Road to Be the God

Chapter 78 Divine Pill

Early in the morning, the sun shone on the earth, and the air was fresh full of spiritual energy.

"Clang!"

On this day, a bell rang throughout Jiuyang Martial Institution, and it lingered for quite a long time.

The tryout for interior disciples started!

Inside the dormitory area for disciples, Lin Tian naturally heard this sound. His eyes lit up. He took Regression Origin Sword out from the stone ring and tied it to the back. Then he said goodbye to Lin Xi and went towards the drill ground.

By the time he arrived at the drill ground, it was already surrounded by people.

Not all these people were to participate in the tryout for interior disciples, because the participation in the tryout demanded the qualification of the seventh layer of body cultivation. This alone was enough to filter out most of the disciples. Among the newly arrived 100 Martial Institution disciples, only two or three were qualified to participate in the tryout.

Therefore, most of these people came here to watch the tryout process.

"I heard that this tryout for internal disciples has rich rewards. The top one in comprehensive performance will get a Divine Pill! With that pill, a martial artist at the ninth layer of body cultivation can directly step into the Divine Meridians Stage!"

Someone next to him was surprised, "Oh my God! Such pill is taken out as a reward? It seems that Martial Institution takes this tryout seriously!"

"That's right! This time, there are many talents among the exterior disciples. Martial Institution naturally pays attention to them. It is said that in addition to the Divine Pill, there are some other rich rewards, which are extraordinary, too. However, only the five top ones can become interior disciples, and I wonder which five men will be the top ones this time."

Many disciples gathered in groups of three or two. From time to time there was a noise of discussion. Among them, those who weren't qualified to participate in the tryout were filled with envy and yearning, while those with the qualification were full of anticipation and excitement.

The reason for this was that the Interior Ministry was very different from the Exterior Ministry. In short, if one entered the Interior Ministry, he could get more training resources, and it also suggested his excellency as a Martial Institution's disciple. Once you were admitted to the Interior Ministry, when you finished the cultivation in the Martial Institution, no matter where you went, you would be welcomed.

In the corner, when Lin Tian heard such gossip, he was surprised.

"Divine Pill?" He spoke to himself.

Being able to bring a master at the ninth layer of body cultivation directly to the Divine Meridians Stage, this Divine Pill was truly amazing. It must be more valuable than the Jiuqu Essence Pill! Lin Tian's eyes lit up at the thought of such a pill. He was looking forward to it, too. If he won this Divine Pill, did it mean that he could directly enter the Divine Meridians Stage?

Around him, many disciples were also thinking about this Divine Pill.

"Divine Pill, with it, one can directly climb from the ninth layer body cultivation to the Divine Meridians Stage! If only I could get this pill!" A man said with yearning.

"Come on, stop your dreams! The owner of Divine Pill has been determined."

"Has been determined? What do you mean?"

"That Zhou Hao, you know? It is said that he has stepped into the Divine Meridians Stage, so he can directly enter the Interior Ministry without participating in the tryout, and this prize for the top one, the Divine Pill, will naturally be his."

"What? He has stepped into the Divine Meridians Stage?!"

Many people were frightened.

Jiuyang Martial Institution had been set up for hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, the number of talents who could reach Divine Meridians Stage before entering the Interior Ministry was no more than five. How could it not be surprising that Zhou Hao had reached the Divine Meridians Stage before joining the Interior Ministry? Many eyes of the disciples of the Martial Institution popped at this news.

At this time, someone questioned, "Zhou Hao has been already at the Divine Meridians Stage, isn't it a waste to give him the Divine Pill?"

"Waste? How can it be! Do you know the value of a Divine Pill? If Zhou Hao wins the Divine Pill, he can auction it off through the Treasure Trading Pavilion. The turnover will be at least two million spiritual coins, worth a piece of medium grade treasured armament!"

"This..."

A piece of medium grade treasured armament could increase the combat capability of a martial artist by 80%!

"Zhou Hao has stepped into the Divine Meridians Stage this week. Even if he doesn't participate in the tryout, the Martial Institution will give him the Divine Pill. It is reasonable. I believe that no martial disciples will have objections."

"That's true, but I still think it's a bit of a waste. Wouldn't it be better if this Divine Pill is handed over to other disciples at the ninth layer of body cultivation? At least for Martial Institution, that will be a good thing because that can help cultivate one more disciple into Divine Meridians Stage."

"Probably, the Martial Institution did not expect someone to reach the Divine Meridians Stage before entering the Interior Ministry. Now the reward has been announced so they can't change it even they want," The speaker rolled his eyes upwards and said, "However, if you think that's a waste, you can challenge him. As long as you win, the Divine Pill is yours."

"To challenge a master at Divine Meridians Stage? Isn't that a self-inflicted humiliation? I was just saying. Besides, I am just at the sixth layer of body cultivation, far from the ninth layer of body cultivation."

"You have the self-knowledge."

Inside the ground, voice came out.

Having heard these people's words, Lin Tian smiled slightly. The tryout for interior disciples was exactly the battle day with Zhou Hao. After he defeated Zhou Hao, this Divine Pill would be his!

Just then, not far away, a commotion came from the crowd. Two young men were coming here. The one walking ahead was in gold clothing, with inspiring looks

"Zhou Hao!"

Many people were surprised and made way for them.

He was the top one in the Exterior Ministry, and he was at the Divine Meridians Stage so many people showed awe in their faces.

Zhou Hao was accompanied by the other person, dressed in cyan clothes, of great presence. It was Lyu Sheng.

Lin Tian looked up at Zhou Hao and Lyu Sheng, and his eyes suddenly turned cool.

Both of them had been blacklisted by him.

Having felt Lin Tian's stare, Zhou Hao looked at him, "Brother Lin?" After a pause, Zhou Hao laughed, "The last time I saw you were in the trial of Exterior Ministry. When I saw you were dragged away by the Centipede Beast, I have been really worried about you for long. Now it is very gratifying to see you standing here unharmed."

Lin Tian smiled lightly, "Gratifying? But why do I feel your disappointment?"

"How can that be? Brother Lin, you must be joking."

Zhou Hao's look remained the same.

Lin Tian squinted at Zhou Hao and found that Zhou Hao's momentum had indeed changed a little, vaguely giving him a great sense of oppression. It seemed that Zhou Hao had indeed stepped into the Divine Meridians Stage.

Around, many people noticed their conversation, and they were all surprised.

"Who is the teenager with the long sword? He is talking to that Zhou Hao!"

"Come on! You don't even know this guy?"

"Is this man famous?"

"Of course! This man is called Lin Tian. He is a nine-star talent, ranking the first in freshman assessment. Not long ago, in the Exterior Ministry ranking trial, he ranked second of the Exterior Ministry, second only to Zhou Hao! At that time, he had just entered Martial Institution for only a month!"

"So powerful! In this way, after this tryout for interior disciples, this man will enter the Interior Ministry?"

"Probably! Although he is far weaker than Zhou Hao, his chance of entering the Interior Ministry is 70% at least."

"This..."

A lot of people were shocked.

Some of the senior disciples were embarrassed. A new disciple was more famous than them!

Lin Tian naturally heard these comments but he did not care at all.

Looking to Lyu Sheng, Lin Tian gave a faint smile, "Speaking of the last time we met in the Dark Forest, you must have got a lot of benefits from our meeting, right?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about!" Lyu Sheng said coldly.

Lin Tian said with fake confusion, "Really? After our meeting in the Dark Forest, didn't you tell the Mo family that I was in it? You know, I and the Mo family are enemies and the Mo family has been trying to kill me, so you inform the Mo family of my whereabouts, for a great sum of money."

Lyu Sheng snorted, "Don't guess my noble soul with your dirty heart! I am frank and forthright, so I disdain such an act! That Mo's people went to the Dark Forest to kill you has nothing to do with me!"

Lin Tian squinted, "Oh? Then how do you know the Mo family went to the Dark Forest to kill me? I didn't mention it. Or, before the killing action, does the Master of the Mo family have to report to you first?"

"I..."

Lyu Sheng was suddenly tongue-tied and his face fell.

Lin Tian sneered, "Your noble soul? Frank and forthright?"

He stared at Lyu Sheng, with a killing intention brewing in his eyes.

Facing such cold eyes, Lyu Sheng couldn't help but tremble, and he retreated.

Just then, another bell rang in the drill ground.

"Clank!"

This bell was louder than the first one.

The bell was a call to contestants of the tryout for interior disciples.

Lin Tian looked toward the origin of the bell, where there was a high platform, which was newly built for the tryout for interior disciples. When the bell rang, everyone here walked towards the high platform.

Soon, it became empty here.

After a cold glance at Lyu Sheng, Lin Tian turned away.

Zhou Hao did not care much about the bell. He called Lin Tian, with a faint smile, "Brother Lin, wait a minute. Three months ago, we set today as the battle day. You don't forget that, right?"

Lin Tian stopped and looked back at Zhou Hao, narrowing slightly his eyes.

Moments later, he smiled, "Of course, I remember that, very clearly."

Zhou Hao laughed, "That's good. Well, our battle will come right after the name list of the interior disciples is determined. How do you like that?"

Lin Tian stared at Zhou Hao for a while, and his smile was more intense, tainted with some evil, "That's my decision, too."

As the words fell, Lin Tian turned directly toward the high platform.

Looking at Lin Tian's distant back, Lyu Sheng's eyes showed venom.

"This bastard! He is so arrogant!"

Lyu Sheng clenched his fist.

"An arrogant man doesn't live long so no need to be angry with him." Zhou Hao laughed.

Lyu Sheng said in confusion, "Young master Zhou, what do you mean?"

Zhou Hao did not answer Lyu Sheng and he was still smiling. He said, "I just checked. He is now at the ninth layer of body cultivation."

"What!? How can it be?!"

Lyu Sheng was startled. He had entered the Jiuyang Martial Institution for more than a year, and now he was just at the eighth layer of body cultivation, while Lin Tian, who had entered the Martial Institution for merely three months, now actually had reached the ninth layer! Lin Tian had surpassed him!

"With his current strength, he should be able to get into the Interior Ministry."

Zhou Hao still had a smile on his face.

Lyu Sheng covered his surprise and looked at Zhou Hao's smile in confusion. He carefully said, "Young master Zhou, I do not understand, that Lin Tian can enter the Interior Ministry, is not a good thing, why do you... Why do you look so happy?"

Zhou Hao was still smiling, but his eyes showed venom, "When the list of interior disciples is determined, everyone finds himself in the list will be happy. At that very moment, if he suddenly had an accident resulting in physical disability or death, would he feel that the whole world is darkened in that instant?"
