Chapter 1600 It Seems a Lot More Interesting

Roan glanced at Rean after that. "Was there really a need to mention me?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. "I fail to come up with a better way of motivating our sect members."

Sister Orb, Havek, Kentucky, and Celis had to agree with Rean on that point. "That's true."

Roan's mouth twitched a bit before he returned his attention to the next participants. "Anyways, there are no kids in your group, so all of you definitely understood the rules. As for a reason why I only opened vacancies for elders now, it's because you have to at least have the strength to back up your orders. Others wouldn't even follow your words if you were at the Core Formation Realm or the Foundation Establishment for that matter."

After that, Sister Orb called the first person. [Trinzi, enter the Slaughter Formation.]

Like everyone else, the Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivators had to go through the first two tests. However, the chances of finding high-level talents had become even harder now. After all, people who reached this level and were in their previous poor situations were definitely poorly talented ones.

Then again, that didn't mean they couldn't find someone like Tatiana, who found the perfect cultivation technique for herself. Leaving the cultivation speed test aside, the battle tests of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm participants had the highest average score so far. After all, these were people who had it hard in their lives and got a lot of experience dealing with difficult situations.

The first place, for example, got a surprising 85 points in the slaughter formation after all the parameters were considered. His name was Tian Bao, a member of the Kufus Humanoid Race. They were pretty much like the humans, not having any strong points or weaknesses, just a balance between body, soul, and energy.

In the cultivation speed test, the highest score was only 54, though. 'Sure enough, someone like Tatiana, who found a highly compatible cultivation technique, is very rare. If I consider compatibility alone, even Luan's cultivation technique isn't as good for him as Tatiana's is for her. Since she already found it, perhaps it would be good if I used the Immortal Cultivation Techniques to upgrade her normal one.' Roan pondered over it for a bit before eventually shaking his head. 'It's too early. Let's see how she'll fare in the future.' The only technique that lost in compatibility level with Tatiana's technique was the twins' technique. That technique was simply perfection.

[Now, to the judgment test.] Sister Orb didn't know what Roan was thinking, so she simply continued the test.

The judgment test wasn't the same as knowledge. The classes haven't started yet, so a knowledge test would only happen later. The judgment test would basically test their abilities to give orders and control big groups. Only the top-ranked ones would be given a chance to choose an elder position. Not only that, but one would also have to have at least 70 points in this test for the option to appear at all. If the first place in this test didn't reach this number, then no one in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm would become an elder. The twins would rather have no one in the position than have people who might make things worse.

Eliana was the one most interested in it. With this many people working for her in the very early stages of the sect's construction, she needed more people who could take care of other groups and follow her orders. Omacro and the others were already overwhelmed with it.

Fortunately, it turned out that seven cultivators had achieved the 70 points threshold. The highest one was an old woman who seemed to be around her fifties, Marcela Lasvran. Of course, she was obviously much older than that due to her cultivation. She got a total of 81 points, which Roan was very satisfied with.

Once the total scores for all three tests came out, the top 5% could finally select what they wanted. The rest was randomly assigned to jobs that matched their abilities in several fields. Marcela was obviously in this top 5% thanks to her judgment test, so she was given a chance to select the elder position.

Marcela didn't think twice before selecting the elder position. Even the threat of receiving punishment from Roan didn't waver her resolve. Her past was a little different from the rest around her. She had a home and some stability in her life. Her talent wasn't anything special either. Simply put, she had a stable life. She shouldn't have even been given an invitation to join the System Sect to start with.

However, her issue lied elsewhere. She was just bored of her normal life when she suddenly heard from one of her friends about Rean and Roan's invitation. She wasn't a bad person, so she often helped those in need. That's why she made contact with people who got in contact with the twins and were given time to decide.

In the end, the friend she heard it from didn't go to see Rean at the meeting point. Instead, Marcela did. Rean was confused at first since he didn't recognize the old woman. Fortunately, she explained she had heard about him recruiting for a completely new sect that would be on the move.

Even Rean agreed that his invitation looked suspicious and kind of dangerous. It was good since they would only get those who had nothing to lose by leaving their homes. When Rean asked why she would risk joining his sect, she smiled and told him, "It seems a lot more interesting than my life so far."

Rean didn't know whether to laugh or cry after that. Regardless, he definitely wouldn't reject her. After telling her the few things he could, he offered her the Soul Binding Contract, which she signed without thinking twice.

Rean, obviously, noticed when Marcela appeared there. "Oh! It's you."

Marcela couldn't help but laugh in response. "Hehe! It's me indeed. To think I could become an elder with my cultivation... Sure enough, this choice of mine is turning out to become very interesting."
