Chapter 321 Ch-321: Wang Ming did not get the first kills?
"Damn, don't be unreasonable," Mu Feixu said, her mood sour, knowing her peak would now surely rank at the bottom.
"I'm not being unreasonable. They've all already agreed to join me. Even if I tried to persuade them, it wouldn't work. First of all, Disciple Min Li and Wang Ming are both people I refuse to part with, and as for the others, even if I told them to leave, they wouldn't agree—they are Disciple Wang Ming's Dao partners," Zhou Huixin said nonchalantly, while the peak masters who heard this grimaced and reluctantly accepted the reality.
'Damn, I'm going to pay attention to the Outer Court from now on,' all the peak masters had the same thought
"Haha," suddenly Mu Feixu, who had been gritting her teeth in frustration and anger, stopped as she remembered something and burst out laughing.
"Why the hell are you laughing all of a sudden? Did you go mad with jealousy?" Zhou Huixin asked with a frown, speaking in a mocking tone.
"Hehe, you forgot something," Mu Feixu said with a smirk.
"What's that?" Zhou Huixin asked curiously. Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
"We can still give him better offers and poach him," Mu Feixu said, and the other peak masters' eyes twinkled with realization. Zhou Huixin's smile stiffened.
"Ah, right… yes, I forgot about that. There's nothing stopping him from leaving your peak," commented Qin Mu.
"Yes, yes, we still have a chance," another peak master added, already thinking of ways to entice Wang Ming.
"Hehe, you can try, but he won't break his word," Mu Feixu said with confidence, which caused some of them to doubt her while most ignored the comment.
'Damn, he won't get enticed, right?' Zhou Huixin thought nervously. Even though Wang Ming had agreed, he still hadn't formally joined her peak since he wasn't an inner court disciple yet. When she gave Min Li the robe of her peak, she did it to make her hesitate to leave, but nothing was guaranteed.
"Hmm, look, Sect Master," Lei Ping said as he pointed toward one of the screens showing Bai Lingxi and the girls leaving the starting area.
"I should assign the mission to pass this round," Jiang Hong said, ignoring everyone who was distracted. A screen appeared in front of him, and he typed something.
[Would you like to assign a quest to the affiliated faction Yang-Yin sect?]
Jiang Hong saw this, clicked "yes," and the screen disappeared.

Bai Lingxi, Shi Yu, and Luo Li had entered and were amazed by the realism. Luo Li was already an inner court disciple; the reason she was able to participate was due to Wang Ming. She joined as Wang Ming's partner, meaning if Wang Ming became a Peak Disciple, she would also be able to join the peak even without meeting the qualifications.
"Looks like he's not with us," Bai Lingxi mumbled.
"Yes, if he were here, we would have encountered him," Shi Yu added as they searched for Wang Ming in the starting area but couldn't find him.
"Looks like he's in the other starting area," Luo Li mumbled.
"By the way, let's go outside and start hunting the beasts," Bai Lingxi said, growing impatient.
"Shouldn't we get a weapon first?" Luo Li suggested.
"Do you think we need a weapon to fight?" Shi Yu asked.
"Oh, right," Luo Li nodded several times as she remembered that both of them had techniques that didn't require weapons.
As they headed outside, the onlookers stared at them in shock.
"Huh, are they going out of the starting area?" one of the onlookers, who was a player, looked at them in surprise.
"I can see they have the lowest cultivation and don't have any weapons. Looks like they're new," commented another player.
"Look at their robes—they're from the Yang-Yin sect. I've heard the sects are having the inner court promotion exam. Looks like they're the ones," added another disciple.
"Hey, do you think I might get lucky with one of these beauties if I help them?" said another person, and many of their eyes lit up. A group of them had already advanced toward the girls, blocking their path.
"What is the meaning of this?" Bai Lingxi asked with a cold frown as she watched a group of men block their way.
"Fairies, don't misunderstand. We're trying to help. You're probably new and don't know much. The beasts outside have higher cultivation, and there's no way you'd be able to defeat them," said one of the handsome men.
"Your point?" Shi Yu asked with a frown, already guessing their thoughts.
"If you let us accompany you, we can help. Of course, after our help, we'd like to invite you girls to have a meal with us in the real world," said the same man with a charming smile.
"Get lost, disgusting bugs," Bai Lingxi said coldly and walked away.
"Arrogant women… I like them. Let's follow them. When they're unable to fight, we'll save them and earn their favor," said one of the men, not minding Bai Lingxi's cold words, and they began to follow the girls.
"Ugh, they're following us," Luo Li said.
"Ignore them," Bai Lingxi said in an indifferent voice.
"Huh, how much is this sword?" Wang Ming asked as he stood in front of a virtual weapons store. Well, he needed a weapon—a sword to be exact—because most of his techniques required one.
"100 Foundation Realm beast cores," the virtual shopkeeper said.
"Damn, so expensive. Got anything cheaper?" Wang Ming asked.
"Tsk, another beggar. Looking at your cultivation, you seem to be broke. You can get those normal steel swords—they're basically free, and you can take as many as you want. They're used by beggars," the virtual shopkeeper said with visible disdain, causing Wang Ming's lips to twitch. Min Li, watching this, stifled a laugh.
