The morning sun rises into the sky, shining golden sunlight, covering the top of Fengshen Mountain.
With everyone's eager anticipation, the Great Protector and the six divine envoys finally arrived at the square.
The Great Protector walked to the square and stood there. He first asked the six divine envoys to count the number of people to see if everyone was present and who was not present.
After just ten breaths, the six divine envoys counted all the people.
After confirming that all fifty-one geniuses were present, the Great Protector said solemnly: "Everyone, today is the day for the examination of the divine disciples. Its importance is self-evident, and I will not elaborate further.
It has been half a year since everyone came to Fengshen Mountain.
In the past six months, everyone has practiced diligently and hard. Today's assessment is to test everyone's cultivation results!
The assessment method is very simple - actual combat in the arena. This is the best way to test your strength.
The rules of this assessment are as usual: no battle pet spirit beasts are allowed, no external force is allowed, and no one is allowed to die.
The opponents are determined by drawing lots, and they compete against each other. The winner is promoted and the loser is eliminated.
In the end, the top ten disciples will become the glorious disciples!
The top five disciples will soon represent Fengshen Mountain to participate in the exchange conference of the three major divine kingdoms.
The losers will be sent to the Glacier Mine..."
The majestic voice of the Great Protector rang out over the square, shaking everyone's hearts and inspiring everyone's fighting spirit.
Many people had bright eyes, exuding strong fighting spirit and showing firm and unyielding expressions.
The Great Protector looked around and was quite satisfied with everyone's reaction, and continued: "Of course, the Lord of Gods does not necessarily select his disciples based only on their strength.
In addition to competitions in the arena, anyone who has special talents, such as being proficient in formations, alchemy, talismans, etc., can also accept my assessment.
As long as one of the talents can reach the level of a tribulation level expert, one can also become a divine disciple."
Hearing the words of the Great Protector, hope ignited in the eyes of many geniuses.
But those newly ignited flames of hope were soon extinguished.
After all, the young geniuses present only have the strength of the Yuanshen realm.
Even if someone is proficient in Dan Dao, Formation Dao and Talisman Dao, it is impossible to reach the calamity level.
Then, the Great Protector waved his palms and cast spells to set up a large formation.
The colorful light mask enveloped the entire square.
Within the mask, a radius of two thousand feet is the arena for this assessment.
Everyone was outside the mask and stood on the edge of the square watching the battle.
"The first round of assessment will be participated by fifty disciples. As a son of the Oracle, Ji Tianxing does not need to participate in the first round."
The Great Protector announced the start of the assessment with a majestic voice, then struck out fifty jade slips and suspended them in the sky.
The fifty jade slips flew at high speed, crossing each other for a long time before gradually stopping flying and dividing into twenty-five pairs.
Regarding the Great Protector's decision, many geniuses secretly complained and were very jealous of Ji Tianxing, but they were helpless.
The five geniuses of the Izumo Empire even frowned, their expressions a bit ugly.
The Great Protector stretched out his hand and took out the first pair of jade slips and read loudly: "The first round of assessment begins, the first round, Tao Yunjian versus Gong Tiangao..."
As his words fell, the two young geniuses whose names were called walked out of the crowd with solemn expressions and stepped into the colorful light barrier.
These two young geniuses both have the strength of the fifth level of the Yuanshen Realm, and exude a strong and fierce aura.
The two of them didn't have any unnecessary words, even the greetings and salutes were omitted.
When the Great Protector announced that the fight was about to begin, the two of them took out their magic weapons and launched a charge regardless of their own safety.
The fierce fighting lasted for a quarter of an hour before gradually stopping.
One of them had his arms and legs cut off, his body was severely injured, and his combat effectiveness was severely reduced. He had no choice but to admit defeat.
Although the other person won, it was a tragic victory full of scars.
After the battle, the loser was helped down to heal his injuries.
The winner sits on the edge of the square, takes elixirs to heal his injuries, and prepares for the next round of assessment.
Next, the Great Protector read out one pair after another of names.
Pairs after pairs of young geniuses appeared on the stage, using all their strength to perform secret magic skills, fighting with their opponents inextricably.
The deafening sound filled the sky above the square and lasted for a long time.
The dazzling magic brilliance also illuminated half of the sky, covering up the brilliance of the sun.
All kinds of terrifying and powerful secret techniques made the earth tremble, crack open countless ravines, and turn it into ruins.
Fortunately, the defensive array deployed by the Great Protector was strong enough to block all the aftermath of the battle.
Everyone was fighting outside the mask, not affected at all.
Before I knew it, four hours had passed.
It was late afternoon and the sun was already setting in the west.
The first round of assessment is finally over.
Twenty-five scarred and miserable-looking young geniuses were eliminated and left with dejected expressions.
The twenty-five winning geniuses all suffered minor or serious injuries and were busy practicing their exercises, regulating their breathing, and healing their injuries.
Their expressions were still solemn, and they did not dare to relax at all.
As we all know, the first round of assessment is just the appetizer.
The next few rounds of assessments will be the most intense competition.
Qin Cangqiong, Song Zhanyu, Jiang Ningxue and others, as the top five geniuses, easily defeated their opponents without being injured themselves.
They all secretly observed Ji Tianxing and regarded him as their strongest enemy.
On the Izumo Empire side, only four people advanced, namely Yin Wuque, Lan Yiqing, Kuanglong and a young genius.
The Great Protector allowed everyone to rest for an hour.
At dusk, the second round of assessment finally began.
The twenty-five advancers plus Ji Tianxing, a total of twenty-six people, need to draw lots again to decide their opponents.
The Great Protector waved his hand and struck out twenty-six jade slips, and the result was drawn out a moment later.
He picked up the jade slips and read in sequence: "The second round of assessment begins. In the first round, Jiang Ningxue will fight against Tian Yukai.
In the second game, Huo Qingyu versus Ji Tianxing.
The third game, the battle between Gan Feiyang..."
Ji Tianxing listened to the results read out by the Great Protector, his expression was calm as usual, without any fluctuation.
However, the eyes of Lan Yiqing and Kuanglong suddenly lit up, with a look of surprise flashing through their eyes.
The young genius next to Kuang Long froze on the spot as if he had been struck by thunder, and his expression became quite strange.
Obviously, he is Huo Qingyu, who is about to face Ji Tianxing!
Kuanglong stared at him with stern eyes and warned in a solemn tone: "Huo Qingyu, the time has come to sacrifice your life for the empire!
Remember, you must bite out the elixir hidden in your mouth before starting a battle!
As long as you can kill Ji Tianxing, even death is worth it, and you will be the greatest contributor to the Izumo Empire!
All of us will remember your contribution and sacrifice, and you will definitely go down in history!"
Huo Qingyu frowned, his eyes kept changing, and his expression was complicated, but he remained silent.
