Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Is this person the one participating in the Direct Disciple examination this time?

Zheng Chuan and others looked at the figure walking out from the pavilion, their eyes filled with doubt. They had not seen this person before.

Among the three thousand Inner Sect Disciples, they had not met every single one, but they were familiar with those at the top of the rankings.

This person they had no impression of, so the only possibility was that he was an inconspicuous member of the Inner Sect Disciples, ranked beyond a thousand.

Could an Inner Sect Disciple, ranked beyond a thousand, suddenly soar and achieve a perfect score in the Direct Disciple examination?

It seemed unbelievable, but apart from this, they couldn’t think of any other identity for this person. It couldn’t possibly be an Outer Sect Disciple?

The moment Lin Chen stepped out of the pavilion and saw the teachers and Elder Qu, as well as some other elders standing in the yard, he was momentarily stunned. There was no doubt these elders, like his master, were also Sect Elders.

”Disciple Lin Chen greets all the Elders.”

Lin Chen immediately spoke respectfully, then turned towards his master: ”Disciple has finally lived up to Master’s expectations.”

But what confused Lin Chen was that neither his master nor the elders present spoke. Everyone’s gaze was directed behind him.

What was behind him?

Lin Chen turned around and saw the jade monument on the left side of the pavilion starting to emit light.

Numbers began to slowly appear on it.

[203]

Gasp!

As soon as this score was displayed, many disciples standing at the courtyard gate exclaimed in shock.

Two hundred points!

If they recalled correctly, the last person to break two hundred points in the Direct Disciple examination was twenty years ago.

The total score for the Direct Disciple examination was only two hundred and ten.

This meant that not only was this person perfect in one section, but almost perfect in the other two as well.

When Qu Guanfu and other elders saw Lin Chen’s score, there was a sparkle in their eyes. This score was different from what they imagined a perfect situation would be.

The Direct Disciple examination, the first section was the easiest to score full marks in, and a few disciples with special Divine Souls could achieve it in the second section. However, achieving a full score in the third section was almost impossible.

Yet it was precisely the potential section in the third test that had the highest score, with a perfect score of ninety, almost twice that of the first practical examination.

The sect designed it this way because, at this stage, a disciple’s current strength was insignificant. For the sect, a disciple who had not Entered the Grade, no matter how strong within the same Realm, even if they could fight ten at a time, was less important than having strong potential.

Anyone breaking two hundred points would have a very high score in the potential section.

”Hahaha, Celestial Grace Canglan Sect.”

The next moment, Du Xiaofeng’s unrestrained laughter filled the entire courtyard. He had never expected Lin Chen to give him such a surprise. Two hundred and three points, if he remembered correctly, twenty years ago the Sect Leader personally accepted a disciple, who only scored two hundred points.

That person scored perfect marks on two tests and was still three points lower than Lin Chen.

”Old fool!”

Hearing Du Xiaofeng shamelessly say, ”Celestial Grace Canglan Sect,” the elders present inwardly cursed. Although Lin Chen was indeed a disciple of Canglan Sect, Du Xiaofeng’s words were grating when they came out of his mouth.

”Junior Brother Du is right, indeed Celestial Grace Canglan Sect.”

And just as Du Xiaofeng’s voice faded, a voice suddenly echoed in the courtyard, and the next moment a figure appeared out of nowhere in the courtyard.

Seeing the figure appearing in the courtyard, all the elders present spoke in unison: ”Greetings to the Sect Leader.”

Lin Chen, hearing the words of the elders and seeing this middle-aged man in a purple robe, hurriedly saluted: ”Disciple Lin Chen greets the Sect Leader.”

”There is no need for formalities, my dear junior brothers.”

Ji Cangtian spoke with a smile, his eyes falling on Lin Chen: ”This Sect Leader asks you, which section did you score a perfect mark in this examination?”

”The third section, the potential section.”

Lin Chen’s answer made all the elders present squint their eyes, while Zheng Chuan and the other disciples’ mouths were wide open enough to fit an egg.

Full marks in the potential section?

Although they were not yet Direct Disciples, with their potential they also had a chance to become Direct Disciples, so they were quite familiar with the Direct Disciple examination. Of the three sections, the last section was the most difficult.

This section had nothing to do with strength or Divine Soul, it completely relied on potential.

Even those Direct Disciples could not clearly explain how exactly the potential was tested; they only knew that once they stepped onto the third section’s platform, they would reach a point where they could no longer advance.

Ji Cangtian’s eyes held a knowing look; when Lin Chen’s score broke two hundred, he had already guessed that Lin Chen most likely got an extremely high score in the potential section.

Because Lin Chen’s Divine Soul had not yet surpassed Innate, it was impossible for him to get full marks in the second section.

Even so, he could not guarantee that Lin Chen could get a full score in the potential section.

”Good, good, good!”

Ji Cangtian said the word ”good” three times in a row, then looked at Du Xiaofeng. If... if Elder Du hadn’t taken the initiative, he would surely have accepted this prodigy himself.

But now the situation was set in stone; as the dignified Sect Leader, he naturally couldn’t compete with elders for disciples.

”Elder Du and Lin Chen, follow this Sect Leader to the Canglan Main Hall, the other elders may disperse.”

”Yes.”

Qu Guanfu and the other elders responded in unison. The Sect Leader’s words were final, and no one could compete for Lin Chen anymore.

Meanwhile, Zheng Chuan and the other disciples were in utter shock. Even they were not qualified to enter the Canglan Main Hall; only elders and Direct Disciples in the entire sect were eligible.
