A day have passed after the ritual, and Ming Li still sat crossed legged inside the cave while watching Sappy's actions who was frantically going around the tribe.

The reason for his weird behavior was that because his brother already left without a word while he was unaware.

Nobody could tell where he went, and how he got out of the tribe, It was as if he suddenly disappeared without trace.

...

Not too far away from the tribe, Hu Siyu stood at a hill along with another person. This person was none other than Elder Hu Tao. He was the one who helped Hu Siyu get out of the tribe.

Without his help, it would have been impossible for a crippled person to get out of the tribe unoticed by anyone. 

"Master, Now that I am crippled, I would only hinder my brothers growth. I hope you understand my decision. Even though I will be gone from the tribe, my heart will forever remain in this place. 

"My last request would be for master to watch over my brother."

Hu Tao looked at him affectionately then sighed. Even after being crippled all he could care about was his brother's future and safety. This was why Hu Tao viewed Hu Siyu in such a high regard.

Even with his strength, he could do nothing for his disciple which pained him. Also he knew that cripples were not treated well in the tribe and were commonly chased out. Their tribe was a tribe which was defined by strength, so someone in Hu Siyu's state would eventually meet the same fate.

There was nothing he could do but sigh and nod to the request of his disciple.

"Master, I need to go now. I hope you can find a good disciple to nurture." Hu Tao bowed deeply for a long moment.

Then after a while, Hu Siyu looked at the direction of the tribe full of emotions as he closed his eyes and shifted his head towards the opposite direction while walking away.

Tribe Elder Hu Tao did not say anything and just kept watching his disciple walk away for the last time.

....

While the drama was taking place in the hill, Ming Li was trying his hardest to suppress his energy and hide his presence. He even took several pills for this. The reason behind was because he was also located at the hill where those two were standing.

Thanks to the puppet blabbering nonsense about useless seekers coming his direction, he had time to prepare and hide. If not, he would have been caught by the two.

Strangely, the puppet had far better ability to spread out its consciousness and stay undetected. Even though the two Hu Siyu and his master was still several hundreds of kilometers away, the puppet easily detected them and only muttered "Why are those useless idiots coming here of all places. Are they going to challenge the great me into a fight?"

When Hu Tao flew away back to the tribe, Ming Li sighed in relief. He also looked at the direction where Hu Siyu was going and kept it in his mind.

....

Sappy, was at a loss on what to do, when suddenly, Elder Hu Tao flew in his place and said "Do not worry about your brother, he will be safe."

Then without waiting for Sappy's reply, he disappeared and appeared far away continuing his flight towards his tower. 

When Sappy heard that short statement, his heart felt at ease. He knew that Elder Hu Tao was the master of his brother and fancied him more than anyone else. So if he said his brother was safe then he had no choice but to believe his words.

With his brother gone and the test over, he had no choice but to wait for the results of the test and prove himself to be better than everyone else.

Stolen novel; please report.

...

Days passed, and when the day for the announcement of the result came, Sappy excitedly floated above his place.

"The five people who passed the test and will represent the tribe in the tournament that will be held at the Divine Earth Sect will now be announced. The tournament will have three category: The first category would be fight between seekers on the first level up to the third level. The second would be for seekers from the fourth to sixth level, and the last division would be for the seventh level up to the tenth level of Soul Realm.

Then the voice suddenly paused for a second before resuming its announcement.

"The first seeker to pass the test is... Hu Lok who is at the tenth level of the soul realm"

Cheers filled the tribe as Hu Lok who had a stern look floated high above the tribe to be seen and recognized by everyone. Then the voice proceeded with its announcement.

"The second seeker to pass the test is... Hu Meiron at the ninth level of soul realm."

This time the cheering was more intense as a lady with alluring figure and beautiful face with brown skin floated from a group of people and proceeded next to Hu Lok.

"Seems like the woman is popular in the tribe. She also seems stronger than Hu Lok." Ming Li thought

While Ming Li was silently observing everything, Sappy was becoming more tense while waiting for the remaining three participant.

"The third seeker to represent out tribe for the tournament is... Hu On who is at the sixth level of soul realm."

The voice did not pause this time and continued to say. "The fourth person to represent our tribe is.. Hu Nuwa who is at the third level.

The two simultaneously floated upward towards Hu Lok and Hu Meiron. Hu On was a burly man with a lot of veins pooping from his arms while Hu Nuwa looked extremely fragile with her small frame.

Having heard the fourth participant, Sappy became more nervous while hoping for the last participant to be himself.

"The last representative is... Hu Quan who is at the first level of beginners realm."

Sappy's smile widened when he heard his name, he could never believe that someone on the first level like him would be allowed to join the tournament.

Normally, those who are at the third level, sixth level and tenth level would be chosen to participate, but since the tournament is still five months away, he could expect that the tribe would do everything to boost his level and increase it at least upto the second level of the soul realm for him to have  a chance to win against a seeker at the third level.

Sappy quickly flew towards the four seekers who passed the tournament and floated alongside them with stiff expression.

The four people alongside him were all popular figures in the tribe. All of them were disciples of the tribal elders and only Sappy was known as trash. Nobody even cheered when his name was called.

He knew that the only reason he passed was because of the amazing skill his brother taught him and because Elder Hu Tao probably rooted for him. Even though he haven't fully mastered it yet, the potential it showed was too great which took the elders by surprise. With that skill, he would have the ability to defeat stronger seekers in the same realm which made him chosen to represent the tribe.

"The five who are chosen will personally be trained by the elders of the tribe for five months. You can now all proceed to the Training Hall and stay there for five months."

Without even glancing at each other, the four people flew towards the training hall. Sappy followed closely not attempting to make an eye contact with any of those people. 

He knew that these people who were chosen were all extremely prideful and would not even bother to be friends with him or strike a conversation. So he maintained a straight face and proceeded along with them.

In the cave, Ming Li was also delighted of the results. He kept nodding his head as he said "Well done. Well done.. My investment were worth it."

With Sappy being able to be trained by the elders, he could also have the opportunity to learn along with them by using Sappy. Also, he would learn more about the tribe which could potentially be used to save his life later.

In the Training Hall, along with Sappy all of the four seekers deeply bowed in front of three amazingly strong looking seekers and behind them there were three were more seekers who were radiating similarly strong aura which caused the whole hall to be filled with pressure.

"As the tribe Chief, I congratulate you all for passing." Hu Goutin said with a smile.

"From today onward, each elder in this hall will help you become stronger than your current self. Those who are already at the third level, sixth level and tenth level should suppress their level and instead focus on improving other aspects. As for those who are below the peak at each category, you should increase your level to reach the peak of the category within five months.

"I will now leave you all to the hands of our capable elders for your training. Please make our tribe proud." Then the Tribe Chief walked away with another smile as he disappeared deep in the training hall.

Elder Hu Tao then stepped forward and said "I will personally oversee your training, Elder Shoushan will also train you all from time to time to achieve the best result."

Then he glanced at the five then said. "Hu Meiron and Hu Quan step forward" He then tapped his cube producing two small box filled with pills which he sent flying towards the two who took their step forward.

"Use those pills and focus on increasing your level. Hu Meiron, come to me after you reached the peak of soul realm. And Hu Quan come to me when you have increased your level by one. 

"Both of you can now go the the secluded room in this training hall, where the concentration of natural energy is more dense."
