The tall young man from Wang Clan said, "Supervisor, I am an inner disciple of Cloud Sect and not a participant in the Blooded Test.
"Inner disciple?" Joshua asked, "Which peak do you belong to?"
"I am from the Skytop Peak, examiner," responded the tall young man.
"Hmm, Master Xu of Skytop Peak is here too. Since you are an inner disciple, the punishment is that one hundred points will be deducted from the peak!" declared Joshua.
There was a smile on the tall young man's face, and he looked relaxed. As everyone knew, one hundred points was a lot to the helpless grassroots, but for the noble clan disciples, it was nothing. Such a punishment was meaningless to him.
They might have lost a hundred points, but Zen would be kicked out of the Cloud Sect, which was precisely what they wanted.
More than one thousand students stood there, looking angry about the unjust decision. This punishment was close to no punishment at all. Joshua was helping the influential.
At that moment, all thirty-three peak masters in the Cloud Sect arrived on flying chariots.
After the students passed the Blooded Test, each master would pick students who met their requirements. They would choose the right talents for their folds, based on the performances and examination results of the students.
To have better development of their respective peaks, each master followed the principles of selecting the best students for their peaks.
Of course, Zen understood how bad his situation was. Joshua was obviously on the side of the noble clans. But, he continued to think that he didn't want to miss out on his life for something he had no control over. He argued, "Examiner, I wasn't the one who started the fight. You have to believe me. Everyone here saw it. I was forced into the fight. It's unfair to disqualify me from the competition arbitrarily like this!"
"It's not fair? Now then, tell me, were you fighting?" Joshua had no expression as he asked.
"Yes," Zen responded honestly. He did fight, but, he was forced into it. If he hadn't, he would be dead now.
"Okay then, we're all set! You don't need to say anymore. Just hand over your disciple card! And afterward, leave the Cloud Sect!" stated Joshua as he extended his large hand for Zen to hand over his disciple card.
Zen took two steps back and in a positive tone said, "Examiner, it is unfair to punish me like this. I refuse to accept it, and I think there are more than one thousand students present who also refuse to accept it!"
Joshua did not expect a humble temporary disciple would dare to speak to him like that, let alone question him. Who did he think he was talking to? Joshua raged. "How dare you!"
Angered, he raised his hand to slap Zen.
Although Joshua didn't use any internal strength or skills on his hand, the force alone was enough to severely hurt Zen because Joshua had been at the nature level for many years, and his strength had surpassed the physical limit. One could imagine how destructive his hand was.
Facing the possible force of Joshua's hand frightened Zen, even if his body was a mysterious weapon, and would offset some of the power from the examiner, he was not indestructible. The strength of Joshua's hand was beyond what his body could bear. If he were hit, Zen would be seriously injured.
