In the building holding the prospective students of the Ocean Dragon Martial School, which previously only contained Chin Hong, and not long after that, Han Sie's group appeared from Yang In City, but the number of Han Sie's group was reduced by half, there were only seven teenagers who passed. consisting of three teenage girls and four teenage boys, including Han Sie, Cui Meng and Tang Lie who are talented children from Yang In City.
These seven teenage boys, looked very pale but there was a smile on their lips, as a sign of satisfaction that they could pass this test well,
"Let's rest and restore our energy, don't be lulled by momentary success, there are still other struggles," said Han Sie to his group members.
"Sister Han Sie, we thought we were the first group to successfully pass this test, but look in the corner of the room, there is a woman who is cultivating," Tang Lie said to Han Sie.
Han Sie and the others fixed their eyes on the corner of the room indicated by Tang Lie, and they were surprised that their group was in fact not the first to pass the second stage of the test.
"Thus, we must know that even though we were educated directly by the head of the Han clan, namely Ancestor Han Wo, a God King cultivator, it turns out that not only that to be considered the best, ability and talent are not enough to be the best, just look at teenage girls who we don't know, we have to compete with someone like that," said Han Sie, reminding his friends because he had always realized that his group looked down on other parties too much.
"We understand, sister Han Sie, we all must always improve our abilities to limits beyond our own abilities so that one day we become the best and strongest and not be ashamed as citizens of the same city as the heroes from Yang In City," Cui Meng replied with fiery eyes.
Next, participants appeared who were declared to have passed the second round of exams, including Wang Lin Sie who approached Chin Hong,
"Sister Chin Hong, it turns out you are already here, I almost got lost in the Illusion Manipulation room, luckily I remembered the instructions that Brother Cun Ek had given me," said Wang Lin Sie.
"What you encountered in that room, was it the same as the experience I faced?" asked Chin Hong.
Wang Lin Sie then told his experience, which turned out to be different from what Chin Hong experienced, where he was placed in a very dark forest and fought with a number of mystical beasts whose number he couldn't remember until finally he was exhausted, when he surrendered and wanted to give up he then cross-legged to cultivate to calm himself down while a group of fierce mystical beasts were preparing to attack him, he was determined to face death with open eyes, but a voice was heard saying that he had escaped, and Wang Lin Sie was able to join Chin Hong.
Chin Hong frowned, he had his own conclusion that this exam turned out to be a test of each participant's mental strength as a cultivator, that strength was not only built on ability alone, a cultivator needed ingenuity like him who persuaded the wild man, and strong determination with courage to face death before your eyes.
A total of approximately one thousand participants were declared to have passed and were given a day's rest in that room to cultivate and continue in the third test round which they would face the following day.
“Where is Brother Cun Ek? Is he not taking this second exam?” Wang Lin Sie asked his friend Chin Hong.
"For him, this exam is like taking a walk in the backyard, but I also wonder why he doesn't appear with us in this room? Is he not taking this second exam?” Chin Hong said.
"Excuse me, can we get to know you two? I come from Yang In City," said a voice which turned out to be Han Sie who came over to Wang Lin Sie and Chin Hong with his group.
Chin Hong, who was the same age as Han Sie, looked at Han Sie's group, he glanced at Wang Lin Sie then said,
"I'm Chin Hong from the Eng Hian Continent and my friend Wang Lin Sie from the Khui Ning Continent, nice to know you all," answered Chin Hong flatly.
“Oh, are you guys from the same city as the heroes of this world, cultivators Han Long and Han Eng?” Wang Lin Sie asked.
Han Sie who heard Wang Lin Sie's question smiled broadly and answered,
"That's right, I'm even in the same clan as those heroes, my name is Han Sie," he answered proudly.
"Even those of us who are not from the Han clan were trained and educated by the Head of the Han Clan, Ancestor Han Wo and his wife Ancestor An Ling, they were both close friends and friends of Ancestor Han Long and his wife, Ancestor Han Eng," said Cui Meng, who agreed. by other group members who are with them.
"It's truly an honor to know all of you," said Wang Lin Sie smiling.
Han Sie's group chatted with Chin Hong and Wang Lin Sie, while elsewhere, the God King cultivators with their soul perception were still watching the participants who had successfully passed this second round of the test.
Phang Cui Lin and her husband Yap Kun Tek, continued to pay attention to the interaction between Wang Lin Sie and Chin Hong, there was a frown on Phang Cui Lin's forehead, because she did not see Cun Ek in the room.
"Where is the child?", she said as if muttering to herself, Phang Cui Lin looked at her husband Yap Kun Tek, and her husband responded,
"It's possible he was just accompanying the two teenage girls' friends," answered Yap Kun Tek.
"I have to be wary of that child, even though the ancestor Thian Sian Li guaranteed that the child would not act up in this place, his mother was known to be very cruel and evil," said Phang Cui Lin.
"No matter what, that child is still a descendant of the Han clan," said Han Wo next to An Ling.
"But for the safety of this event, don't let us be careless, because the child's mother's ambition once put the Chong Yang Continent in a completely chaotic situation," said Yap Ing who also commented next to An Wu Hong.
“Mother, who is meant by mother?” An Wu Song asked his mother Yap Ing.
Yap Ing turned to his son,
"Mother once knew a woman who ended up being hostile, the woman you were referring to was called Mo Eng, she had equal power to mother, and now her son is around the Dragon Ocean Sect," answered Yap Ing to his son, An Wu Song.
"Oooohhhh...", the three year old boy responded as if he understood, An Wu Hong smiled gently at his son's behavior.
Meanwhile, at that time, Cun Ek, who was still standing in the school yard, seemed to be exerting his mental perception with full strength. He hoped to see the condition his two friends were experiencing, and he breathed a sigh of relief after finding out that his two female friends had entered a quite rest building. large and standing majestically in the Ocean Dragon Martial School complex.
Cun Ek stepped towards the main gate intending to leave the Samudra Naga Martial Arts school complex, to meet Aliong, his adopted brother.
"What are you doing!? Why did you turn around?" asked a booming voice from the direction of the Main Gate.
Cun Ek saw a row of Ocean Dragon Martial School disciples neatly lined up at the main gate, Cun Ek saw that there were twelve of these youths and their average cultivation level was 1st Human King level.
"I want to go out to meet my brother," answered Cun Ek.
“Are you too weak or too cowardly to face the second test?” said one of the young men.
Cun Ek glanced at the person who said earlier,
"I'm just taking my friends and making sure they can pass the next exam," said Cun Ek calmly and innocently.
One of the young men who looked like the leader of the group stepped forward to block Cun Ek's steps, his body was tall so that Cun Ek's body was only as tall as the young man's neck.
“Do you think of this exam as just a game? "You must turn around and complete the second test, because no one walks out without completing the next test, there is only one conclusion to this event, fail the test or continue with the next test, no one is allowed to leave this test without trying," said the young man.
"If I don't want to try and want to leave, what will happen to me?" asked Cun Ek calmly.
"Then we have to arrest you, because we suspect that you are just an intruder who wants to disrupt the reception for prospective students at this respectable school," answered the young man.
“Is it this serious? "Then, try catching me," said Cun Ek, smiling faintly.
“Hm, you're the one who said that, Heeeeyyaaaaaa…..!!!” said the young man then he mustered up a little of his energy, he thought this teenage boy should be taught a little lesson, for underestimating the strength of the Ocean Dragon Martial School.
Cun Ek easily avoided the young man's attack by slightly changing the position of his feet, and the young man's lunge caught the wind next to Cun Ek's body, and Cun Ek slapped the young man's right shoulder lightly, so what the young man felt was as if he had been hit by a rock the size of a mountain. hit the right side of his body, causing him to slam and roll around.
The other group members simultaneously surrounded Cun Ek from all directions, they were surprised that this teenage boy was able to dodge attacks from their senior brothers so easily, it could even be seen that this boy did not exert the slightest strength.
"I remind you all, I just want to get out of this environment, if you force me then you will risk getting hurt," said Cun Ek calmly looking at his besiegers one by one.
“Guys don't let him get away, teach that brat a harsh lesson!” Exclaimed the young man who had been rolling around who attacked first.
Heyaaa Heyaaa Heyaaa Heyaaa Doum… Doum… Doum…
Various screams resounded loudly around the gate area followed by the eruption of cultivation energy from the Ocean Dragon Martial School disciples who surrounded Cun Ek's standing position, while calmly Cun Ek did not release his cultivation energy, instead he had a faint smile on his face, looking at Cun Ek's position. Ek, who was surrounded by a line of young men guarding the gate, could see how small Cun Ek's body was compared to his besiegers.
So the attack occurred which seemed unbalanced, but next, every body that lunged or pounced on Cun Ek, many fell with their faces rubbing against the hard surface of the ground or bounced a distance of about ten meters.
Cun Ek still limited his energy, so as not to leave serious injuries to these students, because this matter was too trivial to worry about, he basically didn't want to make enemies or make more enemies.
“Guys, catch the intruder!!!” said the young man who was the leader of the Main Gate guard team who shouted at the other teams.
So the courtyard of the school was filled with students from all over who saw that there was a commotion in the place. Previously, the area was filled with prospective students who wanted to take the second stage of the exam, but now it was filled with original students from the Ocean Dragon Martial School from almost everywhere. Disciple status, be it Outer Disciple, Inner Disciple, some even have Core Disciple status, where these disciples are taught directly by the Supreme Elders of the Ocean Dragon Sect.
Cun Ek frowned, he didn't expect that this problem would develop so big, at first he only gave the group of attackers a light lesson and let him leave this area and meet Aliong.
“Make way for the Headmaster!” A very loud shout was heard, then the group of Cun Ek's besiegers parted to make way for a middle-aged man and behind this middle-aged man were two slightly older men.
Wang Shen stepped out together with the elders of the Ocean Dragon Martial School.
“Respect to Principal!” Said someone who was a senior disciple.
Cun Ek remained silent without reacting, he calmly watched the arrival of Wang Shen and the two elders of the Ocean Dragon Martial School.
“What happened that all the students showed up?” Wang Shen asked.
"Report the Principal, this child intends to leave the second stage of the exam, we are trying to detain him because we are afraid he will just infiltrate and disrupt our place," answered the young man who had been the leader of the siege on Cun Ek, his face looked bruised and a little blood came out of his lips.
“Oh I see, is that true? What is your reason for not wanting to continue with this second stage of the exam?” Wang Shen asked Cun Ek.
"From the start, I was not interested in becoming a student at this school, I only accompanied my two friends who wanted to take this exam," answered Cun Ek.
"Arrogant, you think you can take the exam for prospective students lightly, so you do whatever you want," said Kim Teng, who was the Elder of the Outer Disciples accompanying Wang Shen, he himself was a cultivator at the 4th Human King level.
“Brat, are you really not at all interested in our Ocean Dragon Martial School, why did you take the first exam and pass through the Main Gate? because this is an insult to all of us”, said the other Elder, Wang Shen's companion, a 5th Peak Human King level cultivator.
"I apologize if I offended the elders, especially you, Headmaster, however, I didn't mean to do that, I just want to return to my brother who is outside the main gate, what should I do to resolve this problem? "Frankly, if I have to replace it with a number of gold coins, I don't have it," answered Cun Ek in a humble manner. If Cun Ek wanted to rely on the strength of his cultivation energy, he could very easily overcome this problem, but the problem would only get bigger, he remembered that his brother and grandmother Sian would get involved, this was what he didn't want.
“You must complete the second stage of the exam, and complete all the exams,” Principal Wang Shen answered.
"Sorry Principal, I don't mean to demean the institution of this school, but I have to say that I am not interested in being a student at this school, and I have to go meet my brother who is still waiting for me outside this gate," answered Cun Ek lightly.
"What's your name kid? And what's your friend's name?” Wang Shen asked.
"I'm Cun Ek, my friend's name is Aliong," answered Cun Ek, frowning, he was confused as to why the principal even asked his name and Aliong? But he said nothing.
"You! Bring in a boy who is waiting outside the gate," Wang Shen ordered the young man who was leading the siege on Cun Ek, and the young man left, intending to bring in Aliong.
A young man's voice could be heard shouting from inside the gate,
"The boy named Aliong is welcome to come in," shouted the young man.
Meanwhile Aliong who was outside the gate did not immediately respond, he was currently in the midst of thousands of prospective students who failed the exams in the 1st and 2nd stages, the young man's scream became the center of attention for all prospective students who failed,
"I'm Aliong!"
"Not him, I'm Aliong!"
“I'm Aliong, who are you? I am the Aliong that senior brother meant."
The call for a boy named Aliong caused a stir in itself, thousands of children claimed to be named Aliong, almost all of them hoped that the name would be declared successful in passing the exam, especially as there were no specific specifications about the boy in question.
Wang Shen, who heard the commotion, could only shake his head, as did everyone who was still behind the main gate in the courtyard area of the Ocean Dragon Martial School.
"You idiot, you can't even do such a simple task, write down the name of that young man, brother Deacon Kim," Wang Shen ordered with a flushed face.
"Cun Ek boy, is there any particular characteristic of your brother's appearance?" Wang Shen asked Cun Ek.
"What is the Principal's purpose in calling my brother, once again I emphasize that I have to get out of this place?" said Cun Ek, starting to get angry, he felt that the person in front of him wanted to use his brother's weakness to pressure him.
"Calm down you kid, I'm just being nice, I intend to elevate you and your brother to core students at this school without that exam, and you'll immediately become my student, how about that?" Wang Shen said with a wise smile.
Hearing this statement, all the students were shocked, this boy was actually going to be immediately appointed Core Disciple by their Headmaster, this was a very high and very luxurious gift.
It's just that for Cun Ek, this action was too ridiculous, from earlier through his soul perception, he already knew that the Principal's cultivation level was only at the 8th Peak Human King level, compared to him, even though he was still very young, he was already reaching the Advanced 4th Human God level which was extremely far above the man in front of him.
"I am very grateful for your offer, Principal, but I am not interested, especially my brother, he doesn't like studying the power of cultivation," answered Cun Ek.
"Arrogant, you are a very arrogant kid, the Principal means well but you don't appreciate it at all," exclaimed Deacon Kim Teng.
Not only the elders accompanying Principal Wang Shen, all the students of various statuses gawked at Cun Ek's refusal and immediately turned angry, because this was a blatant insult from a boy around 10 or 11 years old.
