Chapter 34 I Also Want To Be Coached

Sara's eyes swept across the Welkin Sect's disciples who stared at her in shock and affection. She remained composed, though, as if she was used to similar situations. She then reverted her gaze back at Lewis and said, "When will the selection test begin?"

"In five days," Lewis answered. "Master Sara, we prepared a cottage for you at the Bamboo Gully. I believe you are tired from your journey. Do you want me to assign a disciple to show you the way so that you can rest?"

"There is no need. Summon the disciples who will participate in the selection test. I want to have a look at the young talents first." After Sara said that, she walked past Lewis dispassionately and entered the sect.

Lewis and the other stewards immediately followed her. He ordered the disciples to gather at the training ground.

A few minutes later, all the disciples of the Welkin Sect who were eligible for the selection test gathered at the training ground. The other disciples also came to see the invigilator, as they had heard that the invigilator was unusually beautiful.

"Are they all here?" Sara asked Lewis. She looked at the disciples of the Welkin Sect before her, whose martial power ranged from Mortal Level to Earth Level.

"They're all here. If you happen to find anyone that you think is promising, feel free to give them some advice if you please." Though the role of an invigilator was to monitor the selection test, it was also routine for them to give the most talented disciples some advice on cultivation, so that the talented disciples would be able to do their best during the selection. This was also meant for the Celestial College to get the best candidate.

Sara walked into the group of disciples participating in the selection test. Hands at her back, she carefully studied each disciple. After she examined a few disciples, she pointed at one disciple at the Earth Level and said, "Step out."

The disciple brimmed with happiness at having been selected. He walked a few steps forward in pride.

Ten more disciples were selected. The weakest was at the premium stage of Mortal Level while the strongest was at the premium stage of Earth Level.

Since the selection was based on the warrior's talent alone, the strongest disciples in terms of martial power didn't necessarily get selected. Anyone with talent, as long as he was given enough time, would be able to attain a high level on the road of martial arts.

After about one hour, Sara rejoined the sect leader and the stewards. Among all disciples who were eligible for the selection test, a dozen were chosen by Sara. This included the most promising disciple, Chandler Xia. He was already at the ninth grade of Earth Level, the most powerful disciple other than Bruce and Elva, with double martial speed. He was also another disciple that the Welkin Sect had focused a lot on to develop, and many believed that he would stand out in the selection test.

Benjamin was another person that was selected by Sara. Even though one of his arms was broken by Zachary, he was still considered a talented disciple at the Mortal Level.

"I will give you special training starting tomorrow. Anyone who performs exceptionally well during the training will receive a special award," Sara announced to the twelve disciples.

Chandler Xia and the other disciples nodded. After all, it was a chance for them to be trained by the invigilator from the Celestial College.

Lewis and the stewards were glad to see that a dozen disciples were selected. That meant that the quality of this batch of disciples was rather satisfactory. Unfortunately, only one of them would be

selected. Yet, it was an invaluable chance to have a warrior at the Imperial Level from Celestial College to train their disciples.

"I remember there are two disciples in your sect with triple martial speed. They can enter the Celestial College directly. If I'm not wrong, one of them is called Bruce Mo and the other is called Elva Han. Am I right?" Sara asked Lewis.

"You're right." Lewis nodded his head.

"Where are they? I hope to coach them as well. Even though they don't have to take the selection test, they will be the weakest when they enter the Celestial College. If they can boost up a bit before they get into the Celestial College, they will become more prepared," Sara said out loud.

Upon hearing that, all the disciples present couldn't help murmuring to each other. They all envied Bruce and Elva, for they were blessed with triple martial speed and they were the most powerful of all the disciples. However, they were shocked to hear that Bruce and Elva would be the weakest in the Celestial College. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"This is so unfortunate for them. Just a couple of days ago, Bruce started to cultivate in seclusion. Elva is working on some matters outside the sect. She won't be back soon. So..." Lewis looked embarrassed. It should have been a fortunate turn of events because the invigilator would only coach the disciples who were eligible for the selection test but never the disciples who were directly recruited by the Celestial College. If he had known that Sara had such an intention, he would have cancelled Bruce's punishment and have allowed Elva to stay in the sect.

"Okay I see. I can still coach them after they go to the Celestial College." Sara nodded her head thoughtfully.

"Thank you very much, Master Sara. I guess you should be quite tired by now. Why not take a rest at the Bamboo Gully?"

Sara nodded in acknowledgement.

"You're all dismissed. For the twelve disciples who were selected, you all need to be prepared to be coached," Lewis announced to the disciples.

When the disciples were about to leave, a loud voice called out unexpectedly, "Wait!"

The disciples of the Welkin Sect turned to look at the direction of the voice. A figure squeezed through the crowd and walked up to Sara. "Master Beauty, I also want to be coached by you. Is that okay?"

Such a rude statement shocked the disciples present. The sect leader and the stewards were also shocked.

The person who spoke was none other than Zachary!
