Chapter 12: Chapter 12: The Cry of a Pheonix
A little over five hundred youngsters were carefully selected to participate in the Sect Entrance Exam, which was to be observed by the Elders.
Among this group, there were more than four hundred youngsters who possessed three-star talents.
Additionally, there were approximately eighty participants with four-star talents, and fifteen youngsters with five-star talents.
However, what drew the most attention was the presence of a sole six-star talent.
This exceptional person happened to be a young girl, her stunning blue hair gracefully flowing behind her, enhancing her already captivating appearance.
Even prior to the revelation of her talent, many participants couldn't help but be drawn to her as she was undoubtedly the most beautiful girl present.
Even some of the Sect Disciples, responsible for overseeing the proceedings, couldn't resist discreetly stealing glances at her.
Many people believed that she was going to be selected by an Elder. Even if she didn't take first place, she still had six star talent which was rare.
Just her talent alone had confirmed her position as an Elder's Disciple.
Many youngsters thought about getting closer to the girl who was going to become an Elder's disciple.
Even the Sect Disciples treated her with respect that others didn't receive.
Many five star talents also tried to start a conversation with her, talking about their families and how influential their families were.
Unfortunately for them, the girl didn't even spare them a second glance.
"Junior Sister, looks like we will both be selected by the Elders."
It was only when a five star talent made a statement, she frowned. "Why do you believe that we will have the same master?"
"Hahaha, because I'll be taking first place. I will have the right to select any Elder as my master." The young man smiled, making his meaning clear.
He was going to select the same Elder that selected her, so they could be under the same Elder.
"What makes you think you'll be able to take first place?" The girl asked.
Although she could become an Elder's Disciple just based on her talent alone, it didn't mean she wasn't going to take the first place.
She was already aiming for the top position. She didn't want to be a prize that was selected by an Elder.
Instead, she wanted to be the one who selected her own master! And she had already made up her mind as to who she was going to select.
There was only one person she wanted as her master! It was the Blood Asura Zhang Wei!
"Good to see that you are all excited." The Sect Disciples chimed in. "It's time I take you to a place where you'll go through your real entrance exam."
"It's a place where you will get to see the Elders. So make sure you are respectful. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude..."
The Sect Disciples guided the young participants through a portal, transporting them to an expansive arena that surpassed the size of their previous location.
Instead of resembling the familiar surroundings within the sect, the arena bore a striking resemblance to an immense desert, seemingly stretching infinitely into the unknown.
If they hadn't seen the familiar mountains of the sect in the distance, they would have thought that they had been taken to another continent entirely.
The place was completely empty. There was no Elder present here, which made some wonder if they were at the wrong place.
Just as they were about to ask the Sect Disciples, they saw the disciples going down to one knee, as if welcoming someone.
The temperature suddenly dropped, as if they had been shoved into the Frozen Lands.
Only the people who knew about this sect understood what this phenomenon meant.
"Elder Li!"
The five star talents that had come from the Great Families instantly realized what this meant. There was only one Elder in the sect who could be associated with this strange phenomenon.
It was said that there was once a time when Elder Li was offended by a Kingdom.
He froze the entire Kingdom into a thick block of ice, killing countless. From that day, the ice over that Kingdom still hadn't melted!
That was why Elder Li had another nickname. He was called the Frozen Demon!
Following the Sect Disciples going down on their knees, the other youngsters also followed suit.
The first person to go down on knees was the girl possessing six star talent. The rest also followed suit, including Ye Liang.
Although Ye Liang didn't know who was arriving, he could feel that the person was strong. That person was someone that he couldn't afford to go against, at least not yet.
As the young participants knelt in anticipation, a powerful presence began to fill the arena.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from a portal, walking with an air of authority and grace.
Elder Li, the Frozen Demon, made his entrance. His presence alone was enough to send shivers down the spines of those present.
Clad in a flowing robe of icy blue, he exuded an aura of absolute power and control. His piercing gaze, as cold as the frozen dragon, surveyed the crowd with a mix of curiosity and expectation.
Many had expected Elder Li to look old, since he had lived for over five hundred years at least. But to their surprise, the man looked like he hadn't even turned thirty yet.
As he approached, the temperature dropped even further, causing frost to form on the ground beneath his feet.
The young girl with the stunning blue hair, who possessed the exceptional six-star talent, felt a chill run down her spine.
Elder Li's gaze fell upon the young girl, and a glimmer of intrigue flashed in his eyes. He recognized the immense potential within her, which slightly impressed him.
"Greetings Elder Li!" The Sect Disciples greeted loudly. The others also followed suit.
As they finished greeting Elder Li, the atmosphere changed once again.
The sky turned blood red, making the participants feel as if they were suffocating. They felt as if they were shoved into the sea of blood!
Another portal opened, and a beautiful woman stepped out of the portal.
Although she looked beautiful, she was the scariest Elder in the Demon Sect! She was Blood Asura, Zhang Wei.
The youngsters couldn't even look at her, without feeling like they were going to die. They had thought that Elder Li was strong, but Zhang Wei was in an entirely different league altogether!
The place was completely silent. People didn't even dare to breathe loudly in Zhang Wei's presence.
The silence on the field was only broken when a beautiful cry of a Phoenix resounded in the sky.
