Chapter 602 Three Parts Of The Assessment
Chapter 602 Three Parts of the Assessment
As the Neal family departed, the Morrison family fell into a brief silence.
"Ah, Lachlan, we've burdened you this time," Winston sighed deeply, his tone filled with guilt. "Listening to Ryan's words just now, it seems he's preparing to play some tricks during the entrance assessment."
"If we really cause you to fail the entrance assessment, consider it a huge favor owed by my family! You can always come to me if you need anything."
After a moment, Winston shook his head, his eyes filled with helplessness.
The Neal family has now ascended to become stewards of the Broken Pulse Sect, an unattainable status for them!
He couldn't imagine what they could do if they really intended to trip them up during the entrance assessment!
For a moment, the entire Morrison family was engulfed in a sense of despair.
"Mr. Morrison, don't say that!"
"Who says we're definitely going to fail the entrance assessment? Ryan is just a minor obstacle. He's not even a disciple of the Broken Pulse Sect, nothing to worry about."
Lachlan had never mentioned participating in the entrance assessment from the beginning. Besides, with his strength at the Golden Core stage, participating in an assessment typically intended for those at the Uppecia or Core Formation stages would be somewhat unfair.
Although Lachlan's comforting words had no effect on Winston and the others, Fiona, despite her young age, understood what was happening. She stepped forward and took Lachlan's hand, looking at him with a hint of distress.
"Lachlan, I'm sorry! I've caused you trouble."
Seeing Fiona on the verge of tears, Lachlan felt a pang of heartache. He quickly stepped forward and smiled gently at her.
"Fiona, don't lose hope so quickly. Do you remember what I promised you earlier?"
"I promised to take good care of you in the Broken Pulse Sect."
"I'll make sure to keep my word!"
Lachlan's words immediately brought a smile to Fiona's face, and she nodded earnestly at him.
However, Winston sighed once again, thinking that Lachlan's words were just meant to comfort Fiona.
With time passing, more and more figures appeared in the square, quickly surpassing three hundred in number.
Many people greeted each other upon meeting, indicating that they were quite familiar with each other. However, there were also enemies present, such as Winston and Aidyn. When enemies meet, envy arises!
Some couldn't help but engage in a fight on the spot, only to be stopped by the Hall of Enforcement, with some even losing their lives!
The intervention of the Hall of Enforcement quieted the previously noisy square.
About half an hour later, several figures rushed over from a distance.
Lachlan looked up and saw a white-haired old man leading the group, emitting an extremely powerful aura.
Behind him was Kyrie.
Kyrie had obviously spotted Lachlan's figure, but since Grayson had already greeted him, he didn't come forward to acknowledge Lachlan. He just blinked at him from a distance. The expression of satisfaction in his eyes couldn't be completely concealed.
It seemed that Lachlan's decision to come to the Broken Pulse Sect was also a kind of trust and recognition in his eyes.
Moreover, with Lachlan carrying the heritage jade pendant, being able to join the Broken Pulse Sect was definitely a blessing for the sect!
"Welcome, everyone, to the entrance assessment of the Broken Pulse Sect, held once every five years. I am Sullivan Kidd, Vice Sect Leader of the Broken Pulse Sect!"
"I am also the host of this assessment! I believe everyone is already familiar with the assessment content."
"I won't say much more. Since the assessment has begun, please prepare yourselves, all disciples participating in the entrance assessment!"
As the white-haired old man leading the group spoke, the square began to stir.
Many people quickly reminded their juniors, as most cultivation families or individual cultivators aspire to join the Broken Pulse Sect, an ancient power.
Although many had already prepared, being in front of the sect still made them somewhat nervous.
The Morrison family members were equally tense. Lachlan noticed Fiona's flushed face, her body trembling slightly.
"Lachlan, I entrust Fiona to you."
"I have no other requests, but if possible, please ensure Fiona's safety during the assessment."
"Even if she fails the assessment, it's okay. Please, I beg you!"
At this point, Winston's request had shifted from joining the Broken Pulse Sect to ensuring survival, indicating how fearful he was of Ryan's connection.
Originally, Lachlan wanted to reveal
his identity at this moment, as
participating in this kind of entrance assessment with his strength wouldn't be convincing. However upon second thought, he realized he hadn't officially become a disciple of the Broken Pulse Sect yet. So why not take this opportunity to suppress his strength and participate in the assessment?
With that in mind, Lachlan gestured to Kyrie to convey his thoughts.
Kyrie, understanding Lachlan's intentions, seemed surprised at first but then silently conveyed the matter to Sullivan, who was nearby.
Soon, Lachlan saw Sullivan smile knowingly, seeming quite interested in his idea, and nodded in agreement from a distance.
Phew!
Lachlan breathed a sigh of relief. He
could sense Sullivan's strength,
which was like a deep abyss. The strength of this Vice Sect Leader of the Broken Pulse Sect was probably no lower than Kyrie's, at least at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage or higher. Perhaps he had even reached the Void Profound Realm!
Soon, at Sullivan's call, the many disciples participating in the entrance assessment began to move forward.
"Fiona, can you tell me what the assessment entails?"
As they walked towards a building in the front square with the majority of participants, Lachlan took the opportunity to ask Fiona.
"Huh? Lachlan, don't you know?"
"I have memorized the assessment content long ago!"
Fiona giggled, showing no suspicion about why Lachlan didn't know.
"The assessment is divided into three parts!"Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"The first part is climbing the ladder in front! It's said that there are formations set up by senior experts on the ladder. It's very difficult to pass!"
"The second part is traversing perilous terrain, but we still don't know which two peaks we have to cross!"
"The third part is combat. We have
to fight against senior members
inside the sect, and only if they
deem us capable can we pass! This part has the highest elimination rate!"
Listening to Fiona's explanation, Lachlan nodded silently.
