"The rules for promotion to the Inner Sect are simple: control a spirit corpse on the arena, win a match, and you can be promoted to the Inner Sect."

"But I must remind you, while the rules are simple, it's not that easy."

"Many disciples have taken the Inner Sect assessment several times, and each time, they prepare thoroughly, yet some fail even with a mid-grade flying corpse."

"You need to consider carefully because if you fail, your flying corpse could be damaged."

Chu Nan was indifferent to this. After Lu Yao's awakening, she was considered an ultimate wandering corpse; defeating a flying corpse was easy, let alone facing an elder.

"Elder, if they were truly prepared, they wouldn't fail."

"I am confident that I can be promoted to Inner Sect Disciple!"

Seeing this, Li Mu no longer persuaded him. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Go, register and queue."

After that, Chu Nan left to register.

Li Mu frowned slightly as he looked at Lu Yao following behind Chu Nan: "Where did this disciple come from? I've never seen him before."

Soon, Chu Nan spent a piece of yuan stone to register. After drawing lots, he confirmed his duel opponent.

Outer Sect Disciple Yang Quan, who was only at the Yang Wheel level one in cultivation but had a mid-grade spirit corpse.

"Junior brother, please give me guidance later." Yang Quan's eyes were narrow and he had an aquiline nose, exhibiting the characteristics of a narrow-minded person at first sight.

He stared provocatively at Chu Nan, a threatening smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

After leaving these words, he left with a light laugh.

Those behind him saw Chu Nan draw Yang Quan and showed sympathetic expressions.

"So unlucky, to draw Yang Quan."

"Yang Quan's spirit corpse has been cultivated for a long time, with Elder Chen's help in refining it. It's said to be on the verge of breaking through to a high-grade spirit corpse; who could defeat that?"

"Yang Quan is known for his violent nature and loves to destroy disciples' carefully nurtured spirit corpses on the arena."

Someone else persuaded Chu Nan: "Junior Brother, you'd better forfeit to avoid having your spirit corpse destroyed by Yang Quan."

Chu Nan smiled and said, "No problem, I actually want to see just how cruel Yang Quan can be."

Seeing Chu Nan's stubbornness, the crowd stopped persuading him, adopting a stance of spectators waiting for his spirit corpse to be destroyed so they could watch him cry in a corner.

Chu Nan waited with Lu Yao beneath the arena for the spirit corpse duel to begin.

Yang Quan, having originally left, looked again at Chu Nan, or rather at Lu Yao following him.

"This guy is quite fortunate, to have such a cold beauty's favor."

Yang Quan licked his lips, a trace of desire appearing in his eyes.

Due to the Spirit Corpse Sect's overall environment, both men and women were affected by the Yin Evil Qi, making their appearances lackluster.

Common martial artists who saw female disciples of the Spirit Corpse Sect often became instantly indifferent to lust.

Regarding beauties like Lu Yao, one couldn't find another even in a thousand years at the Spirit Corpse Sect!

"Such a beauty following Chu Nan is sheer waste. A beauty is meant to belong to the strong, Chu Nan doesn't deserve her!"

As his words fell, Yang Quan walked up to Lu Yao and, seemingly friendly, said, "Junior sister, I'm Yang Quan. Are you here for the Inner Sect assessment too?"

"Why didn't Senior Brother see you register just now?"

Lu Yao cast a cold glance at Yang Quan, then withdrew her gaze.

Yang Quan showed embarrassment, not expecting the woman to not even reply, feeling a bit angry inside.

If outside the Spirit Corpse Sect, encountering such a woman, he'd directly make a move, not caring whether she agreed or not.

Thus, Yang Quan persevered: "Junior sister, why aren't you speaking, are you shy?"

Chu Nan looked at Yang Quan, thinking this guy was truly strange, couldn't he see Lu Yao was a spirit corpse?

Looking at Lu Yao, he found she showed no expression like a spirit corpse, her facial control was impeccable.

Yang Quan continued pestering, speaking for a full incense stick's time, until his mouth went dry, yet Lu Yao remained unfazed.

This made Yang Quan completely lose patience, reaching towards Lu Yao in anger: "Senior Brother's talking to you, can't you hear? So rude, I must teach you a lesson!"

As Yang Quan was about to grab Lu Yao, Lu Yao finally moved.

Her icy gaze met Yang Quan's, and her fist, like a hammer, smashed directly into his face.

Bang!

Following the bang, Yang Quan let out a miserable scream, his aquiline nose breaking, and his body shooting out like a projectile.

This scene immediately attracted everyone's attention, their eyes filled with shock and fear.

No one expected this seemingly frail girl's strength to be so terrifying, sending Yang Quan of the first Yang Wheel level flying with a single punch.

Chu Nan looked at Yang Quan, saying: "Senior Brother, if someone ignores you, they are rejecting you; you should wisely leave instead of attempting violence."

"Be wise, or you'll just end up unlucky."

Yang Quan angrily climbed up, glaring at Chu Nan, in his heart tearing him into countless pieces.

His gaze returned to Lu Yao. Yang Quan clenched his fists secretly, resolving to win over this woman, no matter the underhanded means.

Though Lu Yao had just demonstrated power beyond his own, Yang Quan believed he could easily subdue her with his spirit corpse.

"Chu Nan, alright, alright, alright!"

"Once we're on the arena, I'll tear your spirit corpse into pieces and devour it piece by piece!"

Chu Nan was indifferent to Yang Quan's threat; he was very clear about his strength, even without using Lu Yao, he could beat Yang Quan into submission.

Yet Yang Quan's threats still worked on others, who intentionally maintained a distance from Chu Nan, afraid of being caught in the conflict.

At this moment, the assessment officer on the arena declared: "Outer Sect Disciple Yang Quan, Chu Nan, prepare for the spirit corpse duel."

Boom!

As his words fell, Yang Quan slapped his storage bag, and a two-meter-tall, bare-chested humanoid spirit corpse appeared in the hall.

This spirit corpse was densely covered in white hair, each strand over six inches long!

Within each piece of flesh seemed to lie an ominous force capable of overturning mountains and rivers.

Yang Quan showed a cruel expression, ascending the arena with his spirit corpse, provocatively gesturing at Chu Nan.

"Is this Yang Quan's spirit corpse?"

"So terrifying, it truly seems comparable to a high-grade flying corpse."

"Chu Nan is doomed this time; I wonder what his spirit corpse will be like?"

...

Chu Nan also slowly ascended the arena. As he stepped on, whispered conversations arose throughout the hall.

"What is he doing?"

"Isn't this a spirit corpse duel? What's with bringing a woman onto the arena?"

"Probably scared dumb by Yang Quan..."

Yang Quan saw Lu Yao next to Chu Nan and laughed, saying: "Chu Nan, you idiot, what are you doing? This is a spirit corpse duel, are you planning to give this woman to me?"

"Hahaha..."

The assessment officer on the arena frowned at this moment: "Chu Nan, let unrelated persons leave and bring out your spirit corpse."

"If you don't bring out your spirit corpse soon, I will declare you lose the assessment!"

Facing everyone's skepticism, Chu Nan feigned confusion: "Bring out my spirit corpse? How strange, my spirit corpse has always been here!"
