Chapter 103: First Round (1/2)
”Hmph I don't want to be involved in this messy matter but because the agreement is already made, obviously both of them couldn't take their words and the sect's integrity won't be violated. I got no choice, I'll preside over this matter,” Elder Lan harrumphed 'indignantly'.
Everybody present forced their laugh inside their heart.
'Who is this old girl trying to fool,'
The image of a cool seductress from before easily crumbled and changed into an immature overaged girl.
There were also some people who looked at her even more affectionately. The young boy who asked the question to her was one of those people. He looked at Elder Lan with an infatuated gaze, iron out his mind to get the place in this selection and become the disciple of this childish elder to get closer to her.
”We have wasted so much time here, let's continue the examination. All the examinee stay in the line and wait for your name called,” said Elder Lan.
One by one the examinee got, in turn, to be examined by placing their hand on three crystals that carefully inspected their bone age, constitution, and bloodline.
Although the constitution checker crystal and bloodline checker crystal couldn't specify their results, it was enough to determine the rank of each aspect.
The crystals would shine in different colors which indicated different ranks: Yellow for a mortal grade, Green for a profound grade, Blue for Earth grade, and Red for Heaven grade.
If their bone age met the requirement. Their talent will be examined using the Sword Gate which has a total of 7 stars that would light up responding to their talent.
”Li Ergou, 25 years old, mortal-rank constitution, mortal-rank bloodline, 1-star talent, failed!
”Mo Fan, 20 years old, profound-rank constitution, mortal-rank bloodline, 2-stars talent, failed!
”Yu Ru Bing, 19 years old, profound-rank constitution, profound-rank bloodline, 3-star talent, pass!
”Tang Ximen, 19 years old, profound-rank constitution, profound-rank bloodline, 3-star talent, pass!
A lot of examinees were eliminated in the first round due to their age exceeding the age limit or insufficient talent.
Many young men and young girls were left with dejected looks as they failed to pass even the first round of examination.
Although they were known as unparalleled geniuses in their respective clan, they were just ordinary or even a trash cultivator if compared to Heaven Sword Sect's standard.
”Meng Qi!”
The crowds who were relatively quiet while waiting for their turns suddenly turn lively when one of the genius' names was called.
Everybody present turned their attention to the beautiful young lady.
”Look it's Fairy Meng's turn!” exclaimed one of the cultivators.
”How many stars do you think could be light up with Fairy Meng's talent?”
”I think she is a 5-stars talent!”
”I don't think so. Do you think Fairy Meng is on par with Senior Lin Ming, Fairy Feng, or Fourth Elder? I don't think so. I think she is barely 4-stars talent.”
”Yeah, I think 4-stars quite accurate.”
She confidently place her hand on the three crystals one by one while the examiner checked its results.
”18 years old, Earth-rank constitution, Profound-Rank Bloodline!”
Earth grade constitution could be considered as the top constitution in Eastern Region.
Whoever had an Earth-grade physique or bloodline could be guarantee to be an expert in the future, as long as they didn't meet a mishap in their cultivation or died early.
As for Heaven grade constitution or bloodline, it was as rare as phoenix's feather or qilin's horn.
”4-stars talent! passed!”
Fairy Meng had a slightly downcast expression when she saw that only 4 stars lit up on the gate.
She looked in Feng Xue's direction and clenched her fist. She didn't think that she was less talented than Feng Xue. But, the reality proved otherwise.
'I'll quickly catch up with you, just you wait!' she swore in her heart while looking at Feng Xue with a provocating gaze.
Sensing her gaze, Feng Xue smirked at her as if she tell her 'I accept your challenge.'
Not long after that, the twins were called.
”Qi Ning'er, 17 years old, Earth-rank constitution, Profound-rank Bloodline, 4-stars talent! Passed!”
”Qi Ying'er, 17 years old, Earth-rank constitution, Profound-rank Bloodline, 4-stars talent! Passed!”
These results once again set the crowd in the blaze. Three people with an Earth-grade constitution appear at the same time. It was quite unprecedented.
”Wow, the twin is as talented as Fairy Meng!”
”With their potential and perfectly combination technique, I think they are bound to be prominent figures in the future.”
After the twins, there was no more Earth grade constitution or bloodline appeared, most of them had profound grade constitution and bloodline, which was expected.
”Look the next turn is Xian Bu Yu!” one cultivator said when he saw that Xian Bu Yu was on the line.
”Even though he was quite cunning and shrewd, his capabilities also real. Truly a dragon among the man. I think he was at least 4-stars,” one of the cultivators clicked his tongue in admiration.
Xian Bu Yu unhurriedly placed his hand on the examination crystals. His smile showed how confident he was.
”Xian Bu Yu, 17 years old, Earth-rank Constitution, Profound-rank Bloodline,” said the examiner.
Xian Bu Yu then walked into the gate and looked at the stars who gradually lit up with expectation in his eyes.
1, 2, 3, 4…
5 stars shone on the top of the gate.
His smile became more apparent made his quite handsome face more dazzling.
”4-stars… no, 5-stars talent!” shouted one of the cultivators excitedly.
”Kyaa, Young Master Xian marry me..!!”
”How dare you! Young Master Xian is my husband!”
