Chapter 857 - Medallion of Fate

"Searching for someone like me? Why?" Yuan asked.

Jia Chong didn't immediately respond and instead retrieved a medallion with the word 'Destiny' on it. He then extended his hand and offered it to Yuan.

"What's this?" Yuan accepted the medallion without thinking.

"This is the Medallion of Fate. If you return it to its owners, you will be given a chance to start a new life— or so I am told. Ever since I acquired this medallion, I have invested my life into returning it to the rightful owner, but it appears that my fate isn't powerful enough. However, I'm sure you'll be able to find its owners."

"Or so you're told? So you don't really know the real purpose of this medallion?" Feng Yuxiang asked with raised eyebrows, as she cannot imagine investing her entire life chasing after some rumors.

"I may have no concrete proof, but I believe it truly is the purpose of this medallion. After all, I started being able to see other peoples' fate after acquiring this medallion." Jia Chong said.

"So you can see our fate— our future?" Yuan asked with interest.

"No, my abilities are not strong enough to see your future, but I can tell if someone has a strong fate or not." Jia Chong shook his head.

"..."

Feng Yuxiang wanted to say that it was a load of bullshit, but since Jia Chong helped Yuan with the Destiny Seals, she didn't want to be rude to him.

Yuan thought to himself, 'Sounds like the Divine Crystal of Heavenly Fortune. It can tell what kind of fate we have, too.'

"Anyways, it is about time I leave and return to my journey. I have lingered around this place for a little too long." Jia Chong suddenly said.

Yuan quickly said, "Once again, thank you for your help and for this array combination."

Jia Chong silently nodded with a smile on his face before flying away.

Yuan looked at the Medallion of Fate with a profound expression on his face.

"Do you really believe that crazy old man? All this nonsense about fate, I don't believe it." Feng Yuxiang said after Jia Chong left.

"I don't know, but I feel some sort of connection with this medallion, like I have seen it before." Yuan said.

"Really? Where?"

He shook his head, "I don't know."

"Anyways, let's meet up with everyone before we reunite with Xiao Hua and Min Li." He said after storing the Medallion of Fate into his spatial ring.

Thus, Yuan began making his way back to the hotel to pick up Meixiu and the others.

That night at dinner, Yuan said to the others, "I just finished my business, so I am heading back to the city. Are you guys prepared for the disciple examination?"

"Yes. I just finished my preparations as well. Those spirit stones you gave us really came in handy." Wang Ming nodded.

"Right? It's actually worth much more than I'd expected. I still have a few thousand left even after going on a shopping spree." Wang Bingbing said.

"Once again, thank you for the spirit stones." Shi Lang said.

"I should arrive at the city by tomorrow night, but if you're already heading to the gathering site, you don't need to wait for us." Yuan said to them.

"Alright."

After dinner, Yuan returned to the game so he could continue returning to the city.

Once he returned to the city the following day, Yuan met up with Meixiu and the others.

"Is this everybody?" Yuan asked Wang Ming, as there were only five people there, including Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang.

"Yes, the others are either already at the gathering site or making their way there." Wang Ming nodded.

"Fortunately, the gathering site isn't too far away. We can get there in about two hours if we use the teleport devices, and the disciple examination won't start until tomorrow morning." Wang Bingbing said.

Yuan nodded and said, "Then let's get some rest tonight and make our way to the gathering site early tomorrow. It wouldn't be a good idea to stay up for the night right before such a big event. You'll need all the energy you can get."

"Alright. Let's meet up at sunrise tomorrow."

Since it's been a while since he's gotten any proper rest, Yuan also decided to get some sleep.

The following morning, Yuan and the others began making their way to the gathering site.

"Hey, Yuan, do you know anything about the examination? Like what we'll be doing?" Shi Lang asked him as they moved.

"No, I don't." He shook his head.

"I heard that you used to be a disciple at the Dragon Essence Temple. What was the disciple examination like over there?" Wang Ming asked.

Yuan proceeded to recall his experience at the Dragon Essence Temple to the others.

"I see… So we should expect something similar, huh?"

"Every sect is different." Yuan said.

"What should we do if we fail the examination?" Shi Lang suddenly asked.This chapter is updatᴇd by Noᴠelꜰire

"I'm sure you'll all pass with your talents." Yuan smiled.

"But it's not guaranteed, right?"

"If you're already thinking about failing before even starting, then you're fated to fail." Wang Bingbing shrugged.

"My sister's right, Shi Lang. Don't be so negative."

"W-What? I was just curious… I am not thinking about failing…" He quickly said.

"Yeah, yeah."

Two and a half hours later, Yuan and his group arrived at the gathering site for the Seven Spirit Academies, which was taking place in a massive square that was built specifically for the examination.

"Holy shit, there's got to be at least a hundred thousand people here right now." Wang Ming exclaimed when he saw the sea of people there.

"Is it always this crowded? Won't it take forever to finish the examination at this rate?" Shi Lang sighed.

While the others were surprised by the spectacle there, Yuan looked for Xiao Hua.

Once he sensed her presence, he called for her through their spiritual connection, "Xiao Hua, can you hear me?"

"Brother Yuan!" Xiao Hua immediately responded with excitement.

"We're right outside the square. We'll wait for you here."

"Okay!"
