C16 The Assessment Process
Three days later, the enrollment day officially arrived.
On the flat ground. There were tens of thousands of people, all of whom were gathered here according to the Star Seizing Tower's arrangement, waiting for further news. Ye Faang and the other two were standing at the back. They were pushed to the ground, and it wasn't easy for them to regain their footing. Liang Guan followed them, murmuring in a low voice. He was secretly cursing the Star Seizing Tower for not choosing a bigger place.
"Look!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"Ah!" "Ahhhhhhh!"
. . .
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell one after another. More than twenty figures were riding their swords in the cloudy sky. The leader was a middle-aged man who was wearing a purple robe. His hair and beard were fluttering in the wind, and his clothes were fluttering in the wind. He looked like a god that had descended from the nine heavens. When the crowd saw this scene, they were all filled with envy. They didn't know when they would be able to cultivate such a divine ability.
The flying speed of the sword was extremely fast. Everyone didn't even have the time to blink when the group of Star Seizing Tower, led by the middle-aged man in purple, landed on a tall platform in an orderly manner. The tall platform was facing the crowd below, which made it convenient for them to speak.
The middle-aged man in purple stood on the platform. On both sides of the platform were twenty disciples in purple who had flown over together with him. All of them had heroic spirits on their faces, and they were all extraordinarily handsome. The purple-clothed middle-aged man obviously had a higher status. In front of all of them, a unique aura of a self-cultivator was emitted. For no reason whatsoever, everyone below the stage felt a sense of respect. Everyone looked at him with reverence, and the originally noisy scene instantly became extremely silent. They could even hear the sound of a needle dropping.
The purple-clothed middle-aged man seemed to be very satisfied with the result of his arrival. A smile appeared on his face, and he cleared his throat as he said, "Everyone, Wen Yuefeng of the Supreme Palace, under the orders of my Great Elder, the current Reverend Tower Lord Boya of the Star Seizing Tower, I am here to welcome all of you. "
His voice wasn't loud, but everyone present could clearly hear every word he said. As the saying goes, "the name of a man, the shadow of a tree. " As soon as he introduced himself, the audience immediately let out cries of surprise, accompanied by incessant conversations.
Ye Faang did not know anyone. Seeing the excitement on most people's faces, he knew that the middle-aged man in purple must be a big shot. He could not help but ask Liang Guan curiously, "Liang, you have seen a lot of things. Do you know what kind of person Wen Yuefeng is on the stage?"
His words delighted Liang Guan. After he indulged himself for a while, He replied, "This Wen Yuefeng is very famous. He is the disciple of the Supreme Palace's Great Elder, Master Boya. He is the outstanding genius of the Supreme Palace's younger generation, and his cultivation base has reached the late Nascent Infant. It is said that he is about to break through to the Acupoint Opening realm. A few years ago, someone in the Cultivation Realm commented that the disciples with the most potential in their respective sects are Wen Yuefeng. He is one of the disciples of the Supreme Palace. "
King Zhu couldn't help but ask when he saw the tone of his voice. "He is. One, could it be that there is someone from the Supreme Palace who has the potential to become the disciple with the greatest potential? "
Liang Guan suddenly stopped joking and put on a serious expression as he said, "Of course. The Supreme Palace is known as the number one sect in the Cultivation Realm, how could there be only one person selected? There is also another person. No matter if it was his cultivation base or talent, everyone in Cultivation Realm thought that he was the most likely person to ascend in a thousand years. This man was simply a weirdo of the Cultivation Realm. She was the model that we learned from later on. She suppressed the Green Wood Banner's Yun Soong, Fierce Wind Sect's Yuan Liuxia, Moon Worshipping Sect's Fairy Tian Yi, and the others who were in the limelight in Cultivation Realm at that time. She became the publicly acknowledged number one expert of the younger generation in the Cultivation Realm. "
"Why are you keeping me in suspense? Quickly tell me, who is this person you are talking about?"
Even King Zhu, who had always been calm, had his appetite whetted up, urging him to speak quickly.
Liang Guan said in all seriousness, "This person, someone said that she is a fairy descending from the heavens. Some people say that she is the incarnation of a devil from the Underworld, because she is extremely beautiful. Jadeskin. Countless people were fascinated by it. However, she was cold and heartless towards others. Anyone who offended her. . . Most of them were cruel to her. Many of the ignorant and incompetent disciples in Cultivation Realm had suffered under her hands. As for some of the people with bad reputations and even the most ferocious ones. . . If they met her, they could only lament their misfortune. For so many years. . . I don't know how many demons and devils have died at her hands. "
King Zhu was getting impatient when he saw that he had yet to reveal his name. He glared at him. Liang Guan laughed in his heart and stopped talking nonsense. He continued, "We might have to address this person as senior sister in the future. She had cultivated in Star Seizing Tower before. Later on, she entered the Supreme Palace after her cultivation had reached a certain level. There was a saying circulating in the Cultivation Realm: 'Chaotic flowers fly in the sky,' and 'Flowing Rainbow Snow Reflection'. It refers to the four young experts of the Cultivation Realm, and the Snow Reflection refers to Tia Huilann of the Supreme Palace. "
" Oh. " The more Ye Fang heard, the more interested he became, "How did she get the name of this Snow Reflection? And who are the other people?"
At this moment, Wen Yuefeng on the stage was saying some polite words like 'welcome'. He also praised the Supreme Palace as the number one cultivation sect in the world. Ye Faang and the other two naturally didn't want to listen to his praise. When Liang Guan saw that the two brothers were humbly asking for guidance, his vanity as a teacher was greatly satisfied. He said, "The Chaotic Flower Flying Whisk and the Flowing Rainbow Snow Reflection are the names of the four young warriors in Cultivation Realm. The Chaotic Flower refers to Yun Soong of Green Wood Banner. Flying Whisk is Yuan Liuxia of Fierce Wind Sect, and Flowing Rainbow is the Heavenly Raiment of Moon Worshipping Sect. The Snow Reflection is Tia Huilann of Supreme Palace. The four of them had already reached the stage where they could get out of it many years ago, and what realm had their current cultivation reached? Outsiders had no way of knowing. It was said that Tia Huilann had the highest cultivation among the four of them. One of her divine swords, the Snow Reflection, was an ancient divine weapon. It had supreme uses. This is the name of her Snow Reflection. "
Ye Faang and King Zhu gained some experience after hearing his words. At this moment, Wen Yuefeng happened to be talking about the recruitment test. Ye Faang hurriedly gestured to the two of them to keep quiet and listened attentively to his words.
"Everyone, today is the recruitment test held once every ten years by the Star Seizing Tower. I am under Tower Lord's orders to preside over this recruitment test. I want to select the most outstanding and potential disciples, and I hope that one day, I will be able to bring honor to all the sects. "
After Wen Yuefeng finished speaking, he swept his gaze across the crowd below the stage. He changed the topic and said, "This time, the Star Seizing Tower will only recruit around two thousand disciples. Therefore, most of you here will definitely be eliminated. I am here to say something, victory is a blessing in disguise. Even if you are defeated, you should not feel disheartened. If I can't take the exam this time, I still have a chance in ten years. Everyone, please correct your mindset. Alright, I won't say anymore. Announce the recruitment process now. "
A disciple in purple on the left walked up. He said in a clear voice, "According to the rules of the Star Seizing Tower's disciple recruitment meeting, there are a total of 9,763 participants. All of them are qualified to be referenced after the examination. All the disciples were divided into twenty groups. The first nineteen groups had 488 people per group, and the twentieth group had 491 people. The names of each group will be announced now. Please take a look. "
After saying that, he waved his hands towards the sky. A purple mist surged out, forming a nearly 30 meter light mirror in the air. Rows of names flashed from time to time, and even those standing at the back could clearly see them.
Ye Faang, Liang Guan, and King Zhu were divided into the sixteenth group.
About an hour later, the name list was announced. The purple clothed disciple waved his hand and the mirror disappeared. The purple clothed disciple's expression did not change as he returned to the group. It seemed that his actions just now did not consume much of his true essence. Wen Yuefeng asked, "Everyone, did you see the name list just now?"
The crowd responded with a loud bang.
Wen Yue Feng said, "Everyone must remember your group names. Later, each group will go to a designated area to take the test. This test is divided into three stages. Those who pass it successfully will become a disciple of the Star Seizing Tower. There might be some danger during this period of time, but it won't hurt everyone's lives. Alright, let's start the exam now. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the twenty purple robed disciples shouted," Group one, follow me. Group two, follow me. . .
Everyone followed the lead purple robed disciple to the designated area. The previously bustling area became empty in an instant. The one leading Ye Faang's group was the disciple who had announced the name list earlier. Close to 500 people followed behind him. It could be considered a huge group. After passing through the pavilions and pavilions, Everyone had already arrived in front of a lofty pavilion. The violet-robed disciple stopped in his tracks. He said, "Alright, we've arrived. "
The group of people stopped here and curiously sized up their surroundings.
The purple-clothed disciple bowed to the pavilion and said, "Master, the sixteenth group has arrived. "
A clear voice came from the pavilion. "Got it. Tell them the sequence of the examination and come in in one by one. "
The purple-clothed disciple bowed again, turned around, and said to the crowd, "After you hear my name, go in and accept Master's examination. If you can pass smoothly, you will reach another place. If you don't pass, someone will cast a spell to send you down the mountain and won't stay here. Do you understand?"
When the crowd saw that the test was about to begin, they were nervous and rarely agreed.
The purple-clothed disciple understood the nervousness of the examinees, but he didn't mind. He smiled and began to sign up. Once, five people went in and each of them went into five rooms.
Thus, the long wait began again. The crowd did not know what the results of the previous examinees were, but they were guessing what the examination was. The more they thought about it, the more nervous they became. A few people even began to feel restless.
After nearly three hundred people went in, Ye Faang and the other two finally heard the purple-clothed disciples say their names. The three of them entered together with the other two.
Ye Faang felt uneasy and somewhat expectant. He also felt somewhat excited. The five of them walked into the attic one after another. It turned out that there was another world inside. The five secret rooms that faced them had the words Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth written on them. Ye Faang and the other two looked at each other and nodded, giving each other an encouraging look. Ye Faang chose the dirt room. Liang Guan chose the gold room, and King Zhu chose the wood room. The other two chose the water and fire room.
He walked to the mud room. With a loud bang, the wall separated to the sides, revealing an entrance that only one person could pass through. Ye Faang walked in without hesitation, and the wall closed with a loud bang. The room was extremely spacious, and there was sufficient light. In the distance, there was a person standing with his hands behind his back. Clearly, he was the examiner.
"What's your name?" The examiner's voice wasn't loud, but it sounded very dignified.
"My name is Ye Faang. "
The examiner turned around. The arrangement of the facial features on the square face was very strange, and it made people want to laugh. However, Ye Faang did not dare laugh, because this person's gaze was too sharp, like a sharp sword.
"Before you, a total of 196 people were eliminated. I hope you don't become the one hundred and ninety-seventh. " The examiner said indifferently.
Ye Faang raised his eyebrows and said firmly: "No matter what, I will persevere. "
"Very good. " The examiner sneered, "I hope your actions are as powerful as your words. Let's begin. The first stage, if you don't fall after receiving three of my palm strikes, then you pass. "
Ye Faang nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He stood still and focused his mind.
If an ordinary person received a palm strike from a cultivator, then they would die without a doubt. But this was the Star Seizing Tower's test of a disciple's physical endurance. Naturally, it was a test of a normal person's physique.
"Pay attention!" The examiner shouted lightly and pressed his palm lightly. An extremely gentle force was spat out.
Since it was said that he would receive it head on, he naturally could not avoid it. Ye Faang willed it. The black vortex within his body immediately sped up. The black airflow filled his meridians and his entire body immediately tensed up like iron.
