“If you can’t compete with talent, you can either rely on having a miraculous encounter, or by putting in an effort.”
“Unfortunately, I have put in the effort, but I have not yet come across any miraculous event in this life.”
When the last strands of golden light in the Soul Gathering Bead disappeared, such a sentiment could not help but escape Li Fan’s lips.
Nothing unexpected happened.
More than two months passed, and though it wasn’t right to say that Li Fan had not made any progress,
It was just that his success rate in discerning had increased from a mere one in ten thousand to one in a thousand.
Still, he could not detect any difference between a normal Divine Soul and a Soul Contract Divine Soul, and his so-called discrimination was based only on blind guesses guided by intuition.
Of course, this could not meet the requirements for constructing the [Tian Xuan Soul Locking Array].
“It looks like I will have to try again next time.”
“The only thing I regret about leaving is this top-grade Universal Courtyard, where I could initiate the Enlightening State at the public expense.”
Shaking his head, Li Fan squeezed in some free practice during these final moments.
Ten days later, the monthly examination came again.
Most cultivators had exhausted all the Soul Gathering Beads in their possession, so this test was the final test to determine who would stay and who would leave.
Li Fan’s performance was steady.
His knowledge of array construction was ranked among the best,
While his ability to discern the Soul Contract remained poor.
“Only those with a success rate of over fifty percent in discerning have the chance to continue in advanced studies.”
“Those who fail to meet the standards will be expelled from the Universal Courtyard starting today.”
“And the relevant personnel will be notified.”
Ji Hongdao cast a cold glance at the young cultivators below, speaking in a chilling tone.
Upon sight of Li Fan, his eyes twitched slightly, but it was merely a fleeting moment. He could not bend the rules for this stranger.
When the news was released, nearly a hundred of the over a thousand cultivators looked pale, devastated.
Fortunately, no one was wailing or begging for another chance, thereby avoiding a disgraceful scene.
Only Li Fan looked calm and composed. Those who didn’t know might even think he had passed the test.
Ji Hongdao raised his hand, and a layer of white light enveloped those eliminated, including Li Fan.
A moment later, these over a hundred individuals found themselves in a wide, empty courtyard.
“Don’t lose heart if you’ve been eliminated. You can still return from whence you came. Continuing to contribute a bit to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is quite meaningful!” A fat, middle-aged cultivator with a tuft of goatee beard was speaking. He was quite noticeable.
The fat cultivator wore a kind smile, patting each of the eliminated young men in turn.
While patting, he explained, “It’s not that the organization doesn’t trust you, it’s just that the level of confidentiality around the [Tian Xuan Soul Locking Array] is too high.”
As he patted them, the cultivators vanished without a trace.
Li Fan’s heart pounded in alarm, under the impression that the fat cultivator was here to silence them permanently.
The opponent’s strength was unclear, but these cultivators with Gold Core strength had no chance of resisting him.
Obviously, neither would Li Fan be a match for the man.
Just as he was ready to recite his Even True mantra, he heard the fat cultivator continue saying: “Relax, we’re just sealing the part of your memory relating to the [Tian Xuan Soul Locking Array].”
“Don’t look at me with such terror. We’re in Tianyu City, the stronghold of the Immortal Alliance. Who knows how many eyes are watching? How could such a thing be possible…”
Muttering to himself, the fat cultivator quickly completed his task.
Li Fan, like the other cultivators, breathed a sigh of relief at his words.
However, he didn’t trust the words of the fat cultivator entirely, remaining watchful, prepared to recite his Even True mantra at any moment.
“Forgive me for asking, senior, but how should I address you?” Li Fan asked when it was his turn.
The fat cultivator was taken aback, his actions slowed for a moment.
“You’re interesting, kid. I have a feeling we’ll meet again someday,” he said, looking Li Fan over, “I’m Huang Fusong.”
As he spoke, he didn’t delay his task anymore.
He slapped his hand onto Li Fan.
As the light burst, Li Fan felt dizzy for a moment and found himself in another courtyard.
There seemed to be a large gate leading out of this place right in front of him.
“Everyone sign this confidentiality agreement and hand over your Universal Order. You are free to leave after that. We recommend that you don’t rush back. Since you’ve come to Tianyu Province, you should make the most of it. Go and see around. I recommend the Debating Tower to the east of the city. Cultivators from all over come and gather there – it’s quite a lively place. They also provide free Spirit Tea.” At the entrance, a cultivator as thin as a bamboo stick stood guard.
His face bore a smile even worse than a cry. Every time a cultivator approached,
He would pull out a golden Contract Scroll and hand it to them.
Only after the cultivator signed and handed over the Universal Order would he let them leave.
“Oh yes, have you heard about the wonders of the [Abyssal Icefire Lotus]? I highly recommend you all to check it out.”
While sending off the disappointed young cultivators who had completed the procedure, the thin cultivator was introducing places in Tianyu Province worth visiting.
Finally, it was Li Fan’s turn.
Following the norm, Li Fan asked, “What should I call you, senior?”
“Shangguan Shi.”
The thin cultivator simply replied, placing a dazzling golden Contract Scroll in front of Li Fan.
It seemed a bit more advanced than the common [Business Contract], yet not quite as high-level as the [God-Soul Pact] from the Five Elders Organization.
At a glance, he quickly read over the content of the Contract Scroll.
It was a one-sided contract and very strict.
Those who leaked secrets would have their Divine Soul annihilated.
Since Li Fan had no choice but to sign it, he did so without hesitation, writing his name down confidently.
