Of course, within the sect, it's quite common for Direct Disciples to challenge Closed-door Disciples, but the results are always a clear victory for the Closed-door Disciples.
After all, Closed-door Disciples can receive personal teachings from the Hall Master, and the resources they have are unmatched by other disciples.
For a newcomer to challenge a Closed-door Disciple would be laughable for anyone else.

The alchemy duel that will take place three days later has become something many are looking forward to.
If Lin Chen defeats Fang Zhantang, he can become the senior Closed-door Disciple, which makes many secretly exclaim in amazement.
