As soon as he finished speaking, the Warrior's Department disciples in the battle circle exploded like a bomb. Hundreds of people were immediately squeezed out of the battle circle!
Elder Tong, who was in the air, saw the situation and waved his hand in the air, pulling all the disciples who were squeezed out far away.
Among the disciples who were pushed out, there was no lack of true powerhouses.
However, even if Chen Qiang was the referee, he would not treat those people as disciples with potential.
That was because to judge whether a person had potential, cultivation was only one aspect. One also had to consider their intelligence.
Among the disciples who were squeezed out, there were a few who had reached the intermediate warlord level. However, they were arrogant enough to stand at the edge and became the first victims.
Although the Sky Pillar Academy's method of selecting disciples was simple and crude, it also eliminated some people with frivolous thoughts.
Since the safety of the participating disciples was guaranteed, the Warrior's Department disciples in the battle circle were all free to fight.
After all, even if they were defeated, they still had the rare opportunity to visit the Holy Sanctum!
For a moment, the battle between the Warrior's Department disciples was even more intense than the battle between the Blood Puppet Division disciples. Smoke and dust filled the arena. Only those with extremely strong Mentality could accurately distinguish the losers.
Elder Tong, who was in the air, danced with spiritual power in his hands and did not stop.
In just half an hour, almost thirty thousand people were eliminated from the battle circle. The space in the battle circle was finally a little more relaxed.
It was only then that the Warrior's Department disciples in the battle circle were able to display their true abilities. Elder Tong's speed of throwing people out also decreased.
Since there was no barrier hindering them, Chen Qiang's powerful Mentality never left the figures of Zhang Yuan and the other ten people.
Zhang Yuan, Nie Feng, and Guo Liang maintained a finger-thick layer of space around their bodies. This way, they had almost completely given up on defense. Instead, each of them guarded two to three members, and from time to time, they would eliminate a few fellows who approached them.
In fact, even without the protection of the three of them, Vagabond and the others did not have to worry about being eliminated.
However, in order to ensure that Chen Qiang's plan could be carried out and that the Battle Monarch ranked Elder Tong in the sky wouldn't discover their true cultivation, Vagabond and the others were happy and relaxed.
Half a day later, the number of people in the battle circle became even fewer. The original number of people left finally stabilized at seventy-two people.
"Stop!"
Elder Tong shouted. Only then did the Warrior's Department disciples in the battle circle stop. They looked up at Elder Tong excitedly.
"Haha, congratulations to all of you. From today onwards, all of you are true third-grade disciples of the Sky Pillar Academy's Warrior's Department.
Just like the Blood Puppet Division's disciples, you have five days of free time. You can do whatever you want in the Sky Pillar Outer City.
Five days later, bring your tokens and report here. "
"Oh —!" When the victorious Warrior's Department disciples heard the news, they all threw their wooden weapons into the air and cheered.
As for the eliminated Warrior's Department disciples, although some of them were sighing, most of them had smiles on their faces and looked at Elder Tong eagerly.
"As for all of you —" Elder Tong finally turned his head and looked at the defeated disciples below. "I've said it before. Even if you fail, the Sky Pillar Academy will not let you go home disappointed.
When the other two divisions' selections are over, all the defeated disciples of the three divisions will follow the Holy Temple's emissary to visit the Holy Temple. After that, you can return to your hometowns.
Now, all of you wait on the left side. "
After Elder Tong finished speaking, the nearly forty thousand defeated disciples of the Warrior's Department stood on the left side of the square and waited for the Pill and Weapon Divisions' selections.
The Pill Division's selections were hosted by an old man in a white robe.
"I'm Yun Ao, Elder of the Pill Division of the Sky Pillar Academy."
During the previous selections, Yun Ao did not speak. He did not even deliberately watch. He only communicated with a gray-haired old man beside him from time to time.
The Pill and Weapon Divisions were different from the Warrior's Department and the Blood Puppet Division. The disciples of the Pill and Weapon Divisions rarely pursued powerful cultivation. They devoted themselves to pill and weapon refinement, so they had always been arrogant.
Yun Ao glanced at the nearly ten thousand Pill Division disciples below and went straight to the point expressionlessly.
"The Sky Pillar Academy's Pill Division's disciple selections not only focus on alchemy aptitude, but also on spiritual power cultivation. Therefore, the rules of our selections are very simple.
After entering the barrier that I've set up, all disciples, regardless of rank, as long as they can refine a complete pill, will be considered an official disciple of the academy!
"However!
You only have one chance. If you fail, you won't have another chance! "
After he finished speaking, the Sky Pillar Academy's disciples began to set up nearly ten thousand alchemy cauldrons in a predetermined circle.
As for the herbs needed to refine the pills, each person was responsible for it.
Before this, some of the disciples participating in the Pill Division's selections were rather nervous.
However, they did not expect the Sky Pillar Academy's Pill Division's selection rules to be so lax!
This was especially so for fringe candidates like Mei Xin, who were extremely excited.
"Sister Yan Xue, it looks like we'll be entering the Sky Pillar Academy together this time!"
It was obvious that Mei Xin was full of confidence.
Elder Yun Ao had made it very clear just now.
This time, the Pill Division would not be divided into ranks. As long as they could refine the pills successfully, it would be fine.
At her level, the success rate of refining a third-grade pill was not high. However, she was still very confident in refining a first-grade or second-grade pill.
Yan Xue smiled and nodded.
However, she immediately sent a voice transmission to Chen Qiang and asked, "Why is the Sky Pillar Academy's Pill Division's selection so lax?
Do they need a large number of alchemists? "
Chen Qiang shook his head and said, "You're thinking too simply! With nearly ten thousand people inside a sealed enchantment, wanting to successfully refine a pill, even the simplest first grade pill would be very difficult!
The main reason is that there are too many factors interfering with the process. Someone's cauldron exploding, someone's voice disrupting, and someone's spiritual power disrupting others.
Under such circumstances, those who can successfully refine pills are probably people with extremely strong spiritual power!
If Mei Xin wants to pass this selection, her spiritual power might not be enough! "
"Then what should we do?" Yan Xue glanced at the confident Mei Xin and asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm here! As long as she's not too far away, I'll pay extra attention to her. "
Only then did Yan Xue relax slightly.
The entire square was under Chen Qiang's spiritual power scan, let alone the barrier set up by Yun Ao.
Within such a range, if Chen Qiang wanted to take care of Mei Xin, it should not be a big problem.
However, Chen Qiang soon felt that the problem was a little complicated.
