Divine Sword Hall.
A dozen or so Peak Master Elders who stayed behind gathered together, mainly to discuss the upcoming recruitment plan for new Inner Sect Disciples.
Due to the Divine Sword Sect incurring significant losses in the rebellion-suppressing war over the past year, it was necessary to increase the usual recruitment quota.
In fact, the standards for the entrance examination had already been lowered last year, and more Inner Sect Disciples were recruited.
"Sect Leader, I believe we need to at least double the recruitment this time."
Xuanyang Peak Master Murong Hai said.
He was only promoted to Peak Master from True Inheritor after the Jade Capital rebellion.
"With an increase in numbers, the cultivation resources might not be sufficient."
An elder expressed his concern.
To support the Night King Mansion in suppressing the rebellion... a large amount of the Divine Sword Sect’s cultivation resources had been sent to the front lines, causing a reduction in resource supplies within the sect.
Doubling the recruitment of new Inner Sect Disciples would undoubtedly have an impact.
"How much resources can new Inner Sect Disciples actually consume? We can just economize a bit on our side... The new Inner Sect Disciples are the foundation of our Divine Sword Sect. This time, we must expand the recruitment, and we must also increase the scope of recruitment to raise the proportion of common born disciples."
A senior elder couldn’t help but speak out.
The sources for recruiting Inner Sect Disciples are primarily from three sources: the first includes Martial Artists above the Innate level, all having recommendation spots, and even those with slightly lesser aptitude can become Inner Sect Disciples.
The second source is the Martial Arts forces established by former Inner Sect Disciples of Divine Sword Sect, who choose to send their outstanding descendants to Divine Sword Sect.
The third source is common born disciples.
The latter two must participate in strict assessments.
However... the second source mostly has a foundation in martial arts, giving it a more obvious advantage.
Common born disciples, under the same root bone talents, find it hard to stand out, and even if they become Inner Sect Disciples, they often lag behind the other disciples.
Unless they truly possess excellent root bone talent and comprehension...
That’s why, among Martial Artists of Divine Sword Sect who are above the Innate level, over eighty percent come from the former two sources.
Only less than twenty percent of the experts come from common born families.
This situation becomes even more apparent at the elder-level and above.
The senior elder speaking currently comes from a commoner background.
He has always advocated increasing the proportion of common born disciples.
But being of little influence, his propositions had never been accepted by the sect.
This time, he felt it was a good opportunity.
After all, Divine Sword Sect had suffered significant losses, and the first two sources were essentially fixed. Recruiting more would only mean lowering the standards.
If they increase the proportion of commoners, that would be different.
The population of commoners is very large.
As long as Divine Sword Sect takes the initiative to conduct recruitment promotions in the various villages and towns below, they will surely find a batch of good martial arts talents.
