Chapter 263: Parade: Part 3

The man brought them out of the school towards a bread van waiting outside the school.

He simply walked ahead and pulled the door open. On the opposite side of the door, was a domed fortress with twin towers. There was also a hundred-meter white field that ran from the door to the fortress.

The three went in in sequence as the door shut behind them.

“I don’t know why both of you had chosen the Soul Fortress, the main lecturer here is Mr. Auldmandiller. He is indeed powerful, but he is not someone easy to deal with. Here are your documents.”

The man pulled out two scrolls of documents from his pocket and passed one each to Lin Sheng and Mylissa.

“Sign them, using the basic dark power method. Just leave a mark by the signature column there will do. The most basic usage of dark powers is fine.”

Lin Sheng read through the document as he received it, and a green light appeared on his finger as he tapped on it.

The document suddenly disintegrated and dispersed into light particles.

Mylissa, on the other hand, also signed the document as she clenched her teeth.

Seeing so, the man nodded as he brought them through the fields without a word, and soon they arrived at the vast garden before the fortress.

“You’ve arrived. I’m relieved from my duties now,” the man said. “But just a reminder, be very, very careful. The experiments can kill.”

He then sent the two to a lavish yet ancient hall before leaving that reminder and left.

Lin Sheng and Mylissa looked at each other, and not having any idea on what to do, they simply just sat on the sofa.

Time soon passed slowly as the two waited on the sofa. Yet there was no sound, no movement from within the fortress.

The sunlight’s arc moved from diagonal to vertical and back to diagonal.

The hall’s main door was wide open and aside from some black metallic furniture, there was nothing else there.

And soon, the sky started to turn dark as a figure slowly walked out of the door.

Lin Sheng and Mylissa quickly got up and looked at the door.

An old man, with silver hair, hooked nose and emerald eyes in a black robe was slowly making his way with a stick in hand.

The old man’s gaze shifted a little the moment he saw Mylissa and Lin Sheng.

“Let’s assess your aptitude using the high-grade crystal. I don’t want to waste my time on rubbish.”

Both Mylissa and Lin Sheng had chills going down their spine as his gaze swept past them. It felt as if a sharp, cold blade had just run through their skin, and goosebumps started rising all over them.

Lin Sheng tensed up, as he knew the latter’s capabilities belies his frame, and that triggered that natural reaction.

If his main body was graded based on the present tiering, he would only be a Three-winger, just inches away from being an Oppressor class.

And for him to go into full alert with just a gaze, that person must have been at least a Four-winged Oppressor class.

Carte Blanche sure was something. Lin Sheng brimmed with excitement.

Mylissa beside him suppressed her unease as she stepped forward to ask.

“Are you Professor Auldmandiller of the Soul Fortress?”

The old man did not answer and did not even look at Mylissa as he slowly walked into the hall and sat down on a silver rocking chair in the hall.

He seemed to be very tired as he constantly massaged his temple. His eyes were bloodshot.

“Give them the assessment,” he said as he lay down.

*Hiss…*

Suddenly, two pieces of pure white cards with silver trimmings appeared before Mylissa and Lin Sheng.

The two quickly took the card, and just as they touched it, a powerful force suddenly radiated from the card and started drawing the dark powers from their body into it.

*Hummm…*

And soon, the two faint lights lit up one after another.

Mylissa was proud as she puffed up her little face and pumped dark powers into the card.

Lin Sheng, on the other hand, simply just held the card as he curiously looked at the jumping markings. The markings leaped about and soon formed a clear number.

“I’m done!” Mylissa said loudly as the number on the card stopped. She let out a proud expression and held the card high.

Auldmandiller simply just looked over and saw the number on Mylissa’s card.

“Thirty-two,” he read the number out, and his face was impassive.

“I’m only eighteen!” Mylissa interjected loudly as she tried to maintain her gaze on Auldmandiller.

“How about you, where’s your card?” Auldmandiller did not even bother with her as he shifted his gaze to Lin Sheng.

Mylissa was displeased and she held the card even higher. She clenched her teeth as she looked at Lin Sheng. As a fellow top tier student of the same caliber as here, even as good as Lin Sheng is, she did not think that the latter could surpass her!

One needed to know, she had already awakened her dark powers back at home, and the moment she got there, she trained hard as she drew the power of her soul into part of the dark powers.

To be able to get at least thirty and above on the card, even among all of the new enrollees of Carte Blanche, she would be at the top end.

For that number, she had spent millions worth of Migan dollars on the resources, and this preparation only allowed success and no failure!

She clenched her teeth hard, and her face turned red.

If she fails here, she dare not imagine what sort of problems she’ll run into in this academy.

The enemies that bitch made would not let her go so easily!

“I must…succeed!” I will succeed! Mylissa held her fist tightly.

If the person beside her scored much lower, that meant the chances of the old man taking her in was higher!

With that hope in mind, she looked to the side at Lin Sheng’s card.

There was a clear number five on Lin Sheng’s card, and the glowing silver light suddenly expanded in her eyes and allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.

“I’m sorry, I’m wondering if there is something wrong with this card.” Lin Sheng held the card with a confused look.

“Impossible!” Mylissa quickly replied. “The margin of error of a high-grade assessment crystal is lower than a calculator. So your numbers must be right. If you are saying that it is too low, the problem then lies with yourself!”

Her eyes gleamed with confidence.

“Is that so?”

Lin Sheng slowly let go of the card in his hand.

“It’s not that I’m saying that it is too low, I was thinking, was it a little too high…” He smiled. Behind his finger, right after the five, two zeroes appeared.

*Whoooosh!*

Auldmandiller shot out of the chair as his eyes glowed in disbelief. His form flickered and turned into a series of after-images before appearing before Lin Sheng and held the card.

“Marvelous! Just marvelous!!” His expression had changed from shock to disbelief to joy and to acceptance in just mere seconds.

“What’s your name!?” He held Lin Sheng by the arm, and even a fool could see that there was something wrong with this warmth.

“Professor, I’m Lin Sheng, from Xylond,” Lin Sheng replied respectfully.

“Marvelous! Marvelous! Hehehehe!!” The old man inspected the card again and again as he closely observed the change in Lin Sheng’s aura. And soon, he pulled out a crescent moon-shape rock and approached Lin Sheng.

A gentle white glow appeared on the rock, and that made him even more excited than before.

“Marvelous! Lin Sheng right? I’m so glad that you had chosen the Soul Fortress as the path for awakening your dark powers. Don’t worry, from today onwards, you are one of the only two disciples of Auldmandiller!”

“Thank you, sir.” Lin Sheng smiled respectfully.

He had simply just infused the card with one-tenth of his faint dark powers, and never thought that could attract such a reaction from the old man.

“Don’t worry, you still need to go through another assessment, and if you pass that, aside from a few private areas within the Soul Fortress, you are free to come and go anywhere else!”

The smile and warmth on the old man’s face almost made Lin Sheng doubt that it was faked.

And Mylissa simply looked on at Lin Sheng’s card in a stupor, her face pale.

She had not expected such an outcome.

She had thought she was well-prepared… that her aptitude was outstanding among the rest.

“Also, you can go home.” Auldmandiller waved Mylissa off.

Mylissa indeed had a decent aptitude, but he had seen all too many people with such caliber here, and even if there was someone better than her, he did not care at all. Not at this critical juncture.

The blood drained from Mylissa’s face altogether.
