nZhao Luo looked at everyone else.

nExcept for him and the Second Elder there were still 19 people there on the hall of the first floor where the test was taking place.

nThe 20 who passed the first test included Zhao Luo Feng Mei and Yan and the other 17 who may as well be from some powerful backgrounds like the Queen of the Feng’s.

n‘The first test was easy. I don’t know why would they make so much commotion at the start.’

nZhao Luo thought but if the ones who failed heard him they would have tried their best to give him a good beating.

nMore than 658 examinees failed to stand in their place for the 3 minutes of the test and yet this guy said that it was easy.

nThe reason why Zhao Luo felt it was easy was because of the upgraded apparitions he had Assimilated while training for Naoli.

nThat assimilation had already improved his body’s structure that is his bones and muscles to at least 50 times than how they were before. That is also one of the reasons why he was able to fight Bimba so easily plus the mysterious energy from the Heaven’s Tomb acting as his battery.

nWhile Zhao Luo was thinking about the test and how the Second Elder was grinning at him the Second Elder was planning the Second Test in his Mind.

nWill the second test take place here or will we move up to the second floor?

nThe red-haired guy who was standing somewhere in front of Zhao Luo asked the Second Elder.

nZhao Luo couldn’t see his face so he didn’t know how the red-haired guy looked.

nBut he also clicked with this guy’s question.

n‘Why is the old man taking so long? It has already been more than a minute since he said that we will be moving to the Second Test.’

nZhao Luo thought while trying not to curse the elder.

nPatience is a virtue. In chase of your goals don’t forget about the ones who are with you.

nThe Elder said with a deep voice.

nThis caused Zhao Luo to look at his companions.

n‘Feng Mei.’

nZhao Luo was worried about her as Yan don’t look half as bad as her.

nWe will move on to the second test soon. Mark this as a momentary break.

nAnnounced the Second Elder.

nThe two remaining examinees sat at the places they were standing on including Zhao Luo.

nZhao Luo let Feng Mei lean against his shoulders.

n‘She sure is an angel.’

nZhao Luo looked at the tired Feng Mei and thought in his mind.

nHe didn’t even know that he was smiling while looking at her.

nFor Feng Mei that smile was something that she would look forward to as Zhao Luo was already his elder brother but for the others who were with them it wasn’t fun to watch.

n‘What a weird guy.’

nYan thought while looking at Zhao Luo’s smile.

nHis gaze went on to the little Feng Mei and jealousy could be seen lingering in his eyes.

nThen Yan looked at himself and started imagining things.

n‘What if I was leaning against his shoulder?’

nYan thought as his gaze shifted towards Zhao Luo’s broad shoulders.

nZhao Luo noticed that Yan was looking at him and glanced at him. He still couldn’t get used to Yan’s girly cute face and his manly voice.

nIs something wrong?

nZhao Luo asked Yan as he had been staring at his shoulders without saying anything.

nN-No I just spaced out.

nYan answered while blushing lightly.

n‘Hmmm.’

nZhao Luo wondered if there wasn’t anything going on.

nAfter that little interaction between the three they closed their eyes and meditated for a while.

nHalf an hour later.

nThe second test will start soon. This will also be the final test.

nThe Second Elder said with a mighty voice waking them up from their meditation.

nThus he announced the second test to be the last as well.

nEven if you fail this test you will still pass the exam.

nThe Second Elder told them shocking news.

nThen why are we even taking this test?

nThe man with the red hair asked the Second Elder.

nYou must be Su Shi from the Su Family. Su Family of the Four Martial Arts Families in the 3rd City.

nThe Second Elder looked at the man with the red hair.

nBut why are you dressing like a man?

nThe Second Elder said in a chilly tune as he waved his hand.

nSu Shi had her hair styled with a band that broke and her hair fell like the sunlight.

nLong shiny red locks of hair covered her face and her back as they went down.

nOnly a man can succeed the Su family. So I have decided to forsake my identity.

nSu Shi said without a hint of regret in her voice.

nZhao Luo looked at her but he still couldn’t see her face yet her sound now was very enchanting as it fell on his ears.

n‘Everyone’s got their reasons.’

nZhao Luo looked at Su Shi who had decided to give up her identity for the sake of succeeding her family then he looked at Feng Mei who had lost her parents at a young age as a result of jealousy.

nThen he looked at the Second Elder who had just heard the answer of Su Shi and was going to say something.

nWhy don’t you succeed the Su Family by proudly embracing your identity? Become the strongest so no one can go against you for being a girl.

nSecond Elder said with a mild smile causing Su Shi’s heart to beat fastly. As if all her questions have been answered instantly.

n‘This old man is very impressive.’

nZhao Luo thought as the Second Elder’s answer was indeed the best assurance that the girl could get.

nShe just had to focus on herself and be true to herself and once she is powerful so powerful that no one can deny her that will be her moment to shine.

nThe second test is a chance that I have bestowed upon you all.

nThe Second elder waved his hand while answering Su Shi’s previous question.

nA table appeared in front of everyone except Zhao Luo. Everyone was already sitting so things were even more easier for the Second Elder.

n‘Woosh.’

nA paper and a pen appeared in front of everyone. Yet Zhao Luo was just looking around. He felt like he was being singled out by the Second elder as he noticed that even Feng Mei and Yan got a paper and a pen on their tables.

nWhy not me?

nZhao Luo questioned in a light voice. Nobody could hear what he was saying not even Feng Mei had realized Zhao Luo’s confusion.

nYet the old man knew what Zhao Luo had asked.

nWhen the test starts a riddle will appear on all of your papers. Obviously everyone will get a different riddle. If you answer it you will get a chance to answer another riddle.

nSecond Elder told them.

nElder What will we get for solving the riddle?

nFeng Mei asked respectfully in her cute voice.

nFor every riddle you solve you will get ‘Sect Points’ according to the difficulty of the riddle.

nSecond Elder answered Feng Mei showing the importance of the second test.

nWell the test ‘Solving the Riddles’ will begin now. Remember everyone will get a different riddle. The test time will be 5 minutes so don’t waste your time looking for help.

nSecond Elder announced the start of the test while emphasizing the test name and warned them as asking others won’t be a help.

nIt was either that you spend 5 minutes solving a single riddle or you may be lucky enough to solve more than one.

nAs the Elder announced the start of the test a riddle starting appearing on everyone’s paper.

nUmm if I may Elder I think you forgot about me.

nZhao Luo interrupted with a weird look.

n‘How could the elder forget about me?’

nZhao Luo wondered as there were 19 sets of tables paper and pens as each set had appeared in front of everyone except him.

nDon’t worry. I didn’t forget about you.

nThe Second Elder said with a grin.

nReally?

nZhao Luo asked the Second Elder thinking that the elder was messing with him.

nHohoho.

nSecond Elder gave out a weird laugh as he disappeared from the place he was standing on and appeared in front of Zhao Luo with incredible speed.

nIn reality he hadn’t disappeared it was just the speed of his movements that were so fast that it looked as if he had disappeared.

nHe placed his hands on Zhao Luo’s shoulder.

nAfter that Zhao Luo could only see the fading image of the hall on the first floor with the other 19 examinees as the Second Elder brought him to a different place.

nEverything had happened in less than 5 seconds.

nZhao Luo had no idea how the old man did this but it was an incredible thing for Zhao Luo.

n‘If only I can do this too.’

nZhao Luo thought wondering if he will ever be able to do what the Second Elder had just done.

nThis is the top floor of the Sect’s building. Also this floor is where only the ranked elders are allowed to enter.

nThe Second Elder told Zhao Luo about the place they were at.

n‘So we are still in the building.’

nZhao Luo was assured.

nThe reason I brought you here is that you are different than the others. Many people were watching you so letting you take the second test here will be better.

nSecond Elder told Zhao Luo increasing his self-confidence even more.

nZhao Luo still didn’t know that some of the disciples of the Xin Sect were spectating their performance.

n‘Even he knows that I am Special.’

nZhao Luo smirked while going over the Second Elder’s remark.

n
