165 First Tes

They flew toward the west of the mountain peaks. After flying for quite a while. They finally arrived. They have arrived in front of a cave entrance. Alex can\'t see what inside because it was pitch black. He saw Three people guarding the entrance, and Alex can\'t see their cultivation. From the look of it, they are a peak Martial Master if not Grandmaster Stage.

"Welcome, Third Elder" said the one who is looking like the leader of the three.

When everyone listened to what the leader called the old man in front of them, they were bewildered. \'Third Elder?\'

"Hoho, Let me introduce myself. I\'m the Third Elder of Heavenly Sword Sect, Dolf Kolk. I am the one in charge of this year recruitment" The old man finally introduced himself and turned out he is an elder from Heavenly Sword Sect.

Most people face starting to get pale. They were rude to the third elder earlier. Will he make things hard for them, or will he expel them right here and now? Even Kenshin was surprised by this revelation. He looked at Alex, did Alex know about his identity since he is very polite to him?

Alex ignored him and still trying to see what inside the cave. Alex also felt two other people gaze on him. The first one is from the Third Elder, and the second one is from Thiveapia Princess, Lena de Viona Thiveapia. She gritted her teeth, Alex polite action indirectly slapped her face since he came after her, but Alex never had any intention to do that. It was all of her selfish feelings and imagination. She promises to herself to defeat him in the test.

"There will be three tests. This is the first test. In this test, you only need to walk forward. Since you are going to be a disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect, I\'m sure all of you have a weapon that matches you the most. We will test your talent in weapon inside."

Alex and the rest were confused with the test. Only need to walk forward? Are there any traps inside the dark cave?

"Don\'t worry, there won\'t be anything like what you are thinking right now. You only need to walk forward, and there will be no obstacle in the way. The cave only a half-mile long" The third elder said while smiling warmly like it easy.

(0.5 mile = 800 meter)

"The test started! Please go inside."

Since the test has started, the people started going inside the cave. Alex also followed the rest and went inside the cave. He noticed that the focus of Thiveapia Princess still in him.

Alex walked carefully inside the cave. Alex tried to see what kind of thing inside the cave, that\'s why he activated his Spirit Eyes Technique. This technique not only can see slowly, but also can see the flow of energy, But Alex hasn\'t mastered half of it. When he activated the Spirit Eyes, he can see there is a kind of energy lingering inside the cave but not a Spiritual Energy. But because Alex\'s level is too low in this technique, he can\'t see the quantity or quality of the energy nor know what it is. He only knows there is an energy lingering here, that\'s all.

They had walked for around 50 meters before someone suddenly dropped on the ground, fully exhausted.

*Pant Pant*

Alex frowned, who is that? Why is he collapsed to the ground? From his sound, it seems that he is exhausted...why? They are Martial Masters, no way a Martial Master tired just because they walked for around 50 meters. Then another person also dropped to the ground.

More and more people started dropping to the ground tiredly. When they passed a hundred meters mark, around ten percent of the group have fallen. Alex speculated \'that\' energy is what made them exhausted.

He didn\'t feel anything for the time being. He looked at Kenshin, who seems the same. Alex continued walking through the cave.

The people started falling to the ground one by one. There are around twenty percent of the group have fallen at two hundred meter mark.

300 meter...

400 meter...

When Alex reached five hundred meter mark, Suddenly he stopped. The Sword Intent inside him going rampage and came out from his body. He looked at Kenshin, whose Sword Intent also came out. Then he looked toward the other disciples, there are only around thirty people left from more than a thousand people. Several of them have exhausted, and seems can\'t continue any longer.

For the two sisters, yep, they are still fine. Only twenty five people who continue to walk. Out of them, ten people have Sword Intent. Alex can feel that the princess gaze on him in this dark cave. A troublesome situation, indeed.

When his sword intent is present, he finally felt the \'energy\' he saw in the beginning. It was close to an Intent, but it wasn\'t an Intent. He didn\'t know about this energy, so He didn\'t bother it for the time being since his task is to walk through this dark cave. After reaching six hundred meter mark, only around ten people left.

But when they reached the last one hundred mark, the only ones left are only him and Kenshin along with the two royal sisters. The older one starting to pant, Alex noticed it from her breathing. But, the younger one still didn\'t find anything wrong. She looks like Kenshin, unbothered.

When Alex stepped on the last one hundred mark, he suddenly stopped and let out a groan.

"Alex?" Kenshin, who was beside him all this time, suddenly worried. He was confused with the point of the test, and he didn\'t know why the people were exhausted and fallen to the ground. He didn\'t know the reason his Sword Intent suddenly appeared on the five hundred meter mark, He thought that Alex might know the answer, but since this is still the test. He holds the urge to ask him so they can focus on this test. But when Alex suddenly let out a groan, he becomes worried. Will Alex also fall like them?

There is still another intent in his body, it is his Spear Intent. When he reached the seven hundred mark, he suddenly felt his Spear Intent also go rampage like when in the five hundred mark where his Sword Intent was gushing out from his body. He can\'t let his Spear Intent out at this moment. He needs to hold it back in his body. He stopped and took a long breath. He suppressed the Spear Intent with his Sword Intent. He needs a minute to stabilize himself from that before he started walking again

Kenshin didn\'t say any words since he believes in him, the moment he started walking again, Kenshin immediately followed him.

On the other hand, Lena smirking while panting. She is happy when she saw Alex seems can\'t go on. She can beat him and slap his face after this.

"Elder Sister, Are you okay?" The younger one, Evelyn de Viona Thiveapia, in short, Evelyn Thiveapia, worried about her sister.

"Don\'t worry" She smiled to her sister in this dark cave, and obviously she can\'t see her. But when she felt Alex and Kenshin started walking again. She hurriedly walks again. But, the pressure on her starting to get heavy and take a toll on her body.

"Elder Sister!" Evelyn was very worried about her at this moment.

"Evelyn, you can continue to the finish first. I will take a rest in here a bit."

"But I don\'t want to leave Elder Sister" She timidly said.

"Don\'t worry about me. This is Elder Sister\'s request." She said. She can\'t let those two unknown people beat her since she also represents the Thiveapia Royal Family here. She gritted her teeth.

"But..."

"No buts, go now."

"Y-yes" Evelyn immediately walked toward the finish again. Unlike her sister, she didn\'t feel any wrong inside the cave this whole time. So continuing like this is a piece of cake for her.

...

A few minutes later, they finally reached the end of the cave. Just about Alex wanted to observe his surrounding, Kenshin can\'t hold back his urge to ask him his question.

"Alex, what is that cave? Why do those people start falling to the ground? Is there anything strange inside the cave to make them fall like that? Do you feel anything? Why you suddenly stopped back then? I am very worried about you" His eyes glistened while popping one question after another.

Alex grabbed his face and pushed him. "Too many questions, and you are too close. I\'m not gay."

"Umm... Can I also know the reason?" Suddenly, a timid voice come from next to them. When they saw who is it, they saw a cute but timid loli, her small face blushed while she is very shy when she said that.

"Oh, you are from Thiveapia Royal Family if I\'m not wrong" Kenshin said.

"Ye-yes. I\'m the eleventh princess, Evelyn de Viona Thiveapia. Can...Can I know the reason too? Why are the people exhausted?" She asked shyly, she is worried about her sister since her sister also like those people.

Alex sighed. He answered them according to his observation.? "There seems to be a different energy that was suppressing them. It was close to an Intent, but that\'s not it."

"Heh...You seem very knowledgable" Suddenly another sound coming from the cave. A female figure appeared from the cave exit. She looks tired and full of sweat.

"Ah, Elder Sister! I\'m worried about you" After she saw her Elder Sister, she immediately running toward her and hug her.

"Haha, you little. Elder Sister is not that weak" She pats Evelyn\'s head a few times before she looks at Alex and Kenshin again. "If I\'m not heard it wrong on the registration. You are Alexander, and the one beside you is Himura."

"I\'m honored that Princess remembered me" Kenshin politely said while Alex didn\'t say anything. He is complaining in his heart. \'What the deal with this arrogant princess? She was glaring at me this whole time.\'

"Ohoho, it seems we have an excellent seedlings this year." The Third Elder, Dolf Kolk, appeared in front of them.

...

30 minutes ago,

Dolf Kolk is observing each student in the cave. The two sisters are different else, the one he appreciated the most is Alex, the only one who was polite to him in the registration. He wasn\'t really well known, so he tried to pretend to be a servant from Heavenly Sword Sect to see the new disciples.

And suddenly, two old men appeared beside him. He looked at who they are and surprised. "Sect Master!"

"En!" The Sect Master nodded. "How is the new batch of disciples?"

"It seems that we have few good seedlings this year" He said, he was confused. The Sect Master was never interested in the new Disciples examination. How can he suddenly come to here?

"I will also watch this time. Is that a problem, Third Elder?"

"No, it is not a problem, but I\'m confused, why Sect Master suddenly got interested in this new batch disciple? Who caught your eyes that make you even come to here along with Seventh Elder."

"Well, it will only bring the opposite effect if I don\'t talk it clear enough, that\'s why I will tell you the reason. Do you know a new disciple called Alexander Sirius?"

"Yes, I\'m a bit interested in him."

"Ho, Is this Young Man do something unordinary?"

"Not ordinary, but it seems that his perception is higher than anybody else in this batch" He said.

"En!" The sect master nodded. "His identity is a bit special. And according to Seventh Elder, his talent is also very extraordinary."

The third elder immediately understood the intention of the sect master. For the Sect Master who didn\'t have any successor, and mentioned him at this kind of time. There is no other meaning besides \'that\'. He nodded, "Don\'t worry, Sect Master. I understood"

Unfortunately, he misunderstood his meaning, and the Sect Master can\'t be bothered to clear the misunderstanding. After all, it is also pretty convenient for him that way since Alex\'s identity still not clear.

"Don\'t worry. I will watch from a distance. You can treat me like I\'m not present and continue the test as usual." The Sect Master said, "And... Don\'t tell anyone about this"

"Understood" The third elder nodded.

The Sect Master and Seventh Elder went away. And the Third Elder places his focus on Alex.
