Cultivation Online

Sometime after Yuan and Li Jinxi left the disciple examination, they went to meet back up with Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang.

”Sorry for the trouble, Yuan.” Li Jinxi apologized to him as they journeyed.

”Don’t even mention it. It’s only natural that I help my friends out when they’re in trouble,” he said.

Li Jinxi nodded, and she continued, ”By the way, I already knew this, but you’re really strong in Cultivation Online. I want to spar with you later when we get the chance.”

”Sure.” He nodded.

”Brother Yuan.” Xiao Hua suddenly approached him.

”What’s the matter?”

”Brother Yuan, you seem a little different than usual today. Are you feeling unwell?” She asked him in a worried voice, as she was unaware of Yuan’s situation with the Divine Paragon.

”Yes, I am feeling perfectly fine.”

Sometime later.

”Yuan! Jinxi! Are you two okay? What happened? The broadcast suddenly stopped, so we couldn’t see what transpired after you cut off that man’s hand.” Chu Liuxiang immediately asked.

”Nothing much. I had a fight with them and managed to convince them to forgive and forget about everything that happened today.” Yuan said with a smile.

”Really? Even though you severed that man’s arm?”

”It took some effort, but yes, they won’t cause us anymore trouble.”

”That’s good to hear.”

”What are we going to do now?” Meixiu then asked.

”The examination is still ongoing, so we’ll continue watching until everyone we know has passed.”

”Do you think it’s a good idea to let them join the sect after everything that has happened?” Chu Liuxiang suddenly asked.

”It should be fine. After all, they don’t know about our associations with each other. And even if they did, I doubt they would bother the others just because of our association.”

”If you say so…”

Thus, Yuan and the others continued to spectate the examination.

Even though the disciple examination was scheduled to last for a couple of days, it did not mean the participants had to wait until the very end to finish their examination.

After getting enough points to pass from the third examination, the participants may immediately head to the final part of the examination and be interviewed by the Seven Spirit Academies.

Of course, the interviewers were only of elder status.

Therefore, after a couple more hours, Wang Ming and the others passed their examination with top results.

Wang Ming had managed to receive offers from all seven academies to become their disciple, which isn’t surprising with his results that ranked top 10. In the end, Wang Ming chose the Formless Sword Academy that specializes in sword art.

Wang Bingbing also received offers from all seven academies, but she joined the Heavenly Academy.

Shi Lang received offers from all seven academies, and he joined the Lonely River Academy, as they had enough spear experts to peak his interest.

Hong Xiuquan decided to join the Steel Lion Academy that specializes in tempering their physique and close combat, which is perfect for a gauntlet user.

Wu Zao had surprisingly decided to join the Golden Array Academy despite being a fan wielder and having never heard of arrays until today, but he was interested in their concept and wanted to see if he could become an Array Master.

Xi Murong, who was an expert with daggers, decided to join the Heavenly Academy with Shi Lang.

Last but not least, Min Li, who also ranked top 10 with everybody else, managed to receive an offer from the Heavenly Academy, which she gladly accepted.

The Demon Sealing Faction and Min Li had managed to occupy 7 of the top 10 spots in the disciple examination. Of course, if Li Jinxi’s results were counted, that would make it 8 out of 10 spots, and she would also take rank one without any contenders.

The Seven Spirit Academies were, without doubt, extremely elevated to have so many top-scoring geniuses join their sects at once.

”Thank you, Senior, for allowing me to join the Heavenly Academy! And thank you, Seniors, for offering me a spot in your sects! I am really grateful to you all!” Min Li bowed to interviewers after joining the Heavenly Academy.

”Our Heavenly Academy is honored to have a genius such as yourself amongst our ranks. Please arrive at the Heavenly Academy within 30 days to start your training. That’s all.”

”Yes!”

Min Li left the place shortly after and began making her way back to the hotel.

”Now that everyone has finished their examination, let’s go meet them at the hotel like we’d planned.” Yuan said to the ones with him.

”Okay.”

A few hours later, everyone arrived at the hotel.

”Congratulations, everyone, on passing the examination. I had faith that you would all pass.” Yuan said.

”Honestly, the examination was much easier than I’d anticipated.” Wang Ming said.

”Right? I worried for nothing.” Shi Lang laughed.

”By the way, did you hear? Something big happened during the examination. Apparently, someone picked a fight with the Sect Masters of the Seven Spirit Academies. I heard it on the way back here.” Wang Bingbing suddenly said.

”Oh! I heard about that too! Which idiot would do such a thing?” Wang Ming said.

”About that…” Yuan chuckled.

”Eh?” Everybody there turned to look at him with raised eyebrows.

”You see…” Yuan proceeded to explain his experience with everyone, leaving them speechless.

”Unbelievable! How dare they try to kill Li Jinxi over something so stupid! Do you think it’s too late to leave the sect?!” Wang Ming expressed his anger afterward.

”Why would you do that? Although they may have overreacted, Li Jinxi isn’t completely innocent either. Just forget about it and go to the sect. They may not be perfect, but you’ll be able to obtain a lot of experience there.” Yuan shook his head.

”By the way, as a result of this experience, Li Jinxi will be following me to the next realm.”

”Honestly, I’m not surprised. Unlike the rest of us, she has the strength and talent to follow you. Good luck up there, all of you.” Shi Lang said.
