Chapter 228 - I Want Those Two!

Ah Chun, Li Chen Bao, and Yi Chen who had been talking this entire time finally reached the front of the line. "Next!"

A middle aged looking man with a scruffy looking face yelled out. "Yi Chen it's your turn." Ah Chun said as she interrupted Yi Chen's conversation with Li Chen Bao. Although Li Chen Bao did not say more than two words in response Yi Chen still happily carried on with his conversation. Li Chen Bao had never talked to a man her age before except for her brother so she was very nervous and embarrassed at the same time while talking to him.

"Huh? Oh! Sorry!" Yi Chen bowed to the middle aged looking man. 

The middle aged looking man nodded and said: "Place your hand on the orb." 

Yi Chen did as he was told. After a few seconds, the orb started to shine a bright red. The middle aged looking man nodded and said: "Not bad rank six talent. Stand over to the side with the others that passed." 

"Next!" Not waiting for Yi Chen to say anything the middle aged looking man already pushed him along.  

"Good Luck!" Yi Chen said as she happily walked over to the area where those who passed where waiting.

Ah Chun stepped forward causing the middle aged looking man to raise an eyebrow as he looked at her. Unlike everyone else, where he had them place their hand on the orb right away the middle aged looking man asked: "What is your age and cultivation?"

"Seven years old, rank seven body refinement." Ah Chun said.

"Mmmm… Very good. To be so young with such high cultivation is very good indeed. And the thing on your head?" The middle aged looking man's gaze fell on to Xiao Feng.

"My spirit pet." Ah Chun did not elaborate since it would not be good to tell everyone she had a fire phoenix as a contracted beast. 

Ah Chun's answer caused the middle aged looking man's eyebrow to twitch. ' You say it's a spirit pet yet it has an aura far above that of a rank nine demonic beast! ' Although these were his thoughts the middle aged looking man did not ask any further. "Okay, you can be considered as passed already but to see your actual aptitude place your hand on the orb."

Ah Chun did as she was asked and placed her hand on the orb. After a few seconds, a bright blackish light filled the area and a cracking sound could be heard.

* Crack *

"Haha, indeed a rare talent to think you surpassed the max rating this orb can give. Go stand to the side with the rest." Ah Chun nodded and moved to the side but did not go far as she watched Li Chen Bao do her test.  All the youths who had passed were in an uproar as this was the first time today that the orb had broken when someone took their test. Ah Chun had a feeling this would happen so she did not look surprised at all.

"Next!" 

Li Chen Bao stepped forward nervously. The middle aged looking man looked at Li Chen Bao as he replaced the cracked orb with a new one, he then said: "Place your hand on the orb."

Li Chen Bao stretched her hand out and placed it on the orb. A few seconds went by and a bright golden light filled the area. It was not as bright as when Ah Chun touched it but it was far brighter than that of those who had passed before. "Very good! Rank ten talent is also very rare! Go stand with the rest."

"Wait!" A voice sounded out.

The middle aged looking man's face turned black as he turned towards the voice. "Elder Dan what are you doing here!?"

"Humph!" A woman who looked to be in her late twenties floated down from the sky. "Sect Master said I could take two disples of my chosen this year as my direct disciples. I want those two" Elder Dan pointed her fingers at Li Chen Bao and Ah Chun. 

The middle aged looking man gritted his teeth as he saw the mocking smirk on Elder Dan's face. "Elder Zedong are you going to fight me for them when the Sect Master has already given me his word?"

Elder Zedong glared at Elder Dan. ' This damn woman! She shows up out of nowhere and steals the two rare talents he found! He wanted to make the two girls his direct disciples! But now... ' Letting out an angered sigh, Elder Zedong waved his hand and said in a defeated tone: "Just take them..." 

Elder Dan smiled as she turned to Ah Chun and Li Chen Bao. "You two will be my direct disciples. From now on I will be your master." 

Ah Chun stepped forward and knelt to the ground. Li Chen Bao who was still in a daze was pulled down by Ah Chun. Ah Chun then Proceeded to kowtow three times as she said: "Disciples greets master!"

Following Ah Chun's direction, Li Chen Bao did the same: "Disciple Greets Master!"

"Good!" Elder Dan then took out a sword. It floated in the air and grew in size before flying over to Ah Chun and Li Chen Bao and landing in front of them. "Hop on I will take you to the sect now." 

Ah Chun grabbed Li Chen Bao's hand and pulled her along as she climbed on to the sword that was just wide enough for her to sit down on. Li Chen Bao sat close to Ah Chun and held on to her arm nervously. "Hehe… Bao'er congratulations on passing. Seems like we will be spending plenty of time together for a long time." 

"Little Chun I'm not sure if I am in a dream or not? Am I really going to learn how to cultivate?" Li Chen Bao asked.

"Trust me this is no dream. Bao'er you are about to walk on the path of immortality. It is a long journey filled with much bloodshed. It will take a bit of getting used to. But as long as you are dedicated the benefits are overwhelming! " Ah Chun explained.
