The trial ground is a magnificent palace, divided into three areas.
Under the leadership of Cheng Yufeng, Xiao Yi and his party walked into the first area.
This place is extremely spacious and bright, with ten thick pillars standing there.
They are dozens of feet tall, and their entire bodies emit golden light, as if they were cast from divine gold.
At this time, more than 3,000 freshmen, led by 108 elders from the outer dean, gathered in front of these pillars.
"Look, those pillars are talent pillars used to test martial arts talents. It is said that they can even test extraordinary martial arts talents. They are much more advanced than the talent pillars in our academy." Some students couldn't help but say.
.
Ordinary talent pillars can only test nine-star martial arts talent at best.
For example, this is the talent pillar of Tianshui Academy.
However, the ten talent pillars standing here are made of extremely precious materials, with mysterious formations engraved on them.
Therefore, they can even test their extraordinary martial arts talents.
"Everyone, be silent." At this moment, a majestic voice echoed in everyone's ears, causing the scene to become silent.
On a tall stone platform in front of him, stood a white-haired old man. He was short in stature, his face was covered with wrinkles, like orange peels, and he didn't know how many years he had lived.
However, his eyes were bright and bright, like two golden lamps, giving people a feeling of calmness and authority.
This old man is the second elder of the outer courtyard.
In addition to the two elders of the outer courtyard, there are dozens of powerful people above the stone platform. They are all sitting on rosewood chairs. Each one of them has an extremely distinguished status, and they are all heavyweights in the outer courtyard.
"The freshman trial is about to begin. Before that, let me talk about the content of the trial." The second elder of the outer courtyard swept his eyes around everyone and said calmly.
Everyone immediately held their breath and listened attentively.
"This trial is divided into three rounds. The first round is to test martial arts talent, the second round is to enter the Dragon Hunting Tower, and the third round is the arena competition. As long as each round of testing can meet the standards, you can become a mysterious person.
Grade 1 student." The words of the second elder from the outer courtyard were simple and direct, without saying much.
The rest of the nonsense.
"I see."
"If one of the three rounds of tests fails to meet the standards, you will be eliminated and will not be able to become a Xuan-level student."
"This time, we can only succeed and not fail." Many students secretly thought in their hearts.
"Okay, let's start the first round of testing. As long as your martial arts talent reaches the top level of nine stars, you will pass." After a moment, the second elder of the outer courtyard announced to everyone.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Soon, more than 3,000 freshmen, led by 108 elders from the outer dean, were divided into ten teams and waited in front of the ten talent pillars.
The talent pillar in front of Xiao Yi is the third talent pillar.
However, there are more than a hundred students in front of him, so it may take some time for him to take the test.
"Start." Following the second elder's order, ten students immediately walked towards the ten talent pillars.
They all stretched out their right hands and put them into the groove above the talent pillar.
Buzz buzz.
The next moment, bursts of harsh sounds came from above the talent pillar.
Everyone saw that the bottom of each talent pillar was blooming with dazzling golden light, and it was spreading upward little by little.
The golden light on some talent pillars only spread to a quarter of the way before dissipating.
There was also some golden light, which finally reached a third of the way and then stopped abruptly.
"Everyone, if the golden light on the talent column reaches one-third, it means that the martial arts talent has reached the standard. If it does not, it means being eliminated." The second elder of the outer courtyard said calmly.
"No, I actually failed."
"Why is this happening? I'm only a little bit short of reaching the standard." In an instant, several students said with unwilling faces.
"Hey, it worked."
"My martial arts talent has indeed reached the top nine-star level." Some students also had cheerful smiles on their lips.
In the first wave of tests, a total of three people's martial arts talents reached the standard, and the others were eliminated one after another.
Soon, the second wave of testing began.
This time, there are still very few people who meet the standard, only two.
It can also be seen from this point that it is extremely difficult for martial arts talent to reach the top level of nine stars.
"Look, it's sword mad Cheng Fei."
"Haha, he actually appeared on the stage so quickly. I wonder what level his martial arts talent can reach?" Suddenly, many students couldn't help but exclaimed, their eyes full of excitement.
I saw a young man in white standing in front of the second talent pillar. Although his appearance was extremely ordinary, he exuded an extremely fierce aura, like a peerless sword.
The eyes of many students were attracted to him.
This person is one of the dark horses among the yellow-level students, sword mad Cheng Fei.
Buzz.
Soon, a dazzling golden light bloomed from the bottom of the second talent pillar.
It was like a puddle of autumn water, spreading upwards, and soon reached a third of the way.
"Oh my gosh, it's more than a third."
"Does this mean that Cheng Fei's martial arts talent has reached an extraordinary level?" The next moment, many students screamed in surprise.
"good."
"This child's martial arts talent has reached an extraordinary level and is worthy of vigorous cultivation." Even the senior officials of the academy above the stone platform showed admiration on their faces.
After a while, the golden light on the second talent pillar reached about half of the way and then disappeared.
This shows that Cheng Fei's martial arts talent is considered average even among the low-level extraordinary ones.
"Xiao Yi, your martial arts talent should not be much weaker than that of Cheng Fei. If you can reach his level, you will definitely be taken seriously." Cheng Yufeng couldn't help but said to Xiao Yi, his eyes full of expectation.
Time flies, and an hour passes quickly.
A full thousand students have already completed the test.
To Xiao Yi's surprise, among the thousand people, except for Cheng Fei, no one had extraordinary low-grade martial arts talent.
On the other hand, there are more than two hundred nine-star top talents in total.
"It seems that people with extraordinary martial arts talents are very rare even in the Third Academy." Xiao Yi thought to himself.
"Look, it's the Black Overlord Pang Shan. It's finally his turn."
"His martial arts talent shouldn't be much weaker than Cheng Fei's." The crowd was once again in an uproar.
Everyone's eyes fell on a burly young man in front of Talent Pillar No. 8.
This young man is bald and looks extremely tough, giving people a sinister look.
The muscles all over his body were bulging, as strong as a ferocious beast, and his eyes were extremely aggressive.
"Extraordinary low-grade talent, although not as good as Cheng Fei, is still very good." After a while, Pang Shan's test results came out, which made many senior officials very satisfied.
Although his martial arts talent can only be regarded as inferior among the extraordinary low-grade ones, it is also very rare.
In addition, Pang Shan's real advantage is his physical body, so everyone feels that his potential is no weaker than Cheng Fei's.
"I wonder how Xiao Yi's martial arts talent compares with Pang Shan's?" a student asked curiously.
After all, Pang Shan and Xiao Yi are both the physically strongest among the new students.
Therefore, people will naturally compare the two of them. (To be continued...)
