14: Trial starts

"Old Liu, I'm ready" xiao Chen smiled at Old Liu before he followed him into the courtyard..

While xiao Chen was following behind old Liu, a young man and a young women walked out of the courtyard.

They were both wearing exquisite robes, these two were the young master and miss of the Liu family..

They were both at least over the age of 18 years already, they looked skeptical about xiao Chen's strength, after all most boys his age would only just start cultivating, they could only shake their head, many youths would try to join the sect, but it was harder than they expected..

Liu Wang smiles at Old Liu before sayin "Old Liu, I don't know what you see in the kid, but since it's your order we will take him with us" Liu Wang said with an assuring smile..

"Anyways, let's not waste time, we should leave early" Liu fei, the young miss of the Liu clan, she was also a genius of the village, the Liu family was apparently the strongest family in gale village, apart from the village chief himself..

Liu fei and Liu Wang didn't think much of xiao Chen, they exited the door before walking into a large wooden carriage..

Xiao Chen also didn't think much of it, even though he could destroy these two with just a few sword swings, there was no point in showing off so early..

Xiao Chen sat in a meditative position in the carriage, the Liu young masters also didn't bother with him, it was as if they were just showing face to Old Liu by taking him along with them..

....

After the carriage moved slowly along the stone carved paths of the village, xiao Chen opened his eyes as the bustling noises entered his ears..

Looking through the window in front of him, xiao chen noticed many people standing in groups, some could be seen holding weapons and other objects, while there was a larger group just standing there as if they were only here to watch the action..

There was a huge stage in the middle of the village, this stage had always been prepared each time the immortal sect came to select disciples, they would rarely do this, but the village had gotten a notice months ago..

All the hot-blooded youths were training very hard, even with cultivation alone, it was still hard to join the ranks of the sect without skills..

Xiao Chen grinned as the carriage door opened, he wasn't nervous or afraid one bit, if even the village leader would possibly lose in a fight against him, what was the point of being scared of the "geniuses" of this gale village..

Liu Wang and Liu fei didn't even look at xiao Chen before they walked out of the carriage and were greeted by many people, xiao Chen naturally stepped out of the carriage as well, he didn't plan to follow them, he could tell that they wanted nothing to do with him..

They weren't arrogant, but they were also too prideful..

Xiao Chen shook his head with a smile before walking towards a place where most of the people who "might" be participating were waiting at, they stood in the side of the huge stage, separate from the spectators who were the villagers..

"The examiners are here"

One person in the crowd of the villagers shouted loudly, causing nearly everyone to look around in confusion, but after seeing where the man was pointing to, all the youths were excited as they tightly clenched their fists..

The huge sword which xiao Chen had seen earlier was currently seen once again, soaring above the clouds and towards the village...

Surprisingly, the huge sword didn't get smaller, instead it remained the same size as a middle-aged man flew towards them, it was as if he was soaring through the skies, many villagers expected the middle-aged man in those elegant and wealthy robes to fall to his death, yet he gracefully opened his arms as his figure slowly drifted onto the wooden stage in the center of the gale village..

"Hello, everyone" the middle-aged man had a smile on his face as he looked towards the participants on the side, completely ignoring the villagers and acting as if he hadn't just fell from thousands of meters, the huge sword still stood there afloat in the sky..

"Ok, no bullsh*t, I will make this fast, whoever can make this thing light up will be able to join the sect" the middle-aged man waved his arms, causing his robes to flutter through the wind, an ethereal energy escaping the tip of his fingers..

A huge golden pillar was placed onto the stage, causing it to slightly shake from the impact..

"Don't waste time, first person, attack it with all your strength" the middle aged man seemed to be in a hurry as he eyed a random person in the group of participants..

Many people were shocked, not expecting the test to be this easy, many grinned at their luck before celebrating in their mind...

The first person who went up was a slightly bulky young-man with a huge sword on his back, with a step forward, he released a ferocious roar before punching towards the golden pillar...

Bam!!!

A loud sound rang throughout the whole village.

Even so, the huge pillar was unmoving and didn't even bulge one bit..

Silence, no one dared to talk, even a punch like that couldn't even light up the pillar?, you have got to be shitting me..

"Fail" these words witch were thrown out by the middle-aged cultivator broke the silence, causing many happy youths to frown deeply..

Many people who were expecting the trial to be easy felt depressed, some who couldn't even compete with the young man who had just failed instantly gave up, not even planning to try their luck.

Xiao chen smiled, this was probably a test more on technique and control than strength itself, who knows?
