Shining Duos

"Looks this place certainly got what we need." Taking a thorough look around Lun Yuo was surprised by the extensive quantity of books and scrolls they have. Many bookshelves were lined up row by row containing all kinds of information on numerous subjects.

Also accommodating the place was a decent size rest area if one d.e.s.i.r.ed to read in a calm place.

There were also all different types of cultivators here from rouge to even sect cultivators all taking in; valuable information.

Walking up to the receptionist Kazami asked a m.a.t.u.r.e cute looking lading;

"Hey, do you know where we can find books on the geography of the whole world?"

Giving him a warm courteous smile she pointed him to a shelf to the far left of the store saying;

"Just right over there, oh and remember if you want to read anything you have to purchase it first."

Nodding and saying thanks the trio wandered over to where she pointed and started looking through the various covers of the books on the geography of this planet.

"Hey I found "The most deadly places on Sopra" this could give us a clue." Taking out a blue-covered book with golden text on it Lun Yuo showed the other two.

"And I found "The Four Great Regions" this could be... hey come over here I sense a troublesome guest." Kuzumi pulled out a gray covered book with black lettering while also sensing a powerful person.

Naturally, Kazami and Lun Yuo similarly sensed it and went over to her to observe the scene.

What came through the front door got everyone to momentarily to halt. A towering imposing dominating man came through. He had neat short black hair, an athletic tone body, and a commanding aura surrounding his body. And he was wearing a green robe uniform indicating he was from the Launder Mercenaries but his uniform had 2 leaf symbols on it.

The thing that got the trio to even be cautious of this guy was the natural aura he had around his body and they could vaguely sense he was a Ruler Transformation cultivator! The realm that transcends Origin Formation and the dividing line in one cultivation journey, where only talents can make it through.

People became more apprehensive of this individual and didn't get in his way when he walked up the receptionist and asked;

"Have you seen three young youths wearing a strange short black cloak?"

The woman became a bit more serious when facing this man and replied;

"No may I ask why is sir looking for them?"

"Recent news had come up and the last sighting of three high-level members of ours are being reported missing even after we tried to contact them. They were last seen tailing three people wearing short black cloaks, if you see them don't hesitate to contact us and capture them, we'll handsomely reward anyone who can!" Using his power he added more base to his voice so everyone in the whole store can hear him.

And after finishing his piece he turned around and swiftly left leaving everyone to ponder who messed with the Launder Mercenaries?

All the while Kazami, Kuzumi and Lun Yuo was seriously complementing until Kazami eyes flashed speaking up;

"Ah I get it on that plump woman fingers there was some green badge on it but I sensed nothing from it and destroyed it along with their corpses. I guess that's how they stay in touch some way."

"Good thing we decided to put those cloaks away, any plans now? It's better to be safe than sorry." Kuzumi asked and making plan in a second Kazami responded with;

"Ok change of plans we'll purchase these books and go on to the test right now."

The girls agreed and they swiftly went to buy the books and taking in the appearance of the trio fully the receptionist became calmer and couldn't help but ask;

"These two books will be 20 blue jade crystals and I couldn't help but ask are you three going to take on the Great Cloud sect young division test?"

Nodding and taking out the crystals, the receptionist smiled once again and told them;

"Ah! Then you three better hurry it's the final hours of the test."

Straightening up the trio thanked the lady took their books and swiftly made their way towards the sect, all the while the woman had a strange look in her eyes while watching them runoff.

…

"Failed! Next!"

"WHAT THIS TEST IS BULLSHIT!"

Cursed a man in his thirties all tattered after his test.

Arriving at the Great Cloud sect the trio was led to a big open field where two divisions of lines were set up. One for people age 28-35 and the other for 17-20-year-old.

The trio was now on line waiting to be tested but from observing they could still tell this sect has a very high standard.

"Another failure huh, I swear 90% of the time we just hear failure." Lun Yuo said watching people disbelieving faces when they bombed.

"Well, their requirements at least for the average person and even for a genius is pretty brutal. The older division has to survive for five seconds without getting hit from a weak Ruler Transformation beast and then go on to tank a full-power attack from a peak Origin Formation with minimal damage and no rest in between." Kazami said while also finding the difficulty of this test to be a bit much. The older division levels will consist of 5th level Origin Formation to peak level but even for peak levels, it's hard for them to not fail.

"Yea and for our test given how everyone is in Spirit Formation of varying degree we have to cause significant damage to an Origin Formation stone beast and then they test our aptitude just to see where not cheating." And it was true what Lun Yuo said everyone was in Spirit Formation and rarely would one see a peak Spirit Formation talent at such young age here.

"But you know I can tell for all these impossibly high requirements they most likely have another reason for this test relating to that mission...but first look another one is going and this girl looks pretty good." To whom Kazami was referring to was a beautiful young girl with an elegant alluring look. She had long graceful orange hair an attractive face and a fetching body having big superb bust and a ravishing grand behind.

But what genuinely caught the trio attention was how she is in the 9th level Spirit Formation! Close to the peak and they can vaguely sense she has good Spiritual Special Qi.

The girl went face to face with a Stone bear monster that still stood imposingly over everyone even after all the attacks it faces.

Closing her eyes she opened her palm and on it, a powerful amount of golden Qi was gathering there. Her golden Qi eventually took the shape of the sword showing she has sword Qi! And this sword Qi compared to what Kazami faced was several times stronger and special from what he was sensing.

She flung her most powerful Qi hard and struck the monster;

'BOOM!'

The stone monster was covered up in a golden light and what came out was an arm that fell on to the ground showing with her power alone she completely severed it.

"Good! Put your hand to this white ball now."

A male instructor came towards after witnessing her work and as she instructed she put her hand there and infused her Spiritual Special Qi.

The white ball flashed golden for 5 seconds and then died down with the man appraising,

"5-Star talent you will automatically have a spot after this mission."

"WOOAH!"

The crowd behind erupted as out of every participant here no one manage to do as good as her. Not even the genius from the Yellow Sky clan did as good as her and he was a genius on the 9th level as well!

Although the orange-haired girl had a peaceful expression nodded and was then guided by another instructor to sit on another side of the field with the rest of the people that passed.

"Quite a performance, hey if these guys want a show let us scare them some, it could be some fun!" Kuzumi offered with a mischievous smile.

"I'm right with you Kuzumi-sis, what about you Kazami." Lun Yuo jumped in while also challenging him.

"Well, then you two better go first then but remember let's not scare them too hard don't want any more unnecessary trouble do we now?" An enthusiastic light enters the trio eyes as their turns were soon coming up.
