Awakening Of The Ancient: Rise Of The Fallen 72 Chapter 70: Father And Mother

Xu Ming glanced at the dead body of the girl one last time as he made a promise to himself that he would never make the same mistake again.

He left the room. He has the partic.i.p.ation bathroom in his pocket. Although he didn't notice it, his partic.i.p.ation badge had changed color from its original color to a bright red color.

As soon as he came out, he noticed that there were quite a lot of people that were already outside.

Around 20 guys and girls were standing in front of the Elders. They all held a proud expression on their faces.

Xu Ming realized that they must be the ones who pa.s.sed this test before him. As for the others, they had either died or were still involved in a fight.

Xu Ming glanced at all of them. The girl he saw last night near the lake wasn't there yet. She was the only person that he knew in the promotion exams, thus he noticed it immediately. But there was nothing that he could do about it.

He stopped in front of the elders and joined the crowd.

He still held the practice sword in his hand that was covered in blood.

"Did you kill your opponent?" Elder Gin asked.

"Yes. Her body is in the room." Xu Ming responded.

"Show me your badge." Elder Gin further said.

Xu Ming took his badge out of his pocket and showed it to the Elder.

The Elder gazed at the red color of the badge and nodded his head.

"Good. You shall be an Outer Disciple of the Mighty Demon Sect from today." Elder Gin said without any change in good expression, though internally he was surprised.

He had already realized from Xu Ming's clothes that he was a servant of the sect. Despite the disadvantage, he managed to defeat a disciple of a righteous sect.

He felt like this boy indeed had the potential.

Elder Wu, on the other hand, was simply smiling. Although he couldn't see Xu Ming, he already had a feeling that the boy wasn't going to be a n.o.body.

The first time Xu Ming came to him, he already noticed that there was a strange power inside Xu Ming. But since he himself was not that strong as he couldn't see what it was.

"Good work, Kid. I should welcome you to the outer sect." Elder Wu also smiled as he said.

The others were quite stunned as they heard Elder Wu appreciate someone.

They couldn't understand why the Elder, who was said to be the strictest, was praising the kid. 

They were all from good families in the Mortal world. Before leaving, most of their families had told them a few things about the Elders. The most they talked about being Elder Wu.

They waited more for the others to come out.

The more hours pa.s.sed away and 50 more people had come out. They all joined their group.

Just when Xu Ming was thinking that the girl had most probably died, the door of  Room no. 178 opened and a 16-17-year-old girl came out.

Her whole body was covered in wounds and blood was all over her clothes.

It was clear from her condition that she had fought a hard battle and survived.

She also joined the group as she stood near Xu Ming.

Xu Ming noticed that her breathing was uneven. That was normal for what she went through, but he still asked.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." She replied to him. She was somewhat happy that someone asked her though.

Elder Gin longer towards a talisman in his hand.

"Alright, All who survived are here. Everyone who hasn't here yet has died." Elder Gin said as he looked at them all.

"Come with me. I'll give you your clothes and outer disciple badge." Elder  Gin told everyone.

"Elder Gin, I'll be taking that little guy with me. I have something to talk to him about. You can take the others. I'll give him the badge and other things." Elder Wu said abruptly as he looked to his left with his blank looking eyes.

"Of Course. You can take him." Elder Gin smiled as he told Elder Wu.

"Alright. Everyone except that kid came with him." He said to the kids that had succeeded.

Everyone nodded their head as they left with Elder Wu. Though there wasn't a single person who didn't glance back at Xu Ming with jealousy.

Elder Wu whistled lightly as he faced the sky.

A Profound Eagle came flying and landed in front of him.

The eagle was much larger than the eagles on Earth, but Xu Ming didn't know that since he didn't have the memories of his father.

But he did remember how father talked about a creature that was similar to the beast he was looking at. It was said to be one of the fiercest birds.

"Come with me, little Ming." Elder Wu said as he climbed on the back of the Profound Eagle.

Xu Ming followed his command and stepped on the back of the Eagle.

The Profound Eagle began flying as it rose high in the sky.

The Eagle flew in the same direction and after some time, Xu Ming noticed the boundary of the sect.

In no time, they had left the sect as they flew above the beautiful mountains.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Elder Wu said with a smile.

"It's pretty." Xu Ming said.

Although this place wasn't as good as the Heavenly Realm, it was quite beautiful indeed.

"Wish I could see it as well. I've only heard that the view is beautiful. I like the air up here the most though." Elder Wu chuckled as he said.

"Anyways, can I ask you something? I hope you won't lie." He further said.

"What do you want to know?" Xu Ming inquired.

"Where are you from? Who is your father? Your mother?" He said with a smile.

Xu Ming was stunned as he heard the question. Had the man noticed something? He thought.
