The middle-aged man put his left hand behind his back, stroked his long beard with his right hand, and said to the crowd below, "I am the Grand Elder of Qingxuan College. I am in charge of the enrollment in Donglin Country this year. Thank you all for applying to Qingxuan College. Now I will tell you about the content of the entrance examination.
This test consists of two parts. The first is to test your innate strength. Those with innate strength above Earth Grade will pass. The second is to test your martial arts ability.
Now let's proceed to the first test. Those who have registered, please line up at the table over there and take the test."
The people in the audience were talking as they walked towards the place where talent was tested.
"Talent is divided into three levels from high to low: Heavenly, Earthly, Mysterious, and Yellow. Most people can't even reach Earthly!"
"Earth grade, such a high talent. This crystal pillar for testing talent is also rare. Most of the cultivators in Donglin Kingdom have never tested it."
"Yeah, I feel like I can't reach the level of earth quality."
Most people were anxiously guessing the level of their own talent.
Gu Liyue said to Aunt Yu, "Aunt Yu, please wait for me over there."
Aunt Yu nodded.
After saying that, he and Wen Qinnuan followed the crowd to the side to line up.
Wen Qinnuan said to Gu Liyue, "This talent requires a very high level of talent. This test may eliminate many people."
Gu Liyue nodded without replying.
She continued, "I heard there are about 3,000 applicants this time. The chances of getting 50 out of 3,000 are a bit low."
Looking at the calm Gu Liyue, Wen Qinnuan couldn't help but feel curious. She was so nervous that she kept talking, so why wasn't Gu Liyue worried at all?
She couldn't help but ask, "Liyue, aren't you worried?"
"worry about what?"
"Are you worried that your innate ability isn't at the Earth level?"
"It's said that talent is almost always innate. If worrying could increase it, then I'd worry about it, but it obviously can't. So what's the point of worrying?"
"Ah, so that's how it is. That's right."
At this time, the people queuing in front began to test their talents. From a distance, the five crystal pillars did not seem to be particularly bright. Could it be that none of them were above the Earth Grade?
The bigwigs in the stands all had solemn expressions on their faces. The Great Elder only smiled slightly and said to everyone present, "The test has just begun. Perhaps those above the Earth Rank are still to come!"
The people from the noble families couldn't help but pay attention to their own descendants and quietly watched the situation on the field.
Time passed slowly. It was estimated that there were about a hundred people who had been tested, but no one above the earth level had been found. Everyone was feeling a little depressed and anxious.
At this time, the crystal pillar in front slowly lit up. Wen Qinnuan, who was in front of Gu Liyue, turned around excitedly and said, "Liyue, look, we finally see someone who has passed the test, and it's a Heavenly Grade one. What a powerful one!"
Then I heard the person next to me say, "This is Qiao Zhiwen, the son of the Lord of Linfeng City next door. I heard that he is only eighteen years old, but he can refine third-level pills."
"You're truly a genius!"
"Qiao Zhiwen is handsome, but he looks a little thin."
"Indeed, that's the feeling he gives."
Finally, the first person who passed the level appeared, which undoubtedly brought hope to everyone.
At this moment, City Lord Qiao was also in high spirits in the stands.
An old man next to him said sourly, "City Lord Qiao, your son is indeed very talented."
City Lord Qiao smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I wonder how many disciples of your Gu family have signed up this year?"
Gu Zhen felt a little regretful for being so talkative just now. He whispered, "The Gu family has fifteen disciples who have signed up this year."
Fifteen is a bit too few for aristocratic families, let alone for an entire city. Linfeng City alone has seventy or eighty people coming this year.
City Lord Qiao had some conflicts with the Gu family, a family of alchemy practitioners, because his son was also an alchemy practitioner. He also disliked Gu Zhen's character, and whenever he met him, he couldn't help but want to hurt him with words.
"City Lord Qiao, your son seems to have some congenital deficiencies. As the lord of a city, you should also give him some supplements."
They are all old foxes, and they always hit the other party's sore spots when they speak.
As everyone knows, this congenital deficiency is difficult to make up for, and it can only be taken good care of. I don’t know how many spirit stones and natural treasures it will cost to cultivate it to this state.
City Lord Qiao suppressed his anger and continued, "I heard that something happened to your Gu family recently, making your Gu family famous in Donglin City! Hehehe!"
Gu Zhen's face darkened and he turned his head away without saying anything.
He felt bad. Thinking back on the past month, nothing had made him feel comfortable. He hoped that the fifteen disciples of the Gu family could enter Qingxuan Academy today.
He couldn't help but pay attention to the venue for testing talent and ability, and saw that it was almost the turn of the Gu family disciples.
After a while, three more earth-grade ones were detected.
In the other team, it was Li Xiuyuan and Li Wushuang's turn.
Li Wushuang walked to the front of the test bench. She placed her right hand in front of the crystal column and injected spiritual power into it. The light on the crystal column rose rapidly, then slowed down halfway and finally stopped at the middle of the earth grade. She also had the innate power of the earth grade.
Li Wushuang raised her head proudly and looked around. She found that everyone around her was looking at her with envy, which greatly satisfied her vanity. She smiled with satisfaction.
Then Li Xiuyuan walked forward and put his hand on it. The light on the crystal column rose rapidly, passed the earth grade, slowly rose to the heaven grade, and finally stopped in the middle of the heaven grade.
There was an uproar all around, and finally another top-grade one appeared.
"Heavenly Grade! No wonder Li Xiuyuan can draw a third-order talisman. It turns out he's a Heavenly Grade!"
The head of the Li family sat in the stands, watching his children's outstanding performance, and he put aside his uneasy heart and smiled.
Li Xiuyuan took Li Wushuang to the sidelines to wait and prepare for the second test.
It was the turn of the Gu family member. Gu Yaoyao's face was a little pale, but she was in good spirits. She walked to the front of the crystal pillar, stretched out her hand, and placed it on the crystal pillar. The light slowly rose.
She stared nervously at the rising light, watching it slowly approach halfway. Finally, when it reached halfway, it stopped. It was barely earth grade.
Gu Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, finally passing the test.
Behind her was Xiao Furou. She knew that her cultivation was not as good as Gu Yaoyao's, so she became even more nervous when she went up to test it. The speed at which the light on the crystal column rose was very slow at the beginning, and it seemed as if it was reluctant to go up.
Xiao Furou was already nervous, and she was determined to get into Qingxuan College this time.
Although she was thirteen years old, even if she couldn't enter Qingxuan Academy this time, she would still be old enough for the next one. But ever since she met Nie Hengzhou, she had only wanted to be by his side. She didn't want to miss this opportunity.
She felt angry when she saw the slow light. She wished she could push it directly to the ground level, which made her very anxious.
Fortunately, the light finally reached the earth level and stopped just at that level.
This result made Xiao Furou delighted, as she was one step closer to Nie Hengzhou.
Next was the third prince Xiao Xianchuan who was accompanying her. His talent power was measured to be slightly higher than Gu Yaoyao's, but it was also at the Earth level.
Gu Yaoyao deliberately pulled Xiao Xianchuan past Gu Liyue. She held Xiao Xianchuan's arm, pressed her whole body against him, glanced at Gu Liyue, and walked towards the rest area proudly.
As she walked past Gu Liyue, she couldn't help but glance at her again, and found that she didn't notice her at all. Gu Yaoyao was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet.
