C34 God Does Not Allow
"The mentors are here!"
Voices filled with excitement and anticipation resounded throughout the Seven Stars Square. Everyone fixed his eyes to the center of the plaza.
Shortly afterwards, over 30 mentors walked over from afar.
Behind them followed many seniors who had come to watch the show.
The atmosphere became noisy as pairs of eyes were searching for something.
"Where's Mentor Xi Lan? Has she come?"
"I didn't see her! She's not here!"
"I knew that Mentor Xi Lan would not come. I heard it was the same last year. Where's Mentor Wu Ying? Who is Mentor Wu Ying?"
"Mentor Wu Ying didn't appear either."
"Alright! Mentor Wu Ying might be getting drunk. It is said that he has always been like that."
The two most famous mentors in the entire Heavenly Star Martial Mansion did not appear. This immediately caused the previously excited Newbie Students to sigh in disappointment.
The surrounding senior students who were watching had strange smiles on their faces.
Most people had had the same goal as these Newbie Students when they first entered Heavenly Star Martial Mansion, but they would understand later on that there was something more disappointing in the future.
Very soon, over 30 mentors from the Heavenly Star Martial Mansion stood at the highest platform in the center of the plaza.
Chu Hen actually found Song Chenglie among them, and he even looked like the leader of them.
Similarly, Song Chenglie also saw Chu Hen in the crowd.
The two of them looked at each other, and Song Chenglie revealed a gentle smile.
"Oh by the way, why did you come to Heavenly Star Martial Mansion?" Mu Feng suddenly asked.
Chu Hen's gaze turned serious as he said indifferently, "No High-Class Martial Mansion in the Imperial Capital City wanted me, so I'm here."
"No way! No Martial Mansion wanted you?" Mu Feng's face was filled with disbelief.
"That's right."
"You are truly special!" Mu Feng patted Chu Hen on his shoulders, and shook his head to “comfort” him, "Brother, I didn't know that your experiences would be so tragic. Don't be sad. Handsome Feng will protect you in the future."
Chu Hen was speechless, and said snappily, "You are the real special one here. Could you please stay away from me?"
"Understood!"
Mu Feng immediately retracted the arm on Chu Hen's shoulder, and then strode back to his side.
Song Chenglie walked forward until the atmosphere was more or less settled.
"I am Song Chenglie. First of all, I sincerely welcome everyone here to join the Heavenly Star Martial Mansion!"
"Boom!"
As soon as he finished his words, the entire audience burst into applause.
"Mentor Chenglie, can you be my mentor?"
"That's right! Mentor Chenglie, I came to Heavenly Star Martial Mansion just for you."
"Hehe, everyone, please calm down!"
Song Chenglie waved his hands, and smiled apologetically, "I am truly sorry. Because of some personal reasons, I will no longer be the main mentor of any Newbie Student from this year onwards. However, I hope that everyone will trust us. Every single mentor in the Heavenly Star Martial Mansion will do his best to teach you all."
"Next, you will begin choosing your main mentors."
As soon as he finished speaking, a few extraordinary young men and women walked out from the other side of the plaza.
The leader was a young man around 18 or 19 years old. He was dressed in blue, tall and slender, and he had a cold appearance, and emitted a heroic aura.
"Wow! Senior Brother He Qingyuan, you're so handsome!" A woman's voice came from the crowd.
"Senior Brother Qingyuan is one of the students of Mentor Xi Lan. It is said that his Cultivation has already reached the Rank Nine of Essence Mastering Stage, and is only a step away from Core-Transforming Stage."
"Truly extraordinary."
Hearing the sounds of discussions around him, Chu Hen could not help but roughly size He Qingyuan up. He saw that he was wearing a golden badge in the shape of a five-pointed star.
In other words, He Qingyuan’s Star Score has already exceeded 20,000.
Chu Hen secretly nodded. There were some geniuses with outstanding talent in Heavenly Star Martial Mansion.
"Is he handsome?" Mu Feng asked with his eyes slanted.
"He is not as handsome as you!" Chu Hen replied casually.
"Haha, I like people who tell the truth. From the moment you said those words, I, Handsome Feng, have already decided that I will definitely make friends with you."
He Qingyuan and the rest walked to the front of the stage.
Song Chenglie nodded his head slightly as a signal.
"My name is He Qingyuan. Today, I will choose new disciples for Mentor Xi Lan."
What?
It was He Qingyuan who would choose new disciples?
Everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at each other expectantly.
He Qingyuan's expression was cold and his eyes swept across the people in front of him calmly, and said, "Those who want to choose Mentor Xi Lan as their main mentor, please, stand to the left side."
As soon as he finished his words, a large number of people rushed to the left side of the plaza.
They were all in a hurry, afraid that they would miss out on something if they couldn't get a spot.
"Haha, let's go over there as well!" Mu Feng said.
Chu Hen pondered for a moment, then nodded.
To be honest, after hearing what Mu Feng had said just now, and looking at everyone's behavior, Chu Hen was already somewhat curious about Mentor Xi Lan.
After a few moments, hundreds of Newbie Students were basically all standing together.
Only a few people stayed where they were and they were all girls.
On the stage, Song Chenglie and the other mentors could not help but shake their heads and smile bitterly. They had long gotten used to this kind of situation.
"I need to remind you of the fact that," He Qingyuan said indifferently, "there are only three places. In other words, only three of you will be able to become Mentor Xi Lan’s students."
"Boom!"
The crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
"Three places? What the heck is it!"
"Damn, this is bullshit. He must have picked the three strongest people here."
"There's no chance."
Many people started to curse in their hearts, but Lin Tao, the top one Newbie Student this year, had his arms folded in front of his body and there were a disdainful smile and a confident look on his face.
"Humph. A bunch of useless people. It's only a waste of time."
Faced with Lin Tao's mocking and ridicule, the surrounding people all dared not to say anything.
With Lin Tao's strength, needless to say that he would definitely be one of the three to be chosen.
"If there are no problems, then let's carry out a simple test!"
As He Qingyuan spoke, a graceful girl walked up to him and took out a box of playing pieces of Go, which were all white.
"Everyone, go ahead and take one playing piece," He Qingyuan said.
Everyone immediately started to line up. They walked up one by one, and grabbed a playing piece from the box.
Song Chenglie and the other mentors were quietly watching from the side, not showing any sign of anxiety or dissatisfaction. Even if they spent the entire day on this, no one would complain about it.
In everyone's eyes, Xi Lan was a core person who guided Heavenly Star Martial Mansion.
Very soon, everyone held a white playing piece in his or her hand.
Chu Hen was secretly surprised. This white playing piece did not seem to be an ordinary playing piece; he could faintly feel a trace of weak strength from it.
"What the hell is this guy doing?" Mu Feng grabbed the playing piece and looked at it carefully with his face full of confusion.
"Everyone has gotten his or her playing pieces, right?" He Qingyuan said indifferently, "Next, place it in your right palm."
Place it in your right palm!
Everyone did as he told.
"Hold tight with your right hand, and then start using your Strength of True Essence!"
Everyone followed his instructions and completed the next step.
When everyone circulated the Strength of True Essence for only less than five seconds, He Qingyuan fiercely bellowed, "Stop!"
Stop!
At the same time this word came out of his mouth, there was a faint cracking sound.
"All right!" He Qingyuan said.
Everyone looked at each other. Did this test end already?
He Qingyuan's eyes swept the people in front of him calmly, and said, "Those whose pieces have remained intact have failed in the test."
In the next moment, the entire audience burst into an uproar.2
Then, groups after groups of people walked dejectedly to the other side. Only in a few moments, there were only over 20 people left.
Chu Hen and Mu Feng were also among the remaining people.
Seeing this scene, Chu Hen was startled. This method of screening was truly special.
But there were still over 20 people. How could he choose from them?
He Qingyuan slightly nodded, as he calmly walked towards the over 20 people remaining.
"Open your hand!" He Qingyuan first spoke to a young man with a delicate and kind face.
The youth opened up his palm and the white playing piece was not broken, but instead cracked. The cracks were straight with regular pattern.
He Qingyuan was expressionless as he silently walked to another person at the side.
This person understood his meaning and initiatively showed the playing piece in his hand to him for inspection.
After looking over a dozen people in a row, He Qingyuan was still expressionless. Everyone could not help but feel uncertain. What kind of person was considered qualified?
"It's Lin Tao's turn."
While everyone was feeling slightly restless, He Qingyuan came to Lin Tao. As the Newbie King of Heavenly Star Martial Mansion this year, regardless of what had happened, Lin Tao would still receive a lot of attention.
Lin Tao held his head high and stuck out his chest, and his face was full of confidence and arrogance.
Lin Tao raised his right arm with his palm facing to the ground, and then he opened his hand, from which a pinch of fine white powder scattered out.
"Hiss!"
"This is?"
Seeing this scene, everyone could not help but gasp. Lin Tao had actually crushed a playing piece. What kind of power did he need to reach such a stage?
"Lin Tao is really powerful!"
"If this guy isn't chosen, then even the heavens would not tolerate it."
