There were inly three test for the 10,000 people. The first test was a test for the soul. It was to climb up stair. The higher the stair the more pressure one would feel. Second was a test of physical strength. The third test was a fight. The test them began after the explanation.

For the first step, only 6,000 people remained. Zen got 1st place. The test of physical ability was to run 100m. Most people gave up halfway. Only 2,000 people were left. Many people were upset but the somehow knew that they would be unable to join. So the people who left either went back home or went to Sun Mountain.

But it was time for the last test. The 2000 participants were told to go to the arena. When they arrived, they saw some people. Zen saw that their were people in box columns. They were the 20 elders and the leader. There were also many famous people seated.

An elder came down and started to explain things. They would be placed in one place. Each person would have a badge. For defeating a person, you would get 20 points. Only 200 people would be accepted as members and the top 10 would be accepted as disciples of any elder. After explaining, the match then began.

For every person Zen fought, he used a different martial arts and they were either defeated in one strike or 2. That made the nobles in the row upset because he had eliminated some of their children. They were also amazed because, he used so many different martial arts. They then started paying attention to him.

But Zen wasn't they only person on a roll. There were 4 people who he found rather promising. The first was a swords man called He Feng from the Feng clan. The Feng clan was one of the biggest families. The second was a girl called Xia Yu from the Yu clan. The Yu clan was also huge. The third was a commoner boy named Yin Peng with exceptional physical strength. The fourth was a mysterious girl called Unni Li. She was very beautiful. But the thing was that no one knew who she was.

After 3 hours of fighting, it ended. The 200 people with the highest number of points were chosen. Zen got 4000 points, He Feng had 2540 points, Xia Yu had 2000 points, Yin Peng had 1500 and Unni Li had 3000 points. Those were the at the top.
