Seeing Mu Qingqing so confident, the seven Heavenly Saints began to harbor so doubts.
Could it be that this ti, their disciple from the Spirit Sea Realm, Mu, had really chosen an impressive student?
During this period, they had been selecting talents outside and had heard about the two grand events organized by Mu Qingqing, but they had no ti to pay attention to the actual process and outco of those events, nor did they know the true strength of Ye Chen and his four companions.
Thus, seeing Mu Qingqing so confident and directly requesting the start of the new disciples' assessnt, they began to feel uncertain.
However, uncertain as they might have been, when it ca to comparing whose newly selected disciples were more formidable, they were not afraid.
Recently, they had traversed through various inheritances and secretive places that often produced prodigies; having rushed back to the Heavenly Sacred Palace, every Heavenly Saint had brought back several geniuses they valued highly.
In their eyes, even at their worst, they wouldn't be outdone by the new disciples selected by Mu Qingqing from the Spirit Sea Realm. After all, they were Heavenly Saints—the dangerous and secretive places they walked through were far more nurous than those of Mu Qingqing, aning they had a much higher probability of selecting prodigies!
"Good, since Mu has also returned, let's start the assessnt. I also want to see the real strength of the new disciples chosen by various Envoys," an Envoy said with a smile.
"Let's begin!" The other Envoys nodded in agreent.
The words of the Envoys were, of course, closely monitored by all the new disciples. Upon hearing that they had all agreed to start the new disciples' assessnt, everyone who had been sitting on the ground stood up and flocked behind the several Envoys.
Ye Chen noticed that, including the five of them selected by Mu Qingqing, along with the other seven Great Envoys, the total number of newly selected disciples was fifty-eight.
Clearly, the seven Great Heavenly Saint Envoys had chosen more new disciples.
As Ye Chen was sizing up the others, the new disciples were also eyeing each other. At this mont, a leading Heavenly Saint spoke directly to the crowd: "All you new disciples who have joined the Heavenly Sacred Palace, the Envoys who brought you here must have told you about the new disciples' assessnt, right?"
The new disciples nodded one after another.
This Heavenly Saint continued, "Since you all know this rule, let explain the specifics of the assessnt to you."
"This new disciples' assessnt consists of two parts."
"The first part involves battling a 'Bloodstripe War Beast'; the second, conquering the 'Holy Temple Tower'."
"You were chosen to join the Heavenly Sacred Palace because you are the geniuses of your respective regions, and here, all cultivating disciples are geniuses. Since we are all prodigies, there must naturally be different levels of talent among us."
"This first part, battling the 'Bloodstripe War Beast,' is about selecting superior geniuses among you."
"If your strength is not enough to defeat the 'Bloodstripe War Beast' and you can't pass the first part, then you will be assigned to cultivate in the Third Holy Temple, Fourth Holy Temple, or Fifth Holy Temple based on your own realm."
"However, if you can pass the first part, then you may enter the 'Holy Temple Tower' to earn the qualifications for the 'Second Holy Temple' and 'First Holy Temple' disciples."
"Follow us now to the 'War Beast Hall' and challenge the first part!" the Heavenly Saint said, nodding to the other Envoys and leading the way.
Mu Qingqing turned back to wink at Ye Chen and Jiang Yao and joined the other Envoys in leading the way.
"Bloodstripe War Beast?"
Hearing about the first part, battling a Bloodstripe War Beast, which was crucial for charging into the powerful Second Holy Temple and First Holy Temple, all the new disciples grew solemn.
These new disciples were exceedingly proud and, of course, didn't wish to be assigned directly to the lower-ranked Third Holy Temple, Fourth Holy Temple, or Fifth Holy Temple.
Naturally, they aid to strike at the legendary Second Holy Temple, or even the First Holy Temple, of the Heavenly Sacred Palace.
However, they all beca curious about the Bloodstripe War Beast.
None of them had ever heard what a Bloodstripe War Beast was.
Ye Chen was sowhat puzzled about what the Bloodstripe War Beast was and how to battle it.
However, he didn't think too much about it; after all, he would find out soon enough, so there was no need to worry excessively.
Following behind the Eight Great Envoys, Ye Chen, along with Jiang Yao, Liu Qingi, Xiao Chen, and Luo Lie, followed the crowd towards the "War Beast Hall."
Leaving the main hall of the "Hidden Dragon Hall" and passing through several corridors, the group arrived in a side hall.
Although it was a side hall, the space was vast, large enough to accommodate ten thousand people. More notably, in one corner of this side hall, there was a dark and gloomy secret tunnel from which occasional roars that shocked the soul were heard.
Clearly, sothing was hidden within this tunnel.
Outside this tunnel, an area of several hundred yards in diater was fenced off.
"This is the 'War Beast Hall'?"
"Could it be that the 'Bloodstripe War Beast' is in that dark and gloomy tunnel?" all the new disciples speculated as they looked at the tunnel in the corner of the side hall.
The Eight Great Envoys, having led everyone into the side hall, then stopped walking.
"This place is the 'War Beast Hall,'" the sa Heavenly Saint who had spoken earlier said to the crowd.
"Before we tackle the first part, let tell you about the origins of this 'Bloodstripe War Beast.'"
```
"This 'Bloodstripe War Beast' is not from our Savage Continent, but a bizarre creature caught from a Void Abyss between our continent and thirty-two others!"
Boom!
The words of the Heavenly Saint alard all the new disciples, including Ye Chen.
They had never imagined they would be fighting creatures not from the Savage Continent, but from the mysterious abyss between continents.
Between continents!
None of them had ever left the Savage Continent, stepping into other continents or the interspatial realms between them.
It was precisely because the Heavenly Sacred Palace possessed an ancient teleportation formation with the other thirty-two continents that they often had the opportunity to encounter other continents, leading them to choose to join the Heavenly Sacred Palace.
They thought they would only encounter creatures from other continents later on, but to their surprise, this new disciple assessnt gave them the direct chance to engage with species from beyond the Savage Continent!
Bloodstripe War Beast.
At this point, all the new disciples grew curious about what this exotic species from beyond the Savage Continent looked like.
"The Bloodstripe War Beasts reside in the Void Abyss between the Heavenly Vast Continent and the Heavens Continent."
"These War Beasts have combat blood patterns on their bodies, possess imnse strength, are bloody and brutal, and do not fear pain. In battle, they can even continuously escalate their power."
"For the first trial of your assessnt, if disciples in the True Qi Realm and the Spirit Sea Realm want to pass, they must defeat ten Bloodstripe War Beasts that surpass their realm by a large margin."
"Disciples in the Rotating Pill Realm must also fight ten Bloodstripe War Beasts of the Supre Rotating Pill level, and those in the later stages of Rotating Pill Realm who have reached the unbeatable level must defeat ten unbeatable-level Bloodstripe War Beasts at the sa ti!"
"You must take note, you have to decisively defeat these Bloodstripe War Beasts. Otherwise, if you take too long and do not defeat them, the beasts will escalate their power, and the difficulty of the assessnt will greatly increase!"
The leading Heavenly Saint explained the rules of the assessnt to everyone.
Hearing these rules, the expressions of all the new disciples beca grave.
Among these new disciples were those ranging from the True Qi Realm to the Rotating Pill Realm.
True Qi Realm and Spirit Sea Realm disciples had to fight Bloodstripe War Beasts that were a major realm above themselves, which ant they had to have the ability to fight across a major level of power.
In other words, an early-stage disciple of the Spirit Sea Realm must be able to fight against an early-stage Rotating Pill Realm!
And not only fight against ten early-stage Rotating Pill Realm Bloodstripe War Beasts but also defeat them before they could enhance their powers.
Difficult.
The requirent was incredibly tough!
Anyone eting this requirent could indeed be called a true genius!
The assessnt for the True Qi Realm and Spirit Sea Realm was extrely challenging, and the Rotating Pill Realm was no less difficult, having to confront Bloodstripe War Beasts of both the Supre Rotating Pill and the unbeatable level.
Unbeatable in the Rotating Pill Realm, just the na alone indicated that at this level, the War Beasts virtually had no flaws in their True Qi techniques. To defeat such level Bloodstripe War Beasts, one had to possess not only unbeatable-level True Qi techniques but also other extraordinary thods.
This requirent was incredibly difficult for practitioners of the Qi Refining thod.
If more ti was wasted, allowing these Bloodstripe War Beasts to further escalate their power, the chance of defeating them turned into a virtually impossible dream.
Realizing this, many new disciples wore extrely heavy expressions.
Everyone understood that indeed, entry into the Second Holy Temple and the First Holy Temple was not easy at all!
The new disciples wore solemn faces, but the assessnt had to proceed all the sa.
After all the explanations about the Bloodstripe War Beasts were made clear, finally, the Heavenly Saint added, "According to the Envoy you belong to, co forward one by one for the assessnt!"
At this ti, one of the Envoys stepped forward and said, "Let's start with the disciple I selected. Wang Lin, step up first, enter the assessnt area, and begin your test!"
From among the crowd, a young man in the early stages of the Spirit Sea Realm stepped out and walked toward a corner of the War Beast Hall, surrounded by an area.
"Wang Lin is a disciple I chose from the Central Region of the Great Zhou Dynasty; he trained before in a fourth-grade family..."
While the Envoy introduced the young man's background, Wang Lin had already stepped into the assessnt area.
After finishing the introduction and seeing that Wang Lin was standing in the center of the assessnt area, a few Envoys exchanged glances, and then one of the Heavenly Saints directly took out a talisman and shone it toward the dark hole in front of the assessnt area.
Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!
After a series of earth-shattering roars, ten massive beasts, each towering over a dozen ters high, burst out of the hole with a "boom" and slamd onto the ground, causing the ground to tremble. They ford an encirclent around Wang Lin, who had entered the assessnt area.
Ye Chen looked over at these giant beasts and saw that they resembled humans yet were several tis more inflated in size and had fangs several feet long. Their muscles were as prominent as coiling dragons, exuding imnse strength.
Even more extraordinary were the bodies of these giant beasts. They were covered in pitch-black scales, and from these scales, Ye Chen could even sense the aura of the five great laws of the void.
Then, as the ten behemoths roared out and violently crashed down around the assessor Wang Lin, the pitch-black scales on the bodies of the ten beasts suddenly all had seven stripes turn to blood red.
Seven patterns!
These turned out to be Seven-Pattern Bloodstripe War Beasts that corresponded to the early stage of the Rotating Pill Realm!
