Chapter 19.

From afar we could see a tall and ancient city standing in front of us, as its walls exuded a fierce and tough feeling, while the nameplate above the gate exuded an overbearing intent which when I looked had an impression to tear me apart, I looked away with some difficulty, but when I saw other kids, they don't seem to feel anything, when I once again tried to look at it I could only feel it looks good, but not the previous overbearing intent.

When I felt confused someone tapped my shoulders from behind, as I turned to see who it was.

Chen Rong's voice came from behind as his face came into my view while he chuckled and cleared my confusion by saying.

" Don't use your mental strength to look at the Nameplate it is something left by a spirit Ancestor level expert, one who was said to have the strength to defeat a supreme. He was the one who used his battle intent to write this Nameplate so don't try to compare with it, you still have time to grow, if you recklessly you might injure your mental spirit."

Nodding in understanding I turn to look at other things, but as it was already evening the only things I saw is large walls that covered a very big circle thrice the size of Spring city which could in itself accommodate 3-4 villages, and a long line stood in front of the Gate.

The line moved quickly which shows how efficient and quick the guards in the provincial city are, and in a dozen minutes it was our turn, where Old Lin just showed the proof of us being Spirit Pagoda's personnel, seeing the proof the guard let us go without any checking while saluting to Old Lin. This little gesture already shows no matter where you are in this kingdom, people still need to give respect to the personnel of major organizations.

After entering the gate we saw a large road, which could at one time run several carriages side by side, but still, even it was the night we could see carriages and people rushing around crowding the area.

We drove our way straight to a pagoda with 9 floors, we all came out of the carriages with luggage on our backs, as we curiously looked at the pagoda while people rushed in and out of it.

Old Lin and the spirit warriors counted our numbers for one last time, after finishing the count and seeing no one was missing they took us and entered the pagoda.

Entering the pagoda we saw a large hall with a reception in the middle and a weirdly big board on the right with some chairs and tables beside it, while there were the stairs on the left side.

Old Lin walked over to talk with the receptionist while the spirit warriors inside looked at us with some curiosity, while we also looked back at them with curiousness, as some of the more came over and talked to the Spirit warriors in our group, they quickly got to know that we were from Spring city, which although does not contain not the best batch but still brings a good amount of talented children, so they smiled and encouraged us before moving backs.

Old Lin quickly came backs and took us through the chair, he brought us to the third floor which was the hotel area where all the spirit pagoda personnel come to take a break and get together, while the second floor looked like a place to get the tasks and submitting the task.

On the third floor, he let us kids wait and order something to eat, while he and the other spirit warriors went out leaving only 2 among them to watch us. As soon as they left the kids started to wander around the floor curiously while they jungled around the whole floor I got to the reception of this floor and asked the man responsible to bring me a few meat dishes and some soft drinks, as I sat on the chair waiting for the dishes to be served while I looked around.

There was nothing much to see except for the old and tranquil design, which made the whole hall filled with calmness, which is currently being brutally destroyed by a few bear kids, and there were only a few Spirit warriors sitting here, who didn't bother themselves with the kids.

Quickly my dishes were served seeing me eating in silence the other kids also started to get quiet and ordered their own dishes, the kids who were in my group came to sit with me and ordered their dishes, I didn't talk with then just silently ate my food, they also affected by my attitude also ate their food silently. Within a few minutes, the whole Hall once again returned to calm while everyone ate their food.

After a dozen or so minutes, Old LIn and others came down and urged us to eat our food quickly.

Finishing our dishes at the fastest speed we could, we lined in front of them, as they took us up, we walked to the fifth floor, which looked like a modern office completely different from the old feeling this Pagoda showed earlier.

They quickly urged us to line up in front of a spirit power checking stone, everybody knew that this process is what will define our future, that is if your spirit power is low then you will be assigned to a common class and if your spirit power is high you will be assigned to a special class that is when you graduate you will get special benefits of passing through this class and many organizations will invite you with high pay rate.

So everybody became serious, filling the atmosphere with a slightly nervous and serious atmosphere as they checked their sprit power and divided the group into two, the ones on the right were the one's with spirit power lower than 6 while on the left were the ones with spirit power equal to and greater than 6 which means this is a special group.

I was in the middle so my turn came quickly, as I just walked to the Spirit power checking stone, Old Lin came from the side and stopped me from the check and turned to look at the moderator who was responsible for checking and nodded at him, as he took me to the side to stand beside him. I looked at him with confusion but he didn't reply to me and just stood there watching the process continue. I stopped my urge to ask him and also stood silently by his side since I knew he wouldn't harm me and there must be something special to let me wait.

After a dozen or so minutes the group was divided in two while the left had less the 5 kids as the right had more in their number the moderator came and took the kid to registration while Old Lin first said his goodbye's to the spirit warriors who came with us, and then took me and Chen Rong towards a specific room in this office.

Standing in front of this room, he slowly knocked on the door and waited for the person inside to answer.

In a few seconds, words came from inside to enter.

Entering the first thing to enter my sight was dragons head hung in front of the entrance which stunned me, it took me quite a few seconds to get back my senses, while Old Lin has already started talking to another old man, who was also filled with unprecedented vigor and each of his small actions showed he was someone with power, as you could also feel some oppression coming from him.

I ignored the two old guys and continued to look at the room with Chen Rong who was also just as stunned as I am, I squinted my eyes as I looked at the floor which had tiger skin spread around, while a large snakeskin was used as the wallpaper on the walls, there were also some other things that used the spirit beast to be made that I didn't understand like a chair made of bones I don't know which beast it came from, some cat whiskers to be used as decoration on his table, etc.

Seeing me in a daze Old LIn laughed and quickly urged me to come over while Chen Rong came with me. Standing beside him I looked at the old man he was talking to with a child-like curiousness since I was curious who this person was to use so many spirit beast materials and that looked very expensive as the beast looked to be very strong.

Old Lin smiled and said slightly.

" Little Feng meet my old-time captain Might Kai."
