Treasure Hunting

Chapter 33 The Invigilator

"This sub-quest wants me to sleep with Elva... Sound like fun, but definitely not easy to do!" Zachary seemed to be whining but in truth he was excited to receive the sub-quest. Compared to previous quests, this one was the most difficult so far but way more meaningful as well. After all, sleeping with Elva would mean that they had developed a real relationship. It was also one of Zachary's goals.

'Hmm...she is more powerful than me, so it's not possible to forcibly have sex with her. I will have to resort to other methods, drugging her maybe? But I can't let Elva know that it is me. I have to frame somebody else, like Bruce...' Zachary thought about the possibilities and smiled. This was his dark side.

He considered a lot of things in order to ensure the success of his plan. Moreover, he didn't have any aphrodisiac, nor did he have any idea how and where to get one.

He then went to the Martial Training Field and chose a cultivation quest of medium level. Then he started his cultivation. He planned to absorb the martial energy left by Anne. If what Anne told him was true, he should be able to reach the seven grade of Mortal Level when he assimilated all of her martial energy.

The selection test for the Celestial College loomed closer with each passing day. He needed to fully absorb the martial energy and improve himself so that he would become eligible to enter the Celestial College.

While Zachary was immersed in cultivation, the invigilator from the Celestial College arrived at the Welkin Sect.

Each clan or sect in the Enigmatic Kingdom was entitled to a certain number of warriors that they could send to the Celestial College. To ensure the fairness of the process—only the best disciples were selected—when the sects and clans carried out their internal selection, the Celestial College would send invigilators to monitor the process.

Even though the Welkin Sect was of medium stage among all sects in the Enigmatic Kingdom, it was at the bottom end of this stage. Because of this, the Welkin Sect was only allowed to send one disciple to the Celestial College. And there would only be one invigilator who would be sent to monitor the selection as well.

The invigilator was usually at the Imperial Level, the level that Lewis was at. To express their reverence for the invigilator as well as for the Celestial College, Lewis and all the stewards all came out to welcome the invigilator.

The Welkin Sect's entrance was filled with people. In addition to the leader and stewards of the sect, over a hundred disciples gathered and lined up to welcome the distinguished guest. Another reason for the "ceremony" was that the invigilator held the power to cancel the selection. If any problem was discovered during the selection test, the Welkin Sect might be forbidden to send any disciple to the Celestial College. Therefore, it was best not to displease the invigilator!

They waited for an hour, but the invigilator failed to arrive. Lewis and the stewards exchanged worried glances with each other.

Just when Lewis thought of sending a few disciples out to check, a female figure appeared at the bottom of the stairs.

She wore a light yellow gown and a pair of golden boots. Her long, straight hair fell on her left shoulder, decorated with jade beads. The gentle lady seemed to merge with the mountain and the water in the background, as if she was an angel that walked out of a drawing.

Since she was still far from the entrance, the people of the Welkin Sect didn't have a clear view of her face.

In the blink of an eye, the lady was near the entrance. Before Lewis and the stewards realized what happened, she was barely a few meters away from them.

Everyone who looked at her at that closer distance couldn't help but be dazzled. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The lady was like an angel that was plucked straight from the pages of fairy tales and then placed directly in front of them. She had a pair of glassy eyes, cherry red lips, a straight-edge nose and snow- white skin. She wore a gown with plum blossoms printed on light-yellow silk and with red linings that matched the color of her lips.

All the male disciples were automatically drawn to her beauty.

Lewis and the stewards looked surprised while the disciples around them looked as if they were ready to faint. They could sense the power from her aura as a warrior. Even though she didn't fully release her aura, Lewis and the stewards could feel that the invigilator's martial power was comparable to Lewis' power, or maybe even more.

What surprised them was that she looked fairly young—not more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but she was already at the Imperial Level!

Before Lewis was able to say anything, the lady said in a mellow voice, "Who is the leader of the Welkin Sect?"

"I am the leader of the Welkin Sect, Lewis Xuan." Lewis stepped forward, cupping his hands to show his respect. Without a doubt, this lady was none other than the invigilator sent by the Celestial College.

"I am the invigilator from the Celestial College, Sara Long," the lady said, as she introduced herself.

"Are you the same Sara who ranked fifth in the contest of new disciples at the Imperial Level among the four martial colleges last year?" Lewis asked as he seemed to remember the name.

The contest of new disciples at the Imperial Level was a contest for all warriors who reached the Imperial Level in the last five years. Two of the warriors from the Celestial College made it into the top

ten, one male and one female. The female warrior was called Sara Long. Since she rarely appeared in the public, few had actually seen her.

When Lewis said that, the disciples of the Welkin Sect were shocked. None of them could have imagined that this lady was a top ten warrior among all disciples who newly attained the Imperial Level in the four martial colleges. This lady's power was equal to their sect leader's power, but what amazed them more was that she looked like she was in her twenties.
