The four teachers that the first teacher addressed nodded. Some of them reacted so calmly that one might’ve mistaken them for missing his words.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCironeV8Y
“Great Senior Brother, where’s Master?”
Among them, a chubby man stood up patting his belly. He was none other than the third teacher, Hui Sai Cheong.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJZIgaG5gO
The mention of his master had the first teacher smiling bitterly. “How would I know? The last time I saw our secretive and mysterious master was six months ago. But he did mention that his trial would be the same as our previous trials.”651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLEx3bazTz
“Oh…” The others immediately understood, as other than the first teacher, the rest of them joined through the trials.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fr9iuxU1b
“It’s tomorrow, and I’m so excited. It's been so long since we had an event going on,” the first teacher said with a sweet smile as he placed his hands behind his back.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlDuwZSdOu
Silver moonlight shone down brightly onto the five Cloud Palace disciples, forming an ethereal glow around them.

The day after, it was as if there was a signal as all teenage elites ended their seclusion and gathered outside the Cloud Palace outer sect. Only a few like the School of Blossoms’ Yip Luk Ching and Apex Temple’s Yuen Yau did not turn up.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSMu9b6866
More and more people gathered outside the shabby building of the Cloud Palace outer sect, and the aura emitted from the teenage elites had commoners not daring to move towards them. This was the world of cultivators, and the commoners all gathered at Black Tortoise Avenue in front of the Cloud Rank’s stone tablet as that was where the name of the selected cultivator would appear.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabChAt7xTb
It was the lifelong dream of countless cultivators to have their name go up on the Cloud Rank. Cultivators who successfully achieved this usually performed well on the other ranks too, but during every Cloud Palace enrollment, the sentence “ranked on the Cloud Rank” was a blessing for the young cultivators participating in the enrollment to be selected.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcNsQDgjI9

The Cloud Palace outer sect was filled with important figures, but influential leaders of the world were absent. One example was the white-haired elderly man with pink cheeks who gave off the vibe of a metallic tower just by standing still outside the outer sect. He was the Metallic Blood War Gate’s representative, Sze Fung. Not only was he representing the sect, but he was also sent by Lung Wai Yuet.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUomn6wgyk
Other famous cultivators like the Chor Clan Leader Chor Chun Ping, the Wong Clan Leader Wong Pak, and Old Star Reacher who had a weird temper were present too. During normal circumstances, there was almost no chance to see these cultivators in person, yet today, the venue was filled with them! If one were to bump into somebody today, there was a high chance it would be one of the famous cultivators.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt5al5hmB2
However, the spotlight wasn’t on them today.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRDD7dbYZO
The main characters of the day were the teenagers in the middle, and the eldest amongst them at most eighteen years old. They were the world’s future, and every one of them would be part of the next generation of elites after they grew.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31bMK88UFx
Of course, amongst them stood cultivators ranked on the Blue Skies Rank like Mung Si, Lam Zaa, and many more, yet there were also unfamiliar faces in the group, similarly emitting strong energliph.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tqMoyCZi6
Some of them were clan disciples in seclusion previously. One of them wore an ocean blue martial arts uniform and a clan crest of a red palm hanging from the waist, symbolising his identity as a Hung Clan member. This was Hung Zheng Chen, the best disciple of his generation in his clan. He had his arms crossed and his eyes shut lightly as he waited silently.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSfbfLk5d7
He did not join any of the Big Three or Eight Institutions nor the outer sect, and rumour had it that it was because he spent three years in the Hung Clan’s forbidden area, Heavenly Silver Waterfall, for enlightenment and to pick up the Hung Clan’s secret style. He only exited the place a few months ago.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPmUWwzRqN
There were other teenagers like him, as not every clan and organisation would send their disciples to the Big Three or Eight Institutions or the outer sect. Some of them were proud of their teachings, and the Tse Clan was amongst them.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER1pQjkHLa
The words “Tse Clan” brought the crowd’s attention towards the duo standing at the outer range.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGuLGL4YeN
The Night Lion Tse Clan. This duo seemed to be the most lowkey among all, but they were in fact the most daring clan outside of South Imperial City. With Night Lion City as the centre, a few cities in their range viewed the Tse Clan as the leader and gave them a fixed amount of resources and money, basically treating the clan like a king.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU3LRlHTHe
There were no other clans in the South that dared to behave in this manner except for them.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtkgKZh0WL
However, the clan abided by the Lam Dynasty rules well and paid the correct amount of taxes. After centuries, the Lam Clan closed one eye concerning them. It would be naive to deem the Tse Clan as a weak clan just because of their miserable influence in South Imperial City.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLHNJfZwPK
Not to mention their new generation elite, Tse Yu Bak.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF1Ggltzf4
Tse Yu Bak was an odd one who had not even broken through to the one-chambered state even at eighteen years old. However, he suddenly announced he had a year later, and when they started paying attention to him the next year, he was already a two-chambered cultivator.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3WSmkO8NS
How much potential must someone have to be able to achieve that within a year? Some people even sighed in pity, saying that if Tse Yu Bak was born a few years later, he would definitely be a hot topic of the enrollment and strong competition for the Blue Skies Rank!651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmv4knzHqN
Currently, Tse Yu Bak was with his uncle, Tse On. Tse On had no talent to cultivate, but it was proven that he was a genius seeing how he allowed the Tse Clan to continue operations in South Imperial City where their clan had always been inferior.
The duo was now speaking to a bald boy happily.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSmbkuMwSE
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8521Wrmwk6
“Hahaha, Brother Chui! You’ve improved so much after such a short period of time!” Tse Yu Bak laughed and patted Chui Yim’s shoulder. The counter-force he felt against his palm left him greatly shocked.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLtORvNoFL
It had been about a year since he met Chui Yim, and the boy back then was extremely delicate. Even though he had yet to break through the innate chamber and had an outstanding physical body, he was only slightly stronger. But now…651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXy7PPLFwy
He had ample strength and a strong body, as if having infinite strength! Even though the Tse Clan were not experts in this area, Tse Yu Bak could feel that strength-wise he was no competition for this boy, which weirded him out.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hZUaoPoBL
Of course, he was definitely not jealous or envious of this boy who changed his life after a fateful meeting. Tse Yu Bak always shuddered at the thought of what his life would be now if not for Chui Yim. Thus, he was immensely grateful for this little friend he met.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgDe5JnL6x
"Hehe, Brother Tse is too polite." Chui Yim patted Tse Yu Bak's shoulder like an old man. "I've heard about you all the way in South Imperial City. You're currently in the two-chambered state now, huh? Hahaha. Not bad, Elder Brother is proud of you."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNqjoPj9oW
Tse On's forehead pounded when he watched Chui Yim refer to himself as Elder Brother to Tse Yu Bak, who was older than him.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9TyhGt1sx
Of course, he might’ve felt better if he knew Chui Yim spoke to Chor Shing Chit without honorifics.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciP26JxXkW
Tse Yu Bak, who long knew about Chui Yim's weird habit, laughed. "Then I'll cheer for Brother and be expecting your name on the Cloud Rank."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc0Dicq8xD
"Of course." Chui Yim patted his chest.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkgijxTBY0
"Well, that won’t happen," somebody added. "Because that slot is mine."
"Get lost!" Chui Yim glared at him angrily.
