With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Those five had only been able to pass because of their persistence that had allowed them to reach the top right before time ended.

As for the rest, they could only stand on the stairs right before the peak with a bitter smile on their faces.

They were so close and yet so far away.

It was just that last one or two steps that were too hard for them to step onto.

They had missed their chance just by that tiny bit…

Once time ran out, Senior Brother Ying appeared at the top of the mountain.

With the way that he appeared out of nowhere, all of the kids who had been standing there couldn\'t help being shocked when they saw him.

Then with a wave of his hand, the pressure that had been on the ones on the steps before the peak suddenly disappeared.

They looked up with bitter smiles on their faces as they went to the top. The looks on their faces made it clear that they knew that they had failed this trial.

Senior Brother Ying didn\'t say anything as he waited for the rest of the kids on the mountain to make it up to the peak.

When he had waved his hand, it hadn\'t just released the array on these hundred steps before the peak. When he waved his hand, it had released all of the arrays that were on the mountain.

All of the kids who had been trapped in the hedge maze and the illusion array were freed and they were allowed to come up to the peak as well.

When they came up, they all had bitter looks on their faces since they knew that they had failed this recruitment test.

But once again, Senior Brother Ying ignored all of this.

Once they were all there, Senior Brother Ying lifted his hand and there was this invisible force that lifted all of them.

Then flying through the air, they went off the mountain and landed where they had started.

Lin Fan, the elders, and all of the guests had been waiting for them.

There were some guests from the other sects that revealed excited looks when they saw the kids come back.

After all, they knew that these kids hadn\'t passed the Love Sect\'s recruitment test. However, they had seen the potential in these kids during the test, so they were very interested in them.

Since the Love Sect didn\'t want them, then couldn\'t they poach them as they were leaving?

So these guests were already making their moves.

After they had returned, Senior Brother Ying separated the kids he brought back with him.

The ones that had passed the first trial were brought to the stage with the elders while the ones that didn\'t were left to stand out in the square.

Once they had all landed, Senior Brother Ying said in a clear voice, "These ten are the ones that have passed the first trial." He turned to look at them with a smile before saying, "Let me be the first to congratulate you all on passing."

After he said this, Lin Fan and the elders of the Love Sect all clapped to congratulate them.

Wide smiles appeared on the faces of these ten as they stood there on stage receiving this applause.

The kids that didn\'t pass had bitter smiles on their faces, but they also applauded for these ten.

They knew that these ten would soar after having the chance to join the Love Sect, so they took this chance to flatter these ten.

They knew that they wouldn\'t have the chance to join the Love Sect directly like them, but they were hoping that they still might be allowed to become outer sect disciples or even chore disciples.

So there were many that hung around to see if there was any chance for them.

Some didn\'t think that there was this chance, so they started to turn and leave.

But they all stopped when Senior Brother Ying said, "Now that the first trial is over, everyone should prepare yourselves for the second trial."

As soon as they heard this, they all couldn\'t help looking at Senior Brother Ying with shocked looks.

Second trial?

How was that related to them when they hadn\'t even passed the first trial?

Senior Brother Ying ignored all of the shocked and confused looks that he received as he said, "The second trial will be a test of your talent and physiques. You will be using the equipment that we provide to test your abilities. Those that receive a passing grade will have the chance to join our Love Sect\'s outer sect."

As soon as he said this, the shock on their faces became much greater.

They still had a chance to join the Love Sect?

Then what was the first trial all about?

At the same time, the ones that had passed the first trial standing on the stage couldn\'t help revealing very confused looks.

They had passed the first trial and now they were going to take the second trial with the ones that didn\'t pass the first trial.

Then was there any meaning to that first trial?

It was the strict looking young man who couldn\'t help asking, "Elder, does that mean that we will be taking this second trial with them? Or are we receiving some kind of special advantage?"

Since it was the strict looking young man that asked this, Senior Brother Ying no longer remained silent like before.

He turned back and said with a smile, "You won\'t be taking the second trial at all."

As soon as they heard this, the ten on stage couldn\'t help revealing even more confused looks.

Senior Brother Ying explained, "The first trial was a test for extraordinary talent, talent that goes beyond just physique and the talents that one possesses. Those that pass the first trial are those that are destined to achieve great things on the path of cultivation."

The ones on stage couldn\'t help revealing embarrassed looks when they heard Senior Brother Ying praising them like this.

Senior Brother Ying then continued by saying, "Those that pass the first trial will have the chance to become a direct disciple of one of the elders. They will not need to slowly climb up the ranks as part of the outer sect."

The eyes of the ones on stage immediately lit up when they heard this.

A chance to become the direct disciple of an elder, that was not a chance that they would receive every day.

It made their struggles in the first trial worth it!

As for the ones under the stage, the ones that didn\'t pass the first trial, they all revealed frustrated and bitter expressions. Especially the ones that had been just a step away from being able to pass the first trial.

There were two of them that had been on the ninety ninth step when Senior Brother Ying had appeared.

If they had just a bit more time…they might have been able to reach the peak and pass the first trial as well.

But luck hadn\'t been on their side in the end and they had failed.

At the very least, they could console themselves with the fact that they could still join the Love Sect.

But the opportunity that slipped out of their fingers had really hurt them.

Seeing the looks on their faces, Senior Brother Ying added, "If one shows extraordinary talent in the second trial, they will also receive the chance to become a direct disciple of an elder. Of course, that depends on if the elder is willing to accept you as a direct disciple, so it will be much less likely to be taken as a direct disciple."

When they heard this, all of the ones that had failed revealed looks of determination again.

This was all that they needed.

As long as they had a chance, that was enough.

After all, they had thought that they had failed previously.

Going from that state of mind to now having another chance to become a direct disciple of one of the elders, this was like being pulled out of an abyss.

They couldn\'t wait to take the second trial.

Seeing the looks on their faces, Senior Brother Ying gave a nod before saying, "Bring out the testing equipment."

After he said this, there were several Love Sect disciples that brought out large pillars.

These large pillars were pushed into the square and the disciples showed the kids how to test themselves with them.

Senior Brother Ying just left all of this to the Love Sect disciples as he turned back to the ten on stage.

They had already agreed that they would hold the disciple choosing ceremony later, but…

Senior Brother Ying looked at the strict looking young man and said, "Will you take me as your master?"

The strict looking young man was caught off guard by this sudden question, but then he fell down on one knee and said, "Tie Yong bows to master."

Senior Brother Ying had been the one that had given him the token that helped him pass. This was something that had been on the strict looking young man\'s mind the entire time and he had been thinking of how to thank this elder.

Since this elder was willing to take him as his master, this strict looking young man had no reason to refuse.

Senior Brother Ying gave a satisfied nod before turning to look at the other elders with a smug look on his face.
