C8 Admission Assessment

After a short period of silence, waves of exclamations could be heard from the crowd.

"To use Qi to fly in the air, that is a method that only Air Defence Stage can employ!"

"That's right, this is a realm that many Patriarchs are unable to reach. Today, we actually met a lucky chance. Even if we are unable to pass the test, it would be worth it!"

"Could it be that the senior who is flying in the sky is the Geoscience Sect Supreme Elder who is presiding over this examination?"

"Silence!" The old man in the sky let out a low shout, immediately silencing the crowd.

His gaze seemed to have substance as it swept across the entire martial arts training field. His originally expressionless face gradually revealed a look of gratification: "Hmm, the strength of the candidates for this time's exam is not bad. It seems like all the great families and powers are very diligent.

As his voice fell, he casually waved his hand downwards and a vigorous wave of energy swept through the entire training grounds.

The crowd instinctively used their powers to resist, but to their surprise, they discovered that the power was not something they could withstand. It easily penetrated through their bodies without causing them any damage.

Rumble rumble rumble!

The power of the old man sunk into the ground and immediately activated the mechanism.

The ground of the entire training field started to turn. Everyone curiously dodged, and they soon discovered, to their surprise, that the ground was actually split into hundreds of pieces by the round bluestone blocks.

"Don't panic, this is the Earth Core Refinement Formation, it can measure your cultivation and strength, try to stay standing as long as you can, last, and then you can enter the Geoscience Sect!" After the old man explained, he waved his sleeve and flew off into the distance.

Everyone in the training grounds immediately picked their array stones, and stood in the center of the formation, either excited or nervous, in preparation to undergo the Geoscience Sect entrance examination.

Some of them even began to agilely pick and choose. They were planning on finding an array stone that was weaker in power. This way, they would be able to reduce the difficulty of the assessment.

Seeing this, Soong Tianxuan could only sneer inside, no matter what, this Geoscience Sect was still the overlord of a region, so how could it leave such an opening in the entrance examination.

Not to mention that in his previous life, although he wasn't proficient in array formations, he could see that there was only one core of the array formation. He had used some ingenious method to evenly distribute his strength among the countless array stones on the martial arts stage.

He gently stepped on the heart of the formation and began to adjust his own aura and mental state. In the beginning, it was nothing much, but as time passed, the formation stone under his feet began to produce a strange pulling force, making his body become heavier and heavier.

Not only Soong Tianxuan, but the others also encountered the same situation. Some of them could handle the stronger ones, but those who could not even reach the intermediate stage of the fleshly body were already swaying from side to side due to the difference in strength and mental strength.

Clang!

In less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn, some people had already begun falling. The veins on their faces bulged as they tried to prop themselves up with their hands on the ground.

However, he despairingly discovered that no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to resist the pulling force of the array stone. The pressure would only disappear if he moved outside the array stone.

In the end, except for a few extremely determined people who could barely stand up again, the rest of the people who fell chose to leave the formation stone.

It was not that they did not want to join the Geoscience Sect, but this formation seemed harmless. If they knew that their strength was insufficient and they had to force themselves to stay, it would still cause great damage to their bodies.

Soong Tianxuan didn't care about the other people's behavior at all. He only watched them for a while before he closed his eyes.

He was only immersed in that mysterious state of forgetfulness, adjusting his body and state of mind to a perfect balance with the formation stones beneath his feet.

Dong, dong, dong!

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of a drum brought Soong Tianxuan back to reality from that mysterious state.

He opened his eyes and saw that there were already hundreds of people fallen on the ground. There were only a few dozen people still persisting on.

Even so, among the several dozen people who were standing, there were only a few who were able to maintain a relaxed expression.

There were indeed a few good seedlings.

Soong Tianxuan sighed in his heart. He suddenly sensed something and raised his head to look at the sky.

The old man appeared again, at this time he was also looking at him with a face full of praise. Then, the old man retracted his gaze and shouted: "The examination is over, and those who are still on the formation stone are considered disciples of Geoscience Sect!"

As the voice of the old man faded, those who had only barely managed to persevere sighed in relief before hastily jumping to the side. They sat on the ground in extreme exhaustion. Obviously, the perseverance from before was due to their extraordinary mental fortitude, and their cultivation bases were still lacking.

Soong Tianxuan and the other relaxed people all walked out of the array stone. With a wave of the old man's hand, another powerful force was sent out. The array stone disappeared one by one and the entire ground of the training field became flat again, just with a lot of sweat.

After the large formation was withdrawn, the old man once again spoke out: "Congratulations to everyone on becoming an outer disciple of Geoscience Sect, I hope you all will not forget to diligently train, and try your best to enter the inner sect as soon as possible!"

Soong Tianxuan's heart moved when he heard this. So it turns out that after passing the assessment, he could only become an outer disciple with Geoscience Sect. He didn't know what he had to do to be able to enter the inner sect.

What he had his eyes on was not the cultivation techniques that the inner disciples could learn, but the corresponding resources allocation rights. After all, what he was most adept at was refining medicines and he needed to have enough resources to support it.

The old man flew away again, and not long after, another dozen luxuriously dressed middle-aged men appeared. None of them could fly, as it was obvious that they were still under the Air Defence Stage, but even so, their auras were astonishing, enough to crush all the outer sect disciples present.

Soong Tianxuan knew that these people were the outer sect elders.

Their position in the Geoscience Sect wasn't very high, so when facing these newly joined elites, they were especially excited. When they were fighting over the elites who stood at the back, there were even some conflicts.

However, to Soong Tianxuan's surprise, even though he was also the last one, not a single elder came to fight for him. He could even feel that those people were deliberately ignoring him.

Could it be that Soong Nian and his son were behind this?

When Soong Tianxuan was the only one left in the training field, two figures flashed across his mind and his eyebrows knitted together!

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew over. Soong Tianxuan instinctively dodged backwards, but his arm was still tightly grabbed by someone. He was just about to use his martial arts to block when he was surprised to realize that the person who came was the old man who presided over the exam.
