The young man in yellow, with keen ears and eyes, heard his words and laughed heartily as he spoke:
"Hahaha, this world is inherently unfair! You lower plane trash are truly unsophisticated country bumpkins!"
Upon hearing this, even Lin Chen found it unbearable and said calmly:
"By that logic, Brother, you must be soone from a higher plane?"
The young man in yellow glanced at him indifferently:
"And what are you supposed to be? Qualified to converse with ?"
Lin Chen responded with a slight sneer:
"Heh, I thought you were a powerful expert, but it turns out you're just a pathetic fool relying on false bravado!"
The young man in yellow imdiately changed his expression and said coldly:
"Kid? What did you say?"
"I don't want to repeat the sa words, especially not to trash!"
"You're courting death!"
The young man in yellow's forehead bulged with veins, intending to strike, but seed to recall sothing and suppressed his killing intent.
"Hmph, kid, keep talking tough now. You'll see what happens later!"
After speaking, he no longer looked at Lin Chen but fixed his gaze on the square.
Lin Chen thought nothing of it, facing soldiers when they co, using earth to block floods; naturally, he wouldn't sit idly by while others bullied him.
The grey-clad young man seed sowhat apologetic and said to Lin Chen:
"Brother, I've dragged you into this, I'm really sorry. If he bullies you, I'll definitely step in! My na is Wang Li, and yours?"
Lin Chen held quite a favorable impression of this so-called Wang Li, although not very experienced in the world, it was clear he was a good person.
"No worries, if that fellow is seeking death himself, I won't stop him. It's not your fault. By the way, I'm Lin Chen!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Li showed a smile, about to say sothing further when Murong Fu spoke again.
"So ascenders from lower planes might feel it's unfair, but that's how it is, and it cannot be changed! However, you aren't entirely without a chance to change your fate; this test is a great opportunity for you all!"
"In this test, there will be selections from five primary sects, ten secondary sects, and more tertiary sects within Qingyun County. If the test results are excellent and your talent extraordinary, you might be directly recruited into a sect to enjoy top-tier cultivation resources! I can say, as long as you have power, this is your chance to reach higher dinsions!"
"Alright, Li Shan, the rules are always the sa, let's start quickly!"
Upon hearing this sowhat rude remark, Lin Chen and the others couldn't help but turn their heads to look. A short, disheveled-looking elder stood in the most prominent spot on the square.
Beside him, a woman as beautiful as a goddess covered her mouth, chuckling lightly, then spoke softly:
"Elder Sword Bone, you're still so impatient!"
The elder nad Sword Bone rolled his eyes upon hearing this and said:
"Your Luoshui Sect might not be in a hurry, but my Heavenly Sword Pavilion hasn't recruited a deserving disciple for a long ti! Hey, Murong Fu, hurry up and start!"
Murong Fu did not react with anger as expected by the people. Instead, he nodded slightly to Elder Sword Bone and then said:
"Since all ascenders from 108 towns in Qingyun County are here, let's start the test! The test consists of two parts: Divine Power and Soul Power. Divine Power's purity indicates your potential, while Soul Power reflects soul strength crucial for cultivation."
"Alright, first test, Han Mountain City!"
With Murong Fu's words, a rough middle-aged man led dozens to the square.
"Thank you for your hard work, ascenders. State your nas, then place your palms on these two steles one by one, understood? Good, let's begin!"
As the test officially comnced, the atmosphere on the square beca sowhat tense.
The first to test was a middle-aged man. He took a deep breath, then placed his palm on the first black stele. After a brief silence, the stele imdiately emitted a beam of light, releasing the energy of his God Realm's first level, and a relatively dim golden star appeared on the stele.
"One-star Divine Power, continue."
The man then placed his hand on the second white stele. After a breath's ti, two stars appeared on the stele, though the second star was dimr.
"One-and-a-half-star Soul Power, next!"
Seeing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but frown, realizing the God Realm's cultivation system seed different from that of the lower world, thus lacking confidence in his test results. But since he ca, he decided to relax; he needed intense cultivation to find others who had gone missing.
As ti passed, many talented geniuses began to erge, with sects extending olive branches according to their talents. So even experienced fierce competition among sects, proving that geniuses are sought after everywhere.
Soon, it was Donglong City's turn.
Lin Chen and the others followed behind Elder Chu, stepping into the square's center.
Murong Fu's patience had worn thin; he waved his hand to signal the crowd to begin, so the thirteen ascenders from Donglong City comnced their tests.
The results of the first few were average, with one young girl's Divine Power reaching four stars and Soul Power reaching five stars, leading to recruitnt by a secondary sect.
Lin Chen stood toward the end, and Wang Li, whom he had just t, was one person ahead.
Wang Li's test results surprised him: mid-first level God Realm cultivation, four-star Soul Power, four-star Divine Power; recruited by a tertiary sect, he hesitated but eventually accepted.
Soon it was Lin Chen's turn. He took a deep breath and slowly placed his palm on the stele.
Upon touching the stele, Lin Chen felt a peculiar energy traversing his major ridians, unable to resist, feeling slightly startled. However, realizing others showed no unusual reactions, he set his mind at ease.
But when the energy swept across his Dantian, a sudden change occurred!
The small lotus hidden within Lin Chen's Dantian seed to confront a mighty foe, swiftly devouring the energy, leaving only a trace that escaped from Lin Chen's body.
Subsequently, on the stele, a dim star barely visible slowly brightened.
Divine Power: One-star?
Ignoring others' mocking or disdainful looks, as the energy was devoured, Lin Chen discovered his vitality slowly undergoing transformation! anwhile, the small lotus, the instigator, fell into slumber!
With the test ongoing, Lin Chen reached out his hand again to touch the stele.
This ti, the disdain on people's faces hadn't faded before their expressions transford into shock:
Soul Power: Nine-star!
