Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 32: Sect Recruitment

Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Sect Recruitment
The fifteen sounds of the Barbarian Bull Drum were enough to prove that Wang Ruoxie had already broken through to the Third Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm.
In fact, many people suspected that Wang Ruoxie was still hiding his cultivation; otherwise, how could the Third Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm possess the power of fifteen oxen?
Even the always arrogant Zhao Ting was now gazing at Wang Ruoxie with a look of shock in her eyes.
It should be known that Wang Ruolin, who was at the Fifth Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, only possessed the power of thirteen oxen, and this was because he had obtained the Ninth Grade Yellow Level Bloodline Power, so his physical strength far exceeded that of martial cultivators of the same stage.
At this moment, almost everyone was utterly shocked by the strength that Wang Ruoxie had revealed.
Only Wang Ruoxie himself knew that his ability to achieve this was mainly because he utilized the skills of the Ninth Layer Force and Spiral Force, allowing the Barbarian Bull Drum to make fifteen sounds.
Of course, his own strength also far exceeded that of an average Third Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm. According to his own estimate, it was around the power of ten oxen.
"Indeed, the Seventh Young Master is a peerless genius, not only capable of concocting divine-grade medicinal liquids but also possessing extraordinary aptitude in the martial arts."
Ling Xiang looked at Wang Ruoxie with dazzling eyes, a thought echoed in her mind.
Lady Chi’s face was naturally full of joy at this moment. How could a mother not be happy when her son had achieved such success?
However, Lady Wan’s face was as unsightly as can be. Originally, her son Wang Ruokun was the first genius of the Marquis’s Mansion, but she never expected that not only would Wang Ruolin suddenly rise with the Ninth Grade Yellow Level Bloodline Power, but even Wang Ruoxie, long considered a waste, would suddenly reveal extraordinary strength and talent.
If this continues, won’t the heir to the marquisate be taken by the sons of these two lowly women?
"Good, who would’ve thought that our Wang Family would produce two peerless geniuses."
Wang Minghan suddenly laughed heartily, then turned to Wang Ruoxie and said, "Ruoxie, I know you hold resentment towards me, but you should understand that in the Martial Arts World, everything is determined by strength. Even if you are my son, there will be no exception."
"However, from today onwards, your monthly silver salary will be increased to five thousand taels, and you will never be lacking in cultivation resources."
"I don’t need it."
However, upon hearing this, Wang Ruoxie said indifferently, "I just said that from now on, I won’t take even a penny of gold and silver from the Marquis’s Mansion."
"What a proud young man."
The eyes of everyone present narrowed slightly as they thought to themselves.
They could see that Wang Ruoxie was not acting pettily against Marquis Qingyun nor whining to his father, but was genuinely rejecting from the bottom of his heart what Marquis Qingyun was offering.
The pride of youth, they had all experienced it, but Wang Ruoxie’s arrogance emanated from his very bones, a truly unyielding pride.
"Do you really wish to sever ties with me?"
Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie’s words, Wang Minghan furrowed his brows and spoke again.
"It’s not important; I only have one request: You must ensure my mother’s absolute safety."
Wang Ruoxie replied with a faint smile.
A monthly silver salary of five thousand taels, plus various cultivation resources, might have been unthinkable for him before, but now, he didn’t even care.
Just the silver notes he carried added up to more than a hundred thousand taels. What’s more, by merely concocting some pills and weapons, he could easily earn more gold and silver.
As for cultivation resources, he didn’t feel the need for others to provide them. At least for now, the resources he could obtain would probably surpass the entire Marquis’s Mansion.
"Well then, since that’s the case, I won’t insist any longer. As for your mother, don’t worry, I’ll deploy fifty Tiger Ferocity Army soldiers to guard the Lock Heart Hall day and night, ensuring nothing will ever happen to her."
Wang Minghan sighed lightly and said.
He also knew that over the years, he hadn’t fulfilled his responsibility as a father, and coupled with the incident three months ago, it would be difficult to change Wang Ruoxie’s mind anytime soon.
However, there was still room for turnaround; if he did his best to make amends moving forward and treated Wang Ruoxie’s mother well, he would definitely be able to mend the relationship between him and his son. After all, blood is thicker than water.
The surrounding family members of the Wang Family, as well as servants and guards, silently warned themselves at this moment that from now on, they must not offend the Third Madam.
Relying on her son’s status, they could foresee that from today onwards, Lady Chi’s standing in the Marquis’s Mansion would significantly rise and could even be on par with the main wife, Lady Wan. At least in terms of treatment, the Marquis would never shortchange her again.
This was naturally what Wang Ruoxie wanted to see. The reason he revealed his strength and talent entirely was so that his mother could live better in the Marquis’s Mansion and to ensure that the First Lady dared not easily make a move against her. Only then could he leave the Marquis’s Mansion without worries, leave Wuyi County, and explore the vast world outside.
Afterwards, Zhao Ting and Xu Lin, the senior disciple of Wang Xiufen, also underwent testing.
Zhao Ting, worthy of being the proud daughter from a great family in the Royal City, indeed possessed exceptional talent. Her cultivation at the Fourth Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm made the Barbarian Bull Drum ring nine times. Although she was not as dazzling as Wang Ruolin and Wang Ruoxie, she was far better than most young people present.
As for Xu Lin, the core disciple of Yunxiao Sect, his cultivation reached the Seventh Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, reaching the late stage of the Energy-Introducing Realm, making him one of the strongest present, surpassed only by Wang Minghan, Gao Hongbo, and Meng Ying.
Seventeen sounds from the Barbarian Bull Drum indicated he had the power of seventeen oxen, comparable to an average Eighth Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm.
"Brother Ruoxie, would you be interested in joining our Yunxiao Sect?"
After the tests concluded, Xu Lin approached Wang Ruoxie and said with a smile.
A genius of Wang Ruoxie’s caliber, if he could bring him into the Yunxiao Sect, he would surely receive a generous reward.
Though strength doesn’t represent everything, and true combat is not merely a contest of strength, if power reaches a certain point, it can break all magic.
Wang Ruoxie, though only at the Third Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, could easily defeat an average martial cultivator at the middle stage with his physical strength equating to fifteen oxen.
"Yunxiao Sect, one of the Lower Three Sects, doesn’t really count as a formidable sect."
At this moment, Wang Ruolin suddenly spoke up, "Seventh Brother, if you wish, I can recommend you join the Cloud Heaven Sect. With your strength, it’s not impossible to become an Inner Sect Disciple directly."
As Wang Ruolin’s words fell, everyone was in an uproar, and many people showed envious expressions.
Cloud Heaven Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, with a heritage of hundreds of years, it is said that the Sect Leader of Cloud Heaven Sect was a peerless powerhouse who reached the half-step Celestial Human Realm, even treated equally by the Sovereign, with greatly respected status.
If one could join it, the future would surely be bright, at least reaching the Element Transformation Realm without any problem.
Xu Lin could only smile bitterly and return to Wang Xiufen’s side; Yunxiao Sect couldn’t compare with Cloud Heaven Sect. As long as Wang Ruoxie wasn’t foolish, he would surely choose the Cloud Heaven Sect.
And Gao Hongbo, who originally wanted to recruit Wang Ruoxie, could only shake his head helplessly at this time. Like Yunxiao Sect, Cyan Luo Sect also belonged to the Lower Three Sects and certainly couldn’t compete with Cloud Heaven Sect for disciples.
