The senior brother chuckled, "It's almost like the more useless you are, the more Senior Sister Qin Yu likes you. Half a year ago, I was lucky enough to join Senior Sister Qin Yu's team. I didn't do anything but handle the spoils, and after one mission, I earned fifty thousand copper coins!"

"No wonder these people are fighting so fiercely!"

Lu Ren smiled and then pointed at the two people behind Qin Yu, asking, "Senior Brother, are those two really that useless? How did they get chosen by Senior Sister Qin Yu?"

"More than useless. Even though they both have Fourth-Grade Bloodlines, they lack ambition. After more than a year in the sect, they've only opened two Spirit Apertures. One is called Wang Teng, and the other is Zhang Sheng. They're known as the 'Entry-Level Double Useless' in the Azure Cloud Sect!"

The senior brother explained.

"Entry-Level Double Useless?"

Lu Ren chuckled, then glanced at Qin Yu.

One had to admit, Qin Yu was extremely beautiful, her looks not losing out to his master, but she was proud like a peacock, seemingly dismissive of everyone.

"I'm looking for true deadweights. If any of you think you can match these two, you can join my team!"

Qin Yu interrupted the crowd.

For a moment, many people looked at each other.

Who could be more useless than these two?

Wang Teng and Zhang Sheng were famously the double useless of the Azure Cloud Sect.

At this moment, a young man with a sly look stepped forward and said with a smile, "Senior Sister Qin Yu, although I've opened one more Spirit Aperture than the double useless, I've only practiced one low-grade Mortal Rank martial technique!"

"You've only practiced one low-grade Mortal Rank martial technique?"

Qin Yu was somewhat incredulous.

These older disciples had been in the Azure Cloud Sect for at least a year, and only practicing one low-grade Mortal Rank martial technique was indeed quite useless.

The young man said proudly, "Training is so hard. If it weren't for my father begging the sect elders to keep me, I would have gone home to inherit the family fortune long ago. This time, I just wanted to admire Senior Sister's elegance!"

"I didn't expect you to be so useless. You win. The title of the third most useless in Azure Cloud is yours!"

"Damn it, if I had known, I wouldn't have practiced martial techniques at all!"

Many martial artists were quite unwilling.

After all, joining Qin Yu's team meant gaining spoils, which could be exchanged for a large amount of copper coins.

Who wouldn't want to earn money while lying down?

Moreover, following Senior Sister Qin Yu for training was considered a good deal.

The young man with the sly look swept his gaze across the crowd and said with a smug smile, "Sorry, everyone, the last spot is..."

However, before he could finish, a calm voice came from the crowd, "I'll take that spot!"

Lu Ren parted the crowd and walked into the circle.

Someone who thought they were even more useless?

Everyone was surprised and turned their eyes to Lu Ren, finding him somewhat unfamiliar.

The young man impatiently stared at Lu Ren and said, "You must be a new disciple, just starting your training. How can you compare with me in uselessness?"

Lu Ren smiled and said, "Do we need to compare training to compare uselessness?"

"Of course, if you can really be like me and only practice one low-grade Mortal Rank martial technique, I have nothing to say!"

The young man said coldly, "You've just started training, you're not useless yet. I've been useless for over a year now. Even if I train hard, I can't catch up with my peers. I'm a complete waste."

Lu Ren confidently smiled and said disdainfully, "I have a Trash-Grade Bloodline. You want to compare uselessness with me?"

"What? Trash-Grade Bloodline? Are you Lu Ren, the one taken as a disciple by the Saintess?"

The young man was shocked, and the older disciples around the circle were equally surprised.

They couldn't believe that the new disciple in front of them was actually Lu Ren.

The legendary once-in-a-lifetime trash, with a Trash-Grade Bloodline.

How could anyone be more useless than a Trash-Grade Bloodline?

Search "pawℝead.com" for the original.

In front of Lu Ren, the Entry-Level Double Useless were nothing!

Qin Yu looked at Lu Ren's smug smile with disdain. Although she formed a team with three useless people to hone her combat skills, she looked down on martial artists who took pride in their uselessness.

"The last spot is yours!"

Qin Yu said indifferently.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Qin Yu!"

Lu Ren cupped his hands.

As a complete newcomer, unfamiliar with the place, joining Qin Yu's team was the best way to gain experience.

"Gather at the mountain gate tomorrow morning!"

Qin Yu left a sentence and turned to leave.

Wang Teng walked up to Lu Ren and laughed wildly, "Hahaha, I, Wang Teng, can finally shake off the title of double useless!"

Zhang Sheng, standing nearby, said coldly, "Wang Teng, if you want to shake off the double useless title, you have to beat me first!"

"Alright, let's fight. Whoever loses will be double useless with Junior Brother Lu Ren!"

Wang Teng rolled up his sleeves, his face flushed, and immediately started wrestling with Zhang Sheng.

The other disciples watching this scene were speechless.

Originally, these two inherited the double useless title and could coexist peacefully. Now, with someone even more useless, the balance was broken, and both wanted to shake off the title.

Lu Ren, with his Trash-Grade Bloodline, successfully joined Qin Yu's team with an absolute advantage, making many disciples envious.

But most of the older disciples scoffed at Lu Ren joining Qin Yu's team.

Joining Qin Yu's team wasn't an honor, but a disgrace.

Training was meant to improve one's combat skills, not to hang around strong people and collect spoils.

...

Inside the Azure Cloud Sect's Inner Elder Pavilion.

The Great Elder sought out Yun Qingyao alone and asked, "Elder Yun, how is Lu Ren's training progressing recently?"

Yun Qingyao replied guiltily, "It's going well!"

"I heard from the elder in charge of the pavilion that after Lu Ren successfully opened his apertures, he didn't borrow any high-grade Mortal Rank martial techniques but exchanged for three low-grade ones, only to return them after a month. Is this true?"

The Great Elder continued to ask.

Listening to the Great Elder's words, Yun Qingyao felt troubled but forced herself to defend, "My disciple trains very hard, but his talent is too weak. He couldn't master any of the three martial techniques, so he gave up!"

"I see!"

The Great Elder nodded, sighing, "I didn't expect a Trash-Grade Bloodline to be so daunting. With less than half a month left, are you confident he can open seven Spirit Apertures?"

He believed in Yun Qingyao's talent but not in Lu Ren's. A Trash-Grade Bloodline was unprecedented.

"Great Elder, my self-created sword technique has reached the power of a high-grade Mortal Rank. Even if my disciple's talent is weak, I can teach him!"

Yun Qingyao declared confidently.

"The Sect Master's intention is not for Lu Ren to surpass the disciples of the Imperial Dao Sect, but to show them that our Azure Cloud Sect can cultivate a Trash-Grade Bloodline. Don't let the Sect Master down!"

The Great Elder advised earnestly and then left.

Yun Qingyao stayed alone in the Elder Pavilion, muttering to herself, "Perhaps Lu Ren really gave up training because his talent is too weak. He's probably feeling hopeless and needs someone to pull him up. As his master, I should help him now, be a ray of light in his darkness!"

The more Yun Qingyao thought, the more guilty she felt. As Lu Ren's master, she should be the one to help him now.

A Trash-Grade Bloodline managing to open apertures was already difficult. Advancing further wouldn't be easy.

With this in mind, Yun Qingyao regained her composure, leaped into the air, and headed towards Lu Ren's courtyard.

When she arrived, she found it empty. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Xiao Huohuo returning.

Seeing Yun Qingyao, Xiao Huohuo immediately stepped forward and greeted, "Disciple Xiao Huohuo greets the Saintess!"

"In the sect, just call me Elder Yun. Where is Lu Ren?"

Yun Qingyao asked.

Xiao Huohuo replied, "Junior Brother Lu Ren joined Senior Sister Qin Yu's team with the Entry-Level Double Useless to do a mission!"

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyao was furious.

She knew Qin Yu, the most talented entry-level disciple of the previous generation, with a Sixth-Grade Bloodline.

Qin Yu, confident in her extraordinary talent, only took weak disciples on missions to hone her combat skills.

Although Lu Ren had a Trash-Grade Bloodline, he was her disciple. Joining Qin Yu with the Entry-Level Double Useless was a disgrace to Yun Qingyao.

Having a Trash-Grade Bloodline was fine, but one must have dignity.

How did I, Yun Qingyao, end up with such a hopeless disciple?

How could he participate in the sparring exchange conference like this?
