RuiHaan from across the hall couldn't hold back anymore and whispered under his breath even though everyone could hear him, "Wei Ying, Elder Liu can hear you."
Wei Ying whipped his in RuiHaan's direction and glared at him, "You brought me here, I will deal with you later!"
Raising his hands in surrender RuiHaan smiled and stopped annoying Wei Ying.
Bearing his teeth Wei Ying looked at Elder Teng and asked, "Why am I here?"
Elder Teng shook his head and asked, "Didn't your guardian tell you?"
Wei Ying shook his head.
Realising something, Elder Teng's gaze turned sharp and glared at Wei Ying, "Why are you late?"
Wei Ying pointed to behind him, frowning then he pointed in front of him, frowning deeper he pointed to the left then the right. Seeing his confused and frowning face Elder Teng asked, "What are you pointing at?"
Wei Ying, "Which way is the statue in front of the library pavilion?"
Elder Teng, "To your left."
Grinning, Wei Ying pointed to his left and said, "I was reading the message on the stone plaque."
Elder Teng and the others were surprised when they heard this but didn't show it on their faces.
Elder Liu, "You can really read what's written on the plaque?"
Wei Ying looked at him and smiled saying, "Yes, it's the reason why I took so long."
Elder Teng, "Really?"
Elder Liu, "That's true, both brother Ren and I saw him standing in front of the statue frowning, come to think of it, why were you frowning?"
All eyes were on Wei Ying who was still smiling but suddenly his smile froze and it dropped, looking at the gazes he looked down at the ground and answered, "It took me sometime to decipher the ancient words and the reason why I was frowning is because…"
Suddenly remembering something he lifted his head and looked at Elder Teng saying, "Why am I here?"
Elder Teng placed his hand on Wei Yings shoulder, from the day he met Wei Ying he could see that something was troubling his and seeing that Wei Ying didn't continue his answer he left it and told everyone via mental transmission, to not dig into Wei Yings reasoning because they don't know who he is and what he is capable of yet.
Elder Teng, "Everyone here is looking for a talented individual to mould and back in order to grow their sect. We will be testing out your talent and maybe you will be chosen by one of the sects and learn under them and the academy for the next few years."
Wei Ying, "But what if I am not chosen?"
Elder Teng, "How can you not be chosen… I wouldn't have told you to return today if I didn't see potential in you."
Wei Ying looked at Elder Teng and frowned.
Elder Teng, "What's with your reaction?"
Wei Ying, "No one can be so kind hearted." After saying this Wei Ying swept his gaze over the cultivators in the hall making them all frown.
Elder Teng, "It doesn't matter besides, you already told me that when you were sent away by your parents you were a three star Star level cultivator and you skipped three realms by yourself so how can you not be talented?"
Wei Ying, "But I am useless…"
Elder Teng, "Nonsense!"
Wei Ying jumped hearing Elder Teng yell at him, tears started welling up in his eyes.
Elder Teng was caught off guard by Wei Ying sudden change in emotions, feeling a little helpless, "Don't cry aren't you a man?"
Wei Ying placed his hand on his nose embarrassed, "Elder…"
Elder Teng, "..."
Shaking his head, Elder Teng pulled Wei Ying to a table on the far right and started, "Place your hand above a weapon and if the weapon lights up you can pick it up but of the weapon doesn't light up, move your hand to the next weapon. Each weapon belongs to a sect that is present today and if the weapon chooses you, you can have it without compensating the said sect."
Wei Ying, "What if none of the weapons choose me?"
Elder Teng, "Then it is alright."
Wei Ying, "..."
Looking down at the first weapon on the table Wei Ying let his spiritual power circulate inside his body, closing his eyes he saw the shadow of his body in the darkness and the dancing green flames spiraling inside his body.
Soon he placed his hand above the first weapon and circulated his spiritual power to flow out from his pores and onto his skin.
When this happened the atmosphere in the hall turned dark, a ghost howl was heard then the laugh of a little child.
The sect leaders widened there eyes then looked at one another seeming to understand something, circulating their powers on guard against what was going to come.
Elder Teng was surprised too. He looked at Wei Yings back then at the cultivators in the seats sitting to his right.
Sending them all a mental message telling them to wait and not attack, convincing them to not hinder Wei Ying so that they could analyse the situation because he seemed to not know many things and he could even read what they couldn't.
The sect leaders calmed down and some even looked over at the three demonic cultivating sects who were also here.
Like the stone plaque said, demonic sects were allowed to study at Heavenly Soul along with the other sects in order to stop greater evil beings.
The demonic sects all had a trait, the Devouring sect had the gold flame, Scorpion sect had the red flame and the Qilin sect had the purple flame.
Looking at Wei Ying's poison green flame they all thought of something similar from the books that they read while cultivating at Heavenly Soul.
Seeing that the first weapon, second weapon and third weapon didn't light up, Wei Ying kept moving on.
He opened his eyes and looked up at the ceiling then looked at all the cultivators who looked distressed. Wei Ying stopped in his tracks looking at Elder Teng who was frowning.
Wei Ying, "Should I stop?" he asked with a scared look on his face.
Elder Teng squinted his eyes and asked, "Why when no weapon has chosen you?"
Wei Ying didn't answer him and instead looked over all the cultivators who looked like they were going to attack him at any moment.
Looking down at his hand that was hovering above a bow and closed his hand dispelling all of the dark aura that was in the air.
The hall was clear again, seeing this they all looked at Wei Ying whose head was lowered and wiping something off his face.
Elder Teng, "Wei Ying?"
Wei Ying didn't raise his head but still answered, "Y-yes?"
Elder Teng walked over to him and placed his hand on Wei Yings shoulder. This made Wei Ying look up at him.
Elder Teng saw the smile on Wei Ying's face and the tears in his eyes. Not feeling sure about what was happening he asked him, "Why are you crying?"
Wei Ying, "Won't they attack me if I continue?"
Elder Teng turned to look at everyone then looked back Wei Ying and said, "I'm stronger than all of them, they won't attack you while I am around."
Wei Ying lowered his head and smiled, he could see through Elder Tengs cultivation and although he was strong he wasn't as strong as his father.
Wei Ying felt warm in his heart, [Is he trying to protect me?]
Nodding his head said, "I don't have a strong combat ability, so I doubt any weapon will choose me but I will continue if elder wishes it."
Elder Teng, "Please continue."
Wei Ying, "Then I won't hold back."
Elder Teng, "You were holding back?"
Immediately after he asked this, Wei Ying didn't even lift his hand and the hall was covered in a dense green mist.
Wei Ying's eyes which were hazel previous were bright green with sparks of lightning coming out of them.
Elder Teng's eyes widened, he opened his mouth wanting to say something but heard, a scream. Looking in the direction the scream came from, it came from the weapon tied around the vice Headmaster of the all girls cultivating sect Rim Mei Ho.
The weapon was a chain that was bright pink in colour with purple crystals embedded into to it. This weapon of hers works like a belt and jewelry that was wrapped around her waist to hold her robe closed and not expose her inner garments.
The chain reacted to Wei Yings dense aura and wanted to go to him while all the other weapons on the table quivered.
The chain unwrapped itself from Rim Mei Ho's waist and flew to him and hovered in front of him. Rim Mei Ho closed her robe quickly and brought out a belt from her spatial ring and tied it around her.
Her face was slightly pale because the chain severed its connection with her and ran to serve Wei Ying instead.
Wei Ying looked at the chain in front of him and frowned, he didn't like the colour of the crystals and pink metal.
He took a step back and said, "Elder I don't want this ugly thing."
Elder Teng looked at Wei Ying and said, "It severed its connection with its owner for you and yet you reject it, do you know what this weapon is?"
Wei Ying looked at him and shook his head.
Elder Teng, "This weapon is crafted from the pink coloured meteorite from the heavens and the crystals embedded in it has taken billions of years to form inside the oceans volcanoes."
Wei Ying looked at the crystal embeded chain and shook his head saying, "Although I can tell that it is powerful, I still don't want it."
Elder Teng, "Why not?"
Wei Ying refused to give another reason, he didn't want to say that the chain should change its colour.
Hovering in front of him the consciousness of the chain slowly woke up and spoke to him, "Why won't you let me serve you?"
Wei Ying was taken aback by this but quickly answered without hesitation, "It's because you are ugly."
Crystal chain, "..."
Wei Ying, "..."
Crystal chain, "Why do you say I am ugly?"
Wei Ying, "I don't like those colours."
The crystal chain gave him a once over and said, "I can change myself to suit you."
Wei Ying, "You can?"
Then the crystal chains pink metal turned black slowly, next its crystals turned royal blue in colour.
Seeing this Wei Ying's eyes shined. When the chain was done transforming it asked, "Does this suit you?"
Wei Ying didn't answer it, instead he reached for it and grabbed it by the crystal that hanged in the front. Looking at it deeply he smiled then squeezed it so hard that the crystal cut into his hands making blood seep out.
Elder Teng and the others frowned seeing this, instead of forming a connection with it, he let his blood into the crystal forming a blood contract.
Elder Teng, "Wei Ying, what are you doing?"
