Rebel: The Inheritance System

Chapter 9 - The Test

A few minutes later, when the laughter stopped, Kong Yi Tian straightened his shirt, put on a serious face and said, "Show us. Since you are here, your family elders should have already told you about how we pick disciples and without a cultivation technique, it means that this is the way you have been practising and is planning to join the test with this method so it is not something that you need to hide."

He eyes scanned the area around me and say in a commanding tone, "Everyone move further away and give him some space!"

After everyone moves away from me, I Grab the spirit stone and get into a combat stance.

(I should use Spiral Punch. While I have mastered Drill Punch, I've never really practised it according to the system, and I think that since I could modify the martial technique, the modified technique will show my genius to the people from the sect and impress them!)

In the combat stance, with my right leg behind my left in a slightly crouched position, I draw back my right arm. It looks a little similar to how a baseball pitcher throws his pitch except that I am not standing sideways and both my feet are on the ground.

I start manipulating the qi in my arms, causing a suction force on my left fist to draw the qi out from the spirit stone and drive it towards my right fist. I start swirling the qi in my arm to execute the drill punch and as I punch out, twist my arm even more and when the qi reaches my fist, I push it out and swirl it even more.

BOOM!!!

The explosion this time is bigger as I used more qi and the suction force created is stronger. I put in my best effort to impress the people from the sect. I can't wait for the praise they will give me!

All 5 of them are visibly sporting a look of curiosity on their faces now. Even Chang Qi Yue who was previously angry at me seems to be genuinely interested in my genius!

Chang Qi Yue stretches out his hand and says "Give me your spirit stone."

I pass the spirit stone to him and he starts looking at it. He frowns and passes it around. Everyone from the sect takes the spirit stone and look at it carefully.

He frowns as he looks at me and says "You won't pass the talent test. You would need to punch constantly for around 30 minutes at this rate to fully absorb the spirit stone. Such a method is too inefficient. I guess it would help you master martial techniques but cultivating this way would impede your cultivation in the long run. There is no need for you to join the absorption test as you would definitely fail."

When everyone from the immortal sects had examined the spirit stone, the last person returned the spirit stone to me.

Feng Lian Hua then stepped out after thinking for a while.

"First, let me explain what will happen if you pass the test and introduce the sects to everyone here. If we deem you have talent in cultivation, we will approach you and invite you to join our sect. if you decline, you would have to ask the other representatives from the other sects that you are interested in if they would want to accept you as a disciple." He said confidently.

He continued explaining that "While the drill punch is a basic martial technique and you have shown a tiny amount of talent in the martial way, at the end of the day, we are looking for talented people in cultivation. The only sects with fist techniques that will appreciate what you have done with drill punch are the Four Divine Beasts Valley which I belong to, and the Divine Blood Valley."

Feng Lian Hua looks towards Li Jian Ming and continues with her introduction of the sects, "Quanzhen Sect focuses on the heavenly ways and specialises in the sword and formations while the Qing Yu Sect only accept female disciples and the martial techniques they learn are all created for women."
