Chapter 153 - 151: Examination - Skill Is Talent

Sheng!

A sound resounded. All of a sudden, a figure shot out from the walls of the sixth floor of the pagoda like a ghost, phasing through it like an intangible ghost and plummeting at a diagonal angle. It was like a meteorite as it was engulfed by various energies.

Bam!

The elites jumped, caught off-guard as the figure smashed heavily into the ground. But there wasn’t an expected earthen crater where it landed. Instead, it was like a sandbag hitting a floor of reinforced steel. It bounced slightly and then went still.

"..." Silence reigned supreme for several seconds until the figure started to twitch. Everyone noticed the figure was covered in not just various energies but blood as well. It was like a completely blood drenched figure!Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

And it was alive!

The chubby youth with bright eyes had a dim and dark expression as he eased his way forward cautiously. After careful inspection did he exclaim, "It’s Wen Mingna!"

"Are you an idiot? Of course its her! Who else could it be?!" A burly elite shot forward and arrived beside Wen Mingna, his eyes heavy and solemn. Wen Mingna’s current condition was harsh. She was completely covered in her own blood with scars covering about seventy-percent of her body. Even her face suffered injuries. Furthermore, these energy traces weren’t qi, but legitimate elemental and weapon-type of energies. There had to be at least eight or nine types here.

"Gah..." Wen Mingna coughed out a wad of blood, clearing her throat.

The burly elite bent down and asked, "What happened?"

The chubby youth’s expression changed. "Are you an idiot? Can’t you see she’s severely injured!" Unfortunately, he didn’t have any way to solve this. He turned to ask the others, "Can anyone use healing arts?"

"I..." Wen Mingna tried to speak, but her body was battered and broken. With her qi exhausted, her spiritual energies drained, she was truly in a horrible state.

"If she recovers, she can tell us what she experienced!" The burly youth hurriedly said, afraid she would croak at any moment.

He couldn’t help but gulp loudly. If he had been careless, he could’ve died.

Wen Mingna clenched her right fist tighter as she said with a hint of unwillingness, "When I passed the fourth test, the pagoda gave me this emblem." She opened her fist and revealed the shiny silver object that, despite being wrapped in her bloody fist, was completely clean. It said: Myriad Monarch Sect - Null Disciple."

"Null Disciple? What’s that?" A youth asked. According to Fairy Blessed Spirit, didn’t she say there were only five disciples?

"It’s the equivalent to an honorary disciple!" Wen Mingna answered through gritted teeth.

"A servant disciple?" The burly youth was shocked. Passing the fourth test was merely enough to become a servant of the sect? While honorary disciples sounded nice, they were just servants who worked, not official disciples. All the young elites here knew that.

Wei Wuyin had gotten his start as an honorary disciple in the Scarlet Solaris Sect. If he heard this, he would’ve treated it as an entry ticket and nothing more. After all, your future limits were based on yourself. But the various high-born youths here were disgruntled and in disbelief.

In the end, a few were happy that as long as they were capable of passing the fourth test, they wouldn’t be killed but sent out of the pagoda with an emblem.

"The talented are the skilled. This is such a hard criteria. If what you say is true, then even a first stage cultivator at the Qi Condensation Realm could pass these examinations as long as they were skilled enough." The chubby youth extrapolated the true point of the test.

A few felt certain that they could pass these tests, especially now that they knew about it.

"But...would the tests be the same for everyone?" A scholarly-looking youth with glasses asked with a tinge of uncertainty.

"..."

That’s right...different cultivation levels, ages, even gender could influence the tests. A creeping fear of the unknown unexpectedly swelled in their hearts. To determine this, others had to enter. However, if the test was different or more difficult for them because their cultivation bases or their ages were higher than wouldn’t their fates be unfortunate?

Long Chen gazed at the Myriad Nascent Dao Pagoda. A determined look emerged in his eyes as he looked towards the horizon Xiang Ling and the other took off in. ’I’ll succeed, and then I’ll meet you again.’

Wen Mingna was a mess of emotions, but as she held the emblem in her hand, a wisp of resolute determination entered her heart. If she had to start low, then so be it. The examination only proved she was far from a normal disciple, but she was in a new world, and as long as she worked extra hard, she’ll definitely reach greater heights!

She wouldn’t give up; she can’t ever give up.
