Richard stared at Darren with disbelief and astonishment in his eyes. It was said that the arcane place for supreme disciple election had been abolished years ago for it was too difficult for anyone to ever make it. As far as he knew, the talented disciples who signed up for the test either lost their lives or sustained severe injuries.
He had no idea what tests the participants had to go through.
But now Darren passed the test unscathed. 'This teenager only took fifteen minutes to pass the test. What kind of genius could he possibly be?'
"Richard, I was talking to you. Answer my question," Colin reminded.
"Ah?" Richard came back to his senses. An excitement spread across his face as he replied, "Sir, this teenager is the one who walked into the arcane place."
"Is that so?" Colin's eyes lit up. He beckoned Darren with a wave of his hand and said, "Boy, please come here."
Darren looked at the elder in the near distance, thinking, 'A strong cultivator again. He gives off a tremendously powerful aura.'
He made his way to Colin and stopped in front of him. He cupped his hands and greeted respectfully, "Hello, sir."
"Call me Mr. Li. What's your name?" Colin said with a faint smile.
"I'm Darren Chu. I came here to join the outer disciple election," Darren replied.
"I see." Looking a bit surprised, Colin asked, "Did you just come out from the arcane place?"
Darren glanced back at the entrance to the arcane place and nodded in confirmation.
"Yes, I guess so." With her face soaked in tears, Cathy who had stood aside silently joined them. Eyes wide open, she said, "So he really made it."
She walked towards Colin and threw punches onto his chest non-stop. Glaring at him, she said in a soft voice, "How could you bark at me? You deserve this. Humph, you're a bad grandfather. You said no one could pass the test. How do you explain this? You just wanted to teach me a lesson."
"Sweetie, stop being naughty," Collin said to Cathy in a soft tone. He actually was very fond of his granddaughter. Now that Darren got out of the arcane place safe and sound, he was no longer mad at her.
"If he could do it, I can too. I must go there. Humph. You bluffed me because you didn't want me to have any fun in there," Cathy pouted, looking very pathetic.
'Even a guy who signed up for the outer disciple election can pass in that so-called supreme disciple election. I'm a genius. Of course I can make it too, ' she thought.
"That's enough!" Colin's face darkened as he said sternly, "Let him tell us how he did it. If you still have the guts to take the test after hearing his story, I'll let you go. Sounds fair?"
"Really? Deal!" Cathy cheered up immediately. 'I would get afraid? That's ridiculous, ' she sneered inside.
When the rest heard what Colin said, it piqued their interests. They were all eager to know every detail about the legendary supreme disciple election test.
Truth be told, Colin didn't believe Darren could pass the test with such ease. 'Perhaps he just got lucky.'
"Darren, tell us what happened. We want to hear every detail. To be honest with you, even I know nothing about the supreme disciple election test," Richard said curiously.
"Sure. There are three tests in total," Darren said frankly.
Upon hearing this, Colin grew more excited. A dash of pleasure struck across his face.
"The first trial was aimed to test one's talent," Darren continued.
"I see," Colin cut in. "Tell us how you passed it."
Darren nodded his head and started narrating his story.
Here was how it happened. After he entered the old door, he saw eight patterns on the wall. They were the moves of an intact extraordinary fist skill.
Only cultivators whose talent was on or above the Earth Degree should have been able to master it given the short amount of time.
When Darren mentioned the fist technique, Colin asked, "Were you able to master that martial skill?"
Darren laughed out loud and replied, "You must be kidding, Mr. Li."
'What the hell?'
