Chapter 2029: Laughter and Ridicule
"Mr. Su, I apologize for my attitude just now."
The remaining guard said somewhat fearfully. As long as the other party said a word to Miss Gu, he would be done for.
Su Chen waved his hand, naturally not bothering to haggle over it with him.
The guard was slightly relieved, secretly sizing up Su Chen with a hint of curiosity!
So this was the young man who caused such a huge uproar in Qianye City a month ago!
After a while, a burst of footsteps came closer. Looking up, it was Gu Yunyan, with the guard who had gone in earlier following behind her.
She was wearing a light yellow long dress, giving her a refined and elegant air.
"I was worried you wouldn’t make it today!"
Gu Yunyan said with a smile.
"Since we agreed, of course I’d be on time."
Su Chen said:
"May I ask if Miss Gu is ready?"
"I’ve been ready for a long time."
Gu Yunyan said.
Not long after, the two each rode their own Flying Beast and set out.
The reason they each rode one was for convenience in future travels.
...
The Lingwu Sect wasn’t too far from Qianye City, sitting atop a stretch of continuous mountain ranges.
From a distance, mist and clouds wound around its peaks, like an immortal realm.
Two days later, they could already see the Lingwu Sect!
"It really is grand enough!"
Su Chen looked at the Sect shrouded in mist ahead and sighed.
Just its land area alone was as large as several dozen expanded Shenfeng Academies put together. One could imagine how spectacular it was!
"Naturally. All sorts of people within the Sect add up to well over a hundred thousand!"
Gu Yunyan said proudly.
Hearing this, Su Chen secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. It really lived up to being a Third Rank Sect!
"Miss Gu, tell me about this Lingwu Sect."
Su Chen said. He still didn’t know too much about the Lingwu Sect yet.
These past two days, he had focused most of his energy on comprehending the Cultivation Technique for Divine Sense Attack. After all, this was something he had been eagerly anticipating for a long time.
Although the two of them also chatted, it was mostly small talk and they didn’t say much about the Lingwu Sect.
"Disciples of the Lingwu Sect are mainly divided into the Outer Sect and Inner Sect. The Inner Sect is further divided into ordinary Inner Sect Disciples and True Disciples."
Gu Yunyan said:
"But Young Master Su, since you’re just arriving, according to the Sect rules, even if you pass the assessment, you can only be in the Outer Sect for now."
"However, there’s an opportunity for promotion every three months. With Young Master Su’s strength, I believe you can definitely soar straight up to become a True Disciple when the time comes!"
Su Chen merely gave a noncommittal response, not caring too much about this.
After that, Gu Yunyan introduced some other things to Su Chen, such as the internal promotion system and so on.
As they spoke, the two had already arrived.
"Where are we going now?"
Su Chen asked.
"The assessment grounds."
Gu Yunyan spoke as she walked forward. However, it wasn’t toward the main gate, but rather toward a valley on one side of the academy.
From a distance, Su Chen saw a huge, flat area. Vaguely, it seemed there were many people there.
"Why are there so many people?"
Su Chen asked curiously.
"In the Cangxuan Territory, most Sects accept assessments every day, so naturally there are many people."
Gu Yunyan explained:
"Also, quite a few Sect disciples come here to watch the fun when they’re bored, though most of them are Outer Sect Disciples."
Although Gu Yunyan put it tactfully, Su Chen understood as soon as he heard it.
Those Outer Sect Disciples were relatively low-level existences in the Sect. Coming here, they were probably also watching the jokes of those taking the assessment.
First, to kill time, and second, to find some sense of presence from these newcomers!
Human nature is like this everywhere!
At this moment, the Sound Transmission Talisman on Gu Yunyan suddenly vibrated.
After listening, Gu Yunyan said to Su Chen:
"I’m sorry, my master just sent me a transmission, telling me to go over immediately."
Her Flying Beast had already flown back. It was probably because of this that her master knew she had returned.
"It’s fine, go take care of your business."
Su Chen smiled and said:
"I can go by myself."
"Alright."
Gu Yunyan nodded, then turned and left. She was worried her master had something urgent, and in any case, it wasn’t far.
Su Chen continued walking forward as well. When he arrived there, the disciples were gathered in small groups, pointing at the disciples who were undergoing assessment.
Their faces were full of ridicule, not concealing it in the slightest.
Those currently being assessed were furious, but they didn’t dare say anything, or even show it on their faces, for fear of future retaliation.
"Hey, look at that kid!"
At this moment, a voice rang out:
"A Great Supreme Realm First Turn actually came too!"
"Sure enough. Isn’t he an idiot?"
"Looks like it to me. This is hilarious!"
"I’ve seen so many jokes today, but this one’s the funniest of them all to this daddy!"
Su Chen couldn’t be bothered to respond to these guys who scraped for a sense of presence off others. Seeing a sheet of paper posted on a stone wall to the side, he walked over for a look.
On it were the procedures and notes related to the assessment.
Simply put, the assessment was mainly divided into three parts, the first being the Gravity Field!
Here, there was a wide path about two hundred meters long, with several lines drawn across it, making it look like a running track.
If you wanted to take the assessment, you just had to go up. If you reached the end, you passed this trial!
A faint smile curled at the corner of Su Chen’s lips. He was quite familiar with Gravity Fields. He just didn’t know how strong this one’s gravity was.
Amidst the laughter of quite a few people, Su Chen stepped onto it.
Meanwhile, not far away, in a nearby room, two old men were sitting before a Crystal Stone screen.
Everything in the assessment grounds could be clearly seen.
The moment Su Chen stepped on, the two old men were a bit stunned as well!
Was this young man really here for the assessment?!
You had to know, there had never been a Great Supreme Realm First Turn coming for the assessment. Forget Great Supreme Realm, even for the Supreme Realm, they needed to be at least at the Late Stage of the Creation Realm!
This fellow really was a freak!
However, the two old men didn’t say anything, because the public notice for the assessment already stated it clearly: everything was voluntary, and you bore the consequences yourself!
In their view, this young man wouldn’t even pass the first trial, and might even suffer severe, irreversible damage to his body!
The Gravity Field was no joke!
The Gravity Field assessment didn’t only test a Martial Artist’s physical toughness, but even more so tested a Martial Artist’s endurance!
After all, on the path of Martial Arts, it was absolutely impossible without strong endurance!
Even a peerless genius wouldn’t have a very high upper limit without sufficient endurance!
...
Su Chen lightly felt it out. Compared to the outside, the gravity here was about twenty times greater.
"Not bad."
Su Chen said to himself, and at the same time activated the Calm Spirit Body Technique. A faint layer of light surfaced over his body.
