C10 Test of Strength

"That's great, Sister Pyle! We can be together in the future! " Yuan Yingxuan pulled up Chen Pei'er, who had just come to her side, and said excitedly.

Ye Chen also smiled and nodded, congratulating him.

Chen Pei'er's eyes were slightly red. Tears could still be seen on her cheeks, but her heart was filled with happiness. Because all of this was like a dream. Coming to the Immortal Island was something she had never thought of before.

"Cough, cough!"

A group of children were whispering to each other in groups of twos and threes. As they were sizing up the island and the 'immortal' in their hearts, a voice was heard.

Soon after, a scholar with a fan in his hand leisurely walked in front of these children.

"Let me first introduce myself. I am Zhao Qiu Sheng, nicknamed Scholar Xiao, and am the Vice Principal of the Northern Courtyard of the Dao Palace." The scholar said to the group of children with a smile.

Finished, he looked at a few of the kids and nodded to himself. Ye Chen and Yuan Yingxuan were two of them.

"Greetings, Exalted Immortal!"

Some of the children hurriedly said after hearing what was said, afraid that they would anger this group of 'immortals'.

The scholar waved his fan. He slapped the armrest and said, "I'm not some immortal. I'm just a small character. You will all know about this in the future. Now go for the second test, the ink stone selection."

"Ah?" There's even a test! " The originally excited children, upon hearing this, once again felt an upheaval of emotions.

"Don't worry. Since you've already come here, even if your strength is insufficient, you can still enter the outer court to cultivate. Once you reach a certain strength, you can still enter the inner court." The scholar said.

"What is the outer court of the inner courtyard?" the bold child asked.

Simply put, the inner courtyard is where the elites reside. Most of you will enter the outer courtyard. The scholar gave a simple explanation.

While they were talking, several disciples of the academy carefully brought out a stone object. It was distinct in outline and as black as ink.

"This is an inkstone, measuring the strength of a person." Scholar Xiao pointed with his fan as he spoke.

This was a strange type of stone that had been discovered and excavated a long time ago. A color like ink was its symbol, although it was an ancient stone, its hardness was limited. In addition to its special attribute, it had become a common tool used to test a martial artist's strength.

Ye Chen was very familiar with this stone. On his own training field, there was a bigger ink stone. He had heard his father say before that this stone could measure an Earth Realm warrior's strength.

Uncle Xu Miaomiao had also said before, whenever he can surpass the limit of that piece of ink stone, he will be able to enter the Heaven Stage.

"Alright, let's not talk too much. You guys line up, one by one, place your hands on the inkstones, and then sink into your dantian, holding your breath." Scholar Xiao said.

Over a hundred youngsters, although still somewhat panicked after hearing this, quickly lined up into a long line.

The first one who came out was a boy who looked like he was in his thirties. He was a bit nervous and stood still, not knowing what to do.

"Don't be afraid, come here." One of the young disciples standing next to Scholar Xiao took a step forward and said.

The boy came to his senses and hurried to the side of the inkstone. Then, he raised his hand and carefully placed it on top of the inkstone.

"Hiss —"

Being caught unprepared, the boy called out. Mo Shi's temperature was very low, causing him to unconsciously let out a sound.

Discovering his "ugly state", the boy's face blushed.

"Relax, close your eyes and focus!" The young disciple beside him reminded him.

Slowly, the boy stopped being nervous and closed his eyes. The group of people behind him were all staring at the front, afraid that they would drop anything.

Not long after, the pitch black inkstone started to slowly light up, turning from a white light to a yellow one.

"Middle Huang Level, outer court, next!" The disciple from the academy took a look and said in a clear voice.

The boy opened his eyes. Although he was somewhat disappointed, he still walked to the side with a smile on his face. After all, he was a disciple of the Dao Palace!

After knowing the steps, everyone relaxed a lot, especially those whose strength exceeded middle stage Yellow Rank.

"Early Yellow Rank, outer court, next."

"Middle Huang Level, outer court, next!"

"Yellow Ranked Great Perfection, Inner Academy!"

After two people had just arrived, a dazzling yellow light suddenly shone from the inkstone. The disciple in charge of the academy looked at the person in front of him with some astonishment as he spoke.

"It's actually the great circle of the Yellow Rank!" How old is he? It looks like it's only seventeen or eighteen years old! " Someone behind him said in surprise.

This person was none other than Mu Yunge. He turned around and glanced at the crowd with a haughty expression. When his eyes swept across Ye Chen, a stern expression unconsciously flashed past, and was quickly replaced by a disdainful expression.

However, Ye Chen noticed it. He slightly frowned, but did not show it.

"Kid of the Mu Clan, his father and I have some friendship, come to my West Branch." The West Branch's Principal, Hundred Beasts, said.

The other chairmen didn't have any objections.

The strength of the following ten plus children were mostly at the early to middle Yellow Rank, and they all entered the outer court.

In fact, it could be seen from this that the Crimson King's County was a place where martial arts became common. Regardless of whether it was the descendants of influential families or children from ordinary families, they all had a certain level of foundation. At least everyone had a certain level of strength; otherwise, they wouldn't have come here.

"Next!"

As soon as his voice fell, a tall and sturdy young man walked up, his skin was dark, the muscles on his four limbs were extremely well-developed, and his expression was cold. Furthermore, he was far taller than his peers, and when he was by the side, he attracted many people's attention, including a few old fellows.

Step by step, he walked to the side of Mo Shi and placed his hand on it.

"This person is not simple." Ye Chen, who had been watching from the side, suddenly said.

"Ah?" This big black guy? " Yuan Yingxuan asked with a puzzled expression.

Ye Chen nodded. He could feel a sense of oppression from this man.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong green light burst out from within the inkstone.

"This is!"

Upon seeing the light, the nearby scholar, who had a smile plastered on his face, unconsciously stepped forward and said.

"Azure Light …" "Xuan class!" The disciple in charge of the academy said in disbelief.

However, in a split-second, the burly young man took his hand away from the inkstone. His expression did not change, and he walked to the side without saying a word.

"What did that senior brother say?" Xuan class! "How is this possible!?" A person who had reacted exclaimed in shock.

As if igniting the fuse, the people standing in line at the back began to look at each other in disbelief.

Scholar Xiao was the first to react. He was not far from the inkstone, so he was able to clearly see the light. He understood that it was not something that could be emitted by a simple Profound Ranked cultivator. It was … Xuan class late stage!
