Liu Shan opened his eyes slightly when he found out that Qing Yao was with the other two higher-ups.
“Kak Yao?” said Liu Shan
“Ah, Liu Shan's. You got away with it too, huh? Well, but I expected it anyway,” said Qing Yao.
“Tuged?” muttered Liu Shan who was confused.
On the other hand, Sheng Tong took a step forward and faced the participants who had passed the training.
“Congratulations for those of you who have passed this training. Of the hundreds of disciples who had participated, there were only twenty people who escaped and were able to pass through the other side of the Shenmi forest. And I have also seen, there are some of you who have made contracts and improved the ability” Sheng Tong said.
The disciples glanced at each other and saw a drastic change before they entered the Shenmi forest, and after exiting it. Especially on one of the people Liu Shan saw, named Tang Shin.
He had a contract with a mythical level mystical beast. And even more interesting, it was his level that was a two-star master fighter. His aura felt different and strong compared to others.
“And now, we will count the pendants you have and determine from the highest to the lowest. Bai Ling, please” said Sheng Tong
“Eh? No, you just. After all, already know,” said Bai Ling.
“Do your duty,” grumble Sheng Tong.
“Haah .. alright, alright,” said Bai Ling as she sighed complaining.
However, he still walked forward and faced the participants. He closed both eyes and focused Ki's flow to be spread throughout the area.
Wush!!!
The wind in the form of a strong Ki aura made all participants stunned until they were almost pushed back. Liu Shan opened his eyes wide and immediately stared in astonishment at Bai Ling.
“(Aura so strong. He could even withstand this wave of Ki aura in the air quietly and not look any trouble at all)Lu Shan's inner”.
It didn't take Bai Ling a minute to use the technique. He instantly erased Kinya's entire existence and re-opened both of his eyes.
Sheng Tong who was standing beside him immediately asked.
“What can you get?” ask Sheng Tong.
“Iya,” said Bai Ling as she nodded slowly.
“Participants with most pendants are ..”
Cold sweat and saliva gathered in the mouth in their own swallow by the participants. One feeling that can describe the majority of them, is nervousness.
And without waiting for long, Bai Ling announced.
“Tang Shin's. With 43 pendants!”
An extremely shocking announcement came from Bai Ling. All eyes immediately turned toward Tang Shin who was pointed at by Bai Ling.
Liu Shan had already guessed that Tang Shin felt different and had something interesting from his Kinya energy. But, different from other people. Especially Liu Siyue, Hao Fenhua, Xiao Lin and also Qing Yao.
“What?!” said Liu Siyue.
“Not ... Shan?!” mumbled Xiao Lin.
Hao Fenhua and Qing Yao stared intently at Tang Shin as if staring at a target. In contrast to the angry gaze, this was more like being suspicious as well as curious.
The other participants also stared confusedly at him and whispered to each other. However, that did not stop Bai Ling from announcing the next most pendants.
“Participant with second position, is Liu Shan with 38 pendants!” said Bai Ling.
“Second position?!” muttered Liu Siyue in an unacceptable tone.
“Well, above the sky there is still sky. Yes right?” sahut Liu Shan's.
Bai Ling continued her remarks with the announcement of the participants.
“Third position, with 32 pendants. Hao Fenhua.”
“Hah?!”
Those entire eyes and astonished cries came from Jun and the others. Especially from Liu Siyue who was with Hao Fenhua before, and now his position in the pendant position.
“32 pendant?!” shouted Liu Siyue
“Hahaha. I was lucky too ya” Hao Fenhua smiled as he scratched the back of his head.
Liu Siyue's face flushed in annoyance and her head could be seen yawning like a merapi mountain ready to erupt.
On the other hand, Bai Ling did not wait for them to shut up and continued with the announcement.
The fourth position was Xu Xiao, Liu Shan's former fiancee with 32 pendants. The fifth and sixth positions were secured by Liu Siyue with 31 pendants, and Xiao Lin with 28 pendants. Seventh to twenty positions are continued until completion.
“Twenty student participants who have qualified, will participate in the Liliang academy tournament. Each of you will fight and reach the peak of strength as the highest-leveled student in academy”
“Of course, the winner will get a very tempting prize. So, don't because you escaped from Shenmi forest training mean you already consider yourself to be very strong. Peak student of Liliang academy, try to make it a target”
Such was the explanation from Bai Ling.
Soon, Bai Ling along with Qing Yao and Sheng Tong immediately turned to Shenmi forest to return to the academy. So did the disciples along with Jun and his friends.
**
The day had passed about three days since the first training in the Shenmi forest had been completed. Jun who was training martial arts with Hao Fenhua inside the training building at the academy.
Buaak!!
The fists of the two of them met each other with the movements of the martial arms they had. Each other pushed back.
Dashi!!
“Wah, it has just passed three days and it looks like your ability has increased drastically yes Shan”
“Really?”
“Iya. The energy you have feels much more different than when we sparring first”
“You are too often unfocused because of seeing the girls in the academy. So you're slow in progress practice.”
Shan's speech felt sharp like a blade that scratched his ears and heart.
On the other hand, Liu Shan who turned around and tried to rest looked at the system panel that appeared beside him.
