Towards the end of day 7, the final day for the exam, the Profound Flower Sect had received a total of 893 new disciples.
There were only less than 6 hours left before the exam ended, yet there were still 100 slots to fill.
"In 6 hours, the disciples' exams will be over, but seeing as how we almost accepted our limit, if we don't have 1,000 disciples within 6 hours, it will be, we will continue the examination until we have 1,000 new students. Of course, we will only extend it for another 24 hours, so if we don't have 1,000 students by then, we'll close the exam until next year."
“And, after we received our 1000th disciple, we will close the exam soon.if you do not get the chance to take the exam this year but want to come back next year, then, we'll give you a sign so you can jump to the forefront and be the first to take the exam next year."
Hearing this announcement, the attendees grew increasingly wary, moreover the number of available slots started to disappear one by one.
6 Hours later, because the Profound Flower Sect did not meet their 1,000 disciple quota and still had 36 open slots, they decided to extend the examination for another 24 hours.
4 Hours after the extension of time, the number of available slots was reduced to 17.
After the next 2 hours, the number of available slots was reduced to 7.
"Why are you extending the time, Su Yang? I don't think you'd be so generous." Liu Lanzhi asked him.
Su Yang smiled and said, "Because my mood is good."
"Is it because of him?" Liu Lanzhi's eyes pointed towards Yan Yan, who had been standing there all along like a puppet.
"I think you can say that. This will be the first time I teach someone who is loved by Heaven. I was interested to see how much and how fast he would grow." replied Su Yang.
After an hour had passed, only 3 slots were left available.
"Only 3 more students, huh?" Liu Lanzhi nodded in satisfaction.
Although receiving only 1,000 disciples was far less than what he expected from their current status and reputation, it was still much better than before, where they would only receive a few dozen disciples each year even during the main days of the Sect.
"Oh, right. Su Yang, I have a question—"
The moment Liu Lanzhi opened his mouth, the ground began to tremble.
"What's? An earthquake?" The people there didn't care much at first, hoping the vibration would disappear after a few seconds.
However, the ground continued to tremble even after a minute had passed, getting stronger each time.
"W-What happened ?! This is no ordinary earthquake!" The people there started to get more worried and nervous.
"Su Yang, what happened? What caused this earthquake?" Liu Lanzhi asked him.
"…"
"???" Liu Lanzhi also turned her head to look in that direction, but she could not see anything there no matter how big she looked.
A short while later, someone pointed to where Su Yang had been staring at and suddenly exclaimed in a voice of shock and fear, "L-L-See there! What is it ?!"
The people there turned to see where the person was pointing, and that was when everyone there could see a huge black snake emerging from thin air for miles in the distance.
This black snake had blood-red eyes and a terrifying aura around it, and it also emitted a powerful killing intent. And also, his body was so large that it was higher than a mountain, and his head even touched the clouds.
"Oh, Jesus! I have never seen such a large Spiritual Beast before!"
"H-Hey! Doesn't that seem to be heading our way?"
The people there started to panic when they realized the huge snake was approaching them.
"Run! save your life if you don't want to be crushed to death by that monster!"
The people there began to flee from the examination area.
"Su Yang! what is that thing?!" Sun Jingjing and the other disciples quickly approached her.
Wang Shuren, Elder Zhong, Bai Lihua, and Xie Xingfang also appeared before him a few seconds later.
"Judging from the energy it emits .. it's a creature of call." Su Yang spoke a moment later.
"What ?! The summoned beast ?! So someone called the monster ?! Who would do such a thing, and for what reason ?!" Liu Lanzhi exclaimed with a shocked face.
And as Liu Lanzhi asked that question, another voice echoed in the area. However, this voice did not belong to anyone in the examination area and sounded like it was coming from afar.
"HAHAHAHA! Hows it? Do you like this Blood Devil Snake, Su Yang ?!"
When elder Zhong heard this familiar-sounding voice, his eyes widened in shock, and he muttered loudly, "Fu Kuan!"
"Fu Kuan, Sect Leader of the Sect of the Million Serpents Sect?!" Bai Lihua exclaimed after hearing her name.
"The Sect of a Million Snakes ?!" Liu Lanzhi's body trembled after hearing their names.
Fu Kuan's voice suddenly echoed again, "The Sect of a Million Snake has been planning to use this trump card to take over the arrogant Xie Family for a few years, but because of you, Su Yang, it's because of you, I have changed my mind and decided to not only speed up our plans for a few years, but also use them to destroy the Profound Flower Sect at the same time!"
"What ?! Have you gone mad, Patriarch Fu ?! This is treason against the Xie Family! My family will not let this happen, and they will punish you with death!" Xie Xingfang said in an angry voice.
"Haha! If you can stop the Demonic Blood Snake that far surpasses the Heavenly Spirit Realm, I will gladly give my life! But if you cannot kill him, I will definitely destroy the Xie Family and the Profound Flower Sect and take over the Eastern Continent!" Fu Kuan roared loudly while standing on the beast's head.
