Chapter 74: Entrance Test (1/2)

Mist Origin sect was way too intriguing of a sect for Ning to not visit at all. In fact, he wanted to do more than just visit it. He wanted to join it. So, this early morning he had left the city for exactly this reason.

He wanted to join the sect. He had been wondering what joining a sect would feel like ever since learning about the three sects 10 days ago, and now he was going to join one.

Except, he needed to pass their test exam before being allowed to enter the sect.

When he reached the Mist Origin sect's sect land, he nodded to himself. Just as the city knowledge had told him, the sect was in fact on top of an elevated piece of land.

Ning was, however, surprised to see so many people in front of the sect, ready to take the test.

'System did say the exam took every month. But I didn't expect so many to join at once,' he thought. 'Although, most will probably fail. It would've been great if the system could see the future too. It could've told me what the tests were. I would never fail that way,' he thought.

Soon a person came out wearing a red robe and started speaking.

”Everyone, Welcome to the monthly test of Mist Origin sect. We have only two requirements for you to join the tests,” the man said.

”First, you cannot be over 25 years of age, or you will be disqualified.”

”Second, you must be at least a Qi Condensation 2nd realm cultivator,” the man said. After finishing that, the gate opened and everyone was allowed in. Ning got into a queue that led inside the gate and was tested by someone.

Once the person made sure that his age and cultivation requirement were okay, he let Ning go inside.

He was sent to a hall where he stood still waiting for something to happen. Sometime later, a man walked in and started speaking.

”Everyone, Welcome to the actual entrance examination. Soon, you will be handed a set of books that will list the species and rank of the beasts. All you have to do is read and remember it,” the man said.

A group of people entered and handed out the different books. Each person got handed two sets of books. Ning started flipping the book and soon realized that it was a list of monsters with names and a ranking next to it.

'We are supposed to memorize this?' he thought in shock. 'What do they think I have? Photographic memory?'

Ning then thought for a second. 'I should have that though. It will be useful. System, how much does photographic Memory costs?' he asked.

idetic Memory costs 2,000,000,000 Energy>

'Thats…' he counted in his mind and said, 'FIFTY DAYS worth of energy gathering. Sh*t, it's either get Eidetic Memory in 50 days or gather energy for 500 days and double the gap. Oh god, why does it all costs so much?' he hated it all.

'Whatever, I should start reading the books,' he thought and started studying it. The monster names were convoluted and hard to remember for someone that had never learned much about monsters.

Not only that, there were multiple monsters of the same type, only a little different and thus of different species that one had to remember the name and rank of. Very soon Ning realized that that was not happening.
