Chapter 35 Unexpected

When Zachary came back from the second world, he heard that an invigilator was sent by the CelestialCollege to supervise the selection test and that she was currently at the training ground of the WelkinSect. So he rushed there immediately. Because he knew it was a rare opportunity to take instructionsfrom an invigilator, he didn't want to miss it.

By the time he got there, Sara had already selected several disciples. But Zachary didn't want to be leftout. Moreover, the invigilator was a beautiful woman, so he stepped out to volunteer himself.

"Who are you?" Sara looked at Zachary, who stood in front of her. He looked a little casual, but hissmiling eyes gave her a strange feeling of confidence and ignorance.

"My name is Zachary Zi, and I am also eligible for the selection test. Something happened to me justnow, and that's why I'm late," Zachary said introducing himself.

His words caused an uproar among the people present. It was known to everyone that his fivemeridians were broken. Everyone knew that he could no longer be a warrior his entire life. Taking partin the selection test was therefore impossible and pointless. But now he asked Sara to coach him. Heprobably became so miserable that he had gone crazy.

"Zachary, are you still going to participate in the selection test?" Lewis asked in a serious tone after heheard what Zachary said.

"Of course I am," Zachary answered. Serious determination was carved deeply on his face as hestared at Lewis.

"But you haven't recovered from your injury yet, and I think that your condition is not good enough yetto participate in this selection test..." Lewis was in utter confusion. Zachary should have known that hewould not do well in the selection test in his current state. Thus, it was unreasonable for him to askSara to coach him as well.

Even if Zachary wasn't injured, it was almost impossible for him to be selected by Sara. Although hehad double martial speed, his cultivation was just at the third grade of Mortal Level, which meant thathe was just at the primary stage of Mortal Level. Even if he participated in the selection test right now inhealthy condition, he would still not pass the first round, let alone do well and get a good grade. So, nomatter what coaching Sara gave Zachary, there was no way that his strength was going to get strongerany time soon and make him pass the selection test. Moreover, Sara might not chose Zachary either inthe first place.

The disciples stared at Zachary with some distaste on their faces. They felt that Zachary was justclowning around.

"A loser like you do not deserve to be coached by Master Sara..." Benjamin, one of the twelve discipleswho was chosen to receive coaching from Sara, suddenly laughed at Zachary. His voice was notparticularly loud, but enough for the disciples present to hear.

Everyone around started to laugh and the laughter slowly spread to everyone in the area. They alllooked down at Zachary.

"If a guy like you with a broken arm can do it, then why can't I do it?" Zachary said. He stared atBenjamin with pride and determination.

"You..." When Benjamin heard this, he felt extremely angry. But because Sara was present, he did notwant to look so petty. So, he refrained himself from showing his anger.

Sara remained quiet to the surprise of everyone present. They all expected Sara to reject Zacharyoutright or even humiliate him. But now, she stared continuously at him with her beautiful eyes.

"Master Beauty, I'm no worse than them in talent. If you choose me, I promise I will never let youdown," Zachary said. He looked straight into Sara's eyes seriously.

The other disciples stared at Zachary in shock. They all waited for Sara to reject and humiliate him.

The stewards all looked at Lewis with worry. They knew that if Zachary offended or annoyed Sara inany way, they might lose the chance to send one of their disciples to the Celestial College.

But Lewis knew this better than anyone so he apologized immediately, "Master Sara, I'm sorry. Thisdisciple always has such a bad character. If he said something wrong that offended you, please forgiveus and please accept my sincere apologies!"

After saying this, Lewis turned to Zachary and said to him seriously, "Zachary, stop fooling around andleave right now!"

"Who said I was fooling around?! I'm just making sure that this beauty would have the chance to coacha genius like me. After all, this is a rare opportunity, and I certainly don't want her to miss it..." Zacharyreplied. He looked so arrogant that the disciples present all wanted to beat him.

Lewis shook his head. He decided to take Zachary out of the area before his stubbornness upset Sara.He knew that it would be his fault if he waited for the Welkin Sect to lose its chance to send a discipleto the Celestial College before he did something about Zachary's foolishness.

But just as Lewis was about to take Zachary away, Sara said, "Well. I think your talent is quite good,but you are really weak right now. However, overall, you could narrowly be considered as a potentialdisciple. You could join with my guidance."

After hearing Sara's words, the disciples present were stunned. What they did not expect was that Sarawould agree to guide Zachary. This was obviously different from what they had expected. Normally,Zachary would be humiliated and then go away like a lost dog.

Benjamin's expression became extremely distorted. His face became very grim, as if he couldn't bearto be coached by Sara together with Zachary.

No one expected that Zachary's approach would get Sara's attention and make her agree to coachhim. The disciples that were not chosen by Sara felt envious and annoyed. If they knew that thisapproach would work with Sara, they would have done the same thing.

"Thank you very much, Master Beauty!" Zachary said; he smiled broadly and anyone could see that hiseyes were full of self-confidence.

"Let's call it a day!" Sara said to Lewis. She didn't seem to care what Zachary called her.

Lewis immediately ordered two female disciples to accompany Sara to her cottage to rest.

Zachary also swaggered away under the stares of the other disciples. Lewis shook his head andsighed, more in relief than in disappointment. Then he also left with the stewards of the Welkin Sect.

Sara, led by two female disciples, arrived at Bamboo Gully and went to the prepared cottage to rest.

Once inside, Sara closed the door of the cottage and took out a scroll. She unrolled the scroll carefully.A figure appeared on it that looked like Zachary by ninety percent.

"It should be him. I thought it would not be easy to replace him among the thousands of disciples in theWelkin Sect. I did not expect that he'd send himself to me." Sara stared at the portrait with a faint smile.

Zachary was back to his tent as he pondered the events of the day. Without warning, he suddenlysneezed. He rubbed his nose and said to himself, "This is strange. I suddenly sneezed. There might bea beauty who is thinking about me. Elva or Anne... Or, the beauty invigilator from the CelestialCollege..."

Zachary entered the system as he pondered this. And then he continued to practice in the secondworld.
