Chapter 98 Ch-98: Start Of The Entrance Exam



" H-Heaven Rank, W-weapon, are you serious?" Shi Yu stuttered trying to form her words 

"Hmm, not only the bow I have is a Heaven Rank weapon, but also a peak grade weapon" Wang Ming said in a nonchalant manner but Bai Lingxi and Shi Yu had their mouths hung open

" WHAT, PEAK GRADE???" Shi Yu screamed, if before she was mildly shocked now she was completely dumbfounded, peak grade weapons were the rarest types of weapons just like peak-grade pills, and peak-grade weapons of lower rank can easily contend with weapons of higher rank but if  they are peak grade as well, the lower rank weapon will be suppressed 

" Sigh, I won't even ask how you got it" Bai Lingxi sighed but then looked at Wang Ming with expectation written on her 

Wang Ming looked at the space ring which he bought before arriving in Yang-Yin City on his fingers, and a bow materialized in front of him

Before them stood a bow of exquisite craftsmanship, its golden surface shimmering in the light. The elongated shape curved gracefully, with sinewy limbs stretching out on either side, tapering off to pointed tips. As they gazed upon it, they couldn't help but be mesmerized by its beauty.

The bow was clearly designed by the craftsman in maximizing precision and power, its taut strings were ready to launch an arrow with deadly accuracy. There were no arrows or quivers to be seen, leaving the bow to stand alone in all its glory.  The weapon itself was a masterpiece, capable of standing on its own as a symbol of strength and skill reflecting the dedication and effort of the creator

The golden color of the bow seemed to radiate a sense of awe and reverence as if it was crafted from a rare and precious metal. It was a stunning work of art, a testament to the skill of its creator. And as they studied it further, they felt a deep sense of respect for the craftsmanship and care that had gone into making such a magnificent weapon.

Shi Yu, Bai Lingxi, and even Wang Ming's eyes widened in amazement when they saw the beauty of the bow 

" Bai Lingxi take it, it's called the Brilliant Bow" Wang Ming said as he handed the bow to Bai Lingxi who grasped the bow tightly in her hands 

' So this is a heaven-ranked weapon ' Bai Lingxi thought in her mind as she felt the power of the bow coursing through her body as she drew back the string of the bow, Bai Lingxi felt that she could easily defeat thousands of enemies stronger than her with the combination of the techniques and the bow she received from Wang Ming

" Thanks, Wang Ming, I can't wait to try it" Bai Lingxi said as she was eager to test out her new powers 

" Good, I am sure there will be plenty of opportunity for you to try out your new powers with the bow in the entrance sect examination, for now, let's start making our way for the examination ground before it gets too crowded" Wang Ming commented as both of them nodded their head in agreement and followed behind Wang Ming towards the grounds 

Sometime later all three of them arrived at the sect examination ground and as expected there was a sea of Cultivators present at the moment chatting amongst themselves in excited voices 

Many minutes later they arrived at the front of the sect gate where the first round shall take place and there was a board hanging from the gate which had ' Yang-Ying Sect' written in bold and big letters, beside the gate was some kind of  array he failed to recognize 

' Hey, system what is that array used for?' Wang Ming asked the system as he was not proficient in the Dao Of Arrays 

[ System Message: This is a teleportation array which by the looks is connected to a separate subspace, most like the cultivators participating will be teleported to the examination sight from here as it was recently made ]

The system replied to which Wang Ming nodded his head in understanding, he knew there was no way the elders would allow a battle to break in front of their sect

After waiting for a few more minutes a middle-aged man wearing the robes of the sect arrived in front of them flying on a sword 

' Soul Eyes' Wang Ming activated his technique to check information on the man

[ Name: Fan Mo ]

[ Age: 219 ]

[ Cultivation: 6th order of the Core Formation Realm ]

[ Occupation: Inner court elder of the Yang-Yin sect, Combat Division ]

[ Physiques: None]

[ Bloodline: None]

' So old!' Wang Ming exclaimed in his mind even though he knew Cultivators could live for millions of years and even become immortal but seeing someone this old was still difficult to comprehend 

' What is the combat division?' Wang Ming pondered for a second but quickly shifted his attention toward the old man who was about to speak 

" Welcome to the Yang-Yin sect entrance examination, I am Fan Mo, an elder of the inner court belonging to the Combat Divison! Before we begin I must inform you about the test and rules" Fan Mo said in a loud voice causing the cultivators to pay full attention to his next words 

" In the first round, the outer court elders will check your Cultivation level to see if it meets the desired requirements with the Qi measurement orb" the man pointed at the group of people who were wearing the robes of the outer sect elders while carrying a colorless clear crystal orbs which was the size as their palms 

" Elder, what is the required cultivation realm to be eligible to advance to the second round?" asked one of the cultivators in the crowd 

" One has to be in the foundation realm to be able to pass the first round " Fan Mo stated in a clear voice 

" What? wasn't the requirement to be in the Qi Gathering Realm last year??" asked a cultivator

" Yeah, I heard from my brother who is an inner sect disciple, it was indeed the case" stated a second cultivator 

" Why did they suddenly increase the threshold for the requirement ??" chimed in a third cultivator 

The crowd erupted in murmurs while some were commenting on the unfairness of the test

" Silence, this decision was made by the sect leader and no one can change it, if someone is displeased they are welcome to leave, moreover due to the announcement of the Royal Family of Black Bamboo empire the other sects are also implementing the same thresholds while some of them have also increased the threshold to the Core Formation Realm" Fan Mo announced and the crowd immediately quietened down when they heard the other sects were implementing harsher thresholds  than the Yang-Yin sect 

" Now let me explain the second round of the test, as you can see that array inside the gate is a teleportation array that will send you to the site of the second examination where you must at least kill 11 Foundation Realm beasts to pass the exam but if you can acquire more you may have the chance to become the personal disciple of a core elder " Fan Mo explained which caused few of them to break out in cold sweat when they heard they had to kill 11 powerful beasts while the rest were excited being able to become the disciple of an elder 

" Now for the last round, as this is a Dual Cultivation sect you must have the ability to pleasure your partner in bed and this round will test your ability to satisfy your partner, the males participating must provide a massage to one of the females selected by our sect and bring her to climax to pass the test with only using your hands and without touching any inappropriate parts while the females must do the same to the males selected by our sect" Fan Mo explained calmy 

" Now, for the people who have partners already, their partners do not need to participate in the last round but you have to kill ten extra beasts for every partner you bring with yourself " Fan Mo explained and noticed some of them had ugly expressions while others were clam and indifferent 

" One more thing I forgot to mention is that a newly appointed policy will be put forward due to the sudden announcement of the competition by the royal family, if anyone does not want to engage in Dual Cultivation they are also welcome to join our sect which would not be possible in the past but now it is allowed but they must kill at least 45 beasts in the first round to join our sect and will receive top priority to be nurtured by our sect " Fan Mo informed when some of the observers who heard this, mostly females who did not want engage in Dual Cultivation also joined the group from the spectator's group 

" Alright with that done, the examination will now commence" Fan Mo announced
