The talentless sect master chosen by the system Chapter 132: Just a test

"Sir Robin, are you my guide at the Voyager Kingdom?" Nightin asked politely with his right fist thumped on his chest.

"You can just call me sir Robin if you like, there's no need for the respect sign." Robin said impatiently as he drew a circle in the air with his quill pen, dividing the air away from that area as a transportation portal was formed in the time of a brief, unfinished conversation.

"Sir Robin, sorry if I'm offending you, but why are you using just a simple quill pen from the mundane world?" Nightin asked politely while taking into consideration Robin's words without questioning. He once was a mortal himself and understood that even those items from the mortal world might have practical usage, they don't provide the cultivator with any extra effects.

"Oh, are you perhaps looking down on these items which are way too simple for you?" Robin questioned as his pitch rose slightly, stepping into the portal before Nightin could reply with an satisfying answer.

Nightin followed after and the next sight amazed him, they were currently in the middle of a vibrant marketplace where many road stalls could be seen. To their west was the vast ocean where many small islands could be seen floating on the sparkling water surface.

Some of the islands with a smaller land area were deserted while those with more space, had buildings such as private villas on some; some public inns for those with higher popularity to gather extra income for the Voyager kingdom.

The Voyager Kingdom besides being renowned as the ruler of the seas, they were also well known for these prestigeous islands where many couples come here to spend some alone time on those private villas.

Seagulls could be seen flying around and some were perched on those rocks, marine life such as turtles and crabs could be seen near the shore. The Voyager Kingdom despite being a powerhouse in the cultivation universe, it was actually eluding peace.

"So, have you came to an conclusion?" Robin refreshed Nightin's memory as he stretched his arms out and arched backwards, breathing in the fresh air.

Recovering from his daze, Nightin replied while his gaze stayed on those seagulls, it had been some time since he last saw their species. "Why would I despise those items when they hold practical usage? You may not know about this, but I was once a mortal born in a cultivation family."

Nightin then briefly explained his past while Robin made a few more ticks on his checklist. Polite. Respectful. Good attitude.

"Oh, do you resent those family members of yours?" Robin sounded surprise as he made an exaggerated 'O' shape with his mouth, forming a smile on Nightin's face.

"Resent? It has been some time since that thought ever came across my mind." Nightin paused before continuing to explain "But ever since I stepped onto the cultivation path, I realised that their actions were childish in comparison to the cultivation world."

Maybe in the past, Nightin would have hated them even though most of them treated him well, because they merely view him as a quick tool and access to pull in ties with his father. But only after growing up and stepping into the cultivation world did he understand, they were only following the corruption within the human heart.

Robin nodded his head in approval, making a few more ticks on his checklist before a sinister smile formed on his face as he slashed towards Nightin with his quill pen all of a sudden.

Subconsciously dodging the attack, Nightin formed the Samsara sword in hand as faced Robin who was drawing some magic circles in the air.

"Sir Robin, what are you doing?" Nightin asked as a sudden beam of energy sudden blasted towards him, in which he divided apart with his sword.

Wait a moment, I would already be dead since the first attack if he held the slightest intention of killing me. Nightin warned himself to stay passive and explain his discoveries, this was most likely a test.

"Sir Robin, I believe that I deserve an A grade for the test. You made it too simple for me, or at least just an attack power and speed comparable to the early stage Martial Emperor was you underestimating me."

"Not bad, you're the first to have discovered the intention behind my sudden attack. Do you have any clue as to why I decided to sneak attack you right in the middle of our conversation and even pressured on?" Robin posed another trick question while he made another tick on the checklist.

After pondering for a short while, Nightin answered as he shared his inner thoughts, "I'm not very sure of the answer, but I managed to come up with two answers. The first reason is because you wanted to test my reaction speed while the second reason, it might prove useful if I can identify an deception attack."

Robin shook his head as he resigned to fate, someone actually managed to pass his character test for the first time in his twenty years of duty.

Robin had fought and strived hard for this role ever since he caught news of them hiring a guide for the Evil force and prestigious nobles. The Voyager Kingdom may have heard of how he does thing by now, but they gave him the silent approval by allowing him to do things as he deem suit.

Nobody besides the highest rank among those in control of the Voyager kingdom knows about the reason why he desired this role, but those who know admired his courage and motivation.

He was one the number one genius in the Voyager kingdom and he was supposed to receive an Saint Blessing elixir from the Voyager. An elixir which would help someone to grow the saint force by ten percent regardless of the current saint energy amount.

Yet the plot didn't go as demanded by the viewers, his best friend who he had treated as a brother all his life actually backstabbed him at the most crucial moment.

Ever since that day, he had set his eyes on that role and achieved his goal in just three years, even managing to take the painful revenge of killing that betrayer even though he wasn't guilty of any crime.

Three years and he rose from the Martial Emperor realm to the Martial Saint realm at the tender age of eighteen, shattering through nine coloured gates which were related to the divinity space law.

About twenty years have passed since then and his improvement speed has already amazed the Voyager Kingdom and squeezed into the first tier combat strength of the kingdom. A second transformation Demigod who only needed ten years at most to see through the third transformation even with the duties tied down on him, that was the talent the Voyager Kingdom sees and betted on

The law enforces merely turned a blind eye to this trivial case, the life of an elite soldier wasn't comparable to the only guide in the Voyager kingdom in any ways.

"Congratulations on passing the first test then." Robin laughed out loud as he asked "Or would you like to spend some time around here to enjoy the scenery and learn more about our kingdom?"

"Of course I would want to explore the Voyager kingdom, it isn't a chance that comes by easily to have a personal guide in the Voyager kingdom." Nightin replied with a slight smile on his face. Time to have fun, Nightin thought to himself for the first time.
