"True disciple?" Max asked, a hint of curiosity appearing in his eyes. "I thought the Black Dragon Palace only had outer disciples, inner disciples, and core disciples. What exactly are true disciples?"
Lady Virelia looked at him calmly, clearly expecting the question. "True Disciples are the strongest and most valued disciples of the Black Dragon Palace," she explained in a measured tone. "Whether it is the Black Dragon Palace itself or the Black Dragon Clan as a whole, all available resources are poured into the cultivation and growth of these individuals. They are not treated as ordinary disciples, but as future pillars of the clan."
