《Astral Land》Chapter 12 Shocking
Advertisement
Getting permission from Princess Adista, Reno immediately jumped from the 2nd-floor balcony.
"Whossshh,"
Reno landed safely in the field.
"Dap"
He then runs to the entrance test location while shouting, "wait."
Reno's actions suddenly made all participants, royal guards, and admirals who were about to leave the test location stop and turn back around.
All eyes now focused on the figure of a handsome young man who walked diligently towards the stage.
"Admiral, allow me to measure my strength," said Reno to the three admirals in front of him who was just about to leave the stage.
Admiral did not immediately agree to the request of the young man in front of him but fell silent then looked towards Princess Adista on the balcony.
The admiral knew that the young man in front of him was a special guest of the royal princess.
The admirals also knew that if the princess already gave her permission, the admirals would not dare to reject Reno's request.
Not long after that, the princess nodded and gave the admiral's approval to continue.
"Young Master, please," seeing the figure of Reno as a royal guest who has received the approval of the princess, the admiral did not want to act carelessly refused Reno's request.
As soon as Reno touched the jade stone in front of him, the precious stone began to glow.
All eyes are focused on the precious green stones that begin to show numbers on the podium.
A thousand participants were under the stage, including those who succeeded and did not make it as candidates for the royal guard still had not left the test location.
They still blend in on the field.
Their faces look curious with the young man in front of them with anticipation.
Princess Adista and the four girls also showed a look that was similar to the participants in the field.

Adista and friends were curious about the results that will come out from the jade stones in front of the stage.
Princess Adista and the four girls on the balcony all seemed to be wondering in their minds, whether Reno would give a surprise or even a shameful disappointment.
The royal guards and the three admirals on the stage also showed a look that was not much different from everyone.
Not long after that, the green jade began to release numbers undoubtedly.
Surprised by the results that came out from the green jade, the admirals began looking pale at the numbers that came out.
Several times the admiral rubbed his eyes, thinking maybe the results he saw were wrong.
Not long after that, the three admirals took a deep breath, then exhaled.
They also looked at each other faces.
Their faces were all gone wrong, an expression of disbelief implied from their faces.
The guards, the participants, including Princess Adista's group on the balcony also anxious about the admiral's announcement on the stage.
"16 ……."
"16 ……."
Admiral seemed nervous and did not even believe in Reno's achievement, which was impossible for his age.
"16.5.2.1"
Admiral then shouted, giving an announcement that was enough to echo on the stage.
Immediately, the atmosphere around the test location was quiet and silent.
But soon after, chaos began to reverberate and re-occur.
"What!!!"
"It's impossible; there must be something wrong."
"Try retesting, this must be wrong."
"Impossible!!!!"
"What's crazy, a kid as young as that? How could the cultivation level be that high? "
"Even he has five martial abilities?"
"16 years?"
There was a commotion in the crowd of participants, they were suddenly shocked and did not believe with the results coming from the green jade on the stage.

The participants continued to comment on their feeling of distrust at the results on the podium today.
Not only the participants, but even the three admirals also showed disbelief expression with Reno's achievements.
Behind everyone's disbelief faces, however, they were all aware that green jade could not be wrong in giving judgment.
For more than thousands of years, the green jade was used to measure the strength of an astral creature with one hundred percent certain level of accuracy and has never given the wrong results.
Seeing the results that came out on the podium, Sri Adista amazement to Reno increase many folds because what Sri Adista concluded from Reno had been answered so far.
Besides being young and handsome, he is also strong and powerful.
Reno is a person who is not only talented in martial arts but also cultivation.
"Princess, young master Reno is very extraordinary," said one of the blue kebaya girls beside Adis.
"Princess, if the princess doesn't mind, I'm willing to become young master Reno's wife, hahaha ..." Call one of the red kebaya girls next to the blue kebaya girl
"Incredible young master, even I am ready to become his concubine, haha," says one of the other girls with a pink kebaya dressed while joking.
Sri Adista did not answer the temptations of the other girls behind her.
The girl just pondered silently and was fascinated by the results released by the jade at this time.
In Sri Adista's mind, Reno's position is now getting higher and looks very charming in her eyes.

Contact First
2039 - Earth A narrow beam energy signal appeared aimed squarely at earth from the TRAPPIST system. The communication consisted of a layered set of repeating data over several thousand wavelengths. Over the next few months scientists discovered that the lower wavelengths carried an encoded numerical language which could then be used to interpret the more complicated messages carried on the higher wavelengths. After half a year of painstaking work the signal was fully decoded. It described a small satellite launched along a precise trajectory towards the fourth planet of our solar system. Included was a package of advanced research that humanity would need to have ready in order to receive the satellite and decelerate it safely. The alien data provided the kick that humanity needed to turn from petty squabbling and unite to explore the final frontier. Major government and corporate leaders worked together to create the framework for the United Federation of Sol. UFS spaceports went from scaffolding to daily launches in every major city around the globe. Ships floated like dandelion seeds, spreading on solar wind to grow into colonies. 2397 - Mars orbit, Egeria Station The command center was a hive of activity as checks were conducted and systems initialized. Scientists flitted by like mayflies as communicators beeped and holoscreens spat out green tinted readouts. Nervous energy was thick in the air as everyone anticipated the culmination of over three hundred years of work. Massive fusion reactors under the planet's surface thrummed with barely restrained power as energy fed into a gleaming metallic maze criss crossing the planet. Metal fingers reached up, overshadowing the mighty olympus mons and trying to grab the stars. All over the solar system, people quickly turned to look as gigantic energy lances shot from the dusty fourth planet. Two years later. The same people that clapped loudly at the successful activation of project Hermes now wait with baited breath. A silver capsule trailing bright photonic sails is captured by a net of grav beams and guided with care bordering on reverence into the station. Holoscreens across the headquarters project an image of the sleek craft settling in the bay. Data connections are established and the holoscreens blink to white. Slowly an image forms on the screen. Across the headquarters people stare in wonder as a wholly alien face stares back. "Contact established. Welcome to the universe."
