( Ch 7 )

SUN RESUMED HIS PRACTISE AFTER TAKING A DAY OFF .

3 MONTHS HAD PASSED BY AND NOW SUN WAS ABLE TO EASILY LIFT A ROCK THAT WAS MORE THAN 2000KGS AND RUN WITH IT FOR 100s OF KILOMETRES. SUDDENLY SUN REMEMBERED ABOUT TRON AND WEN , THAT HAD A GROUP OF FOLLOWERS UNDER THEM . HE THOUGHT THAT THE HAD FOLLOWERS BECAUSE THEY ARE STRONG , SO MAYBE IF ONE DAY HE ALSO BECOMES STRONG, THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THAT WILL WANT TO FOLLOW HIM .

IN THE BOYS DORM SUN HAD HEARD THE RICH KIDS TALK ABOUT THEIR SIBLINGS THAT WERE IN THE SECT. THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW EASY IT IS FOR THEM TO BECOME STRONG AND REACH THE INNER SECT AS THEIR FAMILY AND SIBLINGS HAD CONNECTIONS AS WELL AS EXPERIENCE . BEFORE THIS SUN DIDN'T KNEW THAT THE NOBLES HAD SUCH STRONG ROOTS IN THE SECT.

TIME PASSED BY AND NOW IT HAD BEEN 6 MONTHS SINCE SUN HAD JOINED THE SECT. SUN WAS AWARE THAT ANYTIME NOW THE SECT COMPETITION COULD BE HELD . AT FIRST SUN WAS AIMING FOR THE TOP SPOT BUT NOW AFTER HE CAME TO KNEW ABOUT THE BACKINGS OF THE NOBLES , HE WAS A LITTLE RELUCTANT TO SHOW HIS FULL POTENTIAL .

SUN : Tomorrow is the sect's competition and I have managed to reach 6th layer of body tempering . I will try to rank as high as I can without standing out too much . IT'S BETTER NOT TO STIR ANY UNWANTED TROUBLE BEFORE ONE BECOMES STRONG ENOUGH TO DEFEND ONESELF.

NEXT DAY EVERY NEW DISCIPLE GATHERED IN THE ARENA .

A MAN IN HIS LATE 40's JUMPED OUT OF NOWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ARENA WITH A HUGE STONE TABLET AND STARTLED THE WHOLE CROWD.

THE MAN : ( HE IMBUEDS HIS VOICE WITH QI AND SHOUTS ) Silence ! I am the 3rd Elder of Outer sect . Come on the stage one by one and use your brute strength to leave a mark on this Tablet .

I should tell you that this tablet is very sturdy and only people above 6th layer of body tempering that corresponds to strength of 1000kgs will be able to leave a mark on it. If anyone has questions, they may ask .

RANDOM DISCIPLE FROM THE CROWD : What about the people that fail to leave a mark ?

3rd ELDER : Obviously they will be kicked out , also there were will further competitions to select the top 4 students and those top 4 will get rewards as well as a chance to be taught by elders themselves.
