Martial Hero Rebirth Chapter 6: Joining Huashan

Since the mont Duan Feifei fled out from the teahouse, each ti she rembered the thief[1] inside the teahouse was looking at her lecherously, even teasing her, made her feel extrely angry.

"That thief is so hateful. He actually dared to stare at that place of this lady." Rubbing at her puffed out chest, Duan Feifei felt like there was a young deer inside her heart, jumping around, causing her heart to palpitate.

"I almost died of embarrassnt!"

There were none who dared to stare at her like since she was small, Duan Feifei was embarrassed yet angry. She really wanted to gouge out the eyes of that thief.

"Holy Maiden[2], do you this subordinate to gouge out the eyes of that thief?" A voice of the old man who was dressed like servant ca from behind, "With the skills of this subordinate, it'll only take a mont!"

"Don't"

Duan Feifei exclaid suddenly, seed to find there's sothing wrong with herself, she continued hurriedly, "Leizhou City is under the jurisdiction of Huashan sect. Huashan has always been the enemy of our holy sect. Now we can't let out any slip, lest they knew that we are here."

"In order to find my father, everything must be done with safety as priority."

"As for that thief, count it as his luck, let him off for this ti! Don't let this lady see him next ti, otherwise, I'll let him suffer!"

The old man nodded. The Holy Maiden was still so young, yet in order to find her father, she didn't hesitate to swallow her humiliation for a greater task. This moved the old man.

"Let's go. I have got so clues regarding my father, we'll go check it out secretly." Duan Feifei just finished talking, the tip of her toes tapped the ground lightly, then she leapt upwards, landed on the roof and quickly left. The old man moved slightly, like a bird which was pulling out onion seedlings on dry ground[3]. He also landed on the roof and quickly followed.

At the outside of Dragon Escort Agency.

"Yi'er, what happened to you? Why is your complexion so ugly?"

Lin Zhihu looked at the pale and ugly Lin Yi, bewildered.

"It's nothing!" Lin Yi didn't tell him the fact that he had just escaped death and changed the topic, "Uncle Hu, how's your things going?"

"It's done, when I told the escort agency's head chief that I am going to send you to Huashan, he gave a break happily." Lin Zhihu thought back at the scene at how the escort agency's head chief talked to him, then he said delightedly.

"Then let's hurry on our way, Uncle Hu. I want to arrive at Huashan quickly and can't wait to learn the profound sword arts of Huashan already." Lin Yi smiled, with a look of longing.

Having escaped death once, Lin Yi couldn't wait to increase his strength much longer. Without strength, it was impossible for him to be so lucky everyti to have his life spared.

Lin Zhihu didn't put much thought into it. He thought this nephew of his can't wait to enter Huashan anymore, patted Lin Yi's shoulder happily, "Good! All according to your wishes, Yi'er. Then let's travel through the night and reach Huashan earlier. Only by that, you can feel at ease!"

Lin Yi handed over the horse to Lin Zhihu. Both of them mounted their horses skillfully, slapped the horses' hip, shouted, "Jia!"

Two people along with their horses left quickly, leaving Dragon Escort Agency and Leizhou City soon, heading in Huashan's direction and travelled through the night.

.

Huashan Sect, one of the Five Mountain Sword Sects Alliance.

With their exquisite sword arts, their reputation spread throughout the pugilistic world.

The Huashan Sect in Great Pugilistic World wasn't the sa with the one's in television dramas which only had a few disciples. Instead, it had a really strong foundation of a big sect.

With a trendous amount of lower courtyard's disciples numbering around forty thousand, and around five thousand disciples of upper courtyard, it was a real and genuine powerhouse!

Disciples of lower courtyard were new recruits, with four recruitnts held throughout the year.

If a disciple of lower courtyard was unable to move up to upper courtyard after practising for five years, then he/she would have to leave Huashan and to be transferred to Huashan's branch throughout the world to contribute to Huashan, becoming the most basic-level echelons in Huashan. Every year, there would be more than ten thousand of people coming out from lower courtyard. These human resources would then form the most solid foundation of Huashan in pugilistic world.

Disciples of upper courtyard would have the eligibility to practise martial arts for the rest of their life in Huashan, living in the middle part of Mt.Hua[4]. Only lower courtyard's disciples with good talent or those who could be counted as at least third-rate experts could move up to upper courtyard. Disciples of upper courtyard were the middle-level echelons in Huashan. Various middle-level managents in Huashan were assud by them.

Placed above the upper courtyard's disciples were the true disciples of Huashan. They were referred as core disciples. Numbering less than three hundred, all of them lived on the peak of Mt.Hua. All of them were exceptional geniuses. Except new recruits, all of them were at least second-rate experts and able to spread their reputations in pugilistic world.

Wanting to move up from lower courtyard to upper courtyard was difficult. Every year, those who were able to move up to upper courtyard didn't exceed a hundred.

Wanting to beco a core disciple from being an upper courtyard disciple was even harder!

Every year, those who successfully beca a core disciple, didn't exceed ten!

"Yi'er, Uncle can only help you enter lower courtyard. If you want to beco a true disciple of Huashan, you need to pass through two stages, which are upper courtyard and core disciple! Uncle only has this much capability. It was only because I'm a Dragon Escort Agency Chief that I'm able to send you to lower courtyard. As for remaining stages, you will have to grab the chances yourself!"

"Uncle can only help you up to here. You only have yourself to rely on for the rest!"

The two of them travelled through the night. They had finally arrived on the feet of Mt.Hua on the seventh day, the night before the recruitnt day of Huashan's lower courtyard. Lin Zhihu talked to Lin Yi with a serious look with a trace of guilt in it.

He was unable to send his nephew directly to upper courtyard so he was feeling guilty.

Lin Yi didn't have any complaints. He had known the situation of Huashan from ga previously. In fact, all major factions recruited their disciples this way so he had been well prepared. Instead, he actually comforted Lin Zhihu, "It's ok, Uncle Hu. You already helped a lot by sending to the lower courtyard. Lower courtyard is also part of Huashan. No matter what, I still want to thank you!"

He didn't lie to him as he really was grateful towards Lin Zhihu. If it weren't for Lin Zhihu's position in Dragon Escort Agency, it might even be impossible for him to enter Huashan!

Firstly, he was now fifteen years old, sixteen soon. To people from pugilistic world, soone of this age had missed the best period to practise martial arts. Just based on this, it was enough for Huashan's elders to deny him the opportunity of enter Huashan.

Secondly, Huashan usually recruited their disciples internally. Even lower courtyard's disciples were picked from the families from various Huashan's branch divisions. As for the others, except they were spotted by upper-level echelons of Huashan, they didn't have the eligibility to enter Huashan.

Without Lin Zhihu, Lin Yi wouldn't be able to enter a major sect. At most, he would only be able to enter a small sect or evil cult.

Though almost anyone could join evil cult, but wanting to learn higher grade martial arts were practically a dream!.

The majority of evil cult passed their martial arts down only to their bloodlines. For an outsider to learn it, it was hard, very hard!

Joining Huashan was the best choice for Lin Yi.

Though he had to start from being a lower courtyard's disciple, he was confident that he could beco a core disciple!

Furthermore, if he rembered correctly, when the chaotic warring period was approaching, Huashan restored the project of head disciple, where the supervision of disciples' trainings were handed to head disciple.

By becoming head disciple, there was a probability of ninety percent to beco the next leader of Huashan!

In the ga, due to the diffentiation of players and the natives, players were unable to compete for the position of head disciple. This had always been sothing regrettable for players who wanted to beco a leader of a major faction, including the five God-ranked players.

It could be said, becoming a head disciple or leader of a faction was the dream of every players!

If it was in the ga, Lin Yi probably would not have the thought on becoming a head disciple.

But the current him was now living in this great pugilistic world.

This position of head disciple, he wanted to give it a try!

Just the thought of beecoming the head disciple or Huashan's next leader made Lin Yi trembled with excitent!

.

The next day, those two who had barely slept last night woke up early and proceeded to Huashan.

At the entrance of Huashan, it was already crowded with seas of people. People from various Huashan's branch divisions brought their children to enroll into Huashan's lower courtyard.

All of them hoped their children could outshine the others in lower courtyard and move up to upper courtyard, so that they could learn martial arts of higher grade.

So of them even had wilder dreams, hoping their children could soar instantly, becoming the core disciple of Huashan, learn the essence of Huashan's sword arts and martial arts!

More than tens of thousands of people carried this kind of hope.

No matter where he glanced, there were nurous people. It made Lin Yi speechless.

This kind of situation was similar to the situation when he attended university in his previous life. Parents were everywhere, as well as new students who were looking forward to the life in university.

However, there were a huge disparity between them!

It was different from the ssy situation in university. Though it was exceptionally crowded, everyone of them followed the regulations here.

Tens of thousands of young boys and girls lined up neatly forming a long queue.

Arriving early, Lin Yi managed to lined in a considerably front position.

Soon, Huashan's lower courtyard's elder ca and the people-in-charge began the recruitnt.

"Lin Yi, fifteen and a half years old, Lin Family of Yu City, Dragon Escort Agency Chief Lin Zhihu. Relationship: with Lin Zhihu as Second Uncle." Looking at the data on the recomndation letter, he glanced at Lin Yi and smiled, "Fifteen and a half years old, slightly too old"

Lin Yi tightened his heart.

"But managed to et the requirents to enter the lower courtyard. Although I'm not optimistic about you, after joining Huashan, I hope you can practise earnestly. I especially hope you can move up to upper courtyard and slap my face!" After finishing his words, he turned around and patted Lin Yi's shoulder.

Having successfully entered Huashan, Lin Yi put his heart at ease. Hearing the words of the person-in-charge, he smiled instead, finding the person-in-charge was quite humorous.

However, if one's ntality was weak, presumably he/she would be frightened to the death on the spot!

"This senior, may I ask for your na?" Lin Yi saluted slightly.

"Why? Want to build relationship with right at the mont you joined?" The person-in-charge smiled, looked at Lin Yi interestingly.

"This one don't dare, it's just that this one has the confidence to be able to learn martial arts well! Asking Senior's na is so that I can go and find Senior when I have moved up to upper courtyard!" Lin Yi faintly smiled.

"Oh? Did I judged wrongly?" The person-in-charge's eyelids moved, "I am Yu Zecheng. Have you rembered it? I really hope that you can move up to upper courtyard and slap my face, so that you can let know even I, Yu Zecheng, has a day where he judged wrongly!"

"Senior Brother Yu, right? I have rembered it." Lin Yi nodded and walked away.

"Lin Yi? Hm, what an interesting brat!" Yu Zecheng took a glance at Lin Yi's back, smiled squintily.

"I am looking forward to it, Junior Brother Lin Yi!"
