Chapter 3 Sect Test
Chapter 3 Sect Test
"Yes, yes, of course we have it! We have whatever you want to eat!"
Several people answered in unison. Tao Tao was overjoyed to hear this, but also a little conflicted. They all had delicious food there. Could she go there by herself for a while and then she could eat all kinds of delicious food?
Just when she was at her wit's end, several beams of light, all of different colors, appeared in the sky. They were the arrival of young noblemen who had arrived in flying cars or by their own magical artifacts.
There were quite a few people this year, which greatly pleased these disciples of the Annihilation Cold Sect.
The first to land was a man dressed in fine clothes and wearing a blue long ruler-shaped magic weapon. He was accompanied by two attendants and walked majestically toward the gate.
"Young Master, it seems you are the first to arrive this time. I heard that the Annihilation Frost Sect offers an extra reward for the first person to arrive. Perhaps you can be admitted to the inner sect without even having to take a test."
The servant beside him fawned obsequiously, saying he was just waiting for the young master to be pleased and give him a reward.
The man in the fine clothes glanced confidently at the group of people slowly approaching in the sky, and strode forward. After taking only two steps, he saw a pink and tender little girl standing not far away, looking at him.
Judging from her clothes, she doesn't seem to be a disciple of the Annihilation Palace. Could she be the first one to arrive?
Sensing that his young master's expression was off, another servant immediately scolded Tao Tao, "Girl, go back to where you came from! This is not a place for you to meddle!"
"A girl? Are you talking about me?" Tao Tao's big eyes flickered, and he pointed at himself with a blank expression as he asked.
"Who else could it be but you? Get out of here right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
These people, relying on their prestigious family background, naturally didn't treat Tao Tao well and completely bullied her.
Tao Tao didn't understand. He stood there motionless, his big eyes darting around as he wondered if the food in front of him was edible, since it didn't look very appetizing.
Seeing that Tao Tao ignored him, the man's expression changed drastically, and he actually slapped Tao Tao on the forehead.
"Huh?" Upon seeing this, Tao Tao let out a surprised exclamation. He calmly raised his hand and, with the strength of his single hand, grabbed the person's wrist and bit him. His two small sharp teeth dug into the person's flesh, causing the person to scream in pain.
"Ah! You little thing, how dare you bite me!" The man was furious, swinging his arm forcefully, but he couldn't shake Tao Tao off. In the end, Tao Tao let go on his own, his little face contorted in disgust, sticking out his tongue. "You don't taste good at all!"
When the members of the Annihilation Cold Sect saw this, they all smiled knowingly, and their determination to get Tao Tao became even stronger.
"You!" Having been made so disheveled by a little girl, the man was naturally unwilling to let it go, otherwise he would be punished by his young master when he returned. He glared at Tao Tao and was about to continue his attack.
"This is the Annihilation Cold Sect. When did you get permission to fight like this?" Uncle Wu shouted, releasing his aura. The three of them immediately felt as if their bodies were filled with lead, unable to move at all, and could only lie on the ground in a sorry state.
Realizing he had inadvertently offended this elder, the young master in the lead quickly apologized, "We were wrong, please forgive us, senior. We absolutely did not mean to offend this lady, cough, junior sister..."
"You haven't even started yet, so there's no need to rush to call her 'Junior Sister' or 'Little Girl.' Just come to my Hundred Medicine Hall after the test."
Before Tao Tao could answer, Uncle Wu turned and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye, clearly not giving her a chance to refuse.
The others secretly grumbled, "Isn't this blatant robbery? They shouldn't be bullying people like this."
The other people who came to become apprentices only heard one sentence left by Uncle Wu, and they immediately looked at each other in surprise, and couldn't help but cast envious glances at Tao Tao.
It wasn't until the last bell rang that Song Chaofeng and the other two hurriedly arrived, panting heavily and unable to speak. They only heard Senior Sister Qu's cold and beautiful voice, "Now that everyone is here, come with me to Tianbao Pavilion for the test."
After speaking, he flicked his wrist, and a white ribbon flew out from his sleeve, enveloping everyone and soaring into the sky.
Standing on the ribbon, one can take in the entire Yanhan Sect. As expected of one of the three major sects of Fengyuan, its scale and architecture are astonishing. Looking at the scenery below, everyone is stunned, as if they are in a fairyland.
Song Chaofeng, standing beside Tao Tao, didn't even have time to tell her about the hardships he had endured on his journey. He was completely captivated by the scenery before him, his eyes shining brightly.
"What's that in the clouds? It looks so blurry, I can't make it out at all."
Someone asked excitedly, but Senior Sister Qu, standing at the top of the ribbon, glanced in the direction they were pointing and said coldly, "That is the Ascension Platform where the Ancestor descended. With your current cultivation, you naturally cannot see through the restrictions there. However, this time, the new disciples can listen to the Ancestor's teachings in three months. This is a great opportunity, so you must seize it."
Ask the Immortal Platform? Tao Tao tilted his head, his eyes clearly seeing the scene over there. A huge silver lotus flower was blooming in mid-air, surrounded by an ethereal aura, which was even more beautiful than other places in the Annihilation Cold Sect.
After circling around, they finally arrived at Tianbao Pavilion, where seven senior uncles and aunts at the Core Formation stage were waiting for them, including Senior Uncle Wu.
The group slowly walked in, bowing respectfully to their seven senior uncles. Uncle Wu's gaze remained fixed on Tao Tao, but he couldn't show it too obviously, lest someone else take a liking to him.
Everyone here is at the Core Formation stage, so the little guy's strength is perfectly clear to him. He can't hide it from him anyway. He just hopes that Tao Tao will choose him in the end, so that their Hundred Medicines Hall can finally hold its head high.
"A transformed demon beast? A celestial spiritual root, not bad. It seems there are many talented people this year." Fu Jingshan of Luoyin Palace smiled and stroked his beard, quite satisfied with this year's disciples.
As the announcement of "Test begins" rang out, Fu Jingshan waved his hand, and a blue light shot out from his fingertip, transforming into a spinning ball of light that flew towards the crowd below.
As the ball of light circled behind the person, a strand of spiritual energy darted into the person's brow. The energy quickly flew back into the ball of light, and a clear, cold female voice followed, "Dual spiritual roots of metal and wood, passed."
"Water-based Heavenly Spiritual Root, passed."
"Pseudo-spiritual roots of wind, water, thunder, and fire, eliminated."
"..."
In the blink of an eye, most people had finished their tests, but Song Chaofeng waited anxiously. Seeing the ball of light flying towards Tao Tao beside him, he quickly transmitted his voice, "Tao Tao, it's your turn."
Tao Tao nodded, somewhat expectant. Just as the spiritual threads were about to separate and enter her body, a terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly came from outside the door, causing all the disciples, including several senior uncles and elders, to freeze in place, unable to move, and feeling a chill down their spines.
"No need to test anymore, little one, go to our Fairy Valley."
An aged yet authoritative voice broke through the air. Although the person did not appear, the group of Golden Core stage disciples hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Elder You Yunzi."
"No need for formalities." In an instant, an old man with a white beard dressed in a black robe appeared beside Tao Tao. He smiled kindly at her, then waved his sleeve, and the two of them disappeared into the Tianbao Pavilion as a bolt of lightning.
