The Destiny of the Sinner

29. First Stage

Blue Jade City.

The day that the Sect disciples selection event had arrived. The Blue Jade City especially the Colosseum Arena had been crowded with people. Not only the participants, but others enlivened the atmosphere there.

The thousands of participants who have signed up are very diverse, any group can follow. But only 50 people would be accepted to become disciples of the Fire Flower Sect.

No one dared to protest with the policies the Sect had made. Everyone already knew who the Sect Leader was as well as his prowess.

All the participants had entered the Arena that was inside the Colosseum. The arena itself is very spacious, surrounded by a very strong transparent barrier wall. So any attack would have no impact on the spectators.

There was one person who was standing casually in the middle of that crowd of participants. He was Qin Tian.

Next to Qin Tian was Wu Zhu who had now proclaimed himself Qin Tian's brother, even though it was only in his heart.

As the crowd was whispering, there was one device flying into the arena, the tool itself was a large sword and above it were two middle-aged men.

The two of them were the Fire Flower Sect Leader and the First Elder. Qin Jian and Ming An.

"All the participants who have been present here, I welcome you. Perhaps everyone already knows the stages to become a disciple of the Fire Flower Sect, but I will pronounce them once again, as there are very few changes to be made to the rules in the second stage," ming An said loudly which made the crowd speechless.

"Your first stage should withstand the aura of pressure that the Fire Flower Sect Leader, Qin Jian, will be releasing. At this stage his rules remained the same, that is, it should not use any kind of artifact to withstand the aura of pressure. And there will only be 200 participants who are entitled to advance to the next stage..."

"... The next stage I will explain again after the first stage is completed."

"Alright, the first stage is about to begin. Immediately prepare yourself," he said again, then the Fire Flower Sect Leader immediately let out his aura of pressure gradually.

This stage Qin Jian had set was indeed very effective to see the persistence of the prospective new disciples of the Fire Flower Sect. Hence he would not hesitate to let out an aura of pressure all the way to the peak of the Saint realm just to see if this prospective new disciple was truly determined to become a disciple of the Fire Flower Sect or just to be a prankster in the Sect.

"Hey look, who is wearing a red suit, he is a genius of the Nan clan, Nan Rou I'm sure he must have succeeded at this first stage" said one of the spectators.

"You see that girl over there, she can definitely become a Sect disciple, I'm sure of that" said her friend, pointing to one of the participants, Princess Ming Mei, grandson of Emperor Ming Dao.

"Even Emperor Ming's grandson must follow the rules to become a disciple in this Sect" he continued.

"If he fails, he will never be able to become a disciple, even though his Father is an Emperor."

"Yes, you're right. This sect has never included the families of people who are even very powerful, such as Emperor Ming Dao," said another.

"We'll see later, whether Nan Rou and Princess Ming Mei can become disciples in the Fire Flower Sect,"

The two of them were geniuses among the geniuses that existed in this Middle Continent, so none of them were ignorant of the identities of the two geniuses.

Half an hour had passed, nearly half of the participants had fallen to the ground with blood coming out of their mouths and pores. The pressure is increasing every second.

Two hours have passed again, now only three hundred people are still standing, even with conditions that can be considered not good. The legs began to tremble, coughing up blood continuously repeatedly sounded, there were even those who could no longer hear the surroundings anymore. But the pressure is increasing.

Then after only two hundred people were left, the pressure began to dissipate.

With just one look, Qin Jian of course knew who the young man was, yet he did not know his name yet.

He refrained from passing Qin Tian now, as he had also set the rules. That anyone who wanted to enter his Sect, they had to undergo a test first, even though the one who wanted to enter was his own descendant.

Qin Jian dissolved into his daydream, so many questions he would ask Qin Tian, that he did not focus anymore on the second stage of this disciple selection event.

Until his reverie was forced to stop because of Ming An's voice.

"Congratulations to the participants who have succeeded in this first stage. You will be given an hour of rest. And that has failed, you will get a Black-level healing pill so that the wounds you suffer can recover within seven days," said Ming An.

The failed participants could only curse themselves for being so weak.

As for who succeeded, they also obtained black-level healing pills, but the ones they obtained were of better quality than the ones that failed.

They also immediately consumed the pill as well as recovering the spiritual energy that was almost depleted.

...• • • • •...

The participants who succeeded in the first stage can not be underestimated, because those who register here are young people who have not even turned twenty years old. With the lowest realm being at the Heavenly Road realm and the highest at the 9-star Heavenly King realm.

Only two people who exceeded all of them were participants, and one of them was even stronger than the Fire Flower Sect Leader. He was Qin Tian and Wu Zhu.

Wu Zhu had reached the 3-star Heavenly Emperor realm thanks to the direction Qin Tian had given over the past three weeks.

Audience seats.

The crowd cheered with joy because of the success of the participants who passed the first stage.

Some are also disappointed because their families or relatives failed in this first stage. But there was no intention from them to leave the Colosseum Arena.

After an hour, a flying sword carrying two people then appeared above the Arena.

Keep in mind if only a cultivator who was in the Saint realm could fly freely in the air, the Half Saint could, but it was too draining of a lot of energy just to fly in the air.

"Thank you for waiting. The second stage is the fight. The participants who have succeeded in the first stage must choose their own partner to face the other partner. And every four pairs will face each other to get one pair of winners. You will be given half an hour to choose your own partner."

The participants looked very busy to be the pair of the strongest among them. But Qin Tian remained silent with Wu Zhu who was next to him from the beginning.
