Chapter 480 Sect Entrance Examination [6]
Chapter 480 Sect Entrance Examination [6]
Minutes passed as every disciple approached the table one by one, submitting their information and receiving their identification plates.
The large courtyard was alive with the murmuring of students, the soft hum of Dayong's machine, and the occasional clink of marbles.
Each new disciple clutched their identification plate with a mix of pride and anticipation, fully aware that they had now officially stepped into the ranks of the Jade Eclipse Sect. After everyone is finished, Eldric Grey let out a faint cough grabbing everyone's attention.
"Now that everyone has been registered, let's check the top 3 rankings in the Sect Entrance Examination."
The mention of the top three caused a stir among the disciples. Murmurs broke out, and a few glanced toward Zhao Tian, already suspecting his name might be called. Dayong, who was sitting on the table, gave a nod and stood up as he glanced at the tablet in the table.
"The third place is Xue Han with 180 marbles."
Hearing his name being called, a handsome young man with jet-black hair stepped up from everyone and stood in front of the crowd.
"The second place is Li Jia with 320 marbles..."
A hush fell over the courtyard as all eyes turned toward the young woman who stepped forward.
The woman's sleek black hair fell like a waterfall down her back, and her striking blue eyes gleamed beneath her delicate brows.
She moved with an air of elegance, her robes swaying softly around her slender figure as she made her way to the front.
"The first place is Zhao Tian with 1267 marbles."
Hearing this, all the disciples bellowed in frustration, looking at the handsome young man with white hair stepping in front.
'This fucker... ahhh.'
'He is first after all... I am not surprised.'
'Bastard.'
Looking at the three of them, Eldric Grey spoke "Now to distribute the rewards for everyone who passed the Sect Entrance Examination."
"And also special rewards for the top three participants."
"First, let's distribute the rewards for all of the new outer disciples... you all will get 100 credits."
Some disciples were confused and looked at each other. Credits? What is credits?
Looking at their confusion, Eldric Grey explained further "In our Jade Eclipse Sect, the credits are the currency... you can't use your high grade astral stones here."
Eldric Grey continued, his tone firm. "You can earn credits by completing missions assigned by the Sect Hall. Credits are essential for acquiring resources, techniques, and even access to certain areas of the sect."
"This system ensures that merit and hard work are rewarded above all else. No matter how wealthy you may be outside these walls, inside the sect, only credits matter." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The sect credits system exists to discipline the disciples of the sect, so if they wanted to buy something, they had to earn it; and to gain credits, they needed to do the missions.
Even if you are rich, you can't buy anything within the sect.
This will create equality within the disciples.
"And the disciples who came 2nd and 3rd will receive 500 and 300 credits respectively and a 3-month membership to enter library which is usually bought with credits."
"You both can also take a Mythic grade skill or weapon for free from the Sect warehouse."
Then Eldric Grey's eyes fell on Zhao Tian "The one who came first will receive first will get 1000 credits and a 6-month free membership to enter the Sect library."
"You can select a Radiant grade skill or weapon from the Sect warehouse."
'What the hell?'
'A radiant grade weapon or skill?'
'For a cheater like him?'
Many people bellowed in anger as they shot glares towards Zhao Tian, who was calmly standing in the front with a faint smile on his face.
Finally, someone from the crowd, braver than the rest, voiced what many had been thinking: "That guy robbed us!"
Hearing one confident voice, the others also joined in "Yeah, yeah... he bullied us us and bought three marbles from everyone who was entering the Southern Gate.."
"He should not get those credits and skills."
"This is totally unfair."
Suddenly a huge commotion swept as the people who had a grudge against him and had beaten him gathered and voiced their opinions.
Hearing the commotion, Eldric Grey's eyes narrowed as cold words escaped his lips "Unfair? When has this world been fair to you?"
"Only strength rules..."
"You lost because you are all weak compared to the disciple, Zhao Tian. Don't forget that all of you are standing here because of his mercy."
"If he wanted, he could have collected all of your marbles and sent you empty-handed, resulting in you dropping out from the examination."
"But he is kind enough to only rob three marbles from you so that you can join the Sect."
"You all should be grateful to him."
What the hell?
We're supposed to be grateful for being robbed?
The disciples were dumbfounded to hear this and their jaws dropped.
It was all Zhao Tian's fault for robbing them and now they have to be grateful to him?
Eldric Grey raised an eyebrow and spoke "Now, all of you say thank you to him for letting you enter the Jade Eclipse Sect."
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
The disciples glanced at each other in bewilderment as the situation turned out like this, while Zhao Tian couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
Seeing them murmuring, Eldric Grey spoke "Do I have to say it twice?"
The disciples shivered to hear his voice and in unison, they all bowed their heads to him "Thank you Senior for letting us enter the Jade Eclipse Sect." x 345
Hearing their deep gratitude, Zhao Tian showed a faint smile and dismissed his hand politely as he spoke in a teasing tone. "Don't mention it… seriously, I'm trying to stay humble here."
HUH?
Hearing his response, the disciples' eyebrows twitched in annoyance 'This bastard... I will kill this guy.'
'Ahhhh, I wanna punch this guy so bad.'
'This guy robbed all of us... and what is he acting like a hero up there...'
'Fuck you...'
'On god.. I hate this guy...'
While some were irritated and cursing him in their hearts, most were amused and couldn't suppress their laughter as they burst out laughing.
Some women who were charmed by his appearance giggled seeing his teasing voice "Ha… I can't believe this…"
"This guy is too much."
Eldric Grey continued "You can also check your credits anytime... turn your plate and look, there will be a small button beside your identification code."
The disciples took the plates from their waists and clicked the button as a small hologram appeared showing their credits.
"Woahh...."
Seeing their faces, Eldric Grey spoke "Now that you have gotten your credits, return to your rooms within the Sect. Dayong will escort you there."
