Qin Hao, who had been the center of attention, sat cross-legged on the ground, motionless, seemingly just meditating in tranquility. Qing Chentian from Greenwood City, Wu Feiyang from Martial Peace City, Shi Yan from Mountain Shade City, and Yue Tianzong from Yuechi City were all calm as well. Wang Xueqi from the Wang family, Yun Qingyue from the Yun family, Wei Zixuan from the Wei family, and Xiao Yuan also appeared composed.
After the first round of tests, many people had begun to pay attention to Ye Wushuang. At this moment, Ye Wushuang looked relaxed, and he seemed even more… comfortable than the others.
Time ticked by slowly. After a quarter of an hour, there were still more than seventy people left in the arena. After half an hour, the number had dwindled to just over fifty. And when three quarters of an hour had passed, only twenty-eight remained.
To be rated as a genius and pass the second round, one had to endure for at least three quarters of an hour. Before the time reached four quarters of an hour, more candidates were expelled one by one, and only nine people were left inside the Four Spirits Heart-Questioning Array!
The disciples in charge of the assessment began to announce the results.
“Qi He, lasted three quarters of an hour, rated as a genius, passed the second round.”
“Lu Yun, lasted three quarters of an hour, rated as a genius…”
At this point, it was certain that twenty-eight people had passed the second round. However, the final nine people were still in the array, and no one knew how long they could hold on or what rating they would achieve.
But just as the time was about to reach four quarters of an hour, Yue Tianzong from Yuechi City suddenly turned pale, and he was expelled from the Heart-Questioning Array.
“Yue Tianzong, lasted three quarters of an hour, rated as a genius.”
Upon hearing the announcement, many people felt sorry for Yue Tianzong. If he had held on just a little longer, his rating would have been that of a peerless genius.
On the main platform, Murong Ying chuckled and said, “These young talents, to have lasted this long, is truly remarkable. It seems that because of Qin Hao, we’ve unexpectedly discovered a few promising candidates this time.”
Tang Chuyi, however, remarked indifferently, “The third round is the most difficult. Out of these twenty-eight, probably only a few will pass.”
“Hmm…”
At this moment, four quarters of an hour had passed. Shortly after, Shi Yan, Wu Feiyang, Qing Chentian, and Xiao Yuan were also expelled from the Four Spirits Heart-Questioning Array one by one.
“Shi Yan!”
“Wu Feiyang!”
“Qing Chentian!”
“Xiao Yuan!”
The disciple in charge of recording announced, “Rated as peerless geniuses.”
At this moment, Shi Yan and the others looked very excited. However, when they looked into the Four Spirits Heart-Questioning Array and saw that Ye Wushuang, Qin Hao, Yun Qingyue, and Wang Xueqi were still holding on, they exchanged glances and couldn’t help but shake their heads.
As for Xiao Yuan, he had no particular expression on his face. He went to one side and waited quietly. He didn’t have high expectations for the rating; as long as he could pass the assessment and enter the Azure Cloud Academy, that was enough for him.
Four quarters of an hour had already passed, and time was moving toward a full hour. If one could last for a full hour, that would be the rating of an extraordinary genius.
In the Azure Cloud Academy’s assessment, every round had a rating system. Clearly, even if one passed the assessment, this rating would play a significant role once inside the academy. Who wouldn’t want to achieve a higher and better rating?
As time continued to pass and approached a full hour, Wang Xueqi was expelled from the array. At this moment, Wang Xueqi looked around and was taken aback when she saw Ye Wushuang, Qin Hao, and Yun Qingyue still inside the array.
“Wang Xueqi, lasted four quarters of an hour, rated as a peerless genius.”
Upon hearing this, many people understood that Wang Xueqi’s rating as a peerless genius was definitely more significant than that of Qing Chentian, Wu Feiyang, Shi Yan, and Xiao Yuan.
As time went on, a full hour arrived in the blink of an eye.
Ye Wushuang!
Qin Hao!
Yun Qingyue!
These three were still holding on.
However, just a short while after the hour had passed, one of the three figures seemed to be on the verge of giving up, about to be expelled from the array.
