Chapter 39: First Look at the Male Lead
During the time Ye Yong was chatting with Qin Shi Meng, quite a few cultivators had climbed up the mountain, and some of them didnt look very well. It was obvious from how they looked that climbing up the mountain wasnt an easy task.
As someone who had read the novel, Ye Yong knew the contents of the assessment. Hundreds of thousands of people participated, and only a few tens of thousands would pass the first test. Less than 10,000 of them would be able to pass all the assessments.
The Heavenly Luo Sect only accepted elites and talented people. As one of the best sects, they didnt have to worry about not getting enough disciples as many cultivators wanted to join their sect. They instead had to worry about whether the disciples that they got were actually talented or just trash cannon fodder.
As the rogue cultivators and the cultivators from the small cultivation families started to arrive, Qin Shi Meng put on her veil. She wasnt pretending to be cold or hard-to-get or anything- she just didnt want to make the less mentally strong cultivators do worse on the test.
The majority of the young cultivators in the big cultivation families had seen her face, but it was not so for the rogue cultivators or cultivators in small or medium cultivation families. Qin Shi Meng wasnt conceited, but she was fully aware of how beautiful she was and how much someone could be affected by her beauty.
Ye Yong also wasnt in the mood to talk with Qin Shi Meng anymore. He was currently scanning the crowd, trying to find a normal-looking guy who just made people want to trouble him for no particular reason.
Yep, Ye Yong was talking about the male lead, Long Tian.
According to the plot of the novel, Ye Yong had targetted Long Tian during the assessment date and had called a few cultivators to kill Long Tian, causing him to just barely arrive in time and be nearly disqualified.
However, Ye Yong hadnt called anyone to trouble Long Tian, so logically, Long Tian should have arrived long ago. And yet, Ye Yong didnt find anyone that he really felt like bothering after scanning the whole crowd.
Bruh, so even if nobody troubles the male lead, he still has to be the last to arrive? Ye Yong couldnt understand why.
As soon as Ye Yong thought that, the person that he was thinking about appeared. Ye Yong soon saw a slightly panting young man wearing a set of clean clothes walk into the assessment area. He was still in pretty good shape.
Even if it was the first time that Ye Yong had seen him, he was still able to recognize the person at a glance- male lead Long Tian!
Unlike the novel, Long Tian didnt arrive in the nick of time, but he still spent a bit of time dealing with some troubles on his way up- he had been pestered by a small sect. As it turned out, the robbers that he had killed were the members of the small sect. The sect tried to kill Long Tian, so Long Tian had to avoid the members from the sect while avoiding the traps when he went up the mountain.
Tens of thousands of people were separated into hundreds of groups based on their cultivation levels. Even though everyone was given 3 chances to knock down the stone, some people only needed 1 hit to do so, so this part of the exam didnt actually take that much time. The purpose of this was to test the cultivators physical body and strength, and this part alone eliminated a third of the people that had come to take the exam. This was because many cultivators relied solely on spiritual energy to overpower and bully others, causing them to negate their physical body and strength.
The 2nd part of the exam was very similar to the first part of the exam, except that this time, the cultivators were allowed to use spiritual energy to knock down the stone. Of course, the stone used for this was different from the previous one.
The cultivators could easily pass this as long as they were of the 3rd layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
As for the cultivators that werent even at the 3rd layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm? Go out and turn right, the River Snail Sect is also recruiting.
As for cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm, the Heavenly Luo Sect had prepared stones used to test energy qi.
The 3rd part of the exam was assessing spiritual roots.
This part was great for people to show off- just imagine all the faces of admiration and jealousy that would appear when one revealed their extreme rank spiritual roots. Of course, conversely, if a persons spiritual root was too low in rank or too horrible, they would make a horrible fool out of themselves in front of tens of thousands of people.
After these first 3 parts of the exam, only 10 thousand cultivators would remain, and most of them would be able to get accepted into the Heavenly Luo Sect. However, there was still the last part- assessing cultivation level.
Not only does this assess a cultivators real cultivation level, but it can also test a cultivators foundation- whether it was steady and stable or rushed. At this point, many members of the large cultivation families all looked at Qin Shi Meng.
Whether she was a real phoenix or just a chicken with phoenix feathers pretending to be a phoenix, the truth was about to be revealed.
Translators Notes:
Heavenly Luo is , which sounds like , a type of snail. The joke is that the cultivators that didnt qualify for the Tian Luo Sect (Heavenly Luo Sect) can still join a Tian Luo Sect (River Snail Sect).
The author put cultivation and spiritual root assessment as parts 3 and 4, but they were done together.
Sorry for disappearing without notice. I got a summer job to help fund my tuition. I quit a few days ago and rested for a bit, so I guess Ill slowly start translating again.
