After a long time, everyone's emotions calmed down. Even Senior Brother Lu, who was unconscious at the side, had red eyes.
"Haha, I'm so in love that I can't help it, I made everyone laugh."
Deacon Qin regained his composure and continued.
"Although I don't know what the talents of all the new students are, I have definitely received your feelings of admiring the Emperor of Heaven and the Suzaku Sect."
"As everyone knows, this year marks the 100th anniversary of the Emperor of Heaven's accession to the throne. In order to celebrate this grand event, our Suzaku Sect has specially lowered the standards for this assessment and recruited more disciples! Therefore, the minimum standards for recruiting disciples this time are set by
The original twenty-five points of spiritual energy affinity have been reduced to twenty points of spiritual energy affinity!!"
Wow!!!!
As soon as this statement came out, the freshmen immediately exploded.
"Twenty o'clock!! Over the past hundreds of years, the standards of the Suzaku Sect have only increased. This time I finally see hope!!"
"Yes, if it were 25 o'clock in the past, I would have no hope at all. At 20 o'clock, I will have a chance to give it a try!"
What does a five-point drop mean? The five-point difference in spiritual energy affinity alone is enough to give hundreds of people a chance to enter the sect!
I thought that the Vermillion Bird Sect's expansion of enrollment this year would lower the threshold slightly, but I didn't expect that it would be a big deal right away.
Of course, there are some people who shake their heads and give up after hearing the standards. These are people who have participated in the assessment in previous years and learned the specific numerical value of their talents. It is still too difficult to expect the Suzaku Sect's standards to drop below twenty.
The ones left behind are newcomers with untested talents, or old people who already know they have passed the line.
Yan Luohong and Mu Zhiyuan on the side did not look surprised. The lowering of the minimum threshold was meaningless to them. What they wanted to achieve was a higher status. That is, core disciples, or even close disciples!
"Hahaha, don't rush to be happy now. It's not too late to be happy after I finish what I said! This time, the admission standard for outer disciples has been lowered from the original twenty-five to twenty. Correspondingly... the higher-level disciples
Standards will also be lowered!”
Hearing this, a few people clenched their fists. For them, there is no doubt that they can pass the minimum threshold. They are pursuing a higher goal! And now the standard of this higher goal is about to be lowered!
"The recruitment standard for inner disciples has been reduced from the original thirty-five points of spiritual energy affinity to thirty points!"
"Great!!"
A new student couldn't help but shout out. His talent was outstanding, and now he had a chance to enter the inner sect. You know, the treatment of outer sect disciples and inner sect disciples is very different.
"Recruitment standards for core disciples..."
When Deacon Qin said this, only a few people's eyes lit up. The vast majority of people already breathed a long sigh of relief. Even if the recruitment standards for higher-level disciples were lowered, they would still be incomparable to themselves.
"Reduced from the original forty-five points of aura affinity to forty points!"
Lin Lang raised his eyebrows. If you put it this way, wouldn't the recruitment standards have dropped to those a thousand years ago? It's really interesting.
Lin Lang also noticed that Meng Fanjiang's breathing suddenly became heavier and he couldn't help but secretly guess in his heart.
Could it be that this person has the talent to attack the core disciples? He really hides it deeply.
"It's finally here..."
Yan Luohong's eyes were as bright as a flash, and the core disciples were still not his goal. His goal was the highest closed disciples!
"The recruitment criteria for closed disciples... Haha, the recruitment criteria for closed disciples remain unchanged. They are still fifty-five points of spiritual energy affinity!" Deacon Qin chuckled and announced the last item.
Yan Luohong's figure swayed and he almost stopped standing, feeling resentful in his heart.
I learned two years ago that the Suzaku Sect would recruit more disciples in two years. I rejected the Chaotian Sword Sect and the Luohua Valley just to wait for this day. In order to become a closed disciple of the Suzaku Sect.
Now you suddenly tell me that the recruitment standards will not change??
Yan Luohong's veins popped out. As soon as Deacon Qin finished speaking, Yan Luohong rushed out to question him regardless of Mu Zhiyuan's obstruction.
"Deacon Qin!! Why does the standard change only when it comes to closed disciples? I hope Deacon Qin can give an explanation!"
"Hehehe, our Suzaku Sect recruits people. The standards are naturally set by our Suzaku Sect! Moreover, the first elder and the second elder of our sect have already accepted Ruyi disciples. The only remaining disciples are the headmaster and the third elder.
The position of direct successor. The leader and the third elder have always been very ambitious, so what kind of people to recruit and what standards to use are decided by these two! I wonder if I can explain it this way... Master, are you satisfied?"
Deacon Qin looked Yan Luohong up and down, looked at his clothes and appearance, and roughly guessed his identity, and then patiently explained to him.
"this!!"
Yan Luohong clenched his fists. Deacon Qin's implication was: The rules are set by the elders. It's useless for you to talk to me! I want you to go find the elders!
"How about forget it, Brother Yan."
Mu Zhiyuan ran out and tugged on Yan Luohong's sleeve.
"Sister Zhiyuan! You don't understand! Only this year... you can only become a closed disciple! Otherwise, it's meaningless!"
Yan Luohong seemed to want to say something to Mu Zhiyuan, but he had some taboos. Then he gritted his teeth and shouted to Deacon Qin: "That's it, I voluntarily withdraw from this assessment!"
Yan Luohong didn't feel it was a pity. His talent was fifty-three points, and he would be a favorite in any sect. There was no need to compete for the Suzaku Sect's closed disciples.
Just thinking about that... still feels a bit pity
"Brother Yan! Have you thought about it carefully? It took a lot of effort to get here. Do you really want to give up?"
Mu Zhiyuan felt that it was not worth it for Yan Luohong, so why did she insist on clinging to that closed disciple?
"Who is this? Why are you so arrogant?"
"Yes, even the Suzaku Sect doesn't like it. Isn't it a bit too arrogant?"
"Is he very talented? I have never heard of this person!"
…
The freshmen scolded Yan Luohong one after another. Even Lu Pinglang, who was standing at the front, frowned after hearing Yan Luohong's words.
However, there were also people among the freshmen who knew Yan Luohong's identity, and they quickly covered the mouths of their companions who complained.
"Shh! Don't talk nonsense! I just heard it when I was waiting outside. This man's surname is Yan! And the lord of Crescent City is polite to him!!"
"Ah? The surname is Yan? Isn't this the surname of the royal family of the Wind and Fire Kingdom?"
"Who else can get so close to Miss Mu Zhiyuan and be so young? Who else can you think of!"
"You mean...the third prince??!!"
A young man suddenly screamed strangely and quickly covered his mouth.
Everyone who heard the strange scream quickly shut their mouths.
The young man quickly lowered his head, fearing that Yan Luohong would see him.
Mom! The person I was complaining about just now was actually the third prince of the Wind and Fire Kingdom?! The emperor’s favorite youngest son! If this makes him hold a grudge, then I won’t be able to bear it and just walk away.
Everyone felt happy in their hearts. The Suzaku Sect could offend him, but ordinary people like themselves with no identity or background could never afford to offend him! After all, he was the son of the Emperor of the Wind and Fire Kingdom!
Deacon Qin chuckled and nodded slightly.
"It's okay if you want to quit, Master. Among the remaining people, I won't force anyone who wants to quit. Oh, by the way, if you know your talent and don't reach the twenty points required by the outer disciples, you can also do it on your own.
Exit to avoid wasting time."
After hearing what Deacon Qin said, at least one-third of the freshmen chose to leave.
They don't want to leave, but their talent has not reached twenty, so there is no point in staying.
"Brother Yan..."
"Sister Zhiyuan, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I really want to stay with you in the Suzaku Sect. But... everyone has his own ambitions! I will accompany you until the end of the examination."
Seeing Yan Luohong speak so firmly, Mu Zhiyuan could only nod lightly.
Lin Lang's mood also sank. He came here just for the disciples who were closed this time. He didn't expect that the recruitment standards were still so high?
"Qing'er, if this happens, will I have no chance?"
"Not necessarily. I can only roughly estimate that the range of your spiritual energy affinity is over fifty. As for whether it is more than fifty, it still needs to be measured specifically."
Lin Lang felt relieved after hearing Qing'er's words, he still had a great chance!
"I wonder how confident Brother Lin is about this assessment?"
Meng Fanjiang patted Lin Lang's shoulder and asked, with a look of eagerness on his face.
Meng Fanjiang scratched his head in embarrassment after hearing the teasing, and deliberately changed the subject and said: "In that case, I'm relieved! I'm full of confidence after hearing the standards announced by Deacon Qin! When we both enter the sect, I'll protect you!"
"oh?"
Lin Lang suddenly became interested.
"So, Brother Meng is full of confidence? Can you tell me a little bit?"
"Then I'll only tell you! It's because your kid is sick that I took care of you!" Meng Fanjiang said mischievously, as if he was carrying a big treasure.
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense and talk now!"
Lin Lang got angry when he heard this. Meng Fanjiang, a stubborn man, had already concluded that he was sick.
"Hehe, I'm guaranteed to be an inner disciple, and I can hope to reach the core!" Meng Fanjiang whispered in Lin Lang's ear.
Meng Fanjiang was not a public person, but he was so happy this time that he couldn't help but want to share it with others and show it off.
This time, Lin Lang was surprised. He didn't expect Meng Fanjiang to be so hidden. According to what he said, his talent was at least thirty, and he might even be able to break through forty! This talent was already very powerful.
Lin Lang has been learning about the Suzaku Sect in the past few days. According to statistics, as of now, the number of outer disciples of the Suzaku Sect has reached 3,000, and the number of inner disciples is 500. However, the number of core disciples is only more than 30, and the number of closed disciples is
There are even fewer, only the elder and two close disciples of the second elder.
If Meng Fanjiang's talent is really close to that of the core disciples, even if the standard is lowered this year, he will be like a rare being.
Lin Lang immediately gave Meng Fanjiang a thumbs up: "Brother Meng, I will completely rely on you when I get to the sect!!"
