"Selene's attainment level is a little low right now. It would have been perfect if she were a level one warrior emperor, but she's only a level five warrior king now," Sheila sighed, reflecting the downcast mood of the entire group.
"A level five warrior king? Did I hear that right? This… This young girl is a level five warrior king? Is her attainment this advanced even though she looks about six or seven years old?" Lorinda exclaimed in astonishment at Selene's extraordinary progress. Selene's ability to achieve such heights at a tender age boded well for her future.
With a pause to collect her thoughts, Lorinda continued, "Selene would be eligible to join the sect if she is a level five warrior king."
Diane was questioned in surprise, "Didn't you mention earlier that the outer disciples must at least be level one warrior emperors? Why wouldn't this apply to Selene?"
Lorinda clarified, "Well, there are other categories of disciples aside from outer disciples. Many participants have set a target to be accepted as outer disciples before taking part in this disciple selection. However, there is one other category known as registered disciples."
"Registered disciple? Are the criteria less stringent for registered disciples then?" Severin asked in confusion.
She pointed to her left and continued, "Registered disciples reside in those buildings over there and train separately from the others. Some who are close to reaching level one warrior emperor might prefer to wait for the next round of recruitment instead of becoming registered disciples. However, sects like the Skyblue Sect have no fixed schedule for recruiting disciples, so it can take anywhere from days to years before the next selection is held. Some candidates think this is better than waiting, so they opt to become registered disciples first."
Severin nodded. "In that case, those who become a registered disciple can immediately make the transition to outer discipleship if they make a breakthrough after joining."
Lorinda snapped her fingers and replied, "Exactly! That's why you see many people lining up over there. The rich spiritual energy here is conducive to attainment, and it'll be easy to make progress on this mountain. Connecting with your fellow disciples, seniors, and peers is incredibly beneficial in this environment. Who wouldn't want to get pointers from their seniors, am I right? You might even get lucky and secure opportunities you wouldn't otherwise have the chance to come across."
