I slowly open my eyes, and I see canary eyes filled with concern. I hear an angelic voice
"What happened? Did you get attacked?"
Nothing happened Gao Ye, I just tripped
"No one gets this hurt from just tripping"
I laugh a bit and I can feel my body aching
I look at my arms and I breathe a sigh of relief. The pear is still right there.
I grunt in effort as I try to move the pear closer to my mouth
Gao Ye spots my discomfort and takes the pear from my hand. She gracefully guides the pear towards my mouth
"Aaaaah"
With a soft voice, I say
Thank you
As I close my maulers on the pear, I can feel it altering my core. My soul screams in bliss.
She scorns me
"Why were you just out in the middle of the plains? You know that's dangerous"
I think to myself
Guess, I was knocked unconscious for at least 10 hours. Seems like the forest is gone as well.
I proclaim to Gao Ye
I was trying to hunt. I'm still very hungry
She teases me
"Hunt what? You couldn't hurt a fly"
I playfully laugh at her teasing
With a loud booming voice, we both hear
"Everyone line up, it's time for the talent ceremony"
Ignoring the pain, I teeteringly stand up. I don't wish to go to the ceremony, but it is very sacred and I would be banished If I did.
My legs wobble as I walk towards to the door. Gao Ye spotting my unease grabs one of my arms and wraps it around her thin neck
"Let me help you"
She softly says
I spot her straining in effort as she helps me walk towards the door. She always did have quite a frail body
I take my arm off and with a gentle smile I softly exclaim
Don't worry about it. I can walk
As I slowly and ineptly walk towards the line, I spot the Miao
I can feel everyone eyes bore at my existence and I overhear whispers of them talking about my injuries and laughing hysterically at me. I spot a sole guy unfazed by my presence towering over everyone. He dawns a red and black hanfu with his electric red hair is medium length. Seems like that's Wei Han, the talent of our clan.
I feel the suffocating aura of the clan leader, Xian Shi,
He stand about 175 centimeters tall, around 80 kilograms, he's dressed in a white and gray hanfu, and his hair is balding and greying.
I had forgotten how strong a rank 5's aura felt as I stood at a peak of Rank
I feel like I'm trapped in a box and water is slowly submerging it
His voice echoes
"When I call your name, come up so we can get your measurements"
I doze off, not caring about the measurements
The only 2 I keep in mind is Wei Han and Gao Ye
As I hear their measurements, I quickly convert it, so I can better understand
Wei Han stands at 188 centimeters and weighs 95 kilograms, Gao Ye is a lot more petite being 157 centimeters tall and a weight of 45 kilograms.
Your height and weight plays a big part in which subcategory of Gu is easier for you to cultivate
I soon hear my name called
165 centimeters and 45 kilograms
I noticed I am a bit taller and heavier than I was in the past timeline during this time and then I wondered if something altered it
Then, a huge smile dawns on my face, realizing my new measurements fit perfectly into the subcategory of Gu I want and I am now looking forward to the talent ceremony.
The measurements continue and I'm pondering
Only 142 adolescents went up there, there should be 143. 1 is missing. Who could this be? I don't remember this happening.
