40 The new outer sect disciples!

"Congratulations to all 134 of you for passing the test! You've shown your will and care for this sect in the illusion array! And actually there is no thing as a helper disciple. I just made that up." Xiao long said with a smile on his face." From this moment on you are also outer sect disciples! You may not have met the requirements to join this sect, but you showed your loyalty to it by fighting for ot in the illusion you just had! Cultivators like you are what my supreme martial sect really need!" Xiao long said while looking at them.

Every cultivators who passed looked at Xiao long with an excitement in their face and they said in unison." We greet sect master Xiao!" They did it! They passed the test! Almost all of the ones who passed only had inferior innate talent but they showed their loyalty to the sect by fighting for it!

Xiao long then gave all of them one low grade spirit stone and also let Zhao Fu lead them to their new courtyards. Xiao long then turned off the illusion array and flew towards the cultivators who failed the test and those who watched it and said." The recruitment for the supreme martial sect is already over. I thank all of you for coming all of this way just to join my supreme martial sect but alas, my sect dont need people with low will power or people who will betray it. I should have already killed the people who wanted to betray the supreme martial sect after joining but I'll give you one more chance to leave now and never show your face in front of me again and my supreme martial sect." Xiao long said before disappearing towards the celestial mountain. After that all of the cultivators who failed started to madly run away from this place! They felt total fear from Xiao long! Just his aura made them pale and almost wanted to kneel in front of him! And after that the name of the entire martial sect began to spread throughout the whole desolate country.

"What did you say!? A high level illusion array that can cover thousands of people!?" A middle aged man sitting cross legged suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the news! His eyes showed a hint of shock and greed!" Get all of the information about that sect right now! I must get that thing for my sect as the last line of defense!" He said while standing up and then going out of the room.

"Hoh?... an array that surpassed mine? I need to come and see that illusion array and the one who made it for myself." An old man with long white hair said while smiling.

Of course Xiao long was ignorant of the commotion outside. He is now controlling the celestial mountain to move away from this place. The celestial mountain is also in its invisible state from the outside. Even peak human immortal cant see it even if they wanted to!.

Xiao long is now together with Yoruichi and the others. And they talked about the disciples they recruited this day and they were pleased. Although only a handful of them were geniuses almost at Zhao Fu and the others level but to the outside world they were still dragons among men and Phoenix among women!

The next day the ranking tournament finally started! Majority of the ones who were able to join via the 1st round of the martial path we're in the middle stage of the body tempering, a dozen in the late stage, and a handful in the peak of body tempering realm. After a night of cultivation using their low grade spirit stones almost all of them upgraded a level especially those who were in the middle stage body tempering realm. But those in the late stage only a gew managed to breakthrough and in the peak none managed to breakthrough because of the larger amount of spiritual qi needed.

The tournament went on until noon and finally the rankings were out! Tian mu managed to get to the top 10 by beating one 7th layer body tempering realm martial artist. He is now a 6th layer body tempering realm and beating a 7th layer body tempering realm martial artist is already a miracle for him!

"It looks like his mortal body is as strong as those in the 7th layer body tempering realm" Xiao long said to himself with a smile.

"And here are the top 10 for the ranking tournament!"Xiao long said with a smile.

1. Sun Wu

2. Fen Hua

3. Bai Fu

...

10. Tian Mu

Xiao long nodded. He was satisfied with these ten people especially Tian Mu and the top three. Sun Wu is a 16 year old boy. He is very decisive and with the strength of peak layer body tempering realm and his martial prowess he can even fight with 1st layer foundation building realm martial artist for a short time he uses the pole as his main weapon and he already has a small accomplishment in the art of the pole! You should know that foundation building realm martial artist has a huge lead against body tempering realm martial artist! And Sun Wu can battle with them fir a short time! He can already be considered a genius!

Fen Hua is a beautiful 16 year old girl at the 9th layer of body tempering realm. She use the spear as her main weapon and for a girl she has a super strong body! She is also able to execute her techniques while only using one arm! Using his way of the spear he battles it out with Sun Wu for the first place for a dozen clashes until Sun Wu finally managed to win.

And lastly Bai Fu. He is a 15 year old also in the 9th layer body tempering realm. He's the fastest among all of the cultivators in the top 10 and he is even faster than Sun Wu by a little bit! But because of the overwhelming strength of Fen Hua and the wits of Sun Wu he lost to both of them.

After that Xiao long told them that before they will be given their rewards for being in the top 10 they will first go to another place together with all of the new outer sect disciples to make an outh never to betray the supreme martial sect and those who want to back out can back out now! Because if they break that outh they will die! But even though Xiao long said that not one of them hesitated to follow Xiao long to make the oath!

Xiao long smiled and after walking for a few minutes they finally arrived at the discipline hall.
