disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ocean showed off its original lustrous beautiful indigo color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right in the middle of the indigo ocean, the sword cultivator was staying absolutely still in the middle of the maelstrom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently floating there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of a sudden, a feminine blue hand reached out from the ocean

means that there might have been a cultivator who drew Lady Darksea’s attention, sir”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of situation would draw Lady Darksea’s attention?” Xie Dao Ling asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t not care, as the three people she specifically brought here this time were all selected by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax, that’s a good thing” Yun Ji told her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The employee also smiled: “Indeed, only the most excellent newcomers will draw Lady Darksea’s attention as she will observe those newcomers for a bit longer than normal”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aside from that, Lady Darksea will also personally check the newcomer’s background, if there were any problems, we will be notified immediately”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three blue lights appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan, Ning Yue Chan, and Leng Tian Xing had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They each had a number card in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Tian Xing’s card was [5], Ning Yue Chan’s was [2], while Gu Qing Shan was [1].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference was that Leng Tian Xing’s number card was grey, while Gu Qing Shan’s and Ning Yue Chan’s cards were glowing in a faint light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, Chen Wang instantly grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahahaha, Qing Shan really did get first place, I knew it, someone Barry recognized couldn’t possibly be an under-achiever” he loudly laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised as he looked at his number card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——I haven’t even done anything yet, why is the qualification process already over?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happened just now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, a lady said something to me just now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I can’t remember anything about her, even the impression of meeting her was blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did she tell me exactly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan tried to recall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Hua Fairy looked at Leng Tian Xing and told him: “Do not be dispirited, you ranked 5th among everyone, you only need to try a bit harder and you’ll definitely succeed next time”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Tian Xing smiled bitterly, feeling both frustration and joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frustration because he didn’t get selected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joy because he didn’t think that he would be able to take 5th place among so many people of every cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Yue Chan glanced at her [2] card, then at Gu Qing Shan’s [1] card and instinctively wanted to reach for her Blade, but quickly gave up on the idea as she recalled where she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that I think about it, I’ve never truly fought against him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Yue Chan silently thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sheet of paper lightly appeared and landed on the Human Profession Encyclopedia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The employee respectfully took the paper in hand and bowed: “Thank you, Lady Darksea”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wang crossed his arms: “You don’t need to thank her, after finishing the qualification test, she didn’t return here”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The employee smiled, a bit embarrassed as he held the paper up and read it aloud: “This year’s annual newcomer qualification test for cultivators is finished”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A total of three newcomers have reached the standard to enter the Strife Zones, in order, they are:”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Shang Yun, third place, Ninth Cryptic World, Martial cultivator, newcomer, clean background”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ning Yue Chan, second place, Shen Wu world, Bladesman, newcomer, clean background”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Qing Shan, first place, Shen Wu world, sword cultivator, Returnee”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone heard that, their gazes all fell on Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re a Returnee, huh, Barry and Kitty’s eyes truly are sharp to be able to choose such a person” the mechanical arm spoke in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ji also chuckled: “And here I was thinking of whether or not to tease this innocent youngster a bit, turns out he was a Returnee huh”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan also heard what was read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked in confusion: “What’s a
