Chapter 36 - Six - I see an old foe (1/2)

”Confirmed, seventeen years of age, tertiary stage.”

The Teacher That Pike introduced them too was named Reece. There were two tests that Jin Li was required to perform; the bone test, which calculated his age and the spirit test, which calculated his cultivation level. These two tests were the minimal required tests, however if the person had no cultivation, but the potential for it, then they could still take the latter entry tests.

The Teacher was polite to Jin Li seeing as he had somehow earned Pike's approval, however, he was not expecting much of the man, who from his posture, was clearly an arrogant young master. His eyebrows raised slightly, even more so when the youth appeared dissatisfied with his results. Why? He could not fathom. Breaking through to tertiary level at his young age, what sort of pills and teachings had he had to be able to reach this level. Was he not concerned that his cultivation might be unstable?

”Y-you r-really are s-seventeen?” The small youth beside the young master questioned.

”I just told you so, did I not?” Jin Li scowled.

”D-didn't think y-you were younger th-than m-me,” the boy muttered.

”Oh?” Came the response.

”W-well y-your s-s-so m-much b-bigger than m-me!” There was a hint of complaint behind his worlds.

”You are just small,” Jin Li stated, causing the boy to pout a little, his arms crossed about his chest. Pike muffled a chuckle with his fist. As always, this country bumpkin amused him.

”And would this young boy also be applying today,” the Teacher interrupted them, causing Pike to chuckle just a little more.

”I'm a-a-already e-enrolled, s-sir,” Leon replied with a slight squeak. ”Um.. a-a-alchem-mist s-school.”

”I see,” the Teacher gave him a long stare, which caused him to flush under the scrutiny. He turned back to his companion. ”Well, there are nothing wrong with your initial tests. Pike, would you show this young man where the secondary tests take place.”

”Yes, Teacher Reese,” Pike agreed and indicated that Jin Li ought to follow him.
