Chapter 8

Five months has passed since Lu Chen and I cultivated in the mountains. The top 10 in school test is about to begin.

Lu Chen cultivated with me and I gave her a lot of help. I gave her the martial arts for thousand palm strike. It is a mid-tier skills that is applicable for her. It is good for fighting teams or 1 on 1. She has a profound knowledge in spiritual energy release which makes it easier for her to master the skill. She mastered the technique in just for months. And then we sparred for about two weeks. She can probably reach the top 10.

I cultivated the Dragon Skin Body refinement. I mainly focuses on my defense and counter skills. I can fight powerful opponent using this skill. I can withstand powerful strikes and use my opponents power against them.

The bell rang indicating the test is starting. A lot of people was gathered. Powerful families can be seen in their respective location with their disciples.

The stage was spacious. There are a lot of measuring devices are located in the ring. The instructor explained everything to us.

"Disciples of this school. These apparatuses are measuring devices to test your skills. It is not focuses on spiritual power but rather on your skills. If you reach the passing rate of one apparatus, you can advance to another round.

There are different kind of test is suitable for everyone. Spiritual level count is the basic one which measures your spiritual energy. You can use this one to conceal your skills from your opponent until you fight. But remember, only 10 people can be selected in this type of apparatus.

The other one is the strength test. You must be able to carry thrice your weight. You can add more to ensure your place. Using your spiritual energy to lift it is allowed.

These is the two test that you will try. 20 person will be selected in this test. The remaining disciples who didn't selected will have an elimination round."

That is a very long explanation. Their method is quite acceptable. Spiritual level is very important in a fight. The higher you have the higher the chance to win in a fight. But skills is also important. So that is why they decided to give a chance to those disciples that focuses on martial skills to fight it out. I think I will experience this one. My spiritual emission is still weak.

Disciples of different families began to try the spiritual emission test. Their results are high enough to be considered one of the strongest. 7 people has the highest scores. Next of them are thousands apart. The Highest is 9 870 points. The seventh is 8 980 points. The rest is about 5 thousand less.

Twenty disciples are already chosen to fight in the next round. The remaining 30 disciples need to fight it out. I am one of the 30 disciples than needs to fight it out. Lu Chen was top 5 in the spiritual measurement.

Ten disciples will be chosen among 30 people remaining. I won all of my three fights ensuring my spot. I suggested to fight my opponent on in one day. The remaining fights are accomplished in 3 days.

The final people advancing are picked. 10 in the measurement of spiritual energy, 10 for the strength test and lastly 10 to the skill test.

There are a lot of promising techniques that I saw in the fights. I defeated my opponents by using their power against them. It is one of the difficult skills that the instructor knows. I did not even use my dragon scale body to block my opponent skills.

In these 30 people, I will be using my dragon scale body to block spiritual energy attack of my opponent.

The fight will happen. 1 v 1 fights of 30 people. 15 people will be fighting in the finals to know the top 10.

I managed to be one of the fifteen people. Lu Chen also won her fight.

(Talking in the audience. / Masters and Elders of the school.)

Elder one: Hmm. This years disciples are very strong compare to last year. That girl Lu Chen is so skillful. Learning to control that energy is very difficult to master but she seems to have mastered it.

Elder two: Yes. I agree. She will definitely be one of the top 3.

Master 1: Elders, I think you are forgetting a strong candidate. That Mei Kao is promising.

Elder one: Ahhh. That guy. He really is. He has a strong body, it must be a steel like body since he received a lot of blows and is still standing and full of energy.

Elder two: Yes. I agree. He will can even reach the top 5 if he continue to withstand the blows. Let us see if he can still block the top 3 students that has the highest amount of spiritual energy.

The fight continues and only ten left. Now is the real battle to find our own rank within the academy.
