“This is the Four Spirits Inquiry of the Heart Array!”
“It is not a killing or trapping array, but a third-level illusionary array. Of course, it will not harm you in any way.”
“However, once inside the Four Spirits Inquiry of the Heart Array, you will be subjected to various trials that test the resilience of your martial heart.”
“At the beginning, the trials will be simple, and most of you should be able to withstand them. But the longer you stay within this array, the more intense the trials will become.”
Bai Yi put away the dossier and smiled, “The assessment of your performance will be based on how long you can endure within the Four Spirits Inquiry of the Heart Array.”
“To endure for half a quarter of an hour is considered a lower rating.”
“To endure for a full quarter of an hour is a middle rating.”
“Two quarters of an hour is an upper rating.”
“And three quarters of an hour is the rating for a genius.”
He did not stop there but continued, “To endure for four quarters of an hour is the rating for a peerless talent.”
“If you can endure for a full hour, that is the rating for an exceptional genius. And to endure for two hours…”
At this point, Bai Yi paused for a moment and smiled, “The Four Spirits Inquiry of the Heart Array is designed so that a martial artist in the Physical Training Realm cannot possibly endure for two hours. Only those in the Meridian Condensation Realm can achieve that. Therefore… there is no rating for a ‘born sage.'”
“Everyone will enter the Four Spirits Inquiry of the Heart Array simultaneously, choose a spot to sit, and begin the mental trial. If you cannot endure, the array will automatically expel you without causing any harm!”
“The standard for passing the second test remains at the genius level to proceed to the next round of trials.”
With these words, Bai Yi’s gaze swept over the ninety-six candidates, lingering subtly on Ye Wushuang, Qin Hao, and a few others. Originally, he had not planned to introduce the higher ratings, but this trip to Flowing Moon City seemed unexpectedly exciting.
Elder Tang Chuyi was also feeling a sense of anticipation as he said, “Apart from Qin Hao, that Ye Wushuang and Wang Xueqi also seem quite promising to me. However, the first test assesses the solidity of one’s cultivation level, while the second test examines the strength of one’s will.”
“Many people focus solely on enhancing their power, neglecting the cultivation of their character. Their journey on the path of martial arts is destined to be short-lived.”
Mourou Ying smiled and said, “Elder Tang’s words ring true. To be honest, I am also quite surprised that nearly a hundred people passed the first test.”
As they spoke, the ninety-six candidates who had passed the first test had already entered the Four Spirits Inquiry of the Heart Array one after another.
Bai Yi smiled and waved his hand. The four academy disciples beside the statues immediately activated the array. The candidates sat cross-legged in silence.
The second test officially began.
At this moment, the onlookers around also waited quietly.
Ye Feifei was excited and said, “My brother’s will is as firm as a rock. It is definitely beyond the comparison of these people…”
Qing Shiyu also nodded and said, “This guy is indeed…”
Having spent some time with Ye Wushuang, Qing Shiyu sometimes felt that Ye Wushuang did not seem like a sixteen-year-old but rather like someone with the will of a sixty-year-old.
For Ye Wushuang, this second test was not a problem.
At this moment, inside the Four Spirits Inquiry of the Heart Array, the moment the array was activated, Ye Wushuang seemed to no longer be in the testing ground but in a vast, white, desolate world.
In front of him was a cliff, with boiling lava below, emitting white smoke.
Behind him was a wall, blocking his way.
It was a dead end. He could neither retreat nor move forward.
But just at this moment, the seemingly impenetrable and insurmountable wall behind him began to rumble…
