"Now that I've introduced the rules, let me introduce myself … My name is Dong Chong, and I'm the outer court elder of the Moon Illumination Sect.
The old man said slowly.
"These rules …"
Duan Lingtian could not help but frown when he heard the rules Dong Chong mentioned. "Only those below the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage under the age of 40 can pass the first section of the assessment?"
Although his current combat strength was comparable to an ordinary Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage powerhouse, his cultivation base was only at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage.
His cultivation base could not be hidden from the Secret Spiritual Technique!
"Senior Brother Duan, your cultivation base is only at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage … According to the old man's rules, doesn't that mean you can't even pass the first section of the assessment?"
Xiong Hu frowned and scolded, "What kind of stupid rule is this Moon Illumination Sect's entrance assessment? They only look at cultivation base and not combat strength? Isn't this a scam? "
Whether it was Xiong Quan or Ling Yun, both of them knew that Duan Lingtian had broken through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage.
Naturally, they also knew that although their Senior Brother Duan's cultivation base was only at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage, his combat strength was invincible among those below the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage.
Even an ordinary Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage powerhouse might not be a match for their Senior Brother Duan.
Ling Yun could not help but frown as well. It would be a huge joke if even Senior Brother Duan could not pass the Moon Illumination Sect's entrance assessment.
"Don't worry."
Fang Hui smiled when he saw Duan Lingtian and the other two frowning. "Duan Lingtian might not pass the first section of the assessment, but it won't be difficult for Duan Lingtian to pass the second section of the assessment."
"The second section of the assessment?"
Duan Lingtian and the other two looked at Fang Hui in confusion when they heard that.
Since Dong Chong had not told them the details of the second section of the assessment, they had no idea what it was.
"The sect gives young geniuses below the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage a chance so that they won't be neglected … Even if they fail the first section, they'll still be able to join the sect as long as they pass the second section of the assessment," Fang Hui said.
Fang Hui said.
"Those on the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage don't have to participate in the second stage of the assessment. Those on the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage who participate in the second stage of the assessment will be the 'rake'. Those who didn't pass the first stage of the assessment will be the 'target' when they participate in the second stage of the assessment. As long as they succeed in the challenge, they'll be considered to have passed the entrance assessment and can directly enter the sect."
Fang Hui continued.
"As for those at the Perfection Mortal Shedding Realm who are challenged and defeated, they will lose the opportunity to enter the sect."
Fang Hui finished explaining the rules of the entrance examination before Dong Chong did.
Whoosh!
After Dong Chong finished speaking, all the young geniuses present were in an uproar.
Only the 18 City Masters, including Fang Hui, were not surprised because they already knew the rules.
"If that's the case, a Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage powerhouse will be disqualified and lose the qualification to enter the Moon Illumination Sect after being defeated just once?"
"This is too cruel! He was defeated and was not even given a chance. "
"Actually, this is understandable. A person at the Perfection Mortal Shedding Realm who can't even win against someone whose cultivation base is lower than his has almost no future. "
"However, I don't think such a situation will happen … It's usually impossible for someone whose cultivation base is below the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage to defeat someone at the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage."
"That's true. If he's really defeated by someone below the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage, it's because he's not as good as his opponent. He deserves to be disqualified. "
…
The surrounding people discussed among themselves and gradually accepted the rules.
"That's good."
Duan Lingtian sighed in relief after knowing the content of the second section of the assessment.
It was not difficult for him to defeat someone at the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage.
Soon after, the entrance examination of the Moon Illumination Sect officially began under the leadership of Dong Chong, the outer court elder of the Moon Illumination Sect.
The young geniuses from the 18 cities under the Moon Illumination Sect who were recommended by the City Masters and recruited by the outer court elders and deacons of the Moon Illumination Sect ascended the stone platform one after another.
Ten of them formed a group and were scrutinized by the two middle-aged men behind Dong Chong.
The two middle-aged men were the outer court deacons of the Moon Illumination Sect.
Naturally, although it looked like they were scrutinizing them, they were actually probing the young geniuses' age and cultivation base with the Spiritual Secret Tactic.
"Thirty-six years old, Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage, pass."
"Thirty-four years old, Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage, pass."
…
All the ten young geniuses in the beginning passed.
"Don't tell me I'm the only Martial Cultivator who's not at the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage or above among the group of young men present?"
Duan Lingtian could not help but smile wryly in the face of this result.
"There should be many Martial Cultivators at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage."
As an experienced person, Fang Hui knew much more than Duan Lingtian. "In the Dao Martial Saint Land, there are still many genius Martial Cultivators who can defeat opponents at a higher level … However, the Martial Cultivators at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage that I've seen before can only defeat ordinary Martial Cultivators at the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage at most."
When Fang Hui reached the end of his sentence, he looked deeply at Duan Lingtian.
It was as if he was saying to Duan Lingtian, "Not all Martial Cultivators are at the same level.
Not every Martial Cultivator at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage is as crazy as you who can even defeat someone at the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage.
Just like what Fang Hui had said.
There were two Martial Cultivators at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage in the second batch of young geniuses who did not pass the second stage of the assessment. However, they were not discouraged because of this. It was obvious they knew this would happen.
Their target was the second stage of the challenge.
Only those who were eliminated in the first stage would have a chance to challenge in the second stage.
There were more Martial Cultivators at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage among the third batch of young geniuses who went up.
There were even fewer people in the fourth batch.
When the fifth batch of young geniuses went up, Xiong Hu exclaimed, "It's that boy!"
Upon hearing Xiong Hu's reminder, Duan Lingtian and the other two stared at the stone platform in front of them. They noticed Ye Man was among the ten people.
Ye Man stood there with a cold aura exuding from his body. He seemed out of place with the other nine young geniuses. The other nine young geniuses were intentionally or unintentionally keeping a distance from him.
"Devil Cultivator?"
"This young man is a Devil Cultivator!"
"Tsk tsk … The cultivation speed of Devil Cultivators has always been heaven-defying. I wonder how old he is this year and what's his cultivation base."
"His age and cultivation base must be shocking … Let's wait and see."
…
Ye Man attracted a lot of attention. More and more people's attention was focused on him.
"Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage at 30 years old!"
As one of the middle-aged men next to the outer court elder, Dong Chong, spoke, the entire place was in an uproar.
The middle-aged man was talking about Ye Man.
"As expected of a Devil Cultivator! He's only 30 years old and he's already broken through to the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage. "
"Amazing! Amazing! "
"He's even more powerful than I imagined."
…
At that moment, the entire place was in an uproar.
Ye Man was the first person at the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage to appear in the Moon Illumination Sect's entrance assessment today. As expected, he became the center of attention.
Not only were the nine young geniuses standing next to him, but even the young geniuses who passed the first stage of the assessment were overshadowed by him.
Ye Man stood on the stone platform with his nose in the air and a proud expression on his face.
He enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.
At the same time, his condescending gaze landed on Duan Lingtian as he looked down at Duan Lingtian.
"Duan Lingtian, you're destined to be stepped on by me, Ye Man!"
Ye Man's True Energy Voice Transmission was extremely arrogant.
However, Duan Lingtian did not care at all. His expression remained the same as he glanced at Ye Man indifferently. He did not even bother to talk to him.
In his opinion, Ye Man was just a defeated opponent.
He was, he was, and he would be in the future.
How could a defeated opponent be brave enough to speak?
Duan Lingtian's attitude made Ye Man's face turn completely grave. He did not expect Duan Lingtian would still dare to ignore him at this moment.
For a moment, Ye Man only felt that his anger was about to burst out.
"Duan Lingtian … If I don't kill you, I, Ye Man, swear I'm not human!"
Ye Man's eyes gleamed ferociously as he gritted his teeth and mumbled.
Since Ye Man was at the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage, he was exempted from the second stage of the assessment. He was led to the outer court area of the Moon Illumination Sect's estate by an outer court disciple.
Ye Man was also the first person among the group of young geniuses who passed the entrance assessment and became a disciple of the Moon Illumination Sect.
"Senior Brother Duan, the way Ye Man looked at you was as if he wanted to swallow you whole … How much hatred do you have for him?"
Although Ye Man's gaze was not directed at him, Xiong Hu still had goosebumps.
"To a narrow-minded person, even a small conflict can be regarded as the hatred of killing one's father or stealing one's wife … How much hatred do you think he has for me?"
Duan Lingtian asked back.
Xiong Hu was speechless.
The hatred of killing one's father and stealing one's wife were the greatest hatred in the world!
"Duan Lingtian, be careful of Ye Man when you enter the sect … There's no kind person among the Devil Cultivators. Especially since he might have turned into a devil because of you! "
Fang Hui said with a solemn expression on his face, "If an ordinary Martial Cultivator or Dao Cultivator falls into the Devil Dao because of some obsession … Then, there are only two paths before him."
The first path is to get rid of the obsession and soar! The second path is to fail to get rid of the obsession. If it's light, he'll go through Qi Deviation. If it's serious, he'll be devoured by the Devil Qi and die. "
Fang Hui had done his research on Devil Cultivators before.
After his wife was forced to commit suicide by Liu Huan, he had thought of falling into the Devil Dao and becoming a Devil Cultivator in order to avenge her … That was the only way he would have a chance to avenge her.
However, his wife seemed to have guessed his thoughts. Before she committed suicide, she left him a message that he must not fall into the Devil Dao. Otherwise, she would not be able to die in peace.
His wife had died such a horrible death. No matter how much Fang Hui hated her and wanted to avenge her, he could not bear to go against her last words.
"I've heard about that as well."
