The middle-aged man who is floating in the air is the sect head of the Sundai region sword River Association outer court branch.
He towered over everyone with his imperiousness.
He was the only one in the hall that was able to levitate in the air. Which means he is the most powerful in the hall.
(So the ability to levitate belongs to the powerful class of cultivators).
Zeron was seriously contemplating inwardly
(But that maiden I saw when I first transmigrated looked eighteen at most)
(She can't be a powerful cultivator?!, But I saw her fight while levitating).
(Maybe she is a genius). Zeron sighed inwardly as he contemplated in thought. He then looked up to the sect leader, who had retracted his aura.
The sect leader was a fine-looking man with clear facial features and long black hair that reached his back.
He has a gentle vibe if you look past the imperious aura he just released a while ago. With a very clear and spiritual eye.
He was 180cm tall. With a lean build.
The sect leader, after retracting his aura, landed among the congregation of the elders.
They respectfully address him with a bowed head.
He waved his hand, and his qi materialized to form seats that he and the elders sat on.
""Ahh!"". There was a look of amazement on the new disciples' faces as a weird sound escaped from their mouths.
The old disciples looked at them and said "ignorant" while twitching their lips.
"You won't know our sect head is the number one cultivator in the Sundai region".
"There is nothing our almighty sect head can't do".
.....
In an elevated platform. the sect head and the elders were discussing the new student.
"Hahaha, elder Lei", "we sure got lucky this year, to recruit three superior quality spirit root disciples when we had only recruited two for the past ten years"
"I guess the heavenly dao is favoring my sword river outer court". Said the sect head.
Elder Lei, the kind elder with grey hair, only smiled at the sect head and said
"It is with the blessings of the sect head that we could get the three quality disciples"
((Damn!!!, What an ass kisser!)) The other elders thought.
The sect head just continued laughing as he was pleased with the sect acquiring quality disciples
After being jovial, he signaled for an elder to go and direct the matriculation.
The elder got up from his seat, and he was a very handsome man, not a white-haired or grey-haired elder but a young man in his twenties.
His name is 'Taren Zi'. He is most popularly known as 'Taren, the tyrant.'
He was the most talented disciple that the sect had accepted in a hundred years. He has a Superior quality light spirit root. Which is a special type of spirit root.
And with that spirit root, he surpasses his mates by a long distance. They couldn't even see his dust.
Every special type of spirit root is equivalent to one rank above, which means that his spirit root is a 'Great Quality'. Which is a dividing line between masters and ordinary.
Taren walked to the edge of the platform and smiled towards the new disciples.
"My name is Taren Zi; I am one of the elders. Today, I am going to tell you what it means to be a Sword River Association disciple".
With a serious look that makes your heart tremble for some reason. He continues.
"Sword River association is one of the top ten sects in the entire Sealore continent."
"Powerful experts exist within the sect".
"Experts which can dry ocean with a breathe"
"Divide mountains with a cleave of a sword"
"Travel thousands of miles in a single leap"
"The sect is located at the center of Sealore's continent. Where all powerful sects congregate"
"That place is the evolution and death of countless genius"
Tairen looked at the entranced new disciples and smiled. "But all this has nothing to do with all of you".
"Even I am not sure if I qualify to even go there"
"Why I told you all this is for you to know your ancestory and know that our sect is more noble than any sect in Sundai region"
"Though we are just a normal outer court, we are still disciples of the Omega sect". "Sword! River! Association!".
There was excitement on the face of every new disciple. They clenched their fist tightly to the point that veins were protruding.
They were all thinking ((I will surely enter the main sect and cultivate to the point I could cleave mountains and dry sea!!!)).
((So Elder Tairen have brainwashed them, the new disciples are such pitiful creatures))
((They don't know that they will be spending all their life in the Sundai region and still not amount to anything. The difficulties of cultivation breakthrough will wipe away their fantasy)).
It was the older disciples who were thinking that even as they maintained their serious persona.
...
Tairen Zi talked a lot about plenty of things. Like the first sect head who was from the main sect to the greatest genius to ever appear in the sect. To the rules of the sect and other important things that needed to be mentioned.
Zeron was very attentive throughout the three-hour-long speech. What he most understood was.
One. Sword River Association is a righteous sect, and it abhors evil.
He got to know that Sealore's continent was embroiled in a war between the righteous sect and the evil sect.
Two. Sealore's continent is divided into five main regions. Which are the east, west, south, north, and central regions. The central region is the strongest region' which is the center of the continent.
Under the five main regions are the tier 1 to tier 9 regions, which are decorated all over the continent. Tier 1 is the highest after the five main regions, and tier 9 is the lowest.
Sundai region is a tier 8 region. And in it are powerful cultivation sect. The highest level of cultivation level in the region is the Qi immolation stage.
The Sword River Association ranks first among all sects in the region, but there are signs of a hidden undercurrent' as recently, the sect disciples have been attacked when doing missions.
...
Zeron took in a deep breath in his home in the Elite accommodations.
"Sigh! I am going to choose a teacher in one month".
"During this one month, I have to improve my cultivation levels so that I will be on top of the new students"
"Tomorrow, I will have to go and test my strength in the training ground since I couldn't do it today because, after the matriculation, we are supposed to remain behind and interrelate with the older disciples. As it is tradition."
"Now I have to cultivate more arduously. Because in a month the first new disciples challenge match will be fought"
(I have to impress the sect, so I could get more resources!). Zeron thought.
With that goal in mind. Zeron went back to cultivation. As he sets a small goal for himself.
To break through to the fourth stage of body tempering. 'The Blood Refining'.
But will it be possible?
