Chapter 8: Heavenly Martial Sect, Entrance Examination

In the past, Jiang Zhong believed that Ling Dao could achieve great success, not for any other reason, but because Ling Dao was the son of the Carefree King. Ever since seven days ago, when Ling Dao executed that incredibly stunning sword strike, Jiang Zhong has become even more convinced that Ling Dao has the potential to become an unparalleled powerhouse in the future

One cannot say that either; perhaps the person in question is just keeping a low profile. You do not know that a cornered dog can jump over a wall, and a frightened rabbit can bite, can it not

How frustrating, if only I could break through to the True Qi realm, now I don't even have the qualifications to participate in the entrance assessment, how am I supposed to face my clan members when I return

Grandfather Jiang, let's go up as well

He did not pay any attention to the words of those people. In the past, when the Carefree King was present, no one dared to speak to him directly. However, since the disappearance of the Carefree King, the number of people pointing fingers at him has increased, and how could he possibly lower himself to their level?

Ling Dao said in a low voice that as the heir of the Carefree King, he had naturally heard of the notorious name of the Death-Defying Tower. The Death-Defying Tower is an exceedingly fearsome organization; as long as the bounty is sufficient, they would dare to assassinate even the emperor of the Great Luo Dynasty.

The Great Luo Dynasty once dealt with the Death Tower, but the outcome was that all royal family members, except for the crown prince, were assassinated. Their heads were even hung at the city gate of the capital. Had it not been for the Death Tower's reluctance to allow the extinction of the Great Luo Dynasty's royal family, it is likely that the crown prince's head would also have been displayed at the city gate. Since then, the Great Luo Dynasty has never dared to confront the Death Tower again

The words were resonant, and within the voice lay a sense of determination. Ling Dao slowly walked towards the inner sanctum of the Tianwu Sect; his steps were unhurried, yet they were imbued with an indomitable momentum

I am fifteen years old, and although I am not a true Qi Realm martial artist, I still wish to join the Heavenly Martial Sect

Oh, such a frail person wishes to join the Heavenly Martial Sect? Do you think the Heavenly Martial Sect is just any place?

The fate of human lives is in my hands, as flowers bloom and wither in the Death Tower! It turns out to be the killer from the Death Tower!

The surroundings were teeming with people, many youths of similar age to Ling Dao wore expressions of excitement on their faces. If they could become disciples of the Tianwu Sect, their futures would be boundless. Naturally, their elders also hoped that they could join the Tianwu Sect.

Emperor Tianwu

At the foot of the mountain, there stands a massive stone tablet, upon which are intricately carved the three large characters "Tianwu Sect." The calligraphy is dynamic and vigorous, exuding a grand and imposing aura, radiating a magnificent presence. Such a stone tablet alone possesses such an extraordinary atmosphere, truly astonishing

Seven days later, Jiang Zhong and Ling Dao finally arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Tianwu Sect was located. Fortunately, during these seven days, they did not encounter any assassination attempts; otherwise, it would have been uncertain whether they could reach the Tianwu Sect.

Ling Dao's complexion was pale, appearing extremely weak. The young geniuses who aspired to join the Tianwu Sect naturally began to mock him one by one. After all, Ling Dao stood among them, looking too much like an outlier. It was exceedingly difficult to become a disciple of the Tianwu Sect, and a frail person like Ling Dao seemed unlikely to succeed.

The Carefree King once mentioned the Death Tower, a killer organization that is spread across various locations. The master of the Death Tower is elusive, rarely seen. The Death Tower of the Great Luo Dynasty is merely a branch. Yet, this very branch dared to assassinate the emperor of the Great Luo Dynasty, which is enough to demonstrate the terror of the Death Tower

Despite being injured, Jiang Zhong was well aware that staying here could very likely cost him his life. Just a single True Qi Realm assassin had nearly taken his life. Within the Death-Claiming Tower, there were countless assassins capable of killing both of them

As long as Your Highness can join the Heavenly Martial Sect and acquire a full set of skills, you will undoubtedly surpass the princes in the future. I believe that Your Highness will certainly excel beyond your predecessors!

A large flag sways in the wind, bearing the following two sentences. The Tianwu Sect is naturally very strict in accepting disciples. Those over the age of 16 are not accepted, and those who have not reached the True Qi realm before the age of 16 are also not accepted

Your Highness, do not take their words to heart. Rest assured, even if they are unable to join the Heavenly Martial Sect, Your Highness will still be able to join!

Your Highness, do not think too much, let us leave here quickly to avoid being caught by other assassins

It is urgent to hurry; once we reach the Tianwu Sect, Your Highness will be safe

All individuals aged sixteen and above, please leave voluntarily! All those who have not reached the realm of true energy, return whence you came!

Many people, it seems we have not missed the time, Tianwu Sect is currently recruiting disciples

Alas, there is no way out; I am getting older and can only leave. In this lifetime, there is no hope of joining the Heavenly Martial Sect!

In front of Jiang Zhong and Ling Dao, there were countless figures, jostling against each other. Jiang Zhong appeared extremely pleased; as long as Ling Dao could join the Tianwu Sect, he would be at ease. His injuries were quite severe, and even with his previous foundation, he did not know how much longer he could live.

Ling Dao did not leave this place; instead, he walked towards the gate of the Tianwu Sect. He was not a true Qi Realm expert at all, and he even appeared weaker than an ordinary person. Since he did not meet the requirements, why did he still want to enter the Tianwu Sect? Did he dare to provoke the Tianwu Sect?

Jiang Zhong's words caused the expressions of the few individuals who had just mocked Ling Dao to change dramatically. Those who can be referred to as His Highness are certainly not ordinary people. They are merely typical geniuses, and with such powerful backgrounds, they naturally cannot afford to provoke them

Ling Dao is now fifteen years old, not yet sixteen, but he is also not a strong practitioner of True Qi. There is no need for him to participate in the entrance examination; he has already been directly excluded. It seems that he no longer has any opportunity to join the Tianwu Sect.

The Heavenly Martial Sect is indeed a true powerhouse, and recruiting disciples is naturally no trivial matter. Thinking of the entrance examination of the Heavenly Martial Sect, Jiang Zhong's expression turned grim. Given Ling Dao's situation, it is likely that he would not be able to pass the entrance examination

The Death Building is indeed formidable, but an assassin organization would not confront the Heavenly Martial Sect head-on. The Heavenly Martial Sect is a major power that stands on equal footing with the Da Luo Dynasty. As long as Ling Dao remains within the Heavenly Martial Sect, he should not have to worry about his life.

The Deathly Tower and the Carefree Prince's Mansion have never had any grievances. Their attack on the Carefree Prince's Mansion must have been commissioned by someone else. Taking money from others to eliminate their troubles is the principle of the Deathly Tower

Some young people who do not meet the requirements are all downcast. The Tianwu Sect is indeed powerful, but unfortunately, the entry is too difficult; they have already been eliminated before they could participate in the assessment. However, soon their attention was focused on a young man.

In Ling Dao's heart, he had already vaguely guessed the mastermind behind it. The greatest suspect for orchestrating such a large-scale operation involving the Deathly Tower was undoubtedly the royal family of the Da Luo Dynasty. They had long harbored fears of the Prince of Freedom, and now that he had disappeared, it was only natural for them to use the Deathly Tower to eliminate him, the Crown Prince.
