Chapter 135: Junior Brother, Please Queue Up!

I have long despised this so-called Divine Sun Sect!

Although Song Yu originated from a minor family in Wanfeng City and lacked superior natural endowments, he had successfully joined the Wind and Cloud Guard through sheer diligent cultivation. To the many youths of his family, he was a paragon and a role model—a true icon. It was precisely for this reason that Song Yu held such profound contempt for those who lacked discipline in their training.

Since entering the Divine Sun Sect, most of the outer disciples he encountered along the way possessed weak auras and unsteady footsteps. One look was enough to tell that they had not dedicated their focus to the secret arts of physical refinement. This was the very foundation of cultivation; if one did not put in the grueling effort here, what future prospects could they possibly have? If it were just one or two individuals, it could be blamed on personal lack of effort, but if the entire sect was like this, then the problem clearly lay with the sect itself.

Now, hearing Liu Neng boasting about his sect, Song Yu naturally felt nothing but disdain. The Wind and Cloud Guard was an independent entity, answering to no one but the City Lord’s Mansion. Thus, even when facing a master of the Yuan Dan Realm, Song Yu felt no fear in speaking his mind.

"Humph, why would I have any need to lie to you?" Liu Neng’s eyes widened. Although he dared not strike a member of the Wind and Cloud Guard, he could not accept such provocation from a mere stripling. "However, he is only capable of guiding cultivators of his own level; it would be useless for you to go!"

"Elder Liu, since there is such an interesting matter, would you mind taking us to see it?" Hua Xiangyang suddenly felt a surge of curiosity. That fool Han Li, who held the post of education, had achieved nothing, and the Divine Sun Sect was declining by the day—this was an excellent opportunity to criticize them. To think that the sect would actually let a Qi-Condensation Realm disciple instruct others; was that not a complete joke? Once he understood the situation, he could easily leave the Han family in a state of chaos.

Though he spoke as if seeking Liu Neng’s opinion, Hua Xiangyang had no such intention. He veered off and headed toward where Luo Tian was located.

*Damn it!* Liu Neng cursed inwardly, but unable to lash out, he could only lead the way with an awkward smile. He stomped his feet with extra force, wishing he could crush these bastards into the ground.

"Brother Luo is still as amazing as ever!"
"It’s fortunate that Brother Luo came out today; otherwise, we wouldn't have had the chance to seek his guidance."
"Indeed! Those so-called elite disciples have monopolized Brother Luo, hogging the entrance every day and refusing to let anyone else in. It’s truly outrageous!"

Listening to the disciples’ chatter, Luo Tian sighed internally. The four great families had truly seized every advantage. Even though he had no particular affection for these disciples—their relationship being one of mutual need—he felt that the Divine Sun Sect truly needed a change.

*Is that him?* Song Yu spotted Luo Tian in the center of the crowd at a glance. He observed him with interest, shook his head slightly, and chuckled. "He looks decent enough, but it’s all just a con to fool the simple-minded. You are that so-called 'Brother Luo'?"

*A con to fool the simple-minded?* The surrounding disciples glared at the speaker, but upon seeing Song Yu’s arrogant sneer and proud demeanor, their anger vanished. This was a member of the Wind and Cloud Guard, a Pulse-Flow Realm cultivator with the status of an inner sect disciple. With Elder Liu Neng personally accompanying him, they had no choice but to swallow their resentment. Did they really dare to challenge a person like this? That would be a death wish.

"Yes, I am Brother Luo." Luo Tian glanced calmly at the Wind and Cloud Guard member, his tone steady. "This junior brother, please get in line; there are others waiting ahead."

*Truly worthy of being Brother Luo!* Li Yang watched Luo Tian’s back, feeling that anyone who could maintain such an attitude toward the Wind and Cloud Guard was truly extraordinary! It was no wonder, though—Brother Luo had already killed a Pulse-Flow Realm cultivator; why would he fear the Wind and Cloud Guard?

Others who heard this were stunned. *Junior brother?* Did this Luo Tian really think of himself as a senior, calling everyone he met a junior brother? One had to realize that this Wind and Cloud Guard member was a master of the Pulse-Flow Realm; in terms of status, position, and strength, he was leagues ahead of Luo Tian—someone Luo Tian couldn't catch even if he rode a fast horse. To be insulted by such a person, it would have been better to just endure it; why be so confrontational?

The disciples seeking guidance subconsciously stepped back. While Brother Luo’s instruction was important, provoking the Wind and Cloud Guard was truly unwise. In the current situation, it was best to keep some distance.

However, Liu Neng felt a thrill of secret joy upon hearing this, a sensation akin to pouring cold water over one's body after sweating profusely in one's youth—he could hardly contain himself. Seeing the fly-swallowing expression on Song Yu’s face was immensely satisfying!

A flash of coldness crossed Song Yu’s eyes. "Brat, do you know what you are saying?"

"It is you who doesn't know, which is why I have to say it." Luo Tian’s tone remained undisturbed. The Wind and Cloud Guard would undoubtedly be his next source of resources for the evolution of his Divine Eye. Every member would likely receive his guidance sooner or later. If this Song Yu continued with this attitude, he could forget about receiving a single word of advice from him, even if he called him 'Brother.'

*He’s truly arrogant!* Song Yu clenched his fists. He couldn't kill anyone on the spot in the Divine Sun Sect, but who could say anything if he taught him a lesson?

"Luo Tian! This is a member of the Wind and Cloud Guard, not a disciple of our Divine Sun Sect. There is no need to call him 'junior brother'." Liu Neng kept a straight face, though he was secretly delighted. Seeing Song Yu frustrated made him incredibly happy. "Captain Hua, please excuse the lack of discipline in our sect. I will punish him later!"

"Don't move!" Hua Xiangyang barked at Song Yu. Seeing him stand obediently, he walked forward curiously and stared intently at Luo Tian, his tone tinged with uncertainty. "Pulse-Flow Realm?"

A sharp glint erupted in Song Yu’s eyes. This kid looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old; did he already possess the strength of the Pulse-Flow Realm? If true, his talent was already on par with the outstanding descendants of the major powers in the city. Aside from the Hua, Han, and Ling families, even second-rate families would treat him like a treasure. A streak of jealousy rose from the depths of Song Yu’s heart. When he was sixteen, he hadn't even reached the Pulse-Flow Realm; he was still lingering at the eighth turn of the Qi-Condensation Realm. With such arrogance, why did this brat deserve such talent?

"Indeed." Luo Tian glanced at Hua Xiangyang and nodded in admission.

"In that case, teaching you a lesson won't be considered bullying the weak!" Song Yu gave a savage grin, and his yellow protective Yuan energy suddenly surged, emitting a brilliant golden light. It was the third transformation of the Pulse-Flow Realm—the Yellow Light Transformation!

"Captain Hua, for the upcoming Wind and Cloud Guard assessment, our sect intends to send Luo Tian to participate. If he is assigned under your command, I hope you will look after him!" Liu Neng prepared to intervene at any moment. This was his sect, after all; if a disciple were beaten by the Wind and Cloud Guard, it would be a loss of face. As long as Luo Tian remained in the Divine Sun Sect, the sect had to protect him. What happened after he joined the Wind and Cloud Guard was no longer his concern.

"Wind and Cloud Guard assessment? Very well. Brat, your name is Luo Tian, right?" Song Yu’s gaze swept over Luo Tian like a blade, from top to bottom, then back up to his face. "I only hope you can make it to the third round. That will make it very convenient for me to give you some 'guidance'!"

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Luo Tian felt a spark of irritation. Although the pleasure of stepping on people like this was mediocre, one had to strike when the time was right. Back at the ninth turn of the Qi-Condensation Realm, Luo Tian had already defeated Jiang Zhenglong. Now that he had entered the Pulse-Flow Realm and consolidated his foundation, he had a fighting chance against Song Yu, even if he were only at the Red Light Transformation of the Pulse-Flow Realm. In a few days, he would teach him a lesson in humility.

"Haha, then I'll leave him to you, Captain Hua!" Liu Neng dared not let Luo Tian cause any more trouble. According to the Sect Master’s plans, sending him away as soon as possible was the right move. He immediately led Hua Xiangyang toward the exit of the Divine Sun Sect.

Hua Xiangyang glanced at Liu Neng with a playful expression, wondering what medicine this old man was hiding in his gourd. If he really wanted to protect Luo Tian, why would he reveal that he was participating in the assessment? With a Wind and Cloud Guard captain and a Yuan Dan Realm elder present, Song Yu and Luo Tian would certainly not come to blows. He truly couldn't fathom what Liu Neng was thinking.

Though puzzled, Hua Xiangyang said no more and followed along. The purpose of his visit had been achieved; he hadn't truly expected the Divine Sun Sect to find any clues—it was merely a notification. Seeing his captain move, Song Yu had no choice but to follow, though he cast one last vicious glare at Luo Tian before leaving. *Kid, you’re in for it!*
