The Legends: The Tale of Immortality
Chapter 13: Testing Machines

In that quiet corridor, the sound of whips hitting the skin resounded. 

Li Qing Xia touched her face and looked at the blood that stained her palms. His body trembled with anger. He looked ahead ferociously and looked at the bully who injured his face.

"Who dares to..!"

A silver-haired handsome young man in a european suit stood in front of Li Qing Yu. A pair of sapphire blue eyes looked at Li Qing Xia with gentleness. 

Li Qing Xia was stunned when faced with such a charming pair of eyes.

"Miss, it's not good to make a fuss in a public place. Your actions can annoy others."

Li Qing Xia flinched when she heard the young man's sentence. Suddenly, shame swept over him.

"You're right, it's my fault. I apologize for this irreverence."

Li Qing Yu, "..."

Li Qing Yu, "???"

What's with this lioness....

Not only was Li Qing Yu surprised by Li Qing Xia's apology. The person apologizing is also confused by his own behavior.

Under normal circumstances, Li Qing Xia would definitely ruthlessly beat up a stranger who meddled in her affairs. But when faced with such a bewitching-looking pair of eyes, Li Qing Xia felt embarrassed involuntarily.

Feeling that the situation seemed extremely embarrassing and confusing, Li Qing Xia could not bear to be in this place anymore and went the opposite direction in a hurry.

Before leaving Li Qing Xia had even subconsciously uttered 'excuse me', a courtesy that she usually did not apply.

Li Qing Yu, 'Now the lioness turned into a shy cat?...'

After Li Qing Xia's departure, the young man turned around and looked at Li Qing Yu with a friendly smile paired with a gentle gaze. Li Qing Yu smiled back innocently and the whole person exuded a simple youth aura.

The young man's smile grew friendlier, "Other times more careful. The wound should be dealt with right away."

Finished expressing his concern, the young man nodded slowly as a farewell greeting and gracefully stepped back to where he came from.

After confirming the stranger's departure, Li Qing Yu immediately took off her weak mask.

"Interesting."

The actions and speech of the foreign youth did indeed look like a kind-hearted friendly person. But, even though the young man's words showed his concern, Li Qing Yu was able to tell that the young man actually did not care about his injuries.

Li Qing Yu did not care much about the young man's attitude. After all, that person had helped him once. If in the future there was a chance, he would avenge that person...

Due to this unpleasant incident, Li Qing Yu was forced to return to her room and take care of her injuries while cursing at Li Qing Xia.

......................

Li Qing Yu guessed precisely. The silver-haired young man did not care at all about the stranger he helped. The reason he had appeared was only because he was distracted by a noisy voice not far from his room.

The annoying noise made his mood go bad.

After closing the room door, the sapphire-eyed youth clucked in annoyance, "What a barbaric woman."

The sapphire-eyed youth stared at the report on the table that recorded the activity that was taking place in this city and his gaze cooled.

"It seems that my dear brother is impatient."

In the report was recorded an assault order addressed to several parties, leaving a faint trace that pointed at him. The Association of Assassins and the Luo Xing Academy had started to make a move due to the information being released anonymously.

Both of these refer to him. Some messy things are also done even though the effect is not comparable to both of these things.

"Wei Si Yong is really my good brother."

The sapphire-eyed youth was the second young master of the Wei clan, the main clan that led the territory of the vampire race, the,

Wei Si An's.

Wei Si An was not the biological son of the current Clan Chief Wei. He was the son of the previous clan head. The current clan head was the younger brother of the previous clan head, which meant Wei Si An's uncle.

Wei Si An's father was killed when Wei Si An was eleven years old. Eleven years of age including immature in this era. Wei Si An had not been able to continue the position of clan head due to his immature age so his uncle replaced him as the temporary clan head.

Once Wei Si An reached adulthood then the position of clan head had to be returned to him.

Uncle Wei Si An had a stern nature and did not care much about power. To him, Wei Si An was his nephew and he took good care of Wei Si An purely because Wei Si An was his brother's only son.

Although the old clan head had died, Wei Si An's standing did not decline. His uncle seriously warned the person who dared to have ill intentions towards Wei Si An.

Wei Si An was also given the power to deal with most of the duties of the clan head. He has the greatest speech rights besides his uncle.

Wei Si An has two cousins. The former was the eldest son of his uncle Wei Si Yong and the latter was the youngest daughter of his uncle, Wei Si Xin.

Wei Si An and Wei Si Xin had a very good relationship, but not with Wei Si Yong. Uncle Wei Si An did not care about the position of the clan head, but Wei Si Yong was different from his father. This person desperately wanted the seat of the clan head and Wei Si An was his biggest barrier.

Wei Si An was well aware of his brother's intentions. For many years, he lived with a gentle and friendly image in the eyes of others. However, being able to continue to hold onto his current power and rights for so many years, he was definitely not a brainless person.

Moreover, he was actually a saint blood. Other than his uncle, no one else knew of this secret. He did not know how Wei Si Yong dug up his secret. And it seemed, Wei Si Yong had already started acting against him openly.

Fine, he will accompany her in this game....

......................

For some time to come, each party dealt with their respective affairs. Some parties were in chaos, one of them was the Association of Assassins. The mission of gathering the people who were issued was clearly not simple. Some targets were not easy to obtain, just like BaiLi Yun Yi whom BaiLi Yun Xiao protected.

That way, hard-to-reach targets are removed from the list after it is confirmed that they are not holy blood, saving more time to find the rumored holy blood.

......................

Luo Xing City was more crowded than usual, the streets were crowded with people rushing towards a certain place.

The day of recruitment of new students has arrived and will last for three days. Many people had arrived at Luo Xing Academy's gates even before the recruitment was opened. For those who arrived a little slower, they had to line up behind a group of people.

BaiLi Yun Xiao brought his group through a special channel which was a privilege given to every great clan.

Aside from the big clans, if anyone wants to go through this particular channel, it can be obtained with disposable tokens that can be purchased through a particular channel. However, not everyone can own such tokens because every amount issued is very limited and each token has a sky-high price.

Each token can carry a maximum of ten people. Although the number of people that could be brought was not as many as those large clans could afford and the tokens were not permanent, many people still fought over the tokens.

Through a special channel, BaiLi Yun Xiao's group arrived at a special testing hall.

The testing hall is not as crowded as the one at the gate. The arrival of BaiLi Yun Xiao's group did not attract much attention. The few parties who had arrived earlier only briefly observed BaiLi Yun Xiao's group, some were the kind that did not care about the surroundings and only took care of each other's affairs.

Yue Qing Ye's group arrived early. Aside from Yue Qing Ye herself, the group she brought with her had finished registering. They are waiting for the results to be announced.

For people who go through special channels, they are not required to go through the testing process. For those who only register names, they will be put to the lowest grade and their starting point is lower.

For those who go through all the testing process, they will be put into classes according to the level of their testing results.

The testing process consists of: testing bone age, aptitude, and cultivation level.

For those who had yet to begin cultivating, they could test their bone age and talent. After that, they will be put into classes according to their quality.

BaiLi Yun Xiao brought his group to register. The testing process was carried out in a special room whose four walls were built with glass walls, so that the testing process could be witnessed openly by people in the hall.

The subordinates also have the opportunity to follow the testing process, so that they can also take classes like their employers.

This is why special channels are in high demand. Aside from saving time, people who had yet to embark on the path of cultivation or perhaps people whose talents were inferior could also join.

The members of the outer branch of the BaiLi clan registered first. They did not miss the testing process.

In the testing room, the five members of the outer branch of the BaiLi clan stared at the tube-shaped instrument whose height reached the ceiling with curious gazes.

Just moments after they entered the room, a holographic screen containing instructions about the testing process appeared in front of them.

Upon completion of reading the instructions mentioned, one is asked to come forward to begin testing. After looking at each other, one advanced as the first to test.

There is a three-level glass circle in front of the instrument. The person testing needs to go up and stand on the circle. After that, the first circle will emit a dim light, and the instrument in front of it will bring up a number, namely the age of the tester.

Then a holographic screen reappears asking if the tester wants to continue the process, there are two options 'Yes' and 'No'. The tester can press a button on the screen or say their choice, no matter how small the sound is used, the instrument can still record the tester's choice.

After the second circle gives off light, the tube instrument will undergo a color change. Everyone's talents will be marked through the resulting colors. Starting from red, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, and gold.

Red is the lowest level, and black is the highest level. Gold will only burn if the person testing is a holy blood.

Of course, if a saint blood wanted to hide their true identity, it would not be difficult to disguise their talent. Even the instrument cannot detect the truth.

After finishing testing the talent, the instrument will again issue the same question.  And the top circle where the examiner stands will emit light if the examiner continues the third exam.

The third exam was the test about one's cultivation level. After the third circle is turned on, the tester needs to hit the tube instrument in front of them with spiritual energy. After that, the instrument will produce a star.

The large number of stars signified the cultivation level of the examiner.

One star, means the tester has cultivated to level 1, two stars means level 2, and so on.

Instruments were unable to test cultivators who had practiced up to the silver level or higher.

After completing the testing process, the instrument will display a holographic screen containing the information of the tester and display more details of the test results. Information will be sent to the party responsible for deciding at what level and which class the student will be placed in.

The first person finishes the test and the entire process is seen by the observer both indoors and outdoors.

After the outer branch member exited the room, he stood by the side of BaiLi Yun Xiao's group. Perhaps due to seeing his rather low mood, BaiLi Yun Xiao told him, "Seventeen years old, with green-level talent is actually already good enough. Even though you are only cultivating to level 3, your overall grade is no worse than most people. In the future work harder and you will definitely achieve the results you want."

Ning Chen heard BaiLi Yun Xiao's words and his mood improved, "Thank you for the guidance, Young Master."

The members of the outer branch completed the testing process and each thought of their own results.

Mu Yin was proud of the result. Before leaving, his father had explained about this testing instrument. He was only seventeen years old, his cultivation level was only level 3, but his talent was blue level. Although the blue color displayed was extremely pale and dim, this also proved that his talent was higher among the members of the outer branch.

Mu Yin's results were unexpected. BaiLi Yun Hua who was observing from the outside felt that with the result, this woman would definitely get even more arrogant.

Right, Mu Yin came out confidently and looked at BaiLi Yun Hua with the gaze of a queen staring at her servant.

BaiLi Yun Hua "..."

BaiLi Yun Yi whispered softly in BaiLi Yun Hua's ear, "Just ignore it. This woman has a problem in her head."

BaiLi Yun Lan and BaiLi Yun Xiao who heard BaiLi Yun Yi whisper, "..."

Although BaiLi Yun Yi's words were quite rude, but Mu Yin's attitude was indeed infuriating. As long as the person being talked about did not hear his words, then it did not matter.
