Chapter 53 - 53 The flying sword sect

ʼʼElder, what about the first place then?ʼʼ

In the ʼfloating cloud sectʼ where even the lodging wasnʼt free for those disciples, and they had to work hard in the sect mines every month just for 50 sect points, an opportunity to earn 1000 sect points at once was worth risking their lives over.

However, the prospect of a spatial ring was even more enticing than that.

Of course, these people knew how small their chances were to get into the top 3 of the sect examination.

In reality, only those disciples that were at the peak of rank 3 in earth grade had a chance to enter the top 3.

The disciple who had spoken just now was short with red hair. His name was Guan Hong and he was a peak rank 3 earth grade disciple.

ʼʼOhh?!ʼʼ

Lu Cheng stopped walking as he exclaimed in a surprised manner. He turned around to look at Guan Hong and after noticing that he was at the peak of rank 3 in earth grade, he nodded his head as he said

ʼʼThe first place will additionally get 100 spirit stones from the sect but thatʼs not all.

The person who gathers the most survival points out of every other disciple between the 4 sects, will also get a ʼBlood Vermilion Fruitʼ.ʼʼ

Although most disciples were perplexed, Shun Longʼs eyes shone brightly when he heard of the ʼBlood Vermilion Fruitʼ.

ʼʼIf I can get my hands on it, my strength will definitely advance by leaps and boundsʼʼ he thought.

Lu Cheng saw that most disciples hadnʼt even heard of the ʼBlood Vermilion Fruitʼ and he snorted as he explained

ʼʼThe ʼBlood Vermilion Fruitʼ can be directly consumed and allow a disciple at the peak of rank 3 in the earth grade to directly advance to the early rank 4.

To Shun Long though the ʼBlood Vermilion Fruitʼ was even more attractive than that as he could refine it into a pill. After consuming it his strength would directly soar.

Everyone in the group was excited as they walked toward the Demonic Mountain Region. The weaker disciples all hoped to enter the top100 while the stronger disciples like Guan Hong who were at the peak of rank 3 in earth grade were all dreaming of taking first place.

Their group traveled for 7 days until they arrived at the Demonic Mountain Region.

Shun Long was shocked when he saw how vast the region was.

There were mountains and trees as far as the eye could see.

The ʼfloating cloud sectʼ was the second group to arrive. In front of them was another huge group that wasnʼt any smaller than their own.

Their disciples were all dressed in white robes and they were all carrying swords on their backs.

A pair of Elders approached the ʼfloating cloud sectʼsʼ group and the oldest one of them spoke

ʼʼHaha Lan Hong, I didnʼt expect that you would be the one to lead your fledglings all the way from the ʼfloating cloud cityʼ.ʼʼ This person was the Grand Elder of the ʼFlying sword sectʼ, Hui Zhong.

ʼʼHui Zhong, it seems that your ʼFlying sword sectʼ also takes this sect examination quite seriously, otherwise, with how old you are you wouldnʼt have stepped a foot outside your sect.ʼʼ

ʼʼAre you any younger than me Lan Hong? Hahaha itʼs okay, I wonʼt hold any grudges against you this time. Let me introduce someone to you. This is my grandson Hui Ming.ʼʼ

As soon as Hui Zhong finished speaking, a young man with sharp-defined features and a hooked nose appeared from the ʼflying sword sectʼsʼ group. The man had a golden sword strapped on his back and anyone who looked at his pair of eyes would suddenly sense a feeling of danger coming from this person.

Lan Hongʼs eyes shone brightly as he saw the young man who now stood next to Hui Zhong and he exclaimed in a loud voice full of bewilderment

ʼʼHow is it possible?ʼʼ

Hui Zhong smiled brightly as he said

ʼʼDid you notice already? Itʼs precisely what you think! Mingʼerʼs talent for the sword is even higher than my own. He has already touched upon sword qi while he is only at the peak of rank 2 in the earth grade. I am not afraid to say that even though his cultivation is low, he has the highest chance among everyone here to obtain the first place in this survival examination.ʼʼ

Lan Hong couldnʼt refute Hui Zhongʼs words as his ʼfloating cloud sectʼ didnʼt have anyone at the same level as Hui Ming.

Usually, sword cultivators would only be able to touch upon sword qi when they reach the late stages of the earth grade.

ʼʼOld man Hui Zhong Iʼm afraid that your grandson wonʼt have that chance.ʼʼ

As a manly voice was heard from the distance, two big groups could be seen coming towards them.
