âI asked you to open your mouth,â the woman repeated.
To test if he had misheard, Guo Ran only opened his mouth a bit. He didnât understand what this was for.
âA bit bigger.â
âAhhhhâŠâ
âNot that big. I can see the inside of your stomach like this. I just need to check your teeth and throat.â
ââŠâ
After the examination of his mouth, Guo Ran continued forward. Even as he went onto the second examination, he didnât understand what the first examination was for.
But he quickly realized what it was when the female examiner asked the disciple after him, âHmm, an ancient race disciple? From which race?â
âThe Blood Scale race.â
This disciple was a woman wearing blood-red robes. A scarlet scale with the size of a fingernail could be seen on her forehead. Her face was beautiful, and her body was exceptionally moving.
Even people from the ancient races could join the Xuantian Dao Sect? Long Chen couldnât help being shocked. He was already completely hostile with the ancient races, and he didnât know how that would affect the future.
The woman registering her wasnât surprised. She registered her as such and moved on.
Long Chen saw over thirty people handling the registration. In other words, each person had to go through over thirty examinations, and each one involved different things.
The first one was the most simple. First it was the name, then the race, bone-age, Spirit Root, Spirit Blood, power, soul energy, etc. Each examination was strict with tools specially designed for it. There was no way to cheat. Other than these quantifiable variables, there were other things as well. For example, they would ask the new disciples about their personal strengths, ideologies, their requirements for partners, etc.
When asked about his personal strengths, Guo Ran replied that he was a Forging Master. That made the senior disciple a bit moved. But when asked about his ideology, that senior disciple directly coughed up blood. Guo Ranâs response was that his ideology was to be a poser.
But Guo Ranâs Spirit Root was dark gold grade, which made the senior disciple nod inside. However, when he then tested his physical strength, he became speechless. His constitution was incredibly weak and unsuited to battle.
However, he was only in charge of recording this information. How the Dao Sect handled it was their own matter. Nevertheless, none of them had seen a marvel like Guo Ran.
In truth, Guo Ranâs talent was something created by Long Chen piling a mountain of resources onto him. Guo Ran didnât walk the normal path, so these people naturally couldnât understand him.
Through this, Long Chen saw that they split Spirit Roots into five grades: bronze, silver, gold, dark gold, and violet gold.
Spirit Blood was graded according to its density and split into Huang, Xuan, Earth, and Heaven tiers. These four tiers were most commonly used in this world.
The majority of peopleâs Spirit Blood was at the lowest Huang tier. Even Guo Ran was the same. But the Huang tier was also split into three levels, and he had the high Huang tier Spirit Blood.
However, his Spirit Blood had no attribute, and to put it frankly, it had almost no use. So it made these senior disciples feel like it was a waste of talent.
Other than Spirit Blood and Spirit Root, there was another test for the elemental attribute. This was also split into four tiers like the Spirit Blood.
Previously, one of the Dragonblood warriors had been called up. He was an earth attribute expert, but his earth energy was only mid Huang tier.
But in the other regions, there were many disciples with high Huang tier elemental energy, and some even had mid Xuan tier ones as well. That made Long Chen see the difference.
The Dragonblood Legion was composed of experts he had spent his blood, sweat, and tears to build. Countless resources had been piled onto them for them to reach their current level.
But here, the Dragonblood warriors could only count as above average. As for the other disciples from the Eastern Wasteland, they were the bottom-padding cannon fodder. Long Chen could see their helplessness and dejection.
âViolet gold Spirit Root, high Earth tier Spirit Blood, and mid Earth tier water energy. Heavens, a rank five Celestial, Zhao Ziyan!â
Right now everyone was paying attention to the registration. Only through paying attention to the result was it possible to tell who the peak experts of the four regions were.
This woman from the Southern Sea immediately became the center of attention. Her Spirit Root, Spirit Blood, elemental energy, and Celestial rank were all top level amongst those who had been tested.
âWhat terrifying talent.â Tang Wan-er was shocked. This was her first time seeing a rank five Celestial. Looking at her beautiful appearance, she warned, âLong Chen, youâre not allowed to seduce her. Otherwise, Iâll never forgive you.â
Long Chen almost coughed up blood. He had an urge to cry. âSister, you must be overestimating me. Even if I wanted to seduce her, who knows if sheâd look favorably upon me?â
âHm, true. Sheâs a rank five Celestial with countless pursuers. As for you, you arenât even first rank.â Tang Wan-er nodded. It seemed just being handsome was useless in the Xuantian Dao Sect.
âAre you cursing me for having no class?â Long Chenâs expression darkened.
âHaha, no, no, youâre overthinking things,â laughed Tang Wan-er.
If they werenât in a public place, Long Chen would have definitely given her a fierce bite.
People were constantly being named and going up to register. However, it was unknown how they were picked. Without following a set order, everyone had to lend an ear.
âBoss, Iâm back!â Guo Ran came over excitedly, a new jade plate on his waist.
âLong Chen, do you submit?!â Tang Wan-er cried suddenly.
Long Chen was first startled, but then he realized Tang Wan-er was looking for an excuse to put Guo Ran away. The little fellow had committed a grievous crime by encouraging him to seduce women right in front of her.
Just as Long Chen was wondering whether he should continue conning Guo Ran or not, Guo Ran raised his hands innocently and cried, âSister Wan-er, I was wrong. Please spare junior disciple! Junior will never dare to do the same thing again!â
Seeing this, Tang Wan-er felt bad for him and reserved herself a bit as well.
âWhatâs this thing used for? This energy, itâs just likeâŠâ Long Chen looked at the jade plate Guo Ran was holding.
âItâs like a photographic jade. I guess it should be a monitoring tool. While wearing it, your every move and action will be viewed by others,â said Meng Qi.
âAh? Are they treating us like criminals?â asked Guo Ran.
Meng Qi shook her head. âIt should be for everyoneâs safety so that disciples donât try to pull any tricks and kill each other.â Meng Qi glanced at Long Chen with worry.
âDonât worry, a well-behaved person like me doesnât like fighting and killing. I will use kindness to win others over,â said Long Chen with a bashful smile.
Let alone Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er, even Guo Ran rarely gave Long Chen such a disdainful look. âBoss, first, letâs not talk about whether or not Iâd believe you, but do you believe yourself?â
Long Chen hadnât expected him to undermine him like this. He raged, âPeople are all capable of change. Didnât I refrain from killing anyone for many months?â
The Dragonblood warriors nodded. Long Chen truly hadnât killed anyone. After all, there hadnât been anyone to kill on the way here.
âFine, I admit my words were a bit exaggerated. So that my good wife Meng Qi doesnât get worried, starting today, I will become someone who subdues others through kindness,â swore Long Chen.
âWell, do your best then. Taking it easier is good,â comforted Meng Qi. She didnât want to change Long Chen, but she did hope for a more peaceful life.
This point was a bit different between men and women. Men wanted stimulation, but while women also liked stimulation, they would also feel worry and fear.
âDonât worry, Iâll take it a bit easier.â Long Chen nodded. He knew Meng Qi only said this for his own good, as his current killing intent was indeed too strong.
He had killed too many people in the Immemorial Path and Eastern Wasteland. Once he fought others, his killing intent would erupt instinctively. Meng Qi hoped he would reserve himself and use his rationality to suppress his desire for slaughter. She didnât want his desire for killing to overpower his rationality.
Last time, with her advice, Long Chen had decided not to exterminate the Eastern Wastelandâs Righteous path. However, she was worried Long Chen would return to that cruel path bit by bit as he was forced by external pressure. So she took great pains to warn him.
Seeing that Long Chen could still open-mindedly accept her opinion in front of everyone, she was gratified. Long Chen was still the old Long Chen. His original heart hadnât changed, which was the most gratifying thing for her.
âThe Eastern Wastelandâs Yue Zifeng.â
When Yue Zifeng walked up, quite a few people let out startled cries. âHeâs actually not a Celestial!â
When they tested his Heavenly Dao energy, the testing device didnât light up at all. This was something even more shocking than the rank five Celestial. If he wasnât even a Celestial, how could he possess such power?
Previously, he had almost killed a rank four Celestial in one blow. Later, Xie Weiâs jaw had been broken by Long Chen, causing him to lose face.
However, Xie Wei had already been tested. He was a rank four Celestial with a dark gold Spirit Blood and mid Xuan tier metal energy. He was clearly a powerful expert.
But such a strong person had almost been killed in one blow by Yue Zifeng. Many people thought Yue Zifeng had been hiding his power and was actually a terrifying rank five Celestial. But now that the truth revealed itself, everyone was shocked. They were unable to accept this result.
âCongratulations junior apprentice-brother. The Xuantian Dao Sectâs gates are already open for you.â Suddenly. Mu Qingxuanâs voice rang out, causing quite a few peopleâs eyes to turn red.
