Kronos saw the lady with a scroll, He was suprised not by the lady but the scroll on her hand. It was A Supreme Treasure she was holding there. Then he decided to leave that matter for another time.
"Ahem, Listen all of you disciples." Said the lady holding the scroll which massed the disciples attention.
"There will be held a trial to select you all, So if you want to join the sect you should pass" Said the lady.
"But I have to warn you that there will be many deaths among you, Especially considering how weak you are" She said directly.
The disciples were shocked and nervous but hearing the next words of the lady, They beamed in excitement.
"There will be a huge reward for the first three places.....Now I will explain what is the trial and what the rules.
"This trial will be conducted in The SILENT TREE FOREST", She announced and Everyone was suddenly nervous and extremely excited because they knew how big the opportunity is and the dangers within it.
"There are currently 900 of you disciples. And there are 100 Gold lotuses in these forest those who will have it will become the inner disciples".
"And 300 silver lotuses. They will become the outer disciples, The timing will be 10 days,"As soon as she said this there was an uproar in the disciples. Not because of the difficulty but because of the time limit. That was like an all out war.
"And lastly don't even think of entering the core region of the forest". She said as she stepped down. "Ok now all of you can go, Here there are nothing called rules, That is the jungle how you survive entirely depend on you", Oh and who will bring in the most gold lotuses becomes a core disciple" She said as she waved her hand and all the disciples vanished.
As soon as everybody left suddenly the void distorted and came a beautiful figure, "Empress??!" The Elder immeditely bowed.
"Hmm interesting, So we let a mortal enter this forest huh?" She sounded suprised aside from and lazy figure.
...
Currently the disciples were on entry of the silent forest and they were all nervous, Then to first walk in was the green haired lady. And then some of the disciples followed her lead.
Then went the sword wielder, He then turned around and took a glance at kronos and then dissapeared inside.
"Does the young master wants to team up with me??" Kronos asked Rufus with a faint smile. And put hand on his shoulder. "No way " Rufus said as he dashed into the forest.
'Sigh seeing these kids working so hard for me really makes me feel bad, might as well help them." He said while chuckling.
Then walked into the the forest. As soon as he walked in he sensed something and tilted his head towards a direction and was suprised. "Oh that saves a lot of time for me " He said as he walked towards the core region completely ignoring the trial.
