“Oh ho~ Look who it is! You finally decided to grace us plebs with your presence. So? How did it go?”

A man with a beard, who was drinking wildly with 3 of his friends, spoke out loud with a big smile on his face.

“Tsk, don’t even ask.”

The man who walked towards the table of 4 snorted as he sat down and ordered another glass of beer.

“Hm? Why? What happened?” The bearded man questioned.

“The line was so big that I didn’t even get a turn.”

“Huh? But wasn’t it mentioned before that only Emperors or stronger cultivators were allowed?” Another person who was sitting on the table questioned.

“That is correct.” The man nodded his head.

“Then why was the line so big?”

“Tsk, all those bastards were Emperor Stage Cultivators as well. There were more than 500 of them.”

“Haah!? Is that even possible!?”

“How ignorant. You think that Clan is like any other new Clan? Even our Rudra here left his Middle-Level Clan to go and join them.”

The bearded man spoke as he patted the back of the man who recently joined them.

“But didn’t people say their restriction of Emperors and above was absurd and no one would join them?”

“You really aren’t up to date, are you?”

The bearded man snorted.

Then, he started,

“They destroyed the Destiny…”

Again, the story that has been a hot topic since yesterday was recounted.

Those who didn’t know listened carefully, and those who knew still listened, the story was just because that awespiring.

People could not get enough.

“To… To think they won a 100 vs 13…”

“Haa! ExceedoGenesis is not a normal Clan, they are way too strong.

It is even said that if you join them, your future is safe for sure since they would only grow stronger and stronger from this point.

There are many who want to join them at an early stage where they need members right now because after this, joining them would get harder and harder.”

The bearded man spoke, however, Rudra, the man who returned from the Member selection snorted,

“Hmph! Easy to join them my ass! They aren’t acting like a new Clan at all!

There are more than 500 Emperors standing in front of their Base, any new clan would die to recruit all of them!

But those people are way too selective!

They don’t look like a clan that lacks members at all!”

Rudra spoke with a frustrated look on his face.

“What do you mean?” The bearded man frowned.

“Do you know the condition to join that clan?”

“Signing the Loyalty Contract?”

The bearded man guessed.

“Tsk, if only it was that simple!

The Sword Girl is sparring with all the interested people on herself!

Only the ones she deems worthy are allowed to join the Clan, the rest are all turned back.”

“What!? The condition to join ExceedoGenesis is to defeat the Sword Girl!?”

The bearded man shouted in shock.

By now, other cultivators sitting inside the Inn were interested in this conversation as well.

“Of course not! The Sword Girl can defeat Sages, how can Emperors like us defeat her? If that was the condition, no one would have been selected.

The condition is not to defeat her but to put on a decent fight against her.

As I said before, only people she deems worthy get to join the clan.

Of course, don’t think that this makes it any simple either.

Just today alone, she fought against more than 100 Emperor Stage Cultivators, and only selected 7 of them.”

“7 out of 100…”

The bearded man was surprised.

“W-Wait… she fought against 100 cultivators all on her own?”

“She did.”

“Just what kind of monster is she!?”

“Haahh… I don’t even want to talk about it…” Rudra sighed, then, a small smile appeared on his face as he blushed,

“But I have to say…

Sword Girl, and the other women of the Clan… they really are too beautiful. I got to see 4 of them today and I must say, even though I didn’t get my turn today, just seeing the 4 of them made it worth it.”

“Hahaha~ I agree with you, those women are too beautiful!”

“Beautiful? They are goddesses! They are not someone we people can understand.”

“I agree. I agree. All of them are definitely from a different world.”

“Tsk, I wonder how many perverts are there amongst you 500 Emperors who want to join ExceedoGenesis.” Another man snorted.

“Oh trust me, there are a lot!”

Rudra snorted as well.

“Especially those thirsty women. They all left their clans so they can join ExceedoGenesis just because of the Clan Leader.”

“Nux Leander huh…”

“Women are crazy over him…”

“Tsk, they even call him the most handsome man in the entire world.”

“Haahh… how absurd… they haven’t even seen all the men in the world! Their worldview is too narrow.”

The men in the room sighed.

As for the women… they just raised their eyebrows.

These men… they were the same people who were just drooling over how beautiful the women of ExceedoGenesis are…

Tsk, hypocrites!

The women snorted in their heads.

*Clank*

Suddenly, the door of the inn opened and suddenly, another person walked in.

Seeing him, the lively inn turned silent.

And then,

“Hey, isn’t he one of them?”

Someone questioned.

“The Blacklisted!”

Another one shouted as he pointed at the man who had just entered the inn.

The man, who was wearing a mask couldn’t believe that he was recognized even after wearing this. Without saying anything, he quickly turned around and walked away from the Inn.

“Hahahaha~ That unlucky bastard! Look at him running away!”

He could hear the people cursing and laughing at him.

He clenched his fists in anger, however, there was nothing he could do.

He could only helplessly remember that black-hearted woman who was responsible for what is happening to him.

‘I need to remember their faces,

ExceedoGenesis does not need cowards.

They would not be allowed to join ExceedoGenesis in the future.’

That woman wasn’t lying when she said those words, heck, she was actually pretty damn serious about this.

She really memorized more than 100 faces within that short time, and when people visited the ExceedoGenesis for recruitment,

They could see it.

128 pictures pasted on a giant board.

‘Blacklisted from the selection.

Do not waste yours and our time.’

The Blacklisted.

This… it had become the shame that has been haunting him since yesterday…

This Blacklist… it was not just the ExceedoGenesis they were blacklisted from.

With the ExceedoGenesis putting up that huge board with their faces on it, the other Clans didn’t take them in either.

None of the Clans wanted to take in someone the ExceedoGenesis rejected.

There was no reason to take in others’ trash, especially when that ‘others’ is a new clan. No clan was willing to harm their reputation by doing something foolish.

This Blacklist… it was no different than a Black Mark that pushed him away and made a mockery out of him everywhere he went.

His social status, his power, his influence, this Blacklisted tag took it all away…

That Black Haired woman… behind that beautiful face, she hid a nasty, vicious personality…
