Chapter 23 - Selection Exam Begin
"Now the selection exam will begin"
That old man moved from the top of the gate and appeared in front of that rock.
"Now pay the selection exam fee and punch this rock and enter the sect, only people who have above 300 kg raw strength are allowed" he said and hurried people to enter because there are thousands of them who want to participate.
First, a weak-looking guy came and paid the fee to the guard and stood in front of the rock he was wearing a normal plain white robe. He has no muscles and his face is smooth but his expression is like he is about to sleep. He is in the 6th stage of the Qi condensation realm
He bowed to the old man and looked at the rock, then he raised his right hand with his tight grip and punched it.
BOOM!
"340" number appeared on the rock.
"You passed, wait for the next test inside" the old man said with a smile
That weak-looking guy bowed to him and entered the sect.
Everyone was shocked because that weak guy can enter the sect? Why can't they?
"If he can do that then I can too"
"Yeah, we were in the same realm as him we can do that too"
"Let's do it, 300 kg is not that hard"
People started to murmur about it because 300kg was not a small amount of strength and so the second person came in front of the rock and bowed to the old man and punched with all his might.
"280"
"There is no need to continue, go back to your family" the old man said but
"Elder, please give me one more chance" that guy started to beg the old man.
"Sure, try again" the old man smiled. He can tell that he will not pass even if had given him 101 chances.
That guy tried again
"278"
"You can leave now, there are many people in the queue" the old man said.
That guy understands that he has failed so he slowly moves away from the entrance with disappointment.
"Come on next, we don't have time to waste here" that old man said
Another guy came in front of the rock and punched it
"270"
"Fail"
"260"
"Fail"
"200"
"Fail"
...
No one passed in almost 200 people and the failures continued and The old man only gave the one chance even though they beg he doesn't give them any more. Du Chan was shocked because he never thought so many would fail. Even though he heard many people can't even enter the sect but see people fail like that surprised him.
A girl came in front of the rock and bowed to the old man. That old man laughed.
"You are the first Blood Condensation Realm warrior so you can enter the sect even if you have 340 kg raw strength. And for other Blood Condensation Realms need 360 kg raw strength" that old man said with a laugh.
"What" Blood Condensation realm people were upset because when the Qi is mixed with Blood it forms BloodQI and when the BloodQi flows through the blood vessels the body strength also increases a little so they already have 300kg of raw strength. They thought they would pass it without any difficulty but the sudden announcement made them awful.
That girl who was in front of the rock was one of the sisters of last night's group. She was wearing a red top and a blue skirt with white shoes.
She took a deep breath and punched with her right hand.
"362"
"Haha, go in and wait for the next test" that old man said with a smile
That girl nodded and entered the sect.
Next, a girl came while hugging a white dog.
Du Chan looked at that dog and smiled.
"It's good that the dog stopped following me." He doesn't want the dog as a pet and he feels it is not a normal dog so now the dog is with that girl he couldn't help but smile.
The girl put that dog down and bowed to the old man.
That dog moved back some steps and looked around at the crowd and found Du Chan and barked at him.
"What is it trying to say?" He doesn't know what that dog is trying to say but he understands that it will not leave him. So he signed
That girl looked at the rock and punched it
"310"
"Go in," that old man said with a smile and that girl nodded and picked up the dog and entered the sect another girl came and punched the rock
"305"
That old man looked at that girl and smiled, she understood and entered the sect without any delay. Next, a bulky guy came and bowed to the old man and punched the rock
"371"
He was already in the Blood Condensation realm and very powerful in it. That old man looked at him and smiled and that bulky guy nodded and entered the sect.
Next, that girl came in front of the rock and bowed to the old man, and punched the rock.
"381"
"As expected from the Xie family young lady," that old man said with a smile and she nodded back at him and entered the sect without saying anything. And the test continued but no one passed after that group.
Now it's Du Chan time so he gave the spiritual stone to the guards and came in front of the rock. He did the same as others bowed to the old man and looked at the rock.
'Can I get above 300? I should punch it hard as I can, let's not use full power, being low key is best' he thought and raised his hand and punched it
"366"
"Ohh that's some good result of Qi Condensation realm, did you get any recommendation badge?" that old man asked because normal people can get such results easily.
The result was a little surprising too for Du Chan. However, when he heard an old man voice he remembered the Elder Yue given him a badge so he took that out from his storage bag
"Yes, Elder Yue gave me this" he gave that badge to the old man. When that old man looked at that bandage his hands trembled.
"This...really Elder Yue's badge!!" the old man looked at Du Chan with surprise in his eyes.
"Yeah, he was the one who gave me this," he said
"Which clan are you from?" the old man asked very respectfully because he is someone recommended by the Hantian realm Elder means this kid has a big background.
"No, I'm not from any clan, I'm an orphan," he said while rubbing his head.
"Ohh you can go in," that old man noticed people were looking at them so he gave the badge back to him and told him to enter the sect.
"Okay" Du Chan took the badge and entered the sect. When he stepped in he felt he was washed by Qi.
"Omg, the Qi in here is very dense" he never felt like this before. When he looked around it's like an enormous land without any buildings or mountains, only huge green trees and some rocks have filled the area.
There are only six members in the whole area; it's seven including him now.
The first person who entered was sitting on a rock while his eyes were closed. And the Xie family members were sitting in the group under a tree,
'It seems the guys with them couldn't enter' there were some guys with them yesterday night but they are not present here, only that bulky guy is there, and the junior sister was sleeping on the grass near a tree alone. looks like she didn't have a good sleep yesterday night.
Du Chan saw a nice rock and sat on it while closing his eyes.
Some hours passed.
Du Chan opened his eyes and there were many people in front of him.
'Ohh it appears many people arrived here." He counted the people who entered and there were almost 150 to 160 members.
And he saw a guy coming in his direction. He looked like a 30-year-old man wearing a normal grey cloak. He had some wrinkles on his face that showed his age.
He came beside Du Chan and sat down.
"It seems little brother is here by himself" he asked Du Chan with a smile on his face.
"Yeah" he said.
"My name is Ran Guo, who likes to make money from selling information. What is your name, little brother?" Ran Guo asked
"Du Chan" he answered back.
Ran Guo came a little close to him.
"If little brother wants to know anything, ask me, I will give some discount for you" he whispered in his ears.
Du Chan looked at him with a weird expression.
"Okay…"
"Hehe, okay then best of luck in next tests" Ran Guo said and moved away from him and mixed in the crowd.
"What a weird dude" he thought and closed his eyes again.
1 hour passed and it's noon.
"Now everyone who has 300kg or above raw strength is here so let's begin the test" the old man said.
"There are only 3 tests in the selection exam,
First: there will be a 2 days time limit and you guys need to find these badges that are around the sect ground. You may search in groups or solo but at the end of the time limit you should at least have 3 badges with you if you don't have then there is no need to continue the test" the old man showed a yellow badge which looks like it was made of iron or something and painted in yellow.
Everyone started to discuss themselves about making groups or taking the solo test.
Du Chan sat on the rock without moving, he didn't have any plans to make a group and search so he sat there.
"In other words, you can do whatever you want, as long as you avoid killing, and the elders of the sect will be watching you constantly. We will discuss the 2nd and 3rd tests later. The test begins now and ends the day after tomorrow."
The old man said and vanished.
