Chapter 53: Chapter 53 The flying sword sect
''Elder, what about the first place then?''
In the 'Floating cloud sect' where even the lodging wasn't free for those disciples, and they had to work hard in the sect mines every month just for 50 sect points, an opportunity to earn 1000 sect points at once was worth risking their lives over.
However, the prospect of a spatial ring was even more enticing than that.
Of course, these people knew how small their chances were to get into the top 3 of the sect examination.
In reality, only those disciples that were at the peak of rank 3 in earth grade had a chance to enter the top 3.
The disciple who had spoken just now was short with red hair. His name was Guan Hong and he was a peak rank 3 earth grade disciple.
''Ohh?!''
Lu Cheng stopped walking as he exclaimed in a surprised manner. He turned around to look at Guan Hong and after noticing that he was at the peak of rank 3 in earth grade, he nodded his head as he said
''The first place will additionally get 100 spirit stones from the sect but that's not all.
The person who gathers the most survival points out of every other disciple between the 4 sects, will also get a 'Blood Vermilion Fruit'.''
Although most disciples were perplexed, Shun Long's eyes shone brightly when he heard of the 'Blood Vermilion Fruit'.
''If I can get my hands on it, my strength will definitely advance by leaps and bounds'' he thought.
Lu Cheng saw that most disciples hadn't even heard of the 'Blood Vermilion Fruit' and he snorted as he explained
''The 'Blood Vermilion Fruit' can be directly consumed and allow a disciple at the peak of rank 3 in the earth grade to directly advance to the early rank 4.
To Shun Long though the 'Blood Vermilion Fruit' was even more attractive than that as he could refine it into a pill. After consuming it his strength would directly soar.
Everyone in the group was excited as they walked toward the Demonic Mountain Region. The weaker disciples all hoped to enter the top100 while the stronger disciples like Guan Hong who were at the peak of rank 3 in earth grade were all dreaming of taking first place.
Their group traveled for 7 days until they arrived at the Demonic Mountain Region.
Shun Long was shocked when he saw how vast the region was.
There were mountains and trees as far as the eye could see.
The 'Floating cloud sect' was the second group to arrive. In front of them was another huge group that wasn't any smaller than their own.
Their disciples were all dressed in white robes and they were all carrying swords on their backs.
A pair of Elders approached the 'Floating cloud sect's' group and the oldest one of them spoke
''Haha Lan Hong, I didn't expect that you would be the one to lead your fledglings all the way from the 'Floating cloud city'.'' This person was the Grand Elder of the 'Flying sword sect', Hui Zhong.
''Hui Zhong, it seems that your 'Flying sword sect' also takes this sect examination quite seriously, otherwise, with how old you are you wouldn't have stepped a foot outside your sect.''
''Are you any younger than me Lan Hong? Hahaha it's okay, I won't hold any grudges against you this time. Let me introduce someone to you. This is my grandson Hui Ming.''
As soon as Hui Zhong finished speaking, a young man with sharp-defined features and a hooked nose appeared from the 'flying sword sect's' group. The man had a golden sword strapped on his back and anyone who looked at his pair of eyes would suddenly sense a feeling of danger coming from this person.
Lan Hong's eyes shone brightly as he saw the young man who now stood next to Hui Zhong and he exclaimed in a loud voice full of bewilderment
''How is it possible?''
Hui Zhong smiled brightly as he said
''Did you notice already? It's precisely what you think! Ming'er's talent for the sword is even higher than my own. He has already touched upon sword qi while he is only at the peak of rank 2 in the earth grade. I am not afraid to say that even though his cultivation is low, he has the highest chance among everyone here to obtain the first place in this survival examination.''
Lan Hong couldn't refute Hui Zhong's words as his 'Floating cloud sect' didn't have anyone at the same level as Hui Ming.
Usually, sword cultivators would only be able to touch upon sword qi when they reach the late stages of the earth grade.
''Old man Hui Zhong I'm afraid that your grandson won't have that chance.''
As a manly voice was heard from the distance, two big groups could be seen coming towards them.
