Chapter 41 - Admissions Test Part Six

Name:Ah Chun Author:invayne
Ah Chun looked at the tall stone slab in front of her. The size of the stone slab and the size of Ah Chun was like light and day. The stone slab was about three hundred centimeters tall while Ah Chun was only around one hundred centimeters tall. Although Ah Chun was eight years old her height and body build was still that of a six-year-old child. To those around her that were taking the same test, it looked that if the wind blew it would knock her over. So when she stood in front of the stone slab the people around her started to gossip and laugh at her.

"Do you think she will even be able to register a strength value?"

"If she does it will be extremely low. I mean look at how young she is she should still be trying to perceive her Qi."

"Hahaha! Let's make a bet on how high her strength value will be!"

"I bet 5 medium spirit stones it will be zero!"

"I bet ten medium spirit stones it won't even register at all!"

These peoples voices, of course, were heard by Ah Chun who was starting to get angry at these people for talking behind her back. Now, these people are also the ones who had no idea that Ah Chun was the cause of all the recent events. All they saw was a small little girl walking forward to take the strength test.

The more Ah Chun heard the angrier she got, the angrier she got, the more she wanted to kill the people behind her. But if she did that she would fail the test. The killing intent coming from Ah Chun started to get stronger. Mei Liling who was standing at her side felt Ah Chun's normal aura getting stronger so she placed her hand on Ah Chun's shoulder. Mei Liling also heard the people around them and she herself wanted to go teach these people a lesson for picking on her daughter. But as an elder, she could not act irrationally when it came to an admissions test.

Ah Chun felt a hand on her shoulder and when she looked up she saw that it was Mei Liling her killing intent relaxed a little. At this time the outer sect disciple who was in charge of the strength test had finished setting up and it was now Ah Chun's turn to test her strength. Ah Chun walked up to the testing stone and was told by the outer sect disciple to just hit the stone as hard as she could. At this moment Ah Chun could still hear the people behind her still gossiping about her and making bets.

Ah Chun's anger once again started to rise! The killing intent started to get stronger which scared the outer sect disciple next to the stone. Knowing she can not do anything to them she decided the only outlet she can use is the stone itself. She balled up her little fist and brought her arm back. Using every ounce of her strength she threw her fist out toward the testing stone!

*Boom*

Right as her fist hit the stone a loud explosion was heard. The testing stone was blasted into millions of tiny pieces. The whole crowd was silent. Not one person said a word. Ah Chun stood there looking at the pieces fall from the sky with her head held high and a slight smile on her face. She felt a lot better now that she vented her anger.

Mei Liling who was next to her was very proud of this outcome. She turned and looked at the crowd behind them and said. "To those of you who were sitting here betting and making fun of a little girl I hope this will be a lesson to you from now on. Do not judge a book by its cover. Cause sometimes the ones who you think are weak are actually dragons in disguise."

Mei Liling "Hmph'd" and turned back around. She told the outer sect disciple to not worry about the test result and to just get a new testing stone here. She then took Ah Chun's hand and headed off to rest.

All the new recruits who passed the first round of tests were brought to a courtyard that was set up for the recruits. These courtyards were empty year-round except during the time that the sect was recruiting. Ah Chun and Mei Liling stayed in one of these courtyards overnight. Even though it was made to house more than two people, Mei Liling made sure that Ah Chun and her were by themselves. The buildings were all made out of stone the interior did not have much of anything except stone beds for cultivating. There was a detached kitchen for those who still needed to eat, but normally the kitchen area only collected dust. Although the house was made of stone it still had a cozy feel to it.
