Xun Jialin!

Chapter 43: Xun Jialin!

Time was like a stream that kept flowing; soon it was time for the entrance to start.

Fang Yuan and his family reached the examination location early in the morning. Fang Hua looked sleepy as she looked around. Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she pointed at a beautiful girl not far from them.

It wasn't the girl that was the source of her attraction but the clothes she wore. She found it to be similar to what her elder brother purchased for her days ago.

Fang Yuan ignored his sister and focused on the numerous participants around him. Everyone there was his competition to get admission into a good sect.

"Brother Yuan!"

Suddenly a voice called to him, causing his entire family to look in that direction. Fang Yuan's heart almost skipped a beat when he saw the owner of the voice. He didn't wait for the boy to approach where his family was but walked in his direction.

The boy was Gu Xiang, one of the students in his gym. Fang Yuan had lied to his family about the gym, so he didn't dare risk Gu Xiang saying something he shouldn't have and causing trouble for him.

"Brother Xiang, why are you here?" Fang Yuan asked since Gu Xiang was one year younger than him.

"My cousin is also participating in the exam, so my family forced me to come here and watch it. Now that I remember, you are also participating in the exam."

Gu Xiang suddenly remembered. His relationship with Fang Yuan wasn't very close. He only called to him since he knew him as an impressive member of his gym.

"I will be cheering for you, brother Yuan; don't let the gym down."

Gu Xiang left not long after since it wasn't very far from the examination starting time.

Fang Yuan returned to his family, and before his family could ask about Gu Xiang, a bell rang in the square.

[Everyone other than the participants participating in the exam, leave the square and walk to your seats.]

A loud voice rang in the square. The federation had prepared an adequate sitting environment for the family members of the participants.

"Give your best and don't care about the results."

Fang Tian patted Fang Yuan's shoulder and then left toward the seating area. Fang Zan and Fang Hua knew the moment, so they didn't make any fuss and silently followed their parents. The entire family had expressions full of worry.

"The number of participants this year is higher than the previous three years."

Xin Hulei said, looking at the vast number of students. He had a smile on his face since the more the number of participants, the better the chances for talented cultivators to appear.

The higher the number of talented cultivators, the better grades he would receive, resulting in the allocation of more resources for him.

"Pass me the list of those special candidates."

The next moment, with a ding, files appeared on his mobile phone. Xin Hulei tapped on the files, and immediately a blue projection screen appeared containing a list of thirty names.

His eyes lit up when he saw some names on the list.

Special candidates were those participants that were focused on by the seven major sects. Being on the list didn't mean that those names were certain to get admission, but these special candidates had a higher chance of getting into any of the seven major sects.

In the best cases, one out of twenty special candidates got admission to those seven major sects, while in the worst case, no candidate succeeded in getting admission out of the list of three hundred eighty-four names.

Xin Hulei's eyes suddenly shrank in shock when he read the twenty-eighth name on the list.

"Are you sure he is participating from here?" His voice slightly trembled when he asked the question.

Even though Xin Hulei's cultivation was seventh-level Golden Core, he was still shocked by that name.

The name in question was Xun Jialin. He was the son of Xun Leixin, one of the strongest cultivators on the continent.

Despite having such a father, it was still just one of the factors for the shock. Xun Jialin was half-human, with his mother being a powerful monster.

There were many interracial couples on the continent, but only a few couples had succeeded in having progenies and Xun Leixin was one such human. The mother wasn't weak either. She was also a peak Golden Core monster with only a few competitors on the continent.

Due to his parents being of different races, Xun Jialin's bloodline had mutated. Like monsters, he had a strong physique, and similarly, like cultivators, his spirit was also strong.

Due to that, he was already in the eyes of all the seven major sects. If not for the mandated examination rule set by the federation, the seven sects would be fighting over him.

Xin Hulei was shocked to have such a participant competing from Green Bear City since the city was in no way connected to his family.

After the shock, excitement engulfed his heart. Xun Jialin was bound to get into any of the major sects, so even before the start of the examination, he already had a guaranteed major seat and the bonus associated with that.

***

The square was extremely large so even with hundreds of thousands of students, it didn't seem overcrowded.

Many students were in groups, while there were many like Fang Yuan, who stood alone. Some seemed to be very popular, and even Fang Yuan knew some due to his strolling around the market.

The center of the square was empty, but it didn't remain so for long.

Suddenly, rows of light appeared in the center, and when the light disappeared, a group of cultivators emerged. Every one of them was wearing a mask.

Fang Yuan and other students curiously looked toward them. They seemed to be there for a specific purpose, so they didn't stand still but immediately began to work.

Everyone retrieved a disk the size of a football from their space rings. The disks were of different colors, following the color of the robes worn by the masked cultivators.
