บท 108: Chapter 108 - Test.
Tatsuya and Miyuki were waking with Shen Xiu and Yang Xin, Yu Yan was buzzing around. She was furious at them for disappearing without saying anything.
Luckily for both of them, the new place had them distracted. They did not want to make a scene in front of so many people.
Xiao Yu was currently explaining everything to them as they reached the testing area. Nie Li, Lu Piao, and Guan Yi were walking with them.
Guan Yi is a Demigod rank expert who is in his twenties. He originates from Xuyu Clan from Nether Realm. They appeared notably similar to humans, except their skin is slightly reddish.
As usual, Nie Li was attracting some attention, not in a sound way.
Xiao Yu continued walking as he explained, "The Skysoul Institution is divided into five districts, each with strict grading. The Central District of the institution is the strongest, East is the second, and West is the third. The South and North Districts are the tail ends. You guys will have to first take a placement test for your district."
He glanced at Guan Yi and continued, "Furthermore, I have one point I need to make clear with you guys. Regardless of whether you are Legend or Demigod rank, you better put away your arrogance. Now that you are in the Draconic Ruins Realm, you guys have barely touched the door of cultivation.
The cultivation stages in Draconic Ruins Realm are divided into five higher Realms, Heavenly Fate, Heavenly Stars, Heavenly Axis, Dao of the Dragon, and Martial Ancestor.
Every Realm is subdivided into nine smaller stages. Those below the Heavenly Fate Realm are called the Earthen Fate Realm. Those who have yet to form their Fate Soul do not even qualify to call themselves a cultivator."
Yang Xin had resolve written all over her face; she had clawed her way to where she stood with her own strength. She was confident she could do it again. This time she even had people watching her back.
Shen Xiu, on the other hand, looked confident. But Tatsuya could tell she was really nervous. In some ways, her confidence took a big hit when Tatsuya invaded her house.
Tatsuya gently patted her shoulder twice, which made her look back.
"Come here," Tatsuya mouthed those words. He didn't want to disturb Xiao Yu, who was explaining everything.
Shen Xiu slowly stepped behind until she was beside Tatsuya.
Slowly, he put his hand around her waist and pulled her closer before putting his lips right next to her ears, "You will be fine, even if you don't have enough talent. I am here."
Shen Xiu was startled by Tatsuya's action; her eyes wandered around, she whispered, "you are attracting attention." She could see people stop walking and watching them.
Tatsuya patted her back, "You'll be fine." before moving forward. Shen Xiu took a deep breath to calm down before she started walking. When she looked ahead, she noticed Miyuki was glancing back at her with a smile.
When they reached the testing site,
The number of people who came to take the test was steadily swelling as the three teachers continued to record scores.
"3-grade Man Spiritual Root, send back."
"4-grade Man Spiritual Root, send back."
The voices of the teachers could be heard.
Lu Piao could not help but look at Xiao Yu and asked, "What do they mean by sending back?"
Xiao Yu explained, "When they say send back, that means that the institution would not accept them. The Skysoul Institution only admits those with 5-grade Man Spiritual grade and above. Those with low talent are rejected."
Hearing those words, Lu Piao could not help pulling his neck in like a turtle. The idea of being sent back was really pretty scary.
Guan Yi glanced at Lu Piao, who had a bitter face and coldly snorted "Trash."
His words were for Lu Piao, they made Shen Xiu twitch. Although Tatsuya reassured her, that didn't make her nervousness go away.
Tatsuya just watched her without saying anything. Instead, his attention was on youth. He seemed to be a bit away, silently watching Xiao Yu, and not with good intention.
Just as Xiao Yu was telling off Guan Yi for his rudeness, the youth walked near them.
The youth clicked his tongue as he said in a peculiar voice, "Well, is this the super genius Xiao Yu from our West District? I never thought I would meet Young Master Xiao in a place like this. What a coincidence."
"Hua Ling, speak if you have anything worth saying. Otherwise, get lost. I do not have the time to have an idle chat with you." Xiao Yu said with a cold face.
Hua Ling laughed and tried to hook his arms around Xiao Yu's neck, but Xiao Yu knocked them away. Hua Ling retracted his arms as he chuckled: "Young Master Xiao is still the same as usual, so impolite."
Miyuki hid behind Tatsuya and silently chuckled. It seemed she was enjoying Xiao Yu's struggle of acting like a boy.
Soon she got bored, seeing it would take time, she started talking about the sect with Shen Xiu, Yang Xin, and Yu Yan. Tatsuya joined them in the talk since it looked like it would take time.
After a while, Xiao Yu came to them,
"It's our turn." She looked at Tatsuya awkwardly. After more than a week of their disappearance, she suddenly had a dream. She got a much more complete and profound version of her cultivation technique. But, even she couldn't breakthrough.
She wasn't sure how to face Tatsuya.
When they reached the table, Enforcer Gu said, "Young masters, it will soon be your men's turn."
Hua Ling, who stood to one side, smiled. "I'll go with Enforcer Gu's arrangements. Xiao Yu and I are just bystanders, after all."
Enforcer Gu nodded as he pointed at one person and said, "You, come up here and take your test."
This was a person who had originated from the Little Heaven Realm, a youth in his twenties and who wore a long purple robe.
This youth walked forward. Under the guidance of the two teachers supervised by Enforcer Gu, he slowly placed his hand on a round crystal ball that's the size of a millstone. He then slowly injected his power into it.
The crystal ball glowed faintly, then became brighter and brighter. Faint orange patterns are traced throughout the crystal and distributed into six threads.
Enforcer Gu nodded as he said with a light smile. "6-grade Earth Spiritual Root. Not bad. Send to the West District."
Hua Ling walked up to the youth and patted him on the shoulder. "Well done!"
The youth nodded with respect before retiring behind Hua Ling. He didn't seem conceited.
The teachers continued to test the remaining people.
"3-grade Earth Spiritual Root, West District."
"7-grade Earth Spiritual Root, West District."
For the next three tests, all had Earth Spiritual Roots and were sent to the West District.
The people behind them discussed it.
"These people from the Little Heaven Realm are really formidable! So many people have participated in the test and ninety percent have been Man Spiritual Roots. Out of every ten people, barely one or two are Earth Spiritual Roots, yet those three from the Little Heaven Realm all had Earth Spiritual Root!"
"Yeah! Not to mention that one of them is a 7-grade Earth Spiritual Root. That's already rare enough!"
The corner of Hua Ling's mouth twitched upwards. Their Little Heaven Realm had always produced talented younger generations. How could it be compared with other places!
Enforcer Gu pointed at Guan Yi. "You, come and take your test!"
Guan Yi nodded. "Yes."
Guided by the two teachers, he walked up to the crystal ball and slowly reached his hand over it.
Thanks to Xiao Yu's introduction of the process, he was already aware that this crystal ball would determine his fate. Therefore, he was a little nervous.
As time passed, the crystal ball emitted a faint light before it glowed brighter and brighter. Scarlet-red threads appeared inside and gradually split into nine.
"9-grade Man Spiritual Root, off to the South District." Enforcer Gu said after casting a glance at Guan Yi. Although a 9-grade Man Spiritual Root was decent, it couldn't be considered outstanding.
While Nie Li was trying to comfort Guan Yi, Hua Ling picked a fight again.
As their argument escalated, Miyuki was beginning to get annoyed. Just as she was about to interfere, Tatsuya put his hand on her shoulders, "let it be freezing him would only invite trouble."
Miyuki turned to look at him, pouting, "but he is so annoying."
Yang Xin nodded, agreeing with Miyuki, "I agree, but we are in a new place. From what you said, attacking them will only invite trouble."
Shen Xiu glanced at Tatsuya, "Can't you sneakily do something?"
Tatsuya gazed at her, "what do you think of me?"
Shen Xiu stared at him, "Unemotional, underhanded, manipulative, evil bastard?"
Miyuki and Yang Xin let out a laugh that attracted everyone's attention. Only Yu Yan felt Shen Xiu had a very twisted impression of Tatsuya.
"You!! Do you think this is funny?"
This attracted their attention when they looked over. Hua Ling was looked at them with a face filled with anger.
Tatsuya looked towards Xiao Yu as if asking what had happened.
Xiao Yu whispered, "His men tested to be 8-Grade Man, at the same time, Miyuki laughed."
