Chapter 7 Test (Part 1)

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Tai Meng accepts disciples, Fei Laoxiong agreed. If there are talented disciples, they can be given to us. How about it? Are you going or not?"

  Lei Xingfeng didn't understand and said: "You want to take an apprentice?"

  Xin Zhaolun said: "I'm collecting a farting apprentice, you shouldn't use people under your hand in the future. If there are talented people, bring them back to cultivate and train them, won't you have someone to use then?"

  Lei Xingfeng said: "I'm not short of manpower either."

  Xin Zhaolun couldn't help but sigh, saying: "A Feng, don't you understand? What Master gave you... and what you cultivated yourself are different. Moreover, in the future when Master has something to attend to, you will also have your own people."

  Lei Xingfeng's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "Is this... is this cultivating one's own power? Does Master permit it?"

  Xin Zhaolun said, "Nonsense, Master will definitely allow it, and Master encourages us to do so. Are you going or not? If not, I'll go myself." He was slightly impatient.

  "Go on, what are you waiting for? Hehe."

  At that moment, Lei Xingfeng suddenly understood. This was a good opportunity to cultivate his own power and increase his strength. Why should he refuse? Although he didn't know how many Wheel Rings, Seal Rings, and Print Rings he could get, it was certain that using them to cultivate his subordinates would be no problem. If he started cultivating now, in about ten years or so, he would have a batch of usable subordinates. From then on, whether doing anything or not, having subordinates and not having subordinates were two completely different concepts.

  The two of them got into Tai Meng's car and soon arrived at Tai Meng's estate outside the city.

  Once a year, the recruitment of disciples is a very grand event in Tai Meng. Every year, Tai Meng recruits a group of disciples from its controlled regions with a population of tens of millions. Among those who reach 16 years old and are eligible to cultivate, even if only one percent qualify, there would be over a million people. Among them, it's estimated that nearly ten thousand have the qualifications to cultivate. Even if not all of them are suitable for recruitment, there should still be several hundred people available.

  It's nothing unusual for a few people with good qualifications to stand out from hundreds of people.

  Fellon had such an intention, he intended to sell some of the disciples who were about to be recruited. He needed a ring, a ring seal, and even more so, a seal ring. Unfortunately, even if he sold these disciples who were about to be recruited, it was impossible to exchange them for a seal ring. Of course, if there were really talented and exceptional disciples, he wouldn't bear to exchange them for a seal ring either.

  Lei Xingfeng and Xin Zhaolun got off the car. Lei Xingfeng asked: "Where did Shizi go?"

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Who knows, maybe they're fighting somewhere else again. Sigh, I can't control them either. As long as no one gets killed, I think Master won't blame me."

  Lei Xingfeng's scalp was numb, he was the victim, these two female masters were fighting like lunatics, he grumbled: "These two guys don't even know what kind of feud..."

  Xin Zhaolun said, "Those two don't have any grudges against each other, they just can't stand the sight of each other. With a few small matters added in, it has escalated to this point today. Whenever they meet, they fight. If Master and Senior Brother weren't around, the two would go crazy and start wildly hitting each other. Forget about it, mentioning it... gives me a headache."

  Fei Lun led a large group of over 100 people to welcome him, and loudly said: "Xin old brother, haha, Ah Feng, come to my place."

  Lei Xingfeng found himself surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers after Feilun's death.

  Xin Zhaolun nodded and said: "Fei younger brother, how's the preparation going?"

  Feng Lun smiled and said, "It's almost time to begin. Xin Ge, Ah Feng, let me introduce you." He pointed to an old man beside him: "The Grandmaster of Tai Meng, Han Tian Jian. Grandmaster Han, haha, our Tai Meng's famous Yinzhen Ren."

  "Lei Xingfeng thought to himself: 'Yin Zhenren, a master of the Six-Ringed True Body, is already qualified to become the Grandmaster of this sect. Although there are still elder figures like Fei Lun above him, in the Tai Alliance, he's probably someone whose words carry great weight.'"

  Xin Zhaolun nodded calmly and said, "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

  "This is my elder brother, Xin Zhaolun, the true body of the Nine-Ringed True Man, Cangyin."

  Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar. Among them, most were high-level masters of the first and second rings, a small number were high-level masters of the third and fourth rings, and only a handful were fifth or sixth ring masters. Anything higher than that would be Ferlen, the only top master of Taomen, the eight-ring true body Heart Imprint True Person. Who would have thought that this unassuming half-bald old man was actually the terrifying nine-ring true body Cangyin True Person? This was too frightening.

  "Be quiet!"

  Everyone's gaze at Xin Zhaolun was filled with reverence, which was very clear. Lei Xingfeng also knew that this world was extremely worshipful of people with high strength, similar to the money-worshipers in his previous life. They would envy and admire those who had power, and this world didn't care much about money because it was vast and easy to obtain food. Instead, they were exceptionally envious and reverent towards those who possessed great strength.

  Fell said: "This... is Xin's junior fellow disciple, Lei Xingfeng, a 17-year-old three-ring True Body, the Wheel Imprint True Man."

  Another bombshell, everyone was shocked again, and it took a while to calm down.

  Lei Xingfeng made an effort to maintain a smiling face, but in his heart he was cursing, he didn't want to take the lead at all.

  Below, Fei Lun introduced the Tai Meng high-level to the two of them without getting tired. Xin Zhaolun and Lei Xingfeng became the most honored guests of Tai Meng. With Xin Zhaolun's strength, he was absolutely a senior and superior person, while Lei Xingfeng also benefited from being Xin Zhaolun's junior fellow apprentice and was respected as a senior.

  After a busy and chaotic scene, Lei Xingfeng was sweating profusely. He stole a glance at Xin Zhaolun and found that his senior brother was equally impatient with this gathering, but for the sake of giving Fei Lun a face, he was still forcing himself to endure it. Seeing his senior brother's painful expression, Lei Xingfeng suddenly felt much better.

  Lei Xingfeng has experience from his past life, so he's not too unfamiliar with social interactions. If he really was a wild kid from the mountains, he would have probably turned around and left already.

  Xin Zhaolun saw Lei Xingfeng's old and experienced way of talking to people, and he was very curious. This child seemed to have seen the world before, not hurried or impatient, with a bit of a big shot's demeanor. Although his face still looked young, his words and expressions matched the strength of Lun Yin Zhenren.

  After a round of greetings, Lei Xingfeng was also busy to the point of breaking out in cold sweat. He couldn't remember several people, after all, there were too many people, and almost all the important figures of the Ta Alliance had arrived.

  Xin Zhaolun only remembered the great leader of the Ta Alliance, Han Tianzhan. He didn't remember anyone else and didn't want to either. As long as he left this place, who knows when he would return? Generally speaking, having one high-ranking friend in a place was enough.

  It wasn't until they had finished meeting that Ferrin led the crowd towards the manor, and on the way, they saw all sorts of vehicles heading towards the manor, including horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, pushcarts, and pack mules, bustling with excitement.

  There were many Tai Meng disciples maintaining and keeping watch, and soon Fei Lun and the others arrived at the back of the manor. Among this group of people, most had already dispersed, each having their own tasks. As for the top ten or so people, they were actually the idlest.

  These people were chatting idly in the back hall, waiting for the selection in front. Leixingfeng sat bored and said: "I'll go take a look at the front."

  Fay immediately instructed several Tai Meng disciples to accompany him. These Tai Meng disciples were all direct disciples of the inner hall, and their status was not ordinary in Tai Meng. Of course, they couldn't compare with Lei Xingfeng's status. The leader among them was a disciple of the Grandmaster of Tai Meng, named Han Jue, who was twenty-five years old and a Mysterious Wheel Master. He was almost able to condense a True Body Ring and was a well-known genius disciple in Tai Meng.

  Han Jue already knew that Lei Xingfeng was a seventeen-year-old Lun Yin Zhen Ren. If Lei Xingfeng were only slightly older than him, he wouldn't have been convinced, but Lei Xingfeng was much younger, a full eight years his junior. He didn't dare imagine what heights Lei Xingfeng would reach in another eight years; the two were simply incomparable.

  Hanlin was very polite to Leixing Peak and led him to the front yard of the manor with great enthusiasm.

  The entire estate was extremely large, with vast lawns covering over a thousand square meters, and every inch of it was packed with people.

  Lei Xingfeng had never seen the Dà Mén Pài recruit disciples before, and said: "Hán brother, are these all going to be taken as disciples?" He called him Hán brother because he was indeed older than him, and he wouldn't put on a senior's airs, which would have no meaning for him. Of course, he also addressed Han Tianzhǎn, Hán Jiǎo's master, as Hán brother.

  Han Jie felt comfortable in his heart, no matter who it was or which world he was in, good words were something that nobody would dislike. Han Jie was called "Han brother" by Lei Xingfeng, and the feeling of being addressed like this made all the pores on his body feel refreshed and comfortable. He said: "Lei brother, haha, these people have not yet confirmed whether they will be admitted to the Tai Alliance, most of them will probably be rejected, only those with single attributes will definitely be accepted, as for the others it depends on luck."

  That's why he is called Leigong, which is also a kind of respect. Even though Leixingfeng is younger than him, calling him "Leigong" shows that I don't dare to take precedence over him.

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and smiled: "How many disciples do you take in every year?"

  Han Jie said, "Not many, judging by the qualifications, I remember that in one year, we accepted six hundred people, among whom more than a hundred were single-attribute, and that year, for some reason, there were so many single-attribute qualified people emerging. In other years, it's not certain, the least number of times, less than a hundred people were accepted, and only seven or eight single-attributes, few to the point of being unbelievable."

  "Where is it tested?"

  Han Jue led several other disciples and said: "Follow me, please. Brother Lei will understand when he follows me."

  Soon, several people arrived at the testing hall, where a long queue had already formed outside. Han Li swaggered in, and the cultivators guarding the entrance bowed to him one after another, showing that he held a high status among the lower-level disciples.

  In the hall, a row of chairs sat several people, all of whom were real people from Tai Meng that Lei Xingfeng had seen before. Seeing Lei Xingfeng come in, they stood up one by one to greet him. Lei Xingfeng smiled and said: "I'm just curious to take a look, don't mind me, you're busy."
