Chapter 549 - An unexpected choice

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

At this moment, most people had already arrived. The tutors and sect disciples stood in the large courtyard. When they saw that Sima You Yue’s crane didn’t have the two disciples from before, everyone was rather surprised.

“Where are the people who brought you here?” Someone couldn’t help but ask.

“They said that they had something to do, so they wouldn’t come with us. They got the cranes to bring us over.” Sima You Yue lied without batting an eyelid.

The tutors who had long since received news of what she actually did could not help but purse their lips. What they heard was that they didn’t discuss anything with them at all, but tossed them off directly. They then took the crane here on their own. Although cranes couldn’t be controlled by the average person, they knew that she had the king of the rocs with her. It wasn’t strange for the cranes to have brought them here.

It was just that those students hadn’t been trying to take advantage of the situation. They were merely placed there by the school in order to understand the character of the students.

For the others who had been threatened, they took out their items to pacify them. Otherwise, they would fight and use strength instead to force the other party to take them here. They were really the only group who didn’t even try to come to a compromise.

“Cough cough- quiet, everyone.” The tutor on the podium coughed and said, “Right now, you have all become our sect disciples. Next up, start to plan what you want to study. We will split you up into classes based on your selections. The first student, come up.”

The order was based on who reached the place first. That was why Sima You Yue and the others were placed last.

The first one went up, and the tutor glanced at him, asking, “Name, and what do you want to study? What skills do you know?

“I am called Wang Ming. I don’t know anything about alchemy and things like that. I don’t want to learn them either. I want to become stronger.” The male replied.

“Then that’s the spirit energy branch.” The tutor gave him a name plate, saying, “Wait over there.”

Behind the tutor was a name plate that wrote ‘Spirit Energy Sect’. That person took his name plate and walked over.

After that was the second, and the third…

Sima You Lin and the others didn’t come much earlier than Sima You Yue, so they were also at the back of the line.

“Name, what do you want to learn?”

“Sima You Lin, I want to learn arrays.”

The tutor looked at him after writing it down. He had seen that he was with Sima You Yue, and his performance wasn’t bad on the first day of the test. He had also walked to the highest level of the Heavenly Stairway.

The vice principal said that the few of them could have gone up higher, but they had stopped. Who would have known how much further they could have walked if they had continued on.

Just based on how high they managed to dash up the Heavenly Stairway, they would be able to get special attention from the sect. As such, he gave Sima You Lin a nameplate and pointed to another empty space saying, “Go there and wait.”

Sima You Lin took his name plate and headed to where the tutor was pointing towards. Sima You Ming and the other three behind him did the same.

Later on, another few tens of people stood in the same area as Sima You Lin and the others. Sima You Yue looked at it for a moment, and they were all those who had climbed up to relatively higher positions on the heavenly stairway.

When it was finally Sima You Yue’s turn, the tutor hid his excited heart and said, “Name and what you want to study.”

“Sima You Yue. I want to study medicine.” Sima You Yue replied.

“What?!” That tutor raised his head in shock. He looked at Sima You Yue and asked, “Student, are you certain that you want to learn medicine?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Sima You Yue didn’t understand why this tutor was so surprised. However, she still nodded and replied, ‘That’s’ right. I want to study medicine and become a doctor.”

“Dear student, our sect is exceptionally powerful in alchemy and arrays. We have many powerful tutors. Furthermore, our medicine branch has always been relatively much weaker. Do you want to think it over a little more?” That tutor looked at her as if she was a little seedling that he didn’t want to let grow crooked.

Sima You Yue shook her head, saying, “Thank you, teacher, for your reminder. I only want to study medicine.”

“You’re really certain?” That tutor looked at her with a pained expression.

“I am certain.”

“Sigh, alright. Then go over there and stand with them.” The tutor gave her a nameplate with an expression of suffering.

The others were also rather shocked to hear that she had chosen medicine. Especially so for Tuoba Yan Er and her group, who had seen her set up arrays before. They knew how powerful she was with arrays and initially thought that she would continue to learn arrays. Who would have thought that she would choose medicine instead.

The medicine branch was the most unexceptional one of them all. It could be said to hold the lowest position in the entire sect. It also had the fewest students and the least amount of resources.

That was why everyone looked on with shock when she chose to study medicine.

“Alright, there will now be people to lead you to your residences. They will also explain a few things about our sect and places where you can and cannot go, along with places that you have to take note of. The first week will be free and easy for you, then classes will begin after. Alright, you can all head off now.” The tutor hurriedly rushed off after speaking. He had to tell the vice principal about Sima You Yue’s choice to study medicine.

A few students came forward to take them to their residences. The most number of people were found in the spirit energy branch. Of one hundred and seventy two people here, a hundred and ten of them were of this branch. The rest of the branches had only sixty two people in total.

The student who led them back told them about the places in the sect that they had to take note off, then he left without looking back.

Sima You Yue initially thought that she would have to live separately from the others. However, she only found out when they reached the place that the people of the spirit energy sect were on their own. Those of specific occupations lives together. Sixty of them lived in the same courtyard, and they could also choose their house mates.

As such, Sima You Yue and the other four were able to live together still. There was even an addition of Sima You Lin. Sima You Ming and the other three brothers took Little Tu and another person and lived together.

Sima You Yue and the others appraised their courtyard and subconsciously compared it to the one from before. They realised that it was bigger than their previous one, and the appearance was also a lot more attractive.

“Who would have ever thought that we would ever become students once again.” Bei Gong Tang sighed.

“Our age in the ancient continent isn’t too far off from babies that have just been born. It’s not anything special to become a student again.” Sima You Yue said, “We’ve been rushing about all this time to settle things here and there. We had very little time to properly cultivate. Right now, we’re about done settling our things. It just so happens that we can cultivate here properly and raise our strength properly.”

Right now, Bei Gong Tang’s issue had pretty much been settled and all that was left was for her to cure her younger brother. Once she was strong enough, she would be able to exact her revenge. It was a rare opportunity for her to enter a sect, so she just happened to be able to stop for a while and cultivate properly.

“You Yue, what are you going to do about your Heaven’s Halberd?’ Sima You Lin asked.

“Don’t we still have a bit of time? I’ve already committed the coordinates of that place to my memory. I’m going to go back tonight and climb the heavenly staircase again. I’ll see if I can think of a way to get my Heaven’s Halberd back.”
