Ibro hadn't heard about any admission fee from Lina before. He assud she felt anger towards this condition, so she avoided ntioning it.
Throughout the previous battles, there were many monsters that the death knight killed. He had a lot of unused monster cores which he stored in the ruby ring.
He took out one core and gave it to those responsible for the entry fee. One cultivator who was wearing a brown outfit took it and observed the core. He said:
"Grade three monster core that is a high-level core. Don't you have any lower monster core?"
"No, all I have is cores like this one," all the monsters Ibro killed were stage 3 monsters, so all the cores he had in his ring were like this. The man said after so thoughts:
"This core can give you so fortune inside. I will trade it with 100 grade 1 monster cores. You can pay the entry fee with them then. You are two persons, so you need to pay 2 grade 1 cores."
Ibro nodded and traded with this polite man. He then stored the cores except the two he gave to that man.
The people around them glanced strangely at them. After Ibro finished the trade, he entered through the gate.
"You know mate that grade 3 monster core equals to 1000 grade 1 monster core? You cheated on my mate."
Ibro looked at the one who spoke with him. He actually didn't care a lot about the true value of the monsters' cores.
First of all, he got a lot and he also had a very tight schedule. He wanted to register at the admission test.
"Thanks my friend, but I'm in a hurry to register at the admission test of the academy. Are you a cultivator here?"
"Yes, I'm an outer academy disciple. I entered it last spring. Tell , do you have any sponsor?"
Ibro was walking in the big wide street that he entered after passing through the gate. The area behind the high wall was really vast with little buildings on the way.
On the far front, there were so buildings that clustered to form a town-like shape. This was the first town Ibro had seen in this world.
Compared to the towns he had seen before in his gas, this town was really small. Ibro glanced at his speaker, that young slim man who was nearly similar to him in age.
His face was long with thick eyebrows and short hair.
"What do you an by sponsor?"
"Oh, you ca here without having a sponsor? What was your family thinking when it sent you here?"
Ibro thought of the most feasible answer that ca to his mind as he replied normally:
"I don't have family I'm an orphan."
"Oh, I'm sorry mate. Here, if you don't have a sponsor then you will have to get into the pre-exam.
This exam is very difficult and has a high rate of failure."
"I don't mind any test. I just want to participate and succeed,"
Ibro knew that his new friend of his was trying to warn him about the difficulty of the upcoming test. He didn't really care.
He wasn't that weak person as before. He had raised his total level to be at the foundation establishnt stage.
Although he didn't have ti to cultivate and raise his power at this stage, he knew his real strength was way higher than that level. He didn't feel any worry at all.
"Oh, you seem pretty confident in your strength. Let warn you then, in this test there are a lot of hidden tigers and crouching dragons.
You shouldn't be so sure like that. If I were you, I would fear for my life. that test held the highest death rate in all the academy tests."
Ibro just smiled and didn't reply to this young man's words. He had a goal in his mind and he must achieve it. This wouldn't be the first ti to face such death battles.
They have already reached the outer region of that small town. This town was really small. There were fewer buildings than Ibro thought.
Each building was about 3 stories high. Ibro pointed to one of these buildings and asked:
"What are these buildings for?"
"These are the motels that are used by foreigners like you.
Anyway, you need to place your sleepy friend there; she seed to be so tired to sleep deeply like this."
Ibro knew that he had mistaken Nicole's loss of consciousness as being asleep. He didn't correct that, but he asked instead:
"I want to ask about if there was any healing master here."
"There is a whole sect of healers here, but no one can approach them easily.
They have really high esteem here. Only the core level disciple or higher has so chance in eting them."
Ibro kept his silence while assessing his current situation. He presud that finding a healing master would be difficult from the start.
But now he had a whole bunch of healers that he could hardly get in touch with them. He looked at the sleeping Nicole in his arms. He felt a great responsibility to her. He must help her.
"Tell , how can I be a core disciple here?"
That friend looked at Ibro like he was looking at a mad man. He then smiled and shook his head while saying:
"You are really an orphan who knew nothing about this world. Ok, let explain to you then. Here each grade of disciples has their own test.
For example, the outer disciple test that I took was about challenges between all the participants in three tests. The first was a test of evaluation, which I was evaluated with soul crystal.
The second test was a ti-limited core monsters gathering test where we went into the great forest to kill monsters and get their cores. The third test was about direct battles between us."
"That seed pretty good for ," Ibro comnted on the info he just heard from his friend who continued saying:
"That was my outer sect admission test, and I had a sponsor so I got it easier than many. If you want to enter a higher grade then you have to take a more difficult test.
Let tell you mate how difficult the test for core discipleship is. No one in the past 50 years of the academy managed to get past it. It's a hard stone that you will never be able to crack.
You shouldn't waste your ti and effort there. You should start focusing on getting through the outer disciple test first then you can try to raise your grade from there towards your goal then."
