Fade shook his head in puzzlement and said, "I was completely unconscious at that time. I thought I was dead, but when I woke up, I found myself floating in the sea."
"That...” Several chiefs frowned. His answer did not contain the answer that they wanted to know.
Hence, they asked a few more detailed questions.
Being unconscious at the time, he could not answer any of their questions. The chiefs couldn't tell if he was being truthful or not. Therefore, all they could do was discuss amongst themselves quietly.
After some discussion, Thurl looked at Fade and said, "The heart of that tree is very special. It is the core of the Prohibition Tree, and also an integral part of Prohibition Island."
"You are the first one to successfully enter the heart of the tree and come back safely. For safety's sake, we'd better carry out a physical examination on you to check for any side effects'’
They claimed it was just a health check-up, but in reality, they wanted to examine his physical condition to try and figure out if he was telling the truth or not.
Fade knew this, but he did not hesitate. Instead, he responded gratefully, "Many thanks to all of you for being so concerned with my health. I really appreciate it!"
"Chief, do I need to do anything?" Fade was at a loss.
Thurl replied, "Just stand where you are, and don't let your positive energy flow. Got that?"
"Got it!" Fade nodded and stood where he was obediently.
Then, he felt a different kind of energy enter his body. It explored every nerve, vessel, and organ inside him.
Naturally, the key part in which they explored was the dantian abdomen, as it was the core of his body.
It also contained the ever so important elixir core within.
Fade had already tried this before. Outsiders were able to examine his dantian abdomen, but not his elixir core.
However, after all, the sixteen chiefs were Lord Level masters.
He couldn't guarantee that they really wouldn't find out anything.
For a moment, he couldn't help getting nervous.
Under the eyes of the various chiefs, this sort of instinctive nervousness was a normal reaction. After all, when faced with the pressure of sixteen Lord Level experts, anyone would be shaking in their boots.
After careful investigation, the chiefs looked at each other and shook their heads.
Obviously, they did not find anything abnormal in his body.
Eventually, Thurl spoke up. "We are done with the examination. Fade, your body is simple, and your positive energy has increased by quite a bit. It seems like this experience has been a good one for you."
"Really? That's great. Thank you, everyone!" Fade's face was full of excitement.
Then, Janus said, "Fade, before entering the Prohibition Tree, we asked you to pick a Martial Hall to enter. At that time, you said you had to think about it. Have you come to a decision yet?"
Sure enough, the Hall selection was inevitably brought up.
For a moment, Fade could sense that Camelia, Red Serpent, and the others behind him were looking straight at him.
He paused slightly and said, "It's my honor to be chosen by all of the chiefs. It would be an honor to me to join any one of the Martial Halls."
