Chapter 292 Second Test
Lin Lee raised his brow, feeling that he passed through the invisible wall of emotional power, and then he glanced at the sky, observing the round, dome-shaped emotion shielding the whole examination venue.
'If a devil passes through this domain, his evil power will change the color of the domain, a simple and effective way to locate the target.'
Lin Lee thought to himself and then walked toward the candidate area, seeing almost all candidates already gathered inside the hall.
After a while,
A loud voice spread through the whole examination area,
"Dear candidates, I hope all of you are doing well; please, all of you gather on the ground."
Candidates glanced at each other and then gathered toward the edge of the ground,
Lin Lee also walked toward the ground, and then he was surprised looking at the large eleven pillars erected in the middle of the ground with a small platform in the middle of these pillars, where only one person can sit or stand at a time.
The host then raised the jade and spoke again, looking at all the candidates gathered around,
"Welcome to the second exam venue. Let me explain the rules of the second test. As you can see, there are eleven pillars in the middle of the ground. Each one of you will walk forward and stand on the platform in the middle of these pillars. It will assess your potential, realm, and other details. Keep in mind these pillars will shine according to your potential; lighting up the ten among eleven pillars will give you a perfect score of one hundred, and nine pillars will award ninety points and vice versa."
Lin Lee glanced at the host and then looked at the eleven pillars behind him. 'There are eleven pillars, yet lighting up ten will award a hundred points. What if someone lit up all eleven?'
"You said lighting up ten pillars will give a perfect score, but there are eleven pillars."
Just as Lin Lee thought, a timely curious voice sounded, and a candidate asked the question, pointing at the eleven pillars,
The host smiled and nodded and replied,
Experience tales at empire
"Very good, you are observant, although it's impossible to light up the eleven pillars at once, but if someone among you did it, then he will be directly promoted to the third test, and that candidate will be given an extra ten points."
Lin Lee raised his brow, feeling the host didn't explain the purpose of the eleventh pillar truthfully, then he didn't care, just waiting silently for the beginning of the exam.
"Now you all can follow and stand on the platform according to your rank in the examination, from last to first; each candidate can stay for half an incense only."
The host then allowed the candidates to walk toward the platform according to their ranks.
The candidates nodded, and then the one with three hundred thirty-four walked forward toward the platform.
Upon standing up in the middle of the platform, instantly the pillars around started lighting up one by one,
After the three pillars lit up, two shining with intense light and one with 10% light, the phenomena stopped, and the host raised the jade in his hand and announced,
"Candidate no. 334, Twenty-one points, you are disqualified. Next one,"
After speaking, the candidates standing around were startled; their hearts contracted suddenly, and a tense and anxious atmosphere spread around. Some lower-rank candidates became extremely nervous seeing such disqualification of the first candidate, while those in the top rank were standing calmly with confident expressions on their faces.
One by one, candidates moved forward with nervous and tense expressions on their faces; a lot of loud disqualification announcements spread around through the whole examination area.
Everyone sighed while shaking their heads in pity; even those lower-ranking empire representatives glanced at their disqualified candidates. They fell silent, feeling desolate and sad; the miracle they expected didn't happen.
Just as the spectators were bored because of hearing the continuous disqualification announcements, almost more than half the candidates were disqualified, and they returned back toward the candidate waiting area in despair.
Suddenly a different announcement spread through the examination area, the spectators straight up on their seats looking at the candidates standing in the middle of the pillars,
"Candidates No. 111, 51 points, congratulations, you are qualified; please return to your place and wait for the next exam announcement."
The host announced, looking at him; he also sighed in relief after seeing one candidate lit up six pillars, five fully lit pillars, and one with ten percent light.
Lin Lee glanced at the candidate who passed, and then other candidates walked forward toward the pillars.
one by one the disqualification announcement reduced along with a lot of candidates starting to pass the tests,
"Candidate no. 99, 68 points, congratulations, you have successfully passed the test."
"Candidate no. 87, 72 points, passed."
"Candidate no. 63, 74 points, passed."
"Candidate no. 27, 84 points, passed."
One by one, candidates were reduced, and the passed candidates reached more than 30; then it was the turn of the top ten candidates.
"Candidate no. 10, Shi Yan, come on the platform."
The Shi Yan glanced at the other nine candidates around him, including Lin Lee, and then spoke with a crazy smile on his face,
"Don't let me take your rank away."
After speaking, he walked forward toward the stage domineeringly and then stood up above the platform and then raised his arms.
Instantly the pillars lit up one by one,
One, two, four, six, eight, and then the ninth pillar lit up with dim light, then the light brightened. After reaching more than 60 percent, it stopped.
'As expected of the Shi clan, they are strong, crazy, and full of potential.'
The host thought to himself and then raised the jade and announced, "Candidate no. 10, Shi Yan, 98 points, you have passed the test; please return to your place."
"Candidate no. 9, Wang Wei, please come forward," the host then spoke another name, looking at the obese boy standing at the corner beside another obese candidate.
The boy nodded and then walked forward.
Lin Lee and other candidates were surprised, feeling the ground below their feet vibrating with each step taken by Wang Wei.
'This guy is heavy.'
A thought flashed through everyone's mind, then Wang Wei stood in the middle of the platform,
Instantly the pillars lit up one by one; soon the nine pillars were lit up, but the tenth pillar flickered and then dimmed and didn't light up again. ,
The host raised his brow and announced,
"Candidate no. 9 Wang Wei, 90 points, you have passed; please return to your place.
"Candidate no. 8 Lu En,"
Then the host spoke another name,
A tall boy with a burly body and bald head walked forward toward the platform, and then something strange happened: instantly all ten pillars lit up.
The wisdom masters in the top VIP area were startled, and all ten of them straightened up with bright gazes looking at the eleventh pillar,
After a while they were disappointed seeing the eleventh pillar and then shook their head.
"It seems there is no actual saint candidate in this examination; I hope someone among these candidates has such potential."
One of the figures spoke, and the other nodded, signed, and relaxed back in their chairs.
While few wisdom masters among them glanced at the direction of Lin Lee, Lan Bing, and Shen Nan,
"Maybe these three little guys can surprise us."
One of them commented, the other nodded.
thoughtfully with a hopeful gaze looking in the direction of the ground,
Meanwhile, the host gave Lu En a full score, and then the candidates no. 7 Wang An walked toward the stage and scored 91 points, surpassing his brother Wang Wei by one point.
"Candidate No. 6, Han Ke, please come forward."
The host spoke, looking at the young, tall boy with a handsome face, black hair, and tidy appearance, standing calmly while grabbing the closed fan in his hands behind his back.
The Han Ke smiled and nodded politely in the direction of the host and other candidates, then walked toward the platform.
"Hmph, show off, he is just an illegitimate child of the Han family."
Shi Yan scoffed while looking at Han Ke's smiley face with disdain, standing proudly at the other side of the candidates.
Han Ke's footsteps halted, and then he walked forward and didn't care about it.
Lin Lee raised his brow, looking at Han Ke's silent back,
'There is something strange about this guy.'
He thought to himself and glanced at the Han Ke, who reached and stood above the platform calmly.
Instantly an intense light flashed, and all eleven pillars lit up, shooting a beam of light toward the sky.
Silence spread through the whole examination area; those wisdom masters stood up from their seats and walked toward the edge of the top area, looking at Han Ke with bright gazes.
"Hehehe, I knew it; the news is true: there is going to be a saint candidate in this examination. After killing him, our devil race will surely rule the humans."
Instantly a loud, sharp, and eerie voice spread through the examination area, startling everyone.
