My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Chapter 17: Why you should stick to the story

"I have made my choice." Eren stated, making up his mind. "I will select the second option."

As he finished making a selection, he looked at the young boy standing on the ground.

His voice was cold and emotionless as he said, "It is good to be courageous, but you are too weak to face me. Even if I control my strength, you might die. Still, I will allow you an opportunity."

"Instead of facing you myself, I will let my weak little pet face you," he said, as if he was doing a favor on Ye Liang. But deep inside, he was scoffing.

'You little brat, did you think I'll allow you to put my life in danger for your showoff? Since you're so eager to get beaten on your first day, I'll grant you an opportunity while also appearing as if I'm merciful.'

"Weak Little Pet?" The other youngsters smiled wryly in response.

They could only see one pet here. And it was a freakin Phoenix! From which angle was it a weak little pet?!

Although the other participants were shocked that a Phoenix would be facing a participant, but they were more shocked about Eren's words.

"If that phoenix is a weak little pet in his eyes, then how strong is he?!"

"Even Elder Zhang and Elder Li didn't kill anyone when they went easy. But Elder Ren says that people will die even if he went easy? Doesn't that mean he's stronger than the other Elders?!"

"No wonder the Great Demon Sect is so strong."

"The well known Elders are strong enough to destroy Kingdoms over slight displeasure. Meanwhile the unknown elders are even stronger? Just how strong is this sect in reality?"

Eren didn't realize but his reputation had increased amongst the new participants. Even the girl with Six Star Talent was looking at him with great interest now.

Elder Zhang Wei and Elder Li were also surprised. Was this guy really this strong?

While they were thinking about it, Eren landed on the ground next to him, thanks to the help of the Phoenix.

Since everyone has been distracted by his words, no one paid much attention to the fact that he didn't jump down, instead used the winds of the Phoenix to land.

"Is there something on my face?" Eren asked Zhang Wei, who was right next to him, looking at his face.

"Nothing." Zhang Wei lowered her gaze.

She had thought that Eren's aura was stronger than her. But now that he was right next to her, she realized that she had underestimated him.

His aura was stronger when he was away from them. But it became stronger when one came closer to him. And when she stood right next to him, she was certain that this aura was no weaker than their Sect Master's aura!

This made her believe his words even more. Elder Ren was strong! He was stronger than any other Elder! It made sense for him to call a mythical beast a weak little pet.

"He is that strong?" Even Elder Li was stunned. He felt slightly suppressed as well.

Elder Ren's aura was destructive. It destroyed everything in its path, including any other aura.

He started paying more attention to Elder Ren.

....

Ye Liang looked at Eren, his face slightly pale.

When this man stood on the ground, he made everyone feel suppressed.

Just due to the proximity, Eren felt as if a heavy mountain was resting on his shoulders. He didn't think that Eren was bluffing.

If this guy had actually faced him, he couldn't even get close to Eren, even if he was to crawl. The difference between their strengths was too much!

Ye Liang didn't realize that his assumption was correct, but not in the way he thought. The difference between them was too large, but it was in his favor.

He couldn't help but think back to one of the Quests he had received, which involved killing Elder Ren.

Now that he was here, he realized that it was going to be a really hard quest to fulfill in the short term.

He had to finish other quests and get stronger with the help of the system, until he could achieve his goal.

"No wonder this quest was a Legendary Grade...," he muttered.

Even though he didn't believe he could harm Eren because he was weak now, but he knew that he still had to enter this sect and wait for the right time.

Passing the sect entrance exams and getting the top rank was another Quests he had received.

Although the reward wasn't as significant as the Main Scenario Quest, it wasn't bad either.

The Phoenix also came down, landing in the middle of the field. As it was a test, the Phoenix wasn't going to fly, so the challenger could actually challenge it.

The Phoenix had also lowered her strength as per Eren's instructions, but once again it didn't matter. At the end of the day, it was a Mythical Beast!

Ye Liang raised his heavy sword and rushed towards the Phoenix, marking the beginning of the battle.

....

Ten seconds. Merely ten seconds had passed and Ye Liang was lying on the ground, passed out. His face was swollen from the beating he had received.

Although it was a short battle, Eren enjoyed it to the fullest. His expressions were stale, but he was laughing deep inside.

'This is what happens when you don't stick to the story.'

It was when the Sect Disciples stepped forward and gave him a healing pill that he finally recovered, regaining consciousness.

The disciples helped him walk back to the group. Ye Liang couldn't even raise his head in embarrassment.

He had lost the battle in less than ten seconds, the first five seconds of which were spent in running towards the Phoenix. In essence, he had lost the battle in five seconds.

Looking at his condition, many other participants were laughing, feeling grateful that they hadn't challenged Elder Ren.

At least they had lost to the other Elders. But this guy lost to a beast that the Elder called weak.
