Research the sects and their entrance exams. What are they famous for? What are their martial arts? Should we become an Outer Disciple, what will be expected of us? What will we gain as a Disciple? Sign up for the exams afterwards.
You spend sometime in one of the larger towns learning all that you can about the sects and quickly find out that not all that much is actually known to most of the country as the two Sects prefer to cleanly decide themselves from common affairs. The first sect you learn about is the Wind Sect, a martial sect focused on the cultivation of archery, who is holding entrance exams for a total of a hundred new outer disciples leaving you some breathing room if you wish to join despite the vast differences in focus. Finally, there is the Gargantuan Heaven Sect which focuses heavily on the cultivation of one's body to use it as a weapon and a shield, their entrance exams are being held in order to recruit two thousand new outer disciples. Both Sects have kept their requirements of their disciples quite heavily under wraps, but its widely known that each of them control roughly thirty percent of the Empire's resources to spread among its disciples.
You hesitate for a moment before deciding to head to sign up for the exams due to how little you actually learned.
