Chapter 13: Three top-tier beauties
While William was busy cursing the system, the final test already started under the guidance of senior disciple Aron.
Currently only those five hundred new official outer disciples are standing in front of the stairs. Their maid and family members had already been transferred to the entrance of the outer disciple's martial courtyards. They are watching the test from there.
"Ok, if everyone understands the rules of the competition, then you can go ahead, but remember, even though you are already official outer disciples of the sect, the result of this competition can greatly affect the treatment you will get from the sect, so please don't take this test casually."
As soon as Aron announced the start of the competition, almost half of the participants rushed towards the stairs like madmen.
"Haha... Watch me take the first ranking reward."
"Hey, make way for our Miss."
"Get lost if you are not ready to face the trial, don't block my path."
"Hahaha! Our scarlet city will take the first three spots."
"Chi!! First position is not for lowly commoners like you."
Swift slash!!!
"Shit! Which madman is using skills here? Don't you hear it's banned to use any skills in this test?"
Stairs were wide enough for at least fifteen people to walk together, but even that wasn't enough for the hot-blooded new disciples. It didn't even take fifteen minutes for them to start infighting.
"Participant Luice, you are disqualified because you used a technique and broke the terms of the test. Please exit the stairs from the side."
"Participant Ricky, you are disqualified because you used a technique and broke the terms of the test. Please exit the stairs from the side."
Aron is as quick as lightning, disqualifying the attackers as soon as he spotted them. 'those fools!! How could they be such idiots?' Aron couldn't comprehend the intelligence of these ants.
It's been ten years since Aron became a disciple of the Star Sword Sect. When he first came here, he was just a little 7th level flesh-tempering kid, but competition was very fierce back then. Disciples would just for every little reward, but they never made any hasty decisions.
The cultivation path is full of uncertainty. If you make a move without preparation or confidence, you could lose your life.
Those jumping disciples are a perfect example. In just thirty minutes, more than eighty percent of them got disqualified.
Thanks to those sacrificial Lumb, relatively smart disciples got some understanding about the test.
William scanned the crowd, searching for potential Dao companions. As a dual cultivator, it's his duty to actively find Dao companions on his own.
Sure enough, he found three very beautiful girls in the crowd of new disciples.
The first one is obviously Lucia. He knew from earlier that her personality is very haughty and arrogant, and combined with her beauty, it could be said she is top-tier beauty.
The second one is standing further away from everyone. Her facial expression is very cold, and combined with her white snow-like hair and white robe, she looked like a cold jade beauty.
No one is brave enough to approach her because of the chilling aura emanating from her body. Her body curves are also good, but she lacks meat in obvious places. 'Did she train too much for her body to not gain any fat?'
But what attracted William's attention is the third beauty. Standing in the crowd, her beauty could only be called devilish. Her smile is like a secret temptation that could charm a man. The black robe hung on her voluptuous body tightly, but it only made her curves more noticeable. Her assets are above average. Young boys are like fireflies centered around her, attracted by her pheromones. Her black cascading hairs are like waterfalls. If someone told him that she is a succubus, he would have believed him then and there.
But a demon isn't stupid enough to approach the Star Sword Sect. If found out, they will be killed instantly.
William licked his lips. They say in the world of cultivation opportunities are everywhere, and William could also smell his opportunities. If he wants to gain more opportunities like this, he has to become more shameless and approach them in the future.
After a few minutes, William also started to walk on the stairs. The first hurdle is about withstanding 3X amounts of gravity, which is relatively easy for him. His extreme yang physique combined with his 8th level of flesh tempering made the first hurdle very easy.
After the 66th stair, William felt an odd spiritual pressure. It's a spiritual test.
As a person who already faced death and transmigration, William's soul power and spirit are already very high. The last two tests could be said to walk in the park for him, but he knew he shouldn't attract the attention of those old monsters inside the sect.
If they found out his secret about being a dual cultivator, no one could tell what they would do. They could easily force him to cultivate properly after killing or capturing his Dao companions.
Huff!! Huff....
William started acting like an exhausted man after walking 150 stairs. There are not many contestants at this point, only some fifteen or so disciples walking in front of him. William felt this much was sufficient and quickly exited the test.
[Ding!! Quest 'prove your worth' completed!!.]
[Congratulations!! You obtained 16th place in the ranking.]
[You obtained 50 sect points.]
[Ding!! You obtained 10 flesh-tempering pills and a mortal-level high tire-sword technique. Please collect them from the elders.]
It took some time for the competition to end. Surprisingly, that cold jade beauty got the first place, while that succubus-like demonic beauty and Lucia got 3rd and 4th place. A boy with a tall and handsome build got 2nd place.
The participants were too exhausted to gossip loudly. Everyone was silently watching the big hologram of the ranking list and waiting for the rewards.
[Test rankings]
[1st place: Elizabeth Frost][2nd place: Henry][3rd place: Sophia][4th place: Lucia Stone]
Sure enough, just as the test ended, quite a few elders rushed towards the first ten winners, offering them valuable opportunity.
"Hello Elizabeth, I am the 3rd elder, proficient in frost art. Are you willing to follow me as your master?"
"Hello Henry, I am the 2nd elder, proficient in earth art. Are you willing to follow me as your master?"
"Hello Lucia, I am the 2nd elder, proficient in earth art. Are you willing to follow me as your master?"
"Hello Sophia, I am the 7th elder, proficient in the illusion art. Are you willing to follow me as your master?"
"Yes, the disciple is willing."Disciples accepted the invitation one after another without even thinking. Did they need to think twice? This is a heaven-sent opportunity.
William couldn't even comprehend what would have happened if he ended up with one of the elders.
"Silence" suddenly a loud voice stopped everyone in their tracks.
"Greetings, grand elder." Every elder quickly turned around and bowed towards the elderly figure with respect.
The grand elder quickly scrutinized the new disciples while distributing the rewards according to their ranking.
William looked at the'mid-level swordplay' sword technique book in his hand with pleasing eyes. This book contains the swordplay on how to properly use your body and increase the power output of your strike. It could be said that it's the perfect technique for him. But that smile didn't last long after hearing the next words.
"1st, 2nd, and 3rd ranking special reward will be given to them whenever you are ready. It's an opportunity to bathe in 'the marrow washing pool' for one hour. When you reach the peak of flesh tempering, you can ask your masters about it."The grand elder solemnly announced the special reward of the winning participants.
William could only helplessly shock his head. If he deliberately didn't lose, it can be his chance to quickly breakthrough. But the result is already out, and he couldn't reverse it.
After announcing the rewards, William quickly found Mia, Anna, and Seina.
******
William, Mia, and Anna currently sat inside William's bedroom while Seina went to fix the house and garden. This is a small house given to every outer disciple.
"Big sister, when are we going to build our family? Are the materials hard to find?" Anna asked in a low voice. Her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. Mia is one of the Dao companions of William now; she had to address her as a big sister from now on. William just smiled as he silently listened to their conversation.
"No, little sister, it's not that hard to find permanent inscription material. But it's very costly. We could imprint the family brand in our body tomorrow as long as we find the materials in Star City." Mia said to Anna, reassuring her. Mia smiled playfully at Anna's reaction. She found it very cute to tease a little sister now that she has one. She could already guess what her new little sister was thinking. "You could address me as mistress like before if you wanted to. I wouldn't mind."
"No! Big sister is fine with me." Anna quickly replied to her. If she addresses her as a mistress, doesn't it mean that she has an upper position in the harem? Anna is not going to fall for her tricks. But she found it very hard to tackle this playful 'big sister'.
