Li Chen opened his eyes slightly when he found out that the one who came was Ying Yue with the other two higher-ups.
“Kak Yue?” said Li Chen
“Ah, Li Chen's. You got away with it too, huh? Well, but I was expecting it anyway” Ying Yue said
“Tuged?” muttered Li Chen who was confused
On the other hand, Shang Li 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 of” said Shang Li
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 Li Chen 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 Hua, please” said Shang Li
“Eh? No, you just. Besides already know” said Bai Hua
“Do your duty. I'm not your maid or servant!” shang Li's Grunts
“Haah... alright, alright” said Bai Hua as he 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. Li Chen opened his eyes wide and immediately stared in astonishment at Bai Hua.
“(Aura so strong. He could even withstand this wave of Ki aura in the air quietly and did not look any trouble at all)Li Chen's inner”
It didn't take Bai Hua a minute to use the technique. He instantly erased Kinya's entire existence and re-opened both of his eyes.
Shang Li who was standing next to him immediately asked.
“What can you get?” ask Shang Li
“Iya” said Bai Hua while nodding 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 Hua announced.
“Tang Shin's. With 43 pendants!”
A very surprising announcement came from Bai Hua. All eyes immediately turned toward Tang Shin who was pointed at by Bai Hua.
Li Chen had expected that Tang Shin felt different and had something interesting from his Kinya energy. But, different from other people. Especially Li Jia, Lei Jingting, Gong Qiao and also Ying Yue.
“What?!” said Li Jia
“Not... Chen?!” muttered Gong Qiao
Lei Jingting and Ying Yue 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 Hua from announcing the next most pendants.
“Participant with second position, is Li Chen with 38 pendants!” said Bai Hua
“Second position?!” muttered Li Jia in an unacceptable tone
“Well, above the sky there is still sky. Yes right?” li Chen's
Bai Hua continued his remarks with the announcement of the participants.
“Third position, with 32 pendants. Lei Jingting”'s
“Hah?!”
Those entire eyes and astonished cries came from Jun and the others. Especially from Li Jia who was with Lei Jingting before, and now his position was defeated in the pendant position.
“32 pendant?!” shouted Li Jia
“Hahaha. I was lucky as well huh” Lei Jingting smiled as he scratched the back of his head
Li Jia's face flushed in annoyance and his head could be seen yawning like a merapi mountain ready to erupt.
On the other hand, Bai Hua did not wait for them to shut up and continued with the announcement.
The fourth position was Fang Yi, a former tunagan Li Chen with 32 pendants. The fifth and sixth positions were secured by Li Jia with 31 pendants, and Gong Qiao 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 Hua.
Soon, Bai Hua along with Ying Yue and Shang Li 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 practiced martial arts with Lei Jingting inside the training building in 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.
Dashh…!!
“Wah, it has just passed three days and it looks like your ability has increased drastically huh Chen”
“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”
Chen's words felt sharp like blades that scratched his ears and heart.
On the other hand, Li Chen who turned around and tried to rest looked at the system panel that appeared beside him.
