C4 The Azure Sect Recruitment Test

It had to be said that the two legs of Lu Chen were really slow.

Early in the morning, Lu Chen set off from the village. However, he only arrived at Zriftol at noon.

Using the money he stole from the villager, he ate a good meal in the town. After filling his stomach, he went to the tailor shop to change into a new set of clothes. He also picked out a few sets of clothes.

After that, he went around the town and bought some essentials. Finally, he left for the Azure Sect.

...

In front of the Azure Sect, there were many people gathered in the plaza.

In the center of the plaza were three testing venues. The first two were testing talent and strength, and the last one was testing age.

Lu Chen roughly understood the process of the Azure Sect's recruitment based on the memories he had.

The Azure Sect only recruited two types of disciples.

One was an official disciple who had passed the talent test.

The other was a servant disciple who had passed the strength test.

The servant disciple was a disciple with a low status in the sect. Usually, they had to do the dirty work for the sect.

If Lu Chen had a choice, he would never be willing to be a rich second generation on Earth.

However, he had no choice but to lower his head under the roof.

In the Aetheria Continent, if he wanted to stand out, he had to step onto the path of the arcane cultivator.

For a loser like him who wanted to step onto the path of the arcane cultivator, there were usually only two ways.

Either he could enter the arcane cultivator sect, or he could sell himself to a wealthy family.

Selling himself to a wealthy family, although he would be rewarded with some resources from those wealthy families, but that was only for someone else to be their slave.

This kind of humiliation, Lu Chen, who worshipped freedom, would never accept it, even if he had to be a loser for the rest of his life.

The only way left was to enter the arcane cultivator sect.

No one would want to be bald, so Lu Chen wanted to become an official disciple of the Azure Sect.

However, the lowest requirement for the Azure Sect to recruit an official disciple was the fourth level, but his talent was the worst, the first level, the kind of trash that he might not even need.

It was certain that unless his father was the richest man in Zriftol, and was willing to sponsor the Azure Sect with more than a hundred thousand gold coins, otherwise, the Azure Sect would definitely not recruit him as an official disciple.

If he could not become an official disciple, then he could only become a servant.

Although the identity of a servant was not very pleasant to hear, but it was not a bad thing. It was just doing some miscellaneous work for the sect, and was not a slave for the sect.

To put it nicely, a servant was working hard in the Azure Sect.

To put it more simply, a servant was working for free in the Azure Sect. However, they were allowed to eat and live, and they were allowed to listen and learn from others.

Therefore, don't underestimate the identity of the servant disciple. Many people wanted to enter, but they couldn't!

Compared to the crowd of people in the talent test field for the official disciples, the strength test field for the servant disciple was very empty. There was only one examination table.

Behind the table was a greybeard who was over seventy years old. Beside him were four Azure Sect disciples dressed in green robes.

"Wei Qianxian, that's wrong, that's wrong. This should be the way to solve this."

"Senior Brother Li, don't talk nonsense if you don't know. This won't work."

"That's right, this won't work. Wei Qianxian, don't listen to his nonsense."

"F * ck, you know what you are doing!"

When Lu Chen walked over, the four disciples in green were surrounding Grey Beard and arguing endlessly. Grey Beard was holding a strange ring in his hand, and he was constantly fiddling with it. His white eyebrows were tightly knitted as he listened to the opinions of the people around him, and he was constantly trying to fiddle with the ring.

These people were too engrossed in their discussion that they didn't even notice Lu Chen's approach. They were still arguing endlessly.

"Cough, cough."

Lu Chen had no choice but to cough lightly and raise his own presence.

The noisy crowd quickly stopped, and greybeard, who was in the center, raised his head and glanced at Lu Chen. He then pointed at a bronze mirror on the table and said leisurely, "Since you are here to accept the recruitment of our Azure Sect's servant, you should have opened the Inlet yourself, right? Take a look!"

Lu Chen nodded and was about to ask how to test it.

A disciple in green beside him explained, "The one on the table is a test of the Profound Realm. Place your hand on the mirror and activate the Breath of Shadows. As long as the Profound Realm can detect the fluctuation of your Profound Sea and light up, then you have passed."

Just like that? This test sounded too simple, right?

Lu Chen thought to himself as he looked at the bronze mirror. He placed his hand on it and slightly activated the Breath of Shadows in his body.

In an instant, a faint light flowed out from the ancient bronze mirror.

"It glowed, it glowed, another person passed the examination of the Azure Sect's servant!"

The youths who were also participating in the Azure Sect's recruitment saw this scene and immediately became slightly restless. Quite a few of them looked at Lu Chen with envy.

Although there were many people who participated in the talent test, the elimination rate was more than ninety percent.

If those who were eliminated wanted to continue their journey of arcane cultivation, they would have to find a way to open up the Inlet and then participate in the servant disciple examination to become a servant disciple of the Azure Sect.

However, the Profound Sea was not that easy to open.

Without the support of a secret technique from a large sect, it would be extremely difficult to open the Inlet in three years with just the Arcane Awakening Spell from a roadside stall.

As for why it was three years?

Because the Azure Sect only recruited disciples between the ages of thirteen and sixteen. Those who were older than that were rejected.

Without a doubt, among the three thousand applicants today, only about three hundred would be able to pass the talent test and become an official disciple of the Azure Sect.

Although the status of the servant disciple was low, there were even fewer of them. Usually, they could only recruit about sixty people.

Therefore, not only would it make people jealous when they became official disciples of the Azure Sect, but even becoming the lowest-ranked servant disciple was enough to make people envious of them.

"Brat, you've passed. Fill in this form!"

Seeing the light from the copper mirror under Lu Chen's palm, Greybeard casually announced it, then grabbed a form on the table and threw it at him.

Contrary to the envious gazes of the youths and girls outside, whether it was greybeard or the four disciples in green, they were not the least bit surprised by Lu Chen who had opened the Inlet. It was because they were already used to it.

After all, under the blessing of the sect's secret technique, all those who passed the talent test would open up the Inlet in a month.

In other words, opening the Profound Sea was the most basic configuration among the disciples of the Azure Sect, and it was not worthy of being proud of.

Lu Chen also understood this principle, so he did not show any sign of arrogance on his face. He picked up the pen and quickly filled up the form, then respectfully handed it back to Greybeard.
