Chapter 382 Beggars?

In the Swordsmanship-seeking Sects first-level ranking area, crowds thronged in that space; it was bustling with voices and sounds.

From miles in the vicinity, scores of His Excellencies young talents, under the protection of their own guards, were nearing the Swordsmanship-sect after a long journey. They held great hopes in entering the sects entrance test and wished that they could become members of the Snow Provinces dominating sect.

After remaining quiet for over a month at the first-level ranking area, energy as high as that of the olden days was regained.

Bone Age TestCao Xing, thirteen years old, passed

Bone Age TestLiu Yuting, fourteen years old, passed

Bone Age TestGao Chuang, nine years old, passed

Bone Age TestFeng Jing, fifteen years old, did not pass

In the first test venue, the inner core disciples who wore long red robes had come forward to the entrance test to facilitate the Bone Age Test for the youths. At the high pedestal in front of a total of ten Bone Age Tests, long queues had formed and the youths who had passed the tests were exclaiming in great joy, while those who had not passed were pleading for a second chance

The same tragedy played out a second time.

All of them were wearing beautiful robes; those youths who had gotten used to being successful in their respective spheres of influence, couldnt hide their faces of arrogance when they went to the Swordsmanship-sect.

All sorts of tests proceeded without a hitch and occasionally, a much-envied genius would appear and display his unparalleled talent, with a groundshaking effect.

As for those fellows who courted death, they had been promptly thrown down the cliff by the experts of the Swordsmanship-sect.

Once the test had been conducted all the way into noontime, a team of about forty people appeared and drew everyones attention.

All the pedestrians were dressed as poor children. There were boys and girls who were all around the age of twelve or thirteen. The faces were child-like, and they arrived unattended by adults, let alone have bodyguards to protect them. That group of small fellows carried themselves with pride and before they had appeared before the Bone Age Test in a group, they had very enthusiastically queued up, preparing to have their ages tested.

Among the bustling crowds, that group of forty something rascals were a peculiar bunch.

That was because even though their robes were exceptionally clean, without any stains whatsoever, most of those who came from the group of youths and guards with superpowers furrowed their eyebrows and kept a distance from the rest, as they did not want to be associated with those who looked like beggars. The latter wore torn and tattered robes,
