CHAPTER NINETY-TWO“I know you all must be nervous. But I can assure you, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. You have got this, believe in yourself, and believe in everything that you have been taught..”His words seemed to have affected some of the S-rankers who began to adjust themselves, feeling a little bit relaxed, but Kai couldn’t feel the same way as most of them. He seemed to be the most nervous among all the S-rankers in the hall.“They even got trained for this day, how am I even supposed to know what to do? Why didn't you tell me about the training? Is this a trap?” The questions nestled in his mind, and he couldn’t stop himself from turning to look at Mr. Bruce who was looking at the S-rankers with a very stern countenance on his face. It was as if he was trying to read their minds.“Not all of you shall indeed be chosen by the Guilds, but that doesn’t mean that you are a failure, or that you cannot be a great Awakener. What it means is that you will have to prepa

CHAPTER NINETY FOUR“Come on, guys. Let’s get going. By the way, you really have to tell me what I need to do, I have absolutely no idea of what I am supposed to do.” Kai said as he walked toward the exit of the hall, while the two people behind him seemed so surprised at how fast his mood switched from being dull to being very proactive.They exchanged glances at each other, and it was very obvious that they had the same thoughts going through their minds.Kai walked for a few seconds, and when he noticed that his companions were not walking behind him, he stopped and turned to look at them.“Come on, guys! There is no time.” He said, and continued looking at them, waiting for them to start walking toward him.“Let’s go, Jess,” Gerald said to Jessica the moment he realized that they had been standing for almost a minute. He sighed heavily, and then he started to walk toward Kai who smiled at him the moment he saw him walking toward him.Jessica followed suit almost immediately and in

CHAPTER NINETY SIX“Where did everyone go?”“The Arena, Dave. Today is really a special day, and no one would want to miss it.”“Even the other awakeners?”“Yes, even the other awakeners. You don’t look like you have ever witnessed this.” Gerald said calmly, and then he turned around to look at Kai with curiosity written all over his face.“Yeah, sadly. I was always sent on errands whenever there was any important event at the headquarters. I guess no one really wanted to have an F-ranker around.” Kai said with a sad look on his face which appeared the moment he was reminded of his past experiences as an F-ranker.“Hey, man! Chill, everything is about to change, or should I say that everything is already changing for you. Today is a big day, and you should be happy. Put on your bright face, and let’s go get you a Guild.” Gerald said in an attempt to cheer Kai up, and it seemed as though his plan was working.“Thanks, Gerald.”“You are welcome, Dave,” Gerald said with a smile on his fa

After some time, Ye Qingtang finally reached the end of the Path to Heaven.At the top of the clouds shone a radiant light. A magnificent palace stood on the clouds. It had open pavilions and terraces and was shaded by surrounding trees. Facing against the sun, it was as though the holy light was shining from behind the sect.If one did not witness it personally, they would be unable to imagine that the sect was actually positioned on top of the cloud layers.No wonder ordinary people never knew where the sects were at.One could know how scary the powerful people within the sect were to be able to build a sect on the clouds and bear thousands of disciples in it.At the end of the Path to Heaven was Xuanling Sect’s main entrance where its gates, that were several meters high, were carved with huge dragons. Outside the gate, a middle-aged man in a light-blue long gown stood in front of the door with a few Xuanling Sect disciple behind him.Ye Qingtang finished ascending the Path to Hea

The first step of the sect assessment was to assess the candidates’ spirit roots.Red ones were inferior-grade, orange and yellow ones were medium-grade, and green ones were superior-grade. If one possessed a blueish-green spirit root, they would be able to skip the outer sect and become an inner sect disciple immediately.As for blue and purple spirit roots, no one had seen one for over a thousand years. None of the sect were still hoping for that.The way Xuanling Sect assessed spirit roots was rather special. It did not require candidates to show their spirit root. Instead, they would place their hands on a human-sized Spirit Stone and direct their strength using their spirit root. The Spirit Stone would change into the same color as their spirit root.The order people were tested was based on the sequence in which people finished the Path to Heaven, starting from the last.The first candidate stepped forward and placed his hand on the Spirit Stone. Soon, the ivory stone turned yel
