"You-You....." Riang started saying and her voice trailed off. She was about to call him a pervert when she suddenly remembered that they were both members of a dual cultivation sect, so they were both technically perverts.
"You what? Can you please complete your sentence as I have to go back to my house to do some important things?" Kai said in an annoyed tone.
But in reality, he was more tired than he could have imagined. He was trying hard to stay focused as he felt his mind swirling with different thoughts.
"Forget about that. You are going to take the core disciple exam right now without any whining." Riang said and started dragging him along with her.
Now, he could have easily teleported back to his house, but right now, his intelligence was lowered by about 80%.
He let Riang drag him towards the big exam hall without any problems. The hall was empty and Riang dropped him there and went to fetch others.
Kai simply stood there like an idiot and stared at the sun. If the original Kai saw himself doing such things, he would die from embarrassment.
Riang went to Junjun and told him that Kai was ready to take the exam. Junjun nodded and went to the outer court and Riang went to the inner court.
"A disciple is about to take the test to become a core disciple! Everybody follow me to the exam hall!" Junjun used sound projection to amplify his voice as it resounded in the entire outer court. As the name tells, sound projection amplifies your voice by 10 times.
A moment later, the outer court was full of outer court disciples and they started following Junjun to the exam hall. Similar things were happening in the inner court.
Riang was leading the inner court disciples to the exam hall and she dropped them there. All the outer court disciples and the inner court disciples surround Kai and stared at him.
The sect masters then went to the central court where the core disciples resided. The core disciples were always busy in cultivation so the sect masters had to personally go and ask them to come to the exam hall.
After collecting the core disciples, the sect masters returned to the exam hall with them. The sect masters took out two keys from their robes and plunged them into the ground.
The keys started glowing and were absorbed by the ground. A moment later, a huge stadium emerged around every single person present there.
The stadium was a dome-shaped stadium with a central stage and stands for people to sit.
The sect masters directed everyone to the stands went to the stage, where Kai was standing alone.
When everyone settled down, the disciples started talking in whispers and many pointed at him.
"Silence!"
"Quiet!"
Both the sect masters used sound projection and shouted at the same time. The entire stadium was now quiet.
"We are here today to see Kai, an inner court disciple, undergo the test to become a core disciple." Riang said.
"But didn't he become an inner court disciple about a week ago?" Someone in the crowd said.
"Yeah, he is right. I didn't even see him while he was an outer court disciple." Someone else said.
Soon, the entire stadium was full of complaining people and the sect masters had to silence them once more.
"Yes, we know that. But Kai here had so much potential that we have decided that he should definitely be a core disciple. Kai, please show them your cultivation." Riang said and gestured towards Kai.
Kai simply released a 1st stage hell spirit realm cultivation and the entire stadium plunged into complete silence.
"Now as I was saying, he will now undergo the core disciple exam. Usually, we have 10 other participants compete for it and the one who is taking the exam has to defeat them all. If the person undergoing the exam dies, then the one who killed him or her would become a core disciple." Riang explained the rules and the core disciples nodded.
The outer court disciples were sitting at the very back of the stadium, the inner court disciples were sitting in the middle and front whereas the core disciples were sitting in the first row.
Riang then formed a sinister expression and looked at Kai with an evil smile.
"But since Kai so strong, I will allow every single inner court disciple who wants to challenge him to come here and participate in this test." As soon as Riang finished her sentence, the stadium once again erupted with talking. Even Junjun had a shocked expression on his face and he looked at Riang in disbelief.
At first, Riang had thought about letting 20 inner court disciples challenge Kai. But after Kai had embarrassed her, Riang thought that this was the perfect time for her revenge.
But her plan backfired when she saw about 800 male disciples standing up and coming towards Kai.
"We will fight him." One of them said and the others nodded.
[ What would happen if he is killed? We have to stop it now. ] Junjun said to Riang but before they could do anything, Kai spoke up.
"I have to defeat the entire inner court?! Kai said- no shouted, for the first time.
"Why does he look like he is drunk?" One of them said.
The others also looked at Kai closely and saw that his knees were shaking a little.
"This is the perfect time for killing him." One of them said and he charged at Kai.
In reality, everyone Kai had healed or massaged had spread the rumor that he could please anyone by just touching their skin.
Every female in the inner court was charmed by this and refused to cultivate with any male inner court disciple. This led to them becoming mortal enemies of Kai.
Kai was feeling a little dizzy and spun awkwardly to dodge the attack. The disciple went by his right while missing Kai's skin by a hair.
The others saw this and also charged at him. He was spinning around in a dizzy sort of way which confused everyone.
"That's the legendary drunken fist." One of them suddenly said.
If Kai had heard that when he was still normal, he would have laughed rivers of tears. Him using the drunken fist? It was impossible to get him drunk, no matter how much alcohol he drank. His current state was a result of his mental energy being drained.
"Well, it's time to kill you guys." Kai suddenly said and took out a sword from his pendant. But as soon as he touched the sword, he dropped it.
Everyone stared at him, dumbfounded. Kai was killing people with swords a couple of days ago and now, he wasn't able to hold a sword.
Oh, the irony of it!
