Chapter 388 - 382: Can’t Figure It Out (5th Update)

Suddenly.

The mist before their eyes cleared away!

Then.

Before their eyes appeared a vast expanse of attics and houses, arranged with order and precision.

These attics and houses had an architectural style completely different from those on Earth, all made of wood, with each piece of timber intricately carved with exquisite patterns.

Each house was like a piece of art.

"Master, just now..." Su Chen curiously asked.

"Just now was a formation, the Illusionary Formation Trigger, used to prevent the enemies from invading, for defense. Of course, its effect is not significant. Those with stronger strength could break through this Illusionary Formation!" Huo Shouying explained briefly.

Just then.

"Sect Leader!" Suddenly, three figures swiftly appeared before them.

Among the three, one was an old man, and the other two were middle-aged.

The old man had white hair and beard, wore a gray-white robe, and was empty-handed, exuding the aura of a profound master.

The two middle-aged men, one tall and big with a huge sword in hand, wore a red robe, had thick eyebrows, and a dark complexion. The other held a treasured sword with a smiling face, slightly shorter in stature, and his eyes shone brightly.

"Su Chen, they are the three elders of Burning Heaven Sect, the Great Elder Xuu Zhan, Second Elder Zhao Wuwei, and Third Elder Bai Zhen," Huo Shouying introduced. The white-haired elder was the Great Elder, Xuu Zhan, Zhao Wuwei was the tall and big man in the red robe with the dark face, and the shorter man with the sword was Bai Zhen.

"Elder Xuu, Elder Zhao, Elder Bai, I am Su Chen!" Su Chen said neither servile nor overbearing, also roughly sensing the realm of the three.

Firstly, Xuu Zhan was at the Seventh Stage of Hollow Void Realm.

Zhao Wuwei was at the Sixth Stage of Hollow Void Realm.

Bai Zhen was also at the Sixth Stage of Hollow Void Realm.

However, among the three, the one Su Chen felt was the strongest was actually Third Elder Bai Zhen. Bai Zhen’s aura was extremely fierce and cold-blooded; despite Bai Zhen’s smiling face, his aura was completely opposite to his expression.

"He is Su Chen, the first place in the Divine Ladder assessment, and I have taken him as my Closed-door Disciple!" Huo Shouying continued.

At once.

Xuu Zhan, Zhao Wuwei, and Bai Zhen all changed expressions, their eyes flickered, staring deeply at Su Chen.

The three could not believe it!!!

First.

A youngster at the Middle Phase of the Noble Realm, to snatch first place in the Divine Ladder assessment? What a joke?

Second.

Even if he indeed was first place in the Divine Ladder assessment, it was unlikely he would choose Burning Heaven Sect, right? Despite being elders of Burning Heaven Sect, they were aware of their limitations; Burning Heaven Sect was just a Sixth Rank Power, and it would be unbelievable for the top scorer in the Divine Ladder assessment to choose them.

"Sect Leader, if you take a disciple, you take a disciple, no need to deceive us!" Zhao Wuwei was the first to question, with clear skepticism.

Xuu Zhan remained silently unresponsive.

However, Bai Zhen laughed and said, "Sect Leader, congratulations!"

Su Chen took note.

He gave Bai Zhen an extra look, this Third Elder Bai Zhen seemed quite scheming, always hiding his emotions behind a smile!

Moreover, and perhaps it was just a misperception, he felt that Bai Zhen lacked respect for his master, Huo Shouying.

"Alright, let’s stop discussing this and talk about the monthly assessment instead!" Huo Shouying didn’t want to explain any further, because he understood that no matter how much he explained, the three elders would never believe him. After all, even he himself still felt like he was dreaming. Su Chen, who came first in the Divine Human assessment and created the first miracle, that super genius had chosen the Burning Heaven Sect. It was indeed something nobody would believe if they said it out loud!"

Huo Shouying changed the subject.

The monthly assessment he referred to was the Sect assessment system of the Burning Heaven Sect.

The disciples of the Burning Heaven Sect generally cultivated freely, and in order to promote their cultivation motivation and determination, the Sect had monthly assessments.

As long as one achieved good rankings in the monthly assessments, not only would their names be spread throughout the entire Burning Heaven Sect, but there would also be substantial martial cultivation resources awarded as rewards.

And for this month’s Sect assessment, he had just happened to miss it because he went to the Divine Human City.

"The first place is naturally that girl; ever since she joined the Sect, she has never lost the first place," Xuu Zhan spoke, "As for the second..."

As Xuu Zhan was speaking, he looked toward the Third Elder, Bai Zhen, "Second place is Yang Pi! His rate of progress is extremely, extremely fast! He was sixth in the last assessment, and this time he’s second! If not for Ling Long, that monstrous girl, Yang Pi could have even taken the first place..."

While Xuu Zhan spoke, Bai Zhen stood on the side, expressionless, but the proud look in his eyes was not concealed in the slightest; Yang Pi was his disciple.

"Third place is Zhou Feng; due to Yang Pi’s unexpected rise, he has been pushed down to third!"

"Fourth is Hong Zhen!" Xuu Zhan said, and then glanced at Bai Zhen once more because, just like Yang Pi, Hong Zhen was also his disciple.

"Fifth is Lu Wu." Xuu Zhan mentioned the fifth place while still looking toward Bai Zhen, as the fifth place was also his disciple.

As for Zhao Wuwei, his face had turned even darker already.

Generally, the core disciples of the Burning Heaven Sect had the opportunity to be chosen as closed-door disciples by several elders, including Huo Shouying, who could select one or more core disciples as his own to teach personally.

However, Huo Shouying’s requirements were too high. He didn’t even take a fancy to Ling Long, that girl. When Ling Long had taken the initiative to acknowledge Huo Shouying as her master, he actually refused.

Huo Shouying said he needed a disciple with monstrously high talent!!!

The meaning behind that statement was clear: Ling Long was not monstrous enough.

In fact, Xuu Zhan, Bai Zhen, and even Zhao Wuwei all felt that Huo Shouying was a bit abnormal. If Ling Long wasn’t considered a monster, who would be? Moreover, for the Burning Heaven Sect to have a disciple like Ling Long was already the limit.

This was also why, upon learning that Huo Shouying had taken Su Chen as his disciple, Xuu Zhan and the others had given Su Chen several extra glances.

They wanted to see what was so special about Su Chen. Was he really a genius? Enough so that the Sect Master, with such dauntingly high standards, would take notice of him.

Unfortunately, no matter how much they looked, they couldn’t see anything.

Utterly ordinary.

Not to mention when compared to Ling Long, even compared to any other core disciple of the Burning Heaven Sect, he seemed to come up short.

As for Huo Shouying’s self-praising ’first place in the Divine Ladder assessment,’ they only listened and dismissed it. The three elders didn’t believe it, as there was really no reason to.

They simply thought that Huo Shouying was bragging because he couldn’t afford to lose face.

After listening to some reports from Xuu Zhan, Huo Shouying stopped talking and silently walked towards the inner parts of the Sect.

Xuu Zhan and the other two followed on either side.

Behind them followed Su Chen and the other two.

It didn’t take long.

They entered the Sect!!!

Su Chen quite liked the environment here, because the overall layout of the Sect was that of a quiet, antique atmosphere. Moreover, he noticed that most of the attic pavilions were separate and could be considered independent.

Nice environment.

Furthermore, in this vast area where the Sect was situated, the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the air seemed to be even higher than in other places.

"Inform all disciples to gather at the Martial Training Field!" After walking into the Sect, Huo Shouying suddenly spoke.
