Condemning the Heavens-Chapter 648

Chapter 648

648 Main Sect

Xue Wei and his group managed to get through the challenging area without much trouble. Although the traps were unexpected and made to surprise and stop their groups, they all had a somewhat similar pattern, so as long as they did not let down their guards, there were no problems with their advance.

The speed was naturally slow, but the steady advance was not comparable to any of the other groups, and the experts that were observing them kept nodding their heads in approval. They all felt that this group of youngsters did well.

“There are a few other groups that are doing quite well.” While the majority of the experts were focusing on Xue Wei and his group, a few also tried to draw the attention to others as well.

Although the White Tiger Sect was meant to be accessable for all those with the talents, there would always be some who would use their favors or wealth to gain benefits, and some of the experts that were overseing the tests had also accepted the benefits promised by the parents of these participants.

They had already informed about the main themes of many of the tests, but although these groups were doing better than most, they still failed when compared to Xue Wei and his friends, who had been dancing at the edge of life and death countless times.

Even so, they did not do too bad, but when the comparison was in front, the experts had to intentionally praise them, without it seeming too abrupt.

The woman looked at the other groups, and a sneer passed by her eyes. She was fully aware that some would look for benefits in entering the sect, and in a way, they did not block this entrance of these talents. To them, luck and background was, to a certain degree, part of their strength.

The world was not a fair place. Although they righteously claimed that everyone had the same chances for entrance into the White Tiger Sect, and that only talent mattered, this was, in fact, not the case.

To become a real genius, talent was needed, but more than that, determination and countless resources was necessary to reach the realms that made them able to survive in this dog eat dog world.

.....

Only those with the financial resources or lucky chances could go to the top of the world of cultivators, and it was also because of this that they did not block all those who used their own ways to enter.

This kind of option was available to everyone, but not everyone had the chances to use this option, and even if they tried to be secretive about this practice, it was still well known. Even if some people were indignant, no one verbally complained, and even if they did, they would not cause much of a stir.

The current challenge took a lot longer than the contestants had expected. The speed could not be increased, and no one dared to slack on their mental state, as the sligthest lack of attention would cause everlasting regrets.

“Look, the forest is ending.” Ling Xiao looked ahead, and he quickly noticed that the thicket was getting less dense, and the light much brighter.

However, this observation did not make the young diviner less alert, in fact, being this close to the end of the trial made him even more alert.

It was not only him who became extra cautious. Xue Wei and the others naturally slowed their pace even further and now they resembled the speed of slugs as they slowly maneuvred closer to the end of the forest.

Many times, when the end was close at sight, one would lose their vigilance and waste all the previous effort. This had happened to them before, and they had learned from their previous experiences.

“Not bad.” A middle-aged man could not help but caress his beard as he praised Ling Xiao for his natural reaction after noticing how close they were at succeeding.

“Most young people are unable to realize how dangerous the final part usually is, but to this group, it seem to be natural for their vigilance.”

Although many of these experts were supposed to praise certain talents and ensure that they could enter the White Tiger Sect or a subsect, they were also realistic.

Xue Wei and his group were certain to join, so praising them more or less would not do much of a difference.

“I think they are quite interesting.” The woman smiled happily, and her eager expression had never before appeared in one of these smaller trials.

“I am going to bring this team directly to the main sect. The rest of the tests can be split according to who complete. The first ten groups to complete the trial after these ones will be accepted at the sub sects. You can distribute them according to your own wishes.”

The experts were all relieved and excited when hearing what she said.

None of them had expected to be able to enter the main sect, so they were not jealous of Xue Wei and his group, instead, the fact that they could go to the main sect meant that there were ten spots at the sub sects.

In total, six of the participating talents had paid for benefits, and even if they all six were chosen, another four would still have the chance to join.

This in itself was a great achievement for the experts, and they were eagerly observing the young geniuses that were struggling within the forest.

“We should start determining which youngster goes where.”

As the experts began to discuss where to send the various talents, Xue Wei and his friends had exited the forest.

“That was it?” Ling Xiao was feeling somewhat perplexed as he looked back at the forest behind him.

His nerves were still taut and his brows furrowed. He could not help but feel somewhat ambivalent as he had expected the final stretch to be very difficult, but in fact, it was the simplest of the whole trial.
