Chapter 54
"I wonder what happened in the recruitment square today." The headmaster of the New Moon Profound Palace, Qin Wuyou said. Qin Wuyou was the current headmaster palace. His strength enable him to rule over the New Moon city at ease. His face held an expression of a gentle and un-fl.u.s.tered calm, and a deep wisdom could be seen in his clear eyes. He emanated an extraordinary aura.
"Last time I remembered, the recruits this year is less than I expected. Ya Tan was known for his brutality." Elder Sikong Han answered.
"Knowing that Little Brother of mine, I doubt we have more than fifty pa.s.sing recruits this year." Elder Ya Yii said to the rest of the administrator. Elder Ya Nie was Instructor Ya Tan's sister. They are the most outstanding disciples back in her days. Right now, she was the Supreme Elder of the New Moon Profound Palace next to Supreme Elder Sikong Han and Supreme Elder Wu Nie. She broken through Earth Profound Realm and was promoted into a Supreme Elder.
An outer disciple suddenly burst through the door towards the other Supreme Elders.
"Elder Ya Yii, Instructor Ya Tan has been defeated!" The disciple said while running out of his breath.
"What?!?, That Ya Tan, I always warned him that he will be defeated one day." While she said that, she was quite shocked because her little brother was defeated by a recruit?
"Hoo, tell us the details." Headmaster Qin Wuyou said expressing his curiosity.
The disciple told the elders about two outstanding disciples. Two of them scored impossible results during the second test despite being young. Even if the pearl has been change, the results were still outstanding. The elders couldn't hide their shock once the disciple told them about Yun Che.
"Those two, I knew they were something else." Elder Han muttered slowly. He never knew the recruits he helped just now are the ones performed so well.
After the other instructors fix the stage. Yun Che was waiting nearby for Retsu with Yuanba. Eyes were constantly on him since he pulled a grand stunt on the stage just now.
Since instructor Ya Tan pa.s.sed out, another instructor had replaced him. This instructor is smaller compared to instructor Ya Tan. However, He was known as the strategist in the palace. The surrounding disciples knew despite being small, he has the brains to overcome it. So, he could not be underestimated.
The instructor climbed onto the stage and begin his speech.
"My name is Ah Yan. Like that muscle head Ya Tan from before, I am an instructor at the Peak of True Profound Realm. My conditions are the same as him. Either I am defeated or you last three minutes. However, if I push you out of bounds, considered yourself fail."
The test went on once more like usual. After Yun Che stage shattering performance. The audience had no interest in the other recruits. The recruits were easily defeated by the instructor by pus.h.i.+ng them out of bounds. The instructor used various move to counter the movement or profound techniques by the recruits. Just like Ya Tan, some were able to avoid his move and survived for three minutes.
"Brother in law, are you sure sister in law is going to be okay?" Yuanba said after witnessing the tyranny of the new instructor on the arena,
"Hnnn, never underestimate her. Despite her calm personality, she's actually quite scary once she's angry."
"Really?" He was about to ask another question but he heard the instructor finally called Retsu's name to the stage.
Retsu slowly stepped
"You're quite beautiful for Peak Nascent Cultivator. Hmph, even if you are beautiful. Don't expect me to go easy on you. I am smarter than that muscle head." The instructor said to Retsu.
Retsu's kimono and hair waved itself by the wind around her. She kept a calm face and faced the instructor. However, she didn't do anything but she just raised her hand. Her action causes the audience to grow dumbfounded because they expect her to perform a spectacular performance.
"Can I ask a question?" She raised her hand just like a student wanted to ask their teacher a question.
"You want to ask now? Fine, ask away then." The instructor knew she was one of the dazzling recruits this year. But if she came with that kid then she must be something.
"What if you fell out of bounds?"
The instructor was stunned. She underestimated him? This was unacceptable. He gritted his teeth and said "If I fell, then it's my lost."
"Then, shall we begin?" She said lowering her hand.
The instructor gives a nod to the examiner to begin the test.
"Begin" the examiner shouts. However, there's no movement from Retsu. She didn't draw a weapon or proceed to attack. She just stood there as if nothing would amaze her into fighting. The instructor just kept his cool, he didn't attack because he wants to see what kind of move she can execute.
"What's wrong little girl? Afraid to attack?" The instructor taunts her.
Retsu stood there calmly. She slowly raised her hand to a waist level and point her delicate finger at the instructor. The audience was dumbfounded once more.
"She raised her hand?"
The instructor keeps a straight face because he already calculated moves that would be executed and prepares to intercept them. But, he didn't expect she just raised her finger just like that.
"Brother in law, is she going to be okay?" Yuanba can't help but feeling worried.
"It's okay, she knew what she's doing." He calmly said to him.
The instructor was calm once more. No profound energy came from the surrounding or her body.
"Come on, Little girl. I ain't got all….." He was about to taunt her again but....
Retsu who was standing calmly on the stage slowly said....
"Sho"
All of sudden...
BOOMMM!!!!
The instructor's body was sent flying by an invisible force. He crashed to the nearby wall in the opposite direction causing it to crumble on him.
The audience went silent once more. No one dares to make any sound. The examiners and instructors had their eyes widen as a golf ball after witnessing that.
Instructor Ah Yan slowly came out from the rubble and looked at Retsu who is standing on the stage. "I didn't sense any profound strength or energy on the arena. What in the world happen?" He couldn't accept this. He was defeated by a female recruit with a profound skill he didn't even expect.
He seen various profound skills before but didn't expect the skill was invisible. 'Who is she?' is all he could think about right now.
"Brother in law, you can tell me what happen right?" The surrounding recruits piqued their ears once they heard Yuanba's question.
"Nothing much, she just used a simple thrust technique. That's all." Yun Che explanation was vague but he can easily tell she used Hado#1 technique just now. The recruits almost puked blood after hearing it. Yuanba was speechless after hearing that. He didn't know his brother in law's fiancée was this strong.
'You called that a simple thrust?' The surrounding recruits think after witnessing Retsu's performance. Even if its a profound technique, they can detect profound energies are being used against them. Its a common knowledge. But, she used a technique that was invisible to the eyes and sense.
"That's my Retsu. Simple but deadly." He said in his heart after witnessing her performance.
"How did I do?" She asked the other examiners.
"You…you…pa.s.s." The examiner nervously said.
"Thank you." She bowed before them before stepping off the stage. She made her way towards Yun Che and Yuanba. All eyes were directed towards her before set on the group of three. The audience was still silent. The examiners weren't able to respond after witnessing that move. These two, who are these monsters?
"Young master, hows my performance?" She said happily as if a puppy thinks it did a great job.
"Splendid." He said while petting and rubbing her head. Retsu was blus.h.i.+ng underneath her veil. Yuanba was still shocked after witnessing the strength of his sister in law.
"Now that's done. Yuanba, where's the cafeteria of this place." He casually asked Yuanba unaware he accidently use the word from his home world.
"Cafeteria?" Yuanba was confused.
"Ehem, I mean food hall." Yun Che needed to watch his words sometimes. Retsu was able to understand him well but he couldn't casually use his home world words in public.
"Come Retsu, I am starving. Bet you're hungry too." Yun Che said while rubbing his stomach.
"Hnn, I only ate a little this morning." Yun Che was speechless once he heard the phrase 'a little'. She ate a portion for seven people this morning and all she could said it was a little.
"I just hope the chef wouldn't have fainted after seeing you."
"Why?" She asked innocently.
"Nothing…come on. Yuanba, let's go." Before they could leave, they heard a voice from the skies of the arena.
"Disciples, please stay for a moment."
