Strongest Ruler

The First Exam

"The rules are not much different compared to last year. Only the top hundred will be accepted by the sect."

"For rank two to five will get their own reward by us, while for rank one will get the chance to cultivate inside the fire tower."

Right after the examinee finished saying, everyone started talking excitedly.

"Fire Tower? Isn't it a five-star artifact that only opens for once every three years, even the first rank of last year didn't get a reward like this." Said a young man.

"Who do you think will get first place?"

"Who? Of course the second young master of the Chen family, Chen Fan."

"No way, I heard from the Long family also produced a genius. He is 18 years old now but he is already at the sixth level of the realm of improvement." Others give opinions.

"Hmph, Nonsense, senior Liu Sa will definitely get first rank."

Just as the person finished his speech, five figures of Cultivators came out of the carriage that had just arrived.

There were two beautiful girls with skin as smooth as jade, they both came out of the same carriage. They both have very similar faces but their properties are inversely proportional.

Liu Sa and Liu Rou, they were both twin brothers who came from the Liu family of Lian Kingdom.

Liu Sa is a beautiful girl who has a friendly attitude, she also smiles quite often.

While Liu Rou was the opposite of her, her attitude was so cold, that even someone had never seen her smile.

While the other three people were Chen Fan, the second young master of the Chen Family. Long Yi, the third young master of the Long Family and the last was Qing Wei, the eldest son of the Qing family.

They were all geniuses among the many Cultivators. Currently they had reached the age of 17 and 18, but their cultivation had been at the sixth level of the realm of refinement.

But to the overseers who were an elder disciple in the sword flower sect, they did not consider the five geniuses at all.

"So, stop saying nonsense. The exam will start in. three hours from now, you can get ready in that time lag." Said the exam supervisor.

After he finished saying, the three supervisors had started to explain about the matters regarding the exam. It didn't take long, they left the examinees.

The examination of the sword flower sect was almost similar to the previous year which was by the division of the two exams.

The first was a survival test while the other was a direct combat test.

Each of the exams had their own rewards given by the sect to support the development of his disciple.

Right now, it was sitting under a tree with dense foliage. Xiao Fan spread his legs to rest.

He had to regain his strength after running non-stop for two whole days. Xiao Fan felt both of his legs numb.

Even if he could fight, Xiao Fan could not possibly bring out his full capability.

Xiao Fan knew that becoming a top ten rank would be impossible for him. But he was confident that he could gain a position within the top hundred.

When Xiao Fan used an hour to rest, he used the rest of the other time to train physically.

He warms up like he does every day, Push-ups, Sit-ups, and some other physical exercises.

Instantly, the training thatxiao Fan drew some unnecessary glances. For every Cultivator, increasing their fission was not something important.

Only a few among his many Cultivators built their foundations firmly.

A man with a friendly face

walking with a smile came over to Xiao Fan.

He was very interested because among the other examinees, only Xiao Fan was seen practicing.

He ignored the cultivation level of Xiao Fan who was only at level one. But after he looked back at the muscles in Xiao Fan's body, he swallowed his saliva while clucking in admiration.

"Friends, can we get acquainted? I'm Zhuo Lun." The friendly man smiled as he extended his hand.

Xiao Fan was a little surprised by it, due to his pretty bad clothes as well as his low cultivation, he was hesitant about making friends when it came to the entrance examination of the sword flower sect.

Even when he first came there, he got a lot of bad gazes from the examinees.

Although Xiao Fan did not know why Zhuo Lun had come to invite him to be friends, but Xiao Fan could see that Zhuo Lun had sincere intentions.

"Alright, I'm Xiao Fan.. Nice to meet you." Xiao Fan smiled.

"Friends, why are you training physically compared to your cultivation? If I look, isn't your current physique already too strong?" Zhuo Fan asked curiously.

"really that? Hahaha, this is just my daily routine. I'm used to practicing so I really like this." Xiao Fan said as he scratched his non-itchy head.

During his cultivation, Xiao Fan also realized about the existence of the golden pagoda located right next to his dantian.

Although he did not know the usefulness of the golden pagoda for now, but before long Xiao Fan was sure that he would definitely know about it.

"Friends, this is a gift from me as a gift of our friendship." Zhuo Lun gave a palm-sized spirit grass to Xiao Fan.

"Sorry friend Zhuo, but I don't have anything I can give you." Xiao Fan scratched his head smiling awkwardly when he saw Zhuo Lun giving a gift to him.

"It's okay, if you have something in the future, you can give it to me as a gift." Zhuo Lun.

"Alright friend Zhuo, thank you for the gift."

Xiao Fan accepted the spirit grass happily.

"Just relax, my friend, then I'll go first. The exam will start soon." Zhuo Lun waved his hand after it walked away.

Xiao Fan also stored the spirit grass into the ring on his finger. After Xiao Fan had worn the ring for three years, he knew that it could store objects with a maximum capacity of one hundred cubic meters.

It could only store inanimate objects, whereas for living things, it could not be stored in.

After a few minutes, the three supervisors finally came back with their dignified faces.

"Okay, three hours have passed. The first test is a survival test, while to determine the difference in rankings, you will give all of you wooden tokens."

"Any spiritual beast you manage to kill, it will automatically be counted within that wooden token."

The supervisory elder threw thousands of wooden tokens at the examinee. He gave a cue to his two comrades, after seeing the nod of the two of them, the three supervisory elders finally unified their strength to open the portal that opened the forbidden ground.

"This is the place for your first test .... Dead Forest!."
