Chapter 254: Registration (1/2)

All the sects walked over to a room inside the coliseum. The sheer number of people in the room was enough to scare anyone away.

'Just how many cultivators are there in this room alone? And they are the best of the best too,' Alex thought.

Alex looked around and saw a lot of different people. All of them were from sects he had never heard of before. 'I only know a handful of sects, to begin with, and even amongst them, I only know Tiger sect and the Hong Wu sect by looking at them,' he thought.

He looked around and caught sight of someone. It was a lady in a red robe and was surrounded by other cultivators of her own sect.

'Ah, that's the lady I saw in the restaurant. Her face still seems so… familiar. Who is she?' Alex wondered.

He looked at her for a few more moments but could remember nothing. 'Weird, I am pretty sure I haven't seen her before,' he thought. Soon, he forgot about her and focused on what was happening in front of him.

There were multiple stands with people in black robes noting the name of the participants and which competitions they were taking part in.

It was sect wise and the 1st-grade sects got their turn first. The 12 different 1st-grade sects had disciples taking part in nearly all of the tests, so it took quite a while for Alex's turn to come.

Alex finally saw the group of disciples from the Tiger sect a bit further away getting ready for their registration. However, he didn't see his senior sister anywhere. 'She must not be participating until the final day,' he thought.

Soon, it was Hong Wu Sect's turn as well.

There were 8 people in total taking part in the competition today, so they all walked forward. Ma Rong gave the black-robed woman working in the registration her card and soon they were ready for registering.

The woman tapped on a metal ball next to her that was being kept on next to her and it sounded a small TING.

”Grab the metal ball and put some Qi into it and put it back,” the woman said.

”Go, Meimei,” Ma Rong said and Zhou Mei walked forward and grabbed the sphere. She then put some Qi into it. The sphere made no denotation of it being filled with Qi, but Zhou Mei was sure that it was.

She slowly put it down on its place in the metal sheet. The woman checked the result and said, ”Hmm… 23-year-old, 4th realm of Meridian Tempering. tell me your name and the competition you are participating in?”

”Zhou Mei, for the raw ingredient recognition test at 11 am for Alchemy,” Zhou Mei said.

”Alright, registered. Next,” the woman said.

Fan Ruogang did the same thing. She walked up and grabbed the metal ball before infusing her Qi into it. After she was done, she put it back in its place.
