Hao Ren took off his jacket and put on the robe.
When he went to the Nine Dragon Palace last time, Hao Ren wore a Daoist robe with embroidery. It was the first time he had worn ancient clothing.
The "candidate robe" of the Dragon God Shrine was simpler than the Daoist robe prepared by the East Ocean Dragon Clan. Except for the two small silver dragons on the shoulders, there were no other decorations on the robe, and the material was ordinary.
Hao Ren put on the robe, and the bottom of the robe was just enough to cover Hao Ren's feet.
The area of the room was only half a square meter. The long table was placed against the outside, and there was a gap between the table and the wall, which was just big enough for one person to pass through.
Hao Ren sat on the chair inside and put his hands on the table. There was almost no space for him to move.
The dragon cultivators didn't come to the Dragon God Shrine to enjoy life. Moreover, tens of thousands of dragon cultivators came to the Dragon God Shrine to participate in the general exams each year. Due to the limited space around the Dragon God Shrine, the rooms used for the exams were all of the same size, which was normal.
Hao Ren sat in the room numbered 'Ren Yin 246', feeling bored.
There were definitely two cultivators in the rooms on the left and right sides of the walls.
All the cultivators were anxiously waiting for the written exam to begin.
In the small alley outside, some cultivators were casually strolling around their residences, using this method to relieve their anxiety.
Hao Ren also felt a bit bored sitting in the room. He hung his temporary identity token on his waist and left the depressing room to have a look outside.
Many young cultivators had gathered in the small alley outside. Some were walking back and forth, and some were talking in low voices.
Hao Ren walked over slowly, and they all looked at Hao Ren in awe.
Some cultivators who were talking immediately shut their mouths and moved to the side.
It seemed like Hao Ren's status was much higher than theirs.
Hao Ren looked down at himself and then at them. The only difference was that his brown robe had two small silver dragons embroidered on the shoulders, while their robes were all brown.
"It's an assisting inspector …"
"He must be very powerful …"
"Be careful. Don't let him hear you."
Small sounds rang out in the surroundings.
Hao Ren immediately understood that not everyone could wear the robe with two silver dragons embroidered on it. It was specially prepared for assisting inspectors!
All the candidates were the same in the Dragon God Shrine, no matter which dragon palace they came from, no matter their status in the dragon palace, and no matter how high their cultivation techniques were.
However, there was only one exception, and that was the assisting inspector!
In the territory and system of the Dragon God Shrine, assisting inspectors had a higher status than other dragon cultivators!
Although the exam was the same, they were usually the most promising cultivators to become official inspectors!
It was a trivial matter for ordinary dragon cultivators to have conflicts during the examination. However, if an ordinary dragon cultivator dared to offend an assisting inspector outside the arena, he or she would be disqualified!
This was the privilege granted to assisting inspectors by the Dragon God Shrine!
Therefore, when they saw Hao Ren, the assisting inspector, walking over, they became cautious, afraid that they would offend Hao Ren.
"I didn't expect to see you here," an abrupt voice sounded.
Hao Ren turned around and saw a familiar face walking out from a side alley. It was Wang Xi.
He was the earth-elemental dragon Wang Xi who had battled with Hao Ren in the valley outside of Elder Sun's dojo.
Hao Ren looked at him and felt that Wang Xi's realm was higher than before. On Wang Xi's waist hung an identity token: Ren Mao 297.
"Who is this guy?"
"How dare he talk to an assisting inspector like this? Isn't he afraid of losing his exam qualification …"
"I know him. He's Wang Xi from the Wuyi Mountain, an earth-elemental dragon. I heard that he has reached Xun-level. The branch of the Wuyi Mountain Dragon Clan has been training him for the past few decades. "
"Xun-level? That's great. It's been a long time since Qian-level and Kun-level cultivators appeared …"
"Oh, it's him. I heard that he's one of the favorites to become an official inspector this time."
The surrounding cultivators began to talk among themselves.
Hao Ren looked at Wang Xi who was walking toward him slowly. He thought for a bit and said, "I didn't expect to see you here either."
"Assisting inspector," Wang Xi looked at Hao Ren and said these five words with slight disdain.
The atmosphere in the alley became tense all of a sudden.
Some of the more timid ones gradually retreated. They were afraid that this storm would implicate them and cause them to be disqualified from the examination.
"What? Do you have a problem with that?" Hao Ren looked at him with hostility.
"I'll beat you on the day of the combat exams," Wang Xi stared at Hao Ren and said proudly.
Others were afraid of Hao Ren, but he wasn't!
He had battled with Hao Ren before and knew that Hao Ren was nothing special! If it weren't for the support of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, Hao Ren wouldn't have become an assisting inspector!
Especially since he had just broken through to Xun-level, his strength and confidence had increased tremendously!
Although Xun-level couldn't be compared with Qian-level and Kun-level cultivators, it was still considered a master. If he could obtain mystic crystals, he would be able to step into Qian-level and Kun-level soon!
Wang Xi didn't care about a mere assisting inspector! What Wang Xi wanted was to become an official inspector and surpass all the assisting inspectors!
Seeing Wang Xi's provocative look, Hao Ren couldn't help but be angry even though he had a good temperament.
Dang … Dang … Dang …
A loud bell sound came from the black Dragon God Shrine in the center.
The platform that supported the Dragon God Shrine emitted a dark red light.
The array formation of the Dragon God Shrine was sealed again!
It was 11 PM, and the array formation was reactivated. The ordinary cultivators who hadn't arrived at the Dragon God Shrine could no longer enter the Dragon God Shrine, and the ordinary cultivators on the platform could no longer fly!
That meant that the dragon cultivators who were late were disqualified from the exams!
Hua, hua, hua …
The cultivators who were wandering in the surrounding alleys hurriedly returned to their residences.
The written exam would officially begin in two hours. Starting from 11 PM, the inspectors who were in charge of monitoring the exam area would all move out. Therefore, it was best for the cultivators to return to their rooms and wait for 11 PM.
"Humph!" Wang Xi looked at Hao Ren in disdain and walked to his room.
"Xun-level …" Hao Ren looked at Wang Xi's back and thought for a bit. Then, he unclenched his fist and walked to Ren Yin 246.
