C25 Assessment Middle

The teenagers who took the test lined up and walked through the wall of light one by one. The wall of light would produce circle after circle of strong or faint fluctuations. A few disciples of the Five Mountain Sect stood on either side of the wall of light. They were staring at these young men who had passed through the wall of light like a tiger watching its prey. They were directing the young men who had caused a strong fluctuation in the wall of light to one side. Those young men who had only caused a slight fluctuation in the wall of light were completely eliminated.

The youths who were eliminated had dejected expressions on their faces. They put their heads on their shoulders and walked towards the relatives at the side of the square. There were even some who hugged their heads and cried bitterly on the spot. Dreams were beautiful, but reality was always cruel. Initially, they were full of confidence, full of expectation and expectation, and came to Five Mountain Sect to accept the test. They all wanted to be chosen, to bring glory to their ancestors, and to become the top of the world. Who would have thought that they wouldn't even be able to pass the first round of the examination? The difference between them was just too great. They couldn't accept it and lost their composure on the spot.

Although they felt uncomfortable in their hearts, they had no choice but to accept this fact. Under the comforting and reproachful voices of their relatives, under the guidance of the disciples of Five Mountain Sect, they walked down the mountain and became one of the people who went down the mountain.

Soon, this group of youths had finished their examination, and only a dozen or so of them were left. Only then did a disciple of the Five Mountain Sect lead the remaining youths into the greenhouse.

This scene made Duanmu Kuang speechless. There were at least a few hundred young men in that group just now. After the assessment, there were only a dozen of them left, and this wasn't the end yet. It seemed like he would have to take the examination again after entering the shed to complete the first round of examination.

"This exam is too harsh. It's really hard for ordinary people to pass." Duanmu Kuang said to himself. However, even though the first test was difficult, he wasn't worried at all. Because he had already been told by Horse-Face's outer sect disciples that the wall of light was used to test a person's cultivation realm. The higher a person's cultivation level was, the greater the ripples they would cause when passing through the wall of light.

And what was tested in the greenhouse was bone age, which was the true age of the youths who passed the light wall test. In every sect's test, the cultivation level and age had a positive correlation. For example, if you were 15 years old, but your cultivation level was at the Xiantian Realm. This was definitely a genius with a bright future, but if you were already 20 years old... And you were still a Pre-Sky Realm martial artist, then you must have poor qualifications. There wouldn't be much room for growth in the future.

And the meaning of the bone age test was to discover these geniuses for the sect. Eliminate those with poor aptitudes. Duanmu Kuang was now fifteen years old, and his cultivation base was at the Innate Stage Realm. It was as easy as flipping his palm to pass this test. The first test was to test one's cultivation base and age. He was confident that he could pass it smoothly. What he was considering right now was the second and third test.

It was said that as long as one passed all three tests, one would be an inner sect disciple as soon as they entered the sect. But if you didn't pass one of the last two tests, then no matter how talented you are, he didn't want to become an outer sect disciple after entering the sect.

"Now, let's start the next batch of tests. Step out and move quickly!" While Duanmu Kuang was talking to himself, a disciple of the Five Mountain Sect shouted out loudly.

The crowd slowly moved forward. The young men passed through the wall of light one by one, as if they were going to sacrifice their lives for the sake of justice. After that, they were eliminated one by one. Only two young men passed the test of the wall of light, and were left behind by the disciples of the Five Mountain Sect.

Soon, it was Duanmu Kuang's turn. He strode forward and took a closer look at the crystal ball on the ground. Just as he was about to walk towards the wall of light, a loud shout was heard.

"Kid, what are you dawdling for? Duanmu Kuang looked up and saw a disciple of the Five Mountain Sect glaring at him. After that, he muttered, "Where did this country bumpkin come from?" He even looked at the crystal formation ball for half a day!"

Disdain. This was naked contempt. This fellow's eyes were about to grow on top of his head. Looking at the arrogant face of this Five Mountain Sect disciple, a flame of anger rose in Duanmu Kuang's heart. Just as he was about to flare up, he suddenly thought of something and curled his lips. Ignoring him, he strode towards the wall of light.

Sigh, a person under the roof has no choice but to lower his head. This disciple should be an inner sect disciple. Why were all the disciples of this big sect behaving like this? Each and every one of them had their eyes on the top of their heads. The same went to that Senior Brother Chen whom Senior Brother Zhang had mentioned earlier. The outer sect disciples were still the best. When he thought about the outer sect disciple surnamed Ma, Zhang, Duanmu Kuang sighed in his heart, and then he took a step towards the wall of light.

As soon as his body touched the wall of light, Duanmu Kuang immediately felt as if he had walked into a lake. The light on the wall was like the calm lake water, soaking his body. It was soft, and it made him feel lazy. It was incomparably comfortable.

But very quickly, the light on the wall became like a surging ocean. It was roaring, roaring. Like a ferocious beast, it pounced on Duanmu Kuang. Duanmu Kuang's pleasant feeling just now disappeared without a trace. He felt that the light on the wall of light was like waves of surging seawater that rushed into his body one after another, surging into his body.

The light passed through his meridians and converged into his dantian. In the vortex of Qi in his dantian, the Bloodthirsty Heavenly Bead rotated on its own, bringing along the entire crimson red Qi Sea to meet the light. The two energies quickly bit and bit together in his dantian. "So painful!" Boundless pain rose from his dantian and surged into his entire body. Duanmu Kuang's vision turned black. His consciousness was slowly fading away.

"Roar!" A wild beast's roar sounded in the depths of his consciousness. It carried an unyielding and arrogant aura. Duanmu Kuang also woke up from the roar, but he was soon shocked to the point that his guts were splitting apart. This kind of feeling, it was this kind of feeling again.

Duanmu Kuang could feel his blood boiling, like boiling water flowing through his blood vessels, rushing towards his forehead, making him lose his mind, making him want to go crazy, just like that day in Nanling Mountain Range.

"What's wrong with me?" Duanmu Kuang asked himself in his mind while he was still in a daze.

"No, I don't want to become like that!" Duanmu Kuang shouted angrily in his heart. Everything that happened that day was too terrifying. Everything that could be seen was blood. The sky was blood red. The earth was blood red, and the trees were blood red. Everything was blood red, and the savage stench of blood filled his mind. It made him angry, and it made him want to tear apart this bloody world.

"Oh right, I still have the Bloodthirsty Heavenly Bead. Can the Bloodthirsty Heavenly Bead help me?" When Duanmu Kuang thought of the scene from that day, he used a trace of his consciousness to activate the Azure Dragon Sky Shattering Spell to activate the Bloodthirsty Heavenly Bead in his sea of Qi.

The Bloodthirsty Heavenly Bead emitted a strong bloody light and swallowed the light that entered Duanmu Kuang's body. The blood-red light slowly flowed through his entire body. Under the cleansing of this blood-red light, the restlessness in Duanmu Kuang's heart slowly calmed down. The blood in his blood vessels also stopped boiling and began to flow slowly. Everything had stopped. Everything that had just happened was like a dream.

"Looks like there's something wrong with my body, but..." Although everything that had just happened was a dream, Duanmu Kuang knew. This had indeed happened before, just like the time in Nanling Mountain Range. This caused him to break out in a cold sweat. He had clearly checked his body that day. There was nothing abnormal at all, but why was it like that day just now? This made him very puzzled.

"Kid, you passed. Why aren't you standing to the side? Why are you standing there? The people behind don't need to take the test anymore, right?" An impatient voice sounded, waking Duanmu Kuang from his deep thoughts.

He looked back and found that he had crossed the wall of light. He was standing behind the wall of light. The young man who had been standing behind him was standing in front of the wall of light. However, he wasn't. He was looking at him pitifully.

Duanmu Kuang smiled awkwardly at him. He turned around and walked to the two young men who had passed the wall of light test. He stood next to them and quickly fell into deep thought.

Not long after, Duanmu Kuang and the other youths who had accepted the test had all finished the test. Only five of them had passed the test, which was less than half of the previous batch of youths who had passed the test. Apart from Duanmu Kuang, there were also three youths and a young girl. They stood together, but they weren't familiar with each other. They didn't talk either.

A disciple of the Five Mountain Sect gave an order, then he led the few of them to the greenhouse in front of them.
