The test sound very simple but she still observe caution and wait for others to start, other Gu family girls also didn't move when they saw her looking at others trying to take out the plant.
One of the boy dump the whole bucket of water, as soon as all the water was dumped. the soil become quick sand swallowing the plant inside it completely.
The master, appear behind the still stunt boy "eliminated, go back" the stunt boy came back to his senses and run away while crying.
Now, those who waited for other to move first and those who didn't use water but shovel sign in relief.
Gu yin grab the shovel and check the soil.
Clank clank....
The shovel made sound like it's being hit against stone making it impossible to shovel the soil without using the water.
Gu yin sprinkle some water very carefully around the plant and use the shovel to loose the soil with great care.
The process of using the shovel and water had been to be very careful, too much water will cause the soil become quicksand and wrong move from shovel can destroy the root of plant.
The test is not very difficult but it's test of people patience, which kids specially lack that why many become irritated and put too much water or destro the root getting eliminated.
It took her two and half hour to take out the plant and put it inside the bucket, she's not the first one to finish the test but she still complete it.
Those who complete the the first phase were asked to seat down on the side, soon all of the Gu sister's pass the test.
They all belong from farmer background and had done the work of harvesting wild vegetables even in field, when it's harvesting seasons.
By the evening only less three hundred kids were left and they were mainly eight or seven year old kids of course there were also six or seven, but number of five year old can be counted on one hand.
The master look at the remaining kids and spoke "everyone rest for the night tomorrow you are going to start your second phase of test and remember it will be three day long"
Murmur can be heard among the kids as they try to guess what kind of test they are going to tomorrow.
But everyone only buzz around for few minutes before eating their own dry ration and sleeping inside the examination hall.
Of course, there are few pampered child whining and later were scolded by other for disturbing everyone sleep.
By the mid night it was complete silence as everyone were in deep sleep, early in the morning they all were woken up with the sound of loud bell.
The kids gather in the same spot they give the test yesterday, waiting for the master to appear and give them instructions.
"Everyone look behind you" there's was gaint mountains peak behind them which is very tall to the small kids.
"Can you see that tall tower, you need to reach that tower with these flag" pointing at large culster of red flag beside him.
"You will be given flashes according to the number you draw to that towarer you need three flag, if you draw three or more your luck
but if you draw one or two or even none, you need to gather the flag from the forest there 300 flag hidden in the mountains and reach the tower. Each mountain will host kids from two hall and now everyone well step forward when your name is called and draw the lot"
There are 300 flags if one need 3 flages in other words, there are only enough flags for hundred kids to pass while there are more then six hundred kids in each peak.
In others words it's cuthoart battle wether one draw three flags, unless they reach the tower without having there flags stolen they are not safe.
If you don't draw enough flags, you have to either search for the flag in the peak or snatch it from others.
The basic entrance test are simple, This.... Is This what they call SIMPLE!!!!
They are literally asking bunch of kids to rob others or escape for there life, it's will be good if all of the Gu sister's stuck close with each other.
Well, that was what Gu yin plan is if they all get enough flags in the draw, cause in that case she's not risking herself or others.
The master start calling out kids name they draw lots, some get one, two, three even four flags while some get none.
First one was Gu Xiao who draw two flag, second one Gu ya who's luckiest one to get three flags, Gu Niu got one flag, Gu tin got two flags and Gu yin got one flag.
"You all have three days to reach the tower once the time is up you will have to get down from the peak and thier are no beast or wild animal in the peak"
Well... The last line sound very pleasing to everyone present there, after all with their tiny bodies they surely can't defeat beast.
"The time start now" with the sound of bell they ran toward the mountains peak with hurried steps.
After all, finding the flags present in the peak is more acceptable to many, then robbing others of ourse there's other who find this act normal without any guilt.
So, the moment they enter the mountain many kids were immediately asked to hand over their flags.
Specially the older kids who had bigger body and more strength compare to the younger kids, so the only way to avoid that is to form large group to protect each other.
Of course, there are high chances of those makeshift group turning against each other, luckily the Gu sister's are united enought to even commit murder well... There's no prof of that one.
Moreover, once they walk further in the path of cultivation, killing others will become common things in their life's.
