Chapter 512 Sect Recruitment (2)



All of the members of the different sects looked at this group with knitted brows.

But then all of them couldn't help revealing strange looks as the pressure on them disappeared.

It had disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, almost as if it had never been there.

However, they had clearly felt it.

For a second there, there was the pressure of a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.

The Love Sect did have Soul Formation Realm Cultivators before, but those cultivators had been killed when the Love Sect had been destroyed.

There was no way that the enemies of the Love Sect would allow any experts to escape to take revenge, so even the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators of the past Love Sect should have been killed.

So where did this new Love Sect get a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator?

Was it someone that joined them or was it someone that escaped from the past Love Sect?

A Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator was a completely different story since that was the sign of a middle rank sect. Those sects that had a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator were high rank sects.

These sects that had come were only low rank sects and middle rank sects.

They either only had a single Nascent Soul Realm or none at all.

So if the Love Sect had a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, just how were they supposed to appeal to it?

They had thought that they could use the strength of their sects to build a bridge, but that didn't seem possible anymore.

The more that they thought about this, the more that the members of the various sects started to despair.

All they could do now was wait and observe to see if there were any chances for them.

After Lin Fan and the elders reached the stage, Lin Fan was the one that came forward to say, "Welcome everyone to our Love Sect's first sect recruitment. We hope that you will all have success today and if not, we hope that you will work hard to get into our Love Sect in the future."

Everyone couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with a strange look when they heard his speech.

That was because this was a speech that they had never heard before.

Most speeches that sect masters gave would be powerful and filled with prestige, but this one...it almost seemed fluffy with the way that Lin Fan said this.

It didn't have the same power that one would normally expect from a sect master.

With this one speech, Lin Fan had thrown a wrench into the plans of everyone here since he was a kind of person that they couldn't see through.

But Lin Fan didn't know what to say, so he had just stolen his principal's speech for when they had a big exam.

He had thought that it would be good enough...but it clearly wasn't something that everyone was familiar with.

Senior Brother Ying and the other elders couldn't help revealing strange looks on their faces after hearing this speech.

They had allowed Lin Fan to come up with his own speech because they knew that this would have the best effect. If they just gave him a speech instead of letting him say his own, it wouldn't be able to bring out his essence as a sect master.

But this...was definitely not what they had expected.

So after a while, Senior Brother Ying gave Lin Fan the signal to cut it short.

Lin Fan was surprised to receive this signal, but he didn't waste any time in wrapping this speech up since this was something that they had already decided on.n))o)-V.(e(-l)-B--1(.n

Though he couldn't help feeling that his speech was quite good...

After Lin Fan had finished his speech, that was all for him.

If the sect master personally presided over the sect recruitment, that would be putting his position too low. A sect master had to preside over this instead of personally taking charge.

So Senior Brother Ying came forward as the elder in charge.

With a wave of his hand, the array that had been blocking off the mountain was suddenly released.

Once that array was released, Senior Brother Ying said, "All of you that wish to join the Love Sect, this is your first trial that is starting now. Make it up the mountain and reach the peak. As long as you can reach the peak, you will have passed the first trial. However, there is a time limit. If you can't reach the peak by the end of the day, you will be disqualified."

Senior Brother Ying kept talking, but there were a few that started to move once they heard that there was nothing of concern that he was saying.

At this point, he was just stalling by saying as much as he could.

Eventually, the rest caught onto the trick and started going up the mountain while Senior Brother Ying was still talking.

That is...except for a single person.

When Senior Brother Ying saw that most of the people were gone and only this person was left, he wrapped up his speech and looked at this person. He looked at him with a strange look before asking, "Why didn't you go with the others?"

This person was a strict looking young man who had been standing at attention the entire time. When Senior Brother Ying asked him this question, this young man just calmly said, "Because the elder hadn't finished speaking yet. It wouldn't be right to leave before the elder finished speaking."

Senior Brother Ying couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

This young man...really followed the rules strictly.

Even though it should have been clear that Senior Brother Ying was stalling, he still listened to the end.

After all, Senior Brother Ying had said in the beginning, "This is your first trial that is starting now."

The moment that he said that, they were free to go up the mountain.

Some had picked up on this early and some had realized this afterwards, but all of them had realized this in the end and had gone up the mountain.

It was only this strict young man who had stayed here the entire time.

After shaking his head with a bitter smile, Senior Brother Ying said, "I guess I should reward you for listening to me to the end. Now, what should I reward you with?"

After thinking about it for a bit, Senior Brother Ying threw out a token to the strict looking young man and said, "Take this. It should be of use to you in the future, but I won't tell you how it's used. That will be up to you to find out."

The strict looking young man looked down at the token in his hand before calmly putting it away.

Senior Brother Ying couldn't help being surprised again by this.

In the end, he couldn't help asking, "Aren't you going to start? If you take too long, you'll run out of time to get up the mountain."

The strict looking young man cupped his hands to Senior Brother Ying before saying, "Thank you for your concern, elder, but it won't be a problem."

With that, he turned to face the foot of the mountain and in one step...he shot forward.

By the time that anyone could react, this young man was bursting up the mountain and was out of sight.

Senior Brother Ying had a surprised look on his face at first, but then he suddenly revealed a wide smile.

He had already felt that there was something special about this young man and now that he saw this, he was certain that there was something special about him.

After that young man was gone, Senior Brother Ying went over to the others and said, "Don't fight me for him. That one is mine."

All of them revealed smiles after hearing this.

"Didn't senior brother already plan on taking him by giving him that token?"

"You didn't even give us a chance and you claimed him right away."

"That truly was a shameless move."

Senior Brother Ying just said with a wide smile, "The early bird gets the worm."

The others all shook their heads with smiles on their faces, but they turned back to the arrays in front of them.

These were special arrays that they had set up that would allow them to monitor the kids as they took the exam.

At the same time, there were larger versions of this array that was set up in the open area for everyone to see.

They wanted everyone to see the quality of the disciples they would be recruiting into the Love Sect so they could see that the Love Sect was not a place to mess with.

As they watched, there were clear forerunners that started showing themselves.

These were kids that had great talent for cultivation, kids that sects would normally fight over.

Until now, the Love Sect had to rely on orphans to make up their disciple population.

While there were still cultivation talents among these orphans, it wasn't as if there were that many of them among these orphans.

They were orphans for a reason.

So they had to make do with what they could get.

But with the current fame of the Love Sect, there were many that came to join and many of them were geniuses that they would love to have as disciples.

It seemed that the sect recruitment this time would give them very good results.

At the same time, they could see the looks of envy on the faces of the people from the other sects.
