Is That A Wisp? Chapter 154
Advertisement
Lofa was at the very end between those who passed the Exam. In the end, the Sect took in the first 3500 contestants. Considering that the total number was a little over 300k, the Sect had admitted in a little more than 1%. That goes totally according to the majority of the past tests where the accepted number is usually between 1 and 2%. When Lofa looked at the list, she found her name in the 3415th position, which was very close to the end.
But she wasn't the least bit unhappy, if anything, she wanted to jump in joy at the moment. But unfortunately, Krune wasn't here to commemorate with her. The Sect Master took him somewhere, and no one knows where they went.
As for the elders' disciple selection, just as expected, no one of them selected her. But she wasn't disappointed by that fact either. Just the fact that she would be able to join the Divine Path Sect was already a glory that no one believed to be possible in Makui Planet.
---
Shinja was still selected, though. Her Master turned out to be someone from the Inner Sect, a Divine View Realm Blue Luan! Her Master just so happens to be a Divine Demon Beast! Her Master was just as beautiful as Shinja herself in her human form, which for some reason that no one knows, turned out to be the reason why she selected Shinja.
"The way you controlled your skills during the test was very beautiful for someone in your realm, and I love beautiful things. Shinja Avril, will accept me as your Master?"
Although Shinja thought that reason to be somewhat sloppy, it doesn't change the fact that a Blue Luan is an innate master of the water element. Shinja believes that this Blue Luan, as an Inner Sect Elder, has a lot to offer to her and her control over the water element.
"Paying respects to Master."

Yusa and Tasier were in the same boat as Lofa. Even though they had better positions, they still didn't catch the attention of any of the elders. Of course, neither was sad with that. First of all, the chances were low to start with. As long as they are in the Divine Path Sect, everything else doesn't matter. Inner Sect? Outer Sect? Either one is more than good enough!
Ula and Mirrer were the other two Tribulation Lightning users, and each of them was accepted by an elder. As expected, both their Masters were also able to use Tribulation Lightning. Ula was brought away by a Triple-Horned Thunder Lion Demon Beast. While Mirrer left with another human cultivator. Of course, Ula made sure to take Ao's communicator number before departing.
As the masters were selecting their disciples, the number of elders remaining decreased. Once an elder selected someone, they would immediately leave. Things like registering in the Sect or whatever could be done by the menial disciples anyway. The only exceptions were Tiago, Gile, and Jin, who were taking care of the Exam this time.

Finally, there was Joty. He didn't have any big expectations to start with, but suddenly, an elder also called his name.
"Joty Marcat!"
The moment this elder's voice appeared, all the other elders shut up. It was an old man with a big mustache and short hair. Although he didn't look like the beggar Sect Master, he had quite a sloppy appearance.
This man was one of the 3 Legacy Elders that appeared this time around, Amilio Tirac!
Joty thought he was hearing things, but still, he went to the stage just in case. It turns out that the elder was really looking for him!
Amilio then got close to him and grabbed his chin, then he looked deeply into Joty's eyes. Suddenly, the elder's pupils started to change! What before was a single pupil, became two, from two it went the three, and finally, four pupils appeared in his irises.
Joty looked at that and had a fright! But just as he was about to try to free himself, his head started to hurt, especially his own eyes. He wanted to close his them, but the Amilio's Spiritual Energy was gathered on both of them, and it was impeding him from closing.
Joty wasn't able to see it himself, but he could still feel it. Suddenly, his own pupils in each eye divided into two! Still, a second later, they came back to normal. Amilio then released Joty, who was still feeling a little dizzy with the experience.
Amilio looked at that and then started to laugh out loud.
"Hahahahahaha! Finally! Finally, someone appeared! I have been waiting for over 70 thousand years! But it's finally here!"
The other two Legacy Elders then approached Amilio.
"Haha! Amilio, I thought it weird for you out of all of us to come here, but it seems like someone can finally inherit your mantle."
The other elder complimented as well.
"Now, you won't have that stiff face every time we talk about our disciples anymore. Isn't that good?"
Amilio then looked at them and said.
"Hmph! You just so wait! Now that this old man has found an inheritor, I want to see if you can still keep those smug faces when he trashes your disciples later on!"
The other two elder heard that and sighed, this crazy guy has always had a competitive spirit. But because he had never found a disciple with the same special bloodline as him, he had never had the chance to talk when the other Legacy Elders spoke about their disciples' accomplishments.
"Then I will wait to see what you can bring out of this kid, but don't forget that I'm taking that Fire Dragon that learned how to use Blue Flames by himself."
The elder's name was Hiro, a Draconic Salamander! Although he has the Draconic in his name, he isn't exactly a dragon. But he still shares a lot of their traits. Not to mention that he is a Semi-Divine Beast. In fact, if he had used the Sect's resources and refined the dragon bloodline in his blood, he could have evolved into a real dragon. But he refused! He fought as a Draconic Salamander for most of his life. Changing into a real dragon now would add little to his strength and bring a lot of problems instead, so he stayed as a Draconic Salamander.

Hiro then looked at Gomat's direction.
"Gomat!"
A second later, Gomat appeared on the stage. In fact, Hiro came from the same Planet as him, so it was already more or less decided that Gomat would be going into Hiro's care.
"Master!"
Hiro nodded, turned around, and said to Amilio.
"The winner isn't decided yet. Hahaha!"
He then brought Gomat away after that.
Amilio didn't give a damn, though. He looked at Joty and asked.
"How long are you going to take to pay your respects?"
Joty, who was still lost at everything that was happening in front of him, was taken aback once more. Isn't this Amilio a Legacy Elder? What was all that talk of finally found someone with the same bloodline? It must have something to do with the weird things that happened during the Exam, isn't it? Still, Joty knew that that was his chance! Joty then immediately said.
"Paying respects to Master."
Amilio nodded, satisfied. He then enveloped Joty with his Spiritual Energy and left straight away. On the way, Amilio commented with Joty.
"I noticed your presence the day before the test, but there was too little time, so all I could do was to help you release a tiny bit of your bloodline's power. That was for the sake of you passing the Exam so that no one would complain if I took you in without taking the test. But from now on, a harshly training schedule awaits for you. Are you ready?"
Joty immediately answered.
"I'm ready!"
Still, he was confused.
"But Master, what exactly is my bloodline power? Also, does it mean that my entire family has it?"
Amilio shook his head.
"They don't, this is not something that is passed through genetics. In fact, it looks a lot like the Major Cores, you never know where it can appear, nor the conditions necessary. You probably noticed already after everything you heard back there. Yes, our bloodline power is even rarer than the Nine Major Cores, and we only lose to the Tenth One, the Heavenly Major Core."
He then looked at Joty with a severe face.
"As for what the power of our bloodline is, you will come to understand later."
Joty and Amilio then disappeared in the distance.
---
The last Legacy elder saw that the other two already left and looked at Colen's direction.
"Colen, let's go!"
Colen, who had been waiting until now, didn't seem surprised by that. He then immediately appeared on the stage and said.
"Yes, Uncle."
Colen might be affected by the fact that Krune was selected by the Sect Master. Still, he already had his own connection in the Sect, so he didn't need to be worried about an elder calling him to start with.
The third Legacy Elder was Wallan Fecit, Colen's Uncle. Well, Uncle was just a way to say that, the generations separating Wallan and Colen is already too hard to even count. Still, Colen came from the branch of Wallan's sister back then, so he was still his Uncle to a certain degree.
---
After the elders left with their own disciples, Tiago continued with the schedule.
"For those who haven't been selected, work hard, and rise above in the ranks. Our Sect is quite free, but if you want resources, you will need to fight for it! Here, Merits are everything! With enough merits, any cultivation resource, equipment, formation, and everything else is yours to take!"
"Now, I will divide you into those who are going to the Inner and Outer Sect."
Suddenly, everyone's communicators received a message.
"Look into your communicator, inside you can find a message with all that you need to know. If you have any questions, you can find a link inside where you can contact the Sect's Disciple's Care hotline. There you can also see where you make your Disciple Badge and where your residence is from now on."
That was pretty much as the majority expected. Cultivators are indeed a lot stronger than technological equipment weapons. But when things come to information propagation, the technological gadgets like the communicators are indeed hundreds of times better than simple Divine Sense Messages or the old and obsolete jade slips. They can keep all the necessary information, after all.
Tasier and Lofa looked inside and found out that they were sent to the Outer Sect. As for Yusa, although she didn't get the attention of the elders, she was still sent to the Inner Sect due to her accomplishments.
It was then that Yusa remembered something.
"My spirit stones!"
Yusa then spent the next hour running here and there collecting everything. Krune, Ao, and Arlan were taken away, so there was only her at the moment to do the job. Of course, Lofa and Tasier still helped to gather everything.
"So what if I wasn't selected by an elder, as long as I have spirit stones, nothing else matters. Hahahaha!"
Lofa and Tasier saw that and sighed. Perhaps, she was good the way she is.
---
Back into the Sect's Master resting place, Lucio looked at Krune and asked.
"Ready to accept me as your Master now?"
Krune's mouth twitched.
"Is that the way someone asks the other to be his disciple?"
Lucio just smiled and kept waiting. Poor Krune... didn't look very well at the moment.
