936: Chapter 936: Inner Court Disciple Power Rankings 936: Chapter 936: Inner Court Disciple Power Rankings Walking side by side with Gao Shuxian was an Inner Court disciple nad Yang Lin, who was just over thirty years old.
Before Fang Bai entered the Inner Court, Yang Lin had been the youngest disciple there.
Although Yang Lin was not an Innate Spirit Root Martial Artist, his talents were among the best of ordinary martial artists.
Furthermore, he had once had an opportunity during his travels that allowed him to ascend to the top three in terms of strength among the Inner Court disciples.
In Bitao Martial Academy, to motivate the lower-ranking disciples to strive for excellence, the higher-ups had established power rankings for the nial servant disciples, the External Courtyard disciples, and the Inner Court disciples, and each ranking listed only the top one hundred disciples in terms of strength.
Those who made it onto the rank lists naturally gained prestige and, to preserve their positions or even climb higher, dared not slack off in their cultivation practices and were even more diligent and hardworking.
Disciples not listed felt ashad and regarded it as a disgrace, hence they exerted all their effort in cultivation, determined to see their nas appear on the rankings.
These few power rankings stirred up the enthusiasm for cultivation among the tens of thousands of disciples in Bitao Martial Academy, keeping the entire academy in a near-frenetic state of cultivation.
The positions on these rankings were not fixed but fluctuated with the strengths of the Martial Academy disciples.
Those who were not on the list could challenge those who were at any ti, and if they won, they could replace them.
Similarly, disciples who were lower on the rankings could challenge those ranked higher at any ti; should they win, they would take the other’s place and thus lift their heads high in triumph.
This demonstrates just how fierce the competition for the rankings was.
Yang Lin, having distinguished himself among the hundreds of fierce competitors in the Inner Court, ranked third on the Inner Court disciples’ power ranking, clearly showing his formidable strength.
Yang Lin was not only young but also had strikingly handso features, with sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, a jade-like face, and thin lips.
Combined with his status among the Inner Court disciples in Bitao Martial Academy, he was very popular among the female disciples.
However, Yang Lin was proud and had high standards.
Ordinary female disciples from the Martial Academy did not catch his eye.
Instead, he had held a long-standing affection for Gao Shuxian from the External Courtyard, and even often humbled himself to win her favor.
Gao Shuxian also fancied Yang Lin and wanted him to beco her devoted subordinate, entirely at her beck and call.
The two exchanged glances and quickly got together.
Yesterday, when Fang Bai, Liu Qingqing, and Liu Liehu beca disciples of Bitao Martial Academy, Gao Shuxian felt a hint of danger.
She had suffered a great loss at the hands of Fang Bai and hated him down to her bones but dared not seek revenge on him personally.
Therefore, she thought of Yang Lin.
In Gao Shuxian’s view, although Fang Bai had high talent and strong strength, Yang Lin was also not to be underestimated, having ranked third among the Inner Court disciple strength rankings.
Using Yang Lin to teach Fang Bai a lesson would be perfect.
Gao Shuxian was a woman with a malicious heart; her aim was not just to teach Fang Bai a lesson but to kill him.
As long as Fang Bai died, Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu would not be able to stir any trouble and would fall completely under her control.
The Bitao Martial Academy allowed disciples to challenge each other, as long as they did not intentionally maim or kill.
This ti Gao Shuxian approached Yang Lin to set him up to challenge Fang Bai and give Fang Bai a lesson.
Gao Shuxian wanted to use soone else’s hand to kill Fang Bai.
Acting within Bitao Martial Academy was not feasible.
She had already sched and planned to find an opportunity during future trials so that Fang Bai could die without anyone being the wiser.
When Fang Bai and Hou Ziping saw Gao Shuxian and Yang Lin, Gao Shuxian and Yang Lin also saw them.
“Fang Bai!”
Gao Shuxian’s eyes, filled with hatred, fixed on Fang Bai, her teeth clattering angrily, wishing she could bite a chunk of flesh from his body.
“Junior Sister Gao, is that Fang Bai?”
Yang Lin saw Gao Shuxian’s sudden change in expression and followed her gaze, his brows slightly furrowing.
Yesterday, when Bitao Martial Academy was recruiting disciples, Yang Lin was not present, but he had heard that among the new recruits, two possessed Innate Spiritual Roots, one of whom had a Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root.
And the disciple with the Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root was indeed nad Fang Bai.
When Yang Lin first received this news, he was also very surprised.
He knew very well what a Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root ant for Bitao Martial Academy and knew that Fang Bai would definitely beco a key focus of cultivation by the academy’s higher-ups, with an imasurable future ahead.
Originally, Yang Lin had planned to find ti to get to know this new Inner Sect disciple nad Fang Bai, but unexpectedly, Gao Shuxian suddenly approached him, asking him to confront Fang Bai.
Yang Lin had no personal grudge against Fang Bai and initially did not want to conflict with him.
However, Gao Shuxian tempted him with her own body as bait and promised that once she beca part of the academy’s higher-ups, she would provide Yang Lin with considerable cultivation resources, which made him consider the offer.
Gao Shuxian possessed an Innate Spiritual Root, and combining cultivation with her would yield better effects than any Essence Stone Elixirs.
Furthermore, given Gao Shuxian’s potential, she might very likely beco part of the academy’s higher echelons, even possibly inheriting the position of dean.
At that ti, Yang Lin would gain a continuous supply of cultivation resources.
The two conditions Gao Shuxian offered greatly tempted Yang Lin, making them difficult to refuse, so he agreed to help Gao Shuxian confront Fang Bai.
When Yang Lin first saw Fang Bai, he was sowhat surprised; he had not expected him to be so young.
Moreover, seeing his straight figure, handso appearance, and vibrant energy gave Yang Lin a sense of inferiority.
“Yes, that’s Fang Bai.”
Gao Shuxian, sensing a hint of jealousy in Yang Lin’s expression, sneered inwardly and provoked him, “After Fang Bai beca a disciple yesterday, the academy’s higher-ups were very warm towards him; they clearly intend to focus on cultivating him.
I think, in the future within this Inner Sect, Fang Bai will dominate!
And Senior Brother Yang, I’m afraid you will soon be pushed out of the top three ranks of the Inner Sect disciple combat strength list!”
Yang Lin’s fist tightened suddenly, and his gaze towards Fang Bai turned frosty.
Yang Lin had been in the third position on the Inner Sect disciple combat strength list for a long ti, unchallenged.
For him, this was a symbol of power as well as a great honor.
But as Gao Shuxian said, the arrival of Fang Bai might change all that.
Fang Bai, with his Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root and extraordinary talent, was already a mid-level Heaven Level Martial Artist at just twenty years old.
If the academy’s higher-ups fully supported him with ample cultivation resources, his strength would undoubtedly increase rapidly.
And that would inevitably rewrite the rankings on the Inner Sect disciple combat strength list.
If he were pushed down from the top three positions, it would be a great disgrace.
Yang Lin couldn’t accept such an outco.
