Nobilis of War novel Chapter 17

Jimmy grew delighted over Darren's mention of the seventh level of the Meridians Refining Scripture. 'Have I just discovered a genius who has the talent of the Black Degree for the sect?' he excitedly thought.

'If this is true, I will certainly be rewarded for it. Moreover, it would also be beneficial for me to make friends with such a genius.'

"Brother, do you need me to practice the seventh level of the Meridians Refining Scripture for you to see?" Darren asked. Jimmy was still recovering from being so worked up by his thoughts that he was a bit caught by surprise with Darren.

"There's no need, Darren," he said, smiling as he waved his hands. "Let me just report this to the elders and ask for their instructions."

Having discovered a genius who seemed to have the talent of the Black Degree was important news that needed to be immediately delivered to the elders. Jimmy took out a Jade Slip and sent a message to the Ilmen Sect.

A few moments later, Jimmy got a reply saying that an elder from the Ilmen Sect would be sent out to check and confirm whether his claim was true or not.

Expecting that it would most likely take some time for the elder to arrive at the Chu Clan, Jimmy turned to the rest of the disciple candidates from the Chu Clan and said to them, "You guys continue to do the next test first."

Soon after, an ancient door appeared next to them. It was the door that led to the one-of-a-kind test room of the Ilmen Sect.

The door opened with a creaking sound. The room was dark and pitch black. One couldn't help but be mystified.

"Amazing! How extraordinary! What a treasure! By going through the door, people can get into another space which has been specially set up for the test of the Ilmen Sect," came a candidate's amazed remarks. They couldn't help feeling surprised by the greatness of the whole thing.

"Go through the door. Although, you should all know that not everyone would be fortunate to pass the test. Good luck, candidates," Jimmy indifferently said to the rest of the disciple candidates from the Chu Clan. He didn't care about whether they would pass the test or not anymore.

Nicholas and the other candidates all walked into the test room with low spirits. They knew that even if they were able to pass the test, they would not be able to attract people's attention as much as Darren did.

They just couldn't accept it. Not at all. The second test had not even started and yet Darren had already got the qualification to enter the sect. They had no idea how he came from being a good-for-nothing to basically a genius. There wasn't any doubt that this fact made them feel depressed.

"And as for you, Darren, there will be an elder coming over to test you. Just try to give it your best. It's entirely possible that you might have the talent of the Black Degree!" Jimmy said, grinning from ear to ear.

Hearing this from Jimmy, the other members of the Chu Clan started to chatter among themselves, each of them getting restless.

"An Ilmen Sect elder makes an appearance at the Chu Clan! This has never happened before!"

A group of Chu Clan elders nearby were having a discussion. Several of them kept stealing glances over at Darren every now and then as it went on.
