C15 Fearless!
Damn it!
If you wanted to choose Yunmeng Martial Mansion in the first place, why did you take such a long time in making your decision even after hearing the benefits that the other Martial Mansions stated?
What the hell, man?
Everyone in the audience was speechless!
And on the high platform.
The hopeful smiles that the two representatives from Hua Yi Martial Mansion and Mu Jiang Martial Mansion wore on their faces frozen in response to his unexpected answer. Subconsciously looking at Su Ba, they could only ask, "Why?"
Su Ba suddenly burst into a condescending laughter.
As he held his hands behind his back, he stated without any hesitation.
"The path of a martial warrior is a struggle against the heavens. Even if that path is surrounded by thorns and rugged terrain, I will have nothing to fear!"
"In order to pursue and reach the peak of the martial warrior, I will train in the place with the most competitive scenes, a place capable of asserting pressure onto me. Only by doing so will I be able to achieve my goal... Thus!"
"I, Su Ba, will choose the Yun Meng Martial Mansion!"
"What a fearless martial warrior! That is indeed the greatest method of cultivating in pursuit of the pinnacle of all martial arts!"
"This is absolutely the most ideal trait that a true martial warrior should possess!"
The moment Su Ba's voice shocked through the hall...
Xia Hang, impressed by his ideals, began shouting praises to Su Ba as his eyes shone brightly.
As the representative of the Yunmeng Martial Mansion, he too had his own ideals and pride.
No matter how outstanding of a genius Su Ba was, he would never act like the other representatives who promised all kinds of benefits to entice Su Ba into joining their respective Martial Mansions.
Firstly, his pride as a five-star martial warrior prevented him from doing so. Secondly, Yun Meng Martial Mansions did not lack any geniuses in the first place. Anyone who entered, genius or not, had to climb from the bottom up. Thus, he had no reason to promise him anything.
Originally, even though he appeared calm on the surface, he actually feared in his heart that Su Ba would not be able to resist the enticements offered by the other Martial Mansion representatives and would end up choosing one of them instead.
After all, when faced with all sorts of temptations within reach, it was normal for youngsters to be lacking in self-control and end up succumbing to their greed.
Before this, he had thought that Su Ba would choose to attend another Martial Mansion and felt a little disappointed in his heart; he, however, did not expect that Su Ba would still choose his Yun Meng Martial Mansion in the end!
Now that he heard Su Ba's thunderous answer, Xia Haang felt a great sense of relief.
With that, he looked at Su Ba while wearing a satisfied expression.
At the same time, looking at the other dumbstruck representatives, the corners of Xia Hang's mouth unconsciously curled up into a complacent smile, as if mocking them.
With their mouth agape and their eyes wide open...
They all stood dumbfounded in place.
All the time and effort they put into persuading Su Ba to join their Martial Mansion... all wasted just like that!
A true genius in pursuit of the peak of martial arts would never be afraid of competition or pressure, let alone be tempted by their own greed.
Immediately.
Taking a step forward, Xia Hang stretched out his hand. With a sudden flash of white light, a pitch-black token emerged in his right hand, and he handed it carefully over to Su Ba.
"Su Ba, this is the token given to first-year disciples in the Yun Meng Martial Mansion. With the possession of this token, you will be able to enter the Yun Meng Martial Mansion and participate in an advanced assessment."
"Advanced assessment?"
Su Ba, taking the token and shoving it into his pocket, raised his head in confusion upon hearing Xia Hang's instructions.
Xia Hang revealed a warm smile and said: "Allow me to further explain. Although you may have met the recruitment criteria for Yun Meng Martial Mansion, it only means that you have the potential to join. Attending the Martial Mansion in itself will recruit yet another assessment."
To think that yet another advanced assessment is required to actually enter the Yun Meng Martial Mansion!
The true nature of the advanced assessment analyzes whether the person actually had the heart of a martial warrior.
As long as one possesses that certain trait, they would definitely go far and achieve great things in their path as a martial warrior.
In the Yun Meng Martial Mansion, only the most elite of all martial warriors were allowed to enter.
"Not only does one require the potential, but they also have to grasp the true nature of a martial warrior. That is their heart. If you do not have the heart to practice martial arts, Yun Meng Martial Mansion will reject you even if you possess the greatest potential, do you understand?"
"Understood."
Su Ba nodded with a calm expression.
A test of the heart of a martial warrior?
Having reached the peak of his martial cultivation in his previous world, the last thing that would stop him in his new journey now would be the test of one's heart for martial arts.
"Hehe, based on what you just said, I believe that you won't have any problem passing the advanced assessment!"
Xia Hang smiled as he lightly patted Su Ba on his shoulder, and said amiably, "Hurry up and report to the Yun Meng Martial Mansion. Since it happens to be located in Fengwu and is not too far from Huanye School, I assume that you should know the way there, right?"
"Yes, I know the way."
Su Ba nodded.
With that, Su Ba leisurely walked out of the hall with his hands placed behind his back. Under the gazes of the hundreds of third-year students, he simply sauntered past them with an unfazed expression.
At this time, Jiang Luwan opened her small mouth slightly as if she had something to say to Su Ba.
Finally, watching Su Ba's figure gradually disappear into the distance, she ended up refraining herself from doing so and closed her mouth with a dejected expression…
