Outside of the examination area.

While the examination progressing into the second round, the watching crowd engaged in a lively discussion.

Many examinees who had failed in the first round didn't immediately disperse and stayed to watch the fun.

Family members and acquaintances of the examinees who advanced to the second round also patiently waiting for their success.

"Who do you think will get the best results in the second round?" one cultivator asked.

"Why ask the obvious? Of course, it will be the young master of Qian Family, Qian Bu Yu, he has the highest talent after all," answered the cultivator beside him.

"It's not necessarily true. The second round is testing their willpower. Even if he has the brightest talent, it didn't mean that he also had the highest willpower. After all, he grew in a good family that pampered him. He might be a flower that grows in the greenhouse."

"How dare you underestimate our Young Master! You get some nerve!" One member of the Qian Family accidentally heard their talk, fiercely rebuked the cultivator.

"Hmph. They are all envious of cousin's talent and good fortune to be born in powerful families like ours! So they can only run their mouth like this!" Qian Qinrou snorted with displeasure.

"See? This is what I mean. The moment someone tries to reason with them, these spoiled nobles will show off their family background and whatnot. How can he survive through adversities?" retorted the cultivator.

"You!!" The Qian Family's member snarled at the cultivator and was seemingly ready to attack him.

"Hey, hey, enough! Let's get out of here don't invite trouble to yourself," his friend quickly snatched his hand and drag him to leave.

"Hmph. I only stated my opinion, what's wrong with it?" The cultivator was disgruntled and quickly escape with his friend.

Their discussion didn't escape the crowd's attention. Although some of them agreed with the cultivator's opinion and were a bit displeased by Qian Family's overbearingness, they didn't dare to directly confront them. They were still very fond of their life after all.

After the Qian Family calmed down, some of the cultivators nearby started the discussion once more in a quieter voice.

"What's that lad said is holding some truth. But, not everyone from a prominent family is that bad. Looks at Fairy Meng, she was fighting for the resource even though she is coming from a big clan like the Meng clan. I heard that their clan policies are based on meritocracy. I think that is a good way to cultivate a worthy generation," said one expert.

"Those Twins from Mt. Luo also have a chance to get best results, their circumstances are quite tough after all," another expert stated in his opinion.

"Yes. And there's also those prodigies with 4 stars-talent like that Shi Gandang fellow who comes from smaller sect and families and loose cultivator. They had been through so much battle for resources that I believe their will is quite resilient."

"But, I think that Young Master Qian still has the biggest chance to pass the most gate," said one young cultivator adamantly.

"Yeah, I think that reasonable. Do you think we will see someone passed to the seventh gate?" asked one of the experts.

"Seventh gate? It's not likely. I think maybe the farthest this batch of examinees can get is the fifth gate. Arriving at the sixth gate is already a miracle."

"Yeah, that's true."

Although it wasn't like there was no one who had reached the ninth gate, they were only able to do it after they had become the disciple of Heaven Sword Sect.

In fact, the internal selection to join to become the inner disciple required the outer disciple to pass at least the fourth gate of Sword Ascenscion test.

What was unheard of was someone who passed all of the nine gates in the recruitment examination.

"What about that girl who make bet with Young Master Qian?"

"Heh, she is already lost when they accept the bet. I think she can only barely passed the third gate," the expert shook her head without hesitation.

In the other place, Feng Xue and the others were also heated in a discussion.

"How far do you think Snowy can go?" asked Lin Ming curiously.

Feng Xue smirked and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or lie?"

"What do you mean? Of course, I want to hear your honest opinion."

"But, I'm afraid that First Brother's fragile heart cannot handle the truth," Feng Xue helplessly sighed.

"You" Lin Ming's lips twitched when he heard Feng Xue's shameless answer. But, after pondering for a moment, his face change into one of flabbergasted, "You're going to say something outrageous, huh?"

"S-senior Sister Feng, do you think Miss Snowy will reach the seventh gate like Senior Sister Zi Ling?" the smart Xiayoun quickly caught to what Feng Xue's tried to imply.

"Seventh gate?" Feng Xue shook her head.

"Uuh I know it no matter how talented Snowy is how can she compared to Senior Sister Zi Ling," a little bit disappointed, Xiayoun muttered quietly like a sound of a mosquito.

"That's not what I mean. Not even the seventh gate can trouble her, she will break the record today," Feng Xue's expression showed extreme confidence.

"Huh?!" Three people made a gasped sound, still in disbelieve at what they heard.

Lin Ming raised hos eyebrow and looked at Feng Xue incredulously, "You mean she can get to the eighth gate?"

"Ninth gate. She will pass all of the nine gates."

"What?!"

Another bombshell came out from Feng Xue's mouth. The other three exclaimed in unison.

"Don't you feel you overestimated her a lot? Passing the ninth gate while she was still in Qi transformation stage is impossible!" blurted Zi Ling.

"That's because you don't know her," replied Feng Xue casually.

Only she knew about Snowy's ability and she didn't plan to share the secret with others. So she didn't try to argue further. Furthermore, Feng Xue didn't think so much about the examination test. Snowy could easily pass it with flying color.

"I still can't believe it"

Although she wasn't conceited to think that no one could be more talented than her, Zi Ling refuse to believe that "bad girl" who lead her cute Junior Sister astray was more formidable than her.

"Hehe how about a bet? If she can pass the ninth gate, Senior Sister Zi will allow me to massage her in the bath tonight?" teased Feng Xue which quickly earned her an angry glare from Zi Lingwhose cheek blushed pinkishly.

"Hehe, do you think I won't tell Snowy about this?" asked Lin Ming with a smile that was not a smile.

Feng Xue stuck her tongue and playfully said, "Just kidding, just kidding. First Brother don't take my word to heart!"

"U-umm Senior Sister Feng you're joking, right?" Chen Xiayoun didn't dare to believe what Feng Xue said, but some parts of her heart were beating fast due to excitement.

"Just wait and see," said Feng Xue while smiling ambiguously.
