With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 517 Sudden attack

Chapter 517 Sudden attack

The other elders just gave him a bitter look for a second before turning to the other nine.

There were still nine more for them to compete over and they didn't plan on letting these kids go.

But of course they couldn't do it now.

They had no choice but to let this matter go since Senior Brother Ying had already marked this one.

With the display that he had given, it was almost certain that this strict looking young man would have followed him.

They didn't have time to think too much about this and instead focused on the other ones.

But at the same time, they also made sure to watch the rest of the kids taking their exams.

There were a few that had been close to finishing the first trial.

It meant that they were still talented, if just a bit less talented than the ones that were on stage.

In this world, any kind of talent was welcome and they wouldn't turn them down just because they didn't pass the first exam. If they had good character and good talent, they would take them as disciples as well.

So the exam continued late into the night as the kids tested their talents and physiques with the pillars.

What they did with the pillars was press their hand on it and let the pillar examine them.

If they had talent, the pillar would light up. The more segments of the pillar that lit up, the more talented one was.

If they had a special physique, the pillar would display a special phenomenon.

With these two forms of measuring them, they would be able to determine who was talented enough to join the Love Sect.

Of course, for the outer sect, the requirements weren't that high in the first place.

To join the outer sect, all they had to do was light up three segments out of the nine to show average talent.

Or they would have to have some kind of special physique if their talent wasn't high enough.

A special physique meant that their talents would increase when that physique awakened, so it would be an investment in the future.

Most of the kids that came had no problem passing the test.

An average talent was something that almost everyone had, so it could be said that this recruitment requirement was quite low.

But there were still people that didn't meet these requirements.

Out of all these people, it was inevitable that a few of them would have below average talent.

For those people, the chances that they would have a special physique was very low since they were just normal people.

Since they didn't meet the requirements at all, they didn't have a chance to join the Love Sect's outer sect. 

All of them felt quite depressed…that was until Senior Brother Ying said that they would be allowed to become chore disciples of the Love Sect.

This was something that Lin Fan had told him to say and Senior Brother Ying had been confused about this since they didn't lack chore disciples, but Lin Fan was the sect master after all, so he went along with it.

As for Lin Fan's reasoning…it was because he just wanted people.

He didn't care if they had talent or not, he just needed people right now.

To finish the mission that the system had set for him, he just needed people regardless of how talented they were. As long as they could fill up the spots, he didn't care about their future achievements.

That was because he needed to get as strong as possible.

The reward for the other mission was the Time Compression Room, so he was certain that this sect mission would also give him something amazing, or else it wouldn't be worthy of a mission from the system.

He needed this amazing reward as soon as possible so that he could become stronger sooner.

Which was what had made him hold this sect recruitment in the first place.

Time passed and into the night they went.

By the time that midnight came, they had gone through half of the kids that came to the recruitment.

It seemed like things were going smoothly until…

There was a dagger that suddenly flew through the air.

Senior Brother Ying had been watching over everything, so the moment that this dagger appeared, he immediately knitted his brows.

With a step of his foot, he appeared in the path of that dagger and caught it.

After catching this dagger, he turned in the direction that this dagger had flown out from.

In one of the trees in that direction was a black clothed figure.

When this black clothed figure realized that he was exposed, he didn't run away as one would think.

But rather he gave a whistle and there were several other black clothed figures that appeared.

When they appeared, all of them pulled out daggers and faced Senior Brother Ying…or rather they looked at the one behind him.

This was the target of the dagger that had been thrown.

It wasn't Lin Fan who was the sect master or Mu Bao Bao who was the empress, it was a random kid who had come to take the Love Sect's recruitment test.

By all rights, there should be nothing to gain from assassinating a random kid like this.

Especially since they had chosen to do it in a public place like the Love Sect's recruitment test.

Though it could be understood why they did it here.

By doing it here, it would be easier to hide who they worked for.

Senior Brother Ying looked at the black clothed figures with narrowed eyes before saying, "Do you understand what you are doing? If you put down your weapons, I will consider going easy on you."

There was no reaction from these black clothed figures at all.

It was as if the words of Senior Brother Ying didn't faze them at all.

It was as if they only had a single mission which was to kill the kid that Senior Brother Ying was currently protecting.

Senior Brother Ying had never expected any kind of response in the first place.

Since they had come with the determination to kill, it wasn't as if they would waver now.

He had hoped that he would catch them off guard and get some kind of information, but it seemed like the other side were professionals.

Then that meant that whoever hired these killers was quite powerful.

Since he wouldn't be able to get anything, he figured that it was time to end it here.

Senior Brother Ying calmly said, "Elders, please take care of the rest. I'll take care of their leader."

The moment that he said this, the elders of the Love Sect all moved.

It would have been a smart move if they could kill their target, but the moment that they failed, they would have no chances. This was the Love Sect filled with powerful cultivators.

Since they had come, they wouldn't let them leave.

The black clothed figures were quickly surrounded by the elders who quickly suppressed them.

As for the leader, the one that had thrown the dagger, he faced Senior Brother Ying.

Senior Brother Ying was surprised to find that the other side was in the Foundation Realm, but that still wasn't enough to take him on.

It took him no time to suppress this black clothed figure and capture him.

It was the same for the other elders with the other black clothed figures.

The assassins were dealt with in no time and all of them were captured by the elders.

Senior Brother Ying narrowed his eyes to look at the black clothed figure in his hands before saying, "Since you dared to come to our place, don't expect an easy death."

But before he could do anything else, the black clothed figure he was holding suddenly shouted, "Now!"

The moment that he shouted this, there was a gathering of spiritual energy that came from the black clothed figures.

The moment that Senior Brother Ying and the other elders felt this, they immediately recognized what it was.

"This is bad!"

They all immediately released their barriers as the black clothed figures blew themselves up.

They had gathered their spiritual energy inside of themselves and compressed it until it blew them up.

Was this their way of hiding the evidence or…

There was another black clothed figure that suddenly appeared near the kid that was the target.

He pulled out a dagger and was preparing to stab the kid who tried to run away.

There was still one more assassin hidden with a special technique that allowed him to escape everyone's perception.

So everything had gone according to the plan of the assassins.

This black clothed figure knew that he had no time to waste, so he quickly caught up to the kid and was about to stab him with his dagger.

But before he could catch up, there was a sword that flew through the air.

This sword flew right into the chest of the black clothed figure and sent him flying away from the kid.

Lin Fan who had gathered his spiritual energy in his hand was shocked since this attack didn't come from him.

He turned to look at who had thrown out this spiritual energy sword.

Standing there in the night wind and under the moon was Mu Bao Bao with her hand raised.

She had been the one that had taken action before he could, throwing out that spiritual energy sword to kill that black clothed figure.
