52 Chapter 52: What if I beat you? (1/2)
The recruitment hall was quite vast. Yun Che and Retsu was following Yuanba to nearby test zone. Since there are so many people wanted to take the test, the palace have to open up more like a dozen test counters to speed up the process. They are instructed to sit in the arena waiting for their turn to take the test. Yun Che and Retsu were conversing with Yuanba learning about the palace. They just wanted to know the basic since their stay until the banquet. Might as well learning some random knowledge while at it.
”Brother in law, Miss Retsu is actually your fiancée?” She was quite shocked after learning this information. It was only a year since he was married to his sister. To think he actually had a fiancee.
”Hmmm, we're engaged way back. But don't worry, your sister still has a place in my heart.” He replied wholeheartedly.
”Well, can't blame you anyway brother in law. Sister was always the cold one. I spend years trying to make her open up but it simply doesn't work.” He sighs remember his past. Yun Che was his only friend back then.
”Don't worry about it Yuanba. She still your sister and my wife. She has a lot going on in her mind. One day, she'll opened up to you.”
”So it means I can call you 'sister in law' now. Miss Retsu?” Yuanba just smiled after being consoled by him. Retsu however was blushing madly radiating her beauty to the surrounding. She immediately holds Yun Che's arm and hide her face behind it. She was not yet married but she was already sister in law in Yuanba's eyes.
”She won't mind. But don't call her too often or you're make her head explode.” He said to Yuanba. Earning a small nod from Retsu, who is currently overheating at the moment.
”Wow, such beauty. This is the first time this young master has laid his eyes on a beauty.”
Yun Che, Yuanba and Retsu turned their head to one of the disciples walking towards them followed by his lackeys.
”Hey, beauty. Why don't you ditch them and come to my banner? This young master will ensure you have a place as a disciple in this palace.”
Retsu immediately regained her composure as the smiling demon 'Unohana Retsu' once more. She looked at these stuck up bastards as if they were filth and flies buzzing near her.
”Hmph, You're an eyesore. Get out of my sight.” She said with a stoic face underneath the veil.
”You…..this young master is asking nicely and this is how you treat me. Do YOU KNOW WHO I AM?” His shouting alert the surrounding people into looking at them.
”No, that's why I told you to get out of my sight.”
”You…” He was about to teach them a lesson but he felt a hand suddenly stopped him from moving.
”Elder Han?”
What did I tell you about harming the recruits? Do you want to be severely punished by the hall?
”Cheee, this isn't over. Bitch.” He said while walking away with his lackeys towards the exit.
”My apologies, he is one the elder's grandson and he's always the one causing trouble in the palace. By the way, I am Sikong Han. The elder of the New Moon Profound Palace.”
”That guy doesn't know who is he actually offend. No worries. He'll get his share one day.” Yun Che said while looking at the retreating back of the stuck up brat.
”Its better if you don't. The elder backing him is quite powerful. That's why he was able to cause trouble anywhere in the palace.” Elder Sikong Han warned him.
”By the way, nice to meet you Elder Han. If you don't come, who knows what happen to that guy.” Yun Che expressed his thanks towards the Elder.
”It is my responsibility to have this place protected. Good luck on the following test” The elder cupped his hands before making his way towards the exit.
”B..brother in law, that's Elder Sikong Han. One of the supreme elders of the New Moon Profound Palace. To think that he protected you and sister in law.” Yuanba observed from behind him but he was shocked when Elder Han protected them.
”Who's that stuck up brat just now?” Retsu asked him.
”That's young master Wu Ya, he is the grandson of Supreme Elder Wu Nie. That guy always cause trouble to the New Moon Profound Palace. Every mistake made is pardoned by the palace because the disciplinary is controlled by Elder Wu Nie.”
”Hooo, what is the cultivation of that Wu Nie?” Yun Che asked him.
”He is only the Second Level of Earth Profound Realm. Elder Sikong Han is on the First Level. That's why he was not able to offend Elder Wu Nie.” Yuanba explained the whole situation of the New Moon Profound Palace to him.
Yun Che immediately rub the bridge of his nose. That's it? That's the cultivation they feared? Retsu and him able pulverize that elder without using their Zanpakutos. To think that stuck up has his own backer. He felt Retsu was back to her usual self. She was the type of handling situation well and attack if the situation occurs. He didn't need to worry about her getting even. But if she met that guy somewhere in a fight, that guy will not have a decent ending.
Yun Che and Retsu were led by Yuanba to the test area. He waited outside while both of them take the test. The test was relatively simple as they just place their hand on the age measuring orb. The orb identifies Yun Che as 18 years old and Retsu was 19 years old. Good thing she was rebirth as 18 years old back then or the orb will identify her as 1000 plus year old lady.
The second test was a bit annoying though. The test was a simple punching orb. The recruits will use their full strength to punch the orb and the orb will reveal the numbers of the current strength. From 100 points being the first level of Nascent to 1000 points being the Peak of Nascent. Most of the stuck up young masters were proud of themselves after reaching fourth or fifth level of Nascent Profound Realm. Claiming themselves to be geniuses. He and Retsu sigh in annoyance because they have to see this for almost a few times before their turn.
Using the system's Fake Aura Shroud, they fixed their aura around Peak of Nascent Profound Realm. The reason was their reaitsu and Spirit Force will make their cultivation unknown by the Profound Orb. So to play nice, they have their aura fixed at that while concealing their real strength. They will cause an uproar if they revealed their true strength. However....
”Retsu, punch the orb lightly. Our aura maybe at peak of Nascent but our strength isn't suppressed. Just punch it lightly.”
