Chapter 18: Jun Shen Ball
In the huge circular examination room, a group of red-clothed demon Taoists were making their final reports in turn.
“...... Confirmation has been completed in the 37th examination room. ”
"Confirmation has been completed in the 38th examination room. ”
"Report to the director, all the examination rooms have been confirmed, and the examination can start on time. ”
Directly in front of the crowd, a middle-aged demon priest dressed in black nodded: "Then let's start." ”
After that, the red-clothed demon priests immediately dispersed and entered their respective examination rooms, and someone else went to the entrance of the examination room to guide the candidates to disperse and enter, but after a while, the person in charge of guidance came back with a strange look on his face.
"Director, it's strange to say, how do this year's candidates feel wilted, all of them don't belong?
The black-clothed demon Taoist snorted coldly: "The so-called average level is the highest in the ten years before and after, but it is only because the heirs of the big families such as the Lu family and the original family happened to enter the school in the same year, and the addition of Qingyue, the dean's closed disciple, made many people feel that the stars were shining." In fact, what about being from a prominent background? No matter how much the Demon Dao cultivation values the bloodline talent, it is also inseparable from personal hard work, the young masters and daughters of these families have been clothed and fed since they were young, and they rely on their talents and do not think about hard work, I don't think their achievements in the academy can be high!"
Listening to the teachings of the director from a civilian background, the red-clothed demon Taoist from a family nodded his head again and again.
——
At the same time, in the No. 1 examination room, the candidates and examiners are in place.
The first round of exams at the academy is very simple.
After the candidates walked into the huge circular hall, they entered each room in batches according to the admission ticket number. All the rooms are strictly the same in size: oval outlines, walls, floors, and ceilings are a slightly oppressive gray, and a square table with a fist-sized ball in the center attracts everyone's attention.
Jun Shen Ball.
Invented and named by the Great Master of the Apocalypse Zhu Junshen, it is the most authoritative magic talent test prop in the world.
This ordinary-looking white sphere is made up of more than 16 million magical particles that are so small that they are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, each of which has been specially forged in an extreme pressure furnace to contain a very complex structure in an extremely small volume. Sixteen million particles, each one different, will enter an excited state when infused with magical energy, and once they come into contact with humans, they will resonate and undergo all kinds of incredible changes. The examiners use these changes to judge the candidate's magic energy adaptability.
There are many types of resonance variations, the most common being deformation.
When the particles resonate, they will be displaced to varying degrees, causing the entire sphere to deform from a circle to an elliptical, square, or irregular complex shape, depending on the individual's adaptability. One of the best can even make a fist-sized ball instantly expand to a diameter of tens of meters.
This kind of change means that the candidate's demonic talent is more inclined to "mindfulness", which is a very straightforward power, with the help of "mindfulness", the magician can achieve telekinesis, sword flying immortals, practice to the extreme, and can overwhelm the mountains and seas, and the stars shift.
In addition, there is a qualitative change, after the particles in the sphere resonate, there may be changes in their properties, such as the basic volume of the particles is enlarged or reduced, the temperature is increased or decreased, or simply from a solid to a liquid or even a gas, and even the biological activation of individual particles may occur. One of the best of them once turned a Junshen ball into a little milk dog with snow-white hair and constant whimpering!
Having such a talent means that the path of growth of the Demon Daoist will be more complex and diverse, calling for wind and rain, summoning the five elements, cultivating biochemical beasts, transforming himself, and many other magical powers.
Finally, there is the mystery class, where the resonance changes of the spheres are difficult to classify into common categories and can only be listed separately. For example, after someone touches the sphere, more than half of the magic energy particles disappear on the spot and enter a strange space, and some people make an indescribable strange sound after touching the sphere, as if they are calling from an ancient evil god......
All these changes will be observed and recorded by three highly qualified college tutors, and the scoring will be completed according to the formula designed and invented by Zhu Junshen himself. And this scoring result is absolutely recognized by any demon Taoist in the Eastern and Western Continents.
Before Zhu Junshen invented the Junshen ball, there had always been an eternal problem in the cultivation of newcomers in the Demon Dao world: how to accurately judge the talent of a newcomer?
The talents of demon Taoists are varied, some people are good at imperial objects, some people are good at elemental manipulation, how to discover everyone's talents, has always been a problem that has plagued the demon Dao world, and even many demon Taoists have practiced for decades before they found that their real talent is not here.
But with the Jun Shen Ball, this age-old problem suddenly became clear, sixteen million magic energy particles, covering almost all types of magic path possibilities known to humans, and even the slightest talent could be keenly perceived.
In addition to the Jun Shen Ball, the formula designed by the Grand Master of Broken Numbers is also exquisite, counting and calculating the extremely complex reactions presented by 16 million particles, and finally using intuitive numbers as the conclusion, this kind of incredible thing can only be done by the Broken Number Grandmaster who has obtained the Apocalypse.
Today, Jun Shen Ball and the matching scoring method have become the most authoritative and accurate talent certification method recognized by all Demon Daoists in the Eastern and Western Continents.
At the same time, however, it is also the most stringent and ruthless certification law. Since its invention, there have been many young people who are full of ambition and think they are talented and have returned home in front of Jun Shenqiu.
Because Jun Shenqiu tests tens of thousands of aspiring young people from the East and West continents, the so-called geniuses in the general sense, and they can't even splash a little bit here!
Will you be able to stand out from the tens of thousands?
Many of the thirty young people in the No. 1 examination room began to beat drums in their hearts, and the sound of heartbeats could be heard clearly in the quiet atmosphere of the room.
An old man with a gray beard sat behind a desk, scrutinizing the candidates who walked into the room with a stern gaze, oblivious to their nervousness and excitement.
"Let's test one by one according to the assigned exam number, No. 1, Kim Jong. ”
The candidate whose name was called was a well-mannered young man, and when he heard the old man call his name, he straightened up a little nervously, and then walked forward with stiff steps, took a few deep breaths, stretched his hand forward, and touched the ball on the table.
In an instant, the immaculate sphere vibrated gently, and countless ripples appeared on the surface, which vibrated and collided with each other, making a crisp sound, and then gradually stabilized, forming folded ravines.
The young man named Jin Zheng was sweating profusely, his eyes were full of unwillingness, he took a deep breath, and waited to increase the strength of his hand.
The old man behind the table snorted coldly: "It's okay, stand down." ”
Although Kim Zheng was reluctant, he did not dare to disobey the examiner, so he had to bow his head and retreat.
When Jin Zheng withdrew from the circle, two people appeared out of thin air next to the old man, a man and a woman, who did not seem to be very old, the three of them looked at each other, each took out a round lens, and carefully observed the wrinkled ball from different angles.
"The magic energy coverage rate is 0.7%, the effective type is telekinetic polarization 3, the comprehensive intensity index is 13, there is no specificity, and the score is 12. ”
"The conclusion is the same. ”
"167,173 anomalies were observed...... It does not affect the score, and there is no need to re-observe. ”
Hearing the conclusion of the three examiners, Jin Zheng's face was suddenly disillusioned and he sat down on the ground.
This result was much worse than he expected.
According to the exam records of previous years, in the first talent test, you must score at least 50 points or more before you can break through the encirclement and enter Hongshan Academy...... And the one who was admitted to the academy with a talent score of 50 points scored a full 89 points in the second round of theoretical tests, which can be called a master of folk theory, so in the end he only floated at a low altitude and barely passed.
Jin Zheng only scored 12 points in the first round, which means that his demonic talent is very mediocre, not to mention that compared with those who are interested in being admitted to the Red Mountain Academy, it is only average in the entire continent, even if he really embarks on the path of cultivation, it will inevitably be a bumpy road...... Such a result basically means that he can say goodbye to the Demon Dao.
With deep unwillingness, Kim Zheng left the examination room.
And his results did not affect the rest of the room at all.
Of the more than 50,000 candidates, only more than 100 people can have the last laugh, so the loser is the most common, and it is not worth wasting time to care about it at all...... Instead of caring about others, take advantage of the last time to adjust your body and mind to stimulate the most beneficial resonance.
