9 08 "Sect Entrance Test Part 1"

A few minutes later, I was now standing in front of the gate of the soaring dragon sect with Princess Ling.

The sect has a huge campus ground located at the edge of a cliff. From the side, there's even a map for it as one might get lost easily.

From the top view, it had a clear 4 layers. Each were labeled as [Core Students], [Inner Students], [Outer Students] and last [assistant students].

[core students] --->Martial king establishment and Age below 40.

[inner student] ---> Martial Human establishment and Age Below 30.

[Outer Student] ---> Foundation Establishment and Age below 20.

[Assistant student] ---> Assistant Students for the upper 3 layer but can promote their ranks but they had to fulfill conditions written above otherwise, they will Assistant for their life.

For the elders, there is a separate space for them on the left side of the campus.

On the far right side was an arena called [Life and Death].

After taking a quick glance at the map, I moved towards the entrance and asked the guard for application for princess Ling.

It seems that entrance exams are done by batches. Luckily, this is the last day of the recruitment and the exam will be done by the afternoon.

Bidding the guard goodbye, I roamed around [Ziyou City] to take a look around with Princess Ling while waiting for recruitment time because it was 9 am in the morning we still 3 hrs for recruitment exam. After 2 hours and 45 minutes later we went back to Soaring dragon sect. Started waiting for Exam to start.

Sect Entrance Test

The first item on the sect entrance test was the bone age.

The

"All Silent," Said a middle-aged elder in white robes towards the crowds.

At the front of the crowd stood a middle-aged elder in white robes, and he silently sat below the table with his eyes closed in meditation, whereas at his side were a few Inner Court disciples working busily.

A completely round and pitch black profound stone was placed on the table, and when the youth that participated in the test placed their hands on it, it would accurately test their bone age.

The disciples that the Soaring Dragon Sect wanted to recruit this time required a true age that was below 20, and the bone age test was for the sake of preventing some cultivators from slipping through. After all, it was difficult to clearly distinguish a cultivators age just from outward appearance. For example, the Su Clan's Grand Elder Su Lingfeng looked like an immature young child due to the cultivation technique he cultivated, and only bone age wouldn't be deceived.

"Mo Kai, 19, qualified!"

"Feng Wei, 13, qualified!"

"Yue Zhan, 26, disqualified!"

"Long Ling, 18 Qualified!"

"Ling Tian, 15 Qualified!"

Amongst the announcing voices of those Inner Court disciples, the people with qualified bone ages cried out loudly in excitement, whereas those that encountered the tragic fate of disqualification were dejected. There were even some people that burst into loud sobs and attempted to commit suicide. At this moment, the different kinds of attitudes and emotions of people were vividly portrayed.

Lance(Ling Tian) sighed unendingly as he watched. Fortunately, He and Princess ling were just 15 and 18 respectively, and they were able to pass the test extremely smoothly. This caused the pair to heave a sigh of relief, as they'd successfully obtained two wooden tokens.

These two command tokens had their age, name, and other information inscribed on it, and only by obtaining this command token would one be able to participate in the second item, the constitution test.

The two of them directly went to the constitution test right away.

The quality of the constitution was related to the speed of cultivation. The better the constitution, the easier it was to advance in cultivation. Conversely, the worse the constitution, the more incomplete meridians would cause one's attainments to not be great even if one cultivated, and it was even to the extent that one would find it difficult to take a step forward and forever have no fate with the path to immortality.

Princess Ling was at level Martial Human establishment and Ling tian was at level one skin refining stage and even though their constitutions weren't the absolute best, it was at the top 7 grade, allowing them to easily pass through the test. After his During this process, Lance(Ling Tian) had always been watching from the side, and he obviously noticed that just the test of the constitution had eliminated a few thousand people. It could be seen from this that not everyone could cultivate to immortality and seek the Dao.

when inner court students were checking the constitution of Ling tian weather changed into a stormy one and changed back right after ling tian's constitution check.

The middle-aged elder(Cheng Xi) in dark green robes{He was an elder is Soaring dragon sect but he has a hidden identity as grand elder Guardian of the Soaring Dragon Sect } who was meditating near the Bodhi Tree woke up from his meditation and walked toward Ling Tian (Lance) and held the hand of ling tian in his hand and asked him "Level one 1 skin refining stage with 7 grade constitution, Tell me, have you cultivated before? because I can't feel any qi from your Dantian"

"No Elder, I haven't cultivated in my life because I was called to have trashy Constitution that's why I gave up on cultivation" Answered Ling Tian while making a story.

"How can that be you should have at least foundation stage by now. let me check again," said Cheng xi sent his qi into the Dantian of ling tian and started examining him.

"How is it? elder. I am a trash, right?. I knew that" said ling tian in low voice.

"No, its opposite of what you are thinking. your constitution was the 8-grade constitution but you were poisoned in birth was your degraded to grade 7 constitutions but I have a cultivation skill manual for you to remove the poison from your Dantian" Elder cheng xi gave the cultivation skill manual to Ling Tian.

"Thank you, Elder, for your generosity. I will work hard to live up to your expectation " said Ling Tian to Elder Cheng Xi.

"You don't have to thank me. Just Cultivate Hard in the future. take up the next test" Said Cheng xi Elder

"How may I call you? elder" Ling Tian asked

"Just call me. Elder Xi," said Elder Cheng Xi and disappear before Ling tian's eyes

When it was almost night, Both Princess Ling and Ling tian were brought to next the place that tested their will.

This was a circular field that occupied an area of 3km, and 64 apricot yellow flags set up an Illusory Devilrock Grand Formation according to a profound placement.

The disciples that participated in the test were required to sit cross-legged within the grand formation. When the grand formation was activated, their entire bodies would suffer boundless pressure, as if they were carrying something extremely heavy on their back, and it was extremely hard. Moreover, various types of illusions would appear within their minds, like a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses, roiling devilish qi, and raging vengeful spirits, causing their bodies and mental state to suffer an extremely harsh test.

The longer one was able to persist within the grand formation, the firmer one's will was, and a firm will mean that one's heart towards the Dao would be firmer. It represented that one would be able to never lose heart before repeated failures, hack a way forward through all difficulties, overcome the various types of greed, and sweep through all obstacles on the road to seeking immortality and not go to the extent of going astray.

In this world, there were too many people with extraordinary natural endowments that were reduced to mediocrity or became crippled because of their will's lack of firmness. Whereas those ordinary people with normal natural endowments were instead able to rely on extraordinary determination and will to step into the ranks of experts and laughed proudly at the entire world.
