"Focus on swordsmanship from now on?" Ning Yuechan asked.
Gu Qing Shan's expression was still a bit hesitant, hesitantly asked: "I feel like in between swordsmanship training, I can also occasionally train my Blade skills"
"You can't" Ning Yuechan tried to persuade her, "no matter if it's the Blade or swordsmanship, the most important thing is to focus on one thing, you can't be distracted"
"Then, then fine" Gu Qing Shan reluctantly agreed. "Then I'll focus on my swordsmanship"
"Hm, that's right" Ning Yuechan was pleased.
All the male cultivators here lowered their heads, speechless.
Saintess, your usual style isn't like this!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
A loud and clear bell rang out.
The 3rd round of the semester examination was about to begin.
Ning Yuechan regretfully said: "I have to go, I'm in charge of the 3rd round"
"Alright" Gu Qing Shan nodded, took out a communication talisman and gave it to her.
This was his communication talisman.
Ning Yuechan silently received it, took out her own talisman, lowered her head and gave it to Gu Qing Shan.
All the female cultivators covered their mouths, but their eyes were smiling.
Ning Yuechan was a bit shy, so she tilted her head and casually said: "Junior sisters, let's go"
"Senior brother, we'll be going first, see you again!"
"See you again"
"See you big sis!"
"Little sister, listen to your senior brother, if you have time, come to Heaven's Limit Sect to play"
"Alright, I'll be there"
After saying goodbye, Ning Yuechan brought the happy junior sisters back to Heaven's Limit Sect.
"How was the man?" a female cultivator quietly asked.
The junior sisters all held their secret art jade tags and answered: "Full marks!"
Following that, the 3rd round of the semester examination began.
At this point of the semester examination, the elders and sect masters of the big sects finally started to get serious.
The elite disciples who were leading the group also showed an expression of interest.
The first round of the Annual Examinations was very simple. It was just a preliminary look at the newcomers. The second round was to pass the examination and observe their temperament and talents to confirm that they were people who walked the path of cultivation.
This was something that ought to be done. Otherwise, if it was a disciple that was cowardly like a mouse or an ordinary person that wasn't willing to cultivate at all, then even if they had good cultivation aptitude, they wouldn't be accepted.
It wasn't like this hadn't happened before in history.
Some people had good aptitude, but they were too timid. They were pushed all the way to a high realm by the huge resources of the sect.
In the end, when this person faced a fiendish demon with his Golden Core Realm cultivation, he was still scared shitless.
Even among his fellow disciples, he didn't dare to spar with them.
This was equivalent to the sect nurturing a piece of trash for nothing.
People with such a temperament must be eliminated as soon as possible.
After two rounds, the third round was the official qualification screening.
The aptitude of all cultivators would be fully displayed through this round.
At this stage, the remaining newcomers were all particularly talented martial artists, or lone cultivators who had cultivated to the Qi Refinement or Foundation Building realms on their own.
There weren't any normal people left in this round.
Normal people were all eliminated in the first two rounds, so they had to start from the outer sect one step at a time, solidifying their cultivation foundation, sharpening their temperament and understanding the general knowledge of the cultivation world — — – this was a necessary process.
A bronze plate of the same height was carried by two cultivators onto the square platform.
Ning Yuechan lightly leapt onto the platform, standing next to the bronze plate.
Just by standing there, she looked like a heavenly fairy descending from the heavens.
All the male cultivators' gazes were glued to her, unable to move away.
Ning Yuechan began to host the third round of the semester examination.
She announced: "Semester examination's third round, begin!"
"Newcomers who passed the second round, come up one by one and place your hand on the bronze plate"
"I'll add one more thing, disciples who joined earlier, if they want to come up, please also come up for the third round"
As soon as she finished, there was no commotion, no one protested.
The big shots of the sects exchanged glances, nodding in satisfaction.
In the past, at this time, there would always be a lot of noise.
A portion of the newcomers didn't want to touch the bronze plate, afraid of revealing their Elemental Veins or abilities.
But they didn't know that their petty tricks weren't even accepted by the official Dao sects, so they weren't even noticed by the official cultivators.
This time, it was Ning Yuechan's turn to host the third round. None of the hot-tempered, cold, or arrogant male newcomers stood up to make a fuss.
Perhaps they wanted to put on a good show in front of a beauty like Ning Yuechan?
Ning Yuechan is the Saintess of Heaven's Limit Sect, the next sect master of Heaven's Limit Sect.
Being able to gain her favor, or even just a little bit of attention, is something that makes anyone happy.
"I think she'll be the one to host the third round next year." An elder of the sect suggested.
"That's a good idea"
"Seconded"
"Agreed"
The big shots discussed among themselves.
The first newcomer came up, nervously put his hand on the bronze plate.
A red light shot out from the bronze plate, circled around the newcomer once, then returned to the plate.
"Very good, you have a Fire Elemental Vein, but it's not awakened yet. Work hard on your cultivation from now on, go down"
Ning Yuechan said.
Behind her, a group of enforcers appeared, each holding a jade tag in their hand, recording the results of the testee.
The newcomer happily bowed, silently glanced at Ning Yuechan for a bit longer before going down.
The second newcomer came up and put his hand on the bronze plate.
The bronze plate suddenly spun, turning into a bell that trapped the newcomer inside.
Ning Yuechan patted the bronze plate and put it away.
She told the newcomer who was still in shock: "You probably have a trapping type God's Chosen Skill, I hope you'll work hard on your cultivation and awaken it soon"
When the newcomer heard this, he was overjoyed. He bowed and walked down the stage, one foot high and one foot low.
The third newcomer came up, but the bronze plate didn't move at all.
The newcomer was a bit disappointed. Ning Yuechan smiled and encouraged him: "It's ok, even without the Elemental and God's Chosen, you can still enter the sect to cultivate, your future won't necessarily be bad"
Hearing that, the newcomer seemed to have regained his life.
He stared blankly at Ning Yuechan, then clasped his fist: "Thank you fairy for your teachings"
This scene became an eternal memory for him.
Throughout his life, this cultivator has gone through countless hardships and setbacks, but never once did he forget that on the day of the semester examination, a peerless beauty once encouraged him like that.
As time went on, the 3rd round of the semester examination was already half done.
Many cultivators who were recruited by the sect before the exam saw Ning Yuechan standing on the stage, a few of them couldn't help but jump up to touch the bronze plate.
One of the cultivators placed his hand on the bronze disc, causing the silhouettes of countless weapons to appear on the disc. Finally, the silhouette of a longsword was formed.
The sword cultivators below the stage all had expressions of interest — — – perhaps from now on, the Saintess won't reject sword cultivators anymore?
If that's the case, then that brat did a good deed.
But as Ning Yuechan looked at the sword image, she coldly scoffed: "Trained in the sword? You're a sword cultivator from now on, alright, get down! "
Not only was the man scared, he was pushed down by Ning Yuechan's spirit pressure with a wave of her hand.
In the crowd, quite a few newcomers with weapons retracted their heads.
The sword cultivators silently sighed, once again feeling despair.
Xiu Xiu was quite amused, stood on her tiptoes, trying to get a good look.
Gu Qing Shan rubbed Xiu Xiu's head, asking caringly: "Are you still nervous?"
Xiu Xiu looked up, happily answering: "Not at all, it's very interesting, but there are too many people blocking my view, I can't see the stage"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then picked up Xiu Xiu and put her on his shoulder.
"What about now?" he asked.
"Whoa, I can see it clearly, thank you senior brother!" Xiu Xiu was very happy.
All the cultivators around them rolled their eyes — — – are you two here to watch a show or to participate in the semester examination?
At this time, on the stage, another girl put her hand on the bronze plate. Then the bronze plate burst into flames, split open from the middle and fell to the ground.
The girl was so scared that she started to cry, saying: "It wasn't me, I didn't break it"
Ning Yuechan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, lightly patted the bronze plate and it returned to its original state.
"You have a Fire Elemental Root that hasn't awakened yet, as well as a Split-type God's Chosen Skill that hasn't been awakened yet, this kind of talent is quite rare, I hope you can work hard and awaken it soon" she calmly said.
It was now that the girl realized that she had both an Elemental Root and a God's Chosen Skill, so her tears turned into a smile.
As soon as the girl came down, a few elders of the sect stood up and surrounded her.
Another newcomer came up and put his hand on the bronze plate.
A cultivator's figure appeared from the plate, quickly performed a set of martial arts.
"You'll probably be able to use your fists and palm-type Martial Thaumaturgy in the future, you should focus on your martial arts" Ning Yuechan nodded.
The man happily went down.
"There are quite a few good seedlings here" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Xiu Xiu was still sitting on his shoulder, suddenly asked: "Senior brother, are we going up?"
"No" Gu Qing Shan answered.
"Ah, but I'm curious"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "What are you curious about?"
Xiu Xiu answered: "I'm curious about what will happen if I touch the plate"
"A dark gray shadow will fly out and circle around you."
Gu Qing Shan continued: "It doesn't necessarily have to be a dark grey shadow, it depends on how strong your Elemental Root is, the stronger it is, the more obvious the phenomenon will be"
He added: "Our sect also has something like this, if you're really curious, you can ask second brother to find one for you to play with when we get back"
Xiu Xiu was satisfied, then suddenly asked: "If Shifu touches the plate, what will happen?"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then answered: "The plate will probably change for 3 days and 3 nights without any repetition"
Xiu Xiu couldn't help but chuckle.
While they were talking, a man around 20 years old came up.
"Hm? Fellow Dao seeker, what's the matter? "
Gu Qing Shan evaluated him and asked.
The man knelt down in front of Gu Qing Shan, scaring the two of them.
He said: "This humble one has always been interested in Bai Hua sect, please accept me as your disciple, this humble one will be eternally grateful"
Gu Qing Shan and Xiu Xiu exchanged glances. Xiu Xiu hesitantly asked: "Senior brother?"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the man and said: "If you want to join Bai Hua sect, then go to Bai Hua Immortal country and take the Bai Hua list, if you can, the Saint will naturally judge whether or not you're qualified to join the sect"
The man answered: "This humble one isn't asking the Saint to accept me as a disciple"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: "Then why are you kneeling here?"
The man's eyes flashed with a sly glint as he loudly said: "Please accept me as your disciple"
Gu Qing Shan almost spat out some blood.
"Fellow Dao seeker, I'm not even as old as you are, this isn't appropriate" he said.
"Of course it's appropriate, of course it's appropriate, I know that you're talented and wise, you'll definitely dominate the world in the future, becoming a human Saint, please accept me as your disciple!" the man's attitude was resolute.
As the newcomers watched, they slowly realized what was going on.
