Chapter 51 - Tremendous Rewards (1/2)

When Qin Nan arrived at the White Jade Dojo, the whole place was crowded with people; with just a glimpse, Qin Nan estimated that there were around three hundred plus new disciples, which was a few hundred more than last time.

“It seems like the number of newly recruited disciples has exceeded my expectations.”

Qin Nan exclaimed in his heart, before he then subtly blended into the crowd.

Even though he had made a name for himself, most of the disciples still would not know who he was—they would not bother to notice him.

Even Qin Nan’s enemy, Ling Zixiao, had no time to spend on Qin Nan at this moment.

“The new disciples here were all the newly recruited ones of the Mystic Spirit Sect this year, which is a few hundred more than last time. Let me observe them with my Eyes of the Divine Battle Spirit, to see just how many people are worthy of my attention.”

Qin Nan, unnoticed to anyone else, scanned the whole White Jade Dojo with his Eyes of the Divine Battle Spirit.

Every single new disciple at the scene would never have expected someone to inspect them one-by-one just as the Trial of Versatility was about to commence.

The observation took the time equivalent to the time needed for two incenses to burn.

The final result caused a grave expression to appear on Qin Nan’s face.

The last time he had observed, there were around forty people worthy of his attention. This time, there were around eighty or more people in total whom he needed to take note of.

Every single one of these eighty or more disciples had a cultivation base of at least the seventh-layer Body Tempering Realm—two layers higher than Qin Nan’s.

Besides that, Qin Nan had also realized that quite a large amount of disciples had improved themselves in the past ten days.

For example, Ling Zixiao—Qin Nan’s enemy—had improved his cultivation to the ninth-layer Body Tempering Realm.

“Looks like this Trial of Versatility is going to be an intense battle between geniuses.”

Qin Nan withdrew his Eyes of the Divine Battle Spirit after having this thought; a thrilling sensation gradually arose in his heart.

Meanwhile, all of a sudden, five forceful auras approached from afar in the sky.

The initially noisy White Jade Dojo fell into silence at this instant.

All the new disciples at the scene had their expressions change after detecting the pressure, and as if they were being pressed downward by five large mountains, it caused them to have trouble breathing.

In the sky, five old men could be seen walking toward them with forceful auras; they were the five elders of the Mystic Spirit Sect.

Among the five elders, the one leading them was the old white-haired man who came to the White Jade Dojo last time.

After the old white-haired man settled down, he scanned the whole area with his gaze like last time, which ended up on Huang Long and Ling Zixiao as he complimented, “Two ninth-grade Huang ranked geniuses indeed. Huang Long and Ling Zixiao, you two have done great. In the following Trial of Versatility, us five have high hopes in the performances of you two.”

The other four elders nodded their heads smilingly, without concealing the hint of admiration in their eyes.

Huang Long smiled showing his teeth, whereas Ling Zixiao raised his head; the prideful expression on his face was further ingrained.

All the other new disciples in the surroundings were glancing at them with admiration.

Same as before, the old white-haired man acted resolutely, who quickly calmed his expression down and said, “The Trial of Versatility will be under the supervision of us five. I’ll be the MC for the time being. I’ll now explain the rules of the Trial of Versatility. I’ll only say this once, so listen carefully.”

The words from the old white-haired man were accompanied by a hint of imperiousness, which encapsulated the whole dojo.

All the new disciples had their focus fixed on the old man, not willing to miss out on a single detail.

An undetectable prideful expression flashed across the old white-haired man’s eyes, as he said in an icy tone, “The Trial of Versatility will take place on the Island of Versatility. In a while, we five elders will work together to create a teleport portal, and send you all onto the island. Your starting positions are randomized. In a month’s time, the formation on the island will be activated, sending you all back here.”
