Chapter 144: Class Reveal (2/2)

{”I'll tell you when your spirit mark lights up,”} Xiao Hei said to Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang gave her a light nod.

The elder then placed the first crystal into the strange looking stone podium in front of her. In the next moment, a bright light shot out of it, displaying what looked like an enormous ant in the sky.

Suddenly, the light on the upper right arm of several of the disciples could be seen lighting up. Since it was dark out, it was easy to see the spirit marks shining through their clothes.

The disciples then climbed up onto the stage. There was a faint applause since the insect class wasn't much of an accomplishment.

After the applause died down, the disciples got off the stage.

The elder took out the first crystal then put another one in. This time an image of a snake appeared in the sky. This time many of the disciples were cheering for them as the Snake class was not something many people could easily get into.

Xiao Fang was a bit relieved that Xiao Hei hadn't said anything yet. He knew that the mysterious elder had given him a class, but he didn't know which one.

'It seems the elder didn't go back on her promise after all,' Xiao Fang thought.

”Next up, the Tiger Class,” the elder announced.

Suddenly, the spirit mark on Xiao Hei's arm began to light up.

{”Xiao Fang, that's me.”} She said via spirit transmission as she let go of his hand.

{”Xiao Hei, wait. My spirit mark, has it...”}

Xiao Hei looked back at him then at his arm, but she didn't say anything. However, saying nothing was as good as an answer itself.

{”I see.”}

Xiao Hei, as well as Li Xiang and a few others walked up to the stage. The crowd cheered louder than ever before. The Li family clansmen seemed to be cheering the loudest, but they were known to be a very loud group so it didn't surprise anyone that a few of them were even crying tears of joy to see Li Xiang up there.

The Tiger Class was a class only a few could hope to achieve before the age of 25, but Li Xiang was already being placed there at the age of 19.

Despite everyone cheering for her, Li Xiang seemed to be feeling a bit gloomy. There were only a few people standing on the stage with her, but she didn't see the person she was hoping to see.

'Where is Bai Fan,' she thought.

As the disciples were getting ready to leave, the elder finally took out a final crystal from her sleeve.

Meanwhile, Xiao Fang was still standing against the wall with a slight frown and a dark aura being released from his body. The people closest to him were still some distance away, but when his Death Reaper aura reached them, they started to feel a slight chill. However, since Xiao Fang was using [ Stealth ] they didn't know where it was coming from.

Xiao Fang wasn't mad that he didn't get into a class, he just didn't like that the elder lied to him.

'Dammit. Why is this pissing me off? I already knew how much the elders in this sect treated men, so something like this shouldn't be a surprise to me,' he thought.

Suddenly, Xiao Fang's knuckles began to crack just from clenching his fists too hard. He tried to suppress his anger, but it was still getting to him.

'I was so sure,' he thought.

Sensing that Xiao Hei was coming back, he cleared his mind and tried to suppress his anger the best he could, but there was still a bit lingered inside of him.

{”Don't worry, Xiao Fang. I'll still be able to give you whatever cultivation resources they give me.”} Xiao Hei said through a spirit transmission.

Seeing Xiao Hei being so optimistic lightened his mood a bit. He patted her on the head then gave her a little smile.

”You're right. This may be a bit of a set back, but it won't change anything. Perhaps this is what I need to keep a low profile.”

Looking through the prize she got for making it into the Tiger class, they were both surprised.

> 5,000 merit points

> 3 advanced spirit cultivation pills

> [ Illusory Body ] method.

The design on the merit points were different from the merit points they received while they were in the outer court. Since Xiao Hei had no use for those things she immediately gave it to Xiao Fang.

After putting the spatial pouch away, he eventually noticed the strange expression on Xiao Hei's face.

{”What's wrong?”} He asked.

{”Your spirit mark, it's lighting up.”}

{”What? Why would it-”}

Xiao Fang quickly realized that everyone was starting to look up, then a single thought crossed his mind.

{”Xiao Hei, quickly tell me what are they all looking at!”}

Xiao Hei looked up as well, but was mesmerized by what she saw.

”It's a, a...”

Unable to handle the suspense, Xiao Fang quickly took his blindfold off, then looked straight up at the night sky. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he saw the spectacular figure dancing in the air. Like Xiao Hei, he was now speechless too.
