The Torture System - Volume 1 Chapter 17 Crescent Faction
“I would like to take the test.”
“Ok, follow me. Wait here. In 5 minutes the exam will begin, until then you can read this paper. It has all the rules of this exam in it.” The elder said.
“Ok. (thinks to himself) I wonder how strong the elders that will be foreseeing the exam are. I couldn’t see through the previous elder… System, how strong was that elder?”
System,” The previous elder was Bone Refining Stage 7.”
“Oh, so that’s why I couldn’t see through his cultivation. It seems I’m the only participant this year…”
“The exam starts now. All of you can go ahead and enter the cave.” Another elder said.
“Alright. This should be very easy considering that I have fire resistance due to Undying Body. This heat… It’s definitely over 10,000 Celsius for sure. Though I don’t feel pain, I am feeling much warmer than I expected… System, what’s the temperature here?”
System,” It is currently 25,000 Celsius in this cave.”
“That’s just fu*ked up… Do they really think ordinary people in the Bone Refining Realm can actually survive in this heat? Any other person would’ve died unless they also had fire resistance or were already in the Soul Refining Realm. No wonder no one ever passed this test… It seems I have reached the end of the cave.”
“Well done. You are the first person to ever beat this test. Also from now on, you are an official student of the Sun Sect.” Chun Li said.
“That’s great. I am really happy that I managed to pass the test, it was really hard…”
“The test… How did you beat it so easily.” Chun Li asked.
“I can’t actually tell you… It’s a family secret and so I am unable to tell you.”
“I see… Follow me, I will show you where you will reside from now on. (brings Zheng He to the place) This is will be your new residence from now on. If you need anything or have any questions just ask around and if they can’t answer then ask to bring you to me. Also, it seems that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Chun Li. I am also the head of Crescent Faction.” Chun Li said.
“Crescent faction?”
“Oh, I must’ve forgotten to tell you. The Sun Sect is broken up into 3 factions. The Crescent faction, Eternal Faction, and Immortal Faction. The Crescent faction is the weakest faction while the Immortal Faction is the strongest.” Chun Li said.
“How do I get into a stronger faction?”
“Every year there is a test for people who wish to join another faction. As long as you pass the test that the faction made, then you will be able to join that faction. Also, the Crescent faction’s test is the same as the entrance exams. Also, those exams will be taking place in 5 days. I need to go somewhere, so I’ll get going now.” Chun Li said.
Ok, bye. So I have to live in a cabin huh? Well, at least I don’t have to pay rent… I guess it doesn’t really matter that much since the test is in 5 days. After the test, I will be in the Immortal faction. If the people in the Immortal Faction also have to live in these cheap as cabins then I’m going to have to teach the sect leader a lesson. It’s way too obvious how cheap he is.”
“Hello, my name is Chao Fei. I am also a student of the Crescent faction. I’ve been in the Crescent faction for 3 years. I am also your neighbor. So if you ever need anything, just call me.” Chao Fei said.
“That’s great. My name is Zheng He. And I do have a question for you. Do the people in the Immortal Faction have better places to live than the cabins that we live in?”
“They do. I heard rumors that the people in the Immortal faction each get a mansion. But I don’t know for sure since I don’t know anyone who’s in the Immortal Faction.” Chao Fei said.
“Alright, thanks. I’ll see you later then.”
“Same to you.” Chao Fei said.
Zheng He takes a bath and then proceeds to sleep.
