Eternal life begins with saving my clan

He turned to look at her and saw her smiling at him. Cao Bohai was furious. 'Are they having fun with us fighting each other?' He gnashed his teeth with fury burning in his heart.

Before he could decide how to react to the unreasonable rules, two people had already jumped to the stage. A man and a woman.

The man and woman looked at each other and nodded. Instantly, they attacked Cao Bohai at the same time.

Taking a deep breath, Cao Bohai threw the unnecessary thoughts out of his mind and evaded the attack. He tried to counter their attack but found out he couldn't.

The couple understood each other's fighting style very well, one that they switched between offense and defense swiftly, leaving no space.

In a couple of seconds, Cao Bohai was pushed into a difficult position. His expression became solemn, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

As for the elders, they watched the battle with a solemn expression. Previously, they were unhappy about Cao Meng's hurtful words, but now, they realized things were not as easy as they thought.

After five minutes, Cao Bohai was defeated.

For a couple of seconds, no one spoke. Everyone was trying to process what they had just witnessed. It was only when the couple shouted in joy that the people came back to their senses.

Cao Bohai was defeated!

The disciples looked at him and saw the shock on his face. He didn't even believe he won't be able to defeat two stage 7 Qi Refinement warriors.

He was a half-step Foundation Building realm warrior. How could he fail to defeat them?

Zimo looked at the confused Cao Bohai and shook his head. "He has too many flashy attacks, weak movement skills. As for his battle sense, it was nonexistent."

"You're right. If he is in the barren land, he would have long been killed by the beasts. As for him joining the sect army, I don't think so."

"With such weak and clumsy techniques, he won't pass the first stage of the exercise."

"Oh, you're talking about the exercise. I heard the master has designed another one. This should be more effective than the previous ones." Aiguo said casually.

But to Huang Guo and Zimo, it was a nightmare. They shivered and sucked in a cold breath. Instantly, they lost interest in watching the match.

"What happened?" Aiguo asked with a cunning smile. "Don't tell me you two are scared of the training."

Huang Guo and Zimo glared at him, wanting to give him a corrective slap but controlled their impulse.

"Ahaha. I'm just kidding." He laughed. "Besides, we're in the city and that won't apply to you."

When they heard this, they looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief.

Ai looked at her brother and said seriously. "Enough, we should end this boring fight and do something important."

"You're right." Aiguo nodded. "We've got all the data needed."

"Brother Zimo, please lecture them on their weakness."

Zimo stood up and walked calmly toward the stage. When the people saw him walking toward the stage, they reduced their chatting, and their expressions became solemn.

"Well done, everyone, and congratulations to those that won straight matches." Zimo began calmly, looking at the disciples.

"I can see how much hard work you've put into your training and cultivation. But…" He paused for a moment before he continued.

"Of you all, only four people have a tiny bit of what cultivating and fighting means. As for the rest... Tsk. Tsk."

Four!

Both the disciples and the elders were stunned. There are close to fifty younger generations, but he was saying only four people know a bit of what they were doing.

Cao Meng was also shocked. She knew her clansmen were not that talented, but she never expected it to be this low. She didn't want to believe it but couldn't find a way to refute him.

She knew the person talking wasn't just bragging or looking down on them. Talk of a killing machine, that's him standing on the stage.

Cao Bohai looked at Zimo with a hateful gaze. He was older than Zimo but how dare him tell them they didn't have a tiny bit of an idea of what they were doing?

His previous defeat put him in a foul mood already, therefore, he couldn't control emotions and said.

"You said we don't have the idea of what we're doing?"

Everyone could feel the anger from his voice.

Zimo turned to look at him and said without any change in expression. "Out of everyone here, you're the most pathetic of them all."

What!

Gasped.

Everyone sucked in a cold breath as they looked at Cao Bohai and saw the throbbing veins on his forehead. His eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted nothing but to jump to the stage and fight it out with him.

Still, his rationality told him otherwise. "How so? I may have lost to them because I underestimated their coordination. I didn't know they will understand each other's battle style that much."

"Really?" Zimo shook his head. He waved his hand casually, dismissing his argument.

"I don't have time for you crying like a kid for your loss." He averted his gaze from him and looked at four people that got their interest.

"The four of you will join me in training for the next one month. How much you can learn will depend on you."

Looking at the four, everyone was surprised. Everyone expects the thin man and the woman with twin daggers to be part of them, but they never expect the couple that defeated Cao Bohai would be chosen also.

Zimo looked at the stunned expressions but didn't care. "Now, let me give you one or two pieces of advice."

"First, all of you lack battle experience. You were fighting as if you were dancing to some children's song. Who the heck taught you all those useless tricks?"

"As a warrior, the sole purpose of martial art is to kill. I don't see the sharpness of a warrior in you. Instead of wasting your clan resources, go learn some trade or become an apprentice."

"And you," He turned to Cao Bohai. "You're a grown-ass man. Why is all your technique full of flashy moves with no substance? Are you a woman?"

"Even a woman does not have that useless trashy moves. That woman will whoop your ass if she has the same cultivation."

He berated Cao Bohai as if he was talking to a kid, which got everyone stunned. Everyone from the Cao clan had their jaws dropped to the ground.

The atmosphere was both hilarious and serious.

As for Zimo, he didn't care about the atmosphere. He berated all the disciples for a good five minutes, which left everyone speechless.

At the end of his speech, he looked at Cao Bohai and said. "If you don't change all your useless skills and you dare use it in front of me, I will beat you to a pulp and turn you into a woman."
