"Yun Cai Peak has a history that extends even longer than several dynasties and even empires," Instructor Rui emphasized to the class. "More than three thousand years of history were produced in these walls. Centuries of experience and talent are what built Yun Cai Peak into what it is today. During the mid-Zhi dynasty in what was once known as the Xian State, our founder, Master Zhao, created Yun Cai Peak. Originally Yun Cai Peak was a small sect; composed of one master, ten inner sect disciples, and…-

"This," heaving up the stone steps, I grit my teeth as I force myself to continue upwards. "Sucks!" Finally, atop a short landing, I can let myself get some rest. Dropping down the two buckets of water, I stretched my weak, shaky, and sore arms. How the hell did we get roped into this again? Oh right. It's thanks to our 'wonderful' Master. After the Senior Sister and I returned to Yu Lan Peak, our 'gracious' Master started our training immediately. Who would've thought it would be just a super long…

"Are we there yet," my legs were killing me! "We'd get there faster if you would stop dragging your feet," Senior apathetically replied as she kept on moving forward along the forest path. Ah! How does this young missy have so much stamina? Senior, I mean, Senior Sister, and I have been walking for what seems to be an hour, if not more. It's been a day since we've been admitted into Yun Cai Peak and accepted in as inner sect disciples, and now the two of us are on our way to retrieve our rewards and…

"Congratulations to you all for passing this year's entrance exams," Sect Master Qing Shui smiled as the crowd collectively cheered. "I'm very proud that my humble sect has received such a talented bunch this year. I'm especially proud to see that there are some of you who are above the rest." "Senior," I nudged with a smile. "They must be talking about you." Senior looked at me from the corner of her eye and quietly scoffed as she shook her head. "Who knows…it's best not to assume things." I puffed…

Immediately, a rain of lightning came down on me as I struggled to maintain a barrier around me. I had already exhausted the majority of my strength and qi from the two previous trials and fighting that sand snake, and I couldn't keep this barrier up forever. Large cracks were already forming on the surface as the lightning chipped away at its transparent cover. I quickly converged my soul energy, and whatever qi, I had to prepare myself for the next wave of attack. Slowly easing back the barrier, I felt…

"So, Senior, what brings you to Yun Cai Peak," the green girl, who's named Zhu Na Ran asked as I watched her flounced down the stone stairs. I found after interacting with her for a bit that she can be extremely friendly. Which worried me a bit. Isn't this girl a little trusting of those that she meets? Stopping in her path, she turns her head back and smiles. "Eh? Aren't you coming?" Realizing that I had stopped walking, I continued walking down. "Personal reasons," I answered as I followed after Zhu…

"Whew," pulling myself over the edge of the cliff, I plopped my tired body onto the cold stone floor. Caressing the rocky floor with tired hands, I couldn't believe how much I missed the solid ground. "Sweet, sweet solid ground…" Who knew such a serene-looking sect would have such vicious tests! Within a day, I have fought against three monsters, climbed out of seven traps, and had to climb a cliff face just to make it to the exit finally! I'm lucky that I was able to make it out with minor injuries!…

"Hmm, what happened here?" An arrogant young man dawned in blue walked into a clearing of the testing grounds. Crouching down, the young man analyzes what seems to be hints of a scuffle. A fight that appeared relatively recent at that. "Interesting," he smiles as he picks up a shard of ice from the earthen forest floor. It's translucent surface glimmering in the mid daylight as it slowly melts in the warmth of the young man's long fingers. "It must have been quite a fight." "Host, it appears we've…

In the distance, an elegant white figure danced with blades of ice as she skillfully dodged the attacks of a giant stone statue with swift movements. "Wow! It is her," I continued to gape at Senior's proficient abilities as she fluttered around the stone puppet like a butterfly; Her wings each slicing at critical locations. It's been a while since I saw someone so proficient in internal martial arts. To be able to create physical items with Senior's qi alone is impressive, especially for her age. She…

"Wait," Senior ordered as we stayed still for a few moments. "Alright," Senior removed her hand from my mouth, "They're gone." Finally, free to speak, I cheered at our momentary victory. "Did you see- Ah! You're leg!" Pointing at the crying wound, I cringe at the amount of blood weeping from the gash. Senior seemed unfazed as she gingerly sat down and leaned against a tree. Reaching into her sleeve, she pulled out a small blue embroidered bag. After pulling on the strings, a mini-portal appeared. Wow!…
