Chapter 859 - Seven Spirit Academiesʼ Disciple Examination (2)

”See, I told you that the examination will be quite similar to the one you took for the Dragon Essence Temple.” Wang Ming said to Yuan during their fifteen minute break.

”I guess so.” He nodded.

”I think we can expect the same examinations for most sects in Cultivation Online. After all, oneʼs talent and prowess are the most important to cultivators, so itʼs only natural for them to evaluate us in those aspects.” Shi Lang said.

”Anyways, good luck, guys.” Yuan said to them sometime later.

Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

”The Seven Spirit Academiesʼ Disciple Examination will officially begin now!” Elder Lang stood up and waved his sleeves.

The very next moment, multiple experts appeared and activated their treasures, creating a portal at the front of the square.

”This will lead you to the first examination, where you will be evaluated! There are 20 teleportations, each taking you to a separate area to make things faster. Go!”

The participants there immediately began walking into the portals, disappearing from the square.

Meanwhile, 20 large projections appeared above the square, each displaying a separate area for the first examination.

The square quickly became empty, and within mere minutes, only Yuan, Xiao Hua, Meixiu, and Chu Liuxiang remained.

When Elder Lang saw this, he said, ”What are you guys doing? If you donʼt hurry up, the portals will close, and you will automatically fail the examination.”

”Oh, sorry, weʼre not here to participate. Weʼre here to cheer on our friends.” Yuan said.

”If you want to spectate, youʼre in the wrong place. Thereʼs another area for spectators.” Elder Lang responded.

”Is that so? If you donʼt mind, can you tell me where this place is?” Yuan asked.

Elder Lang pointed towards the north and said, ”Itʼs quite far from here, so even if you run there now, you wonʼt make it before the examination ends.”

”Itʼs fine. Thank you for telling us.” Yuan said.

He then looked at Meixiu and the others, ”Letʼs go, shall we? Iʼll carry you with my spiritual energy.”

”Okay.”

They nodded.

The seven elders then watched with gawking expressions as Yuan lifted Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang into the air before flying away with them.

Once they were no longer in view, Elder Lang mumbled in a dazed voice, ”That young man was a Spirit Grandmaster? How come I couldnʼt sense his cultivation base?”

Since these elders were all below the third level Spirit Lord, they were unable to sense Yuanʼs cultivation base even though he wasnʼt deliberately hiding it.

While Yuan and his group made their way to the spectatorsʼ area, Wang Ming and the others waited for their turn inside this massive room that had multiple objects placed around the room.

Of course, these objects were used to evaluate the participantsʼ talents.

After waiting for two hours, it was finally Wang Mingʼs turn.

”Place your hand on this crystal ball and pour as much spiritual energy as you can into it.” The examiner said to him.

Wang Ming nodded and placed his hands on the empty crystal ball.

ʼHm? Thereʼs something resisting my spiritual energy. Is this part of the exam?ʼ Wang Ming wondered to himself as he poured his spiritual energy into the crystal ball, quickly filling it with glittering smoke that resembled fog.

Although there was something resisting him, it only held him back slightly, and the more the crystal ball filled up with fog, the stronger the resistance became until he could no longer continue.

”A-Amazing…” The examiner mumbled in a dazed voice, and his eyes were glued to the crystal ball.

After snapping out of his daze a few moments later, the examiner said, ”Y-You can stop now.”

”How did I do?” Wang Ming asked.

”You passed. Hereʼs your token. Make sure you donʼt lose it.” The examiner handed him a red token.

”Hmm? This token is a little different than what the others before me got. Why is that?” Wang Ming noticed this and decided to ask the examiner.

”Because there are three different tokens that can be handed out depending on the participantsʼ result. Those that barely passed will receive a white token, and those that passed with average results will receive a green token. As for the red token, those are only given to participants with excellent results such as yourself. In other words, they are given to geniuses and those with the highest potential.” The examiner explained.

”I see… Thanks, I guess.”

”Please go through that portal at the end of the room. Youʼll be taken directly to the next examination. Once there, show the examiner your token.”

”I understand.” Wang Ming nodded before leaving the place through the portal.

ʼWhat a talented young lad. Heʼll definitely become a powerful cultivator in the future if nurtured properly.ʼ The examiner thought to himself as the next participant stepped in front of the crystal ball.

”Place your hand on this crystal ball and pour as much spiritual energy as you can into it.” The examiner repeated his sentence to Wang Bingbing, who was right behind Wang Ming.

She nodded and placed her hand onto the crystal ball, pouring her spiritual energy into it.

ʼWow! Another genius! Sheʼs almost on par with the last participant! Two geniuses back to back? What are the chances!ʼ The examiner cried inwardly.

”Here you go. You passed.” The examiner handed Wang Bingbing a red token as well.

”Whatʼs this? Why is it red?” Wang Bingbing asked out of curiosity.

The examiner smiled and explained everything to her.

”I see… Thanks.” Wang Bingbing said before making her way to the next examination.

”Next!”

Once Wang Bingbing left, Shi Lang took her place.

”Place your hand on this crystal ball and pour as much spiritual energy as you can into it.” The examiner repeated.

Shi Lang nodded and placed his hand onto the crystal ball.

When the examiner saw the results, he didnʼt dare to believe his eyes.

ʼAnother genius?! What the fuck?! Where are all these geniuses coming from?!ʼ He exclaimed inwardly.
