The next morning, everyone is gathering at the hall.
Xiao Han and the three are among them. They are fully rested and ready to go.
Soon, the middle aged man lead everyone out of the mansion.
The city lord is sending them off from the side.
Everyone is riding their horses toward the city gate.
At the front, is the middle aged man riding a unique mount. Behind him are the seven elders riding their own unique mount.
Then there are about thirty people behind them riding horses. Cloud and the other two are among them.
The grand procession is marching toward the outside of the city.
Whenever they passed, the onlookers nearby would watch in awe.
The guards at the gate line up and bow when they saw the procession.
They already knows who they are and they dare not stop them. They don't even lift their heads until everyone has passed the gate.
After exiting the city, the procession start moving faster. They march toward a massive mountain that can be seen from the city.
They move very quickly but they don't seem to get any closer to the mountain.
Even after hours they haven't even reach the foot of the mountain.
The journey is very smooth. Nothing can even slow them down.
There are rarely any beasts that would get in their way. Most would be scared off by the middle aged man and elders fierce mounts.
Some pitiful beasts that happened to be in the way would be killed off in a blink.
Cloud and the two doesn't even know how the beasts were killed. To them, the beasts just seems like they suddenly died.
They continue on in this manner without slowing down for three days.
After three days, they finally arrives at the Sect's gate.
The gate is massive and majestic. It is supported by two massive pillar as frame.
There is a massive white plaque at the frame above the gate. Bright Moon Sect, characters are written in a gentle manner on the plaque.
But even though there is a gate and frame, there isn't any wall around. Just a lone, massive gate standing there.
People can easily go around the gate and nothing would block them. But of course, that is only what it appears to be.
Two people are standing guard in front of the gate. They quickly greet the middle aged man and elders when they arrives.
Cloud look at the guards when everyone is passing the gate and thought that they are very powerful.
They are perhaps even more powerful compared to the guards in Bright Moon City.
After moving further for a while, they arrive at the outer ground of the sect.
They stop at a massive open area and the elders are lining up the newly recruited disciples.
Their horses and mounts has already been left at a designated place for taking care of them, near the area of the gate.
The disciples are now lining up in there rows and ten columns. There are exactly thirty of them.
They line up by rank. The people that ranked first on the previous competition would be at the front.
Cloud is at the front of the right most column. Behind him are Fang Yue and Xiao Fan.
The middle aged man goes to the front of the disciples.
Facing them, he speak, "Congratulations, you're all now a trial disciples of Bright Moon Sect."
Everyone starts to worry when they heard that. Trial disciples? Are we not a proper disciples yet? Some people asked in their heart.
"No need to worry. You would all become a proper disciples once you advance to Qi Gathering Realm." The middle aged man added when he noticed their worried face.
Some disciples exhale and relax when they heard that.
But before they can fully relax, the middle aged man added, "But you would only have six months to do that. If you can't break through by then, you would need to leave the sect."
The disciples that were about to relax tensed up again.
"But don't worry, you guys are the best of the best in your respective area so it should not be hard to break through by then." The middle aged man continue.
"I am the Head Outer Elder of Bright Moon Sect. My name is Yu Long. These are all the outer elders." The middle aged man, Yu Long pointed to the elders behind him.
At some point, there are nine of them instead of the previous seven. So there are a total of ten elders including Yu Long.
"Now, you will all compete again so that we can see more of your capabilities. You don't need to worry, there won't be any punishment if you lose." Head Outer Elder Yu Long added.
The disciples tensed when they heard they are going to compete again but they soon relax when they heard there are no punishment.
"But, you should still try to do your best. If you perform well enough, the elders including me might be interested in taking you as personal disciple."
The disciples is beaming when they hear that. Their morale rise, they are going to do their best now.
"There are also some rewards if you manage to rank first in this competition."
Everyone's morale rose even higher when they heard that.
"The rules are simple. It would be a death match. The last man standing win. You can defeat your opponent by rendering them unable to fight or pushing them out of boundary, of the designated area. No killing are allowed."
Just when everyone is wondering where the boundary would be, Yu Long snap his fingers and a light rectangle dome suddenly appears surrounding the disciples.
The dome is big enough for 30 people. If you are not pushed out then there would be no chance of accidentally passing it.
"I won't speak further, begin!"
