Chapter 7: Assessment By the Great Elder
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Looking at Victor’s back as he left, the entire dormitory’s servant disciples’ eyes were filled with admiration.
“As expected of a big shot, he went out to cultivate right after finishing his meal.”
“Everyone, hurry up and cultivate and learn from Senior Brother Victor. Don’t you see that senior brother is catching up?”
In the past, Victor had also cultivated relentlessly, but at that time, there were no results, so naturally, no one paid attention to him.
However, things were different now. When they saw that Victor was already so outstanding but remained hard-working, everyone in the dormitory was frenzied.
When Victor went out to train, as usual, the entire servant hall was in an uproar with the fact that Victor had defeated the number one servant disciple, Zhang Huan, in less than three moves.
This uproar even spread to the martial arts peak next door.
“Have you heard? Zhang Huan, the number one servant disciple, was defeated by someone, and it was a servant disciple whose cultivation level was far inferior to his. I heard that the winner was determined within three moves.”
“Tsk, isn’t that Zhang Huan Kid just bragging. I can defeat him in one move. Defeating Zhang Huan isn’t impressive at all.”
“Don’t speak so fast. If you were in his situation, you wouldn’t even perform as well as him! He had advanced to the third-rate realm less than a month ago, but he already challenged Zhang Huan, who was in the intermediate stage of the third-rate realm, and even managed to defeat Zhang Huan.”
“Heh! He is already famous for challenging people of a higher level than him. It is a certainty that he will come to our martial arts peak. It all depends on which elder will take him in!”
Meanwhile, on the other side, the great elder of the Qingyun Sect, Song Xiuwen, was listening to the report of his disciple, Hua Feng, about Victor.
“Is this true?” After listening to Hua Feng’s detailed report, Song Xiuwen asked with a doubtful look.
Seeing his disciple nodding with sincerity and judging by his disciple’s character, he knew that he wasn’t lying.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn other words, this servant disciple named Victor had really practiced the Qingyun sword technique to perfection.
Hu...
Song Xiuwen took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Perfection!
What kind of concept was this? Cultivation techniques and martial art techniques were divided into eight levels: amateur, skilled, proficient, initial success, successful, completed, perfection, and transformation.
Song Xiuwen, on the other hand, had only cultivated the Qingyun sword technique to the completion level.
Although he had been using the Qingyun sword technique less and less ever since he had learned a more powerful sword technique, even so, he had already used this sword technique for several decades.
Victor had only entered the sect for three years. Even if he had been training relentlessly every day and night, it was impossible for him to improve so quickly.
Unless this person had talent in swordsmanship!
After thinking for a while, Song Xiuwen felt that there was only one possibility.
“Hua Feng, visit the servant hall along with Senior Gu. Ask Victor to perform the Qingyun sword technique again. If the situation turns out to be true, bring him back to the martial arts peak.”
Even if the situation was true, Song Xiuwen would not personally go to test Victor. After all, as the great elder of the Qingyun Sect, there were many things to do for the sect every day. He couldn’t spend his time just for a disciple.
“Yes!”
When Hua Feng heard this, a trace of joy flashed through his heart.
Hua Feng’s Senior Brother Gu, whose full name was Gu Xu, was the third elder, Yu Yang’s personal disciple.
..
On the other side.
Victor, who had just obtained a level five talent, was already cultivating the Qignyun mantra. He really wanted to know how much his cultivation realm could improve with his level five talent along with the help of the Qingyun mantra.
He had no idea that his performance had alarmed the Great Elder Song Xiuwen. As he cultivated the Qingyun mantra, his sleeves flapped as if there were air flowing through.
After 15 minutes, Victor opened his eyes in joy. “This level-five talent is really fast. This speed is almost twice as fast as when I had a level-three talent.”
“No wonder my progress was still slow even after working so hard. Talent really is important.”
Victor sighed for a while, then immediately entered the cultivation state again.
Cultivation still had to be done properly. After feeling that the true qi in his body had thickened, he could rest.
The next day.
Victor was about to go to the lakeside to fetch water to complete his daily mission when heard a commotion nearby.
Then, a joyful scream came from outside the house.
Victor turned around and saw that it was Ye Hao.
“Senior Brother Victor, Senior Brother Victor, there’s good news. Go to the martial arts arena now. Senior Brother Hua and Senior Brother Gu are waiting for you there.”
“I heard that it’s because you defeated Zhang Huan yesterday. Senior Brother Hua happened to see it. Today, they specially came here to evaluate you. As long as you pass, you can enter the martial arts peak and become an official disciple!”
Ye Hao was out of breath. His eyes were full of envy as he said excitedly.
The martial arts peak meant that one did not have to do the chores of the sect anymore. For example, the servant disciples were assigned to carry water, others were assigned to wash clothes, chop wood, and so on. However, as long as one became an official disciple, it meant that one had obtained the approval of the sect and could focus on cultivation.
For such a thing, no one from the servant hall wouldn’t be envious.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEspecially after seeing Victor being chosen by his two senior brothers and coming to perform the assessment personally, he was so envious that he was almost drooling.
..
On the arena.
Victor had just arrived when he heard a man dressed in plain clothes with a firm expression asking loudly, “You are Victor?”
“Senior brother, it’s him. I remember what he looks like!”
Facing Gu Xu’s question, before Victor could reply, a handsome man dressed in gorgeous clothes beside him had already answered for him.
“Victor, don’t be nervous. I heard from Junior Brother Hua that your Qingyun sword technique had been perfected. I’ve specially come here today because of this matter. You can demonstrate it now. If it is as what he said, we’ll head to the martial arts peak immediately!”
Gu Xu said unhurriedly, while Hua Feng, who was beside him, was nodding his head at Victor with an encouraging expression.
Victor looked at the expectant eyes of the two and took a deep breath.
Both of his hands were slightly trembling.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, he might be nervous but only he knew that it was due to the uncontrollable excitement in his heart.
Yesterday, he was still thinking about how he could be chosen by the elders of the sect and enter the martial arts peak. If things go accordingly, under normal circumstances, a test will be done by the great elders in the servant hall every four months.
He could only wait for the opportunity.
Only one night had passed. He didn’t expect to have the opportunity today.
On the way, Victor was still thinking that he had to maintain his composure later. He couldn’t let his two senior brothers look down on him. However, when he entered the martial arts field and saw the expectant expressions of the crowd and the encouraging gaze from the two senior brothers, he couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart.
Victor slowly walked step by step towards the weapon rack on the right side of the training field while he adjusted his breathing. When he held the green steel sword firmly in his hands, his heart instantly calmed down.
Victor casually drew the green steel sword and out came a few sword shadows. The blade of the sword facing towards the ground.
Seeing this scene, Gu Xu and Hua Feng were surprised to find that Victor’s aura had changed. He was steady like a heavy yet sharp sword.
