Reincarnation of the Human Swordsman
26
Like it or not, I had to disguise myself among the participants who escaped. Surely I try not to be seen or realized by everyone who is here. In order for the plan to go smoothly, I also used my small body to sneak amongst these weak warriors.
Not long after, finally arrived an old man with a beard and long white hair. The man came flying through the air, showing that he was more powerful than all the young warriors here. However, I know for sure that this old man will definitely not be able to defeat Yue Jian and the Snot Boy.
“Paution, everything!” said the old man, making the attention of all the prospective swordsmen of the Red Land College, directed entirely to him. “I am Yi Xian, specially will guide you in carrying out your second selection to enter our college!”
“He really is elder Yi Xian?” the young warriors began to talk.
“I don't think we'll be directly guided by that elder ...”
“The aura is indeed very authoritative!”
“Great people are different.”
These people are too easily amazed. The old man was nothing more than an old man who would soon die. Though already at such an age, but still not too mastering the power of the elements. What is there to be proud of?
Ah, nevermind. I almost forgot that the standard of warriors in this day and age is indeed very low.
“Everything, listen!” The old man named Yi Xian took his attention back. “In this selection, you will climb the stairs. Surely this is not just an ordinary ladder, but a response that every time you set foot on it, you will feel the pull of gravity becomes stronger!
In addition, on each of the tenth steps there will be a gate. To pass through the gate, you must complete the challenges that are in it. Do you guys understand?”
One of the swordsmen raised his hand, asking, “How many steps do we have to pass in order to pass the test?”
“Good question.” Yi Xian stroked his beard for a moment. “In this selection there are one hundred stairs with ten archways. If you are able to reach the 7th gate, even if you do not finish it, you are considered to pass!”
“We don't need to finish it. It must be easy,” muttered a swordsman.
“I will definitely pass this selection,” muttered another swordsman.
However, a female swordsman said another, “These weak people are very ignorant of where they stand.” She looked arrogant, and if I can't remember wrongly, her name is Shi Li, the girl who lost the first fight.
I guess those who were here were only those who won in the first selection, it was not as simple as I thought. Interesting enough to look further.
“Before you all take part in the exam,” said Yi Xian. “I'll give you time to resign.”
“Resign? So far why should I retreat?!”
“Because if you die in this selection, Red Land College will not compensate you. So, everything that happens to you is your personal business,” Yi Xian asserted.
Of course the speech made some people become shaky, then leave. In other words, they resigned.
...***...
The selection of the two Red Soil Universities officially began. From what I noticed, one-third of the participants had resigned due to Yi Xian's warning. That is, the remaining participants had already decided to risk death, so they still dared to challenge this selection.
For the record, I'm not a participant. Let's just say I'm an intruder.
Then, half of the participants started climbing the stairs. They seemed to have no trouble, let alone Yue Jian and the snot brat. The two young men walked on the stairs leisurely, until they managed to reach the first gate faster than other participants.
I myself intentionally did not reach the gate immediately, having to hide among these weak warriors. They began to have difficulty climbing from the fifth step to the sixth step. Although there were exceptions for young warriors like Shi Li, Mu Lan and the others. They are the ones who performed well in the first selection.
To shorten the time, I disguised myself by being among those people. Only in this way can I enter the gate faster than before. I think it's okay to mix a little with famous people. Because I also won't be instantly famous just because of this kind of triviality, right?
Shaking my head a few times, I looked up. I didn't think I was sent to another dimension. Besides, after glancing around, I didn't see anyone else here. That means, everyone is sent to a different dimension. It is quite impressive that they still have objects as good as these in this dilapidated age.
“What is this?” I muttered as I watched the butterflies slowly fly and gather in front of me. The butterfly fused and changed its shape into a black board.
“Welcome to the first gate, participants!”
The black board spoke? It's a little creepy, but impressive! I love something unique! And by the way, the person who managed to create this tool deserves to be appreciated.
“What should I do to pass the selection?” First of all, I have to make sure what I have to finish. Perhaps this could make me guess whether Yue Jian and the snot brat would pass this selection.
“This selection is very simple!” answer black board. “You only need to answer 10 of my 20 general knowledge based questions!”
“Answer ... question, you said?!” I don't know what to react to. “Those snots will definitely be eliminated by this Archway soon!”
I've lost hope in the snot boy. I'm ninety-nine percent sure that kid will fail! The remaining one percent, the chance he got away with, was nothing more than luck!
“That stupid disciple will definitely be kicked out soon!” I became hysterical. Desperate to hear that his selection is also testing about the swordsman's knowledge.
“Tuan ...,” say black board, slow down. “Do you want to start the exam in this First Gate immediately?”
All right, it's time to pray to the goddess of fortune that she'll save the snot boy in this selection. With that, I then exhaled a long breath, returned resigned to the situation.
“Yes. Just get started,” I replied, indifferently.
The questions given by the blackboard are not difficult, only based on general knowledge. However, I strongly doubt that the snot boy who only used that muscle could answer that.
“He should be able to answer correctly at least 10 questions, right?” I can't stop worrying about the fate of that stupid student of mine.
