Martial School Selection

While returning to the camp he met with Captain Song and talked with him a little and then went to his bed. Next day when the sun was still up, in the military genius barrack's field, youths of the age 10-15 were all summoned, these were the youth who were trained in the military camp.

"clamour" "clamour", suddenly the loud sound of footsteps came from the other direction.

"It's General Wong's cavalry" suddenly someone from the group of youths spoke.

"Yeah, I heard that our country's most powerful martial artists are in soul sea stage and General Wong is one of such people. Soul Sea Expert!! "

As these youths were discussing, among these group of incoming soldiers there was a middle age man with a big built body and a scar across his face which made him look ferocious. Wherever he saw, these chatting group of youth suddenly became silent. This was the power of a Soul Sea expert, his amazing soul power. While gazing his eyes suddenly fell on a youth who was standing quite a distance from these group of youths. The youth was Long Chen, who was of average height but a good looking face, his clothes were clean and not too shabby and he had a common longsword behind his back. While he was watching this youth, this youth was also watching him with a smile on his face. Long Chen smile was due to him knowing General Wong personally. General Wong was the one who had seen his talent and sent him back to the genius camp.

General Wong went to the stage and looked down towards the group of youths and said, " Today all of you will be participating in the Martial school selection. There will be a lot of geniuses among them. All of you are at most of the peak of Body Tempering stage but in the selection, there will be many geniuses of ancient families or other military camps who were at Creation and gathering stages. So all of you do your best and make our Eastern Military Genius Camp proud".

"General, how many do you think from our camp will get selected," said one soldier.

Upon hearing this General Wong sighed, "It been a long time since our geniuses are selected in any martial houses. For this matter, the Emperor has been putting a lot of pressure in me. I hope that at least one of these boys get selected" after saying this his eyes fell upon Long Chen. After the General spoke, Captain Song came and described the rules for them before these group of youths departed with General Wong.

Sky Scorching City, this was the capital city of Scorching Sky Kingdom. From the eastern gate came a group of youths with a middle-aged man with a Scarface. These were the geniuses from Eastern camp. It took them about 5 days to come from the camp to the capital city which is in the heart of the Kingdom. Long Chen's eyes were staring at the big buildings and different environment which was very different from the Genius Camp.

" These are this year trashes from Eastern Camp, General Wong your camp sure has declined," said a tall and stout man who was also a soul sea expert. He was General Xie of the Western Camp. Though they are of the same Kingdom, there still exists a sharp rivalry of who could produce more geniuses. Those with more geniuses will get additional rewards from the Emperor himself. After saying this his eyes fell upon Long Chen, upon seeing Long Chen he first squinted his eyes then laughed, "General Wong, I knew that your camp is declining but I don't know that it was to this extent that you are bringing a mortal in the Martial School Selection."

Upon hearing this General Wong furrowed his brows but decided not to speak against it, as it is a good catalyst to bring these youths full power.

Sure enough, after listening to this remark of General Xia, many youths declined their head and some of them were looking at General Xia with blazing eyes.

"Brother Long, let's show these people your power. I don't like their haughty faces", said youth to Long Chen. This youth was Xia Hongyi who was one of the few who knew Long Chen very well and had seen his power.

General Wong after saying greetings to a few people went towards the selection area. The Selection arena has about 10 small stages and 4 bigger and one very big stage, a total of 15 stages. There were a lot of people gathered here, a lot of Soul Sea experts have brought their people with them. All of these people when they see, Long Chen who was void of Qi were dumbfounded just like General Xie. All these youths began chattering among themselves in their own group. General Wong was just standing there, not interacting with anyone much.

"Swish" "swish", Suddenly 10 late Soul Sea Stage expert came and stand in the stage. The leading man whose brows were like a sword, was one of the greatest experts of the country, half-step Foundation stage expert. He was the great sword cultivator of the country, Ling Feng who has reached Sword Heart realm of Sword path. Upon seeing this man, Long Chen felt something inside him happen.

Without waiting for anyone, Ling Feng suddenly said, " The Martial School Selection will now begin". After saying these he went back and an old man of late Soul Sea stage took over, he was Fu Bai, one of the teachers of the school. Fu Bai explained the rules, "For the Selection, In the 1st round we will test the age of the candidates, as we are only taking geniuses, they should be less than 15 years of age. Then for the 2nd round, we will test their Combat prowess by holding a competition. Those who are able to be in the top 100 will move towards the 3rd round. Details of the 3rd round will be told later".
