《Rising To The Ancients》Chapter 5
Advertisement
Opening my eyes I stop cultivating and feel my cultivation, Which is currently around 40% through stage 5. Looking at the kids they are both still fast asleep and seem quite tired, So I let them continue sleeping and I head out of the inn room and walk around the city to get some more information about it while occassionally buying things I find interesting. One of which is a mask that I can use to cover my face, Which will be pretty useful.
I also found out that today is the entrance exam to one of the top academies, So I think I should bring Tian'er and Yi'er there because there are alot of martial skills and cultivation resources there, Which can help them both alot.
After looking around most of the city I head back to the inn room and wait for them to wake up. I wait around 40 minutes before they wake up and they both hop over to me like usual. I don't know how they have so much energy as soon as they wake up though..
"Tian'er, Yi'er, I have decided that you two should go to one of the top academies here because they have lots of martial skills and cultivation resources that you guys will need." Said Tang Feng
"Are you going to come with us father?" Said Yi'er
"No. I won't enter the academy with you two, but I will still be watching over you guys during the whole time you are in the academy, You just won't see me unless I have something to say to you guys." Said Tang Feng.
"Then I don't wanna go! I will only go if father does!" Said Yi'er
"Yi'er, Listen. You need to go here because we only need cultivation resources to increase our cultivation, and the resources at this school are very good. And it is not like you won't see me at al. I will visit you guys every time you go to sleep and whenever you wake up I will also be there, Just not during the day." Said Tang Feng.
"Uuu~ fine. But you have to do as you said father!" Said Yi'er.
"Yeah I will. Don't worry and get ready to go because we only have 2 hours until the entrance exams start so get yourselves up and eat and we will head over there." Said Tang Feng.
"Yes father." Said Tian'er and Yi'er.
They both get up and take out a new set of clothes from their storage rings and put them on before eating breakfast at the inn and then we leave in the direction of the academy.
We walk for about 30 minutes to get to the academy so there is only around 40 minutes left until the exam begins and there is naturally a lot of people here. I think it is around 20 thousand at least that are waiting for the exam to start. I guess this really is one of the top academies in this city, considering the amount of people here.
Their strength could be considered decent, Mainly being at Mortal Lord's with a few at True Spirit just like Tian'er and Yi'er. The only difference is that most of the people here are around 14-16. It sucks that you can't take the exam if you are over 16 years old, but that doesn't matter much to me.

"Tian'er, Yi'er, I will be leaving now. I will always jump in if you guys are in danger, So don't worry much since I will always be around you guys. I will always be wearing a mask from now on so if you see someone with this mask on it is me." Said Tang Feng.
"Okay father." Said Tian'er and Yi'er.
"Well good luck guys. You will obviously be able to enter the academy but I don't know if you can get a good teacher to be your master or not, So try your best." Said Tang Feng.
"Yes!" Said Tian'er and Yi'er.
I smile slightly at both of them and pat there heads before jumping off to a nearby roof and putting on my mask, while also covering my body in a concealment formation. It was really hard to figure out how to do this, but since I have the free time I fickled a bit with it and can now conceal my body completely from anybody as long as they are not a Martial King or above. So naturally this school won't be able to find me since their headmaster is only a Martial Lord.
Now that I am concealed I follow after the crown of people taking the exam and wait for Tian'er and Yi'er to arrive at the examiners. I only wait about 15 minutes before they arrive since the first exam isn't much. It only finds out their talent, age and cultivation realm before they get sent in or sent out. It seems that they only accept people that are 16 and under, while also only accepting those at Mortal Lord Realm or above.
Quite a good system since it weeds out all the trash people while bringing them the good people. Most of the people have a Low Grade talent while a few had a Mid Grade talent but none had a High Grade talent yet.
When Tian'er and Yi'er get to the examiner he tells them to hold a stone, Similar to the one at the city gate and it glows before information pops up. It says their age which is 10 and also says their name. He looks a bit startled at their age since their cultivation is True Spirit but he quickly gets focused again and hands them another stone.
Holding this one aswell it glows again and more information pops up. It is their talent. This time all the examiners are dumbfounded because their age is 10, their cultivation is True Spirit and their talent is High Grade. Both of them have High Grade talent.
I'm quite happy because that means they have a higher chance of getting a good teacher as their master, Which is what we needed since that way they would get more cultivation resources and martial skills, While also having a good backing in the academy. Just need to hope they do well in the next 2 exams aswell.
After they passed the exam the examiner gave them both a tablet that says their passing grade and talent. They both passed with 100% which hasn't happened in a few hundred years according to what I heard. After that they both walk to the next exam which is filled with people. This time they had to wait over an hour to get to the examiner and when they do he asks them to hand him their tablet from the first exam.

When they hand him their tablets and he sees them you could see shock in his eyes before he laughs out loud and tells them to go over to the first arena and get ready to fight because the 2nd exam is an elimination tournament type of thing.
They are both in the first arena and together while more and more people start entering the first arena, while other senter the second and third arena. After a while the examiners say the fights are starting and call out names for each arena. There is a couple of hundred people per arena so it will take a while for it to end.
After around 50 rounds it is time for Tian'er to fight and he goes on the stage. Against him is a 15 year old Mortal Lord so Tian'er simply uses his movement skill and arrives in front of him and just kicks him off of the arena and wins. Pretty easy to beat anything under True Spirit for them.
Next to fight was Yi'er who also fought a Mortal Lord but she instead took out her sword and used her sword skill to beat the enemy and won after a few rounds of fighting with him.
Since they both won that means that they both are able to go to the third exam after all the fights end. It takes another 2 hours for all the fights to end and only around 150 people from the 3 arenas pass the exam and head to the third exam.
At the third exam is just a thing where you show off your most powerful martial skill at full power in front of all of the teachers, Basically letting them see if there is any interesting ones to take astheir disciples.
There are some people with strong enough skills that seem to be at the peak of Mid mastery while being mid or high grade skills.
When Tian'er goes up he uses his Heavenly Claw at full power and it nearly destroys the barrier that the headmaster put up and surprising a lot of people there. I noticed a few of the teachers seem interested in him so he will probably get a good enough master.
Yi'er goes up and uses her sword skill and shoots it out at ful power which leaves a hole in the barrier, also surprising the teachers again. It seems that they are both going to get some decent masters here haha.
Like I figured many teachers want to take them as their disciples yet in the end they both got the attention of one of the top 3 teachers so the others had to give up and pick from the other kids to take as their disciples.
I didn't expect that one of the top 3 teachers would take both Tian'er and Yi'er as his discples, but I guess it is because of their talent. After a while everyone was taken away by their masters and I followed Tian'er and Yi'er and their master, Who is at True Lord Realm Stage 7, even higher than me.
I guess he isn't one of the top 3 teachers for nothing haha. He takes them to a courtyard that has ten houses and he calls out and 8 people come running out. Their ages around between 13 an 16 and all of them have a cultivation of True Spirit. Some of them are at a higher stage than Tian'er and Yi'er, but most of them are at a lower stage.
Their master introduces them saying that they will be his last two disciples and to take care of them. After that he points them to the houses they will live in and they ask if they can live in the same house and he agrees so they both go into one of the houses and look around.
The house is pretty good and has a big bed. It also has a table,a desk, a bookshelf and other things. Everything in the house is pretty expensive. As expected of a top 3 teacher.
After they talk with the other disciples for a bit their is a few maids that come to them and they have a school uniform ready for both of them. They put the uniforms on and they shrink to fit them perfectly. Seeing that the maids bow and leave and Tian'er and Yi'er take off the uniforms and put them inside their storage rings before they both lay on their bed, probably going to go to sleep.
Remembering I told them I would pop up when they are going to sleep I go into their house and remove my concealment and they both happilly jump at me and hug me.
"Father! We both got accepted as the disciples of one of the best teachers like you said to! His name is Han Chang." Said Tian'er.
"Yea I was watching the whole time. You guys did a good job during the exams. Even I didn't expect that one of the top 3 teachers would take you both in as his disciple." Said Tang Feng.
"Anyways you really did come like you said you would! Can you stay with us while we sleep father?" Said Yi'er.
"Yea that was what I was going to do. Everyday I will pop up when it is time to sleep and I will stay with you guys until you wake up. Go on to sleep now, You will have a long day ahead tomorrow since you will finally go to the academy." Said Tang Feng.
"Yay! Okay we will go to sleep now father. See you in the morning!" Said Tian'er and Yi'er.
They both happilly hug me for a bit more before they jump onto the bed and I put the blanket on them and wait for them to fall asleep before I sit down on the ground and start cultivating with a few red crystals.
Ignore this damned thing.
