Pang Dahai said that someone would soon come to distribute some things to Lu Ye and the others so that they could make a choice. As a cultivator of the Vitality Sect, he undoubtedly knew what was going to happen next.
As expected, not long after he left, everyone who had passed the test and possessed a jade token was gathered in one place.
There were thousands of slaves who had been rescued, but there were only a little more than a hundred who were still standing here. The ratio was as low as ten percent.
Everyone stood there quietly. A cultivator walked over and distributed a piece of paper to each of them. Lu Ye took it and looked down. He saw the names of ten sects written from top to bottom on the paper.
Among them, the Vitality Sect was at the top, followed by the Green Jade Sect. There were some other sects that Lu Ye had never heard of before, but he saw Burning Moon Mountain and Hundred Flowers Valley that Pang Dahai had mentioned before.
These were probably the sects that had come to attack Evil Moon Valley this time.
The sect's rank was indicated at the back of each sect's name.
Among them, the Vitality Sect and Green Jade Sect were undoubtedly first-rank sects. The rest of the sects had a wide range of ranks, ranging from fourth to seventh-rank sects.
There was a line of words at the back of the sect's rank, indicating the sects that the sect covered. It was all the information that Pang Dahai had mentioned before.
Lu Ye was now somewhat grateful to Pang Dahai. Otherwise, he probably would not have been able to understand the contents of the paper.
Just as he was reading carefully, a cultivator in front of the crowd said, "Which sect do you want to join? Come forward and take a pen and draw a circle around the sect's name. You can choose up to three sects. However, which sect you end up joining will depend on your luck and the decision of each sect's steward. If you're lucky, you might be able to join two first-rank sects."
After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence. Soon, someone asked, "Senior, do you mean that the sects are also choosing us when we're choosing a sect?"
"That's right!" The cultivator replied faintly. "So don't think that you can reach the top in a single step. If you're not talented enough, it's useless even if you choose a first-rank sect."
Someone else asked, "What if the three sects I choose don't choose me?"
"Then you'll have no fate with cultivation. You'll be placed together with those who don't have the talent to cultivate!"
As soon as these words came out, many people who were hoping for a fluke were secretly alarmed.
Just now, many people had the thought of choosing both first-grade sects. However, if they really did so, there would definitely not be any good results. This was because regardless of whether it was the Vitality Sect or the Green Jade Sect, the requirements for accepting disciples would not be too low. Once they were eliminated by these two sects, they would only have one last chance left. If they did not grasp this last chance, they would miss this opportunity.
For Lu Ye and the others, being able to join a sect and cultivate was undoubtedly the best way out. No one was willing to miss this opportunity.
This time, everyone's expression became serious.
Lu Ye, on the other hand, had a strange expression on her face as she listened to the cultivator's words.
Why was it like filling in a college application?
During the innate talent assessment, the Third Senior Brother of the Green Jade School had read out the introduction to the students. After the assessment, the jade tokens that were obtained could be considered the results of the examination. Each and every sect was like a university, and the factions were like specializations. Now, everyone had come to fill in their application forms.
There were also the first, second, and third choices …
Then, he looked at the various sects on the paper. The first two sects were undoubtedly top-notch academies. Were the grade-four and five ordinary sects? Were the grade-six and grade-seven second-grade and third-grade sects?
When Lu Ye's gaze shifted to the bottom, he was shocked.
Why was there an unranked university here?!
The Jade Blood Sect, which was ranked last, was a grade-nine sect. He did not notice it earlier.
The situation was clear now. Among the more than 100 people who passed the assessment, they would have to choose three sects from these sects. Although it was not difficult, there was a hidden competition.
If too many people were chosen from the same sect, a batch would definitely be eliminated.
Lu Ye held his jade token and sighed inwardly. With his One-leaf innate talent, he was not competitive at all in this kind of matter.
However, he had to give it a try.
When he thought about his subordinate, the Fire Auxiliary Metal, Lu Ye gradually made up his mind.
The cultivator who spoke placed a table in front of him. There were a few brushes and an inkstone on the table.
One after another, people stepped forward. They picked up their brushes and drew on their papers. Then, they handed their papers to the cultivator along with their jade tokens.
Soon enough, only half of the more than 100 people were left.
Yu Xiaodie walked over. "Big Brother Lu, have you decided?"
"Hmm … I have."
Yu Xiaodie said, "Shall we go together?"
"You go first. I'll think about it." Lu Ye had already made up his mind. However, when he thought about his One-leaf innate talent, he was still uncertain.
There were more than 100 people in the ten sects. On average, each sect could accept more than 10 people. However, this was only the most ideal allocation. Lu Ye was certain that the Vitality Sect and Green Jade Sect would only accept two or three people at most. They would not accept more.
In this way, the other sects would have to accept more people.
Lu Ye did not expect to join the two great grade-one sects. However, if the competition was too great, he would still be eliminated even if he chose a grade-six or grade-seven sect.
He had been in the Nine Provinces for more than a year and worked as a mining slave in Evil Moon Valley for a year. Although he had successfully enlightened his Apertures, he could not even find a second spiritual orifice. How could he cultivate?
However, things would be different if he could join a sect. At that time, he could ask the elites in the sect to guide him. Hence, he did not want to miss this opportunity no matter what, even if his starting point was lower.
With this thought in mind, he walked up to the table and took a pen. First, he drew a circle on the Jade Blood Sect. The Jade Blood Sect was the sect with the lowest rank. Lu Ye reckoned that no one else would choose it other than himself. Hence, this was his insurance to ensure that he would be able to join a sect.
After choosing the Jade Blood Sect, he lifted the pen and pointed at Burning Moon Mountain.
As he tapped the pen, he suddenly thought of the last words Pang Dahai said to him.
He told him to lower his expectations to the lowest and not be half-hearted. Only then would he be able to get what he wanted.
At that time, Lu Ye did not understand. He only thought that it was a piece of advice. However, it seemed like there was more to it.
Moreover, Pang Dahai did not think highly of him. When Lu Ye asked him which sect to choose, he said that he would not be able to choose any of them.
He was a cultivator of the Vitality Sect. Although he was a little greedy, there was no need for him to make fun of him for no reason. In other words, even if he chose another sect, there was a high probability that he would not be able to join it.
Lu Ye closed his eyes. Every choice at the crossroads in life was extremely important, especially the one in front of him.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the cultivator in front of him. He said, "Senior Brother, may I ask what will happen if I only choose this one sect?"
The cultivator was looking at him with interest. This was because no one had chosen the Jade Blood Sect before Lu Ye. It was foreseeable that no one would choose the Jade Blood Sect after him. The Jade Blood Sect's rank was too low.
However, the cultivator did not expect that Lu Ye would not only choose the Jade Blood Sect, but also ask him such a question.
The cultivator wiped the mustache on the corner of his mouth and grinned. "You will know when you choose."
