According to the number of candidates registered in Muyuan County, there are a total of seven examiners in this assessment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Qin Tianya announced the official start of the assessment, he took the lead in sitting down in the middle of the review table, and the other six deputy examiners followed closely and took their seats in turn.

The chief examiner is Qin Tianya, the same governor of Fengzhou, and the six deputy examiners are Zhao Ze, the county magistrate of Muyuan County, Cai Tingzhi, the county governor, Luo Qingyun, and three seven-grade officials randomly selected from other states and counties.

Not far in front of the examiner are seven examination tables prepared for candidates, all of which are made of marble and are extremely stable. The assessment table is about five meters long, and on the right side is an object half a meter in length, width and height, covered with a black curtain, and it is not yet clear what is inside.

Next to each assessment table are two officials who are responsible for supervising and recording data.

There is a red circle mark not far in front of the assessment table, and candidates must stand in it when they take the assessment.

There is no obstacle between the audit desk and the candidates, and the entire assessment process is also open to all the candidates in the examination room.

The seven examiners looked solemn, and the chief examiner, Qin Tianya, saw that all kinds of preparations were ready, so he nodded to the officials on the side.

The officer immediately sang loudly in turn:

Zero zero one!

Zero zero two!

Zero zero three!

......

Zero zero seven!

There are a total of seven numbers, representing the number of the candidate, and the candidate who was called hurriedly got up and then hurried to the examination table.

At the same time as the first batch of candidates boarded the examination platform, the seven officials next to the examination platform also carefully lifted the curtain on the testing stone.

In the eyes of everyone in the examination room, seven red rays of light suddenly appeared, except for the examiner who already knew the inside story, the rest of the people were shocked with a look of shock!

Because the test stone used this year is actually an extremely rare ruby!

There are many kinds of detection stones, the common ones are moonstone, quartz, garnet, amethyst, spinel, etc., generally the higher the hardness, the better. Such a large ruby can be used as a test stone, which has never been seen in the history of Muyuan County.

Many people suddenly realized in their hearts: no wonder the chief examiner of this Muyuan County assessment is Qin Tianya, a dignified fusion master, most likely to ensure the safety of the test stone in this assessment!

However, most of the candidates showed a bit of bitterness at this time.

One of them, who was sitting in front of Yang Li, couldn't help but whisper: "This year's test stone is actually a ruby, now we are miserable!"

"It's miserable, you don't have any hope anyway!" said another candidate.

"They use such an expensive ruby as a testing stone, aren't they afraid that they will be damaged by the examinees later?"

"Are you stupid? Ruby is the hardest substance in the world, even elementalists can't easily cause damage, you are not a master of the element, is it too much to worry about this?"

When the candidate who asked the question heard this, he scratched his head embarrassedly and stopped talking.

At this time, the first batch of seven candidates had already come to the assessment table, only to see that they each took out the assessment items they had brought with them, such as ore, wood, etc., and put them at the other end of the assessment table.

After the placement, the candidates stepped back one after another and stood in a circle about three meters behind.

Yang Li was not too familiar with the assessment process, so he also cheered up and watched carefully.

Of the seven, three used wood and four used ore, all of which were of different sizes, shapes and colors. Yang Li recognized the types of wood from memory, which were golden silk nanmu, black iron green wood, and gloomy ghost wood.

All three types of wood are known for their toughness and higher carbon content than ordinary trees, making them the most suitable for assessment. And among these three, the gloomy ghost wood is the best, and the price is also the most expensive.

The small section of gloomy ghost wood used by candidate 007 on the far left, although it was only the thickness of an arm and half a meter long, the price was more than one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

Although Yang Li's natal element is also carbon, he definitely can't afford this kind of assessment.

As for the ores used by the other candidates, Yang Li did not recognize them. However, according to its shape and color, it should also be the most common kind, either basalt or granite, or marble.

As the clerk in charge of recording at the examination table raised his hand, the candidates began to act one after another.

Candidate 007, who used the gloomy ghost wood, took the lead in making a move, only to see him stretch out his right hand and clench his fist until the green tendons on his arm burst out, and the gloomy ghost wood placed on the assessment table was under his control, trembling and began to rise slowly.

The higher the content of the corresponding natal element in the controlled item, the easier it is for the test taker to control.

The carbon content of ordinary trees is about 40% to 50%, and the carbon content of gloomy ghost trees is slightly higher, which can reach 55%. However, the proportion of 55% is still not high, and it will be very difficult for candidates to control it.

And the fact is that under the control of Candidate 007, the gloomy ghost wood shook very obviously when it rose.

Yang Li glanced at the rest of the candidates again, and found that the wood and stones controlled in front of them were all similar, the difference was only the specific magnitude of the shaking. In particular, a few candidates who controlled the stones shook violently, and it seemed that there was a danger of falling down every moment.

It is common knowledge that stone of the same weight is more difficult to control than wood.

Only Yang Li knows the essential reason for this phenomenon: most of the natal elements of the candidates who control the stones are the most common calcium and silicon, which almost do not exist in elemental form in nature, but mostly in the form of silica, calcium carbonate and other compounds, plus there are many other impurities in the ore, and the overall natal element content is often lower than the carbon content in the wood, only about 30% to 40%.

With such a low content of natal elements, it is naturally more difficult to control.

However, for the examinee, controlling the process of the object's ascent is actually a way to show the strength of the examinee's elemental strength.

The more smoothly the controlled object rises, the stronger the candidate's elemental power. Although it is rare to see candidates who can control large stones evenly, it is not uncommon.

And looking for such candidates is the real purpose of the selection and assessment.

Whenever a candidate controls his or her object to a specified height, the seven examiners will unanimously lift their pens and write down the results of the candidate's "control".

Among the first batch of seven candidates, only the No. 007 candidate performed unsatisfactorily, and probably barely got the "B" assessment.

This is only the first step of the assessment, after completing this item, the candidate must continue to control his assessment object and try his best to hit the test stone on the other side of the assessment table.

Behind the detection stone is a buffer made of cork with a scale.

The greater the impact force of the impact, the greater the distance traveled by the detection stone, and the higher the corresponding "destructive force" score.

It was still the 007 candidate who took the lead, only to see him take a deep breath, then let out a low cry in his mouth, and his entire right arm swung down violently, and the gloomy ghost wood began to gradually accelerate, and then volleyed towards the detection stone.

"Bang!"

A few seconds later, the gloomy ghost wood slammed into the detection stone, and was immediately bounced off. The test stone also moved a short distance to the right due to this heavy blow, and then gradually returned to its original state.

Every time the test stone moves, a scale will be left on the buffer device, and the level of the scale value represents the quality of the candidate's "destructive power" score.

At this time, an official came to the right side of the assessment table, quickly wrote down the scale value, and then announced loudly: "Candidate 007, the distance of the detection stone is 7.4 centimeters!"

This score is a little worse, and it is almost a "C" score in the "destructive power" category.

At the same time, another clerk quickly found the gloomy ghost wood that had fallen on the ground and presented it to the desk in front of the examiner. The examiners will check the extent of the damage to the object after the impact to determine the candidate's "tenacity" score.

In fact, the quality of the "tenacity" score is often only related to the type of natal element of the candidate, and has little to do with the strength of the element. It's just that the type of element has a greater impact on the candidate's combat effectiveness, so it is still included in the scope of the assessment.

Since it is a gloomy ghost wood, there is no suspense in the last "tenacity" achievement, most of which is between "B" and "B".

After a while, the remaining six candidates also completed the assessment in turn, and their performance was mediocre.

In general, candidates with carbon as the natal element and wood as the assessment object generally have average "control", poor "destructive power", and better "tenacity".

Candidates who take calcium or silicon as their natal element and stones as the assessment object are most likely to have poor "control", "destructive power", and "tenacity".

This is true every year, and there are few surprises.
