Ming Li didn't even know what fifteen petals means. However, he was disappointed when he saw the explosion. He used 100 plants but he wasn't even able to destroy the altar.

When he was creating it, he was hoping to create something that could destroy a small group of people, but the result he saw could only probably kill someone who was on a level a bit higher than dippy.

After the flower vanished, he heard the same voice inside his head "Passed"

Then he walked out of the stage seemingly disappointed. However, on the seats, everyone was discussing about him.

The two old man didn't say a word and decided to silently observe. They didn't know what to make out of Ming Li's disappointed expression. Because, Ming Li actually got the highest score as of the moment.

Each time an entry exam was held, there would be a different theme but the same scoring style. In the past couple of years, only Ming Li made the illusory flower to bloom fifteen petals.

The grandson of the sect master Chao Fuhua was only able to make it bloom up to 11 petals and it took him more than seventy breaths to accomplish it. Which displayed a clear difference in the ability of Ming Li compared to everyone.

The test continued, but Ming Li was the main topic of everyone. The succeeding examinees were ignored even if they had achieved high scores themselves.

On the waiting area, Chao Fuhua came to him again with glittering eyes. This time, his expression was full of awe towards Ming Li. He never saw anyone more skilled than him near his age group who wasn't a member of their family.

"Big Brother, You are suuuper amazing!!" Chao Fuhua said.

"Tell me how you did it! The way you mixed those 100 plants were like child's play. It felt as if you mix 100 plants on a daily basis."

Ming Li was really skilled because of his business in the branch Crystal Leaf Sect, but actually, even Ming Li was somewhat amazed on how much he improved after he stepped into body tempering realm. It was like a part of the plant art opened inside him, which could only be accessed if he stepped into another realm.

Chao Fuhua didn't stop bothering him until the second test ended. He kept on asking various questions even though Ming Li wasn't answering any of it.

While Ming Li was enduring all of the questions being asked by Chao Fuhua, a bell rang and a voice echoed out. "The second test has ended, Sixty people passed. The last test will begin immediately."

When the voice ended, a younger voice echoed out "The third test is about combat ability, Each one of you are already qualified, but the main sect is not like the branch sect. We only allow people who has enough ability to protect the sect!"

"The fight will be fair, you will have a battle with someone from the sect on the same realm as you. Also you will not be allowed to use any skill, instead you will be given 10,000 points to consume as currency to buy any plant you need to create a crystal leaf which you will use for combat. Each plant has a specific point needed to purchase them, so use your points wisely."

After the voice faded, a list of plants appeared in mid air. Everyone can use a scroll to list down their needed plants and it will be given to them immediately so they can create their crystal leaves.

Most of the plants in the list cost 100 points and up, there were also useless plants which cost around 1 point, but nobody paid attention to those useless plants. However, it was different for Ming Li, when he saw those plants which cost 1 point, he immediately listed 10,000 different types of it on his scroll. When he finished listing the items in his scroll, the scroll disappeared, being replaced by a cube which contained the plants he listed.

Ming Li was amazed on the grandeur of the test, It was his first time seeing simple scrolls with such effect.

He sat on a corner and started creating his crystal leaves. Nobody in the waiting area paid much attention to him, since they were also busy picking their plants and creating crystal leaves.

Time passed by and the voice resounded again "The time to create crystal leaves is over, Number 1, step out."

The person who was called stepped out and saw a man standing in front of the stage. He also noticed that at the center balcony, besides the two old men and Chao Mei, there stood another ancient looking man, he immediately recognized the man as the Sect Master of the crystal leaf sect.

His body slightly shivered when he laid his eyes on the leader of one of the most powerful sect, but he gathered his resolve and fought it out with the disciple from the sect using only the crystal leaves he created. 

Various skills were seen, explosion covered many parts of the stage as they fought relentlessly. Sadly, the fight ended as the Number 1 disciple loosing and not being able to enter the sect.

Everyone who was watching felt the thrill of the fight, and their cheering grew more as one disciple after another fought for their right to enter the sect.

Many disciples fought, some passed but some failed. When the fighting was getting a bit boring, Chao Fuhua was called. He stepped out of the waiting area with great pride in every steps.

He was the grandson of the sect master, so he wanted to be on top, even though he knew Ming Li was the best participant in this event, he felt that he still needs to at least top this third test and show his grandfather that he is the best.

When he stepped on the stage, the fight immediately started. Several crystal leaves were crushed which displayed various skills from both sides. Each one of Chao Fuhua's crystal leaves were of high quality. He does not have much, but each one could totally disable his opponent if it hit him head on.

Only after crushing fifteen crystal leaves, the opponent of Chao Fuhua stumbled on the ground panting heavily. He was bombarded with fifteen crystal leaves with great quality which caused him severe damage even though he was not directly hit. All of his crystal leaves wasn't able to defend him from Chao Fuhua's attack. "I surrender." The man suddenly shouted. So Chao Fuhua ceased his attacks and glanced at the balcony with prideful expression were his grandfather and sister were located.

After Chao Fuhua's fight the voice announced the winner, and the exam resumed again. Seeing an intense fight, the audiences became more lively and cheered nonstop for the preceding examinees. 

After some more fight, a voice resounded again "Number 150, step out."

Ming Li immediately stood up and exited the waiting area. Outside, he saw the same scene as the previous examinees saw.

However, when he stood in front of his enemy, he heard a weird statement from him.

"Ming Li, you will not be able to hide here on the crystal leaf sect! We from the black spider guild will eliminate you!"

Ming Li's eyes went wide when he heard the man's words.

"Shit! I'm screwed."  

He never thought that even in the Main Crystal Leaf sect there would be someone from the black spider guild. It was something that really caught him by surprise. His plans to stay in the sect was immediately ruined because of the appearance of this single person.

He immediately crushed a crystal leaf and attacked the man, everyone screamed with excitement when they saw Ming Li take the initiative, they have a high expectation of Ming Li, so everyone was paying close attention in his fight.

Ming Li overflowed with killing intent as he crushed one crystal leaf after another, when everyone saw this they became a bit disappointed. Everyone knew that each disciple were given a limited amount of plants to create the crystal leaves, yet Ming Li was randomly using it like an idiot. Also, each crystal leaf did not show much power like Chao Fuhua's crystal leaves.

On the other hand, the sect master was firmly staring at Ming Li, It was as if he saw something really interesting. After a bit, the two old men also had the same look on their face. Chao Mei was curious why her grandfather looked at Ming Li in such a way, so she decided to closely observe Ming Li's fight.

Ming Li didn't stop crushing crystal leaves. Not even ten breaths passed and he already used around 20 crystal leaves. Most of the disciples who took the test only created around 30 crystal leaves from 10,000 points, so everyone that was watching felt that the fight will end in no time.

Ming Li's enemy also utilized ten crystal leaves while fending off Ming Li's  barrage of attacks. Time passed by and Ming Li's attack became more fierce and decisive. He crushed powerful crystal leaves which caused the Main Crystal Leaf disciple to be pushed back. Ming Li's opponent was trying to wait for Ming Li to run out of crystal leaf and deal a killing blow afterwards.

However, after Ming Li used 30 crystal leaves, he continued to attack nonstop. The rate he crushed the crystal leaves also became faster. 35... 40..... 50... Everyone's eyes went wide when Ming Li used 50 crystal leaves. The Main Crystal Leaf Disciple also already used 30 crystal leaves, he was now badly injured since he has been saving his last 3 crystal leaves and only relied on dodging Ming Li's attacks.

Whenever they thought that Ming Li was out of crystal leaves, he immediately pulled out more. Ming Li's opponent felt fear as he used his remaining crystal leaves to defend Ming Li's attacks.

Despite his efforts to parry the attacks, numerous skills still passed through the defenses of his remaining crystal leaves.

It did not stop there, Ming Li continuously fired crystal leaf skills even when the man ran out of crystal leaves. The Man shouted "I surrender!" but Ming Li did not stop his attacks. He knew pretty well that Ming Li will kill him since he was a member of the black spider guild, so he decided to give up.

Ming Li's eyes went bloodshot as he continuously attacked the man. Everyone gaped in terror of Ming Li's actions. They never thought that Ming Li would be so blood thirsty and would not allow an examiner to forfeit.

At the sides, older member of the sect stepped forward, thinking of stopping Ming Li. They were a bit hesitant, since it would be more of a disgrace for the Main Crystal Leaf Disciple if he were saved by other sect members. So they decided to wait a bit and hope that Ming Li runs out of crystal leaf. However, Ming Li's consumption easily reached 70. Their faces flickered when Ming Li pulled out more. Most of them immediately rushed in the stadium and grabbed Ming Li then shoved him in the ground.

Then decided to confiscate the cube they gave him which has the crystal leaves in it. Inside the cube, they discovered 100 more crystal leaves. Their eyes went wide when they saw this, then they decided to silently take Ming Li away because there was a possibility that he cheated to create so much crystal leaves. 

The audience didn't know why Ming Li acted to viciously, but they were amazed on his display of skills. They didn't know if Ming Li cheated to create so many crystal leaves, but they were sure amused of Ming Li's actions.

....

On one part of the test area, Ming Li was being held by two Crystal Leaf Disciples towards a hallway. The hallway was empty with many doors along it. Ming Li was clueless on where these disciples would take him, however he was sure it won't end up in a good way.

While walking, one door suddenly opened. A man with fierce eyes, wearing green robe came out of the door and said "I will personally take him to the Apothecary Sect master."

The two men escorting Ming Li bowed then backed off. Then immediately entered a door to leave Ming Li and the man alone.

Ming Li then said "Are you from the black spider guild?"

The man simply smiled and calmly said "yes"

Ming Li knew that the man in front of him was far stronger than him. he approximately guessed that the man should be around 6th level of Body Tempering Realm. 

The man didn't show any signs of using force towards Ming Li, It was as if he knew that Ming Li can't do anything against him. His actions clearly told Ming Li that even if he use torment, he would still be not a match for him.
