Two men in black hooded robes appeared in the doorway, and everyone in the hall turned their heads to look at the two outsiders. They unbuttoned their cloaks, took off their hoods, and their hair fell down, respectively, a black-haired, black-eyed old man and an old man with white hair, white eyes. Compared to the heavy and rough metal collar of Ma Po, the purple bronze snares looming on their necks are much more delicate and light.

They approached King Jing, and one of the white-haired old men shook hands with King Jing, and the two talked in a low voice, and King Jing nodded and invited them to sit in the two empty seats on his right.

The two old men sat down, their black and white eyes, looking sharply at the students in the entire hall, as if they were looking for something.

"Let me introduce you to our distinguished guests from the Star Tower of the Far Away City that Never Sleeps," King Jing said happily after breaking the silence, "They are Professor Black and Professor White Eyes of Star Academy, one of the sister schools of our Ten Schools Alliance of the Omniscient Tree. Together, they will participate in our next Soul Appraisal and will hold a Star Tower after-school class for the top 100 most gifted students in the Soul Appraisal for a year. ”

He cleared his throat again, "Let's go straight to the soul test now." There was another cheer from the audience.

"Principal, this is not in accordance with the rules, the school discipline ......," Ouyang Huo solemnly reminded on the side.

"Ah, yes, I'm sorry to tell you that the study of one hundred and eight school rules will probably have to wait for next time," Jing Wang turned his head and smiled at the student, Mu Zilei even saw him wink his left eye playfully at the audience, "After the soul appraisal, we will teach you according to your aptitude according to your appraisal results and interests, and arrange corresponding tutors." ”

Jing Wang nodded behind him, Gu Xiaolan walked forward quickly, and then, Jing Wang brought the two professors from the Star Tower, as well as a teacher, took the lead in leaving from the door of the backstage.

"Everyone, keep quiet, I'm Teacher Gu Xiaolan," her voice was soft and soft, and it was very clear in her ears, "When I read your name, please enter the door on the left side of the hall, and ask the two prefects to come and help lead the way." ”

At this time, Nangong Yu and Murong Jie, who had been standing quietly by the lobby, walked to Gu Xiaolan's side. Gu Xiaolan began to read the list of freshmen in the long scroll in her hand, and every time she pronounced a name, a student stood up and walked in under the turn of the two prefects.

"Do you know what this appraisal is all about?" Mu Zilei asked in a low voice.

"It's my first time participating, so I don't know. The ghost tiger shook his head.

"I just hope I don't have to ...... with those horrible spirits It's good to have a spirit beast against each other. Duanmu said with his head drooping.

"Next, Duanmu'an" teacher's voice sounded on the stage.

"I ...... At...... In!" Duanmu An was frightened and screamed in response, causing a burst of laughter.

A terrible thought flashed through Mu Zilei's mind, if he really wanted to fight against the spirit beast and he couldn't win, then the academy shouldn't kick him out, right? He now began to pray to the gods, hoping that his "opponents" were those cute pikas pulling caravans.

"Shangguan ...... Zhao ...... Wang ...... "Then" Chen...... Yuan...... Situ"

Shadow Dance, Ghost Tiger, and Lin Dumb also walked in one after another, and before they knew it, there were not many new students left in the hall.

When it was Shi Chisha's turn, Shi Chisha swaggered out of his seat, and before entering, he didn't forget to throw a smug smile at Mu Zilei - see how you, a "half-spirit", passed the appraisal.

“...... The last one, Mu Zilei!"

Mu Zilei, led by Nangong Yu, walked into the door, and in front of him was a long corridor, and he finally knew why someone needed to lead the way, because there were many closed doors on both sides of the corridor.

"Don't worry, identification is a very simple matter," Nangong Yu said softly. Mu Zilei nodded gratefully, and with a nervous mood, he pushed open the door and walked in.

The walls are made of black stone, and burning candles are placed around the walls. Through the dim firelight, Mu Zilei saw that at the end of the room was a spiritual stone tablet that had been submerged into the darkness of mid-air, and a transparent crystal ball placed on a low stone pillar. It seemed that there was no need to fight against spirit beasts, and Mu Zilei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Step forward and put your hand on the palm print of the spirit test stone tablet. ”

An indifferent voice echoed between the stone walls, not loud, but it was heard clearly in the stone room, and Mu Zilei suspected that even the sigh of dying could be heard here.

He approached the stone monument as he said, the clicking sound of the wooden leg hoop was particularly loud here, and there seemed to be someone talking in a whisper, but Mu Zilei didn't know where the sound came from.

He took a deep breath and placed his palm on the Youde Stone. The stele lit up for a moment, and after a while, the indifferent voice said again:

"Soul Monument, color: colorless. Realm: Half-spirit. Psychic Power: A Section"

There was more talk around him, and he smiled bitterly, it seemed that it was still the same, and no miracles had happened.

"Now put your hand on the crystal ball, remember, no matter what happens, you can't leave the crystal ball until we stop it, understand?"

"Understood!" Mu Zilei's voice echoed around him, talking to himself like a fool. He stretched out his hand to touch the crystal ball, when an accident happened, a staggering, drunk, bloated and ugly figure suddenly walked out of the darkness of the stone wall between the stone tablet and the crystal ball, stumbled into the low stone pillar, and the crystal ball suddenly fell to the ground with a heavy sound and rolled away. The drunk man shook his head, tried to gather his vision, and by the way, he burped, and the unpleasant smell of alcohol spread, and Mu Zilei suddenly felt a feeling of nausea.

There was a chaotic sound of chairs moving away in mid-air, and at this time, another person came out of the shadows on the wall, and when this figure approached, he realized that it was Teacher Gu Xiaolan, who was in charge of reading his name outside just now.

"Teacher Gu, what is this all about? Why is Nie Renzhen running around like this drunk?" The cold voice of the head instructor Ouyang Huo rang out, and it was particularly harsh under the effect of the reverberation.

"I'm sorry! I'll take him out right away. Gu Xiaolan was a little overwhelmed.

"I'm coming to see ...... Newborn ...... Spirit...... Identification, no one invited Nie ...... No one please—please me?" Nie staggered forward, then fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.

"It's nonsense! Why don't you take him out quickly!" Ouyang Huo's voice became even colder.

"Yes, yes, I'll take him away right away. Gu Xiaolan sounded like she was about to cry.

"Wait a minute, Teacher Gu, could you please help check the Soul Feeling Crystal Ball on the ground first to see if it is broken?" This time it was the gentle voice of Hall Master Jing Wang.

Gu Xiaolan picked up the crystal ball and looked at it, but Mu Zilei knew that she was absent-minded, because her eyes crossed the crystal ball from time to time and landed on Nie Renzhen, who fell to the ground and did not wake up.

"The Soul Crystal Ball is intact. Gu Xiaolan put the crystal ball back on the low stone pillar and said in the air to the stone room.

"Thank you for your help, then please take care of Professor Nie. The head of the hall responded.

Gu Xiaolan helped Nie Renzhen up in response and walked towards the shadow of the wall just now, and after a while, the two seemed to melt into the shadows and disappeared.

"I really don't know what to say, this is the end of today's appraisal. Ouyang Huo announced directly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a buzzing voice came out, followed by a silence.

Just when Mu Zilei didn't know whether he should leave, Ouyang Huo's voice sounded again:

"Since it's the two professors of the Star Tower, let's continue, although it's also in vain. You now place your hand on the palm print of the crystal ball and proceed to complete the identification. ”

Mu Zilei trembled and stretched out his hand again, pressing his palm tightly against the crystal ball.

Suddenly, his whole body went limp, as if all his strength was withdrawn from his body at once, he felt fatigue deep in his bones, and began to be drowsy, but at the same time he felt that he was extremely awake, and wanted to move, but his body couldn't move at all, as if he was stuck in a bottle, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't pull it out, and what was even more strange was that he began to seem shrouded in fog, and he couldn't see what was around him clearly, but gradually the fog faded until it dispersed, and he clearly saw the crystal ball in front of him, the spirit test tablet next to it, the candles around him, and even the people who had not been able to see it just now could see clearly。 He noticed that there were dozens of people sitting there, all of them teachers from the opening ceremony just now, they were staring down and didn't know what they were looking at, he recognized the head of the hall in the middle of the front row, to the left of the head of the hall was the head of discipline, he was looking down at something in disgust, and on the right were the two Star Tower Professors, and he could even hear what they were talking in low voices, as if they were coming through a thin layer of water - "Forget it, it can't be this person", while the others were either silent or just shook their heads.

"Let go, it's okay". The voice seemed to come from the second world, from vague to extremely clear, like experiencing I don't know how many spring and autumn reincarnations, and like just a moment, everything he saw and heard just now was getting farther and farther away from him, and the only thing he saw was the colorless crystal ball in front of him, and the hand that he didn't know when to leave the palm print.

"Soul Crystal, color: colorless. Realm: Consciousness realm, ordinary soul power. ”

An indifferent voice pronounced.

"Alright, you can now leave through the doorway between the stone tablet and the crystal ball. Someone said to Mu Zilei, followed by the sound of everyone's chairs being pulled apart.

I don't know how long it took, but in the empty and silent soul testing room, gray light suddenly emerged from the crystal ball with tiny cracks. The gray light flowed rapidly in the crystal ball as if it had a living force, and after a while, the gray light disappeared, and the crystal ball returned to its original transparent and clean nature.
