The matches in the Celestial Harmony Sect continued, and tension hung in the air. The participants were becoming more ruthless and desperate to win; some were even resorting to dirty tactics to gain the upper hand. The battles became increasingly violent, with beasts attacking their tamers or even turning on their opponents.
The senior disciples watched with concern as the matches progressed. They had hoped that the battles would promote harmony and cooperation between beast and tamer, but some participants seemed more interested in their own personal gain.
Many cultivators were disqualified from the matches for breaking the rules or using prohibited techniques. Some of the more reckless participants were even attacked by their own beasts, who had become wild and uncontrollable due to their tamer's lack of skill or discipline.
The beasts themselves were also becoming increasingly dangerous. Some of them were not properly trained or disciplined by their tamers, leading to disobedience or even outright rebellion. The senior disciples were becoming worried about the safety of the participants and the audience.
Despite the chaos and violence, some cultivators managed to maintain a sense of discipline and control over their beasts. These participants were often the ones who had formed strong bonds with their beasts and worked together with them as a team. They had spent hours training and cultivating their skills, both as tamers and as warriors.
As the remaining matches came to a close, the remaining participants waited in anticipation of the senior disciple's announcement. The arena was filled with tension and excitement as everyone wondered who would be accepted into the prestigious Celestial Harmony Sect.
Finally, the senior disciple stepped forward, his eyes scanning the crowd. "Congratulations to all of you for finishing the final test," he said, his voice ringing out across the arena. "I am impressed by your skills and dedication to your beasts."
The participants looked at each other nervously, unsure of what was to come. The senior disciple paused for a moment, his eyes scanning the crowd once more before continuing.
"And now, for those who have been accepted into the Celestial Harmony Sect, please step forward," he announced.
The crowd erupted into cheers as several participants stepped forward, a look of joy and pride on their faces. They had worked hard to make it this far, and now their efforts had finally paid off.
The senior disciple smiled at them, his eyes filled with pride. "Congratulations to all of you," he said, "You have shown great promise and dedication, and I am honoured to welcome you into our sect."
The crowd nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of hope and determination rise within them. They had all faced their fair share of setbacks and failures, but they were determined to continue on their path as cultivators.
The senior disciple's eyes gleamed with pride as he turned towards the newly accepted members. The sense of achievement and anticipation hung thick in the air. This was a significant moment in their lives, and everyone could feel the weight of the occasion.
"I want to congratulate each and every one of you for finishing the final test and for being accepted into our Celestial Harmony Sect," the senior disciple said, his voice ringing with authority. "You have all shown strength, courage, and dedication in your training, and you have earned your place among us."
The newly accepted members beamed with pride, basking in the senior disciple's praise. They had worked hard for this moment, and now they were finally being recognized for their efforts.
The senior disciple continued, "You will now be escorted back to your homes to prepare yourselves for your new life within our sect. Tomorrow morning, our disciples will come to pick you up and bring you to your new home inside the sect."
The members nodded, excitement bubbling within them. This was a new beginning for them, a chance to learn and grow in ways they could never have imagined.
"Your time here in the Celestial Harmony Sect will be challenging but also rewarding," the senior disciple continued. "You will learn new skills, meet new people, and face challenges that will push you to your limits. But through it all, you will have the support and guidance of our experienced disciples and elders."
The senior disciple's words were met with nods of agreement from the newly accepted members. They were ready for whatever challenges lay ahead, knowing that they had the support of the Celestial Harmony Sect behind them.
As the newly accepted disciples were being escorted to their respective homes, Orion found himself approached by the senior disciple. The man's expression was warm and friendly, and he looked pleased to see Orion.
"Orion," he said, "I have some good news for you. We have settled the issue with your sister's old school, and we welcome her to join us here at the Celestial Harmony Sect."
Orion felt a wave of relief wash over him at the senior disciple's words. He had been worried that his sister might not be able to join him at the sect, and he was grateful to hear that everything had been sorted out.
"Thank you, senior disciple," he said, a smile spreading across his face. "I'm glad to hear that."
The senior disciple smiled back at him. "Of course, we want to support our disciples and their families in any way we can," he said. "Your sister will be welcome here, just like you."
Orion felt a sense of gratitude towards the senior disciple. The man had been kind to him from the beginning, and he had always felt he could trust him. He knew that the senior disciple had his best interests at heart and was grateful for his guidance.
"I appreciate your help," Orion said. "I'll make sure to bring her here tomorrow."
The senior disciple nodded. "Good," he said. "We look forward to welcoming her to our sect."
Orion watched as the senior disciple walked away, his thoughts turning to his sister. He was excited to have her join him at the sect, and he knew that she would thrive there. He was determined to support her in any way he could, just as the senior disciple had supported him.
