Yang Wei did not take action immediately, but stood motionless in front of the stone plate, concentrating on the gray stream flowing in the groove without even blinking.
Everyone also looked at Yang Wei with bated breath, without making any movement.
For a moment, the entire scene was extremely quiet, and even the sound of leaves falling to the ground could be heard clearly.
Time passes minute by minute.
The lit incense is also burning continuously, becoming shorter and shorter.
However, Yang Wei just stood there and didn't make any move for a while.
At a certain moment, a gleam of light suddenly burst out in his eyes, as if he had spotted something, and he took action like lightning.
He reached out with both hands at the same time, and picked out several small stone beads from the groove one after another. He did it in one go, obviously without too much hesitation.
Everyone looked at Yang Wei in surprise.
He doesn't take action for a while, but once he takes action, he is decisive and decisive.
If you don’t make a sound, it will be a blockbuster!
With such a master-like demeanor, could he really have the ability to choose him?
However.
When Yang Wei spread the five selected stone beads flat in his palm, the deacon shook his head in disappointment.
"No choice!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was stunned.
Immediately, a burst of ridicule broke out from the crowd.
"Looking at his neat movements just now, I thought he could really make the selection, but it turns out he was just pretending!"
"You're overthinking. It's just your first day here and you've been meditating for just an hour. How can you really be selected?"
"Who said just now that they think they have no problem? Haha, now you know how difficult the test is, right?"
Hearing the official disciple's ridicule, Yang Wei's face suddenly turned red to the color of pig liver, as if he had been slapped twice.
He originally thought that his mental power had been concentrated enough to distinguish the subtle differences.
But when the stone beads in the groove started rolling, he realized that he had thought wrong.
When he realized that he had made too many mistakes, he was already riding a tiger.
He had no choice but to pretend to the end. Pretending to be a master, he chose five stone beads at random.
I originally thought I might get one or two right so that I could save a little face.
But who knew, not even a single seed was selected.
This shame has really been brought to my hometown!
In the disdainful eyes of everyone, Yang Wei retreated in shame.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xie came to the stone plate again: "Let me try!"
The deacon still asked calmly: "You only have more than an hour to meditate. Are you sure you want to take the assessment now?"
Zhao Xie nodded without fear: "OK!"
There was another burst of sneers among the formal disciples.
This time, even Yang Wei warmly reminded Zhao Xie: "This test is indeed not as easy as imagined. I was too careless just now. I advise you not to rush the test, and it is better to meditate for a while."
Zhao Xie looked at Yang Wei with disdain on his face: "You yourself have embarrassed our Bishan City so much, do you think I can't do it too?"
"I'm not you. It's just an entrance exam, but it's hard for me, Zhao Xie!"
Zhao Xie behaved confidently, as if he never paid attention to the entrance examination.
The more things Yang Wei can't do, the more he has to do it, so as to show that he is better than Yang Wei.
Zhao Xie's good intentions were used as donkey lungs. Yang Wei was so angry that he stopped talking and just stood aside and waited to watch Zhao Xie's show.
The deacon said nothing more and immediately drove the turntable to make the stone beads roll again.
Zhao Xie, who was originally confident, immediately became confused when he saw the gray trickle flowing continuously, and he was at a loss what to do.
Only then did he realize that the difficulty of this test was far beyond his expectation.
When the stone beads roll and turn into gray trickles, you can't even see its outline clearly, let alone identify its size.
Zhao Xie froze on the spot for a long time, not even daring to make a move.
When the formal disciples who were watching saw this, they already had mocking smiles on their lips.
Many people are already whispering, betting that Zhao Xie will not be able to choose even one.
After hearing these words, Zhao Xie was already covered in cold sweat.
He even began to regret taking the assessment now.
But, it's too late.
The test you choose must be completed even on your knees.
Zhao Xie relied on his intuition and struggled to select the stone beads in the groove.
He was very cautious about the assessment. Every time he picked one, he would hesitate for a long time before taking action. Then he would pause for a long time before continuing to pick the next one.
When the five selections were completed, the stick of incense had burned to the end.
The stone beads in the stone plate just stopped rolling.
Zhao Xie took a deep breath, spread out his palms, and revealed the five stone beads in his palms.
"No choice." The deacon glanced at him and shook his head indifferently.
After hearing the results announced by the deacon, the official disciples began to ridicule even more unscrupulously.
"Hahaha, how about it? Let me just say that he can't choose even one, right?"
"Let me just say, I have seen this kind of arrogant people a lot. Every time they think they are sure, they end up failing every time!"
Even Yang Wei added insult to injury and hit Zhao Xie: "What? Don't you think you are better than me?"
"Didn't you say that it's just an entry-level test that won't trouble you? Why haven't you selected any of them now?"
"You..." Zhao Xie looked at Yang Wei with a face full of shame, then looked at the formal disciples who were still mocking him, and suddenly wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
A young man crossed his arms on his chest and said with a proud face: "Three consecutive prospective disciples who came for the assessment were all unselected!"
"Nowadays, the standard of prospective disciples is so low, but they are still mocking each other here? Oh... how sad!"
This young man wears a jade hairpin and his eyes always show an unconcealable arrogance. He is obviously born into a noble family.
And his realm has reached the peak level of a third-level warrior. Among these official disciples watching the excitement, he can be regarded as the top master.
After hearing what the hosta boy said, both Yang Wei and Zhao Xie walked away in dejection and were too embarrassed to continue talking.
The deacon was not surprised by this scene, and he calmly shouted: "Next one."
After a while, no one responded.
No one came forward to check.
More than ten young men who were meditating were all trying to shirk each other.
"How about you go first?"
"No, no, no, I haven't concentrated my energy yet, you go first!"
"I'm not in the best shape either, so you should go first!"
For a while, the scene reached a deadlock.
"Is there no one left to take the assessment?" the deacon asked calmly.
Still no one responded.
Still no one came forward to check.
The formal disciples all showed mocking smiles, shaking their heads and lamenting that the current prospective disciples were too bad.
When everyone is laughing and having fun.
The inconspicuous young man who had been standing in the corner moved.
He calmly walked to the stone plate and said to the deacon in a tone as calm as if he was going out to buy groceries, "I want to take an assessment."
The jeers stopped abruptly.
For a moment, everyone turned their heads in unison, and their eyes fell on this young man who suddenly appeared.
This young man wore a jet black cloak, with black hair flowing in the wind, and a pair of black pupils as bright as gems.
