10 New Disciples of the Flying Sword Sect

"The second test of the examination has been completed. Those ranked in the top one thousand will become official outer sect disciples of our Flying Sword Sect." An elder of the Flying Sword Sect who had reached the Peak of the Core Formation Realm took a step forward and loudly proclaimed the end of this years examination.

"I… I am a disciple of the Flying Sword Sect! I-I will have to tell my family!"

"Sigh… It is over. To enter the Flying Sword Sect, I spent countless resources of the family in the past few years. In the end… I failed to enter… When I get back home, the elders will kill me..."

"To think I wouldn't even be among the top ten thousand… Maybe I should just drop cultivation and start up a small farm somewhere…"

The Examination ground was suddenly extremely noisy after the rankings were revealed. The people on the list of the top 1000 were naturally extremely excited. After all, they had just managed to enter the Flying Sword Sect!

Those who had not been selected on the other hand, were filled with all kinds of mixed feelings as they stared at the giant ranking screen floating in the air high above them. Highlighting their failure for all to see.

Among the people who had failed the second test, there was no lack of geniuses that had been nurtured by their clans and families with the assistance of countless resources. When they returned back to their clan or family, one could easily imagine how disappointed their clan or family would be after finding out that they had failed to enter the Flying Sword Sect.

Most of the geniuses who had ended up failing, had made quite a few enemies back home to get their hands on those precious resources…

However, no matter what they did, the second round of the tests had officially ended and there was nothing they could do about that, they could only blame themselves for their own incompetence.

The elder of the Flying Sword Sect, who had stepped out to announce the end of the second test suddenly spoke up again.

"Other than those ranked in the top one thousand, there are also some among you that stood out in your own way. Although they are not in the top one thousand, they impressed some of the elders enough for them to personally take them in as their own disciples. Next, I'll be calling out the names of those chosen by the elders. But before that, I want to congratulate the ones within the top one thousand on officially becoming disciple of our sect!"

His words were like a thunderclap, as countless people who failed to rank among the top one thousand, as their eyes once again lit up with hope.

Even though the trace of chance of them being chosen were extremely slim, it still existed!

As all eyes focused on the elder of the Flying Sword Sect, he slowly began reciting the names of those chosen as personal disciples by one of the Flying Sword Sect's elders.

"Yi Feng, Sikong Jia, Leng Yidan, Hou Tza..."

Following this, the elder from the Flying Sword Sect named more than ten people, and those who were named all had an overjoyed smile plastered on their face. Originally, they had thought that they didn't have any hope of entering the Flying Sword Sect, but now…

Life was truly full of ups and downs, going from an all-time low to an all-time high in mere seconds.

Qing Chenyi, who was located somewhere in the examination ground clenched his fists tightly as he looked up at the elder reciting the names of those who had been personally chosen by and elder from the Flying Sword Sect. Maybe... He could still become the personal disciples of an elder!

Qing Chenyi sincerely wished that his name would appear in the elder's mouth next.

"Bai Cheng"

Just as Qing Chenyi focused his full attention on the elder, filled with endless anticipation, the name that he had uttered caused Qing Chenyi to freeze up in a shocked state ,as he quickly turned around. Looking straight at Bai Cheng, who was not far away from him and the rest of the Qing family's younger disciples.

"Bai Cheng!? How is that possible! I'm far better than him!"

When Qing Chen Yi looked over at Bai Cheng, Bai Cheng's gaze shot him a provoking look as a slight smile was visible on his face.

Bai Cheng did not seem surprised at all when his name was called... In fact, it was as if he had already expected for it to happen all along.

"How is it? I've already said that I would be able enter the Flying Sword Sect!"

Bai Cheng chuckled as he said this. Reveling in the shocked look Qing Chenyi was showing him.

Back in Bright Sun City, Qing Chenyi had already suppressed him and when others spoke of him, it was mostly to denounce him as a bully or playboy, while Qing Chenyi was always called the number one genius of the Bright Sun City

But at this moment, what was Qing Chenyi, the so-called number one genius of Bright Sun City?

In the future, he would surpass Qing Chenyi and the gap would only grow even larger after he entered the Flying Sword Sect!

"So, you entered the Flying Sword Sect through a back door?" Qing Chenyi secretly heaved a sigh of relief inside as he said this. Feeling happy that the other party had not entered the Flying Sword Sect due to him being better than him.

"So what? Why don't you give it a try and see if you can enter the Flying Sword Sect?" Bai Cheng ignored Qing Chenyi.

His attention was focused on Qing Yi, as a lustful expression appeared on his face.

"Yi, what do you think? If you agree to marry me, I can help your Qing family. Even though the Black Rose Sect is strong it is nothing compared to the Flying Sword Sect. Do you know why I was still able to enter the Flying Sword Sect with my rank? This is because our Bai family and an elder of the Flying Sword Sect are old acquaintances!

As long as you agree, I can invite this elder to help your Qing family resolve its crisis and help mediate the matters between the Qing family and the Bai family."

Instantly displaying why he was known as a playboy after having made his way over to the Qing family's group, Bai Cheng's gaze grew even more lustful, as he looked towards Qing Yi.

"I…" Qing Yi didn't know what to do faced with the lustful Bai Cheng's question.

Even though she understood that no one would say anything if she refused, she still hesitated.

Not because she liked the lustful Bai Cheng at all. But because there was some truth in what he had said...

Perhaps he, no, the elder of the Flying Sword Sect and the Flying Sword Sect behind him would be the only lifesaving grace left for the Qing family!

"I-"

"Qing Yi!"

Just as Qing Yi was about to answer, the Flying Sword Sect elder who was announcing the names on the stage called out her name.

""Eh?!""

As soon as his voice had rung out, Bai Cheng, Qing Chenyi and the other members of the Qing family's younger generation and even the First Elder who had followed them to the Flying Sword Sect were stunned.

Bai Cheng's ranking was low. He had even admitted that the reason why he could be selected was that his Bai family knew an elder of the Flying Sword Sect.

But the Qing family didn't have any acquaintances in the Flying Sword Sect…

Qing Yi opened her mouth as her little head started buzzing.

Her name… Was it called?

How could this be…

Her performance was ranked amongst the bottom, even lower than Bai Cheng…

"Ah... Your proposal from earlier, I refuse!"

After quickly calming herself down, Qing Yi smiled happily as she immediately rejected Bai Cheng's earlier proposal.
