174 Chapter 174 "I see you." (1/2)

”Come all of you maggots from the Outer Court and get yourself a number. You know what's going to happen so get to it fast! I don't have time to wait for your lazy asses today.”

A negative old man yelled unto the collection of lower disciples in the dome.

Although this old grandpa was pretty harsh with his words but no voice of discontent rang in his vicinity or otherwise.

They have known right from the start that this impatient Senior was the famous assistant of Elder Hong Tian, Elder Tao Ru.

And same as his good master, Tao Ru was of course a full fledged Golden Core Expert.

”Here is your number, Young Master Clark. You only need to wait for when everyone will get their respective numbers and after that, the Inner Disciples Exam should begin without fail.”

Elder Feng Ren passed a wooden stele with the number of 1 towards our very own bored gamer.

As one of the two Legacy Disciples in the Demonic Sword Sect, he was of course given the honor to be allotted the first choice in the thousands of attendance in this Inner Disciples Exam.

One should know that the Outer Court prided over three hundred fifty thousands cultivators all in all and yet there were only a few thousand participants in this contest.

It could be seen from this alone that there were really few people who had reached the peak of Mortal Shedding Realm.

Five minutes quickly passed and the last person held the number of 5238.

Amongst the ones who appeared today, this approximate few amongst the 350,000 Outer Disciples, joined in on the Inner Disciples Exam.

”Enter the Stage when your name is called!” Tao Ru handled the proceedings and started with due haste.

”Stage 1 Outer Disciple Clark Colter vs Inner Disciple Gu Ju!” The first pair was called.

”BANG!” And one ring of combat rose from the ground.

”Stage 2 Outer Disciple Long Tian vs Inner Disciple Jin Jie!” The second pair was summoned into place.

”BOOM!” And another ring of combat ascended into form.

”Stage 3 Outer Disciple...”

.

..

...

The list of names continued and some were overly excited to begin the battle before all the names were entirely called into motion.

Nevertheless, Tao Ru was blind and deaf through it all because he was perhaps the most eager one for this event to conclude.

”Good luck, Young Master Clark. Be careful in there.”

Amongst the people who bade fortune to our lucky protagonist, Lian Li and Lian Ah's voices were maybe one of the warmest on the scene.

Of course, Wan Fei was also not to be taken lightly as she spearheaded the trio of well wishers in the party.

”This will be so easy for me. No worries. I will come back in triumph very soon!” Clark smiled with full confidence of his capabilities.

With a True Immortal Cultivation, our bored gamer only had to take one look at the format of this magical construct and that was totally enough for him to decipher how this came to be.

'Hmmm... What innovative Formation Arrays!' Clark approved of what he has seen.

He had noticed at this time that the stage had an extremely special ban that would limit every cultivator that would step into its area of influence.

An effect that would make equal everyone inside to cater to the lowest realm within them. Like for example Clark who had the facade of a 10th Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm.

Although his adversary was already in the 1st Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm, they would truly be fighting on the same grounds because his enemy's cultivation would be limited to the strength of a 10th Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm.

'A strong downgrade!' Clark exclaimed inside.

This cast was pretty much familiar to his eyes already and it did not even need much prying for him to determine that this has the distinct touch of one very particular person in the Demonic Sword Sect.

'I wonder how this sect would survive without your guidance and expertise, Elder Tan Hai.' Clark mused and could only admire an old acquaintance after his discoveries.

Before long, our good gamer jumped into the 1st Stage to meet with an Inner Disciple named Gu Ju.

The two adversaries thrown together by fate looked eye to eye and neither of them spoke any word whatsoever.

In the end, the other people on the arenas nearby could only begin amidst this state of inaction. No words or taunts resounded but only direct engagement between very deadly foes.

”BANG!” A flash of lightning razed the stage in yellowish thunderous brilliance.

One body was thrown outside the ring and it was very peculiar to see that an ancient rune covered the neck portion of the Inner Disciple.

Had this rune not interfered with the invisible slash from the man that seemed to be made out of lightning, there would be no doubt that he would have lost his life right then and there.
