Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1137 Challenging Yun Xiao Hong

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Sect Leader Qing asked.

"The disciples will naturally become more prideful as the sect's status grows," Su Yang said thoughtfully. "However, a good reputation alone won't be enough if I'm the one doing all the work. The others need to contribute to the sect's growth as well. They must feel like they are actively a part of the sect, not just members who happen to belong here."

"Contribution, huh?" Sect Leader Qing mumbled with a pondering face.

Su Yang smiled and said, "There's no need to overthink it. They may not be good enough to deal with the Mystic Delight Pavilion now, but once they learn my dual cultivation techniques, they'll definitely surpass them."

"Your dual cultivation techniques?" she raised an eyebrow.

"The Mystic Delight Pavilion may have stolen the techniques, but the one who created them is right here. I can simply remake them."

Sect Leader Qing's eyes widened after realizing this.

'He's right! Why didn't I think of this sooner?!' she cried inwardly.

"How long will it take to replace the techniques?"

Su Yang pondered for a moment before responding, "About a week, I guess."

"That fast?"

"It's not like I am creating new techniques. I am simply writing out existing techniques."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"I'll start once I finish my deathmatch."

Sect Leader Qing raised her eyebrows and said, "You mean you're really going to enter a deathmatch with Disciple Yun Xiao Hong? He's no different than a little kid in your eyes. Why bother with him? You're basically bullying him."

"Age doesn't matter. I will slay anyone who deserves to be slain in my eyes. And if you consider this bullying, I have bullied people far weaker and younger than him in the other world. However, if you insist, I'll give him a chance to apologize."

"Do as you wish," she sighed.

"Anyway, I'll leave you alone for now. I'll open the Eternal Yin Yang Cave for you in two weeks."

Su Yang nodded.

Sect Leader Qing returned to her quarters shortly after.

"Is everything okay?" Lin Xinyi asked him afterward.

"Yes, but I'll be busy for a bit. By the way, I am going to fulfill my promise with Disciple Yun now. Want to watch?"

"You're really going to fight him?" she looked at him with a worried face.

Su Yang placed a hand on her head and caressed her hair before speaking in a reassuring tone, "I'll be fine."

"I'll come with you," she said a moment later.

"Sure."

As they stepped out of their living quarters, Su Yang was reminded of the female disciples outside.

"I'm going to meet Disciple Yun right now, but we can chat on the way there," he said to them.

"Disciple Yun? Who?"

"I think he's talking about Yun Xiao Hong."

"Ah! I remember now! They had a little argument, and Senior apprentice-brother Xiao promised he'd challenge Senior apprentice-brother Yun to a deathmatch if he became a Core Disciple."

"Senior apprentice-brother Xiao, you just became the sect's hero. Why would you do something so reckless? You don't gain anything from this."

"You're right. I don't gain anything from killing a nobody like Disciple Yun. However, this is about sending a message."

The female disciples swallowed nervously as they followed him.

The outcast triplets also decided to follow him.

After reaching the Inner Court, they were stopped by someone, as there were Outer Court disciples within their group.

"Can you let them inside for a bit? It won't be long, and they won't wander around," Su Yang said to the sect elder who stopped them.

"..."

"Alright. Make sure you keep an eye on them…" The sect elder said a moment later.

"Thank you."

Soon, they were stopped again right before reaching the Core Disciple's area.

Normally, this place would be extremely strict with their rules, but with Su Yang being backed by the Sect Leader, the sect elder had to take a step back and let them pass.

"I never thought I'd be able to enter the Core Disciple's area while only being an Outer Court disciple…" Wu Bing sighed.

"That pales in comparison to Disciple Xiao's achievements. He became a Core Disciple in record time—even faster than the God of Pleasure!" Ji Ning said.

Sometime later, they arrived at Yun Xiao Hong's living quarters.

Coincidentally, Yun Xiao Hong stood outside his door with another Core Disciple beside him, looking like they were returning home.

When the female Core Disicple noticed Su Yang and his group, she quickly mumbled something to Yun Xiao Hong, who was oblivious.

Yun Xiao Hong frowned and turned around to face Su Yang.

"W-what are you doing here?" he asked.

"What do you think? I came here to challenge you to a deathmatch just like I said I would if I became a Core Disciple. However, I'm willing to forgive you if you get on your knees and apologize to my partner for harassing her."

"What? Are you insane?" Yun Xiao Hong clenched his fists in anger.

"Are you scared?" Su Yang asked, a mocking smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

"Hahaha! Scared? Why would I be scared of you?!" Yun Xiao Hong began approaching Su Yang with a cold expression on his face.

"Are you sure you want to do this? You just became a Core Disciple, and even your reputation within the sect has skyrocketed. Do you really want to throw away everything so quickly?"

"If I don't make an example out of you, people will think they can harass my partners. If you accept my challenge, come with me. Of course, you can just ignore me and walk away. However, I remember you swearing that you'd not refuse it. Are you a man of your own words, Disciple Yun? Or are you just another pathetic bastard who can only bark?"

Yun Xiao Hong began trembling in anger.

"Since you want to die an early death, I'll gladly help you! After all, you're our sect's hero!" he roared.
