Vol 1, Chapter 20: Sect Examination


TL: G.o.dspell

Some people are rejoicing in pa.s.sing the test.

Also, some people, because of not getting pa.s.sed in the examination are crying out loud for their elimination.

On the wide square platform, a scene of life and tragedy is going on.

Ding Hao quickly arrived at outside of the name registration office.

Here the Five major tests are done. First is the ‘Skeletal Age Test’ place, only after through Skeletal Age Bone Test, if the true age which is determined is not more than 15 years old, then only one has the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the next test, in order to avoid wasting the time.

A white-haired elder wearing a silver robe is calmly sitting in a rocking chair and is gazing at the a.s.sessment going in the registration office.

Dozens of young boys dressed in red and black robes, each wearing a spiked ring on their fingers, are collecting a drop of blood from every applicant"s body. After a slight distinction, they reported their true age.

"13 years old, qualified!"

"9 years old, qualified!"

"16 years old, unqualified!" 

"21 years old ... This uncle, you are so old, but also went to give the test, unqualified!"

"15-and-a-half years old, unqualified!" 

Each and every disciple, like a very strict judge, are performing their duties, announcing aloud the fate of each of the applicants.

After a fellow guy who attempts to pa.s.s the test under a false age was seen through, some people had diligently left, or some people start begging, some people even shed bitter tears, but without any sympathy according to the rules they still will not be accepted as a disciple under Inquiring Sword Sect"s, if they create troubles, then they will be directly be thrown out from the mountain  by the hands of Inquiring Sword Sect"s disciple.  

Ding Hao sigh unceasingly.

He queued up quickly and arrived at the front.

Behind the black wooden table, probably about a 20-year-old boy, without any change in his expression looked one at Ding Hao asking lazily; "Stretch your arm, right arm, hurry up." 

Ding Hao just lifted his right arm, feel like his small arm as if is stung by a bee producing a tiny hemp on his arm.

So fast!

The strength of these Disciples seriously is immeasurably deep, Ding Hao is clearly not able to see any movement done by the opposite party. 

"14-and-a-half years old, qualified!" Unrestrained the disciple first looked one at the color of the ring, then makes his judgments, hints that Ding Hao had Pa.s.sed.

Ding Hao finally become relaxed. 

Jealousy is filled in the eyes of others, Ding Hao finally arrived in front of the next wooden table quickly, again in the hand of another Inquiring Sword Sect disciple, he received one wooden hand-plate solely belonging to him and then quickly depart.

The quality of the material of the wooden hand plate is fine, it shows that Ding Hao is now certified to partic.i.p.ates in other following four tests, at the same an ancient Yang sword seal is carved on the wooden plate and on the other side is carving 9989 digits.  

It clearly represents that Ding Hao is the ninth person that had pa.s.sed the test of age distinction.

Every year tens of thousands of young people will come to the Inquiring Sword Sect to partic.i.p.ate in the Sect Examination, but people that can eventually pa.s.s through the six big tests, then only they can become an Inquiring Sword Sect Outer Court Disciple, from 2000 people, the intensity of compet.i.tion, it can be imagined.

Moreover, what needs to point out that from the 2000 people who will become an Inner Court Disciple, that will be carried out in the Second examination after six months of painstakingly practising cultivation, only after going through this test, one can remove out the Outer character, and finally becomes a true Inquiring Sword Sect"s disciple, if later cannot adopt the test, then as a result will be expelled from the sect.

Obviously, in this World, the path of becoming a Martial Pract.i.tioner, is entirely covered with thorns.


………………..


More than 10 minutes later, Ding Hao with his hand plate, arrived at the second place for the Test.

This is the "Attribute Exam".

In Endless Continent, Martial Pract.i.tioner cultivates profound qi, which is further divided into Five Attributes. 

The purpose of this test is to help the disciples in the future so that they can make a correct choice while selecting a cultivation technique from various techniques provided by the sect to clarify which is suitable for them.

Of course, you can also test out a person"s cultivation talent.

The more the pure is the attribute, the more is the road broad for the future cultivation aspects for a disciple, and if the attribute is more complex means weak, it means that the road of cultivation ahead is very difficult.

There are a lot of people on this attribute test site.

At the very center of the site, there are more than 10 blue stones altar build at the centre of the stage, each with a width of two meters long and 20 meters long a blue stone table, on the table there is an oval shaped egg stone  is placed and a total of six  stones are placed in turn, the following stones are divided into; metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, with each rareity of these Attribute are placed in an order and each of their colors is respectively different from one another.

Behind the stone table, there are six elders in silver robes to supervise the test.

Majority of the Elders are old people, it seems a gust of wind can blow them down, but there seems to be a very extremely fearful aura around them, similarly as if an ancient looking mountain is producing a very dense, fearful pressure, makes one heart beat rapidly, making all people obediently queued up to accept the test, no one dare to produce even a slight bit of disturbance.

But these dozens of disciples wearing red black-edged robes, their aura also does not seems to be weak, they are busy judging, announcing and recording various test results.

After Skeletal Age Examination, these people had lined up around a stone table, first handing over their nameplate, after their serial number is recorded, they are able to pa.s.s through the following stone table, in turn, followed by placing both hands on the six huge smooth Stone Egg, which results in the emitting of a ray from the stone shaped egg, showing what type of Attribute that he had got, but it all depends on whether the ray is strong or weak, which shows whether the Attribute is pure or not and the intensity of the light is the purity of the Attribute.

"No. 765 Zhang Fan, Metal Attribute D-Rank....."

"No. 894 Lie Fei, Earth Attribute B-Rank."

"No. 1467 Wu Mochou, Fire Attribute C-Rank......"

"No. 2250 Cao Yan, Water Attribute A-Rank!"   

As the ray of light sparkles from Stone Egg, at the side the disciple judging the test at the same time loudly announcing the fate of all these peoples, some people like before are happy and some are worrying as before.

Especially No. 2250 Cao Yan, a 13-year-old youngster dressed in Chinese clothing, after hearing the result, excitedly shouting out from his lungs and simultaneously hugging both his parents, a Water Attribute with an A- Rank result is absolutely counted as a genius.

Similarly judged, Metal Attribute D Rank Zhang Fan, a 14-and-a-half years old, appearance ordinary, from a Hunting Household, wearing an obsolete looking leather armor, obviously his family background is poor, being accompanied by a few looking alike hunters.

Hearing the verdict, he and his several companions were all showing worried faces.

Such Talent can only end. 

If one did not do well during the following tests, this Zhang Fan, only feared that they have no chances of entering the  Inquiring Sword Sect again, henceforth missing the opportunity to learn Martial Dao. 

At this moment 

"Well, how you are also here?" saying this as if the opposite party suddenly had realized something once again exclaiming in a loud voice he said: "You are also partic.i.p.ating in the test...... Originally you were not a disciple of Inquiring Sword Sect?" 

Ding Hao looked up.

Actually seeing the young lord from the Cyan Yang Town, after their casual acquaintance three days ago at the base of the mountain beside the Cleansing Sword Pool, turning his head to look at the opposite party expression seeing he is not angry but instead is showing a surprised expression. 

Ding Hao shows a faint smile, has not explained anything. 

"Ha Ha, on that day we were really deceived by your this little fella." Xiao Chengxuan laughs, his personality is not same as the other young masters but he is actually also a bit straightforward, seems he is not angry. 

During their conversation, Xiao Chengxuan arrived around the stone table. 

This Cyan Yang Town Young Lord has handed out his nameplate over to the disciple, then arrived around the First Stone Egg had confidently directly placed both his hands according to the above instance, a wisp of shining sharp brilliance shot up in the sky, which is more than ten meters long, flashing in every person"s eye, this bright light, suddenly alerted countless people.

Martial Pract.i.tioner cultivate(s) profound qi,
