Chapter 244: Extreme Sorrow Turns to Joy
“Everyone, come here and stand according to your number plate!”
Elder White’s expression was cold from beginning to end as if other people owed him money. He neither smiled nor showed the slightest hint of gentleness.
Judging from the reactions of these Moonlight Sect’s disciples, this Elder White was usually very strict. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so obedient.
However, this was good.
Ling Xiao liked old people. Generally, this kind of person was less likely to be unfair.
This was absolutely beneficial to him.
“Next, we will conduct the second assessment——the potential test!”
Elder White stood under that huge gate and said, “You all should have seen this gate. It’s a treasure forged by our Moonlight Sect’s best refiner. Its principles are similar to a Seven Star Flower, but its effect is more comprehensive!”
Ling Xiao understood after hearing Elder White’s words.
Although the Seven Star Flower could test potential, it was not good enough to test potentials above seven-star.
“Next, start to take the test from back to front. Don’t use any martial techniques. Just gather true essence on your palms and hit the gate.”
After speaking, Elder White sat down and began drinking tea. Naturally, someone else would be responsible for the details of the testing course for him.
“Number 356, Liu Tian!”
“Here!”
Hearing his name, Liu Tian hastily walked out of the crowd to below the gate. He then took a deep breath and hit the gate with his palm like Elder White had said.
The gate which was supposed to make a loud noise didn’t make any noise.
Liu Tian’s hand seemed to have sunk into the gate.
Soft?
Ling Xiao was surprised. As he saw it, this was a bronze-colored gate. Therefore, he thought that it would be made of metal, but it was a material he had never seen before.
The gate didn’t have any reaction to Liu Tian’s palm attack.
“Impossible, my potential is obviously five-star! Why wasn’t this gate destroyed?”
Liu Tian yelled in shock.
“Oh, I forget to tell you something. The Seven Star Flowers that are used to test potential before the twelve sects reappeared in the world can only test the potential of martial artists who don’t have a complete martial soul. That is a huge defect!”
Elder White further explained: “The reason this gate was made was to make up the defects of the Seven Star Flower. It is also the unified test standard of sects. It doesn’t include the mortal physiques. In other words, one star represents a common-grade treasured body!”
What!
Upon hearing this, everyone including Ling Xiao was surprised.
It seemed that the reappearance of the twelve sects was truly not a simple matter. Many rules of this world might undergo subtle changes that many people wouldn’t expect.
“But I do indeed have a five-star potential. Even in this test, it should be a common-grade treasured body.”
Liu Tian said.
“That’s a good question, but why is it like that?”
White Cloud Great Master suddenly raised his voice: “I seemed to have forgotten to tell you all one more thing. If you want to get a treasured body according to the test, you should have at least awakened a 10% incomplete soul. In other words, without an incomplete martial soul, even if your potential was shown to be high before, it’s meaningless here.”
Many people were dumbfounded.
There were not many people who had awakened an incomplete soul. Those with a complete martial soul were even rarer.
The requirements of Moonlight Sect were truly high enough.
“Okay, it’s useless for me to speak more. Those martial artists who haven’t awakened an incomplete martial soul, leave now. When you leave, you will get one top-grade True Essence Pill each, which is counted as your compensation.”
Elder White’s words reflected the style of big sects like Moonlight Sect. They still wanted to win over these people.
After all, awakening an incomplete martial soul was difficult to predict. Perhaps, these youths might return today and awaken incomplete martial souls from their disappointment tomorrow.
It was not good to offend these youths.
This time, more than 200 people quietly left.
Unlike the other three tests, if their potential failed to reach the requirements, they would be directly eliminated. As for the other three tests, they could continue to participate even if they got zero points.
Potential’s importance could be seen from this point.
“Not bad. It seems that the awakening of incomplete martial souls has become much easier after the Landscape Martial Soul appeared in this world. Continue.”
Elder White clearly showed a hint of joy, but it instantly disappeared.
The second person to be tested was a young girl. When she attacked, something similar to the petals of a Seven Star Flower appeared on that gate, which shone with a strange light.
Ling Xiao noticed that this flower also had three colors.
Merely, they were a bit different from a Seven Star Flower’s: black, white and red.
Black represented soul potential, white represented internal power potential, and red represented physical potential.
This should be the standard display.
Although he didn’t know why, there were probably some conventional reasons.
“Very good, common-grade treasured body. You’re qualified; 1 point! Next!”
……
One-star meant 1 point, belonging to the common-grade treasured body category.
Two-star meant 10 points, belonging to the excellent-grade treasured body category.
Three-star meant 20 points, belonging to the rare-grade treasured body category.
Four-star meant 30 points, belonging to the immortal-grade treasured body category.
Five-star and above meant you could directly pass the assessment with full points!
It could be seen that the higher the potential, the more benefits you would get. No matter in which aspect, potential was obviously considered very important by Moonlight Sect.
One-star potential here was equivalent to a five-star potential tested by a Seven Star Flower.
Here’s five-star potential couldn’t even be tested by a Seven Star Flower.
Therefore, the test results of this gate were obviously much more accurate.
……
Martial artists took the test one after another. Some cried in joy and some in sadness.
There was no other way in this kind of ruthless test. If you failed, you would be directly eliminated.
“Number 20, Dai Yuling!”
The time to decide fate had arrived.
When Dai Yuling’s potential had been tested before, her three potentials had been just four-star and ninety percent, meaning none would light up here.
She was truly facing a major crisis.
White Cloud Great Master was also worried for her.
“This girl!”
Elder White who had been drinking tea suddenly froze. His gaze seemed a bit different upon seeing Dai Yuling, but he didn’t say anything.
Dai Yuling was tested.
Sure enough, only three one-stars lit up by 90% without completely lighting up. Although it was three colors, it was a pity.
“Little girl, is your incomplete martial soul of a healing-type?”
Seeing Dai Yuling walking down sadly with her head lowered, Elder White suddenly asked.
“Yes!”
Dai Yuling nodded.
“It turns out to be so. Although you are not qualified to be the outer disciple of Moonlight Sect, I have a friend who is the deacon of Moonlight Sect’s Medicine Peak. If you want, you can become her disciple, and you will be regarded as an inner disciple in the future.”
Elder White said with a smile.
This, however, was a rare smile.
“Is this for real?”
Dai Yuling couldn’t believe this.
“Absolutely disgraceful! Why would Elder White deceive you? Still not kneeling down and thanking Elder White!”
Hei Suo snorted.
In any case, he was not happy to see White Cloud Great Master’s disciples. He thought that she would be eliminated here, but who would have thought that she would actually encounter such a matter. This was truly upsetting.
“Hei Suo, when this Elder is talking, is it your turn to interrupt?”
Elder White glanced at Hei Suo, but those eyes were like sharp swords, making Hei Suo tremble.
“This disciple doesn’t dare.”
“Don’t dare? Then shut up.”
After speaking, he looked at Dai Yuling, waiting for her answer.
“This junior is naturally willing.”
Dai Yuling quickly nodded. If she were unwilling, wouldn’t she be a fool?
