Mountain Sitting Immortal

Arthur recognized the ugly disciples of the Purple Flower sect to be the ones who have also modified their bodies. So their ugliness is a result of their intentional cultivation.

This physical modification doesn't grant enhanced defense like that of the Blood Skull sect, but it turns the body into a natural producer of poison.

He read that every color on their body represents a different type of poison. So the more colorful their bodies are, the more poisons they have.

Arthur thought to himself solemnly, "I hear that their poison is terrifying. I should take care when I fight these kinds of people."

He doesn't think that there is anyone who can match the disciples of the Blood Skull in terms of raw power. But he also knows that raw power is not everything there is to a fight, especially when that fight is a fight to the death.

The disciples of the Purple Flower sect are masters of poison. So even though they are weak, they must not be taken lightly.

He, for one, is taking them seriously. He even warned himself not to be overconfident even though he had lightning and wood elements to help him resist poison.

To Arthur, the colorful disciples of the Purple Flower sect are like the colorful poisonous frogs. Their bright colors are for warning off predators.

He has considered himself warned. But he is sure that this kind of warning won't work on everyone. This thought made him glance back at the black disciples of the Black Bones sect.

He thought to himself as he stared at the walking undead, "These are probably the only ones who don't fear any poison."

He didn't make that statement based on an unfounded suspicion. He has heard that the disciples of the Black Bones sect like to hunt the disciples of the Purple Flower sect the most.

The Black Bones sect does this because not only are they nearly immune to every poison, but also because the poisonous bodies of the disciples of the Purple Flower sect make for very good corpses and are highly sought after.

In fact, the disciples of the Black Bones sect also have their own poison. This is a poison made from death mana, so every living thing, including the disciples of the Purple Flower sect, is susceptible to it.

He chuckled when he thought about this. Then he turned his gaze to the other two sects.

The disciples of the Sword Way sects are the most flashy and the most uniform. They were all carrying swords. Some of them were using one sword, and others had up to ten swords.

The last sect was the Beast Training sect. Every disciple in this group had at least one pet.

The disciples of the Beast Training sect possessed and controlled pets of various kinds. This made them the most chaotic group. They were even more chaotic than the disciples of the Blood Skull sect.

The disciples of these two sects have their own advantages. These advantages were either through controlling swords or controlling animals. But since it mostly relied on raw power, these advantages wouldn't work on the disciples of the Blood Skull sect.

He thought to himself, "This is probably why they are the two weakest sects and why we are the strongest."

The advantage in the cultivation technique of the disciples of the Beast Training sect is the advantage of numbers. One disciple can have up to two pets, so when any fights them, it would be three against one.

The advantage of the technique of the Sword Way sect is similar to this too. They control many sharp swords so they can overwhelm their enemies with numbers.

Unfortunately for these two sects, the advantage of numbers doesn't work on the Blood Skull sect. This is evident from their performance in the fighting excellence test.

As the top 1,000 disciples in the Blood Skull sect, every one of them can fight up to 30 enemies with equal cultivation at the same time and still come out on top.

This achievement is because of their superior firepower at the same level of cultivation. So using numbers against the disciples of the Blood Skull sect won't work.

There are some pets with special abilities that grant the disciples of the Beast Training sect some advantages. But the armaments of the Blood Skull sect also grant them special abilities.

So the disciples of the Blood Skull sect have the advantage of raw power and special abilities too. This means that the Beast Training sect won't be able to defeat them. If anything, their special pets will be taken and turned into Armaments for the Blood Skull sect to use.

Arthur said with anticipation, "I am looking forward to what you can do. Please show me your best. It is best if it is a pet with the power to manipulate lightning."

He is sure that he isn't the only one in the Blood Skull who is thinking of this.

Part of the reason they are participating in this intersect competition is for them to get raw materials for their armaments. There is no rule that says those raw materials can't come from the disciples of the other sects.

The disciples of the Black Bones sect are the ones most notorious for this. The disciples of the Blood Skull mostly want the pets of the Beast Training sect and maybe the corpses of other special individuals, but the disciples of the Back Bones sect will take anything that they can get and target anyone that they come across.

He said to himself with a smile, "So if you think about it, the disciples of the Black Bones sect are the true villains here. At best, we people from the Blood Skull sects are half villains."

"In fact, we can be considered heroes because if not for us, the Black Bones sect will become more rampant and everyone will be doomed.

He chuckled to himself after thinking about this. What amused him about it was that what he said was true.
