At the same time, the first round of the Spirit Root Talent Test on the Ascension Square has also come to an end.

The saplings that poked out of each bamboo compartment and represented the candidates' spiritual root talents also stopped growing.

At a glance, Shao Yuan saw many small trees that were more than five feet tall.

It is about the same height as when Shao Yuan was still a ground-level spiritual root, and those candidates should also be people with ground-level spiritual roots.

However, because Shao Yuan is now standing on the ground.

The square in front of him was so vast, and he could only see the cubicles of the tens of thousands of candidates closest to him.

After a rough count, there are only more than 1,000 people with prefecture-level spiritual root qualifications.

That's just one out of fifteen candidates.

In addition to the fact that the spiritual root saplings grow extremely prominently, it is eye-catching.

There are also spirit root saplings, which are extremely short, which also attracted Shao Yuan's attention.

They are all spiritual root saplings barely tipping on the bamboo compartment, and even some candidates' spiritual root saplings look past from the top of the compartment and cannot be seen at all.

Such a candidate should be substandard.

In the compartment that Shao Yuan could see clearly, such candidates accounted for one-fifth.

It is estimated that on the whole, those who have prefecture-level spiritual roots and innate qualifications that do not meet the standards are about the same rate.

Among the more than 100,000 candidates, about 6,000 candidates have the qualifications of prefecture-level spiritual roots, and they can directly become official disciples of the outer sect of the Fu Sect.

And there are 20,000 candidates who are not up to the standard only because of their natural qualifications, and such candidates have two choices, either they can live in the outer city of Fu City and become a mortal disciple.

Or just leave Fu City.

While Shao Yuan was still thinking about it, a thick branch grew from the formation runes under the feet of those candidates who had earth-level spiritual roots and those whose talent and qualifications were not up to standard, and gently held them up.

The difference is that the former was carried up and sent to the high platform where the high-level members of the Fu Sect were located.

The latter was sent out of the confines of the Ascension Plaza.

Similar to Shao Yuan's estimate, there are more than 6,000 candidates with prefecture-level spiritual roots.

And when those candidates were sent to the front of the high platform, they were all full of energy, and they were already confident before they took the assessment.

Of course, Shao Yuan also noticed that there were more than a dozen candidates with ecstatic expressions on their faces.

There was even a female candidate who cried directly with excitement.

As for the substandard candidates who were sent out of the Ascension Plaza, although their expressions were different, Shao Yuan could sum up the same emotion, loss.

At the same time, Shao Yuan found that there were far more candidates with substandard talent qualifications than he estimated, with more than 30,000 candidates.

In the first round of assessment alone, almost a quarter of the number of assessors was brushed away.

In addition, more than 6,000 candidates with prefecture-level spiritual roots who were exempted from the later assessment.

At this time, there were suddenly a lot fewer people in the entire Ascension Square.

The examinees, who were still standing in the small bamboo cubicle, found that the originally narrow space was immediately widened.

The Sect Master on the high platform stood up again.

"All candidates sit cross-legged and start the second test!"

The still small sound reached everyone's ears.

Then, the old man of the Fu Sect who was in charge of the formation before sat down, and another figure shrouded from head to toe under the black cloak stood up.

I saw that the high-ranking member of the Fu Sect slowly raised his hands.

It is different from the cyan aura that erupted from the former.

The aura emitted by this high-ranking member of the Rune Sect was actually black.

"How could it be a black aura?" Shao Yuan wondered.

In the Five Elements Aura, there is no existence of black aura.

The female disciple of the Fu Sect on the side was a little surprised when she heard Shao Yuan's words, how could this disciple not even know this.

"That's Elder Fu Li's dark attribute aura transformed from fire attribute aura. ”

Listening to the answers of others, Shao Yuan, who originally only knew that there were five elements of aura between heaven and earth, thought that heaven and earth were composed of the basic five elements, and the five elements aura could naturally be transformed into other aura.

"Thank you, senior sister, for solving your doubts. Shao Yuan immediately thanked the female disciple of the Fu Sect.

The other party didn't reply, just bowed slightly.

At the same time, the aura released from the hands of the high-level Fu Sect on the high level of the high Tai also slowly came into contact with the formation on the Ascension Plaza.

The formation that originally glowed with blue light was immediately dyed black.

The runes on the formation also gradually changed.

The bamboo rafts standing in the square are also beginning to turn yellow, but they are still standing upright.

A black mist spread out from the formation, enveloping the remaining candidates.

The whole square was silent at first.

However, it didn't take long for Shao Yuan to keenly hear screams starting to come from the square.

As time went on, more and more candidates let out a terrible shout, and it was even accompanied by the thumping sound of hitting the bamboo row.

Of course, more monks still sat quietly, but the expressions on their faces changed more or less.

After the black qi enveloped the entire Ascension Square for half an hour, it finally began to slowly dissipate.

And the bamboo raft that was originally standing in the square also disappeared, and a candidate also appeared in Shao Yuan's sight.

Most of them still sit cross-legged in the same position as before.

The candidates who stood up stood in different postures, their eyes were hollow, and their faces made various distorted and exaggerated expressions.

Shao Yuan had seen such an expression before.

On the faces of the mountain bandits who are attacked by their own controlled ghosts.

There is no doubt that these candidates were eliminated in the second test.

After a pause of a few breaths after the black fog cleared, the standing candidates returned to normal.

Some immediately squatted down and burst into tears, and some let out heart-rending roars.

Others seem to be still immersed in the horrors they see in the black fog.

The next moment, another high-ranking member of the Fu Sect stood up, holding a piece of rune paper in his hand and throwing it into the air.

The rune paper instantly turned into countless clouds of white mist, sweeping towards those failed candidates.

Led them out of the confines of the Ascension Plaza.

The Sect Master of the Fu Sect immediately said: "The remaining candidates will be the official disciples of my Fu Sect from today onwards, and after entering the inner city, there will be special senior brothers and sisters to guide you." ”

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the remaining candidates in the square were filled with joy.

They were not as calm as the candidates who had been recruited in advance after the first round of tests and possessed prefecture-level spirit roots, and most of them burst into laughter in unison.

The solemn atmosphere in the square was swept away.

"Senior sister, isn't there another assessment called Asking the Heart?" Shao Yuan looked at this scene, but he was confused in his heart, and immediately asked the female disciple of the Fu Sect next to him.

"The second round of the test is a conscience. "The female disciple was about to say when she heard this, you don't know how to enter the Fu Sect.

But after thinking about it, there must be something special about the other party being able to receive a special summons from the sect master.

Combined with the fact that he doesn't know a lot of things, and the realm is only at the tenth level of the Naling Realm, it means that there is a high probability that he has just joined the sect not long ago.

Was he recruited in advance because he had the talent and qualifications of at least a ground-level spiritual root?

Thinking of this, the clever female disciple of the Fu Sect stopped saying too much and threw an envious look at Shao Yuan.
