Chapter 237: Choose a number
” Brother, will you fight? ” Emma asked, eating her ice cream.
” Yes Emi, I’ll be going soon, do you want anything else? ”
He asked, and Emma just shook her head and enjoyed her special seat and Jayden’s caress.
More than half of the disciples were rejected since their battle prowess didn’t meet the requirement, and all of them walked back with their heads low.
Xiao Rong had won many fights already and didn’t need to fight one battle so far, The same was true for Qiang, he was also winning as all the disciples surrendered just after seeing him.
After some time, when Jayden’s turn to get tested was near, placing Emma on the seat he teleported back to his previous seat.
Gang was so lost in his world that he hadn’t noticed Jayden’s disappearance, since he couldn’t believe that soon he would get so many points.
*SLAP*
Gang was brought out of his dream as a light slap landed on his face with a frown he looked towards Jayden, his eyes asking for reasons.
” Go quickly, it’s your turn now. ”
Jayden said pointing towards the blue crystal, and Gang looked away in a hurry and saw everyone staring at him, with a slightly awkward expression he stood up and walked towards the crystal.
As he went he didn’t forget to show a confident smile towards Jayden, after reaching the crystal he placed his hand on it with the same confidence.
The big blue crystal glowed and immediately seven dots appeared in it.
” Alright, you pass you are qualified to go to the next stage. ”
The young elder said and smiled towards Gang, who walked back to his seat with a victorious expression as if the competition had already ended. After getting close to Jayden, he spoke:
” I was cool, right? And don’t worry about things like my lower cultivation base, with my strength I can even defeat some of the senior disciples. ”
He lied without even blinking.
Jayden couldn’t take his gibberish anymore and walked towards the blue crystal, it was his turn.
As he got near the crystal many eyes focused on him, Jia, Xiao, all his wives, Emma, Layla, Bao, Qiang and many more people all observed him with great interest.
Jayden moved his hands towards the crystal, and glancing to the side he asked:
‘ Emma, choose a number between 6 to 9. ‘
Emma who was now enjoying her new candy while looking at Jayden was startled, but she recognised his voice immediately, and after a second she gave her candy to Sasha and raised her fingers towards Jayden, as all the women around her watched Emma in confusion.
Jayden smiled and then began channelling his energy into the blue crystal, it glowed like usual and then dots began appearing in it.
One dot, two dots, three dots,… Seven dots, Eight dots and then it finally stopped at the Ninth Dot.
Many people were surprised, since among the junior disciple if someone is at the 9th stage of the Body refining then he/she could be considered a genius.
Then Jayden retracted his hand from the crystal and without waiting for the elder to speak, he walked back.
The young elder was left there standing awkwardly, then he remembered Jayden’s face and the way he acted before in his class.
‘ It is that bastard again, I’ll make sure to give you the strongest of the opponents. I’ll make you lose your very first fight. ‘ he thought, gritting his teeth in annoyance.
Then the rest of the students were tested and at the end almost two hundred disciples were selected to go the next round, after creating a battle list the young elder began explaining:
” In the first battle, several groups of twenty disciples will be formed and only one disciple from each group will be selected. Do any of you have any questions? ” He asked, gazing over all the junior disciples.
One of the girls raised her hand, and after the elder nodded she began asking: ” I think it’s not fair since many disciples will act in groups and it will be really disadvantageous for most of us. ”
After listening to the girl, the elder replied:
” It is perfectly fine even if you form a group, even though this is a sect battle it is also to help you prepare for the real battles, you will not have a chance there to complain about the enemy joining hands, and you won’t get hurt here so try to learn as much as you can. ”
He said, not only saying this to the girl but also to all the other disciples. The girl nodded with a solemn expression and sat back, the elder looked around, and then he spoke:
” Alright, if there are no more questions, then we will proceed with the battles- ”
The elder was interrupted by a raised hand, he saw that it was the disciple named Chang Ho, the strongest junior disciple.
With a nod, the elder allowed him to speak:
” Are we allowed to kill other disciples? If not, then what is the maximum extent of injuries we can inflict on others? Are we allowed to destroy their energy cores? ”
Chang Ho asked, scaring the rest of the disciples.
” No, you aren’t allowed to kill or destroy the energy cores of any of the disciples, breaking a limb or two is the limit, if you go any further then you will be immediately be disqualified from the competition and will be punished severely by the sect. ”
The elder announced, and all the disciples finally relaxed a bit.
One more hand was raised after that and the disciple asked:
” What is the prize for the top ten disciples? ”
Listening to this question, everyone’s ears were perked up, since if the rewards were good then they would be even more motivated.
” I can’t tell you the details yet, but… ” The elder said creating some tension, then he added:
” The top three will definitely get a pill of high quality and a mid grade weapon of your choice, so all of you must do your best. ”
Listening to these words filled everyone with a new motivation.
But Jayden had no use of them, he looked to the side and saw Gang who was still staring at him in complete shock, with a little confusion he asked:
” What’s wrong? Why are staring at me like that? ”
After a few seconds, Gang spoke: ” You are really that strong? Why didn’t you say so earlier? ”
Jayden smirked, as he understood why he looked so afraid all of a sudden, he smiled and said:
” Didn’t you say you have already defeated a few senior disciples, that’s why I didn’t brag about my strength. Anyway, now you have to win or else I’ll… You know right? ”
Jayden said threateningly. Gang gulped down, and a feeling of dread filled his entire being he was regretting doing all that earlier, now he understood why Jayden had so much money.
” Alright, let me announce the groups, numbers disciples 8 to 53, those who qualified in between these numbers will be in group one, then number 59 to 92 will be in group two and… ”
