Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2029: Chapter 2029: Only One Chosen?

Ye Haochuan entered the sect and saw a man with graying temples sitting calmly behind a copper-colored wooden table, watching him intently.

”Though you haven’t stepped beyond the mundane, judging by your aura, you shouldn’t be underestimated!” After observing Ye Haochuan for a while, the man spoke.

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but feel a stir in his heart. Most people would look down on him after seeing his cultivation, as did the young man outside the gate.

Unexpectedly, this man merely glanced at him and realized he was different from other Nascent Soul Peak cultivators. Such insight was truly remarkable.

”Place your hands on it and slowly circulate your cultivation technique!” The man pointed to a pale-yellow jade stone on the wooden table and instructed Ye Haochuan.

This pale-yellow jade stone, with an unknown composition, had a formation carved onto it. This formation was recorded in the Hundred Arrays Collection, used for testing a cultivator’s aptitude.

Understanding the details, Ye Haochuan was reassured. He placed his hands on it and slowly began to circulate the newly learned Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers.

Soon, the jade stone emitted a gentle glow.

”Indeed, you have a Hidden Divine Physique, haha!” The man laughed heartily, saying, ”Not bad, not bad! Apart from the Ju Family’s little genius, your physique is the best!”

What? There’s someone with a better physique than mine?

Ye Haochuan was taken aback.

Ever since discovering he had a Hidden Divine Physique, he hadn’t heard of anyone with a better physique. Unexpectedly, today, he found someone who surpassed him in this aspect.

The man seemed to notice Ye Haochuan’s thoughts and smiled, ”In this vast world, people with special physiques are plentiful. However, your Hidden Divine Physique is among the best. Just that your cultivation time is evidently short, and your foundation isn’t as solid, so you don’t shine as brightly as that Ju Family kid.”

Ye Haochuan was surprised, not expecting that with just one test, this man could know everything about him, even the short duration of his cultivation.

Ye Haochuan had only been cultivating for two years. As for his foundation, the spiritual energy on Earth couldn’t compare to the Immortal Realm. On Earth, his foundation seemed solid, but in the Immortal Realm, it didn’t appear to be the case.

”Name?” the man asked again.

Ye Haochuan noticed that the man had already written down his cultivation level, age, and physique information, along with some evaluations of his current cultivation.

Evidently, this registration ceremony also served as the first screening. Asking for Ye Haochuan’s name indicated he had passed the initial selection.

Ye Haochuan stated his name, after which the man handed him a blue token and pointed to a small door, saying, ”Proceed straight for a hundred meters, there is a small building. You can go there with this token to get a lodging place. Rest there, and tomorrow someone will guide you to participate in the subsequent battles!”

Ye Haochuan took the token and followed the man’s instructions to find the small building. In front of the building was a stone platform, where a woman in her thirties sat, carefully sketching the scenery of the courtyard with an extremely fine sandalwood brush.

The woman was not very tall, petite and delicate, not extraordinarily beautiful, but quite pleasant to look at.

Seeing Ye Haochuan approaching, she motioned for him to stand still, then spread a new sheet of rice paper, and quickly sketched his likeness with her brush in about two minutes.

Ye Haochuan was full of admiration for the drawing, which resembled him by about eighty percent. The remaining twenty percent difference was because she hadn’t used colors, only black and white.

After completing the sketch, the woman told Ye Haochuan to stay in the second room on the third floor. She then wrote his name on the drawing and placed it aside, continuing to finetune the courtyard sketch.

Ye Haochuan glanced stealthily at the woman, feeling something in his heart.

From outside the mountain gate to this place, he had met three people in total. All three were exceptionally formidable, with the young man outside being the weakest.

The man responsible for the aptitude test had an impressive cultivation, and with his sharp eyes, could recognize talent in the world, which was quite formidable.

And this woman seemed indifferent to worldly affairs, focused solely on painting, hiding her formidable cultivation in elegance, but in her every move, there was a composure only experts had.

Other than these three, he didn’t see even a single servant or attendant in this courtyard, which surprised Ye Haochuan greatly.

Just by looking at the youth outside the main gate, Ye Haochuan had felt that the Half-Mountain Residence was extraordinary, and after meeting the other two, his suspicions were further confirmed.

Holding onto such thoughts, Ye Haochuan walked into the room the woman indicated.

The room wasn’t very large, with only two beds, but it was quite tidy and comfortable.

Inside the room, there was already a young man in gray, sitting cross-legged on one of the beds, cultivating.

This young man looked to be around twenty, with a hint of youthfulness on his face. However, his cultivation had already reached the Immortal Transformation Early Stage. Achieving such a level at this age was remarkable.

”Oh, I’ve been waiting for quite a while, finally someone else is here!” The young man greeted Ye Haochuan happily as he entered.

”Waiting for quite a while?” Ye Haochuan asked, surprised.

”Yeah!” The young man smiled, ”I’ve been curious about who would be my roommate, so I’ve been waiting. But the selection here is so strict, no one came for quite some time. Just as registration was about to end, I thought I wouldn’t have a roommate after all!”

Ye Haochuan understood that many people came to participate in this Disciple Selection Meeting, but very few passed the first round, as most were politely sent back.

”Isn’t it a good thing if there aren’t many people? That way the chances of being selected are higher, shouldn’t you be hoping for fewer people to compete with you, rather than having another roommate?” Ye Haochuan asked with a smile.

”Wrong, wrong, wrong!” The young man shook his head, ”First of all, the number of people here isn’t small. Including you, there should be forty-eight.”

”Forty-eight isn’t much!” Ye Haochuan remarked indifferently.

Back at the Greenstone Society, there were tens of thousands participating, that was a crowd. Compared to that, forty-eight wasn’t much at all.

”Do you think forty-eight is not a lot for one to be chosen from?” The young man said with some disdain, ”Moreover, all forty-eight are top-tier elites!”

”Only one to be chosen? No way!” Ye Haochuan was even more surprised.

”You didn’t even know that?” The young man seemed to think Ye Haochuan was from another world, expressing disdain, ”The Half-Mountain Residence’s selection is extremely strict, choosing one every five years, only picking super geniuses, and rejecting all others!”

Damn, such a standard for disciple selection is unrivaled!

Ye Haochuan was deeply shaken.

To select only one outstanding individual from tens of thousands, the chosen one would undoubtedly be a super genius.

However, this also meant the scale would never be large.

Only now did Ye Haochuan understand why the Half-Mountain Residence felt so deserted after entering; it was because they kept themselves ”aloof”.
