"Now, if you are ready to take part in the Dragon Essence Temple disciple exam, go forward and enter the gate!"

After he finished speaking, the middle-aged man jumped down from the gate before walking to the gate as a demonstration, disappearing into the portal.

And soon after, the people there started rushing towards the gate. Meanwhile, there were more than a few people there who decided to remain standing and not approach the gate, clearly hesitating to continue.

As for Yuan, he followed the mass and entered the gate.

A second after entering the gate, along with everyone entering the gate, Yuan was transferred to a vast, empty meadow that stretched to the horizon. Furthermore, there was another gate similar to the one they had just entered a few miles away from their location.

"A-Where are we?"

The people there were confused as to why they were being taken to this empty meadow. After all, what could they do in this place that was related to the examination?

After waiting for a few minutes for everyone to gather, the middle-aged man in colorful robes started talking, “This will be your first test. In this vast meadow that spanned over 10,000 miles, there were 1,000 hidden jade slips, and only those with jade slips could advance to the next examination stage. You all have two days to advance to the next test by entering the gate there before you are automatically disqualified and expelled from this place. ”

"Does anyone have any questions?"

The participants there immediately raised their hands.

“What kind of inspection is this? I don't see how finding a needle in a haystack has anything to do with being a disciple of the Dragon Essence Temple! ”

The middle-aged man turned to whoever had just spoken and said, “This is a test based on your luck ” we just test your fate ” whether you are destined to be a disciple or not. Although you might not understand it, one's luck and destiny played a huge role in the cultivation world, and without one of these, you would never achieve anything great in the cultivation world, either, and our Dragon Essence Temple is useless to such a person. ”

“Senior, what exactly do you mean by ‘hidden’? Are they buried underground or just placed around these meadows? ” Other participants asked a moment later.

The middle-aged man smiled at the participant's question and said, “There are 997 jade stones resting on the ground usually with three special jade buried in the ground. If one of you manages to find a jade slip buried in the ground, you will receive a very special gift at the end of the exam if you pass the exam, WEB, or you can exchange the jade slip to automatically become a disciple. However, if you do, you will lose the prize. The choice is up to you. ”

After answering a few more questions, the middle-aged man said, "The first examination begins!"

As soon as the middle-aged man ended his sentence, the thousands of people gathered there began to spread out in all directions and ran around with their heads looking left and right endlessly.

Meanwhile, Yuan stood there with a calm expression on his face.

‘This is not much different from when I had to choose Spirit Grass with Yu Rou. I should be able to find it with my Divine Sense,’ Yuan thought inwardly.

‘Hm? Why is this young man just standing there?’ The middle-aged man turned his head to look at Yuan after noticing his strange behavior. However, when he saw the powerful aura subtly emitted from Yuan's body, he immediately gasped in shock.

‘Fifth level Spirit Warrior ?! Why would such a person participate in our disciple exam?! He could instantly qualify to become an Inner Disciple if he spoke to the sect elder!’

In fact, there were some of them who thought Yuan could be a spy sent by other places.

After taking a deep breath, Yuan closed his eyes and started using his Divine Sense to search for the jade slip.

‘Divine Feelings?! Impossible! He was only a Spirit Warrior! How could he use Divine Sense?! But that aura! This feeling! He must have used Divine Sense!’

The middle-aged man became even more shocked after realizing what Yuan was doing, almost falling down in shock.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Dragon Essence Temple, a dozen sect elders gathered and watched the situation from a huge bucket of water projecting whatever was happening in the examination hall.

"What whatwhat?! Who is this guy?! He could even use Divine Sense as a Spirit Warrior!”

“Whatever he” background must be very strong! Maybe that's why he hid his identity!”

"What should we do? Should we let him participate in the exam? ”

"Let's keep watching to see what he's doing."

While many pairs of eyes watched over every Yuan move, Yuan himself had found six pieces of jade with his Divine Sense.

‘Too easy if I look for normal jade slip. Let's try to find the one buried in the ground for that special gift. I have two full days anyway.’

With that thought in mind, Yuan walked around the vast prairie with his Divine Sense activated.

After strolling for three hours with his Divine Sense constantly looking around, Yuan suddenly stopped moving.

"Oh? Is this?"

Yuan took out his Starry Abyss and used it to dig a hole in the ground.

A moment later, he grabbed the red-colored jade slip from the ground.

Meanwhile, the people watching him were speechless, as they did not expect someone with Divine Sense to participate in their disciple's examination.

‘So much luck and fate ..’ The middle-aged man sighed after seeing the red jade slip in Yuan's hands.
