Chapter 51 - DeclinePingyang City, Central Plaza!
Seeing Yu Haoran who quickly adjusted his mental state, tarin, who originally wanted to console him, chose to shut his mouth.
This was because he knew very well in his heart that he could not ignore methods like the Potential Test, but he did not need to pay too much attention to them either.
After all, there was a saying in the Profound Sky Continent, "Endless Potential!"
In other words, the potential that every martial artist possessed was limitless. But, how to stimulate one"s limitless potential required a variety of requirements.
Furthermore, he had already grasped several secret methods, which were enough to allow Yu Haoran"s potential to easily reach deep blue and deep purple. Even the formless and colorless potential of the Martial G.o.d wasn"t impossible.
Of course, it was impossible for him to pa.s.s it down to Yu Haoran now. Because Yu Haoran did not need to raise his potential at the moment, and his performance had not met his requirements.
Perhaps because the potential that Yu Saiqi had displayed was just too monstrous, causing everyone to still be in shock, when faced with the potential that Yu Haoran had revealed, other than a few people who were satisfied, it seemed like the majority of the people did not care at all.
And among those people who paid attention to Yu Haoran"s potential, there were some experts from Skysword Sect who were in charge of testing the rogue cultivators.
When the light red glow on Yu Haoran"s body completely disappeared, the expert from Skysword Sect walked forward a few steps, arrived in front of Yu Haoran, and asked while laughing: "Little brother, I seem to remember you as Yu Haoran right?"
"Reporting to senior, junior is indeed called Yu Haoran!" Faced with the friendly att.i.tude of the experts of Skysword Sect, Yu Haoran quickly replied.
Skysword Sect was ranked sixth out of the fifteen first-rate sects. It was a sect that was good at using the sword.
Yu Haoran was fairly familiar with the Skysword Sect.
In his previous life, he had interacted with disciples of the Skysword Sect quite a few times, and he had even s.n.a.t.c.hed a set of high-grade Earth Rank sword techniques from the core disciples of the Skysword Sect.
Of course, the reason that Skysword Sect had left such a deep impression was not because of their grudges and grudges, but because of the appearance of three geniuses at the Hidden Dragon Rank among the disciples that Skysword Sect had recruited this time.
What did he mean by "a hidden dragon level genius"?
However, as his cultivation rose, his talent and potential also began to continuously rise, just like a demon-level talent.
In the future, relying on the help of these three abnormal geniuses who were at the Hidden Dragon Rank, Skysword Sect would leap from the middle rank of a first-rate sect to a first-rate sect in a single leap. Even when he had just entered the Demon G.o.d"s Tomb, the Skysword Sect had already started charging towards the top sects.
"Yu Haoran, although my Skysword Sect is not ranked as well as those seven top sects in the Profound Sky Continent, the resources our Skysword Sect possesses definitely do not lose to those seven top sects" training of disciples."
First, it indicated the att.i.tude of the Skysword Sect towards his disciples, and then, the experts of the Skysword Sect invited him with sincerity.
"Yu Haoran, you have just revealed the potential of being an early stage Martial Saint. In the future, it is not impossible for you to become an elite disciple of my Skysword Sect, or even become a core disciple.
"This …!" Faced with the initiative of the Skysword Sect Ranker inviting him, Yu Haoran showed a pondering expression.
In fact, he was considering how he could reasonably refuse her invitation without arousing her displeasure.
After all, his true intention in partic.i.p.ating in the sect selection was to return to his previous life. He wanted to become a disciple of a master who treated him like his own father, so how could he choose to join another sect?
Even if the sect was a top seven sect, he would not be tempted by it even if the sect gave him the treatment of a core disciple!
Furthermore, even without all these considerations, he would not be able to join the Skysword Sect.
This was because in the sect selection this time, the Skysword Sect had recruited three Hidden Dragon Rank evildoers disciples. After their cultivation broke through Wu Zong realm, they began to reveal their terrifying cultivation talent and potential, which also led to a change in the direction in which the entire Skysword Sect trained their disciples.
According to what he had gathered from the elite disciples and core disciples of the Skysword Sect in his previous life, in the entire Skysword Sect, aside from the cultivation resources that were required by the upper echelons, the remaining cultivation resources were almost all of the sixth floor, and were all used on these three Hidden Dragon Rank disciples.
And the result of doing this, although it allowed the three Hidden Dragon Rank disciples to grow quickly and cause the influence of the entire Skysword Sect to soar, the other disciples, because they lacked the support of cultivation resources, finally dropped to the level of ordinary second-rate sect disciples.
This was also why he was able to kill the elite disciples of Skysword Sect in one on one with the cultivation level of the Martial King back then, under the condition that he did not use any underhanded methods and did not fight one on one.
Therefore, he was unwilling, and could not join the Skysword Sect!
"Senior, to be able to become the Skysword Sect"s disciple, even if it"s the most ordinary service disciple, this junior will feel honored, but …!"
As he spoke till here, Yu Haoran raised his head and took a glance at the southern side of the stage in the central plaza. A youth with an ordinary appearance and ordinary temperament spoke, his tone filled with apology.
"Senior, my father had a good personal relationship with an elder of a certain sect, and before he died, he specifically told this junior that if my performance in the sect"s selection was good enough, I would try my best to join that sect, so this junior can be filial as the son of an old friend!"
Although the words just now were a lie, there was one thing that was true, and that was that he had returned to the Hundred Feet Gate with the intention of taking care of his master and doing his utmost to avoid the tragedy that had occurred in his previous life.
"What a pity!" Faced with Yu Haoran"s rejection, the expert from Skysword Sect shook his head and sighed.
However, he did not continue to persuade her, or increase the temptation of the chips.
Because in his opinion, although Yu Haoran"s potential was not bad, it was far from reaching the level of Skysword Sect.
Seeing that the experts from the Skysword Sect were not angry, nor did they have the intention to continue inviting them, Yu Haoran could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
After that, he walked in front of Yu Saiqi, gave her a silent look, and waited patiently for the test to end.
Although there were a lot of rogue cultivators on the west side, there were very few partic.i.p.ants who could take the test alone like Yu Haoran and Yu Saiqi. Basically, only ten people in a group would be able to take the test at the same time.
After three hours, all the loose cultivators who had partic.i.p.ated in the west side of the square had finished their tests. In the end, only twenty-three partic.i.p.ants had pa.s.sed the test and were able to enter the next round of the sect selection compet.i.tion.
"Xiao Ran, the requirements for the sect"s selection are so high!" Watching nearly nine people on the ninth floor being eliminated, and getting scolded and backed out of the plaza by the experts of the Skysword Sect, Yu Saiqi could not help but exclaim in shock.
"Sis, the reason why the elimination round is so high, other than the sects not wanting to waste their resources on these ordinary people, is actually for their own good!"
