Chapter 4
The remaining cultivators took a break which lasted for an hour and the 2nd exam was announced. Elder Wan bao smiled " I will be releasing my cultivation and all those who can resist for 10 mins will pass. "
Suddenly Elder Wan bao released his cultivation at the peak of the virtuous realm the entire outer sect gate was covered with intent only the elders and some disciples were left unscathed , " brother it hurts." Lei Jia said she was trying her best to stand up, while Shen Qing was not affected at all since her mental prowess is comparable to an eternal monarch no one in this entire domain would be able to hurt him mentally. He walked and gently touched Lei Jia's head, Lei jia breathing became calm like some kind of soft feeling was protecting her she opened her eyes and saw Shen Qing smiling at her she smiled back. 10 mins passed by and only 981 cultivators remained standing most of them had blood coming out of their ears, mouth and other holes. " oh." Elder Wan bao noticed Shen Qing who was not affected at all and he became a lot more interested on him.
A couple minutes past and the 3rd exam started it was a smile written exam of their knowledge the remaining participants capable of standing were lead to the halls.
It lasted for an hour.
Their scores were quickly announced and Shen Qing recieved the perfect score, while Lei Jia managed to get only 5 mistakes.
Shen Qing's performance was eye catching , " son!" suddenly Huo Li arrived with a bright smile he has aged well over the past years but when he heard his son's performance together with Xue Jia both of them arrived " Elder Jia and Elder Li your here." Elder Bao cupped his hands even if he was a lot older both Xue Jia and Huo Li were stronger than him and had a higher rank they both nodded " It looks like you did not dissapoint me." Huo li said.
" your father and I made a bet it seems like I lost" Xue Jia laughed
" father !" Lei jia ran and hugged her father
who looked down at her with a smile " you did great" he praised her
Huo Li then smilled "Welcome both of you are now disciples of this sect."
Shen Qing noticed that his father has reached a higher realm compared to 7 years ago same goes for his uncle, with his eyes he was able to determine their realm his father has reached the mid stage of nascent realm, while his uncle has reached the low stage of the nascent realm Shen Qing smilled even if they were to be placed at the middle tier plane they would not loose out to those geniuses given their young age.
Weeks passed by Shen Qing and Lei Jia studied together the sect actually gives freedom to its student they can join the classes if they want, as long as they pass the exams every year for 4 years they are still temporary disciples only after 4 years and reaching the connection realm will they finally be considered outer court disciples, and when you reach the foundation realm before 21 years old you can become an inner court disciple to become a core disciple one must be less than 25 years old and be a cultivator at the Virtous realm he's father and uncle reached the virtous realm at 23 and 24 both considered geniuses of the sect.
days passed by, Shen Qing did not join a single class because he was busy cultivating and learning by himself but given his talent no one bothered him, while Lei Jia would join classes on the morning and practice with Shen Qing at night this lasted for the next 4 years.
" Brother wake up !" lei Jia shouted she is now 18 years old and she has become more beautiful and talented compared to 4 years ago she had grown into a beautiful woman she had matured from the little girl that was always shy around others but she was also very confident in herself and was very open to new ideas, the two of them have spent every day training in the yard. Shen Qing arrived he has also turned more handsome now he's face and body has exactly the same features as when he was the eternal monarch he's body was lean and muscular and he's face is filled with sharp features, he also grew taller, his black hair went straight, it reached his shoulders. During the 4 years of training he has reached the low stage of the foundation realm, while Lei Jia has reached the peak of the connection realm both of them were named this sects young geniuses.
Today was the day of their exam to become official outer court disciples.
fter getting up they ate breakfast and headed for the testing halls, it was simple test all they had to do was place their palms on the stone if it says pass they will be accepted and be given outer sect robes.
The person in charge was a sect elder "place your palms" Lei Jia was the first one she placed her palm on the stone and in a matter of seconds the stone shined " Pass, Lei Jia 18 years old peak of connection." The elder smilled and gave her outer court robes. Shen Qing was next " pass , Shen Qing, 16 low stage of the Foundation realm." The elder stood up " You have reached the foundation realm !" The elder exclaimed
" yes elder."
" you can take the inner court test now if you wish. "
Shen Qing shook his head " I will wait for my sister and we will enter together." The elder nodded and handed him his robe " if you wish."
When they left the elder told the higher ups.
The outer court disciples recieve 5 spirit stones/month which can be used to buy stuff from the sect shop. They proceeded to the halls they were assigned to when suddenly Huo Li appeared before them " Shen and lei you made it." he smilled " uncle, father " they both answered.
" 5 years from now the tournament in this plane will occur it will be participated by the 4 main sects and the sect will be allocating 10 spots the only requirement is one must be 25 years and below and we are hoping you and lei jia will participate."
" We will try our best uncle." Lei jia said
Shen Qing smilled " very well my sister has answered, father we will see you 5 years from now."
Huo li smilled "Do your best we are counting on you."
Inside the chambers, "Brother let me follow you." Lei jia said
Shen Qing shook his head
" I don't need anyone to follow me this time focus on your cultivation, I hope that by the time we meet again you would have become a lot stronger." Shen Qing said
" Brother do you hate me." Lei Jia asked
" hate you? why would I?"Shen Qing said
" Because you are going to a foreign place without me."
Shen Qing smilled and patted her head " I will be going out to give myself some time to roam and I might fight some dangerous enemies, it's not that I don't want to bring you but I want to go alone for now but I promise that next time we will be together."
" Promise ?" She said
Shen Qing nodded.
The next day Shen Qing left early in the morning " Brother when you come back I will be stronger than you." She said
