Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2457: Chapter 2458: The True Purpose of the Advancement Tournament

Don’t be fooled by the seemingly fewer cultivators within this Space-Time Channel; no tribe lacks servants.

The reason is simple: if an ordinary person has weak strength or cannot cultivate at all, they simply cannot survive outside of the tribe.

Within the tribe, when cultivators come together, the next generation may not necessarily possess cultivation talent, so these ordinary people naturally won’t leave the tribe.

But if these people cannot cultivate, then they can only serve as servants.

Other than large tribes like the Moonwater Tribe, smaller tribes face the constant threat of annihilation, so these disciples naturally seek the protection of larger tribes.

Over the years, large tribes grow ever larger, and their personnel become increasingly diverse.

But one thing is certain, as personnel increase, the status of servants surely plummets significantly.

Take this advancement tournament, the competition must first start with the servants.

However, with so many servants, who is willing to painstakingly arrange matches for each one?

Thus, as time went on, the advancement tournament established its own rule!

That rule is chaos!

Of course, this chaos battle doesn’t involve all disciples.

It primarily embodies one word: chaos!

When registering, each servant participating in the advancement tournament receives a Token, which during this time, is equivalent to their lifeline!

Lose the Token, and it’s a dead end!

Despite the number of servants who register, only fifty of them will eventually become Inner Sect Disciples!

And these fifty must undergo tribal review; ultimately, only about half are truly qualified to enter the Inner Sect.

After all, for an Inner Sect Disciple, the tribe must allocate substantial cultivation resources for their development, so if there are too many, even the Moonwater Tribe can’t afford it.

But the number of servants registered is no less than a thousand!

Thus, the final outcome is just a handful of scenarios.

One scenario is those without a Token, who naturally face a demise; the tribe certainly won’t sentence servants to death, this mostly happens during the Token snatching process.

Anyone holding a Token can stop participating in the fight after a set time, thus preserving their life.

Furthermore, the more Tokens one holds, the greater their chance of qualifying as an Inner Sect Disciple. But of course, the quantity of Tokens doesn’t determine whether one becomes an Inner Sect Disciple! Don’t forget, the final selection is up to the totem!

But one thing is certain, anyone without a Token cannot be selected as an Inner Sect Disciple. Even possessing a single Token makes selection possible!

Therefore, servants with limited cultivation aim to obtain a Token in this advancement tournament!

Of course, it means obtaining someone else’s Token; merely possessing one’s own Token doesn’t count.

Thus, some servants who are weak might have good luck, encountering even weaker servants, or picking up fallen Tokens, and miraculously becoming Inner Sect Disciples; such occurrences aren’t unheard of!

This is why so many servants, despite knowing the life-threatening risks, still choose to register.

Ultimately, whether one becomes an Inner Sect Disciple or not, the tribe rewards a certain number of Crystal Stones based on the number of Tokens obtained!

Reportedly, a single Token equates to two years’ income as a servant!

This is quite tempting for servant disciples!

After all, if one obtains multiple Tokens, their future days will be much more prosperous.

However, when Ye Luo heard this rule, he only sneered repeatedly.

It seems like the Moonwater Tribe is generous! In reality, it’s just a Moonwater Tribe tactic.

This rule will lead to so many servants losing their lives!

Although servants complete tribal tasks, they are indeed a considerable burden on the tribe.

If the tribe executed servants directly, it would surely cause discontent and lose the people’s hearts.

Ye Luo even suspects that this advancement tournament isn’t about selecting high-level disciples but rather a method to resolve the servant issue!

With so many servants, only twenty or thirty are eventually selected as Inner Sect Disciples!

And that tribal reward, a Token equal to just two years’ worth of a servant’s gathered Crystal Stones!

You must know, a Token represents a servant’s life.

Ye Luo now understands why the Third Master was so expressive when he heard Ye Luo registered.

It turns out they already knew the inside story.

It’s not just the servants, even for Inner Sect Disciples; this is a grand cleansing, those with very poor talent or realms unmoved for years face life-threatening risks.

At this moment, the Martial Arena’s servants wield Tokens, guarded against each other, as the advancement tournament belonging to servants has officially commenced.

Of course, given the servants’ status, there are only a few Elders standing outside, and not a single Grand Elder from the tribe showed up!

This clearly demonstrates the tribe’s attitude towards servants.

Following this, Ye Luo feels dozens of hostile gazes falling upon him.

After all, his Divine Sense is strong, even without outward release, his senses are far sharper than other cultivators.

Naturally, these servants all sense his low realm and target him.

”Seems like some trouble!” Ye Luo felt a bit helpless.

Though these servants pose no threat to him, the sensation is annoying, akin to facing a swarm of flies.

Finally, some servants start taking action; in fact, not just around him, the other areas in the Martial Arena also plunged into chaos.

Moreover, within a short time, servant disciples began shedding blood.

Here, there is no talk of camaraderie; it’s kill or be killed, using all possible shady tricks!

As Ye Luo observes, several disciples rush towards him.

They appear eager, fearing others might snatch the fat sheep, Ye Luo, from them.

Swish swish!

Immediately, several attacks overwhelm Ye Luo.

Typically, whoever kills Ye Luo will own his Tokens.

Meanwhile, these cultivators have already surged over.

Boom!

A loud bang resounds, and the bodies of these servant disciples explode!

This commotion quickly draws surrounding attention; not surprisingly, it’s merely momentary as everyone is deep in battle, with no time to focus on others.
