While Wang Ming was busy dual cultivating with his partners, something happened that caused a commotion to start in the sect.
The announcement of the inner court promotion exam being held took the Outer Court disciples by surprise, as it was much earlier than expected. Many of them were displeased because they had not finished their preparations due to the sudden announcement. However, the majority were still excited to participate in the exam and earn a promotion to the inner court. After all, not only are the living conditions in the inner court much better and the concentration of spiritual energy significantly higher, but they also receive more resources.

Within a few hours, almost every disciple in the Outer Court rushed to register for the inner court promotion exam, crowding the registration area. Even disciples from non-dual cultivation departments arrived, eagerly anticipating the competition.
"I can't believe the inner court promotion exam is taking place this early," exclaimed a disciple.
"Yeah, I was surprised when I heard about it. Shouldn't it happen months later?" commented another disciple.
"I bet the serious ones are angry since many of them haven't finished training for the exam," added another disciple.
"Yeah, my friend was about to break through in cultivation, but he had to halt his progress because of the sudden announcement. He was cursing all the elders, and I even heard him cursing the sect leader and the supreme elder in private," said another disciple.
"But does anyone have any idea why this sudden announcement was made?" asked a puzzled disciple.
"I heard it's because of the non-dual cultivation department. It's to please them," said one of the disciples, but most from the dual cultivation department frowned at him.
"Hmph, do you think they're that important? We can easily perform well in the tournament even without them. I don't understand why the sect even needed to allow those ugly bastards into the sect," someone snorted.
"Hehe, not all of them are ugly. Only the jealous ones are ugly because they can't have any beauties, so they envy and loathe us," commented another male disciple.
"Anyway, I heard the main reason is because of the tournament. They want to find talented Outer Court disciples to nurture for it," said another disciple.
"Hmm, that makes sense," said someone from the crowd.
"Anyway, it doesn't matter why the competition was held early as long as I pass the test," said a disciple.

As an important event of the sect, it naturally garnered the attention of the entire Outer Court, including those who were not participating. Not to mention, it also attracted the attention of the Inner Court.
The knockout rounds would be held first, followed by the main qualifying exam later. The qualifying round involved fights between disciples, and a large arena had been erected, complete with seating for spectators to watch the matches.
Countless disciples rushed to occupy seats in the arena to watch the matches. From the sky, one could see a sea of black heads filling the stands.
Among the crowd were four girls who stood out, as they wore attire different from that of the Outer Court disciples. Their presence sparked whispers among the spectators.
"Heavens, that fairy is wearing Core Disciple robes," a disciple whispered in awe and admiration.
"Yeah, and it's not just one," added another disciple.
"Honestly, I'm surprised to see an Inner Court disciple among the crowd this early. They usually don't watch the knockouts. And now, seeing a Core Disciple along with Inner Court disciples feels surreal," remarked another.
The four girls—Ren Xi, Tang Jingling, Lin Xue, and Xue Jiaxin—who had visited Wang Ming a few hours ago, ignored the murmurs as they quietly took their seats.
"When was the last time you guys came to watch the knockout rounds of the Inner Court promotion exam?" Ren Xi asked the girls looking at them curiously.
"Huh, I've never watched the Inner Court promotion exam at all. The last time I was here was when I participated," said Xue Jiaxin with a shrug of her shoulders.
"I only watched the main event, not the knockout rounds, and even that was quite a few years ago," commented Tang Jingling.
"Same. I only came here to see if our investigation of Wang Ming, based on the male disciples' rumors and doubts, is accurate or not," said Lin Xue as she eagerly waited for the contestants to arrive.
When they heard Lin Xue, their thoughts drifted back to a few hours ago.
Flashback
The girls watched as Wang Ming entered the arena alongside Bai Lingxi, Shi Yu, Luo Li, and Shang Rui.
"Are you sure they're at the Golden Core Realm?" Xue Jiaxin asked nervously, not bothering to check their cultivation herself, assuming Outer Court disciples to be below her.
"Yes, they are. Now, let's investigate a bit before we return here," said Ren Xi, to which the girls nodded and left the place.
