Tarthocas : Chronicles of the Transmigrating Scribe

"Quick, give me your 2nd Question ! According to my estimates, in about the next five minutes someone will arrive at the cabin !" Weiyu hurried Ling Xuan.

"Ah then for my next question, if Grand Masters are the Perfection of One's very being then why are the Mythical Beasts referred to as stronger beings ?" Ling Xuan quickly posed his next question.

"Good question once again ! You see, although Mythical Beasts are thought to be at a greater level of power, they in a way are not in a higher level of power, it's very possible for an ordinary GrandMaster to be able to go toe to toe with a Mythical Beasts yet that is only when we do not account the special ability all Mythical Beasts possess in one form or another. That is 'Qi Manipulation,' which they were thought to possess due to being direct descendents of The World." Weiyu concluded.

"Brother Weiyu sure does know much about the Mythical Beasts !" Ling Xuan praised Weiyu.

"Hahahaha to be frank I honestly don't know much about this topic, it was usually my younger brother who was invested in the research of Mythical Beasts, the things I told were what I used to hear from my brother who always rambled on about such stuff." Weiyu scratched his head.

"Wait, the brother who rambled on about Mythical Beasts is Shang Zhang, actually Weiyu's elder brother !" Everything clicked into place for Ling Xuan, the reason why Weiyu and Shang Zhang had similar appearances, why Weiyu's ramblings reminded Ling Xuan of Shang Zhang's, heck even Weiyu's personality of treating everyone he has an interest in quite amicably can be linked to the commotion that Shang Zhang caused at the Eastern Border just because of Ling Xuan being Shang Zhang's junior !

Yet now was not the time to dilly daddle but to obtain information.

"Brother Weiyu ! For my third question, is it theoretically possible for a human to become a being equivalent to Mythical Beasts ?"

"Hmm let me think." Weiyu closed his eyes for a moment as if in deep thought.

KNOCK KNOCK

Suddenly someone knocked on the door.

Senior, may I come in ?" A muffled voice came in from the other side.

"Ah yes, come in." Weiyu instantly stood up, wore his mask and opened the door and in came none other than Xiao Kang.

"Greetings Senior !" Xiao Kang bowed and instantly met with the eyes of Ling Xuan who was looking at him and smiling wryly.

"Ah yes I think you have met Ling Xuan right ? Well sit down as I give you some nourishing tea." Weiyu forcefully sat down Xiao Kang and put in his hands a cup of tea.

Xiao Kang's eyes widened.

"It's quite fast right ?Hehehe, it's a skill I have cultivated since I was young." Weiyu flaunted.

"I see, Senior is very fast indeed." Xiao Kang complemented Weiyu.

"Well I'll go out and watch the other participants whereas you two can talk ok?" Saying such Weiyu quickly went away.

Ling Xuan and Xiao Kang calmly looked at eachother.

"You've gotten stronger." Ling Xuan remarked as he could sense the remnants of Qi on his skin.

"You've progressed far more than me." Xiao Kang replied, he could vaguely sense the immense amount of power surging from Ling Xuan so much that it easily dwarfed Xiao Kang.

"That I have." Ling Xuan affirmed Xiao Kang's statement, Ling Xuan couldn't deny Xiao Kang's statement. Ling Xuan first of all had never fought Xiao Kang with his full power which included Potential Transmutation Art and neither had Ling Xuan possessed The Martial Ghost Fang, thus Ling Xuan could confidently say that even if Xiao Kang is a High Adept, he would still be manhandled easily by Ling Xuan merely through Crimson Barrage and Hidden Serpent Pill.

The two didn;t continue further as they had already exhausted any topic for conversation before the 3rd Test even began.

—------------------------------------------

Carto Harts found himself once again in The Library and quickly sat himself on the seat and turned on the computer.

Pe Dop

A notification appeared on the computer.

"Huh this is new?" Carto Harts raised an eye. It was the first time he had got a message so he quickly opened it.

[ The assimilation of information from the host native body is complete and thus the creation of a 'Mythical Technique' progress has also improved significantly.

Would the Host like to view progress?

[Yes] [No] ]

Carto clicked [Yes] and a new window as usual opened up.

[▓▓░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░] Completion = 20%

"Looks like there is still a long way huh." Carto sighed and logged out, his only purpose to come was to check whether there was any representation of the progress.

—------------------------------------------

As Ling Xuan opened his eyes, he found that there were twelve more individuals than last time.

"Looks like the 3rd Test has finally come to an end." Ling Xuan deduced after calculating the amount of time that had passed.

"Oh, it seems like your awake little Xuan !" Weiyu called out to him.

Ling Xuan noticed that all the thirteen individuals including Xiao Kang were all at one side of the room whereas Ling Xuan himself was on the other.

"Don't tell me that Weiyu actually ordered them to leave me alone." Ling Xuan's lips twitched; he was slowly starting to think that both Shang Zhang and Weiyu were actually yanderes.

"Now that little Xuan is finally awake, it's time you all are informed about what is going to happen next." Weiyu's voice turned cold.

" I have already sent your performance reports to the Disciple Qualification Administrative Council who shall judge your performance and give you all a grade according to your performance and from there send it to The Sect Union Ambassador who will relay the reports to the 12 Sect Leaders." Weiyu explained.

"Now one may imagine that it'll be a long time before you get chosen but as a matter of fact the reports should have already been given to The 12 Sect Leaders for choosing and debating on which individual will go to which sect." Weiyu shrugged.

—-----------------------------------------

As Weiyu was explaining the procedure to the participants. In the Fortress of Jingwu Bao The Sect Leaders all sat in a roundtable and discussed among themselves.

"This one should belong to our sect !"

"No way ! This child is kindhearted and pure, obviously he belongs to The Divine Sun Sect !"

"Hah, as if I would let you ! He is a swordsman and thus belongs to The White Blade Sect !"

"Fine ! But I'll have that Xiao Kang as a disciple then !"

"Agreed ! He isn't even a weapon user !"

As such commotion continued a pressure suddenly appeared above them.

"Stop bickering like incessant bugs you idiots." A Calm voice echoed throughout the Hall.

Not even a single Sect Leader dared to even raise their heads even a bit as they heard this

"Continue your discussions like civil bugs or prepare for the next generation of Sect Leaders to arrive, you understand?" The voice asked them.

"Yes, Dragon Emperor!" they all responded in unison.

"Good." The pressure above them disappeared in an instant and The Sect Leaders went back to discussing among themselves yet this time quietly.

Dragon Emperor Xia Fugui on the other hand picked up one of the reports and read it.

Name - Ling Xuan

Weapon - Staff

Cultivation Technique - Four Pole Star

Martial Technique - Crimson Barrage

Performance Rating - Perfect

Additional Note - A True Peerless Prodigy.

"Hmm, Ling Xuan, eh? What made you so interesting to 'Him',I wonder?" Xia Fugui mused, a curl of amusement playing on his lips.
