The next day after coming up to the courtyard, Mesa saw Instructor Qin waiting there for him. The moment he saw him he came up to him and spoke to him.

"Ahh... Junior Uchiha, it's good that I've caught you. I have submitted your enrollment application but in order to complete your enrollment you must take a strength assessment test. The specific rules will be explained to you on site. Now come on and follow me, they're about to start the strength assessment test."

And so Mesa followed Instructor Qin through the halls and they came up to a big hall that was filled with people. On a podium at the back end of the hall was an old man with a profound assessment stone next to him. This old man was the proctor for the first part of the strength assessment test and he would explain its rules before the test would begin.

"The first stage of the examination is the assessment of Profound Strength. I'll repeat it again, the minimum threshold to enter the Palace is: Nascent Profound Realm level one at the age of fifteen, Nascent Profound Realm level three at the age of sixteen, Nascent Profound Realm level five at the age of seventeen, and Nascent Profound Realm level six at the age of eighteen. For those who are younger than fifteen or over eighteen, as well as those whose profound strength are lower than the minimum standard, please leave out of your own free will; do not think that the Profound Assessment Stone will make any mistakes! And do not think that your begging will help you in any way. If you do not meet the minimum requirements you are disqualified. No buts and/or ifs. PERIOD!"

As his voice fell, the old man let his words sink in to everybody's mind before continuing on to start the test.

"Now, the first round of assessment shall start. If I call your name, come up and and press your hand onto the Profound Assessment Stone... Number One: Han Chi" After his name was called out a young man sixteen or seventeen years old came up to the profound assessment stone and placed his hand on it. A few seconds later, 3 lines of text appeared.

Age: 17 year's old

Strength: Level 4 Nascent Profound Realm

Qualifications: Unqualified

"Unqualified, next!" Hearing that he was unqualified, Han Chi got down on his knees and was begging for another chance before he was suddenly cut off by the proctor.

"YOU ARE UNQUALIFIED!! NEXT!! Liu Changqin"

Age: 16 year's old

Strength: Level 2 Nascent Profound Realm

Qualifications: Unqualified

"NEXT"

Age: 18 year's old

Strength: level 5 Nascent Profound Realm

Qualifications: unqualified

"NEXT"

And so the first part of the strength assessment test continued on with many people passing the first part of the test and even more people failing it.

"NEXT. Ao Yan"

Age: 17 year's old

Strength: level 9 Nascent Profound Realm

Qualifications: qualified

"Very good, before you graduate from the palace, there's a very high chance for you to enter the Middle Palace. Work hard." Said the old man to Ao Yan who immediately got a smug smile on his face.

"Thank you senior, this lowly one here would like to receive lots of advice from everyone that'll be under the same wing from now on. However, in regards to the number one seat in this group, this lowly one is getting it for sure." Said Ao Yan smugly.

Looking at this guy proclaim himself number 1 truly put a smile on Mesa's face.

'Ahh... I really love those arrogant pricks. Seeing their faces go from smug to horror is almost as satisfying as sleeping in nice, comfy bed or taking the most satisfying shit ever.'

"NEXT, Mesa Uchiha"

Hearing his name being called out, Mesa walks up to the profound assessment stone. On the way there he quickly glances at Ao Yan and sees that he still has his smug smile on face. Coming up to the profound assessment stone, Mesa places his hand on it and lets the profound assessment stone measure his strength that he wants it to measure.

Age: 17 year's old

Strength: half-step True Profound Realm

Qualifications: qualified.

As the results are made known, everyone in the hall goes wide eyed at Mesa's strength level. Ao Yan who, up until this point, still had a self-satisfying smile on his face immediately froze up and stared at Mesa's results.

"Haha... You are the most outstanding of all the examinees I've received today. Being half-step into the True Profound Realm at an age of seventeen, truly remarkable. Work hard and maybe in a year's time you can enter the Middle Palace." Said the old man with genuine smile.

"Thank you for the kind words, Senior. I shall do my utmost best to meet your expectations." Said Mesa with a small bow before he left the stage. On his way down he glanced at Ao Yan, who was staring daggers at him, giving him a smug, self-satisfying smile that immediately caused Ao Yan to get enraged.

'Ohh man.. I seriously think I'm getting addicted to this feeling of putting those smug assholes in their places.' Thought Mesa to himself with a smile.

Getting back to his place, just a few feet away from Ao Yan, Mesa was just standing there not paying to anyone else while the people around him were saying thing about him being from some great family and also how his name sounds weird to them. Before long Ao Yan came up to him and started to brag to Mesa in his face.

"Mesa Uchiha, don't think that you are great just because your profound strength rank is higher than mine. Profound Strength does not represent combat strength; only profound practitioners with strong profound arts and profound skills are worthy to be called true profound practitioners. But unfortunately, that is impossible for a profound practitioner like you who is probably from some remote unknown place at the farthest end of the Blue Wind Empire. Although your profound strength is one rank higher than mine, but let alone one rank; even if it's three ranks higher, it would still be impossible for you to be my match." Said Ao Yan to Mesa, who was just picking his teeth with a toothpick and spitting out the gunk between his teeth without even looking at Ao Yan. Seeing how Mesa was disrespecting him, made Ao Yan even madder than he was.

"HEEYY!! I am talking to you! You listen when you superiors speak to you!" screamed Ao Yan at Mesa who just now glanced at him nonchalantly.

"Hmm?... You talking to me? Sorry about that, it's just that I would rather do anything else than to listen to you." Said Mesa nonchalantly

"Like what?!" hissed Ao Yan.

"Like taking a shit!" said Mesa straight into Ao Yan's face who was at this point seething with rage.

"Care to repeat that!" hissed Ao Yan.

"Gladly! I. Would rather! Take a nice, haaaaaaaaaaarrrddd shit! Than to listen to you brag about yourself just because I hurt your 'wittle feeling' when I took your 'number one' spot. You pathetic piece of shit." Said Mesa in disgust to Ao Yan straight in face. Ao Yan, who at this point, had enough of Mesa's mockery was just about to attack him when Mesa suddenly cut him off.

"Be careful, boy! No fighting allowed here. If you attack me, I will defend myself and all these people around us will be our witnesses." Said Mesa, after which Ao Yan looked around himself and saw that there were to many witnesses for him to get away. Realizing that fact, Ao Yan turned around and walked away in fury swearing to make Mesa pay for his insult.

The next part of the strength assessment test was the combat assessment test.

And elderly man looked at the batch of examinees who passed the first round and spoke up to them.

"Don't think that everything is already well just from passing the Profound Strength Assessment. Within the twenty-nine of you, at most half would be able to pass this Combat Strength Assessment. If you want to stay in the Blue Moon Profound Palace, then display your profound strength to the best of your abilities. The examination's content is very simple. Every one of you will exchange seven blows with one of your future senior brothers. Victory or defeat does not matter in this exchange of blows, and it's impossible for you to win anyways. What we wish to see is the extent of your ability to unleash profound strength in a real battle. I'll be watching from the side and will also make the final decision. Those who pass, will become our Blue Moon Profound Palace's disciple. Those who fail, will have to leave. Feng Yue, it's your time to enter the stage." Said the old man after which an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man came up.

"Don't worry Instructor Qi, leave it to me." Said Feng Yue with great pride. Those Outer Palace students who saw that Feng Yue, of the Middle Palace, was taking part in the examination, started to feel sorry for the examinees. Feng Yue was known to be very rough on the examinees and thus far nobody had won against him.

And so the examinees went up against Feng Yue, who took no pity on them and injured a lot of them. The examinees had seven moves to use against the Feng yue, the examiner, who would fight back and after that the judges would decide whether the examinee passed or not. Yet when Ao Yan went up against him, Feng Yue did not go rough against him. Ao Yan had even pushed Feng Yue back, clearly a show put up by both of them to make Ao Yan look better in front of the judges. After that came Mesa's turn.

'I see~. Guess those two are in cahoots with each other. No matter, I will finish this in one punch man... Hehehe..... One Punch Man.' thought Mesa to himself in amus.e.m.e.nt.

"Name is Mesa Uchiha."

"Ohhh... So you're the Mesa Uchiha, the guy who came in at number one during the profound strength assessment. Nice to finally put a face to the name." said Feng Yue mockingly with a look in his face as if he wanted to devour him.

"Before we start. Let's say I, hypothetically, managed to hurt you. Do I need to take responsibility for it." said Mesa with a smile.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA... YOU!! HURT ME!! HAHAHAHAHAH... That has got to be the funniest joke I have ever heard. Don't worry, even if you somehow 'killed' me. Absolutely no one will blame you for it. That is, if you can even hurt me at all in the first place... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." Said Feng Yue as he was mocking Mesa even further.

"Good...." said Mesa before his smile suddenly dropped.

"Now shut your goddam face and fight me you p.u.s.s.y!" yelled Mesa at Feng Yue who immediately became enraged at Mesa's insult.

"You dare mock me! Very well then, don't blame me if I accidently hurt you then." Said Feng Yue as the referee started the match.

"FIRST MOVE!" yelled out Feng Yue as he instantly appeared in front of Mesa and threw a punch with all his strength straight into Mesa's stomach, causing him to hunch over in 'pain' and puke out a mouthful of blood. Thinking that this was all it took to hurt him, Feng Yue was kinda disappointed before Mesa looked up and looked him straight in the eyes.

"MY TURN." Said Mesa with a big smile on his face that said 'You f.u.c.k.i.e.d up big time, boy' and punched him straight in the face knocking him all the way to the other side of the room, straight into a wall. Upon closer examination, it was clear that Feng Yue was knocked unconscious and the right side of his face was completely caved in. His jaw was most likely broken and his teeth were lying all over the place and his nose was bleeding profusely.

Seeing his handiwork, Mesa turned to the judges and simply said.

"I WON"
