C26 Assessment Low Assessing for Some Votes

In the shed, there was a square table with a square jade shining with rainbow light. In the middle of the table sat an old man with a long beard. On both sides of the old man were two middle-aged men wearing Deacon uniforms. At this moment, they were chatting and laughing. When they saw Duanmu Kuang and the others, they only slightly raised their heads and glanced at them. It was only when they saw Duanmu Kuang that their gazes stopped on him.

"Reporting to Chief Deacon, these five people have passed the first round of the examination. Now, this disciple has brought them here for the bone age examination." The disciple who led Duanmu Kuang and the others in bowed to the long-bearded elder.

"En, you can leave now." The long-bearded old man stroked his beard with one hand and waved.

"Yes, this disciple will retire." The disciple bowed again and walked out of the shed.

"Little guys, do you see the seven-colored square jade on the table? It's called the Bone Age Jade. As long as you put your hands on it, you will be able to accurately determine your age. Seven of them, each color represents an age, ranging from fifteen to twenty-one years old. " After the old man finished speaking, he smiled without saying anything. After Duanmu Kuang and the others digested it, he continued, "Alright, now you should all know who will come first."

Duanmu Kuang and the others looked at each other after hearing what he said. A slightly plump young man walked to the square table first and pressed his hand on the square jade. The square jade had seven colors flowing on it, and the yellow color on it became especially dazzling.

"En, peak Houtian, sixteen years old, pass. Next." After the slightly plump youth finished his test, the old man made some comments.

When the youths heard this, one by one they went forward to take the test, and the results were passed one after another. It had to be said that even though the number of youths that passed the first round of the test was small, they were all extraordinary.

"Little fellow, you're the only one left!" When the youths in front of him finished their test, the old man looked at Duanmu Kuang and spoke with a smile.

Duanmu Kuang was the last one to take the test. After hearing this, he strode forward. He gently pressed his hand on the seven-colored square jade. As soon as he touched it, Duanmu Kuang felt the seven-colored light on the square jade. It was as if mercury had seeped into his palm and into the bones of his palm.

The seven-colored light circulated once in his palm before returning to Fang Yu. After that, the green light on Fang Yu's palm flickered and became extremely dazzling.

"Xiantian Initial Stage, 15 years old, a good seedling, not bad, not bad..." After watching Duanmu Kuang's test, the old man stroked his long beard and praised Duanmu Kuang generously.

Two middle-aged men wearing Deacon uniforms looked at Duanmu Kuang with smiles in their eyes. A fifteen year old Xiantian, this was a genius! As long as he could pass the next test and enter the sect... In the future, the sect would have another new star in martial arts.

The other young men and women who were taking the test with Duanmu Kuang were even more dumbfounded. They were all at the peak of the Houtian realm. In their own territory, which one of them wasn't famous? Normally, who wouldn't give them a thumbs up when they saw them? And they also called themselves geniuses, superior to others.

But now, this young man who was taking the test with them... Not only was he already in the Xiantian realm, he was only fifteen years old. The difference between him and them was too great. It was so big that it shocked them. Even the way they looked at Duanmu Kuang changed subtly.

Duanmu Kuang remained calm in the face of the elder's praise and the strange gazes of the young men beside him. There was not a single ripple in his heart. He had passed the first test. It was already a matter of time before he passed the test. Now, his heart had already flown to the second part of the test. He was filled with anticipation and apprehension towards the next test.

"Little fellows, you have passed the first test. Now, let me tell you about the things you should pay attention to in the second test."

The old man's voice sounded again. After instructing Duanmu Kuang and the others, he ordered a middle-aged man next to him to take Duanmu Kuang and the others to the second test.

The second test was to test one's willpower. It was common knowledge that martial artists cultivated in martial arts. Breaking through the shackles of the body, competing with the Heavenly Dao for glory, wanting to live as long as the sun and moon. This act was like defying the heavens. The path of martial arts was long and difficult, if one did not have extraordinary willpower, then the path of martial arts would be extremely difficult. The path of martial arts would definitely not be long. This could be seen. The importance of willpower was self-evident.

The second test was said to be difficult, but it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. It was easier said than done. It was as easy as flipping a hand. This was entirely dependent on one's willpower. Duanmu Kuang bore a deep hatred for the enemy. He had gone through thousands of hardships, wandering between life and death. Although he was young, his willpower was far superior to ordinary people. Passing the second test was naturally as easy as flipping his hand. In the end, he passed smoothly and was brought to the last tent.

In the end, the examiner in the tent was also an old man. From the mouth of the Deacon that brought him in, Duanmu Kuang found out that the old man in front of him was the Ninth Elder of Five Mountain Sect. The Ninth Elder was sitting in front of a square table with a few middle-aged Deacon standing behind him. Five crystal balls of different colors were placed on the table in front of him.

However, at this moment, Ninth Elder's face was filled with frost. When the Deacon brought Duanmu Kuang in, he only waved his hand and ignored it. Then, he looked at the crystal balls on the table.

After the Deacon that brought Duanmu Kuang in left, only Duanmu Kuang was left standing there. He couldn't sit or stand. Ninth Elder seemed to have forgotten about his existence. He didn't even look at him. Just as Duanmu Kuang felt extremely awkward, a voice sounded from his right.

"Brother, come here!"

Duanmu Kuang followed the voice and saw a dozen young men standing ten meters away from his right hand. One of the young men was waving at him.

"Call me?" Duanmu Kuang thought to himself. He then looked at the Ninth Elder who was still sulking with his head lowered. He then walked quickly to the side of the group of youths and sized them up.

When he just entered the shed, Duanmu Kuang saw these young men. At that time, he thought that these young men had passed the test and stayed here. Looking at the current situation, it did not seem like they had passed the test. Instead, it seemed like they had not started the test just like him.

And looking at the Ninth Elder's expression, it was as if someone owed him money and hadn't paid him back. It was as ugly as if he had eaten a dead rat. Duanmu Kuang couldn't figure out the reason behind this, and he was dumbfounded.

"Brother, what are you daydreaming about?" While Duanmu Kuang was in a daze, the young man who had just waved at him suddenly came up and whispered to him.

Only now did Duanmu Kuang carefully see the young man's face. The young man was extraordinarily handsome and had a faint graceful bearing. At this moment, his eyes were looking at Duanmu Kuang with a smile, and there was a trace of brightness and liveliness in his eyes.

"My name is Zhou Yi Yang. Brother, what's your name?" Seeing that Duanmu Kuang did not speak, the young man spoke again.

"Oh, my name is Duanmu Kuang." Duanmu Kuang responded, then pointed at the Ninth Elder and asked the group of young men, "Brother Zhou, what's going on?"

"Uh, Brother Mr Duanmu, you're asking this. Actually, none of us have taken the test. That Ninth Elder..." Zhou Yi Yang sneakily looked in the direction of Ninth Elder before lying down beside Duanmu Kuang's ear and explaining in detail.

From Zhou Yi Yang's narration, Duanmu Kuang found out that Zhou Yi Yang had been in the shed for four hours. There were a few other youths who came earlier than him, and he didn't know how long they had been waiting for. This Ninth Elder didn't pay them any attention, and was just sulking alone.

As for why the Ninth Elder was like this? There was a reason for that. It was said that the Five Mountain Sect had been recruiting disciples for half a month. However, the aptitude of the youths that came to take the test this year was too poor. After half a month, not a single one of them had passed the test and become an inner circle disciple. Compared to the previous years, this was like the difference between heaven and earth.

The Ninth Elder, who was in charge of the test, was naturally ostracized and ridiculed by the other Elders because of this matter. It would be strange if he was in a good mood.
