9 THRONES

CHAPTER 8: THE TEST

Vann walked towards the city center where the teleportation circle was located, fortunately the place where Vann lived was not far from the city center at most he only needed to walk for half an hour.

In the middle of the road, Vann passes by the house of his father's acquaintance uncle again who is near the school.

At first Vann did not think he would meet his father's acquaintance, after all it is still very early so most people are still not active.

But when he was near the uncle's house, Vann was a little speechless because he found that his father's acquaintance was taking care of the flowers in front of his house. Vann knew that this acquaintance of his father was very happy to take care of flowers, but why did you do it so early in the morning?.

It seems that his father's acquaintance also found Vann so he waved his hand "Son Vann, what do you do early in the morning like this? I heard your school is on holiday now".

Vann smiled amiably though he was a little sweaty for fear that this uncle would report his departure to his father "Uncle, I have something to do this morning, so I just happen to be able to meet uncle here".

"Something you have to do?" said the acquaintance of his father, staring intently at Vann, a smile immediately appeared on his face as if he understood Vann's purpose "It turns out that way, you don't have to worry, you don't worry, I'm not gonna tell your dad. Your dad and I haven't seen each other very often lately, especially since he's been busy playing games all day. All right, don't you have to go? If you don't leave now, you're probably late".

Vann knew that this acquaintance of his father already knew about the purpose of Vann's departure, but decided to hide this as well.

"Thank you, uncle" said Vann who slightly bowed then walked away towards the location of the teleportation circle.

Seeing Vann leaving, his father's acquaintance smiled again as he continued to water the flowers "The boy looked very excited and thought that he had managed to leave unbeknownst to his father, but he never thought that his father was much more cunning. I don't know, is that kid going to give up being a cultivator after knowing the truth about him?".

...----------------...

Vann did not know what his father's acquaintances were saying when he was gone, now Vann was already in front of a large circle image on the ground.

The image of this circle shone with a white light, and then there were a lot of writings that Vann did not understand throughout this circle.

This circle formed on the ground in front of Vann was nothing but a circle of teleportation formations formed by cultivators.

As long as one stood in this circle, then a teleportation formation was activated. The person standing on top of this circle would immediately be sent towards a predetermined location, even being able to directly teleport between countries without any problems.

Not only is Vann here, but there are many other young people to adults who come.

"Vann, who thought you'd come here? I never knew that you were interested in becoming a cultivator, did you keep it a secret from everyone in the class?", a male voice sounded from behind Vann.

Vann turned around to find a man with short black hair as well as a studious-looking face.

Seeing this man, Vann immediately found out because this man was the head of his class, Toregas.

As the smartest student in the school, he even got the top 5 every year in terms of grades throughout the school, therefore he was chosen to be the class president.

As Vann was puzzled as to why this studious fellow had suddenly come to the cultivator's test site, he recalled that Toregas seemed to have said in class about his ideals of becoming a cultivator. But his master did not agree, at least Toregas could try when he was an adult that was 17 years old.

"It turns out that class president, I have nothing to hide but rather that I was only interested in becoming a cultivator yesterday, so I decided to try the test today" Vann said with a friendly smile.

Toregas waved his hand "This isn't school, you don't need to call me class president. If you are planning to go to the cultivator test, why don't we go together? Anyway, we have the same goal today".

Vann nodded "If Toregas can explain more about this test, I don't mind".

"Give it to me!" said Toregas.

Currently Vann and Toregas are waiting for their turn to wear a teleportation circle.

This teleportation circle has a limit that can only carry 10 people every time teleportation, he said, today was a massive test of cultivators that made countless people plan to wear this teleportation circle so Vann and Toregas would have to wait.

While waiting, Toregas explained that "Tests of cultivators are not at all difficult, the organizers are just holding a crystal ball the size of a head, we just need to put our hands on the crystal ball. When our hands touch it, the crystal ball will show the talent and spirit we have. Talent is divided from the value of 1 to 100, the requirement of being a cultivator is to have a talent value of at least 30 points, while spirit is definitely in accordance with the talent we have so that it does not become an important requirement".

"A talent score of 1 point is the talent of normal people, most people in the world that is about 80% only have talent of 1 point".

Vann nodded, fortunately Toregas was here. Without an explanation from Toregas, Vann would not know anything about this test.

"Next!", shouted the person guarding the teleportation circle.

Vann and Toregas walked towards the teleportation circle with 8 other people, then a shout came back "Enable!".

The teleportation circle under their feet immediately shone brightly, Vann felt his entire head swirling around to the point of feeling himself about to vomit.

When Vann regained consciousness again, he discovered that they had already arrived at the stone field with around millions of people gathered here, most likely all of them were also planning to take the test.

Van restrained himself from vomiting due to the teleportation just now, but the 9 people who went with Vann vomited without hesitation because they could not endure the headache from the teleportation just now.

At first Vann thought the organizers guarding the teleportation circle would be angry, after all they vomited in the test area.

But it turns out that what Vann thinks is wrong, the surrounding organizers only look at them for a while before becoming unconcerned.

It seems that everyone who is new to the teleportation circle must vomit first, therefore the organizers do not look angry or worried.

"When you're done vomiting, you can walk towards the line in front of you. Although there are 100 tables that are the test location so you can choose only 1 table, but this time participants there are about a million people who make you have to wait before you can do the test. If you can't wait, you can get out of here" the guard said.

Vann and everyone bowed respectfully to the guards, after which they looked for a test table that had the least rows of people so that they would not have to wait too long to do the test.
