After a night's rest, all members were brought to the front of a tall stone building, where the sixteen captains of the Martial Halls were lined up neatly at the front. Soon after, Lucio stepped forward as the representative and summarised the entire process of the assessment.

Finally, he announced the list of names of the seven contestants qualified for the inner island assessment.

Without a doubt, Balton, Jaston, Mina, Saimus, and Alicia were qualified for the assessment as they had shown great performances before.

Furthermore, one other contestant, who was not outstanding before but performed well in the island exploration, had successfully entered the final list.

Needless to say, the last person was Fade, who fought with Balton and caused a competition amongst the Halls.

Under the eyes of the envious and excited students, the seven of them stepped forward.

Lucio glanced at everyone and said, "Now, you can all choose to enter the Martial Hall of your liking."

Those that had a Martial Hall of their preference moved forward and made their decision without any hesitation.

Bolton joined Thunder Hall, Jaston joined Poison Cloud Hall, Mina entered the Beauties Hall, Saimus joined Green Wood Hall, and the one who came in 6th chose Stormy Hall. With that, only Fade and Alicia were left as they had no choice of their own.

"What choice will the two of you make?" The attention of the captains and the students immediately fell onto the two of them. Alicia looked over at Fade, not saying a word. She was waiting for his decision as she wanted to choose the same Hall as him.

Immediately, everyone's attention fell upon him, waiting for his decision.

Even the few of the captains couldn't help but felt nervous as well.

Of course, the most nervous of them all was Nestor. He was expecting as well.

Right then, Saimus has already chosen to join Green Wood Hall. If Fade chose Green Wood Hall as well, Alicia would follow suit.

If things went this way, Green Wood Hall would gain 3 out of 7 from this assessment. What a tremendous gain it would be.

However, at this moment, Fade had yet to make a choice.

"Fade, if you have any requests towards the provided conditions, do feel free to put it forward. Fiery Flame Hall is more than willing to add to it." The captain made his last persuasion.

When the other captains saw this, they added their conditions as well in hopes for him to choose them.

Upon seeing this, Nestor naturally did not back down as well. He hurriedly said, "Fade, I am willing to add on 30% onto the conditions that we have spoken upon yesterday. This is of the utmost sincerity from Green Wood Hall. Furthermore, I believe that no other Martial Hall can provide such conditions as well."

Upon hearing this, Fade finally raised his head and said to Nestor, "Mr. Moo, thank you for your sincerity."

"However, I have already made up my mind."

"What do you mean?" Nestor asked.

Fade took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Moo, I have already decided not to enter any Martial Halls for the time being."

What?!

Upon hearing this, not only the students but even the captains were all taken aback.

Nestor then frowned in frustration and looked at Fade in confusion.

He took a deep breath, seemingly to be suppressing this impulse in his heart. He looked at Fade and said, "Fade, do you have any requests? If you do, don't hesitate to put it forward. As long as it's doable, we are always up for negotiation."

Fade shook his head and said, "Mr. Moo, what I have said comes with all sincerity. I am certain that I do not want to join any Martial Halls for the time being."

"And why is that?" Nestor's face was full of confusion. "You have to know that after joining a Hall, your path in martial arts will be smoother and you'll be able to move further as well." "Mr. Moo, this is my choice right now," Fade apologized.

Of course, deep down, he did not speak of his real reason.

After having Nestor explain the structures and arrangements of the Martial Halls, Fade came to a realization.

Even if his performance was exceptional and all captains wanted him, he would remain a regular member. Moreover, the highest position he could attain was as the main deacon of the Hall.

The positions superior to the main deacon. such as the chief and the superiors in the Three Palaces, would be impossible for Fade to attain after joining the Martial Halls.

On such an important day for the students, the chiefs of the 16 Martial Halls were absent. Not even a single main deacon of the superiors attended.

Therefore, to some extent, the attention that the inner island was paying them was just that.

Of course, one of the most prominent reasons for Fade's refusal was that he did not want to be trapped on the inner island for an entire year and only be able to leave for a week each year. "Mr. Moo, I apologize for letting you down!" Fade once again apologized to him.

Upon seeing this, Alicia on the side then spoke up as well, "My choice will be the same as Fade."

After this, most of the expressions of the chiefs of the Martial Halls darkened.

The behaviors of both Fade and Alicia seemed to be rebellious in their eyes.

That was because in the eyes of others, being chosen as the qualified members of the inner islands was a great honor. However, after the two refused the offer to enter the inner islands, it had made the 16 Halls feel embarrassed.

However, Nestor did not give up. He clapped his hands and said, "Fade did say that he has not decided yet at the moment. Who's to say that he won't change his mind?"

"How about this? I'll give you another chance. Let us know your decision after the final mission. What do you think?"

"The last mission?" Fade looked at him in surprise. The other students looked over to Nestor as well.

After all, everyone was informed that the island exploration was already the final mission. Why was there still another final mission?

Upon seeing this, Nestor explained

to everyone. The last mission that I have mentioned is not part of the assessment. Rather, it is a mission up to your own decision." "The purpose of this mission is to explore the Prohibition Tree."

'What is the Prohibition Tree? Why haven't we heard of it before?"

"Prohibition Tree exploration? What is to be explored?"

Immediately, they raised all kinds of questions.

Nestor patiently explained, "The Prohibition Tree only exists on Prohibition Island. It has abundant energy, which covers all directions."

"If you accept your mission is to comprehend the Prohibition Qi from the Prohibition Tree. Every streak of the Prohibition Qi will receive a corresponding reward. Finally, the reward will be given in accordance with the total amount of Prohibition QPcomprehended."

"If you have an outstanding performance, you might even receive an elixir core and move forward into the Lord Level." Everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing the words

'elixir core.'
