Zhang Qian Selected for Black Eagle Sect! She's Becoming a Martial Artist!

That was the Black Eagle Sect, Li Xian's sect. They felt that their region was remote and barren, and they couldn't bear to see young people trapped in these mountains forever. Therefore, they wanted to recruit disciples. Anyone with good talent and aptitude had a chance to enter the Black Eagle Sect and go to Anyuan County Town.

This also meant that as long as one joined the Black Eagle Sect, there was a high probability of becoming a Martial Artist.

As this matter fermented, all the villagers in Shuanglin Village became restless. They all wanted their sons and daughters to join the Black Eagle Sect. After all, Li Xian had emerged from their Shuanglin Village and only became a Martial Artist after joining the Black Eagle Sect.

With Li Xian as a precedent, the villagers were extremely concerned about this matter, hoping that An Yanbing and Xiao Yingkai, who were in charge of the selection for the Black Eagle Sect this time, would take a liking to their children.

This also made the younger generation incredibly excited.

After all, it was a chance to become a Martial Artist. Who could remain calm?

But soon, An Yanbing announced something: the Black Eagle Sect would only recruit disciples under the age of eighteen. Those over the age would not be accepted.

This caused many young people over eighteen to deflate like punctured balloons, instantly losing their spirit. They could only watch as those younger than them participated in the Black Eagle Sect's disciple recruitment event.

"Damn it, why can't I join if I'm over eighteen? I want to become a Martial Artist too!"

"There's nothing we can do. This is a strict rule of the Black Eagle Sect. Anyone over eighteen is not eligible to participate in the disciple recruitment event."

"Li Xian's senior brothers and sisters said that the reason for this is that once a person is over eighteen, even if their aptitude is good, their bones and marrow are already solidified and closed. Their martial arts potential is too low, and they won't be able to go very far."

"Therefore, they only recruit those under eighteen. Their bones and marrow haven't closed yet, and it's not too late to start cultivating and practicing martial arts."

"Then I definitely have no chance. I just turned eighteen the day before yesterday!"

"Don't be too discouraged. Su Mo, who was the talk of the village before, also doesn't have the qualifications to participate in the Black Eagle Sect's disciple recruitment event, precisely because he's also over eighteen."

The age limit of eighteen weeded out many young people in the village. Some were dejected, some were in pain, and some were even jealous. But later, people discovered that even the formidable Su Mo seemed to be unqualified to join the Black Eagle Sect.

Since Su Mo was already eighteen, this brought some comfort to those who complained about unfairness.

The Black Eagle Sect's requirement wasn't that the younger the better, but rather that those between fifteen and seventeen years old could come and participate in the disciple recruitment event to test their aptitude and talent. Not only Shuanglin Village but also people from several neighboring villages would come.

This was considered a major event.

"Good news! My son, Li Goudan, has excellent aptitude and is seventeen years old, meeting the conditions to join the Black Eagle Sect."

"Goudan's mother, congratulations! Your son will be a high and mighty Martial Artist from now on."

As time passed, the Black Eagle Sect's disciple recruitment event proceeded in full swing. Young people who met the Black Eagle Sect's requirements for recruiting disciples had already begun to be accepted into the sect.

This made the villagers envious.

No one expected that the first person the Black Eagle Sect would take a liking to would be Li Goudan. Although Li Goudan was good at hunting, he wasn't very clever. Yet, even someone like him could join the Black Eagle Sect, become a disciple, and later become a powerful Martial Artist.

This completely ignited the emotions of the younger generation in the village. Those under eighteen rushed to participate in the grand event held by the Black Eagle Sect. Some were selected and overjoyed, while others were directly rejected due to poor aptitude and talent, weeping sadly.

Even many women under eighteen came to have their aptitude tested, hoping for a chance to enter the Black Eagle Sect.

The villagers didn't think girls could become Martial Artists, but unexpectedly, three girls were taken a liking to by the Black Eagle Sect and accepted as disciples.

One of them was Zhang Qian, Zhang Tieshan's daughter.

The other two girls were from the neighboring village.

This incident instantly made Zhang Tieshan's family hold their heads high in the village. Zhang Tieshan couldn't stop smiling; his daughter was going to be a Martial Artist. Liu Guihua even told everyone she met, as if afraid others wouldn't know.

As for the matter of marrying his daughter Zhang Qian to Su Mo, Zhang Tieshan and his family never mentioned it again.

Even more unexpectedly, with Zhang Qian being favored by the Black Eagle Sect, Zhang Hai was soon also favored, which made Zhang Tieshan's family famous in the village.

This meant that Zhang Tieshan's family would produce two Martial Artists in the future!

Many people thought of this and were filled with extreme jealousy and envy, but they could only watch from afar.

As for Su Mo, who was once skilled at hunting and never returned empty-handed, he was almost no longer mentioned in the village. This was because the village was about to produce several Martial Artists.

Su Mo was merely a Hunter in the village. Could he compare to a Martial Artist?

"I heard that Zhang Hai and Zhang Qian were both accepted by the Black Eagle Sect this time, as well as Li Goudan. In the last two days, Chen Mazi also met the conditions to join the Black Eagle Sect. This time, four young people from our village were accepted as disciples by the Black Eagle Sect. Other villages also have some, but not as many as Shuanglin Village."

In the evening, Uncle Chen Shan brought Su Mo some news: not only the siblings Zhang Hai and Zhang Qian met the Black Eagle Sect's conditions and were selected, but also Li Goudan and Chen Mazi from the younger generation were favored by the Black Eagle Sect and would go to Anyuan County Town with Li Xian and the others.

This meant that the four of them would all become Martial Artists in the future.

Su Mo offered them his blessings.

Uncle Chen Shan looked at the calm Su Mo with some pity. If they were to truly compare aptitude and talent, he didn't think Su Mo was any worse than those four. Su Mo was only held back by his age; he was trapped by his age. Otherwise, there would surely be a spot for him among the recruits for the Black Eagle Sect.

One could only say that life is unpredictable. Su Mo, once the most brilliant person in the village, was now completely ignored at the Black Eagle Sect's disciple recruitment event, and was even explicitly told he was not eligible to participate.

This made Uncle Chen Shan very angry but helpless.

Perhaps this was fate!

Uncle Chen Shan comforted Su Mo, fearing he might be too upset. Su Mo just smiled, showing no signs of dejection or disappointment.

He had already been told by Li Xian about the age limit of eighteen for practicing martial arts, so he was not surprised by this outcome.

In the following days, the Black Eagle Sect's disciple recruitment event began to conclude.

This time, the Black Eagle Sect recruited a total of eight talented martial arts prospects from the villages in the Qingliang Mountain region. Their Shuanglin Village had the most, with four.

This made the village chief, Yang Baishu, unconsciously raise his voice and puff out his chest when speaking to the village chiefs of other villages. The other village chiefs could only greet him with smiles, as Shuanglin Village had the most disciples recruited by the Black Eagle Sect.

In the future, Shuanglin Village would produce a total of four powerful Martial Artists!
