The division of the disciples in the tyrant's blade school was similar to the cultivation world. They were divided into honorary disciples, service disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples, core disciples, and the core disciples.
There was no need to mention the in-name disciples. There were no in-name disciples in the true spirit world. The in-name disciples of the true spirit world were all in the leaping Dragon World. They were the lower realm cultivators who were being investigated.
No matter which sect it was, there were service disciples. These disciples were of very low ranks. Rather than being called disciples, it was better to say that they were servants of various sects. They did the lowest work in the various sects just so that one day they could become outer or inner sect disciples.
