Chapter 99 Ch-99: Shocked Elders
"Alright, with that done, we can now commence the examination," announced Fan Mo, the head examiner
As soon as his words fell, the elders who had been holding the orbs to measure the Cultivators' levels quickly set up multiple wooden buildings using their mystical powers
" Everyone please line up and stand in front of one of the wooden buildings " Fan Mo announced as all the Cultivators lined up in front of the buildings
Wang Ming was listening intently when he felt a tug on his clothes. He looked down to see Bai Lingxi urging him impatiently. "Hey, let's go line up quickly," she said.
They hurried over to the least crowded line and waited for their turn
After some time had passed it was finally Bai Lingxi's turn, she was excited to show off " Finally, it's my turn" Bai Lingxi said
As Bai Lingxi stepped inside the wooden building, she took a quick glance around to observe her surroundings. The room was spacious, with a high ceiling and smooth wooden floors. The walls were made of uncolored wood, and in the center of the room stood a table made of the same material. The lighting in the room was dim, with only a few lanterns hanging from the ceiling, casting soft shadows on the walls. Despite the dim lighting, the room was still well-lit, and everything was clearly visible
There was a table placed in the center of the room and behind the table, a beautiful woman with long black hair was holding a colorless orb in her hand
Next to her, stood a middle-aged, handsome man dressed in a long robe. He had a stern expression on his face as he waited patiently for the participants to arrive
' So beautiful ' the middle-aged man shone for a few moments before it disappeared and was replaced by his indifferent expression
' Hmm, if she passes and is a Dual Cultivator maybe I can pair her up with my son and make her his partner' the man thought in his mind
" Put your hand on the orb and channel your spiritual, and the results will be displayed on the display token we have with us" the woman said in an indifferent voice as Bai Lingxi put her hand on the orb and channeled her spiritual energy into the orb
After she was done, the token in their hands started to vibrate, and when they saw the result their eyes widened in shock
< Cultivation level: 9th order of the Golden Core Realm >
'Heaven's she is stronger than all of the core disciples of the sect and even stronger than most of the inner court elders and some core elders ' the woman thought in her mind as she stared at Bai Lingxi as if she was some kind of treasure
" Girl what is your name ??" the woman asked
" Bai Lingxi" she replied
" Bai LIngxi are you Dual Cultivator?" the man asked hurriedly
" Yes, I am " Bai Lingxi replied
" Then do you want to be my son's partner, he is an inner court disciple who will soon be promoted into a core disciple, even though you are strong enough to be a core disciple, you won't be able to become a core disciple right at the moment if you don't have a capable partner" the man hurriedly said which caused Bai Lingxi to frown
" I will have to politely decline senior I already have a partner and junior sister who is also his partner and both of them have higher cultivation than me who also came to participate here in the sect test" Bai Lingxi said in a calm voice
When the man heard that she already has a partner, he became disappointed but it was soon replaced with curiosity and excitement when he heard that her junior sister and partner is much stronger, even the cold-faced woman showed excitement
' Stronger, hmm, are they also at the Core Formation Realm?' the woman thought inside her mind
' If what she really said is the truth then our sect will have a shot at winning the competition for sure' the man thought in his mind
" What's your partner's and senior sister's name ?" the man asked
" Wang Ming and Shi Yu " Bai Lingxi replied with a smile when she saw the excitement in their eyes
" Here take this token which shows you have passed the first round" the woman threw a token toward Bai Lingxi which she caught in her hand while the woman and man memorized Wang Ming's and Shi Yu's names as Bai LIngxi exited the place
Wang Ming and Shi Yu who were waiting outside saw Bai Lingxi come out while grinning at them
" Huh, why are you smiling like that?" Wang Ming asked
" No, I was just smirking while thinking about the elder's face when I told them that both of you had higher cultivation than me" Wang Ming and Shi Yu smirked, they could easily guess what it was about
" Oh, Shi Yu it's your turn now" Wang Ming said to Shi Yu as she slowly went inside the wooden building
When Shi Yu entered the room she could feel the anticipation in the room
" Excuse me, young lady, what is your name ?" the female asked with a smile while her cold expression which she had previously completely disappeared
" You can call me Shi Yu " she said with a smile causing both of the elders to look at her in increased excitement
" Please, put your hand on top of the orb and channel your spiritual energy in it " the female instructed as Shi Yu did what she said
After some time, the observation token which both of them had their eyes glued to displayed the result, and when the results came out they were rubbing their eyes and pinched themselves to check if this was a dream or not
< Cultivation Level: 2nd Order of the Golden Core Realm >
" I-Impossible" the man muttered and had a trace of fear as he looked at the smiling Shi Yu
' Heaven's, she has the same Cultivation level as the supreme elder of our sect' The woman was keeping a calm facade on the outside but her mind was in turmoil inside
' What the hell is a Cultivator of the 2nd order of the Golden Core Realm doing here ?? Even the great families who are participating in the exam are not this powerful, I doubt only the family heads are at the Golden Core Realm?? Why did we not hear about her before??' all sorts of questions started appearing inside the sect elder's head
" Here, this is your disciple token, wait outside for the second round to begin" The woman forced a smile as Shi Yu left the room while humming
" We need to inform the sect leader immediately" the man said when he saw her leaving their sights of vision
Meanwhile, somewhere within the Yang-Yin sect, the sect leader and core elders were gathered in the room discussing the competition that will be held
" Sect Leader do you know the reason why the royal family suddenly announced this competition?" asked one of the elders in the room
" Well, I have a hunch but I am not completely sure about that so I won't comment on it" the sect leader, Jiang Hong, said with a serious look on his face
"Hmm?? " one of the elders who had a white beard on his face looked at the communication token vibrating in his hands
" Surpeme elder, is something wrong?" asked one of the elders present in the room
" Hmm no, someone is communicating with me, I gave these communication tokens to the elders conducting the exam to communicate with me if something important happened," Lei Ping, the supreme elder, said with a frown on his face
" Did something happen?" the sect leader muttered with a frown on his face
" Hello, who is this?" the supreme elder asked in a calm voice
" S-supreme elder, I am an outer sect elder who is in charge of the first round?" the nervous voice of a male could be heard from the token
"First Round?? " the sect leader mumbled under his breath
" Su-supreme elder a situation has occurred here" the man said while gulping a mouthful of saliva
" Hmm, what could have happened in the first round that you had to communicate with me " the supreme elder asked without any nervousness but curiosity
" Elder, there was a female named Bai Lingxi and her Cultitavtion level was at the 9th order of the Core Formation realm" the man informed and everyone's eyes lit up except the leader's and supreme elder's
" Hmm, that's good but I am sure this is not the reason you used the communication token, right?" the supreme elder asked
" N-no elder it's not for this reason but..." the voice paused for some time which caused everyone in the room to raise their eyebrows
" You see, the second woman who arrived after her, called Bai Lingxi was at the 2nd stage of the Golden Core Realm" the man informed and pin drop silence prevailed in the room for some time
