Chapter 93 Second Trial, More Cannon Fodder



Second Trial, More Cannon Fodder

"Xiao\'er, how long do you think this is going to take?" Xue Bai asked curiously.

Currently, he was on the edge of the town square, not because he wanted to be low profile, but because he got to the exam late. So rather than push through the massive crowd, Xue Bai decided to stay on the edge. It didn\'t matter how far he was from Elder Yang, as the pressure remained the same strength everywhere.

And at the edge, he was casually standing upright as if there were no pressure on his shoulders. However, since Xiao\'er was the type of person this test was aiming to weed out, he had to take the pressure on her, too, so he had an arm around the maid\'s shoulders to make sure she wouldn\'t fall.

Xiao\'er, free of any pressure, thought about Xue Bai\'s question seriously for a moment.

"That man over there in the inner disciple\'s robe said that there have been 3,000 dropouts so far, so it can\'t be much longer," Xiao\'er answered.

Nodding slightly at her answer, Xue Bai was about to move closer to the center, but a figure flashed in front of him just as he was about to take a step forward.

"Young Duke Xue, while we know you are talented enough to join the sect, bringing in an extra person seems too much, doesn\'t it?" It was Luo Ye.

Elder Yang had noticed how Xue Bai was carrying Xiao\'er through the exam and was slightly displeased, but while he was a drunk, he knew not to expel such a prodigy rashly. So he ordered Luo Ye to go and try to stop Xue Bai.

"Senior Brother, this is just my maid. I don\'t play on doing this to anyone else." Xue Bai responded.

"Young Duke Xue, that might be true, but it still doesn\'t make what you\'re doing right." Luo Ye sighed. He, too, didn\'t want to nag, but since it was Elder Yang\'s order, he had to.

"Then, when I become a Core Disciple tomorrow, am I allowed to bring her in as a servant?" Xue Bai asked as he tried to negotiate.

However, as arrogant as Xue Bai sounded, his words were very likely to come true. He had a High Black Martial Vein Rank and a cultivation that rivaled people a decade older than him.

If Xue Bai couldn\'t become a Core Disciple, then who could?

"This… I need to ask Elder Yang for permission." Luo Ye spoke hesitantly before flying off.

While Luo Ye thought Xue Bai\'s words were arrogant, he also believed that Xue Bai could fulfill them. So rather than deny the future Core Disciple coldly, he could go to an Elder and have them deny Xue Bai.

This way, while Xue Bai might be slightly angry at Luo Ye, most of the anger would be diverted to Elder Yang instead of him.

Xue Bai, with nowhere to be, as the test was still in progress, waited for Luo Ye patiently in the same spot.

Very soon, Luo Ye flew back with the decision from Elder Yang.

"Young Duke Xue, Elder Yang said that your maid can enter the sect as a servant that can follow you but on the condition that you have to become a Core Disciple." Luo Ye spoke.

At first, Elder Yang was adamant about tossing Xiao\'er out, but after some very patient persuasion from Luo Ye, he managed to calm the Elder down and make him make the correct decision.

"I\'ll follow your arrangements, Senior Brother." Xue Bai replied with cup fists before turning around and shouting, "Big Wang! Take Xiao\'er out of the town Square."

And before Luo Ye could react, Big Wang appeared next to them and escorted Xiao\'er away.

Since Xue Bai wasn\'t in the Qi Sea Realm and couldn\'t project his Spiritual Qi outside his body yet, he had to hold Xiao\'er to protect her from the pressure manually. But Big Wang didn\'t need to and merely placed a shield around the maid while escorting her out.

While Big Wang could also hold Xiao\'er to escort her out, he wasn\'t a fool and obviously didn\'t choose that option. Even though Xue Bai and Xiao\'er still hadn\'t done anything physical yet, how dare he touch her? She was Xue Bai\'s future woman!

Even if Big Wang didn\'t die afterward, he would lose the hand he touched Xiao\'er with at the minimum.

Seeing that Xiao\'er left without making a large fuss, Luo Ye sighed in relief. Adding on the fact that Xue Bai was extremely cordial, he felt like he was lucky.

Most second-generation nobles like Xue Bai would be arrogant to the heavens, and even having them follow the long-standing rules of the Soaring Sword Sect would cause a massive problem. But thankfully, Xue Bai wasn\'t like those good-for-nothings. Instead, he was a very humble and down-to-earth young man.

"Then Young Duke Xue, Senior Brother, wishes you luck for today\'s trials. I must be going back to my duties now." Luo Ye bid Xue Bai farewell before flying off to continue his job.

Following the small interlude, after about ten more minutes of peace and quiet, the trial soon ended.

After counting that there were only 5000 people left, Elder Yang withdrew his aura and left. Only the first trial needed him to be there. And while he was told to stay for all of the trials today, he didn\'t care and only wished to go back to his peak and drink.

Luo Ye obviously saw through this but could only shake his head. After all, he was only in the Dharma Idol Realm. How could he force a Peak Stage Domain Lord to stay if he didn\'t want to?

"Potential Junior Brothers and Sisters, please now come close. We are going to take an airship to the next trial site." Luo Ye loudly spoke as he took out an airship from his spatial ring.

Thankfully because of its immense size, it could hold all 5,000 participants. And after all of them boarded, Luo Ye explained the next trial.

Of course, this spatial ring wasn\'t Luo Ye\'s, but the sects, as a spatial ring big enough to carry an airship, had to be, at the minimum, a Black Grade Treasure.

The next trial involved a demonic beast hunt that was going to take place in a forest that the Soaring Sword Sect strictly guarded and monitored. There, thanks to the Soaring Sword Sect\'s purposeful rearing, the strongest demonic beast was only at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm.

This trial would test combat power and strength.

Thanks to an Array Formation that covered the entire forest, every demonic beast that someone killed would be tallied and marked as points. And after this trial, only the top 1000 would be able to join the Soaring Sword Sect.

The participants, hearing the rules, were worried about their chances as this year, the Soaring Sword Sect didn\'t seem to care about potential much but rather, current strength. Both the first and second trials catered to the stronger and older participants rather than the young and full of potential ones.

However, since no one dared to call out the Soaring Sword Sect, they all shut their mouths and could only prepare for a chaotic second exam.

On the other hand, Xue Bai was relatively calm about the current situation. Of the participants, only a few hundred were in the Organ Tempering Realm, giving Xue Bai an almost guaranteed chance of passing.

Anyone who was in the Qi Sea Realm and above, as long as they weren\'t old and at the end of their potential, were allowed into the sect with almost no trials needed. This meant that the strongest possible competitors Xue Bai had, were, at most, at the peak of the Organ Tempering Realm.

And Xue Bai\'s cultivation of the 2nd stage of the Bone Strengthening Realm, and his leapfrog ability of 4 stages, he was as strong as someone in the 6th stage. And that was more than enough to place him into the top 1000.

As long as he didn\'t immediately run into a Qi Sea Realm demonic beast, nothing really could stop Xue Bai from joining the sect, which caused him to feel calm.

However, as he was relaxing on a reclining chair he intelligently kept in his spatial ring, a group of people came to disturb him.

"Xue Bai, you seem awfully calm. Are you so arrogant that you think you beat everyone here with just your mere Bone Strengthening Realm cultivation?" A disdainful voice spoke.

Opening his eyes slightly, Xue Bai found the culprit and the entourage in front of him, all carrying smug looks toward him. And though Xue Bai didn\'t know who they were, seeing their extremely famous robe, he could tell which force they belonged to.

"Wang Clan, huh? I thought you all were still holed up mourning your Grand Elder and Third Elder. Why are you coming to join the Soaring Sword Sect?" Xue Bai sneered, giving the group no respect whatsoever.

Stunned at his undisguised arrogance, the group didn\'t know what to say for a second. Their group had five people, all of whom were in the Organ Tempering Realm. And one of them was even at the peak of the Realm.

So while they didn\'t think Xue Bai would fear them, as fighting was strictly forbidden on the airship, they thought he would be slightly apprehensive at least.

After all, the Wang Clan was much stronger than his own clan, and they were overwhelmingly stronger than him. But not only did Xue Bai not care, he even insulted them and their clan.

"You! Xue Bai, how dare you curse our Wang Clan!" The leader shouted accusingly.

The shout also managed to attract some attention from the rest of the ship as both parties were high-profile candidates to join the Soaring Sword Sect. One was the most talented person in their generation, and the other was a well-known Wang Clan genius.

But to everyone\'s disappointment, Xue Bai didn\'t respond to the man\'s poor attempt at goading and just closed his eyes and continued resting. Sensing that, the Wang Clan leader tried to goat Xue Bai more, but Xue Bai still stayed silent, ignoring the group.

\'I\'ll kill you all later! For now, you can speak as much as you like!\' Xue Bai thought mentally.
