The girl entered the lake and submerged her body inside the water.Only her head was outside the water.
Xu Ming silently tried to leave while the girl was busy swimming in the water, but there was no way out.
He was in the middle of the bushes and he was sure that there would be a sound if he tried to leave.
He has no choice but to wait for the girl to leave.
In the meantime, he could just sit there. He sat and with nothing else to do, he watched. He watched the girl wash her body with the water off the lake.
She even swam in the water. As she backstrokes in the water, he was somewhat able to see her b.r.e.a.s.t.s above the water.
He didn"t understand what was happening, but he felt like he wanted to sit here and watch the girl. Her every movement had a charm in them.
He didn"t know who the girl was, but he felt like she was somewhat special.
She stayed in the water for around half an hour before she started swimming towards the sh.o.r.e.
She came out of the lake. Small water droplets were still coming down her body as she wore back her clothes and left the place.
Xu Ming breathed in relief as he saw the girl leave the place, but he still didn"t come out. He waited for ten more minutes and when he was sure that the girl won"t come back, he came out of the bushes.
He again entered the lake as he resumed his cultivation.
He closed his eyes and cultivated. He was already in the 9th stage of Body Refining Realm and there was only a short distance between him and the Spirit Establishment Realm.
His cultivation plan was quite simple. Breaking through to the 10th stage of Body Refining Realm and then becoming a Spirit Establishment Realm cultivator.
Body Refining Realm only focused on the refinement of the body, so cultivators weren"t able to get their Qi out of their bodies. Thus a Body Refining Realm cultivator could only use physical skills. On the other hand, The Spirit Establishment Realm was the realm where the actual cultivation began.
A cultivator could form their Martial Soul and their Martial s.p.a.ce as they raised their cultivation further and could use a myriad of skills.
Xu Ming wanted to become a Spirit Establishment Realm cultivator because he believed that it"s when he would be able to unlock more s.p.a.ces inside his special ring.
Xu Ming cultivated the whole night long. The night was about to be over when he left the lake and got dressed.
Instead of going back to the hut, he straight away went to the cla.s.s like always and got to his work.
Xu Ming cleaned the room and waited in the back for the cla.s.s to begin, like always.
Xu Ming spent most of the day in the cla.s.s and after it was over, he left and began cultivation.
The same schedule continued for the remaining two days. Although he wanted to get a skill to learn so that he could better prepare himself, no matter what he did, he didn"t get the skill.
Although Yao had a martial skill, he didn"t share that with Xu Ming since it was a rule in the sect that sharing a cultivation skill wasn"t allowed in the sect.
It was the last day for registration and most of the people had already registered for the outer sect entrance exams.
Xu Ming had found out about the place he could register. He had also heard about the Elder who was In-Charge of the registration.
It was Elder Wu. Everyone knew that Elder Wu was blind, but his senses were sharp and his cultivation was high. No one dared to underestimate him in the outer sect.
Xu Ming got done with his duty for the day and walked towards the place of registration.
He entered the hall where the registration was going on.
Since others had already registered for the entrance exams, the place was mostly empty.
Only the elder was there. He was sitting at a table.
Xu Ming entered the hall and stopped in front of Elder Wu.
"Are you here to register, young man?" Elder Wu asked with a smile.
Xu Ming was stunned at Elder Wu"s judgment, but it was fair. Others didn"t consider Elder Wu special for no reason after all.
"Yes Elder," Xu Ming said with a smile.
" Interesting. As far as I can guess, you aren"t older than 10? Are you sure you"re an 8th stage Body Refining Realm cultivator? Strangely enough, for the first time in my life, I"m unable to judge someone"s cultivation." Elder Wu asked.
" Yes Elder." Xu Ming replied. He didn"t mention that he was a 9th stage Body Refining Realm cultivator.
"Alright. You see the room behind me? Go inside and take a partic.i.p.ation badge out. Let out absorb a drop of your blood so that it can be bound to you. Only then can you bring that badge out. Also, you can"t give that badge to anyone else since, at the time of exams, only the one recognized by the badge will be allowed to enter."
"Oh right, One more thing. There"s a barrier outside the room. Only those who have cultivation higher than 7th stage Body Refining Realm can enter." Elder Wu told the man.
" If you have a weaker cultivation, don"t try entering, or you will get shocked." Elder Wu further said as he warned Xu Ming.
"Alright." Xu Ming said as he walked towards the door.
He gazed at the barrier and stepped forward. He felt the barrier, but the barrier didn"t obstruct him in the slightest. He easily pa.s.sed through the barrier and entered the room.
He picked a badge.
He bit his finger slightly. His finger started bleeding. He made a drop off blood fall on the badge.
Xu Ming felt a link being established between him and the badge.
He left the room and walked back to Elder Wu.
