Due to Duan Shu's training, he completely forgot about that challenge.
Although Chen Tian wasn't originally interested, he felt obligated to participate after making a promise.
"To begin with, I wasn't interested and planned to refuse, but you persuaded me to accept, so I complied," Chen Tian complained.
Xu Zhiyuan chuckled, "I had a purpose in doing that. I wanted you to participate so you could raise your rank in the Outer Court."
"Raise my rank? Why?" Chen Tian asked, perplexed by Xu Zhiyuan's sudden interest in his progress within the Outer Court.
This time, Duan Shu interjected, "Xu Zhiyuan wants you to become an inner disciple, not just raise your rank."
"An inner disciple? That's a significant leap from my current status," Chen Tian exclaimed.
In the Immortal Sword Sect Outer Court, there are currently 30,000 outer disciples.
