Registration

At the moment, Xiao Shui just stared at Xiao Tan.

" You got her pregnant? then ran off and got married without telling anyone? and now you have a son."

With a big smirk, Xiao Tan while raising his hand as if he was doing a salute.

"Correct! it was love at first sight! I say love at first sight!" OOh yeah brother Shui, If you want, you should help Sister-in-law Lan have a kid today, maybe then it'll rush your marriage"

"Bang!"

" shut up you bastard, let go inside and figure out what we shall do with the test"

Xiao Shui, gave a punch to the head and walked inside.

From Xiao Tan, Shui had gotten the full gist of the story. The girl, or his Sis-in-Law, was from a small family, a weak family. it was love at first sight for Tan, and soon things went future. Xiao Tan did go to his family

to discuss marriage, but his Grandfather, the second grandfather declined and thought that it was too early as the Xiao clan was still developing.

Well soon, Tan had found out that his wife to be, had gotten pregnant. so they rushed, to the general court and got an official marriage certificate! Well, when the family found, they were frustrated at him, not because of whom he married, but the way he did it.

back at the Testing arena. After taking a few minutes, Xiao Shui finally came up with two tests that would provide value. He quickly called back his uncle Du and asked Tan to bring his Father, Xiao Mu, to the station.

Soon all four, and with a few extra guards were gathered. Xiao Shui briefly, explained the test that would be conducted and who would lead them.

For the Inscription part of the test, uncle Mu would lead it. For the Warrior exam, the three of Xiao Shui, Tan, and uncle Du would help.

The first test would be called the test of Gut! In which, uncle Du and his cultivation of the 1st level of the Marshall, will play the main role. In this test, the student will stand 100 meters away from Xiao Du, who would release his Aura of the Marshall realm, in a way to determine which of the students have the guts and desire to be Martial Artist! The closer they would walk, the more pressure they felt, to the point that they would not be able to continue. The test didn't measure who was the closest to Xiao Du, but the ones that fought and fought were willing to get injured but still fought! Only these kinds of students had a heart and desire to cultivate!

The second test was a battle between the students, in which cultivation did not matter! but it was a test that determined ego, and desire.

after assigning the roles to everyone, the group dispersed and went to the separate testing areas. While Xiao Shui and Tan went to the front along with a few guards and Xiao Clan members.

And soon, the Plaza started to fill out, more and more people gather. These people ranged from the mid-20s to the early teens.

Unfortunately for the Xiao Clan, their station was not crowded. A few people would come by and ask, a few would accept the Inscription test, while most would go look at the other clan's Warrior exam.

Soon an hour went by,

" damn it, brother Shui. We should have known, we're a new clan, and only those that were rejected would come here towards the end of the day to take the Warrior's Exam. While no one is showing much interest in Inscriptions even with the fame it has shown." Xiao Tan spouted as sat down near Xiao Shui, who had been cultivating.

" be patient, Cousin, be patient," Said Xiao Shui who was still cultivating. Actually, the recruitment event would occur every five years, and since the Xiao Clan was new it did not have the same repetition compare to those Clans that had deep roots.

Just then a figure walked over to them.

"Excuse me, I would like to try out for the Warrior Exam" Send the voice gingerly.

Xiao Shui slowly opened up his eyes, and noticed a boy around the age of 14, standing in front of him. The first thing that was noticed about the boy, were the clothes that he wore, they were ripped, dried stain of blood could be seen on them. They looked like animal skin, put together. Behind the boy student a family of 3, clearly it was this boy's family, who also came along with him with hopes.

It was not common to see these poor families, coming along with their sons or daughters in the hope that gets selected and the clans allow their family to enter into the clan.

Xiao Tan, quickly walked up to the boy.

" Little Brother! Perfect, can I Have your name, age, cultivation realm, and village or area you are from?"

" Yu Mun, 14 years old, 5th and final stage of the body tempering realm, and I am from Blueberry Village"

"Perfect I will have you regi..."

Just as Xiao Tan was going to finish, a rude and loud-voiced interfered with the registration.

" So, even powerful clan, like the the "Great Xiao Clan" takes in the garbage, that can't even afford proper clothes... what an excuse"

The youth that spoke, looked to be around the same age, as Yu mun, but he wore much nicer clothes, showing the difference in background. around him, two other youths walked alongside him, while a few female companions also walked next to him.

One of the girls, finally spoke up to the youth in the middle, "Brother Su, why waste time here? you've already gotten selected by the Hyu Clan, it is worthless to even talk to these scums. In a few years, your name will be widely known"

The girl had mistaken, Xiao Shui and Xiao Tan, as attendants of the Xiao Clan instead of Master, therefore threw insults at them agon with Yu Mun.

Another Youth standing next to them spoke as well, " Sister Sai, you may not know this, but there was another power clan stationed here, the Lee Clan, which had close ties with Brother Su's clan. But due to a few issues, with the Royal Clan, it was wiped out, and the Xiao clan came into power. therefore reducing the power of Brother Su's Clan. "

When the Royal Clan was mention, deep respect and fear could be seen in every one of these youths.

" Brother Ka, It is all in the past. I came to that to pay my respect as the Su clan is now under the protection of the Xiao Clan, but it seems it's just a joke. Look at how many people are willing to take the exam. So many people are under the Xiao Clan's protection yet no one has appeared! they're all taking other clan's exams. " The youth from the Su spoke again, as he looked over at Xiao Shui and the rest.

Finally, Xiao Shui had heard enough, he slwoly got up from his seat, as he looked at the youth in front of him.

" Are you done? what reason do you have to say insults to the Xiao Clan? who do you think you are? I don't care if your under the Xiao Clan's protection or not, you are free to do what you wish, but you do not have the right to insult our students and member of the Xiao Clan!

Soon, an Aura of the 3rd level of the Martial Solider erupted as Xiao Shui walked over to Brother Su.

Standing face to face, and the aura that Xiao Shui released, everyone including brother Su, took a step back, a few took multiple steps backs.

Sweat could be seen coming down brother Su's forehead.

"brother...Brother....' to the surprise of everyone, the youth took a knee and Bowed down to Xiao Shui.

" Brother. I apologize didn't see it correctly I apologize. please forgive me!"

Bang

A Kick landed on brother Su, throwing him back.

" A guy like you. does not deserve to enter into the Xiao Clan. next time you act like this, I hope you have the balls to back it up! Get out!"

Just like that, the Youth know as brother Su ran away.

and Xiao Shui returned to his area.

on the other side, both Xiao Tan and Yu Mun, looked at Xiao Shui with mouths open.

For Xiao Tan, he thought how cool his cousin was.

While Yu Mun had a different thought, he thought how powerful Xiao Shui was, how he experiences so much suffering in his life, and he wanted to give the best to his family! for him, no his family he had to get into the Xiao Clan!

" I would like to enter"

"I would also like to try out"

soon, after the small issue with brother Su, a lot more youths started appearing and wanting to try out for the test.

A Common trait among these youths was that everyone came from a poor background. But the Xiao Clan happily accepted.

But with the issue with brother Su, one small detail caught Xiao Shui's eye. The fact that the Xiao clan protected over 20 territories, yet none of the known powers has sent their youths over to the Xiao Clan testing.

" So do you think that the Xiao Clan can be walked over? fine be like that" Xiao Shui turned to one of the guards near him, and called out.

" Guard Su, send out a notification that Xiao's Clan register period for the warrior test will end in 1 hour. If those do not make the register in one hour, then they were not be allowed to take the exam.

the guard quickly rushed out and deliver the news to the Plaza. Shocking everyone.

Some started laughing at the Xiao Clan for issuing a deadline, while others were confused as in these types of recruitments, no clan places a deadline this early.

" Brother Shui, was this the right thing to do?"

" don't worry about it Tan Continue registering"

Soon 5 mins, passed, then 10 min, then 15.

Yet the people that were registering dropped and dropped until they stopped.

Soon there were only about 20 mins left since the deadline, and the Xiao Clan only had 20 youth registered.

5 mins left.

Finally, another individual walked up. This person had green hair falling to his shoulder.

" I would like to register!"

looking at the youth that was approaching, Xiao Shui was surprised. The youth in front of him had the cultivation level of the 2nd level of the Martial Solider, one level lower than Xiao Shui and could be considered one of the tops talents in all of the great and even royal Clans!

Xiao Tan happily walked over to the youth.

" brother, what is your name, age, cultivation.."

" Ding Wan"

" Ok, age and cultivation"

without repeating back, the youth went walked away and sat to the site. Leaving Xiao Tan stunned.

" it's fine, add him in Tan"

as soon as Ding wan left, another youth appeared, bring along him a large crowd.

" hey! isn't that the Lion Marshall's grandchild!"

" it is, but why is he walking to the Xiao Clan side?"

"when they are under the Xiao Clan, and you know how that old bastard is and how he value's relationships"

Slowly the youth walked over to the testing station. Hair that was pure black, the eyes that contained grey Pupil, two claw-like weapons hanging from the waist.

" hehe, this is interesting. For the first time, I've seen a deadline this early. why is it? is it the lack of recruitment and the embarrassment that comes along with it?

" Embarrassed? haha why would we the Xiao Clan care about other's opinions? Xiao Shui calmly spoke as he looked at the youth in front of him as he continued.

" if you wanted to come and join the Xiao Clan, then come, but don't waste our time, as your trying your luck with the other clans. Now, why are you here? time's running out?

"haha, a true man, I respect that I will gladly join. The name is Kun Gai!

" good! brother Tan finish up the register and bring everyone into the testing arena" with that Xiao Shui walked into the testing arena.
