Chapter 1804: The Assessment Begins
me, but there was no response. He turned his head and was about to flee the room, but as soon as he turned around, he found Ye Bufan appearing before him like a ghost."Old man, where are you going"Ye...The Spirit Testing Monument flashed with light, indicating the end of the test. Then, a line of text appeared on the stone tablet.
"Seventeen years old, at the ninth level of Qi Refining, unqualified!"
After seeing the results, Guan Dechun shouted loudly: "Unqualified, next!"
Seeing this result, Li Chunyang immediately panicked and said, "Teacher, please, I'm just a little bit short, maybe tomorrow I'll break through to the Qi Refining stage, please give me a chance, I will definitely remember your great kindness..."
"Unqualified is unqualified, don't you hurry down!"
Guan Dechun's expression was cold, devoid of any emotion.
"Mentor, please, I beg you! I'm the only hope for my family. I'll agree to anything if you just let me pass..."
Li Chunyang was so anxious that he was almost crying.
Guan Dechun's expression turned cold: "Cut the crap, get out of here! Otherwise, I'll revoke your eligibility for next year!"
"This..."
Li Chunyang dared not say another word, could only leave here with a disappointed look on his face.
Then the second student went up to take the test, and the results soon appeared on the stone tablet.
"Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage, age 19, unqualified!"
Although this person's cultivation has reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, their age exceeding the standard still makes them ineligible.
Having learned his lesson from the previous incident, he didn't dare to say anything more and left in silence.
These young students, all hailing from various parts of Tianfeng Nation, arrived carrying the dreams of their entire families. The weight on their shoulders is unimaginable.
If one were to become a disciple of the Cangfeng Academy, it would be a matter of great pride and honor for their family.
But there's no way around it, that's just how reality is. If you don't have the backing of a powerful sect or family behind you, it's very difficult for young people to achieve anything these days, let alone reach the Qi Refining stage.
Then the third student took to the stage, and the result was still unsatisfactory.
Until the fourth contestant took the stage, the situation remained unchanged. The Spirit Sensing Monument displayed: "Age 18, Peak of Foundation Establishment Stage, Qualified!"
Looking at the results on the stele, the student's face was filled with excitement. This meant he could finally enter the next round of testing.
Jiang Fangzhou, however, shook her head slightly at him. She had been the same way before, passing the first level only to find the second was a real hell.
Ye Bufan said: "How come so many people, knowing their cultivation is insufficient, still come to test Isn't this asking for trouble" Jiang Fangzhou said: "This Spirit-Testing Stele is extremely precious. Ordinary people can't find a way to test their cultivation at all."
So many people aren't quite sure what level of cultivation they possess. Once they get close, they hold onto a glimmer of hope, thinking they might as well give it a try. What if they pass
"There's also a small group of people who are feeling lucky, thinking the spirit-testing stone might make a mistake and they'll get a big bargain. They figure it doesn't hurt to try anyway."
Test one by one, two people stand there quietly waiting.
Ye Bufan observed that the pass rate of this test was about 50%.
But even through testing, those people's cultivation levels were mostly at the Foundation Establishment stage. Occasionally, there were a few Golden Core stage cultivators, which was already rare.
It seems that although the Kunlun Continent is rich in spiritual energy, cultivation is still an extremely difficult task for ordinary people.
Before him stood a young man in fine clothes, about 20 years old, with an extremely proud expression.
Beside him stood a servant with a fawning expression, carrying various fruits and pastries. At a glance, one could tell they came from a distinguished family.
Seeing the students ahead of him, many failing the tests, the young man in fine clothes said with dissatisfaction: "These people are really trash. They know they can't do it, so why come here to take the test Isn't this wasting Young Master's time"
The servant fawned, "Master, you are a once-in-a-millennium martial arts prodigy. Compared to you, they are just trash!"
The young man in fine clothes frowned: "They're just a bunch of country bumpkins. What qualifications do they have to compare themselves to this Young Master"
"Well, it seems I was wrong." The servant plastered a smile on his face and slapped himself lightly across the cheek. "Just wait until you step in yourself. They'll know then what a true martial arts prodigy is!"
The young man in fine clothes raised his chin and said arrogantly, “That’s true. I'll let them open their eyes then.”
Two people stood in front of Ye Bufan. He couldn't help but glance at the young man in fine clothes. His aura was still powerful, having reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm.
However, the aura wasn't refined, it was superficial and hollow, obviously cultivated through pills amassed by a powerful family.
It seems that "rich second generation" exist everywhere, on Earth and even in the mythical Kunlun fairyland.
However, most people like this are all style and no substance. Only a tiny minority can effectively utilize their family's power to become true elites. This guy in front of us is clearly one of the former.
Soon, Guan Dechun called out from the roster: "Next, number 35, Dong Chao."
Here!
The elegantly dressed youth responded with a sound, and strode towards the spirit-testing stone tablet. He reached out and pressed his hand against the inscription.
After a moment, a line of small characters appeared on the stone tablet: “Age 20, Cultivation Base Golden Core Great Perfection, Pass!”
"My god, it's actually the Golden Core Great Perfection, it's really amazing!"
"I'm only at the foundation building stage, and I'm so far behind compared to others!"
"You don't know who that is, do you That's Dong Chao, the eldest son of the Dong family. Someone like us could never compare to him! He eats pills like candy…"
Seeing this result, the crowd erupted in an uproar. They all looked at Dong Chao standing before the stone tablet, casting envious and jealous glances his way.
Guan Dechun nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, he's a promising talent. With a year or two of cultivation, he could enter the Zhongyuan Institute!"
Overjoyed by her mentor's praise, Dong Chao triumphantly strutted back with her chin almost touching the sky.
"Young master, you are truly amazing! You are a true martial arts prodigy!"
The servant immediately came up to him flatteringly, first offering the towel in his hand, and then presenting fruits and refreshments.
Dong Chao said proudly: "Isn't that a given I dare say that no one today could surpass Young Master me in the test!"
Of course, the first place is yours, Master. The others don't even dare to think about it!
The students beside them, although extremely dissatisfied with the conversation between the master and servant, were helpless. They could only bear it. After all, the young master was a powerful figure from a wealthy family; he was not someone ordinary people could provoke.
Ye Bufan was full of disdain, like this rich young master didn't even have the qualifications to be looked at by him.
Meanwhile, Jiang Fangzhou beside him was filled with anxiety, completely ignoring Dong Chao.
"Brother Ye, it's my turn next. Do you think I can do it"
Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "You're already at the Jindan stage, what are you afraid of Besides, this is just a test of spiritual power, it poses no problem for you at all."
"Yeah, you're right. The first level is fine, any problems will be in the second!"
Ye Bufan patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, you can definitely do it!"
At this time, Guan Dechun continued to shout: "Next, Jiang Fangzhou, number 36, take the stage!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!s also reasonable. Moreover, judging from past records, the Tianfeng Empire wasn't very impressive.Most importantly, all of the previous Tiānfēng Empire branch divisions had already been destroyed. Ev...
