17 Li Tian’s Choice 2

When Headmaster Liu Fei Ge spoke about Prime Elder Lan You Tian being interested in Jiang Rou Xuan, every outer disciple present was surprised from the news. Prime Elder Lan You Tian was ranked as the number one Prime Elder out of the entire School of Sword Arts. He was second behind the Great Elder of the school of Sword Arts. This was the first time that Lan You Tian express any interest in taking in a disciple.

Jiang Rou Xuan looked at the middle aged man standing behind the Headmaster. His expression was calm and showed no haughtiness. When Lan You Tian smiled at Rou Xuan, his heavenly looks could kill an entire city. As it was time to make a decision, Jiang Rou Xuan answered: "I choose to be under the tutorship of Prime Elder Lan You Tian."

Lan You Tian nodded back in acknowledgment. After watching the battles of his new pupil, You Tian knew that he had picked up a gem, an outright bright and shiny gem. She would grow up to be someone of great presence in the cultivation world. Of course, that was all in the future.

Jiang Rou Lang watched his younger sister get accepted as a direct disciple to an Elder. His heart twisted in jealousy. Why does she get the chance to be a direct disciple when I have a higher cultivation level than her? Since young, mother and father never prioritised what I wanted and would only give Rou Xuan everything. Even now, I was forced to be her bodyguard when I am in school!

Jiang Rou Lang clenched his fists and teeth tightly. All these went unnoticed by everyone as the selection process carried on.

"Now, in third place, Liu Fei Ling. You are given the options of all school disciplines. To add on, Prime Elder Hong Wei Lin of the school of Hidden Weapons has expressed interest in taking you under her tutorship. You may decide now."

Another commotion blew through the training dust fields. The other powerhouse Prime Elder Hong Wei Lin, she was currently the number one Prime Elder in the school of Hidden Weapons. Rumours said that she was soon going to take over their late Great Elder, whom unfortunately, disappeared after entering a World Fragment. Elder Hong Wei Lin's power was not to be trifled with, coupled with her strong personality, many male elders were scared of her too.

Liu Fei Ling looked up at the female Prime elder that had her eyes on him. Fei Ling knew that if his goal were to seek for his mysterious master, there was a need to grow stronger. And even though the Liu Family opposes any of their members from learning other Art Styles than Sword Arts, he knew it was for the best of him. After all, his heart never laid in improving his Sword Arts.

"I choose to be taught under Prime Elder Hong Wei Lin." Fei Ling looked up at his new teacher, bowing slightly with respect.

Hearing that the short statured boy had accepted her as his teacher, Hong Wei Lin walked away from the viewing platform, out of sight from the other outer disciples. Squatting down weakly, her face blushed in excitement.

"Ahh! The cute boy is actually under me now! I am so excited! Hehehehe…"

"…" A chill went down their spines when the other elders saw the current strongest Elder in the school of Hidden Weapons act like this. It was very unsettling.

"In second place, Luo Zhang Yang. You are also given the options of all school disciplines. To add on, Prime Elder Tie Bo Yun of the school of Fist Arts has expressed interest in taking you under his tutorship. You may decide now."

Although Tie Bo Yun wasn't the strongest Prime Elder in the school of Fist Arts, he was definitely the most hardworking and dedicated cultivator of Fist Arts. It was said that the man didn't have the word 'rest' in his dictionary. Working from morning till night and to only repeat it the very next day, it was a life filled with only training.

"I choose Prime Elder Tie Bo Yun."

"Good choice!" Elder Tie Bo Yun shouted out with rigour. It didn't take a genius to know that Luo Zhang Yang would have went for the Prime Elder choice. After all, both of them were Fist Art fanatics.

"Finally, in first place, Wang Li Tian."

From the past few fights, every disciple had come to realise that this boy was not to be trifled with. Having defeated many people of higher cultivation than him, Li Tian could already be considered a monster. Those that were there on the day of the Selection examination had already spread the news that their first place holder this time round, had a Trash Spiritual Root. This meant that their rate of cultivation was far slowly and more arduous than others. The fact that he could still win the Selection test, proved that he was someone of great strength.

"Wang Li Tian, you are given the options of all school disciplines. To add on, Prime Elder Long Tang Yun of the school of Artificing has expressed interest in taking you under his tutorship. You may decide now."

When everyone heard the options that were given to Wang Li Tian, the disciples were completely floored by it. Why was the number one youth not wanted by Prime Elder Lan You Tian. It could even be said that Wang Li Tian clearly displayed better skills in Sword Arts than Jiang Rou Xuan. All that boy was left with now, was to enter the School of Sword Arts and learn by himself. Once he could prove himself again, there may be a chance of getting the acknowledgements from other Prime Elders. That was what everyone thought as the best option for Wang Li Tian.

What came next was completely opposite was everyone's thought process.

"I choose Prime Elder Long Tang Yun." Wang Li Tian said it out clearly, without an ounce of disappointment from his options.

"What?!?!?!" Everyone was dumbfounded by Li Tian's choice.
