"It's quite cold here. Well, if the Halloween between my world and the readers' world has the same date. I guess I'm supposed to say Merry Christmas here?"

"But Dad? Aren't you supposed to be a god?" Mia tilted her head.

"Well, a kind pope helped me in the past. I don't mind saying a few words for his sake." Theo smiled. "Still…

"…This city is directly linked to the Snow Blossom Sect, huh?" said Theo while looking outside. They were currently sitting in a tavern as the staff had just put down the plates.

"Yes, Sir. The Snow Blossom Sect seems to be hosting a recruitment ceremony today." The staff nodded.

"That's interesting," Theo smiled while taking out two gold coins he had exchanged at the teleportation gate. "Tell me about it."

The waiter sneakily took the coins and said, "The recruitment is hosted by the Snow Blossom Sect in the southern gate. That gate is directly linked to the mountain behind it, which is the Snow Blossom Sect itself. The requirement for participating in the recruitment is becoming a 1-Star Qi Gathering Stage under the age of 16."

"Oh? It doesn't seem to be high." Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

"Yes, Sir. It's just the requirement for participating in the recruitment after all. You have to pass the test to be accepted into the Snow Blossom Sect. In the last recruitment, it's said that there are only three people who are lucky enough to be accepted with only 2-Star and 3-Star cultivations. Most disciples are at least 5-Star.

"Now that sounds a bit more interesting." Theo thought for a moment. "How do you register? Do you just need to go there?"

"Yes. You should be able to find the stall near the gate. The test will proceed beyond the gate."

After Theo was satisfied, the waiter hurriedly left with a lot of money. Theo asked, "What do you think, Mia? It seems that the author is fulfilling your wish."

"Of course, I'm going to participate. I wonder if I can meet someone of my age." Mia nodded furiously.

"Aaaahhh?!" Suddenly, a man's voice echoed from the side, causing Theo and Mia to turn their heads around.

It was a familiar face. He was the young man Theo asked about the Snow Blossom Sect.

"Xiao Yu?" His elder sister tilted her head in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"Ah!" The guy took a deep breath, realizing that his shout had gathered the attention of all the people inside the tavern. He whispered, "Do you remember there was a person who asked me about the direction to the Snow Blossom Sect? It's them."

She widened her eyes in surprise before examining Theo. The man looked young, but his age should be far higher than hers. Meanwhile, the little girl was extremely young. At that age, they should barely start cultivating.

But the weird thing was that she couldn't feel any cultivation from them. The older guy aside, the little girl seemed to haven't started her cultivation.

"Oh, it's you." Theo nodded his head, remembering the young man. "Is there something wrong?"

Instead of the younger brother, the elder sister was the one replying to Theo. "Hello, my name is Xiao Xue, his elder sister. I heard from my brother that you're asking for the direction of the Snow Blossom Sect. May I know what business you have with my sect?"

Theo glanced at Mia before saying, "It's nothing much. I heard that the Snow Blossom Sect is recruiting a disciple… So, my daughter and I come to take a look."

"The Snow Blossom Sect only chooses women due to the nature of our cultivation. Are you perhaps bringing her?" Xiao Xue's gaze shifted to Mia.

"Well, you can say that. I do have another business with your sect though." Theo nodded with a smile. "Unfortunately, if I say it here, it will probably just bring unnecessary trouble."

"If you wish to participate in the recruitment, you can go to the gate before midday."

"Thank you. We'll eat first and go there," Theo said with a gentle smile.

"I see. Please take your time." Xiao Xue cupped her hands politely before leaving them.

When they left, Mia couldn't help but say, "Father. Where is the arrogant young master? I heard that a tavern is actually the perfect place for a face slapping scene where an arrogant young master appears and gets beaten. Just look at that lady, she is not arrogant."

"Do you think I don't know that the reason you want to come here is because you want to offend a lot of people just to hinder my progress?" Theo shook his head helplessly.

"I've promised Mom, after all." Mia didn't hesitate to admit it.

"That's why I go to this place instead of any other place. You always talked about arrogant young masters, so I figure if we go to a place filled with young misses instead, we won't face that kind of problem. At least, there is less chance to encounter that problem."

"Ah!" Mia dropped her jaw as she had just realized her dad's plan. She was tricked. The Heavenly Sword Sect should be their first destination, considering it was Li Wei's sect.

However, Theo misdirected her to this sect by using that token. As a result, they managed to avoid all the encounters.

"Gah!" Mia clutched her head, realizing her big mistake.

"I let you have all the fun you want, but I'm going to do it in a way with less trouble. You are 5 years too early to trick me."

"Gu…" Mia bit her lips, not being able to say anything. Her dad just gave her the ultimatum that it was impossible to outsmart him.

"Hurry up and eat." Theo chuckled.

Mia still had a few chances, so she hurriedly finished all the food and headed to the recruitment stall.

The stall itself was pretty empty. Most of the people who wanted to join had gone past the gate where they were about to hold their recruitment test.

Theo noticed three people with strong power: two were outside the gate while the other one was standing next to the stand.

When they saw the pair of father and daughter approaching them, they couldn't help but frown, thinking that this father was just trying to get his daughter to participate.

However, it seemed that he underestimated the test the Snow Blossom Sect had.

"Hello, is this the stall for the recruitment?" Theo asked.

"Are you going to register your daughter?"

"Indeed." Theo nodded with a smile.

The elder couldn't help but step forward, examining Theo's strength. But to her surprise, she couldn't find anything.

In that case, she started exuding her strength to incite Theo's Spiritual Qi, not believing that this man could stand in front of her with a calm expression as if she were just a kid.

But in that instant, the elder suddenly trembled. Theo was still smiling. She didn't know why, but the temperature seemed to drop further. The chills completely overwhelmed her body as though the grim reaper's scythe was already right before her neck, ready to take her life.

If she did anything further than this, she would definitely die.

When that thought appeared, she instinctively reached out for the sword on her waist as Theo's gentle voice warned her. "Do you think I can register my daughter?"

The elder gulped down. She didn't know what happened, but she instinctively felt that the man before her shouldn't be provoked.

"Alright." The elder nodded as calmly as possible. "But you have to follow the procedure. And the test is quite hard, so your daughter might be harmed by other participants."

"That's fine." Theo agreed without hesitation.

"In that case, I need to check the bones of your daughter to confirm her age."

Theo patted Mia's head, gesturing for Mia to extend her hand.

As soon as the elder checked Mia's bone, she couldn't help but gasp. "Sir, she is still 7 years old."

"!!!" The one who was shocked the most was not the elder, but the disciples next to her. She never thought that their elder would be so respectful to Theo.

"Is that a problem?"

"That's…" The elder thought for a moment before leading Mia's hand to the crystal ball. "We have to measure her strength first. If she is not a 1-Star Qi Gathering Stage, I'm afraid I can't let her pass."

Theo had been shielding their power the whole time, so the elder might haven't noticed it. But the moment she placed Mia's hand on the ball, the crystal shone brightly.

"This… This is…" The elder was speechless while the disciple exclaimed in shock, "9-Star? Almost a 10-Star Qi Gathering Stage? 7 years old with this level of cultivation?"

The other disciple sucked a cold breath. "Even the strongest genius we have found earlier is only at 8-Star and she is about 12 years old. Her talent alone is already enough for an elder to notice her."

It seemed that the identity of the two people before them was quite special. The elder must have noticed it first and become respectful.

"So, can she participate?" Theo asked with a smile.

Let alone participating, the sect master needed to be notified after finding this kind of genius.

"She can participate, but..." The elder gulped down. "I need to know her name for our record."

Mia couldn't help but look at her father, wondering what her name would be.

"Zhao Jia. That's her name," Theo replied.

Mia blinked a few times, recognizing that name. It was the disciple of her father's old friend. 'Are we going to act like the pair of master and disciple? Zhao Jia should be the disciple of the Heavenly Sovereign, right? The man who is known to be the strongest in the world after my father? But there is still uncle Loki and auntie Hel. Well, they are known to be gods, so he is the strongest mortal. Well, it's from the original world, so I guess there's no harm in using those names here.'

"Zhao Jia," The elder muttered it a few times as though she were trying to recall a famous name from Zhao to find out about Theo's identity.

"Is there something wrong?" Theo asked, pressuring her.

"No, nothing! Please take this and head to the test area." The elder took out a silver token.

After getting the token, Theo and Mia came out of the gate, finding a huge platform with multiple giant crystals on it. There were a few elders who were looking from a platform on the side. They seemed to be trying to find a genius disciple to recruit.

On the other hand, the elder who handled the registration sneaked back to the sect to inform the sect master about Mia's talent and the person surnamed Zhao.

Little did they know, the pair of brother and sister had just finished their meal.

"Then, Sister. I will be off!" The brother cupped his hands before noticing the panicked faces of the people handling the recruitment stall.

Xiao Xue noticed it too and couldn't help but ask, "Hello. I'm Xiao Xue, Elder Xia's disciple. Is there something wrong?"

"It's just… We have a new disciple who wants to participate in the test. Her age is only 7 years old, but her strength is almost 10-Star!"

"Huh?!" Xiao Xue dropped her jaw in disbelief. "What did you say? How?"

"We don't know, but Elder Qing Yuan was the one confirming it."

"7 years old…" Xiao Xue couldn't help but look at her brother. "Don't tell me…"

"Is it that father and daughter duo?" Even her brother couldn't believe it. He thought that the father was extraordinary, but he never expected the daughter to be that monstrous.

In the midst of the shock, a surprise scream echoed from the testing area. There was a bright blue light coming out of the testing area. It was bright enough for the light to reach them.

"This is… Heaven Grade Talent, Ice Phoenix Spiritual Root!"

"She is only 12 years old, but she has managed to reach 8-Star?"

"She is going to be my disciple!"

"No. She is mine!"

The elders seemed to be fighting for such a disciple. They didn't know that this wasn't the only thing that would hit them.

After all, in the middle of their fight, there was a 7-years old girl raising her hand and jumping as if trying to make the examiners notice.
