Becoming God Of A Dystopian Worldchapter 143: ancient battle & the other rules

"It's because...of the battle that took place in the ancient times. It was a battle between humans and the beast kins. The ancestors of the two families, Mo and Feng, fought alongside the ancestors of the Xin Family. The three ancestors and the martial cultivators under them pushed back the beast kin and defended this Range till their last breath. Thus the three Royal families came to being."

Feng Ma told everyone an ancient story that was kept in pieces in the deep vaults of these Royal Families.

Zhao Luo was hearing this story with wide eyes.

"Such a battle had taken place here."

Zhao Luo spoke with a wavering tone.

"Indeed, nobody has seen it. But now the World has changed and we don't know where the beast kins are hiding and when such a catastrophic event will repeat itself."

Feng Ma said with a troubled look.

"Don't worry, aren't we all training with everything we got? Let the beasts come, we will annihilate them."

Si Chen was the one to show such confidence.

After his battles with the Sand Lions in the Sara Desert, his mental capability has increased by many notches.

"Yes. Well, moving to the rules, I will let Senior continue them."

Feng Ma pointed his hand at Senior Cutie who had been marveling at Zhao Luo's handsome face.

Feeling interrupted, he glared at Feng Ma and then started to tell about the rules.

"There may be many rules, but none of them stops a disciple from getting stronger. While the inner disciple looking over our Sect is on a secondary mission, the Junior Elder and I will be taking care of things. As for the reason I told you the first rule, it's to assure you that even if the King of the Mo family comes here, you don't have to be worried."

Senior Cutie first explained about the ones who were looking over the Outer Hall in the absence of the inner disciple who had taken this mission of overseeing the Outer Disciples.

"Except that, the rules you need to remember are, [Don't take anyone's life unless both parties have previously agreed to a 'dead end'], [Disrespecting the elders is not allowed as they are the main pillars of the Sect], [All the fights are to take place in the Training areas and zones], [Outer Disciples are not allowed to leave the Outer Hall unless it's for a mission or a call from the Elder's hall], that will be it. There are other rules too, but they aren't important. But if you break any of these rules, you can get expelled or in extreme cases, get killed."

"Why killed?"

Zhao Luo asked Senior Cutie cause getting killed for simply disrespecting an elder was too much.

'Did I solve those riddles too easily?'

Zhao Luo wondered what he would do if Elder Dousan, the second elder who was also known as the Master of Riddles, came back for revenge.

'He isn't like that.'

'But what if...'

Zhao Luo thought anxiously.

"Leaving the outer hall won't get you killed, but something like disrespecting the elder to a no redemption point may end up in a death sentence. Since the elders are not only elders in name, they teach the inner disciples and also tag along with the inner disciples on many missions that they are unable to complete on their own, basically giving protection to their disciples while also guiding the untalented ones, personally, so they don't fall behind their peers. Each Elder is very respected by disciples so if you are disrespectful to one then you are just making enemies with hundreds of disciples so before the Sect punishes you, the wrath of the disciples will be worse of a punishment."

Senior Cutie explained with a darkened look.

"You don't have to go to that extreme just to explain as I am not a person who would disrespect my elders."

Zhao Luo shook his hand while telling about his respectful character.

'There is no way I would ever do that.'

Zhao Luo nodded as he made himself remember so that he never disrespects any elder.

"I know. Little Brother is kind just like a flower. He would never be rude to anyone without a purpose."

Senior Cutie added while making Zhao Luo feel uncomfortable.

"Yes, yes. Well, I think you should go."

Zhao Luo told Senior Cutie as it was getting harder to take on these clever advances by Senior Cutie.

"Not yet. There is still one last thing that you need to know."

Senior Cutie shook his index finger as there was still more, that Zhao Luo needed to know.

"What is that?"

Zhao Luo asked curiously.

'What could be left that I still need to know?'

Zhao Luo couldn't help but think while waiting for Senior Cutie's answer.

"It's that the ranking tournament of the outer disciples will be open to the general public. Since it's an event that only happens once in two years, and every outer disciple, no matter which family they are from participates in it, thus it makes a good show for the audience, that is, their families."

"Then, the people of the Mo family will be there too?"

"Yes, they will be. Are you scared?"

Senior Cutie asked Zhao Luo who had just questioned him.

"No. This will be a chance for me to show them my strength."

Zhao Luo looked confident as he clenched his fist and thought of his plan.

"Yes, there will be some senior elders coming to the tournament too so it's a good chance to catch their eyes."

Senior Cutie nodded as the ranking tournament of the outer disciples was always a big event that attracted the big names of the sect.

"What about the ten elders?"

Zhao Luo asked as he wondered if the Second Elder and the third elder will be coming to this tournament.

"No way, they have never attended the outer disciples ranking tournament. The big names I was talking about were the high-level Junior and Senior Elders of the inner hall. Also some of our amazing Seniors."

Senior Cutie shook his head as he rejected Zhao Luo's hopes of seeing the Second Elder again.

"I see."

Zhao Luo said dejectedly.
