After a blink of an eye, 15 years had passed. Even though the terrifying incident during that year still remained vividly in the memories of people, no one knew what the actions of the celestial court was.
There were numerous sects within the Eastern Region, and among them was the Buddha Benevolent Sect, which was just one of the many.
Today just happened to be the Buddha Benevolent Sect annual recruitment year of disciples. All of the responsibilities and tasks were again thrown to the outer court disciple.
The outer court disciple was not only looked down by the people in the Buddha Benevolent Sect, but also looked down by the people that were not even affiliated with the sect.
The reasoning for this was very straightforward. Being an outer court disciple meant that one's potential was poor and in their entire life, they will not be able to achieve any significant thing in their life. Thus naturally, they were looked down upon and despised.
The plump lady who was accompanied by a young girl and dressed in beautiful garments yelled at one of the young men with a snobbish tone "What is the meaning of this disrespectful behavior towards me? Do you even know who I am?"
"I am very sorry. But the school is about to close as it is very late now. Will it be possible for you to come back tomorrow?" The young man was unremarkable in appearance, with a lean build and unassuming features. He had no perceptible cultivation as of now.
His name was Lian Chen, and he was 15 years old. He is also one of the tens of thousands outer court disciples.
"What do you mean come back tomorrow? We are in the mountains, do you expect us to climb the mountain again for registration? I do not care, if you do not find me a place of residence, I am not leaving this entrance." The plump lady did not listen and even grabbed Lian Chen's clothes.
"Hey enough! Don't you see it's already late and the school is about to close? Scram out of my sight right now!" Suddenly, a young man appeared with sharp and distinct features and piercing eyes that conveyed a sense of determination. He was dressed in golden robed clothes, indicating that he was an inner court disciple.
As soon as the plump lady caught sight of him, she quickly took her child and made her way down the mountains.
"Lian Chen, follow me inside." Lian Chen hurriedly followed the young man inside, and while walking, there were many onlookers smiling suspiciously, as if they were looking forward to what is going to happen to Lian Chen.
Walking for about 5 minutes, they reached a small straw hut outside, with a sign "Lian Chen" on it. Immediately reaching outside, the young man looked towards Lian Chen and punched his stomach with sheer force.
Lian Chen's face twisted in pain as he clutched his stomach, gasping for air. His knees buckled as he stumbled backwards, his vision blurring as he fought to stay conscious.
"This is only a recruitment event and you can't even handle such a small problem properly. This is why you have been stuck at the body refinement middle stage at 15 years old. Trash."
This young man's name was Gou Liu, and he has been bullying Lian Chen ever since he was in the Buddha Benevolent Sect. Lian Chen looked towards Gou Liu, with a hint of murderous intent as he has always been bullied by Gou Liu and has been mocked.
"If you're wise, better not cause any trouble for me anymore during the recruitment event." Warned Gou Liu as he left, while some outer court disciples tried to flatter him in hopes of receiving some benefits from him.
