Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

"Brother, are you here to become an apprentice too?" A young man dressed in linen clothes greeted him with a smile from inside the house.

Zhou Chen nodded and found a seat inside the room.

The young man in hemp clothing approached again, grinning, "Isn't Senior Sister Lianxing beautiful? She's the daughter of Master Yi."

"If you ask me, five or six out of ten people in this room are here because of Senior Sister Lianxing."

Zhou Chen asked, "What do you mean?"

Upon seeing Zhou Chen's response, the young man in hemp clothing immediately became excited and lowered his voice, saying, "Besides being beautiful, Senior Sister Lianxing is also a well-known genius in Xingde County. She has already cultivated her inner strength at a young age..."

I heard from a relative who works at the temple that she's close to breaking through to the Refining Realm.

Zhou Chen was slightly surprised upon hearing this. Judging from Yi Lianxing's appearance, she was only in her early twenties, a few years older than him, yet she was already a martial artist at the Inner Strength level.

Compared to this, my own strength is still far from sufficient.

"What does Yi Lianxing's breakthrough to the Inner Strength level have to do with your desire to join the Crimson Flame Martial Arts School?" Zhou Chen asked, puzzled.

The young man in hemp clothing shook his head. "It wasn't us, it was them."

He pointed to several young men in brocade robes in another corner of the room. They had a hint of arrogance on their faces and were not very old, resembling Zhou Chen.

Seeing that those people were only half a point worse than him, Zhou Chen immediately understood.

Even within the three great families of Zhao, Li, and Chen, members of the inner circle are capable of wielding considerable influence.

If one's own cultivation talent is too poor, having a wife with internal strength as an ally can be of considerable value.

He shook his head inwardly. In his opinion, Yi Lianxing seemed approachable, but she was also an arrogant person.

Trying to win her heart with just a pretty face is probably as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Before long, a disciple in blue robes walked in from outside the door.

He glanced at the people in the room, and when he saw the group of young men in brocade robes with sparse cultivation, he revealed a hint of sarcasm.

"Everyone, follow me to the training ground for the entrance test."

"Those who pass the test may enter our academy to learn skills."

After saying that, he turned and walked away, and a group of people quickly got up and followed behind him.

Upon arriving at the training ground, the gray-clad martial artists who had been practicing their moves had already dispersed, gathering in twos and threes to stretch and relax their muscles.

Upon seeing the disciple in blue leading Zhou Chen and his group over, they all gathered around.

"Brother Qing, there are so many people wanting to get into the museum today."

Brother Qing's full name is Guan Yangqing. He is an outer disciple who has been with the sect for more than ten years, so he can be considered a veteran.

Most of the people around, dressed in gray, were ordinary people who had paid tuition to learn martial arts.

Many of them were sons of wealthy families in the city. They joined the Crimson Flame Martial Arts School under a nominal title, so that if they encountered any injustices, they could use the school's reputation to their advantage.

Guan Yangqing replied, "A few days ago, Senior Sister Lianxing defeated the 'Bull' of the Iron Stone Martial Arts School, and many people have come here because of her reputation."

Immediately, he clapped his hands, signaling everyone to stand in the center of the training ground.

The gray-robed disciples who had gathered around wisely dispersed.

Guan Yangqing usually laughs off jokes and banter, but if they interfere with serious matters, she won't let it go so easily.

"Those who wish to become registered disciples, stand on the left; those who wish to join the outer sect, stand on the right."

Zhou Chen and his group of more than ten people were divided into two lines, one on the left and one on the right, clearly separated.

Zhou Chen stood on the right, looking at the few people beside him with slight surprise.

He originally thought that everyone wanted to join the martial arts school for the purpose of learning martial arts, but he didn't expect that there were more people who wanted to be under the protection of the Crimson Flame Martial Arts School.

Those standing on the left were taken away by another disciple in green, leaving only Zhou Chen, the young man in hemp clothing, and two other young men in brocade robes by Guan Yangqing's side.

Guan Yangqing sized up the four people, "Name, age, cultivation level, and family background?"

The first in line was a handsome young man. When Guan Yangqing's gaze swept over him, he curled his lips and said, "Zhao Ting, sixteen years old, with the cultivation level of Flesh Refining, from a branch of the Zhao family in Xingde County."

These words caused an uproar among those around them.

As one of the three great families in Xingde County, even their branch families have a status that is superior to most people, which is enviable.

Guan Yangqing nodded, his expression calm.

Since Senior Sister Lianxing broke through to the Inner Strength realm, he has seen many scions of aristocratic families join the martial arts school.

Immediately afterward, the young man in burlap sacked his clothes with both hands, his voice trembling slightly, "Shi Feng, eighteen years old, a cultivator at the Skin Refining stage, his family runs a small business in the east of the city."

"Li Wuji, sixteen years old, Bone Forging Cultivation, second son of the third branch of the Li family."

"A direct descendant?" Guan Yangqing raised his two thick, dark eyebrows and then carefully examined Li Wuji's appearance.

The current magistrate of Xingde County is a direct descendant of the Li family, and is also skilled in business. His family's wealth is the strongest among the three major families.

Guan Yangqing has been immersed in the Bone Forging Realm for many years, and he may be able to break through to the Inner Strength Realm in a while. When he wants to go out and get a job in the government, he will have to deal with the Li family.

Hearing Guan Yangqing's surprise, Li Wuji nodded with his head held high.

"And you?"

"Zhou Chen, sixteen years old, with Bone Forging cultivation, is a hunter from Cangsong Village."

A look of surprise flashed in Guan Yangqing's eyes. The sixteen-year-old Duan Gu was not from a noble family, but he was also a person with outstanding talent.

He immediately made up his mind that even if he couldn't befriend Zhou Chen, he couldn't afford to become enemies with him.

"Can you afford the ten taels of silver a month tuition fee to become an outer disciple?"

All four nodded and took out silver from their pockets, placing it on the tray in Guan Yangqing's hand.

Guan Yangqing weighed it in his hand to confirm its weight, and immediately someone brought over a tray.

On the plate were two sets of light blue robes for changing and a bright red waist tag engraved with the words "Chi Yan".

"Go inside and change your clothes. Maybe you can catch the inner sect senior brother teaching you the Crimson Flame Fist." Guan Yangqing waved his hand.

After the others dispersed, Shi Feng immediately approached them.

Now that they have entered the school, they are students of the same grade.

The other two were both arrogant scions of prominent families. Although Shi Feng was talkative, he was not one to flatter others and would not stoop to their level.

The Crimson Flame Martial Arts School teaches without discrimination; as long as one inquires about one's cultivation level, age, and background, one can become an apprentice.

If someone with extremely poor martial arts aptitude wants to join the outer sect, they will be politely advised to turn away.

Although the martial spirit was extremely strong in the Great Qian Dynasty, those with extremely poor martial arts aptitude should choose another path rather than waste their years.

Shi Feng had a friend who was also studying at the Crimson Flame Martial Arts School, so he already knew about the situation there.

Among all the monks at Qingfeng Temple, the abbot has the highest cultivation level, roughly at the peak of the Marrow Cleansing stage.

There are also two head coaches whose strength is at the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

The rest were the martial arts instructors and many inner disciples, all of whom were top experts in the Inner Strength Realm, numbering about ten.

There are over a hundred outer disciples like Zhou Chen and Shi Feng.

Normally, the headmaster and chief instructor are not responsible for teaching; the teaching of outer disciples is mostly handled by senior inner disciples.

"I heard that Senior Sister Lianxing also comes to give guidance when she has time." Shi Feng said with admiration when he mentioned Yi Lianxing.
