The students of the four martial arts schools in the Middle Pilgrim Land were back in the East Mainland.
Soon enough, they spread the news that the four martial arts schools were going to recruit new members.
Most of them were talented disciples from prominent clans, holy lands, and some top-ranked sects.
Some were from other sects or clans, and the others were independent cultivators without any other affiliations.
Those major schools of the Middle Pilgrim Land only recruited talented cultivators, not taking into account their identity, status, or background––just their cultivation skills.
As long as young cultivators passed the recruitment examination, they would be admitted to the four schools.
Indeed, they treated everyone equally.
Meanwhile, inside the headquarters of the Ji Clan, a number of people assembled in a spacious hall of the grand palace covered by clouds.
"Ha-ha. It's been ten years since you've left the East Mainland, and now you're finally back.
How's school? I bet you have learned a lot for the past years,"
the chief of the Ji Clan said to a young man in white clothes.
"Thanks for your concern. I have made significant progress over the past decade.
Now, I am a first-level student.
Besides, an elder of the school has secretly told me that if I keep up this pace, I will have the chance to become a principal student,"
replied the young man flatly.
Even in front of the chief of the Ji Clan, he acted neither humbly nor obnoxiously.
He stood distinguished and fearless before the chief, unlike his peers.
"What? Henry, you are now the first-level student of the White Tiger School?
You're saying you might become their principal student soon?
Woah! Isn't that great?
You are really a genius!
Once they appoint you as the principal student of the four major schools, you will be a big shot in the entire Divine Continent.
Well done, kid.
You made us really proud,"
the chief gushed in excitement.
"I'm flattered, sir. Without your help, I wouldn't have made it this far," Henry curtly responded.
He was trying to act modestly even though he was a haughty man.
"Ha-ha. You're really an ungrateful child, Henry.
Rest assured. We will give you our full support in the future.
You must become the principal disciple of the White Tiger School so that you can play an essential part in expanding our clan."
The chief of the Ji Clan was evidently so kind and favorable of Henry.
He sounded as if Henry was his biological son and heir.
"Oh, I have been busy talking to you; I have almost forgotten your friends.
Come on, introduce them to me. I can see that all of them are incredible geniuses. I can't wait to know them."
The chief of the Ji Clan rested his eyes on the several young people next to Henry.
It turned out that Henry brought along some companions back in the East Mainland.
"Sir, these are my friends I made in school.
They are all talented disciples from some major sects in the Middle Pilgrim Land,"
Henry courteously declared.
Then he introduced his friends to the chief, mentioning their backgrounds and names.
The chief was shocked after hearing his introduction and glanced at these young men. The look in his eyes showed that he wanted to butter them up.
There were many top, powerful sects with a long history in the Middle Pilgrim Land.
The prominent clans and holy lands in the East Mainland, the West Desert, the South Mountain, and the North Plateau couldn't be at par with those top sects from the Middle Pilgrim Land.
In other words, the Middle Pilgrim Land was the strongest in the entire Divine Continent in terms of martial arts strength.
The other four regions were much weaker compared to the latter.
