"There must be a mistake! This is a test of talent, right ?! I have reached the True Spirit Realm at the age of 20! I am definitely not an ordinary Cultivator!" Wei Lihuang refused to accept the result and denied it.
"I'm sorry, but there's no mistake. Even though your cultivation might be above average, we don't judge one's talent just from their cultivation base." Su Liqing said to him.
When the spectators realized that Wei Lihuang had failed the third exam, they were all dumbfounded.
"How did Wei Lihuang fail the aptitude test? He's a cultivation genius!"
"No one other than the Profound Flower Sect knows how this exam really works, so we probably will never know."
"Damn-fucking!" Wei Lihuang nagged on stage.
However, as angry as she felt, she did not dare to do something rash when there were many experts – including the Xie Family – watching over everything.
A moment later, he stepped out of the stage, and immediately disappeared from the examination area.
"What water is in that bowl? It's definitely not ordinary water." Bai Lihua asked in a loud voice.
However, the other experts there shook their heads, as they did not know.
A few minutes later, another individual managed to step into the third stage, and he was a 17-year-old youth with his cultivation base only at the 2nd level of the Basic Spirit Realm.
"He was already 17 years old, yet he was only at the 2nd level of the Basic Spirit Realm. If even a genius like Wei Lihuang was unable to pass the examination, there was no way this young man could pass."
The people there had decided in their minds that this young man would definitely fail the test.
However, moments later, after the young man had mixed his blood with a bowl of water, the spectators there were startled by seeing the water turn a pale red color for a few seconds before returning to a clear color!
"Congratulations, you've graduated." Su Liqing said to him.
"What ?! How could he pass the examination with such a cultivation base at his age ?! Something's wrong here!"
Not only the spectators, even the young man himself seemed astonished by the result, as he had almost no hope of passing through.
"I-I graduated…?" he muttered to himself.
Su Liqing nodded with a smile and said, "Yes. You can head to the fourth stage for the final exam."
The young man nodded and approached the fourth stage, where Su Yang was casually standing there with his eyes closed.
As soon as the young man stood on the stage, Su Yang opened his eyes and said, "Lin Na, fight with this young man."
"Eh? Me?" Lin Na pointed to herself with a confused face.
"I-I'm coming!" He jumped on stage a few moments later.
Lin Na nodded her head, and the two of them started fighting on stage shortly afterwards.
The fight lasted less than a minute, and as everyone expected there, Lin Na won the fight easily.
"What do you think?" Lin Na asked Su Yang after the fight ended.
Su Yang looked at the young man for a moment and nodded, "You graduated."
When the young man heard such words, his eyes were filled with tears, and he bowed to Su Yang, "Thank you, Sect Master! This disciple will not disappoint the Sect!"
"Take this and go home now to prepare. Come back in 7 days, after the pupil exam is over." Su Yang gave him a badge that identified him as a disciple of the Profound Flower Sect.
"Yes, Sect Master!" The young man bowed to her again before immediately leaving the stage.
However, as the young man tried to leave the area, he was surrounded by spectators there.
"Congratulations, Young Man! What's yourname?"
"His handsome brother, why don't we celebrate your achievement at the restaurant?"
"I am the head of the Huang Family from Smoke City. If you need help in the future, you can come to me for help!"
The young man was perplexed to see people had already licked him before he could put on the uniform of the Profound Flower Sect. It was a feeling he had never experienced before.
"I-I'm sorry I. I have to go back to my family first." said the young man before fleeing.
Meanwhile, when the other participants saw that someone had finally managed to pass the seemingly impossible test, their morale soared and their hopes recovered, returning, because it is clear to them that the test is very likely to pass.
This was especially true for participants who came from ordinary families or were already late on the path of cultivation. If a 17-year-old in the 2nd level of the Basic Spirit Realm could pass the examination, then that meant they also had a chance.
A few hours later, after testing over 5 thousand participants, only 38 people managed to pass the examination and become disciples of the Profound Flower Sect.
"The number of people who have passed the examination is less than 1% .. Even the Divine Sword Sect, one of the tightest Sects out there, is nothing like this."
"Although they won the Regional Tournament and had many heaven-defying geniuses, weren't they too strict and demanding? No matter how good the Sect was, if they didn't have disciples, it wouldn't make them good."
Some people there felt that the Profound Flower Sect was too greedy and picky with their disciples, especially considering their current situation which was in dire need of new disciples. At this rate, they would not even accept half of their limit of 1,000 disciples.
Some time later, a beautiful young lady who had just walked into the first stage caught the attention of Su Yang, something that had not happened since the beginning of the examination.
The young lady quickly noticed Su Yang's gaze as she also glanced at him all along. When she realized that she was staring at him and that she might remember him, she blushed and lowered her head at him before he touched the totem.
"19 years, the first level of the True Spirit Realm."
