Chapter 43 Sword Tower

*****************¶¶*****************

"Next!"

The test continued until it got to someone Arthur was very interested in.

"Name," Thomas asked.

"Sun Wukong," was the reply he got.

Thomas looked at the young man curiously, mostly because of his dressing. The clothes, he wore looked like that of a beggar.

Along with his haggard-looking hair and bright yellow eyes, he stood out with his appearance. Plus, he was the only one here that was barefooted.

After saying his name, Sun Wukong placed his hand on the box and his age appeared.

[16.9]

"Name: Sun Wukong, Age; 16 years and 9 months old, Cultivation Level; Rank Two Gold Core Realm!"

"Hmm, another talented Swordling. Okay, move aside."

Sun Wukong nodded and hummed as he moved to the area where those who had been registered were.

"Wow, two geniuses at the Gold Core Realm. I guess the main competition amongst us newly admitted would be between those two," someone said.

"No you're wrong," another replied.

"Huh, how do you mean?"

"You were part of those that went for the test of Martial Spirit right?"

"Uh, yeah?"

"I knew it! You see, there is this other guy who should be stronger than that Zaith."

"Really, then I'd like to see him too.."

People discussed silently as the test continued.

If it was any other disciple in charge they would have been told to keep quiet but Thomas couldn't care less.

Meanwhile, Arthur was thinking something way different than the others who just felt that Sun Wukong was a genius.

'Sun Wukong?'

'As in The Sun Wukong?!'

'I knew this guy was special. Damn, the way my Fate Sense vibrates when I look at him.'

'His name...if he is connected to the Sun Wukong that I know of in Mythology, then I have to get him to my side!' Arthur decided in his heart.

'And the people's reaction, no one has any idea of who he could be?'

'Sun Wukong...The Great Sage...I look forward to meeting you,' Arthur smiled.

While he was thinking, his turn came.

"Name?"

"Invincible," Arthur said trying not to smirk.

"Okay..."

"Place your hand on the box," Thomas instructed with disinterest.

'Tch, this guy,' Arthur thought the guy was unique.

While Thomas thought, 'You want me to get shocked and angry that you had such a name, and then try to make you change it because of pride like some useless villain?...sorry, but that whole thing is such a drag.'

Thomas didn't even bother to ask if that was Arthur's real name and continued with what he was supposed to do.

The others, however...

"Invincible? What kind of name is that?"

"This guy's just showing off. He better be careful bearing such a name in the Sect."

"Hey, wanna guess how long he will last in the sect before being forced to change his name?"

A name like that will attract a lot of trouble in a sect like this, which is filled with unyielding sword cultivators that would never admit to being below anyone.

Zaith looked at Arthur who had placed his hand on the age testing box.

'Invincible...I wonder... would you be able to bear the pressure of such a name in a sect filled with monsters?'

Sun Wukong also looked at Arthur curiously, 'Hmm, he feels strong...I would like to fight him and know who's stronger!'

'Master...I will definitely be strong enough to assist you,' Luke said in his heart.

"Name: Invincible, Age; 15 years and 3 months old, Cultivation Level; Peak Spirit Condensation Realm."

"Good, you are the youngest here and your cultivation is sturdy enough, that you are almost on the verge of a breakthrough and can do so anytime," Thomas said as he touched his glasses.

Arthur nodded and moved to the side.

Thomas had to use the glasses which was an artifact that checked people's cultivation level.

Because only those that had awakened spirit power can evaluate a person's cultivation, and he had not reached that realm yet.

"Next!"

*******

After the registration, Liam came back and led them to another location. This time, they climbed one of the magnificent mountains.

"This mountain is called Sword Peak."

The most up to-date novels are published on Novel(Next)[.]com

"This place holds one of the most valued training grounds for Sword Cultivators."

Liam told them as they climbed the mountain, which had a tiled path made of stairs.

When they arrived at the peak of the mountain, they saw a tower in the distance, that was tall enough to reach the clouds.

It had a total of 33 floors and had tiny sword-shaped symbols engraved all over it.

A big stone slab was in front of the tower and it bore its title.

[ SWORD TOWER ]

"As you can see this is Sword Tower," Liam led them to the doors of the tower.

"The Sword Tower is a high-grade Earth-Rank Artifact. It allows disciples to test their battle strength and talent for combat."

"Every new outer-sect disciple is required to go through it the first time. After that first time, it won't be so easy to train here again. So you all do your best," Liam said as they reached the entrance.

In front of the Sword Tower were two Sect Elders.

One was a man in his forties and the other was a woman who looked to be in her late twenties. The woman was rather young amongst the Elders.

"Greetings Elders, they are here," Liam bowed to the Elders.

The man and woman nodded at Liam's greeting and looked at Arthur and the rest evaluated them.

Arthur felt a power trying to peer into his body. It was the spirit power of the Elders, but an obscure power arose from his Dantian and limited the spirit power of the Elders.

Due to that interference, they could only sense ten drops of essence energy in Arthur, and the other ninety drops escaped their scan.

"Hmm, Sophia it appears we have a bunch of good seedlings this year," said the male Elder.

"That's right Elder David, I can sense potential swordsmen amongst them...and please don't just call me by my name," the female Elder whispered the last part in a little anger.

"Hehehe, I'm sorry..."

"Hmph!"

Elder David looked at Arthur and the rest and began to explain in detail what the Sword Tower in all about.
