Bu Ten couldn't help but be curious about Mo Xie with just a few exchanges between them. As a sky shattering ranked cultivator, to be able to talk calmly to a person that's halfway through to Divine Origin rank, it's already commendable.
Out of the ten 1st ranked inner court disciples of his sect, none would definitely be able to do so.
A few moments later, they arrived in a much wider space, Mo Xie couldn't help but applaud at the people gathered here.
There are 29 elders at the peak stage of Celestial Phenomenon rank, ten disciples at the peak stage of Immortal Paragon rank.
"They must be the new talents of the sect that has the chance to become elders?" Mo Xie asked.
Bu Ten smiled: "Well, since they are the only young ones, surely you can guess that much."
"But of course." Mo Xie answered jokingly.
Bu Ten led the group: "Everyone."
"Sect Master!" All of the elders cupped their fists respectfully while the disciples bowed as they greeted.
"Un!" Bu Ten nodded his head and waved his hand before continuing to speak: "There's been an addition to our event today."
"Addition?" An elder asked.
They then saw Mo Xie entering with two beautiful ladies.
One of the disciples couldn't help but chuckle: "Senior sister, looks like you have competition now."
"I don't compete in such boring things, I only pursue the path of cultivation." But she couldn't help but look at Mo Xie's face, but for a while, she ignored it: "I am interested in nothing else."
"Ayay, haaa, boring."
Meanwhile, six of the seven men actually excited to see Shang Ting and Tanya.
"There is an additional person joining the exam today." He looked at Mo Xie and then spoke: "There is a chance that he'll be joining you after all."
Bu Ten made his way to his seat, he looked at Mo Xie: "You should go with them."
Mo Xie nodded his head: "Alright."
As he sat down, he smiled at the eleven of them: "Then, we will start."
"The first examination will be as usual, to properly handle your own arts, you need to have proper control over your spiritual energy and your soul sea."
"I would like you all to create a mass of spiritual energy as your first test."
All eleven of them did as they were told, immediately, a mass of white glowing light the size of a cart's wheel appeared in front of all of them.
"Next step, you'll need to show how much you can control it."
"Contract it is as small as a gold coin or smaller and then, you'll pass the first examination."
Immediately, all of them did it, compressing their spiritual energy ball to as small as they can.
"Yutian pass." Immediately, a person got called out.
"Oh, great, as expected of the number one disciple of this generation, he had compressed his spiritual energy the fastest and at the size of only half a gold coin." An elder remarked.
Ty Yutian, the top disciple of the Imperial Sky Sect, the number one amongst the inner court disciple of the sect.
The examination to become an elder is held once every ten years, and only five disciples or less than that usually passes to become an elder.
Inner court disciples are all real disciples of the sect, unlike the outer court disciples which are composed of the Sect's disciples and outsiders. The inner court disciples are those that graduated from the outer court.
For outsiders, as soon as they graduate, that's it, unless they pledge their loyalty to the sect, they can never enter the inner court.
As Inner court disciples, they can only fail two times, for the 3rd time, they will be sent as an outer court elder, worst case is they get demoted to 2nd ranked inner court disciple.
Ty Yutian is the number one disciple of the 1st rank inner court disciples, he's a genius that had been nurtured by the sect together with the other nine.
"Xin Ya pass!"
"Wu Zeqing pass!"
"Ha Qiqi pass!"
"Zhang Zhou pass!"
All the top five passed, the other three passed, but for the 9th and 10th, they couldn't make it.
"Hmmm?" Just when they finished calling out, they forgot about Mo Xie who was at the far corner.
"This..." The first elder couldn't help but frown: "Is that..."
"Uhm..." The second elder couldn't help but be speechless as well.
Since they couldn't make sense of him, they all looked at Bu Ten: "Sect Master..."
But to their awe, Bu Ten is smiling: "Ha, to think that his control is actually better than mine."
Seeing Mo Xie's results, Bu Ten couldn't help but feel interested.
The first elder couldn't help but be shocked: "What do you mean by that?"
Bu Ten smirked: "Exactly as I said, he's better than me in terms of controlling his spiritual energy."
"To the point that you won't see how little he had compressed it."
"But..." Bu Ten smiled, he looked at Mo Xie: "If you close your eyes, then, you can definitely feel it instead."
Hearing him, all of the elders closed their eyes, and immediately scanned their surrounding, then, they saw it, Mo Xie's extremely compact spiritual energy, even ten times larger than, sharper, and harder than their own disciples.
All of them opened their eyes: "This is..."
All the elders couldn't even finish a single sentence since they've witnessed Mo Xie, it's extremely shocking.
"Even Sect Master can't compress his own spiritual energy like this." 3rd elder spoke grimly.
"A prodigy!" The first elder spoke.
"A genius?"
All of them looked at Bu Ten: "Sect Master, this junio- friend is?"
Bu Ten sighed: "He's a friend recommended by that old Tu."
Hearing this, everyone felt that half of their questions were answered immediately, they looked at Mo Xie: "So... you're a friend of that old monster?
"As expected, any persons related to that old bones are monsters as well."
Mo Xie shook his head: "You might've misunderstood."
"I'm not a friend of the Tu Clan, I am an esteemed elder of the Ouyang Clan."
Hearing this, all of them couldn't help but be confused. You could've stayed silent, getting the backing of a monstrous Tu Clan, but instead...
The current Ouyang Clan is no different than a normal mid-grade clan. Their status is also degrading as is. The current Ouyang Clan isn't even at the tenth of their strength.
Their situation is so dire that nomore people are visiting them.
If it wasn't for their loyalty, they would've long been gone!
The elders and disciples all immediately had one thought in their mind: 'This kid is crazy!'
But Bu Ten has a different opinion: 'Is he... doing this for a reason?'
'If he became a guest elder of both the Imperial Sky Sect and the Ouyang Clan, then, the latter's status will also be affected... but that's not all of it, Ouyang Clan may also receive some benefits.'
But after thinking up to this, he shook his head; 'Maybe I'm thinking too much.'
"Great, the nine of you had passed and will be going to the second exam."
"As for the two that had failed, it's okay, you've just joined the the inner court disciple two years ago, I couldn't be more satisfied with your results."
"Unlike your senior brothers and sisters, you two are still new, hence, I know that you'll be able to succeed next time." Bu Ten spoke as he smiled at them.
The two disciples felt a huge burden wash out of their mind as they nodded and cupped their fist together respectfully: "Yes, we will not let the Sect down!"
Bu Ten nodded his head: "Next, we'll go to the second round of the exam."
He then glanced at Mo Xie: "I do hope that your lack of preparation won't be an excusefor failing."
Mo Xie smirked: "Of course not, I never came up of an excuse. Never had, never will."
