The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 115 — Selection Exam
Lian Huanran nodded in understanding as well as Long Yuan, then they discussed things and put forward the theories in their minds to each other. Although in the end the theories they put forward only become theories that cannot be ascertained. It was late afternoon when they finished discussing. However, Lian Huanran suddenly recalled something.
Lian Huanran, “Oh yes, how are we going to investigate the Jade Wolf Sect Kak?”
Lian Haocun, “Entering the Sect, it is easier to investigate from within than from outside.”
Long Yuan, “Wah, looks like it will be fun!”
Chao Bence let out a mocking smile and said in a sarcastic tone, “Are you sure you will be able to get away with it? The conditions for entering the Jade Wolf Sect would definitely be very difficult.”
Long Yuan, “...”
Then Chao Bence patted Long Yuan's head slowly and repeated the same words, “Kidding-joking.”
While Lian Huanran asked again, "Are we going to hide our identity?"
Lian Haocun shook his head and they started a new discussion topic and finally a deal was formed when the day was late enough.
...****************...
The moon quickly turned into the sun. Lian Haocun who was cultivating, opened his eyes slowly. The shadow from the bright sunlight entered Lian Haocun's field of vision. He changed from sitting to sitting. Not too long later, Lian Huanran who had just woken up, rubbed his eyes and said in a typical tone of a new person waking up, “Good morning, Brother.”
Lian Haocun replied with a mutter ‘Mhm’. Then the two of them started to get ready to travel to the Jade Wolf Sect.
On the way to Long Yuan's room, Lian Huanran asked, “Oh yes, when did the Jade Wolf Sect hold the registration for the new disciple?”
Lian Haocun, “One and a half months away, no need to worry about being late, our travel time is about one month five days.”
After gathering with Long Yuan, Bai, Cheng, Chao Bence and Shui Zuo, they paid a visit to ‘HaoRan’ restaurant to eat first and buy various necessary items in Vekado City. Starting from new clothes, some small weapons that will be used as side weapons, some snacks typical of Vekado City and various other items.
Then, they began the journey to the Jade Wolf Sect. As Lian Haocun had expected, their travel time was only around one month and five days, which meant that there was only ten days left to prepare.
Lian Huanran said, “Very crowded...”.
Chao Bence said, “Of course! Boy, do you think only a few cultivators want to enter the Jade Wolf Sect? There are so many! Even if the place they live is very far away, they would be willing to come here just to enter that Upper Level Sect.”
Automatically, Lian Huanran ignored the call ‘Bocah’ and said, “I just didn't expect it to be this crowded.”
Chao Bence muttered ‘Hm’ in disbelief, then he began to explain like a guide, “This is Wolvenbont City, one of the cities under the rule of the Jade Wolf Sect. Unlike the City of Vekado which is not under the power of anyone. The city is connected to the entrance of the Jade Wolf Sect, do you see the mountain with some buildings there?”
Chao Bence pointed at a tall mountain, Lian Huanran, Lian Haocun, Long Yuan, Shui Zuo even Bai and Cheng simultaneously looked at the direction indicated by Chao Bence. Chao Bence continued, “It was the Jade Wolf Sect, the Jade Wolf Sect was located on Mount Arbara. Look, it looks so fresh right?”
Lian Huanran nodded as well as Long Yuan. When viewed from far away, Mount Arbara is very broad and covered by green leaves that give the impression of fresh. The mountain has a shape like a cone, but the top does not look sharp, but blunt.
Chao Bence, “Quiet, even if we do not get anything useful to know the purpose of the demon race, at least you will definitely get a new science.”
Shui Zuo who more often quietly listened, nodded and said, “Indeed, this is the reason why the demon race did not dare to be rash so as to attract the ‘three giant’ Continent Afer.”
Lian Huanran asked in a surprised tone, “What is it ‘three giants’?”
Shui Zuo, “Three Top Level Sects in Afer Continent.”
Then Lian Huanran cut their conversation, “We have to find lodging first.”
Lian Huanran nodded and they looked for lodging while chatting about various matters, with Lian Huanran, Long Yuan and Chao Bence as active members and Lian Haocun and Shui Zuo as passive members who respond as necessary.
After getting lodging, they surrounded Wolvenbont City until late at night. Then the next day, Lian Haocun cultivated throughout the day, while Lian Huanran continued to learn about medicinal plants and sometimes conversed with Chao Bence, Long Yuan and Shui Zuo and played with little Bai and Cheng.
Time passed quickly, and without feeling it, it was time for the registration day as well as the selection to enter the Jade Wolf Sect. Chao Bence changed its shape into a small snake and hid in Lian Haocun's pocket, while Shui Zuo, who was assigned to guard Bai and Cheng, carried Bai and Cheng somewhat awkwardly. However, this was the first time he had taken care of small magical animals.
In a short time, they reached a place for registration. The place is very crowded and crowded by various people.
Shui Zuo said, "I'll wait for you guys there."
Lian Huanran and Long Yuan nodded in understanding. Then Shui Zuo walked over to a somewhat quiet shade. They lined up in neat and long rows and waited for their time.
After waiting for quite a while, Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and Long Yuan wrote their names on a scroll with a quill pen. Then they lined up again to make the selection. The requirement to pass the selection is to have elements and which are at least level three, as well as have a Foundation Building stage 6 cultivation level with a maximum of twenty years old.
Lian Huanran estimated that there were tens to perhaps a hundred more people lined up, not a few of them looking arrogant and wearing luxurious clothes. Lian Huanran suspected that they were the young masters of a wealthy family. There were also those who wore black robes to cover up his identity. Lian Huanran was stunned to see the large number of various people lined up in line for selection.
Selection is held in a tent that looks not too big, quite small in fact. The tent was dominated by an elegant deep blue color mixed with golden yellow.
Lian Huanran saw countless people coming out of the tent very quickly, there were even less than a minute. So it didn't take long before Lian Haocun's turn, Lian Huanran and Long Yuan arrived.
Lian Haocun lined up at the very front, so he entered the tent at the very first. Lian Haocun was greeted by a very firm-sounding voice, “Name, age, element, cultivation level and mana-level you.”
Lian Haocun looked directly at the black eyes of the person who spoke and said in his trademark tone, “Lian Haocun, 18 Years Old, Fire, Foundation Building stage 6, 7.”
The person who asked the question remained calm-faced on the surface, yet he felt extremely shocked. Because he never knew anyone who had a level 7 mana when he was eighteen years old. Plus Lian Haocun's cultivation talent could be judged as an extremely valuable talent, like an extremely rare gem.
The person also felt familiar with the name Lian Haocun, but he could not remember it, so he could only write data about Lian Haocun on a scroll, then said, “Please put your hands on this ball.”
Checking is also necessary, due to the large number of people who used magic pills to increase their cultivation level momentarily or even faked their age and element level to qualify for the selection pass and this ball could see through all of that.
Lian Haocun who hid his true cultivation level, stared at the glossy ball that was in black grey. Under the ball, there are pads that look luxurious.
