Democracy In A Cultivation World

Chapter 29 - The Examination

Majid added this girl Lu Riena at the top of his not to approach list, a young master is one young master, but getting one move wrong with this girl is like stirring up a nest of arrogant young masters and a mob of admirers. Well, it's not like I would have anything to do with here, but I'm the MC after all who knows.

After a 2 hour or so the school doors closed and The School Headmaster came with 8 people to his side, the fuss died out that the wind sounded as if he was in a desolate land. He was away at a corner so he couldn't see the Headmaster clearly, but his voice reached everyone as he made small encouraging words before he disappeared inside again. Leaving the scene for the other people, they presented themself as the 4 hall masters and royal guards responsible for the 4 examinations, the Devine Lotus Sect Hall Master took the lead explaining the details, everyone then was invited to follow one of the Hall Masters to the respective examination hall.

[Quest]

Succeed on entering the school.

Reward: free choice low level.

Special reward: free choice mid to high level.

- recruited by one of the sects

Up until now, Majid didn't make up his mind, he could count as mid-level in both toughness and vitality if he adds those to his 5 levels he could pass as 6th realm genius. But now he made up his mind, it been so long since he got this reward, it disappeared without a trace these past 3 months.

Divine Lotus Sect was risky, so Majid he decides to go with Divine Hammer Sect, the latter wasn't that bad either, it was the second power after all. He could give up some of the resources, but he couldn't risk his main goal of getting a backer. With its lower standers compared to the Divine Lotus, it was guaranteed that he would make it. If his business worked well, he could make resources for himself. And maybe he could find a way to craft his precious bone into a saber, from the crafting techniques of the sect. Its been long since he got over the moral dilemma, swinging this human bone around, it wouldn't take him long to join the bones ranks if he dwelled on these small things. He even regretted leaving the other pieces behind, he could have made a complete set from them.

"Ok see you later brother Caolu, take care," unfortunately Caolu was aiming for the Iron Tortoise Sect, so each of them joined their respective group. The Iron Tortoise group was the biggest, as it was the lowest standard, with around 5000 candidates. The least, of course, was the Devine Lotus with less than a hundred. His group was around a 600 candidate, marched toward the Divine Hammer Hall, northwest of the central hall, it was a wide building with double green roofs one on to of the other, many big pillars with intricate carving were at the entrance. outside the hall some disciples were lined up in some areas, likely organizing different examinations subjects, there were different arrays and memorial like structures on each area.

The hall master explained each area specialty before he went inside with the royal guard, one area for the senses with 7 capacity, for the 5 senses, the soul and reflexes, one area for strenth and agility capable of testing 10 people at once. One needs to hit the center of the array to test the strength, surprisingly all the Flesh' levels are tested with the same way. you either use your legs or hand to hit, the punch has the added strength of the torso and legs, so it can determine whether the Flesh Torso Level is trained or not. For the toughness levels, there's one area with 10 capacity as well, skin and bones toughness is tested with some special needles. Finally, special medicine pills to tests the viscera.

27 candidates got their tokens and devised into testing areas, witch it should be 28, but no one got into the viscera testing area. It seemed like it was the highlight as everyone was looking either expectantly or anxiously at the viscera area.

A lot of this first batch was special, some of them wearing the same, a dark gray robes, with bronze divine hammer on their back, especially one with similar design but an elegant robe with a brilliance to it fit on his stocky body, in contrast with his young square face, his big lips on his chin was held high as if looking down on everyone present.

"...That's the young master Song bi of the Divine Hammer sect…"

"He one of the geniuses of the younger generation, I heard he's in the fifth realm…"

"He can't compare to Lu Reina, she's already in 6th realm"

"Even the young master of the Blazing Sword is stronger"

"Shhh, are you tired of living…"

Though Caolu went for Iron Turtle, there were many candidates gossiping around, so he updated his blacklist again. After the first batch finished their tests, 3 of them finally got to the Viscera area and took the medicine, while another batch replaced them. Everyone was looking at the 3 from the first batch, but other than their face that turned red, nothing special happened, many of the candidates looked disappointed. The exam continued, and after some time Majid lost interest and started to think. Instead, he flowed Song Bi as he heard more murmurs, the boy was pumping his c.h.e.s.t to the extreme as he heard compliments from the examiner and the gossiping mob.

"Wow, he's almost a 6th realm, just lacking another stage, he's not that Lu Reina, or Go Jido"

"Yeah indeed I underestimated him"

"What do you know, the other might be nearing the 7th realm as well"

Majid didn't care about that all he cared about that he would make it since the top genius of the Divine Hammar was a 5th realm. Suddenly, in between the anxious mood that dominated the area, a Fart reverberated the area. the area roared with a burst of laughter. Even the examiner was laughing to his heart's content, Majid couldn't but join into the fun as well as he followed the origin of the sound. A boy was blue still trying his hardest to hold himself in the viscera area. He finally understood what's special about that exam. It looks like some weak candidates can let some air escape, due to the pressure the Medicine exert on their viscera.

The examination continued, and it seemed that 5th Realm was indeed a rarety, already half the contestant passed yet no other one was to be found. Most candidates barely made it to the 4th realm or missed it by a little. The second stage ones were few and far in between, and rarely some 3th or 4th stage of the 4th Realm appeared were recruited by the sect. And finally, Majid turn comes he played it moderately as his power exceeds the norms, hitting a 5th realm square, it was enough to make a sensation. Even though he didn't give it his all he got into the scope of that Young Master Song bi, he felt that latter gave him murderous stares. What the hell you scored better what are looking at me for, this MF.

"Your talent isn't bad, do you want to be part of my Sect, you would be temporarily my disciple until graduation or a master or an elder of the Sect take you in." Song Fanli looked at him with an enamored smile that it gave him the chills.

"This disciple understands,"

"Remove that hood and let me take a good look at you."

The heck, am I your bride, damn it, but at least with this, I finally made it. Majid took off his hood, his shiny bald head lit the area. Song bi smiling remained as if he's waiting for something, don't tell me he wants me to kowtow. No no, I'm just paranoid, yeah I have to say something right. He bowed a little bit cupping his hand in front of him, just as he was about to accept him as his masters, murmurs stirred more murmurs as it made their ways to Majid's ears turning into a clamor.

"Yeah, it's him,"

"I heard of it, but apparently he was wearing some shabby clothes, looking like a homeless."

"No no, it's not him, why would a Cloud Temple Disciple be here."

"What!" suddenly Song Bi came running and murmured to the Hall Master Fanli.

"Tell him to came here," Elder Fanli shouted impatiently.

"Came here," Song bi looked at part of the crowd and pointed with his hand. A boy came running greed all over his face and stood bowing his head in front of Elder Song Fanli. it was a good chance to get close to 2 important personnel of the Devine Hammer Sect.

"Are you sure he's the one," Song Fanli looked at him intently.

the boy looked at Majid and nodded his head, he recounted what happened that day briefly,"... no doubt it respected Hall Master, many of the mortals kowtowed for him that day, so I get a good look at his face,"

"What did you say, he's a Core Expert," Song Fanli looked at Majid with a wide smile, "you, did you hide your level during the examination."

"I'm self-learned, I spend most of my time cultivating as I don't have Martial Techniques, so it seems my meridians grows faster than my body tempering, thus I have a strong aura."

"What a waste, I thought I found a genius," the on his smile disappeared, replaced with a cold look.

"So are you from the Cloud Temple Sect, heh" loathing apparent on his tone.

"No, respected Hall Master, I don't dare to-"

"We from the Divine Hammer Sect follow the esteemed Cloud Temple Sect, yet we don't dare borrow its name, How dare you pretend you're from the Great Sect,"

"I never claimed I'm from the Cloud Temple, maybe they assumed it themselves," Majid's voice got solemn, this guy looks like he's trying to make a big deal of this matter.

"And why didn't you correct them, it is obvious you pretended to be from the Great Sect. This is blasphemy, take him to the dungeon and wait for my arrival ..." the elder dismissed with his hands.

"Elder Song why don't we gave him a chance to ask for forgiveness, why don't you kowtow like what you forced the people to do, maybe the Elder can forgive you if you showed some sincerity." Song Bi was gloating in his misery, how dare a mere commoner to compare to him. Majid on the other hand lamented, it was indeed the thing you feared the most end up happening like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"Elder, that day I was threatened by 2 core expert, isn't it more important that some lawless gangs are wreaking havoc, ruining the reputation of the city, even if for the sake of the argument, I knew they thought I'm from the Great Sect, should I have corrected them so they kill me..."

"That's not my problem, take him," as he looked at some disciples.

"Yes elder this animal isn't showing any remorse he needs a harsh punishment," I'm not done with you yet, wait until the dungeons, he eyes grew vicious by the second.

Majid's eyes turned cold, these people really. He never meddled with people of power before, and never wanted to. Here he tried his hardest not to attract their attention yet these people end up finding the slightest excuse to step on people. I even let c.o.c.kroach alone if they left me alone, yet to this guys, I'm less than an insect. If that is the case why the hell I'm I trying my hardest to consider this mfs, it looks like the nicer you're the harder they crash you. He yanked his hands free from the two disciples that surrounded him.

"Indeed that's not your problem, so why are you throwing your weight around. I'm a subject of the royal sect so how dare you treat me as if I'm yours, as if you're the king of the land. , I seek justice from you, Honored Royal Guard" Majid walked toward the Royal Guard and bowed his head.

Majid never thought that he gonna associate himself with this damned kingdom, as if he's a proud citizen, but it was his only hope now. If this man fails him as well, his life might reach its end here like a joke.
