Increasing the Standards

After arriving at the Jade Peak, Yuan could already feel an unpleasant atmosphere in the air when he noticed the other disciples staring at him with frowns on their faces.

'They seem unhappy. Did something happen? Or are they just nervous about the examination?' Yuan wondered to himself, completely oblivious that they were angry at him for being on time, as that was completely unreasonable.

And while the other disciples only mumbled to each other, one of them was actually brave enough to approach Yuan and said loudly, "Hey! You! What's your name?!"

"Me? I'm Yuan," he calmly responded.

"Hm? Yuan? Why does that name sound so familiar?" The disciples there wondered when they heard Yuan's name.

"Oh, shit! He's that Outer Court disciple who defeated the Mad Tiger recently!" One of them quickly realized and exclaimed in a surprised voice, shocking the other disciples.
