There were many people gathered at the square and among them, two people were the most eye-catching. It is because these two people were core disciples of the Nine Star Mountain Sect.
One was a beautiful young lady dressed in a long green robe. A peacock-shaped hairpin was beautifully supporting her hair to overlap. Her charm was so high that almost all the disciples were stealing a glance at her from time to time. This beautiful lady was Serah Hayat.
Some people were here because Serah had come here. Apart from these people, some were extremely curious about who exactly was the person that was lucky enough to enter the core this time.
One must know, becoming a core disciple was their dream.
The other person was a handsome young man dressed in white. He had a sword on his back and had an extraordinary temperament. His name was Elmer Morkheen.
Serah came here and so did Elmer. And other than these two core disciples, there was another person who received quite a bit of attention.
It was a young man in black, with starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows. He stood there with an abnormally indifferent expression, yet cool and handsome. Even if a man saw him, they could not help but look at him again and again definitely.
This young man was Henry, the successor disciple of the Fourth Mountain Peak, the only disciple of Peak Master.
There were many female disciples of the inner sect that looked at Henry, their eyes releasing a splendor.
When Alex and the others came out, Sabine was very surprised to see Elmer.
"Who is he?"
Alex followed Sabine's gaze and asked. He didn't know why, but he felt troubled when he saw Elmer. He felt extremely uncomfortable/
"He is Elmer Morkheen. He is the No. 1 among the core disciples. He is also the direct disciple of the Great Elder." Sabine looked at Elmer with a complicated expression and explained softly.
Alex's nodded his head in understanding. But he didn't notice the complicated expression on Sabine's face.
He shifted his attention from Elmer to Serah Hayat and asked about her. And he was surprised to know that this beautiful lady was actually the daughter of Fourth Peak Master.
From Sabine's tone, Alex guessed that Sabine was very familiar with Serah.
When Sabine came out, Serah naturally saw her. Her indifferent expression was finally replaced by a hint of a smile.
? Elmer stood by Serah and there was no one but Serah in his eyes. As he saw Serah smile, he turned his head and saw Sabine and Alex, and Arfan beside her. And a hint of a faint smile appeared on his cool face.
Here, Serah and Elmer received naturally much more attention than the elders. Both of them smiled and smiled in the same direction, Many people also looked toward them.
They saw Alex and Arfan, but intentionally or unintentionally ignored them. Arfan had a pair of small eyes, and his appearance was ordinary. As for Alex, although he was very handsome, handsome men were everywhere, so he wasn't something rare. Only Sabine, who was a little shy, was the only one that lit up everyone's eyes.
The disciples that participated in the examination appeared one after another.
"Good, very good."
Above the square, there was also a platform. The Great Elder stood at the center of the platform and looked at the hundreds of people below him with a satisfied smile on his face.
The other Elders stood by his sides, each of them with a chair behind them. If the Grand Elder didn't sit, they would stand as well.
"You have already passed the first round of examination. From now on, you are the inner sect disciples of Fourth Mountain Peak of Our Nine Star Mountain Sect and enjoy the treatment of inner sect disciples. If you want, you no longer have to participate in the second test."
The first test was to select the inner disciple and the second test was to select the top ten people. The champion will be rewarded with the position of core disciple. As for the other nine, they will only receive their rewards and go back to being an inner disciple.
As the Great Elder finished his words, the crowd burst into cheers.
The treatment for inner sect disciples was much better than that for outer sect disciples. Just getting one Celestial Spirit Pill every year was enough to make outer sect disciples envious. Other than that, one could also earn contribution points to exchange for Celestial Spirit Pills as well.
These were all the privileges of the inner sect disciples.
After the cheers, it was time for the highlight of the examination - the second test. The top ten of the competition would be rewarded generously. In addition, there would be one chosen to enter the core among the top.
Everyone who had the right to participate was all eager for the competition, their desire to fight to soar.
"Next, it is time for the second stage of the competition. It is also the time to witness your strength in a battle. We old fellows will assess your potential maintaining equity and justice. And choose the one with the most potential among you all?"
The Great Elder was speaking from above, and below him was a group of fanatical inner sect disciples.
In the distance, a group of elders was counting the names on the list, preparing for the arrangement of the competition.
The elders worked in a group for half an hour while the Great Elder's exciting speech was so passionate that all the disciples below were burning like fire.
"Alright, now the second stage of the competition will begin. If you are called, step out." After these words, the whole speech was finished finally. He sat down, and following that, other elders sat down one after another.
"Hassan Tofi!" Someone beside him shouted out a name.
"Here!" Hassan was surprised, then shouted loudly. He did not expect that the first name of the first battle would be his.
"Marcus Tera."
"Here!"
Another disciple in green walked out.
"Hassan versus Marcus."
"James versus John."
"Mobish versus Emma."
"Arfan versus Robert."
"Thomas versus Sabine."
"Alex versus Patric."
As the names were called out one by one, the fights started continuously. The first round of the competition was relatively unexciting. Many outer sect disciples watched with relish, but the inner sect disciples just lost their interest.
Their attention was only focused on a few people on the battle platform.
That was Mobish, the first to arrive here, and the second was James.
"Mobish, that brat is your younger brother, right? Not bad, he is already a Perfection-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warrior, he has a great chance of winning the first place." A white-clothed disciple said to Elmer.
"Of course." Elmer was obviously very confident.
In this batch of disciples, only a few were outstanding, of which Mobish's performance was the best. If no accidents happened, Mobish would definitely be number one, and becoming the core disciple was not a problem.
At this time, some other inner sect disciples realized the possibility. They came over and tried to praise Mobish in front of Elmer.
At this time, Alex had already reached the battle platform. In front of him stood Patric, a rough young man.
"You better surrender early. I don't want to beat you to death in one punch." Seeing Alex coming up, Patric said loudly.
"Just cut the crap. Come on." Alex said indifferently.
"Haha, then just wait to be punched out." Patric laughed, and with a tap of his feet, he appeared right in front of Alex. At the same time, he waved a pair of iron-like fists, trying to smash toward Alex's face.
Alex tapped the ground and quickly retreated.
There were a lot of battles on the square, but only a few of them were eye-catching, and Alex's was one of them. Besides Mobish and the rest who were looking over, Serah and Elmer both looked over from afar.
More importantly, Henry was also looking at Alex.
"He is not that powerful; his strength is average. Why was he with Sabine before? Could it be that something is going on between him and Sabine?" Elmer looked at Alex who was dodging and muttered in his heart. At the same time, a cold light flashed in his eyes that went unnoticed by everyone but Henry.
Henry glanced at Elmer before ignoring him. He focused on Alex and thought in his heart: "He is clearly an Extreme-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warrior, why is he struggling to fight Patric? Could it be that he wants to keep a low profile?"
"Umm... That must be the case!" Henry again muttered in his heart: "Anyway, if not for my Spirit Eyes, I would not have noticed his true cultivation base. There is something very strange about him."
"Anyway, does he really think he could keep a low profile? I want to test you, and you have to show your true strength here!"
As Henry thought in his heart, he looked at an elder beside him, who in response nodded his head and silently walked away.
