Chapter 21-The Destiny (1/2)

The two people in teal and white stepped back far away from the stone. Xiao Chen was also scared as hell and wanted to take his hand back. However, it seemed that his hand had been cauterized on the stone. He was not able to take his hand back.

All of a sudden, the black stone vibrated violently and then shattered with an earthshaking boom. This stone contained a great amount of Mystic Power, so its explosion was catastrophic. Yu Yifeng had seen this coming. He pointed two fingers at Xiao Chen as a beam of white radiance dashed forth and instantly changed into a radiance curtain that shrouded Xiao Chen.

Then, he flashed to Xiao Chen in a beam of light and pressed on Xiao Chen's wrist.

After a long time, the crowd in the square was still restless. Yu Yifeng released Xiao Chen's hand and said loudly, ”Everyone, do not panic. The test stone had gone wrong just now. Junior Brother Xiao has six Upper Spiritual Meridians.”

His words carried more authority than that of the Spiritual Meridian Test elder, and the crowd accepted this reasonable explanation. The elder then said with a smile, ”Yes, indeed. This stone had not been maintained for a hundred years, so it's normal for it to go wrong.”

The two men in teal and white did not make comments. One of them said, ”Now, please wait for a moment. I'll show the test results to the elder.”

Xiao Chen was still a bit distracted. He was really scared by those 12 beams of black light. Yu Yifeng pressed on his shoulder and said, ”It's fine. It's just a test stone that had gone wrong. You go back now.”

”Okay.” Xiao Chen nodded and walked to the crowd below. Xiao Wan'er giggled and said, ”I knew it. You're as good as Brother Xiao Han. It's a shame that I only have four Spiritual Meridians. But it's fine anyway. Shall we go to the town tomorrow to celebrate? It's on me!”

Xiao Chen forced a smile and said, ”Okay.” Xiao Han was still there quietly gazing at the sky.

At this moment, the Three Princes walked here, and one of them said, ”Senior Brother Xiao, impressive!”

Xiao Chen nodded and smiled, saying, ”Yoo too.”

Each of the three people had two Medium Spiritual Meridians, which was not too bad.

Dusk fell one hour later. The two people in teal and white walked back to the crowd with a bundle of bamboo slips in their hands. Everyone started to concentrate because the names of those who would join the sect must be written on those slips.

The one in teal opened the slips and read, ”The following 50 are qualified Outer Disciples. Liu Han, Wang Yue...”

Many people listened attentively and were extremely nervous. They wanted to hear their names now because it was impossible for them to be an Inner Disciple.”

Some talented disciples were also nervous. On the contrary to most people, they did not want to hear their names now. Xiao Wan'er was one of them.

The man in teal finished reading the names as Xiao Wan'er sighed with relief. Her name was not on this list. The Three Princes jumped with joy. One of them said, ”After all these, we're Outer Disciples!”

Xiao Chen's brow furrowed tightly as he stared at the man in white.

The man in white opened the bamboo slips in his hand and said, ”The following five people have better talents, hence they will directly become the Pro-disciples of the First Elder.” He then looked at the slips and said, ”Tang Yu.”

”Here!” A 17-year-old youth raised his hand.

”Zhao Lingfei.”

”Here! Here!” A 17-year-old girl jumped and waved her hands.

”Shangguan Yan.”

Shangguan Yan smiled gently and nodded her head.

Xiao Chen's brows knitted tightly. There were three of them, but now there were only two names left!

”Xiao Wan'er.”

”Here!” Xiao Wan'er raised her hand and immediately looked at the other two people beside her, frowning.

The disciple in white nodded and said, ”Xiao...” He then looked carefully at the bamboo slips, when everybody looked at Xiao Chen and Xiao Han.

”Xiao Han.”

The disciple in white smiled and said, ”Congratulations on your Inner Disciple qualifications...”

”Wait!”

A cold voice interrupted him. Xiao Chen walked forth with a gloomy face. The disciple in teal said, ”Junior Brother, take it easy... Don't start a fight here...”

Xiao Chen grabbed the bamboo slips from the disciple in white and then read it. A few seconds later, the knuckle of his finger cracked. The disciple in white smiled bitterly and said, ”Junior brother, you can come here next time...”

”Next time. Hehe. So am I not even qualified for Outer Disciples? Hehe...” Xiao Chen smiled coldly. He looked sullen and scary.

Nobody had expected this. Xiao Chen had an outstanding performance from the beginning. Even though he could not be an Inner Disciple, why was his name not on the Outer Disciples' list?

Luo Shangyan walked to him quickly and said, ”It's okay. Our group finished the first in the test, so I can appoint one person to become an Inner Disciple...”

The disciple in teal smiled bitterly and said, ”Senior Sister Luo, the elders canceled this privilege temporarily. So you...”

”What?!” Luo Shangyan could not quite believe this.

The disciple in white said, ”All right, brothers and sisters, you can go back now. Tomorrow, you will formally take the entrance ceremony. By the way, to those who failed to join our sect, please don't be discouraged. We will recommend you to the Skygale Sect and many others.”

The crowd sighed and shook their heads. It was a joke that the Skygale Sect would want a reject from the Three Pure Sect.

The Three Princes walked forth and asked, ”Senior Brothers, have you mistaken?”

Xiao Wan'er and the others also walked forth. Shangguan Yan asked, ”May I pass him my qualification?”

”Uhh...” The two disciples in teal and white looked embarrassed. ”Is this a joke?”

”Oh, it's nothing. I was just asking.”

”I want to see your elders!” Xiao Chen growled.
