Severin spotted a woman in a purple skirt who had just flown over, so he approached her and asked, "Are you here for the trial too?"
The woman gave Severin a once-over and replied with a smile, "Isn't that obvious, handsome? Why else would I have traveled all the way here? It's not often that a first-tier sect like this one recruits disciples. Many people come here bearing high hopes."
"Then, do you know the criteria that they employ when recruiting disciples?" Severin asked further.
The woman responded, "My attainment level qualifies me to become an inner disciple."
Severin glanced at her attainment and muttered, "Oh, so a level six warrior emperor is eligible for inner disciple status?"
Startled, the woman asked, "What's your name? How could you gauge my attainment level so accurately?"
Severin introduced himself, "My name's Severin Feuillet."
The woman offered a handshake. "Pleased to meet you. I'm Lorinda Brook. Your ability to gauge a person's attainment is quite impressive. If you and I are fellow disciples in the future, would you be so kind as to teach me this technique?"
Severin was speechless. That was not a technique he could teach on a whim.
"Not bad, then! Most of us here will become inner disciples," Mick said excitedly, knowing that becoming an inner disciple is a step up from being an outer disciple. "We have several level six warrior emperors in our ranks."
Lorinda had thought of flaunting her attainment proudly, thinking that she had a very strong attainment. It did not cross her mind that the attainment levels of the group in front of her would be so high. "No way! I had no idea that you were all so strong."
As if that was not surprising enough, Sofia smiled and revealed, "I happen to be a level one saint, so that might just qualify me to become an elite disciple."
Diane then turned to Severin and said, "No wonder your uncle-master urged you to come before the August fifteenth deadline. It's because the sect is recruiting disciples! He probably wants us to attend the trials too."
