Chapter 259: Assessment of Outer Sect Disciples

Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Assessment of Outer Sect Disciples

Now, after the first round of screening, there remained only about two hundred young men and women.

Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but exclaim.

The ’quality’ of talented warriors in the Green Forest Royal Country was indeed incomparable to that of Crimson Heaven.

Surprisingly, even after such stringent requirements, so many of them were left.

"Those of you remaining, come with me!"

With the elder’s order, two Inner Sect disciples from Seven Stars Sword Clan led the way. Wyatt Barnes and his group followed behind, grandly mounting the ’Heavenly Pivot Peak’.

Heavenly Pivot Peak, the Primary Peak of Seven Stars Sword Clan!

Along the way, the elder said in a booming voice, "I am the elder in charge of this examination for Outer Disciples. You may call me ’Examination Elder’... You being able to ascend the Heavenly Pivot Peak signifies that you are one step closer to becoming an Outer Disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan!"

"However, whether you can become an Outer Disciple depends on your own capability."

The elder continued, "Even as an Outer Disciple, don’t get complacent...There is a rule in the Seven Stars Sword Clan - those who do not pass the Inner Sect Examination before the age of thirty will be expelled from the Seven Stars Sword Clan!"

Many people were shocked by the elder’s words.

Expelled from the Seven Stars Sword Clan if not advancing to Inner Disciple before the age of thirty?

"From what I’ve heard, one must at least reach the Seventh-Order of the Original Pill Realm to become an Inner Disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan."

"I’ve also heard that even with the Seventh-Order accomplishment in the Original Pill Realm, it’s not guaranteed to pass the Inner Sect Examination... One needs to be at Level Eight in the Original Pill Realm to have a higher rate of success."

...

Many of the young men and women began whispering among themselves.

Although they were all talented, to reach the Seventh or Eight Level of the Original Pill Realm before the age of thirty seemed daunting.

Many of them suddenly felt immense pressure.

Wyatt Barnes listened to the whispered discussions around him, wearing a faint smile.

"Scoundrel, do you think I can reach Level Eight of the Original Pill Realm before I turn thirty?"

Jovie Lee looked at Wyatt Barnes, feeling slightly nervous.

"As long as you do as I say, I promise you will reach Level Eight of the Original Pill Realm before you turn twenty-five, how does that sound?"

Wyatt Barnes whispered into Jovie Lee’s ear, his voice laced with anticipation...

"You little Devil!"

Jovie Lee gave Wyatt Barnes a white-eyed look and blushed, her flush extending to her neck.

Many of the young men watched Wyatt Barnes and Jovie Lee’s intimate display with envious eyes, as if they could pierce him through...

However, Wyatt Barnes simply ignored these gazes.

About two hundred people followed the elder, arriving at the mid-level of Heavenly Pivot Peak.

Here, there was a broad stone platform; already many people were gathered around it.

With a sharp eye, Wyatt Barnes saw six groups standing there.

Five of the groups were led by an elderly man, with three to four young men standing behind them.

These elder men were the ones from Seven Stars Sword Clan. As for the young men behind them, all of them were Outer Disciples without exception.

The other group consisted all of women.

While the styles of clothing donned by the female disciples of Seven Stars Sword Clan were also bluish-green as the men, they were slightly different, possessing less of a hardened aura and more gentleness, much to the onlookers’ pleasure.

The group of women was led by a beautiful lady, her features captivating and her bearing composed.

She was one of the elders from Seven Stars Sword Clan.

Three young women, who were Outer Disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan, followed behind her.

Wyatt Barnes and the others entered the stone platform following the Examination Elder’s lead.

Meanwhile, the beautiful woman led her group of three young women forward to meet them. The other five elders stayed in their original places.

"What’s happening here?"

A questioning thought arose in Wyatt Barnes’s mind.

However, the answer quickly became clear.

The Examination Elder scanned the group and said, "All females within our group are exempted from the examination and will directly become Outer Disciples of Seven Stars Sword Clan. Now, you will accompany Shimmering Light Peak’s ’Jade Elder’ to Shimmering Light Peak, becoming disciples of the Peak."

The Examination Elder’s words shocked all the young men and women who had ascended Heavenly Pivot Peak.

Excluded from the exam? Directly becoming Outer Disciples of Seven Stars Sword Clan?

The young women’s faces lit up with joy.

The young men on the other hand were stunned - could this really happen?

A ludicrous idea arose within some of the men: they lamented not being born female...

"All female disciples, come with me."

The matronly woman who had come forward, also known as ’Jade Elder’ from Shimmering Light Peak, spoke, her voice calm, devoid of any emotion.

"Off you go."

Wyatt Barnes smiled encouragingly at the two girls beside him.

Seeing the hesitation of the two girls, Wyatt Barnes reassured, "Once I become an Outer Disciple, I will come to look for you."

Upon hearing this, the two girls sweetly nodded and joined the stream of young women leaving the platform.

Among the young women, Jovie Lee and Keer stood out markedly...

Due to the massive crowd earlier, several people hadn’t noticed these two. As they followed the thirty or so women departing the platform, all eyes in the gathering turned towards them.

"So beautiful!"

Many men’s eyes shone, mesmerized by the extraordinary beauty of Jovie Lee and Keer.

Even the beautiful Jade Elder, now looking at Jovie Lee and Keer, her eyes couldn’t help but brighten, along with a hint of surprise.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t seen such extraordinarily beautiful women before.

But it was rare to find women with such stunning beauty who also possessed astounding talents...

Many beautiful women, with ordinary talents, at most end up as ’vases’.

Soon, the beautiful woman greeted the exam elder and left with a group of young women, clearly heading back to Shimmering Light Peak.

"I heard that the women disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan all reside on Shimmering Light Peak... I didn’t expect it to be true".

Said a young man not far from Wyatt Barnes.

"Of course...I heard the female disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan usually practice on Shimmering Light Peak. On Heavenly Pivot Peak, you could also see some female disciples, but these disciples are all from the Inner Sect, and they are not young."

A young man ended the conversation, looking strange.

"I’m really envious of them, they can skip assessments and become sect disciples directly."

Many people looked envious.

"Actually, it’s understandable. After all, they are women. For women to meet the elder examiner’s selection criteria is already quite rare... becoming external disciples directly is reasonable."

Someone else spoke.

The latter’s words won the general agreement of most people.

Women are inherently weaker than men.

Wyatt’s gaze was fixed on Jovie Lee and Keer until they disappeared from his sight, following Jade Elder of Shimmering Light Peak to a higher place on Heavenly Pivot Peak. Only then did he withdraw his gaze.

At this time, including Wyatt Barnes, the remaining one hundred and fifty or so young men also followed the examination elder to the center of the high platform.

The examination elder suddenly turned around and looked at Wyatt and the other young men.

When the group saw this, they stopped in their tracks.

"Out of all of you here, only a hundred can remain... In other words, fifty-three of you will be eliminated!"

The exam elder stared sharply, sweeping his gaze across the young men, causing many of them who were already somewhat uneasy to change their complexions.

Right now, they were exactly one hundred and fifty-three in number.

This meant that more than a third of them would be eliminated.

"I wonder what the assessment will be?"

Wyatt thought for a bit, a little curious, but also looking forward to it.

Wyatt was confident about passing the assessment, so he was not worried.

Suddenly.

"Huh?"

Wyatt’s face changed.

Because he discovered that on the body of the exam elder, a powerful aura instantaneously enveloped including him, pressing on the group of young men...

This powerful aura belonged to a strong expert of the Peep Naught Realm.

And it wasn’t an ordinary Peep Naught Realm expert’s aura!

"The examination elder is actually a Seventh-Order expert in the Peep Naught Realm."

Wyatt was a little shocked; but the aura did not have much influence on him, after all, his mental strength was equivalent to an Original Infant Realm martial artist.

New to these, his perseverance was not something ordinary people could compare to.

Having lived through two lives, Wyatt quickly noticed that under these unforeseen circumstances, more than ten young men collapsed on the ground instantly. The young men who had collapsed on the ground could no longer stand up and lay on the ground shaking...

To them, the aura of a Seventh-Order Peep Naught Realm expert was too powerful.

Shortly after, Wyatt noticed that several more people had fallen.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Above the void, one ancient giant elephant phantom after another took shape as the remaining young men reacted, one after another, using their strength to resist the assessment elder’s aura.

For a time, the space above was filled with densely packed ancient giant elephant phantoms, and it was impossible to tell which elephant phantoms belonged to whom.

Boom!

Soon after, another young man fell down, foaming at the mouth.

Time flowed quietly.

Now there were only a hundred and twenty-seven young men standing...

By now, almost everyone on the scene could realise that the sudden aura of the Peep Naught Realm expert was their ’outer sect disciple assessment’...

The first dozen or so people who collapsed on the ground lay there with bitter and helpless faces.

They knew they were destined to have no future with the Seven Stars Sword Clan.

Only a small part of the remaining one hundred and twenty-seven people stood firm.

Most people’s bodies were shaking, likely to fall at any time.

They gritted their teeth and held on.

They all knew that as long as twenty-seven more people fell and they didn’t, they would pass the assessment.

"This is so boring."

Wyatt stood in the crowd, yawned, and stretched out lazily.
