Chapter IX Qualification Testing
The iron walls on all sides were cold and gloomy, without a trace of response, without a single change. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć It wasn't until the two children looked up that they found a pair of eyes, one blue and one yellow, on the roof of the black hole, fluorescently shining, the color of a cat's eye, the shape of a human eye. Those eyes blinked, and then disappeared in the darkness, looking particularly strange and terrifying. If it weren't for the library in his own library, if it weren't for the fact that the two children were quite brave, and they had seen some strange things, I was afraid that they would cry out in fright.
"Who are you?" Lin Peixuan asked loudly with a raised face, "What are you doing sneakily about?"
The eyes didn't come out obediently, but the voice just now suddenly sounded again, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was a man or a woman, cold, as ethereal as a ghost: "For first-time visitors, please enter the circle to undergo a qualification test to confirm your borrowing qualifications." ā
"I'm not a guest, I'm Miss Hou's Mansion!"
The attitude was disrespectful and the wording was wrong, Lin Peixuan was extremely dissatisfied, and immediately reprimanded, but the other party had no reverence for her identity at all, and ignored her anger. Only a thick pillar of green light fell from above, landing a few steps in front of the two of them, leaving the two children stunned. Looking upwards at an endless end, it was as if this pillar of light had fallen straight down from the nine heavens, and there were clouds swirling in it.
This is what the man called the magic circle, which is used to measure the potential of cultivation. Listen to what he said, but anyone who comes here for the first time has to take a test, it's a routine. There would be no danger in this seemingly simple magic circle, after all, this was the back garden of the Hou Mansion, and it was a library specially built for them by their father.
It's just that Lin Dui is a little apprehensive in his heart, he knows that the light is like a demon mirror, and entering the magic circle will expose the fact that he can't practice, he is worried that the young lady will laugh at him, although sooner or later he will be exposed in front of people, but when this moment finally comes, he is still very uneasy and unwilling in his heart. He also had a little bit of expectation, although he had already decided that he could not practice, there was always a trace of luck that he had not been officially sentenced to death, and this time, everything would be clear and clear, and the dust would settle.
He glanced at the young lady beside him. Lin Peixuan rolled his eyes back and gave him a gentle "hum", and said arrogantly: "I'll come first!" As she spoke, she took a step forward and slipped into the range of the pillar of light as if she didn't care. In fact, the little girl's heartbeat is faster than Lin Duan, cultivation is the most important event in life, and the qualification is closely related to the future cultivation achievements, she is naturally excited in the face of the important mystery that is about to be revealed, but the test is still a little early, and there is still a period of time before the nine-year-old Xingfu matures, even if the qualification is a little lower, she is not afraid.
The pillar of light that enveloped the body began to flicker, and then turned from green to colorful, the colorful pillar of light continued to rotate and transform, Lin Peixuan only felt that something had penetrated into the heart and lower abdomen, and wandered around the body, but this was not a physical feeling, but a subtle spiritual touch. But the strange thing is that he actually felt the wind, first the breeze blowing on his face, and then the air flow up and down his body swirled and even hunted in his dress.
At the same time, the gloomy iron wall on the opposite side suddenly changed, as if it was covered with a light blue curtain, and the curtain was like water waves, rippling endlessly. With the activation of the magic circle and the progress of Lin Peixuan's qualification test, a red vertical line with the thickness of an arm quietly appeared in the center of the water curtain, and a clear scale was marked on it, like a ruler, the lower end was zero, and the upper end was 1000, and then a small section at the bottom of the ruler suddenly turned from red to green, and then the green slowly but firmly spread upward, like a flexible and persistent vine climbing up.
Lin Peixuan knew that her evaluation index was rising. Standing in the center of the pillar of light, she was still holding a book, her long black hair fluttering left and right in the wind, the hem of her dress kept lifting and falling, her proud and beautiful little face was full of resolute expressions, and her big watery eyes were staring at the slowly climbing green marking.
200ļ¼400ļ¼600ļ¼700......
The green line climbed higher and slower, the little girl's expression became more and more nervous, the arms holding the book became more and more forceful, and the mouth unconsciously screamed, and the voice became louder and louder: "Faster, faster, continue, continue to ......" The green line climbed over 750 and was as slow as a snail, but finally crossed 800 little by little, at that moment the little girl couldn't help but free a hand to cover her mouth, and her big eyes were full of irrepressible surprise and excitement.
Finally, when the green line reached the scale of 803, the rotating pillar of light suddenly stopped, and in an instant it turned from colorful to green, and the swirling air flow also stopped. The little girl's nervous expression finally relaxed completely, and she breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and walked out of the circle with brisk steps.
803, this qualification score made her very satisfied. The eldest brother and the third brother have mediocre qualifications, only a little more than 400, and the second brother has good qualifications that his father also values very much, and now he is studying at the most prestigious Chonghua College in Shangling, Kyoto, and he is only 742, and her qualifications are as high as 800 when she is less than nine years old! More than 800 is among the first-class qualifications, and she can enter Chonghua College without examination! She suddenly felt that all the unhappiness and all the anger and resentment were swept away, and she raised her chin slightly and smiled at Lin Dui, with excitement, pride, self-satisfaction, and happiness in her smile.
"Sister is so amazing!" Lin Duan admired from the bottom of her heart, her little face was full of envy, and there was a little bit of apprehension and hesitation.
Mr. Ji said that there are seven grades of cultivation qualifications. The qualification of ordinary people is between 0-50, which is the seventh class, so "Lao Seven" has become a joking name for ordinary people. 50-200 is the sixth rank, and there are many low-level star masters who can barely practice but have no hope of breaking through in their lifetimes. Further up, every 150 sub-intervals are divided into a grade, and the higher you go, the stronger the qualification, the smaller the number of people, and more than 800 are classified as first-class qualifications, and there is no one in ten thousand practitioners. The bloodline of the Huaiqing Marquis Mansion is strong and stable, but not every generation has children with first-class qualifications, and it is quite satisfactory to be able to achieve second-class qualifications. The young lady turned out to be a first-class qualification, even if the Hou grandfather's father knew about it, he would be very happy, right?
But what about yourself? Is it necessary for a guy like himself who doesn't have a Gu Xing seed to take the test?
Lin Du was envious, but he was depressed, and not being able to practice was always the deepest wound in his heart.
After receiving Lin Dui's praise and seeing the undisguised envious expression on his face, Lin Peixuan, who was already arrogant, was extremely proud. Mom complained that she didn't study hard, and she was not as good as Lin Dui, but now she is a first-class qualification, an eight-year-old first-class qualification, who will be higher than herself?
Regaining her dignity and pride as an older sister, the little girl felt that Lin Du didn't seem to be so annoying, especially when she caught a trace of loneliness and determination on the other party's face, and suddenly wanted to encourage him a few words, and wanted to say to him that you won't be bad, but in the end she still pouted, only gave the other party a disdainful look, and then turned around and stood quietly aside.
At this time, Lin Duan dragged his body towards the circle very worriedly.
In any case, the seed theory is always just a theory, what if something happens to him? What if he can practice? Before being denied by the ruthless facts, Lin Duan still has a little room to dream, and there is still a trace of luck in his heart.
But more than that, I was afraid.
Obviously, I said to myself in my heart that I can't be afraid, I can't be afraid, but I'm still scared to death when it comes to the end, what a coward...... But if I can't practice, my mother won't really want me, right? My sister is watching from the sidelines, and she will definitely laugh at me. Mr. Ji will soon find out, he has been teaching me for so long, all of them are preparing for the practice, how disappointed will he be when he knows that I can't practice?
He was expectant, afraid, and slowly stepped into the circle. His little body was trembling slightly, but it wasn't excitement.
Pillars of colorful light began to spin, like a whirlwind of rainbows, sweeping through his body and searching his soul. He stood there, clenching his fists tightly, nervously looking at the scale markings on the opposite iron wall to see if it had turned green, green, or climbed as fast or slow as his sister had tested. He doesn't need it to climb so high, as long as he crosses the 50 scale mark, as long as he can practice, even if his qualifications are poor, he will work hard, a thousand times harder than others.
However, the long red line was so dazzling, like congealed blood, it was motionless, and the pillar of light around Lin Dusk rotated more and more violently, and it seemed to sense the little boy's unwillingness, and began to bumble up and down, jumping left and right, and there were many irregular whirls.
Staring at the complete red line, Lin Du's already fair and delicate face gradually lost its blood. Originally, he still had a little bit of luck, but now even this bit of luck has been wiped out. He unconsciously turned his head and looked at the young lady standing on the side. And Lin Peixuan also happened to turn her face to look at him. Through the more violent and crazy colored storm, the two children looked at each other.
She felt that he was so helpless at this moment. In an instant, her mind flashed the one who still worked hard next to the ring ruler every day, the gentle and polite him every time they met, the super serious him in the library, and her immature heart hurt gently. In fact, she also knows that he is an excellent child, but she is unwilling to be compared to him, you must know that she is still a few months older, and she has her own pride as an older sister. But she didn't understand why such an excellent and diligent younger brother didn't have cultivation qualifications, didn't it mean that the children of the Lin family could practice? Although there were examples of not being able to practice a long time ago, it was really an extremely rare thing, it hadn't happened again for generations, but now it was going to appear on Lin Dui, what an unfair thing!
But that red line just doesn't move!
No! It moved!
Just when both of them were not hopeful about this test, the bottom of the red line suddenly jumped out a little green like grass sprouting, and then, the young shoot jumped up with lightning speed, and before the two of them could react, it directly overflowed the 500 scale!
Standing in the middle of the rainbow whirlwind that had been twisted and crazy, Lin Dui just felt a strange heat flow rushing into his heart, and then something suddenly woke up in his sleep, and opened his eyes, making him feel a strange trance for a moment, an illusion of why he was here, and when he looked up, he saw that green had already encroached on half of the red ruler. He was still in a daze, he couldn't believe that the all-red ruler would suddenly change drastically in the last second, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his eyes, but when he looked again, he found that the long engraved line no longer had a trace of red, and it was already a thick green from top to bottom!
One second, two jumps, the green line from scratch, directly full grid, bursting the table!
How could this be? How could it jump so fast? How could there be people with full qualifications of 1,000? How could it be! Lin Peixuan couldn't help but scream, covering her small mouth with one hand, but her eyes were wide open, looking at the thick and rich green line, and she was shocked.
The voice that had been silent for a long time suddenly sounded again: "The qualification exceeds 1000, it is not within the scope of the evaluation results, it is suspected that the operation of the magic circle is faulty, and the detection is restarted, and the data is invalid this time." ā
It turned out that the circle was malfunctioning. This would explain why the green line would just blow the table. Lin Peixuan's shocked expression eased a lot, and the hand covering her mouth slowly lowered, but her eyes were still looking at Lin Du like a monster. The failure of the circle itself is a very strange thing, and it should be a very strange thing that the qualification evaluation red line has not been moved. How can anyone have zero qualifications? What is the matter with his younger brother?
What was going on, Lin Du himself didn't know. When he saw that the green line was full, his heart also jumped suddenly, and the whole person was stunned. From zero to a thousand, from a complete inability to practice to a super high qualification, anyone who experiences this earth-shaking change will be dumbfounded, not to mention that he is still just a child, not to mention that he has been depressed about not being able to practice for a moment last moment.
The seven-year-old boy was stunned by the sudden happiness, his little heart was beating wildly, and he subconsciously wanted to jump up and cheer a few times, but before he could lift his feet, he heard the voice of the evaluator.
The operation of the magic circle was faulty, the test result was invalid, and Lin Dui's surging blood immediately cooled by half. It's really strange to think about it, not to mention whether there are fully qualified geeks, the huge gap between the theory and the actual measurement of the astrolabe is very strange, and the sudden and rapid rise of stable zero data is also very unusual, all of which indicate the possibility of a magic circle failure.
It turned out that he was happy in vain. Lin Du subconsciously tugged at the placket of his shirt with his hand, silently waiting for the second round of testing.
