When Du Shaomu's group appeared at Dreamy Cloud City, from far away, there were immediately quite a few guards respectfully welcoming them.
"Childe Du, this way, please."
The middle-aged man leading the group was someone from Zhuge Family. A few days ago, he had attended Du Family's great wedding and his status in Zhuge Family was not low.
The people from Zhuge Family had long been waiting in the direction the North Cloud City had come from, so it was likely that even Childe Du would come today.
Seeing that they were people of Zhuge Family, Du Shaomu did not stand on ceremony. At the city gate that couldn't be passed through, people with Zhuge Family began to make their way through. There was no need to queue up to directly enter.
On the other hand, the people from the Bai Family were secretly astounded. So Childe Du's face in the Dreamy Cloud City was actually this big, to actually have someone from the Wu Steel Manor's Zhuge Family personally come to greet him at the city gate. This was not an ordinary face.
"Childe Du, the Heavenly Martial Sect's disciple exam is divided into two rounds. The first round is in the morning and my Zhuge Family will assist the Heavenly Martial Sect's assessment, so everyone can directly go and take the test." The leading Zhuge Family middle-aged man respectfully said to Du Shaomu.
Along the way to North Cloud City, Du Shaomu had also learned from Lee Ling'er about the examination and conditions for selecting disciples.
The Heavenly Martial Sect examination was divided into two rounds.
The first round was to check the age of the bones and cultivation.
If one's Heavenly Martial Sect was able to recruit young disciples, they could only choose those under eighteen years old. If one's age exceeded eighteen, then one would have already completely missed the best age to build the foundation. Even if one's talent was very good, it would still be greatly reduced.
Trees had a wheel, and people had bones. The age of a tree could easily determine the age of a tree.
To the martial cultivator, many experts had cultivated for hundreds of years, but they still looked young. There were even some who looked like they had aged back to their youth as the cultivation grew taller.
Therefore, if one were to judge the age of a martial cultivator based on their appearance, they would find them a little unreliable.
However, there were many ways to detect the age of a martial cultivator, such as detecting the Blood Essence s in its body, sensing the blood aura on its body, etc.
But the simplest thing was to check the age of the bones.
Even the highest level of cultivation, the countless experts that had cut through the bone and cleansed the marrow, could determine the true age from the age of the bones.
In the first round of testing, other than the age of the bones, one had to test the cultivation.
Generally speaking, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, if one could reach the Martial Master Stage and step into the true martial cultivator, then one would be able to pass the first round of examination.
But if he was already seventeen or eighteen years old, and had only just stepped into the first level of Martial Master Stage, then he would not be qualified.
As for the second round of the examination, it was personally handled by the strong practitioners of the Heavenly Martial Sect, as well as one's own talent. It was also much more complicated than the first round of the examination.
With the convenience of Zhuge Family, Lee Ling'er, Ye Chen, and more than a dozen young disciples of Bai Family directly went to pass the examination first.
"Sixteen years old, fourth level of the Martial Spiritual Stage!"
Lee Ling'er's detection had shocked a few of the Heavenly Martial Sect's outer sect disciples, and had also alarmed the Heavenly Martial Sect's deacon s who were in charge of detection.
A sixteen year old at the fourth level of the Martial Spiritual Stage, was definitely a genius.
However, everyone was only shocked. It wasn't to the point of being terrifying.
Simply speaking, a sixteen year old at the fourth level of Martial Spiritual Stage, was a genius.
But this kind of genius wasn't at the level of a heaven warping talent.
Within the Heavenly Martial Sect, there were quite a few sixteen years old at the fourth level of Martial Spiritual Stage.
But this kind of situation had already caused the outer sect disciples of the Heavenly Martial Sect and the deacon s to treat him differently.
As expected, a sixteen year old at the fourth level of Martial Spiritual Stage would have a 90% chance of becoming an inner sect disciple.
"That's Lee Ling'er!"
"I didn't expect Lee Ling'er to be so talented!"
Amongst the crowd, many youngsters who were waiting to be tested recognized Lee Ling'er. Looking at the results of her tests, they couldn't help but feel envious.
Seeing that Lee Ling'er was already at the fourth stage of Martial Spiritual Stage, Ye Mingchao, Yun Zhenhai, and Ye Chen were all quite surprised.
But thinking about it, Yun Zhenhai and the others weren't surprised at all. Du Shaomu could easily help them break through, not to mention Lee Ling'er was the Young Madam right now.
On the other hand, Du Shaomu, who was looking at the bustling Dreamy Cloud City, sighed with emotion as he saw the young people waiting to be tested everywhere.
These young people were all full of vigor and vitality, and all of them had the passion and will to enter Heavenly Martial Sect to cultivate.
Although he had been through two lifetimes and was a man through three lifetimes, Du Shaomu was still a young man in blood.
No matter how calm Du Shaomu was or how calm he was, when he saw these young people full of vigor, he couldn't help but think about what had happened back then.
In his previous life, in order to become strong, he had been very persistent. He was filled with fighting spirit and passion, and even after repeatedly training, he hadn't backed down. He was the same as many other young people in front of him.
A moment later, the results of Bai Family and his men also came out.
Out of the dozen or so youths in the Bai Family, only one had managed to pass the first round of examination.
From this, it could be seen that becoming a disciple of the Heavenly Martial Sect was definitely not a simple task.
Ye Chen's test was the last, but it went smoothly.
A sixteen year old Martial Spiritual Stage was enough to pass the test.
"The second round of the exam will be in the afternoon. Childe Du can go to the Wu Steel Manor to rest first. The Mayor has instructed that Childe Du must also be invited to the mansion."
The middle-aged man from Zhuge Family politely invited Du Shaomu, but in his heart, he was quite curious. It was said that this Childe Du had extraordinary talent, but didn't have any intention of testing him.
"Many thanks City Lord for me. I still need to go to Heaven and Earth Pavilion. If I have time, I'll go to Cloud King Manor."
Du Shaomu refused Zhuge Family's good intentions and still had to go to the Earth Pavilion. I probably won't have the time to go to the Wu Steel Manor.
Now that Ye Mingchao and Yun Zhenhai had reached Dreamy Cloud City, there would definitely be disciples from the Ye Family and Yun Family that would come today, so they had to meet up with the disciples from the He Clan.
The people from the Bai Family were also free to move around. They tactfully did not follow Du Shaomu, being able to directly enter the city to inspect after being exposed to the light, they were already extremely grateful.
Pill King Fu Guangtinng had disappeared as soon as he entered the city. No one knew where he went.
"I'll accompany you to the underground pavilion first, then you can accompany me to meet my parents."
Lee Ling'er said to Du Shaomu. Today, Heavenly Martial Sect s came to pick disciples, so naturally there would be quite a few people who came.
"Alright." Du Shaomu nodded without any objections. It was fine for him to bring Lee Ling'er to the Earth Pavilion.
With Lee Ling'er by her side, especially since she was still childish, she was filled with curiosity about many things along the way. She walked and stopped here and there. It was hard not to attract attention.
Along the way, Du Shaomu received a lot of envious looks.
Some of them had red eyes and were full of hostility towards Du Shaomu.
Du Shaomu smiled bitterly. He could only accompany Lee Ling'er as they walked around.
"Senior brother Shang, look. What a beautiful woman."1
On the street, several well-dressed young men with extraordinary bearing were staring at the woman in red. Her every move was like a silent bewitching charm, attracting their gazes and causing them to be unable to shift their gaze away.
