Chapter 47: power of strength


    Jun Changxiao was too fast, so fast that he had cut Ai Shangkes clothes before the man even realized it. The mans muscles bulged as he trembled with anger.


    The Cold Edge Sword had even snagged a strand of his hair!


    What did that mean?


    It meant that Jun Changxiao could have easily killed him just now.


    Ai Shangke had a strong cultivation base, but it wasnt strong enough for his mortal body to contend with a sharp sword.


    Jun Changxiao was not weak, so his high-speed movements allowed him to y with his opponent.


    Ai Shangke motionlessly stood in his undergarments, forehead dripping with cold sweat and pupils dted in fear.


    A strand of hair had been instantaneously sliced off, making him feel an aura of death. Terrifying!


    If the opposite party had a more murderous heart, he would have been decapitated already.


    The more he thought, the more fearful he felt. In the end, his grip around the inscribed sword loosened and it ttered to the ground.


    Hey, Jun Changxiao said. Still going to fight?


    Ai Shangke hurriedly sped his hands together in a panic, No Not going to fight anymore!


    [Ding! Side missionplete! Host has obtained 50 contribution points.]


    [Ding! Sect Contribution: 74/100.]


    Fifty points?


    The system replied, [The Ai Family Elder had a cultivation of 5th Stage Martial Apprentice. The host has beaten him and will naturally be highly rewarded.]


    Jun Changxiao secretly thought, <em>So it turns out he was a 5th Stage Martial Apprentice.</em>


    The realms after Meridian Opening had finer level distinctions. From low to high were the 1st to 9th stages, and after the 9th stage was peak.


    For example, the Azure Mountain Sect had sent Elder Ma, who had the strength of Peak Martial Master, just a step away from breaking through to Martial Ancestor. Another example was the ck Winds bandit chief, who was a 2nd Stage Martial Apprentice.


    The Ai n was not a traditional martial arts aristocratic family, as it primarily focused on alchemy in Huyang City. For Ai Shangke to be a 5th Stage Martial Apprentice was already very good.


    Elder Ai, Jun Changxiao said. You should have some spare clothes in your storage ring right, right?


    Now that Ai Shangke had calmed down, he realized that he was practically naked. His face immediately flushed and he quickly took out some clothes and picked up his sword. Cupping his fists he said, Many thanks to Sect Head Jun for his mercy.


    The arrogant and contemptuous air had disappeared.


    Jun Changxiao said, Elder Ai, my disciple stole your familys pills. As sect head, this is my fault.


    With the side missionpleted and contribution points sessfully obtained, he needed to ease the atmosphere. After all, the sect was still developing and it was best not to create enemies everywhere.


    But, continued Jun Changxiao. My disciple was beaten half to death by Young Master Ai. To this Lord, it is best to overlook these matters.


    Now that the victor had taken the initiative to make peace, it gave Ai Shangke the opportunity to back down without losing face. Young people are full of vigor, fighting is very normal. My Ai Family will not pursue this matter.


    Ai Shangkes attitude had immediately changed  this was a showcase of the power in strength.


    Jun Changxiao smiled. Elder Ai has visited from far away but this Lord has not been a good host. Please go sit in the Main Hall.


    The mans clothes had even been shredded, how could he have the face to stay?


    Ai Shangke humble declined. This Ai has other matters to attend to and will visit on another day.


    Jun Changxiao did not say anything more and personally apanied the man to the sect gates. Elder Ai, this Lord will see you off here.


    Goodbye!


    Ai Shangke left.


    However, as he descended the mountain path, he was still shaken. I didnt expect the Ironbone Sects leader to be a hidden master. I must go back and tell the patriarch not to provoke him.


    With Jun Changxiaos horrifying speed, killing Martial Masters was probably also easy!


    Sect Head, you are really awesome!


    That Phantom Step disyed a moment ago is simply wonderful!


    Sect Head, isnt this just like the Tendon Altering Sutra, belonging to the divine-grade skills?


    When Jun Changxiao returned, the disciples crowded around him. Thinking of how he had oppressed Elder Hai, they became staunch believers in their sect leaders strength.


    Jun Changxiao said, Cultivate well. Later on, this type of step technique will also be passed on.


    Wah, Sect Head will pass the Phantom Step to us?


    I must cultivate hard and be strong, I cannot disappoint Sect Head!


    Go, go! Go cultivate!


    The disciples hurriedly surged through the training ground, feeling their blood boil with determination.


    Even if an outside came to win them over, they wouldnt betray the Ironbone Sect for a higher grade sect.


    This was what Jun Changxiao was happiest to see, since he did not care about the disciples aptitude but their loyalty to the sect.


    In the Main Hall.


    Jun Changxiao sat upon his seat,zing about. Gained 50 contribution points, I feel refreshed.


    [Ding! Su Xiaomo has found the lost Little Huang, sect missionplete!]


    [Ding!]


    [Sect Achievement: 2/100.]


    [Sect Contribution: 76/100.]


    After hearing the system prompts, Jun Changxiaos expression became even brighter. Very good, very good! This Lord did not misread the person!


    [Ding! A sect mission has beenpleted, opening Disciple Contribution functions.]


    Disciples have contribution points too?


    He opened the system interface and saw that there was another function under the [Sect Members: 100/100] panel and clicked on the details.


    The panel opened.


    A small screen appeared.


    It listed the names of all the disciples and after Su Xiaomos name was written the words 2 contribution points.


    Jun Changxiao asked, What does that mean?


    The system responded, [Disciples canplete sect missions to obtain the corresponding number of contribution points. The host can use them to purchase items in the system store.]


    Jun Changxiao heard this and was practically humping with joy. Theres even this good thing!


    He got points if hepleted missions himself and when his disciplespleted missions, wasnt this equal to double the profit?


    Then the system said: [Disciple contribution points can only be used by the disciple. The host can only help the disciple buy the items.]


    Hearing this, Sect Head Jun froze before copsing into his seat. Please, I beg of you, finish your sentence next time!


    [Okay], agreed the system.


    Jun Changxiao suddenly had a question. Do you mean that the system store can be used by both the disciples and I?


    [It is not universal], said the system. [Disciples have a disciple-specific store. The host can ess the items list through the main store panel.]


    Jun Changxiao hurriedly opened the store interface and sure enough, he saw that under the low-grade items list was a disciple-only list.


    Upon checking the list, he discovered that there was arge array of items, which were mostly low-grade or below low-grade. All the items were basically only 1 contribution point too.


    Fuck! Jun Changxiao copsed once more. Why are the items in the disciple-only list so much cheaper?


    The system said: [Because you are the host. There are many ways for you to get contribution points, but disciples can onlyplete sect missions.]


    So its like this


    Jun Changxiao understood.


    Randomly clicking on an item and reading the description, the item was not very extraordinary. Compared to the items on his own list, the difference was substantial.


    The system added: [The products on the disciple-only list are mostly for assistance, but the hosts items are all-epassing.]
