The testing square at the foot of Heavenly Thunder Mountain was filled with countless cultivators lining up with their children, waiting for the tests.
As one of the two Holy Lands in Thunder State, the Thunder Sect, with two Martial Emperors in residence, was a cultivation Holy Land that countless cultivators dreamt of.
These children were all over the age of six but under ten; too young, and their talent might not have awakened yet, too old, and the talents that had awakened were mostly diocre.
"Blue Thunder, dium talent, may enter the sect."
A disciple of the Thunder Sect, looking at the faint blue light twinkling on the crystal ball, nodded slightly and declared loudly.
The Thunder Sect only recruited disciples with decent Thunder Elent talents, and the talent test was exclusively for Thunder Elent abilities. However, within the Thunder Elent, there were different categories, such as Purple Thunder, Blue Thunder, Golden Thunder, Green Thunder, Black Thunder, among others.
"I can enter the Holy Land now." The child, around seven years old, beca so excited upon hearing this that he started jumping for joy.
And that testing crystal ball, with the child's hands leaving it, returned to its original crystal-clear state.
"Sister, that ball looks fun."
Purple-haired Chu Chen, standing in line amidst the crowd, gazed at the crystal ball with his round eyes twinkling with excitent.
"Let's take it later and test the younger brothers and sisters in the village too," the purple-haired Chu Xin nodded her little head and whispered.
Unfortunately, the next dozen or so children either lacked Thunder Elent talent or only possessed lower-grade Thunder Elent talent, falling short of the requirents to enter the Thunder Sect.
The Thunder Sect disciple, shaking his head repeatedly in disappointnt, called out listlessly: "Next."
As a disciple responsible for the tests, he would be rewarded for discovering disciples with exceptional talent.
But today, half the ti had already passed, and they had only recruited a few new disciples who barely qualified to join the Thunder Sect, which did little to energize him.
"Sister, it's my turn."
Seeing no one ahead, Chu Chen leaped forward, landing in front of the crystal ball.
"You, how old are you?"
The Thunder Sect disciple looked skeptically at the chubby-cheeked boy in front of him, with big eyes and two little buns on his head, and asked.
No matter how he looked at him, he definitely didn't appear to be six years old.
"I'm three years old," Chu Chen declared, speaking in a childlike tone. After saying this, he realized sothing was off, counting on his chubby fingers, and then corrected himself, "Not right, I'm almost three and a half."
"Three and a half?"
The Thunder Sect disciple was speechless for a mont and waved his hand, saying, "Thunder Sect only recruits disciples between the ages of six and ten. You're too young; go back."
Chu Chen's big round eyes widened, and he said indignantly, "Are you looking down on ?"
The Thunder Sect disciple, not wanting to waste ti on this youngster, glanced impatiently below the testing platform and asked, "Whose child is this? Take him back quickly, and co again in three years."
The cultivators below the platform looked at each other, but no one stepped forward to claim the child.
The Thunder Sect disciple's brow furrowed, and he said in a stern voice, "If you continue to cause trouble, your right to be tested will be permanently revoked, and you will never have the chance to join our Thunder Sect again."
Yet, still, no one ca forward.
Chu Chen scratched at his bunned hair and said in his childlike voice, "Uncle, my daddy and mommy didn't co."
"They didn't co?"
The Thunder Sect disciple paused, then asked, "Then who did you co with?"
Chu Chen blinked his large round eyes and answered, "I ca with my sister."
"Then have your sister co up and take you back, and co again in three years. We only recruit disciples between the ages of six and under ten," the Thunder Sect disciple said.
"That won't do."
Chu Chen shook his head and said, "My sister also wants to take the test."
The Thunder Sect disciple was taken aback and instinctively asked, "How old is your sister?"
Chu Chen thought for a mont and said, "I rember my father said my sister is just a few breaths older than ."
A few breaths?
Is that really how people describe it?
The cultivators couldn't help but laugh and cry at his remark.
"Silly little brother, it's not 'a few breaths,' it's 'a few monts of ti,'"
Chu Xin leaped to Chu Chen's side in a single bound, and with her snow-white little hand, she lightly knocked on his forehead as she chastised him, "I told you to study properly, but you just wouldn't listen. Now do you see how embarrassing you've made yourself?"
Chu Chen rubbed his forehead, his chubby little face showing a hint of embarrassnt as he muttered softly, "It's pretty much the sa thing."
"It's very different."
With her hands on her hips, Chu Xin lectured seriously, "A few monts signifies soone of culture. A few breaths sounds like an uncultured bumpkin. Daddy said we should be cultured, well-mannered children."
Cultured people? Uncultured bumpkins?
The cultivators found the scene of the sister lecturing her brother quite amusing.
The Thunder Sect disciple couldn't help but frown, glancing over the cultivators below the testing stage. Not spotting anyone out of the ordinary, could these two brats really have co on their own?
After so thought, he said, "I've made myself clear, you two are too young, not within the age range we recruit. Please go back ho."
"We can't do that."
Chu Xin shook her little head earnestly and said, "If we just go back like this, Dad will spank our butts into mush."
She wasn't lying; if they couldn't make it to Central State and save their mother, returning ho would indeed result in a spanking from their father.
However, the cultivators assud that their father would spank them because they couldn't get into Thunder Sect, silently cursing the children's father from head to toe.
Thunder Sect is one of the two major Holy Lands in Thunder State. Is it that easy to enter? Could it be his hopes had been refused by Thunder Sect before, and now he was pinning all his hopes on his two children?
The Thunder Sect disciple rubbed his forehead, speaking in an exhausted voice, "Unless you have already cultivated Thunder Power, I will not test your talents."
"Thunder Power? Are you talking about this?"
Chu Xin extended her snow-white little hand, and purple sparks flickered among her fingers. In an instant, they coalesced into a purple Thunderball, its enormous Suppression bursting forth, causing all the cultivators present to tremble in awe.
"Such frightening Suppression. That purple Thunderball must have reached Martial Venerate Level Attack Power, right?"
"It's unbelievable. She's only three and a half years old, and she's already reached the Martial Venerate Level of the Thunder Elent?"
The cultivators all buzzed in astonishnt.
The Thunder Sect disciple, being closest, nearly collapsed to the ground under the intense Suppression, his face filled with horror.
Martial Venerate?
A three-and-a-half-year-old Martial Venerate, this was terrifying.
To think he was only a Martial King now.
"I have it too."
With a giggle, Chu Chen also stretched out his plump little hand, forming a purple Thunderball of the sa size.
The powerful Suppression blossod once again, with two martial Venerate Level forces combining to press the Thunder Sect disciple to his knees. He struggled to stand, summoning all his strength, but he was unable to move, his face turning beet red instead.
Chu Chen tugged at Chu Xin's sleeve, leaned in, and whispered into her ear, "Sis, why is he kneeling to us?"
Chu Xin blinked her round eyes, looked at the purple Thunderball in her hand, then at the kneeling Thunder Sect disciple, and said uncertainly, "Maybe we went a little too hard?"
"Ah?"
Chu Chen glanced at the purple Thunderball in his hand and then back at the disciple, scratching his bun as he muttered, "Then he must be really weak."
Pfft!
