“This is the Four Spirits Heart-Questioning Array!”
“It is not a killing array or a trapping array, but a third-tier illusionary array. Of course, it will not cause any harm to you all.”
“However, once inside the Four Spirits Heart-Questioning Array, you will undergo various trials that test the resolve of your martial spirit.”
“At the beginning, the trials will be quite simple, and I believe most of you will be able to withstand them. But the longer you stay within this array, the more intense the trials will become.”
Bai Yi put away his scroll and said with a smile, “The assessment of your performance will be based on how long you can endure within the Four Spirits Heart-Questioning Array.”
“Half a quarter of an hour is considered a lower rating.”
“A full quarter of an hour is a middle rating.”
“Half an hour is an upper rating.”
“Three quarters of an hour is the genius rating.”
He continued, “If you can last for four quarters of an hour, that is the peerless genius rating.”
“If you can endure for a full hour, that is the extraordinary genius rating. And if you can last for two hours…”
He paused here and chuckled, “No cultivator at the Physical Training stage can possibly last for two hours in this array. Only those at the Meridian Condensation stage can achieve that. So… there is no rating for a ‘born sage.'”
“Everyone will enter the Four Spirits Heart-Questioning Array at the same time, find 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 round of tests remains at the genius level to proceed to the next round.”
After speaking, Bai Yi’s gaze swept over the ninety-six candidates, lingering subtly on Ye Wushuang, Qin Hao, and a few others. He had not originally planned to mention the higher ratings, but this trip to Flowing Moon City seemed unexpectedly exciting.
Elder Tang Chuyi also expressed some anticipation, “Apart from Qin Hao, that Ye Wushuang and Wang Xueqi, I find them quite impressive as well. However, the first round tests the solidity of one’s cultivation level, while the second round tests the strength of one’s willpower.”
“Many people focus solely on enhancing their power, completely neglecting the cultivation of their character. Their path in martial arts is inevitably short-lived.”
Murong Ying smiled and said, “Elder Tang is right. To be honest, I was quite surprised that nearly a hundred people passed the first round.”
As they spoke, the ninety-six candidates who had passed the first round had already entered the Four Spirits Heart-Questioning 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 round of assessments officially began.
At this moment, the onlookers around also waited quietly.
Ye Feifei was excited and said, “My brother’s will is so strong; it’s definitely not comparable to these people…”
Qing Shiyu also nodded and said, “This guy is indeed…”
After spending some time with Ye Wushuang, Qing Shiyu sometimes felt that Ye Wushuang didn’t seem like a sixteen-year-old but rather had the mind of a sixty-year-old.
For Ye Wushuang, the second round was not a problem.
At this moment, inside the Four Spirits Heart-Questioning Array, the moment the array was activated, Ye Wushuang seemed to no longer be in the testing ground but in a vast, white world.
In front of him was a cliff, with rolling lava below, emitting white smoke. Behind him was a wall blocking the 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 and move…
