The Primordial Paragon Of The Elements - Chapter 3

As Ling Tian woke up he thought to himself “Why the hell is it so noisy outside,” he got up and went over to the window and saw that the streets were filled with people. He could tell they were all of the 6 stage of Body Refinement Realm or higher and the older people were even more powerful. As he saw all of this Ling Tian realised just how important these sects were to martial artists. “Well, it’s time to get going I don’t want to miss out of the trails” Ling Tian mutter to himself before he went out the door and asked someone that was near him. “Sir do you know where I would go to apply to take the test for the sect” the man he asked responded to him “depending on which sect you want to join then there are different requirements. For example the top two schools the Lumus Academy and the Five Elements Order for those you have to be at the level of the 7th stage of the Body Refinement Realm at the minimum and less than 16 years old. But the other three, Saint Sect, Fire God School and the Flowing Stream sect the requirements are lower. For those, you only have to be at the 6th stage of the Body refinement realm.” After hearing this Ling Tian began to think about his options and ask the man “Why is there a difference between the first two and the second three.” “The first two are only sub-powers of the Lumus Sect and the Five Elements Sect from the capital of the Lumus Kingdom whereas the second three they are solely in our Fire province only their rank is in the order I just told you them in with Lumus Academy at the top and Flowing Steams sect at the bottom.” responded the man.

Now that Ling Tian had all the information he needed he thought about it “father said that I should hide my aura, so it looks like I’m at the 7th stage of the Body Refinement realm. So it is clear that he wanted me to join one of the first two powers this way I would be at the bottom and not considered a genius at the time I join. Right now it’s clear that being at the 8th stage is considered to be extremely gifted, and the 9th stage is a complete genius, so I should try and join either the Lumus Academy or the Five Elements Order.” With this thought, he went off in search of the two areas where these sects were, and he found them in just a few heartbeats because the Lumus academy had an extremely flashy display, but the one right next to it was the Five Elements Order.

Ling tian thought as he was walking over to the Lumus Academy ” I should try number 1 first right then go to number two if they do not accept me.” but just as he was about to enter he was stopped by two students that were both wearing the uniform of the Academy. ,”Sorry no one under the 8th stage of the Body refinement realm can take the test at our school, did you not read the sign.” The two students said to Ling Tian well looking at him with disdain. Ling Tian looked at the sign, and sure enough, it said they were only accepting the 8th stage, and up. So he responded with “forgive my mistake I truly did not notice I was so enthralled by the Lumus Academy sign I did not notice the other one, I shall be taking my leave then.” The two students from the academy saw that Ling Tian was walking away and did not bother anymore. But Ling Tian thought “It must truly be fate that only one school is accepting 7th stage Body refinement Realm Martial artist it seems I only have two choices and that is to go or not to go.” Ling Tian made his way over to the somewhat unremarkable space for the Five Elements Order and walked inside and asked the old man sitting at the table “I would like to take the test for the Five Elements Order what is required for this.” from which the old man looked up at him with a gaze that seemed to see though most things, with a spark in his eyes he replied “Those who wish to join us must first they must answer a question, Second be of the 7th stage or higher, third they must withstand that formation, fourth they must punch that stone, fith they must prove that they are not evil via a special test. The trials will begin at mid-day which is in 5 hours” Ling tian thanked the man and walked away he did not notice the old man looking at his back as he left with a spark in his eyes which slowly faded as Ling Tian moved out of his sight.

Ling Tian now with some time to burn decided to make his way over to the bar to see if he could hear any news that would be useful to him. As Ling Tian arrived, he heard some people talking loudly inside “what do you think of the Lumus Academy raising their lowest acceptance level to the 8th of body Refinement.” Said someone. “well it shows that they are trying to only collect genius on this trim to our town you must know that their school is connected to the Lumus Sect in the Capital of the kingdom and is even related to the royal family. They must be trying to make their school rise up above the other four powers and sects in the Kingdom and claim all the Genesis for themselves. “I feel they are just too arrogant as a hole because they have the backing of the Kingdom.” After listening to all this Ling Tian was glad as he thought “Thankfully I choose not to go to the Lumus Acadamy the sound like they are all just too proud. Although its good proud it’s not good to be proud to the point of being conceited, father once said that being too proud can cause you to be conceited and this will stall your training and that “there is always a sky beyond the sky.” I feel even surer that my choice to pick the Five Elements Order is the best choice for me as I want.” As he got up to leave to go back to his room to train that there was a man in the corner that was doing something very similar to him not talking to anyone just sitting there and listening to the other people. When Ling Tian looked at him, he felt that he should be at the 8th stage of the body refinement or higher which was quite rare to see in this town for someone his age. Ling Tian thought “I wonder if he chooses to join the Lumus Academy or another Sect.” with that he walked out the door as he left he felt the man’s eye flick onto his back and then go back to what he was doing.

After arriving back at his room, he proceeded to cultivate and solidify his foundation he had been holding back his realm to the Body Refinement realm and continued to strengthen his foundations, which he had been doing for five years now, but it was all he could do. Ling Tian did not have any energy gathering technique to help him circulate energy he had no clue how to absorb Spiritual Energy from the world around him his father never taught him. The Body Refinement realm was all about taking your internal Qi and circulating it around your body to strengthen it and the use it to temper your body. At this point Ling Tian was sure that it was a good as it was going to get. Which means that he had finished Body Refinement realm the only thing he had to do now was step into the next realm the Qi Condensation Realm and take the Spiritual Energy from the atmosphere and bring it into his body to cultivate, but this was easier said than done. Ling Tian woke up from his Cultivation “It’s almost time for the testing to start I should make my way back over to the Five Elements Order grounds for the test” Ling Tian said as he made his way over to the door to leave for the testing grounds.

Changed a few things in Chapter two like the Five Elements Sect to the Five Elements Order, due the five elements sect being in the capital. As well as a few minor changes that do not really effect the plot just fill in some of the holes in the plot.

I will try and let you guys know when I make small changes like this. If you guys catch any let me know so I can correct it. Im aiming for around 1,300 words on average for chapter let me know if this is long enough or if its too short.
