As soon as the door opened, Luo Qianye said imdiately, "I am Luo Qianye, the Sect Leader of Chiba Sect. How should I address you?"
At the sa ti, he cast his gaze inside the room.
Trying to find the owner of that powerful aura.
Wen Ping responded, "I am Wen Ping, the Sect Leader of Immortal Sect. I wonder what brings Sect Leader Luo to knock on my door so late?"
After failing to find the source of the aura, Luo Qianye retracted his gaze and smiled, "I originally wanted to get acquainted and ask if Sect Leader Wen would be interested in joining my Chiba Sect. But now it seems there’s no need to ask; even if I did, it would be redundant. It’s quite impressive that Sect Leader Wen has beco a sect leader at such a young age."
He understood why Wen Ping didn’t know the reason for the Ten Talents Trial.
Considering what had just happened, the Profound Realm cultivator was dealt with in the blink of an eye. There was only one possibility: this Immortal Sect is a newly established sect, yet to be promoted to a star level, and might not even have joined the Hundred Sects Alliance. Even if there is a secret treasure for killing Profound Realm beings, if they’re not part of the Hundred Sects Alliance, they might be situated in a remote area with closed-off information, making it possible to not know about the Ten Talents Trial.
Imdiately, Luo Qianye asked, "Does Sect Leader Wen have any plans for tomorrow?"
Wen Ping responded, "Tomorrow? I’m not sure if I have anything planned yet."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qianye was delighted, "Then why not accompany ? This selection competition will have at least thirty thousand participants; it should be quite lively."
Over thirty thousand!
Upon hearing this number, Wen Ping was secretly astonished.
"Alright, let’s go together then."
With soone familiar to guide him, he was naturally pleased.
...
After midnight, Yun Liao and Yang Lele finally returned.
When Yang Lele went upstairs and saw soone repairing the railing, he was montarily stunned, then asked, "Did sothing happen here?"
"Sorry, we’re fixing it up shortly," the carpenter nding the railing quickly explained.
Yun Liao stood at Wen Ping’s room door, looking at the wooden railing, and guessed the situation.
It must have been soone discontented with Immortal Sect being a Starless Sect yet residing in a VIP room, so they tried to claim it, only to be swatted away with a single slap.
Yun Liao briefly mourned for the person who was slapped, then knocked on Wen Ping’s door.
"Sect Leader, we’ve returned."
Wen Ping replied, "Let’s talk in the morning."
Yun Liao nodded and directly went to his room.
Early the next morning, the three gathered on the first floor of Biyue Pavilion, Yang Lele eagerly started, "Sect Leader, do you know? Over thirty-five thousand people have signed up for this trial. Nearly ten thousand participants under 35 have reached the 13th stage realm; wow, ten thousand at the 13th stage, it’s unimaginable."
"Sect Leader, he ntioned this in transit last night, this is his seventh ti," Yun Liao couldn’t help but tease from the side.
Wen Ping chuckled, then asked, "Tell more about it."
Upon hearing Wen Ping’s interest, Yang Lele felt like he found a listener and quickly said, "The Ten Talents Trial is divided into two categories: those under 15 and the 13th stage realm. They aim to select 10 prodigious talents under 15, and the top 10 in the 13th stage realm. It’s said that becoming one of the Ten Talents allows you to beco a core disciple of a Three-star Sect and apprentice under a master beyond the Profound Realm."
Wen Ping muttered to himself, "Apprentice under a master surpassing the Profound Realm."
He had to admit, this reward was indeed quite enticing.
If one can beco one of the Ten Talents, leaving East Lake would be inevitable.
Just as Wen Ping intended to inquire about the trial content, the shop assistant rushed over with a look of shock and panic.
"Three Elders, why are you seated here?"
"Can’t we sit here?" Wen Ping asked.
The shop assistant imdiately replied with a forced smile, "I didn’t an that, it’s just this spot doesn’t suit the esteed identities of you three. Please, let guide you to the private suite."
Wen Ping didn’t get up, saying, "No need, we’ll eat here; it’s lively."
"Elder, you’re joking, right? Yesterday, when Wanyan Hong showed up, you struck him out. Now, if our boss finds out I let you dine here, won’t he scold ?"
As the shop assistant’s words fell, the surrounding people glanced over.
They were aware of last night’s events and knew that the guests in VIP room number 12 were formidable, but they hadn’t seen them.
Now, hearing the shop assistant’s words, they began observing Wen Ping.
Seeing Wen Ping, they marveled at how soone so young could break Wanyan Hong’s arm, suggesting it’s unlikely he’s from a Starless Sect.
Seeing Wen Ping still unwilling to rise, the shop assistant continued, "Three Elders, please don’t make things difficult for , how can you dine here with such a stature?"
But at that mont, a cold laugh ca from the staircase, followed by an even colder statent, "If you don’t eat here, where would you eat? Soon, you might not even find a place to sit and eat."
Upon hearing this, everyone imdiately turned their heads.
A man dressed in a black robe descended slowly, followed by seven or eight handso young n, none of them ordinary in deanor.
Soone imdiately recognized him.
"The Sect Leader of the Two-star Black Rock Sect, Black Demon."
Following these words, the diners on the first floor began whispering among each other.
If soone from a One-star Sect said this, they’d call him foolish; after all, a Profound Realm figure had one of his hands cut off, who would dare approach now? But the speaker was a Two-star Sect Leader.
This changed the significance entirely.
Already at the staircase, Black Demon glanced at Wen Ping without pausing and continued outwards, speaking while walking, "Wanyan Hong is from the Barbarian Division. In the North of East Lake, it holds top-tier status among the Barbarians, leaning on the Extre Realm Mountain as its patron. Although you can exhibit strength and prove your qualification for the VIP room, you foolishly severed Wanyan Hong’s hand instead. When the Barbarian Division cos seeking, forget sitting to eat, returning alive would be miraculous."
"Why speak so provocatively?"
Yang Lele was sowhat dissatisfied and stood up.
But this provoked Black Demon’s cold laugh, "Kid, sit back down if you don’t want to die."
Following his words.
Luo Qianye’s voice ca from the third floor.
"Black Demon, intimidating a child as a sect leader, impressive indeed!"
Black Demon imdiately turned back, slightly frowning, and said, "Sect Leader Luo, this matter seems unrelated to you?"
Luo Qianye imdiately retorted coldly, "I am an old friend of Sect Leader Wen; you think it’s unrelated?"
Upon hearing this, Black Demon glanced at Wen Ping.
He didn’t expect Wen Ping to know Luo Qianye, nor did he expect Luo Qianye to stand up for him.
He knew the strength of Chiba Sect, not quite Giant Level, but formidable nonetheless. That this young man warranted Luo Qianye’s defense, no wonder he dared to sever Wanyan Hong’s hand.
Seeing Luo Qianye’s cold gaze directed at him, Black Demon had no choice but to salute and say, "Forgive , Sect Leader Luo, I’m leaving now."
"Get lost!"
Luo Qianye shouted angrily.
Black Demon had no words, unable to express anger and reluctantly left Biyue Pavilion.
Before Wen Ping could speak, Luo Qianye called out to him, "Sect Leader Wen, sorry for the wait! I’ll change clothes and be right down."
"Alright."
Wen Ping replied.
He gestured to dismiss the shop assistant and asked Yang Lele, "When does the trial begin?"
Yang Lele replied, "Today at noon. We go to a trial ground outside the city; they didn’t specify the assessnt, just that half will be eliminated."
"Elder Yun, what about you?"
Yun Liao responded, "Also ntioned going outside the city, but no specifics about the assessnt."
Hearing this, Wen Ping smiled.
The Ten Talents Trial was truly secretive, not even divulging the content of the assessnt.
Imdiately, Wen Ping advised the two, "Rember, just ensure your advancent."
The two nodded in succession.
