The Survivor and the System
Chapter 20: The Ceremony of Maturity!



the last five months have largely passed and it was only one month from Edward's birthday ceremony.


Inside the clean room, Edward stared at the several Scrolls of the Fighter Technique on the table and firmly nodded his head.


Five months already he had prepared himself, the various kinds of Combat Techniques he had learned over the past five months. Except for the Dragon Kick Technique, the other Combat Techniques he had mastered completely


Edward also often purified the Pill for himself and strengthened his foundation, but he had no interest in increasing his spirit level. It was because Edward had yet to obtain a high-level Spirit Method suitable for him, the Spirit Method in the system shop was also still too expensive for him to exchange for system points. So Edward would finish the maturation ceremony first as well as his birthday, then he would go to the mountains of magical beasts to collect system points.


Slowly straightening the numb body, Edward, surprisingly, did not start the exercise. Instead, he took out black clothes from his closet …


A month before the maturation ceremony, all participants in the ceremony must attend the test. This test to eliminate their spirit level is not high enough, this test is also called the maturation test. Those who had more than the Peak Stage of Body Formation got the chance to go to the Spirit Hall to obtain the Spirit Method after completing their Age Departure Ceremony. On the other hand, those who are below the Peak Stage will lose that chance and “ is thrown” to the clan property after the ceremony. Unless they showed extraordinary talent or courage, they would never get the chance to be part of the inner circle of the Collin Clan…


Right after she put on her clothes, a light knock came from the door.


"Sister Edward, are you there?."


Hearing the girl's high voice, Edward's brows soared while he quickly buttoned his clothes before hiding all the rolls and bottles he had perfected in a neglected corner. After checking everything was fine, he slowly walked to the door and opened the door.


When the door opened, warm sunlight flew towards him and Edward in black clothes looked extremely excited.


Outside the door, a young girl wearing a light and refreshing green robe with a purple cloth belt patiently waited for Edward …


Watching the girl outside his door, Edward was startled for a while before recovering and said."in the morning, I thought it was the goddess that came down but taking a closer look, it was Violet."


Hearing Edward's seductive praise, Violet's nimble eyes flickered and her small mouth curved into a smile. However, from his almost crescent-shaped brows, one could tell the happiness he felt.


With a hint of happiness in her eyes, Violet raised her delicate chin and started examining the young man before her.


After 11 months of training, Edward looked brighter, and his smooth, innocent face gave off a manly charm. After a long time of cultivating, his entire body was filled with muscles and although he was covered by a black shirt, his figure seemed rippling with energy.


Walking out of the room and closing the door, Edward finally saw a stunned Violet who did not even blink as she looked at him. Confused, Edward looked at himself and asked."Is there something wrong with me?."


Her pretty face flushed red, Violet quickly averted her eyes and smiled."Let's go Edwatd's brother. Today is the test for the Advanced Age Ceremony, are you ready?."


Narrowing his eyes, Edward shrugged his shoulders while his lips rose with stubborn pride. His hand slowly curled up as he said."Defective title, I will return it to those who gave it to me today!."


Watching the confident Edward, Violet also nodded her head."I believe in Edward's brother."


"Of course you believe me, you might have already determined my spirit level."Edward said in a seductive tone.


Edward knew, as mysteriously as Violet and any tricks this girl would use. He would never be able to see Edward's true spirit level.


Watching the smiling Edward, Violet slightly nodded her head but quickly replied."Even though Edward's brother failed the test, Violet will always support Edward's brother …"


"All right, let's go!."


Edward smiled and lovingly tapped on Violet's head, Then she quickly began to take great strides into the field of clan training.


Edward said softly."No matter who you are and how powerful the Faction behind you is, I Edward will keep you by my side."


Violet stunned.


Watching Edward look completely different, without the sadness and loneliness of the past, Violet smiled and muttered."Although Edward's brother doesn't have the same talent as the others, but Edward's brother will always occupy the highest throne in Violet's heart."


… ..


On the green training field, at least a hundred boys and girls were waiting there. Their chatter was like a low roar that spread far enough.


In the middle of the training field was a huge black monument which was a testing monument that only clans with quite a bit of strength could own due to the high price. Next to the black monument was the same Elder from 5 years ago.


On the elevated platform to the left of the training field were the more prominent members of the clan. At the center of the platform was the clan leader, John Collin, surrounded by three elders.


Inside the field, the participants to be tested all stood up. Those who performed high enough before did not show much pressure on their faces while those who did not have much talent had tense and fearful faces.


John Collin examined the people in the training field with a dark face and sighed inwardly."Edward, can you pass?."


"Clan leader, it's almost time! Why hasn't Edward come yet?."Harold furrowed his brows and asked.


John Collin glanced at him lazily and said."Not yet the time, why the rush? the first elder I knew was not one to rush."


With a rebuttal from John Collin, Harold's face was a bit ugly as he coldly retorted."Even if you give Edward Elixir the Body Strengthener to, he can't possibly get the Peak Stage in six months! You should stop hoping for some miracle."


Hearing that, John Collin's face flashed furiously. He was also worried about that and Harold hit his weak spot. But just as he was about to respond to Harold's innuendo words, a slight disturbance occurred to the examinee in the training field.


Looking towards the disturbance, John Collin saw two shadows slowly coming from the end of the road leading to the training area. Their steps were not rushed, as if they were unaffected by today's test.


Narrowing his eyes to get a better look and seeing the young smile of the black-clothed man, John Collin had no idea why but he felt much better ...
