Wang Xueqi, Ye Wushuang, and Xiao Yuan all began to line up at this moment. Ye Wushuang had previously thought that Xiao Yuan must be nineteen years old, but it turned out that the guy was only seventeen, which truly surprised Ye Wushuang. The burly Xiao Yuan did not look like a seventeen-year-old at all.
At this moment, over twelve hundred people formed ten lines and began the strength test.
“The first one, Liu He!”
As the Qingyun Academy disciple began to call out names, a young man stepped forward. Looking at the strength-measuring drum in front of him, which was two meters tall and about one meter in diameter, the young man took a breath, then took a step back. Suddenly, he clenched his palm into a fist and struck the center of the drum with all his might.
Thud…
A muffled sound rang out.
The first beat.
The second beat.
The third beat…
Three drumbeats sounded, and then there was no more movement.
The assessment disciple immediately announced, “Liu He, three beats, average, failed.”
Hearing this, the young man named Liu He’s expression dimmed, and he clenched his fists tightly. Suddenly, he looked up and said, “Give me another chance!”
However, the disciple in charge of recording the assessment results looked at Liu He and said indifferently, “Each person only has one chance!”
Liu He pleaded, “I just want to try one more time.”
“If you persist in arguing, you will be deprived of the qualification to participate in the Qingyun Academy assessment for the next two years!”
Hearing this, Liu He’s face changed, but he eventually left with a dejected expression. The Qingyun Academy was known for its strict admission standards and would never change its rules for any individual.
“Next, Li Xiang!”
At this point, the assessment gradually began. In a short while, more than fifty people had been tested, but none had reached the genius level. The best result was only upper level. This undoubtedly put immense pressure on the young participants from the various cities who were still waiting for their turn.
Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud…
At this moment, in front of the second strength-measuring drum, suddenly nine consecutive drumbeats rang out, echoing loudly.
“Qing Chengtian, nine beats, genius, passed the first round.”
As the voice rang out, everyone looked at the person who had passed the assessment with envy. He appeared to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a green robe with a green sash and adorned with jade, making him stand out from the crowd.
“Hahaha, very good, very good…”
At this moment, in a pavilion on a platform outside the martial arena, a middle-aged man with a long beard stood up, clapping and laughing, “My son is truly remarkable.”
Wang Xueqi looked over and said, “Qing Chengtian is the son of Qing Zhonghao, the city lord of Qingmu City. He is now eighteen years old and at the ninth level of the Body Refining Realm. In Qingmu City, no one can compete with him!”
“Besides him, there are also the sons of the city lords of Wuping City, Wuyang City, and Yuechi City—Wu Feiyang, Shi Yan, and Yue Tianzong, respectively. All of them have strengths at the eighth or ninth levels.”
“Before Qin Hao awakened his bloodline power, he was on par with these individuals, but after awakening, Qin Hao became significantly stronger than them.”
Wang Xueqi, being the daughter of the city lord, clearly knew a lot of things.
The strength measurement continued.
In a short while, another nine beats erupted.
It was Wu Feiyang from Wuping City, as Wang Xueqi had mentioned earlier, who also struck out nine beats.
In the blink of an eye, half of the tests were completed, with six hundred people having been assessed. However, fewer than sixty people had passed. This was just the first round of the assessment, yet the elimination rate was already ten to one.
This was the Qingyun Academy!
It was never easy to enter the Qingyun Academy!
“Next, Yun Qingyue.”
At this moment, in front of a strength-measuring drum, a voice rang out. Yun Qingyue, who was like a phoenix among people, walked out gracefully. Her seemingly delicate figure now exuded a bit more sharpness.
Qin Hao, standing not far behind her, said with a smile, “Qingyue, go for it.”
“Okay.”
Yun Qingyue smiled sweetly, nodded, and her gaze searched through the crowd, eventually locking onto Ye Wushuang in the line…
