"Yuan? What are you waiting for?" Wang Ming asked after noticing that he was just standing there.
"I'm waiting for a friend of mine," he said.
Five minutes after Yuan contacted Xiao Hua, two figures could be seen soaring through the sky above the square for the disciple examination.
"Oh, there she is." Yuan looked up and watched as Xiao Hua descended right beside him with Min Li, who looked a little shocked. fгeewebnovёl.com
"Brother Yuan!" Xiao Hua immediately went to hug him even before her feet touched the ground.
"Once again, sorry for leaving you behind, Xiao Hua." Yuan said with a bittersweet smile.
"Who's that?" Wang Ming asked with raised eyebrows.
"This is Xiao Hua, she's the first friend I made in this world." Yuan introduced her to the others.
"Oooh, how cute!" Wang Bingbing stared at Xiao Hua with glitters in her eyes.
"Anyways, where are the others? The examination should be starting soon." Yuan asked them.
"Who knows. There's too many people here to tell." Shi Lang shrugged.
"We'll probably see them during the examination." Wang Ming said.
Sometime later, Yuan approached Min Li and asked her, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm a little nervous if I have to be honest," she sighed.
"Really? I can tell that your cultivation has improved. You'll do fine."
"Thank you, but I cannot help it. It's been a very long time since I've felt such emotions. And this is the Seven Spirit Academies that we're talking about. I've heard of their reputation even when I was still in the Lower Heavens."
"The acceptance rate is also incredibly low. There will probably be less than ten thousand people who will pass the examination despite the amount of people here today."
"Even then, I still have faith in you." Yuan smiled.
"..."
Min Li began blushing.
Sometime later, everybody at the square stopped talking when seven figures descended from the sky and landed on a platform above the square, and all of them emitted the aura of a Spirit Lord.
"Welcome to the Seven Spirit Academies' Disciple Examination, young cultivators. I am Elder Lang of the Heavenly Academy. Before we begin, allow me to introduce our judges for the examination."
The elder took a seat after announcing the last rule, and another elder stood up.
"Let's move onto the examination itself now."
"As you all heard, the examination will have four different sections."
"For the first part of the examination, you will have your talents evaluated. Your spiritual energy, your spiritual veins, your aptitude— everything. Allow me to be completely honest here. Less than 20 percent of you will pass the first examination."
The nervous atmosphere amongst the participants became even heavier after hearing such words.
"For the second examination, we will analyze the extent of your talents."
"For the third examination, you will be given limited time to hunt magical beasts."
"And for the final examination, if you somehow make it this far, you will be interviewed by the seven of us."
"Now, you will be given 15 minutes to prepare yourselves before we open the portals to the real examination area."
The moment the elder sat back down, the participants began mumbling to each other about the examination.
