Chapter 41 Entrance Test

  After returning to the Situ Mansion, Situ Ming'an and other high-ranking family members held a banquet to celebrate Zhang Shan's return. The elderly ancestor of the Situ family, who had been in seclusion for a long time, also made an exception to attend and meet with Zhang Shan, lavishing praise on him.

  The next day, Zhang Shan discussed with his mother and moved back home again.

  Gao Peng and Lei Meng finally recovered after a period of treatment and were able to walk on their own, but they still needed to receive injections every day, so they had to stay at the Situ's house for some time.

  The Situ family handled things efficiently and bought a mansion next to the Zhang's, arranging for their best men to move in and protect Xiao Suixin and others.

  These days, Zhang Shan, apart from chatting with his mother every day, started to instruct the two maidservants in their speech and language.

  Although there are people from the Situ family taking care of him, if he has made some small progress in his cultivation, it would also be a help to his family.

  To Zhang Shan's surprise, the two girls' innate talent was quite good, which made him think of an idea. If they awakened their martial souls within two to three years, perhaps he could heavily cultivate them.

  In the blink of an eye, five days have passed and today is the day when the Sect's Spirit Vessel will arrive, as Fang Yiru said.

  Early in the morning, the Carters' carriage arrived, and Zhang Shan bid farewell to his mother and got on the carriage.

  Situ Qingwan wore a light blue long dress today, looking elegant and refined, but her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, apparently with some worries.

  Zhang Shan sat well, and the horse carriage started moving towards Wen Tian Xue Yuan.

  "Do you have something on your mind? You're not going to miss home, are you?" Zhang Shan asked curiously.

  Situ Qing let out a sigh: "Just received news that Shen Tu Sheng Dong has also been approved to join the sect."

  "What's going on here?"

  "The specific situation is unclear, I only heard that Chi Yangfeng directly gave him a quota for an outer door disciple, and it's unknown whether the Shen Tu family paid enough or for other reasons, in any case, it's not a good thing."

  Situ Qing's eyes were filled with suspicion as he explained to Zhang Shan, "If the Red Sun Peak wants to accept Shentu Shengdong as a disciple, they would have to give up two regular recruitment quotas. The cost is very high, I don't know what the Shentu family used to move them."

  Zhang Shan's face sank like water, and his originally cheerful mood was also destroyed. The two of them fell silent for a while.

  The carriage arrived at the school gate, and the two got off together and walked towards the square behind the school.

  A thirty-zhang-long building boat is parked in the center of the square, with a three-story high building on it, giving people a sense of ancient simplicity and hidden danger.

  "It's said that this Spirit Ship's formation is a forbidden technique, normally it can be used as a means of transportation, but in battle it becomes a formidable fortress." Zhang Shan thought to himself.

  After verifying the identities of the two, Zhang Shan and Situ Qingyan were led onto this spirit boat.

  On the deck, there were groups of two or three people gathered together, who should be the entry disciples selected from various academies. Qingyang City was the farthest away, so it was the last stop.

  Zhang Shan narrowed his eyes and saw Shentu Shengdong's figure in the distance on the deck.

  Shen Tu Sheng Dong also discovered them, and in a flash of his eyes, a sinister expression flashed by.

  Zhang Shan sneered inwardly, "It seems that it's going to be a fight to the death. However, I'm not afraid of you."

  Soon, Ma Qingyi and Fang Yiru were seen boarding the Lingzhou under the farewell of the host Yan Zhengying.

  Before long, a flash of white light flickered on the side of the Lingzhou boat. Zhang Shan's divine consciousness swept over and felt that the Lingzhou was covered by a transparent cover.

  The ship's body shook slightly and slowly rose into the air, the huge Qingyang City gradually shrinking until it became a small black dot.

  The Lingzhou flew through the air towards its destination, Zhang Shan looked around at the sky and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's just like sitting on a plane, except the view is much wider and the speed is even faster!"

  The gate of the Xuantian Sect is three million miles away from Qingyang City, and the spiritual boat travels ten thousand miles a day, finally arriving at its destination in three days.

  Zhangshan's spirit boat was transporting the last batch of disciples, about five hundred people.

  The divine boat landed on a square at the foot of a mountain, and there was nothing else on the square except for a three-zhang-wide stone staircase that wound its way up to a grand hall at the top of the mountain.

  In front of the stone steps is a pavilion. At this moment, an old man with his hands behind his back is standing under the pavilion, followed by a team of people wearing uniform clothes.

  Fang Yiru and Ma Qingyi brought the crowd to the old man, handed a jade slip to the old man, talked for a few words, and then returned to the Lingzhou and flew away again.

  The elder looked at the new disciples and said, "Newly recruited disciples of our sect must undergo a test when they enter the door. After the test, the masters of various peaks will come to select you."

  "In the test, if you achieve excellent results, you may become an inner disciple or even a true transmission disciple of each peak. If your results are poor, you can only start from being an outer disciple, so I hope you will bring out your strongest state for the test."

  "The test is very simple, just walk from the stone steps to the grand hall at the top of the mountain. If you can't reach the end point in the end, unfortunately, you can only become a miscellaneous disciple. Then, after one year, you will be given another chance to take the test. Those who still cannot pass will have to be sent down the mountain."

  After the old man finished speaking, someone couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, Master, what does a miscellaneous servant disciple do?"

  The old man said in a low voice, "Miscellaneous disciples, of course, are to help other formal disciples with miscellaneous tasks, such as serving tea, pouring water, sweeping the floor, making beds, and so on. There are no other benefits from the sect. If you don't want to do it, I can send you back home immediately."

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay, as they were all local prodigies who had managed to stand out from the strong contenders and secure this entry quota.

  However, I didn't expect that after arriving at Wentiangong, there would still be an entrance test, and it seems like there's a possibility of not passing.

  As a result, the originally excited and satisfied group of people began to feel uneasy.

  Zhang Shan quietly asked Si Tu Qingwan standing beside him, "Something's not right, weren't you already set to become an inner disciple of Bai Gongfeng? Why do you still need to take the test?"

  "Testing is necessary, but even if we fail this test, it won't affect our entry," replied Si Tu Qing Wan in a low voice.

  "Ah, I see," Zhang Shan said with a sigh, "so it was just going through the motions. But from what I can tell, you seem to be in a state of unease too?"

  "Although it won't affect our entry, if we don't pass, the Master's face will be completely lost..."

  "Now, all of you come here one by one to register your names, take your number plates, and then we can begin."

  "Did your master reveal any secrets beforehand?" Zhang Shan asked with a glance around.

  "Shifu only said that this road to heaven not only tests a warrior's talent and strength, but most importantly, their heart." Situ Qingwan recalled.

  "Hey, you two over there, what are you whispering about? Come and get your number plates quickly."

  A stern voice came over and the two of them looked up to see the old man glaring at them and shouting.
