Chapter 100 - Second Test (1/2)

After obtaining one of the three special jade slips, Yuan proceeded to walk towards the gate.

However, the middle-aged man overseeing that examination suddenly approached Yuan and blocked his path.

”Congratulations on finding the first special jade slip, young man. I am Elder Long, an Outer Court Sect Elder for the Dragon Essence Temple. May I have your name?” The middle-aged man spoke to Yuan in a polite voice.

”Yuan,” he responded.

”Daoist Yuan, huh? Anyway, since you have the special jade slip, allow me to explain a few more things to you. You can obtain a special jade slip in every test, and the more you gather, the better your reward will be towards the end.

Meanwhile, a few of the sect elders watching the exam left the spectators' room and began trying to uncover Yuan's real background.

”This is the second examination?” Yuan looked around the area that resembled the wilderness.

”Congratulations on passing the first test. In order to pass the second exam, you must hunt magical beasts.”

A young woman suddenly approached Yuan and said to him.

”Hunting magical beasts? Perfect!” Yuan said.

The young woman raised her eyebrows after seeing Yuan's enthusiasm. Normally, one would not react with excitement when they're told to hunt magical beasts but nervousness instead.

The young woman then said with a frown on her face, ”Although there are Sect Elders scattered around this place to make sure there are as few incidents as possible, we cannot guarantee your safety, and there have been plenty of participants who died here.”

”I see…” Yuan nodded, yet his voice did not sound worried at all.
