"Let's begin the test."
Elder Ling Qiang also focused his attention to see how capable this Jiao Chong was, and whether he was hiding his true strength.
After all, he was a member of the Ling Family, and the Black Water Thunder Flood Dragon Clan was about to threaten the Ling Family. Thus, he wanted to see if the number one genius of the Black Water Thunder Flood Dragon Clan surpassed the number one genius of the Ling Family, or was he slightly inferior?
This Jiao Chong didn't say anything else, and directly punched out.
"Peng!"
A fist imprint was left on the Frost Steel Stone Tablet.
"Four inches, nine and a half stars evaluation!"
A light flashed through Elder Ling Qiang's eyes.
Just a bit more, and it would be ten stars. This was indeed a bit different from the number one genius of the Ling Family.
After all, the number one genius of the Ling Family, Ling Zhantian, had scored 5.1 inches when he was at the third level of the Netherpassage Realm, surpassing ten stars.
But don't forget, Jiao Chong was only in his human form, and hadn't returned to his original form.
"This Black Water Thunder Flood Dragon Clan is indeed a big threat!"
The surrounding Ling Family experts' eyes all flashed as they thought to themselves.
The group of Black Water Lightning Flood Dragon Clan experts below also sighed in their hearts.
"This brat has already lived for a hundred years, and still doesn't know how to endure. If we become a thorn in the side of the Ling Family, we will definitely be the first to be eliminated, or suppressed …"
The leading Demon Race expert was very annoyed, but this Jiao Chong was the son of the Black Water Thunder Flood Dragon Clan's head, and he didn't dare to reprimand him.
"Good, let the test continue!"
Elder Ling Qiang shouted.
Soon, the physique test was over. Of the one hundred and fifty people, only seventy passed.
Next was the soul strength test.
This soul strength test was rather simple, and could be completed in one go.
Everyone jumped onto the stage, and then stood in a circle. Even those who didn't pass the physique test could. After all, it was only a test.
Of course, the actual combat test required both physique and soul strength to pass.
Then, Ling Qiang took out a large golden bell from his Yin and Yang Ring.
"This is our Heavenly Thunder Hall's Soul Toll Bell?"
"Definitely not. This is only a replica."
"Even if it is a replica, it is still a very powerful artifact. It is said that it can directly attack one's soul. The soul strength test requires one to withstand twelve rings................
Some of the surrounding disciples recognized the golden bell.
At this time, Elder Ling Qiang said, "Everyone stand properly. Next will be the soul strength test. I will ring the bell every three breaths, and every time you survive one ring, you will gain half a star. Only those who can survive twelve rings will pass the test. In addition, you are not allowed to use True Qi or Wanxiang Force to resist this test. "
The surrounding testers nodded, indicating that they understood.
Ye Xuan blended into the crowd and stood quietly. He did not know how long his soul could last.
"Alright, let the test begin!"
Elder Ling Qiang looked around and then smashed his fist on the Soul Chime Bell.
"Buzz!"
The sound of a bell rang out. Although it sounded ordinary, the sound of the bell was soul-stirring.
If a person at the first level of the Manifestation Realm heard this bell, their soul would probably be immediately shattered and they would become an ownerless shell.
Fortunately, this arena was big enough. Those who had not been tested were very far away, so it would not affect them.
The first bell sound was only a half-star evaluation, and only six stars were considered to have passed. Therefore, the surrounding people did not show any signs of discomfort.
"Buzz!"
After three breaths, Elder Ling Qiang punched again, and the sound of the bell resounded once more.
The second ring!
"Buzz!"
The third ring!
These were all just appetizers. However, when the bell sounded for the tenth time, some people began to feel dizzy.
Without True Qi or Wanxiang Force, these bell sounds directly attacked their souls, and some people had already begun to sway.
"Buzz!"
When the bell sounded for the eleventh time, some people's eyes rolled back as they fell backwards.
Seeing this, Heavenly Thunder Hall experts immediately rushed in from outside the arena, carrying the fallen people away. If these fallen people continued to stay on the arena, their souls would be heavily injured, or even extinguished.
After a Heavenly Thunder Hall disciple who was carried away was brought out, he also slowly recovered. He looked around and sighed helplessly.
He did not survive the eleventh ring, so it was still a five-star evaluation. Only by surviving the eleventh ring would he receive a five-and-a-half star evaluation.
It looked like he had to focus on cultivating his soul.
"Buzz!"
When the bell sounded for the twelfth time, quite a few more people fell. As long as they could survive this bell, they would be considered to have passed the soul trial.
Of those participating in the trial, some focused on the cultivation of the Physique while some focused on the cultivation of the soul. Of course, those who cultivated the soul were still in the majority. After all, the soul was linked to Wanxiang Force.
Therefore, the number of people who survived this round was actually much more than those who passed the Physique test.
However, what followed next was people falling in droves.
"Buzz!"
When the bell sounded for the thirteenth time, yet another ten-odd people's eyes rolled back as they fell onto the arena.
Currently, there were still over fifty people standing, virtually all of them at the second level of the Netherpassage stage, with a few at the first level still holding on, their figures swaying.
"Oh? Not bad, there are actually still a few at the first level of the Netherpassage stage. "
Elder Ling Qiang was rather surprised.
Actually, those at the first level of the Netherpassage stage who could survive ten bell chimes would already be considered exceptional amongst those at the same level. However, as this was a test for entering the Heavenly Thunder Forbidden Land, the requirements were naturally higher.
One breath.
Two breaths.
After two breaths of the thirteenth bell chime, yet another person fell onto the arena. Immediately, Ling Qiang used the power of Wanxiang to directly fling this person out of the arena.
The trial continued.
"Buzz!"
The fourteenth bell chime sounded.
As long as one could last past three breaths, they would be assessed with seven stars.
The people outside were all guessing inwardly. How many first level Netherpassage stage examinees would be able to achieve such an assessment?
A breath passed.
"Thump!"
Someone fell. One.
Two breaths passed, and two of them fell.
On the third breath, all of the first level Netherpassage stage examinees had fallen.
No, there was still one more!
"The hell, that person is still not falling."
"Wasn't he the one who obtained an eight star assessment in the Physique test just now while at the first level of the Netherpassage stage?"
"So strong, both his Physique and soul being so strong. His battle prowess definitely isn't weak, right?"
The person the surrounding Heavenly Thunder Hall disciples were discussing was precisely Ye Xuan.
A mere fourteen chimes of the Soul Bell were still nothing to Ye Xuan. Up till now, he didn't seem to have any problems at all.
"Buzz!"
As the fifteenth bell chime sounded, Ye Xuan still persisted.
