For Daniel and Xu Ying, Ling Xiao's foolish move truly was a blessing in disguise, as it provided the perfect opportunity to gauge the level of the top thirty Outer Disciples.
In Moon Hua Sect, the top thirty Outer Disciples are also referred to as "Honorary Inner Sect Disciples," though this is not an official title but one commonly used by everyone.
After all, the top thirty are all Half-step Grandmasters and gain access to more resources than those ranked beyond. They also have more opportunities to receive guidance from Outer Sect Elders, significantly increasing their chances of promotion.
Calling them Honorary Inner Sect Disciples hardly seems excessive.
Within the Outer Sect, everyone aspires to become an Honorary Inner Sect Disciple, and Daniel, Xu Ying, and Elizabeth Zhao are no exceptions.
Ling Xiao paid no attention to external comments. His choice to challenge Li Anle and Yang Cheng was not solely for vengeance.
He also wanted a point of reference.
