The two people from the Judgement Army brought Xia Pingan and the other 12 people who had passed the first four levels to another place.
This place was in a bamboo forest in the military camp. The environment was quite tranquil. A seven-storey pagoda with a white outer wall and light blue glazed tiles stood in front of them.
The glazed pagoda was very beautiful, delicate and solemn.
The two people of the Judgement Army directly led Xia Pingan and the other 8 people into the beautiful pagoda.
In the middle of the hall on the first floor of the pagoda, there was a huge black crystal ball with a diameter of more than two meters. The black crystal ball was filled with rolling light, and there were constantly colorful lights flickering in and out of the crystal ball. It was very mysterious.
An old man in a white robe and a strange tall white hat was meditating beside the huge black crystal ball with his eyes closed. Not until Xia Pingan and the other 8 people entered the pagoda did the old man open his eyes and stand up. He then glanced at Xia Pingan and the other 8 people with a pair of tranquil eyes.
"Are there only 12 people today?" the old man asked.
"Yes, please take another look!" The two people of the Judgement Army who led Xia Pingan and the other 8 people here were very polite to the old man. They even used honorifics when speaking to him.
"Hmm, come on then!" The old man lazily walked to the front of the black crystal ball and put his hand on it. After that, he threw a glance at this side.
"You can all go over there. Just put one hand on the crystal ball!"
Hearing this, Xia Pingan and the other 8 people walked over there and put one hand on the crystal ball.
Xia Pingan had heard Elder Jing mention the last level of the Judgement Army. Elder Jing said that the last level to join the Judgement Army was to drip blood and ask one's heart.
The strange crystal ball in front of him was a mystical item called the Soul Crystal. The old man in white was the Chosen Priest of the Dark War Religion. In the Dark War Religion, Chosen Priests were people who could use their souls to communicate with the Dark War God. They were the most devout believers of the Dark War God. They were also called Soul Ferrymen.
The moment Xia Pingan put his hand on the huge crystal ball, the huge crystal ball had produced a strange suction force. Xia Pingan's hand seemed to be sucked by a suction cup, making him unable to move. At the same time, the light mist inside the huge black crystal ball rolled and turned into 12 sharp spikes, extending out from the inside of the crystal ball.
Xia Pingan only felt a slight pain in his palm when the spikes in the huge crystal ball pierced a small hole. A drop of blood was then sucked into the huge crystal ball.
Not only Xia Pingan but also the other people's palms were pierced through.
"Our God walks in the darkness, and there is light in the darkness. Our God raises his saber and sword, and peace and tranquility descend upon the world!" The chosen priest in white robe murmured in a low, dreamy voice. At the same time, a cloud of dark red mist surged out of the black crystal ball, wrapping up Xia Pingan and the others.
Xia Pingan tried his best to stay awake. However, as soon as he was wrapped up by the black mist, he felt like he was beginning to integrate with the realm bead. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and he felt like falling asleep.
In a daze, Xia Pingan's ears seemed to hear a voice that seemed to come from the horizon.
The voice directly appeared in Xia Pingan's mind.
"What's your name?"
"Where do you come from?"
"Which God do you believe in?"
"Were you instructed to join the Judgement Army?"
"Do you want to harm the Shang Dynasty and the Dark War God Cult?"
...
Xia Pingan did not know what happened next. In a daze, he fell asleep. His body and mind relaxed, and he wandered in a sweet dream.
After an unknown period of time, Xia Pingan woke up.
When Xia Pingan woke up, he saw that the dark red mist that had wrapped everyone had dissipated.
Everyone's hands were still pressed on the huge crystal ball.
Among the 12 people, a dark red shadow of the Thorny Divine Throne appeared above the heads of four people. The other eight people, including himself, had nothing above their heads. Qu Youqian was also not selected.
The female summoner who had summoned the snake also had such a shadow above her head. The other three male summoners also had such a shadow.
The four people who had been selected all had excited expressions on their faces, while the others had bitter and helpless expressions on their faces.
Four people were selected out of almost four hundred people. It was really one out of a hundred.
Xia Pingan had already vaguely guessed the result. He felt a little stifled in his heart and was also a little disappointed. The contrast was too great. He came here full of confidence and performed outstandingly in the first four rounds. He didn't expect to be eliminated in the last round.
This feeling was like a person who wanted to enter the Summer Palace Vocational Technical College with full confidence before the college entrance examination, only to find out that he had failed.
Motherf * cker, how did the final stage, Blood Drop Questioning the Heart, select the candidates? Why was he eliminated?
Xia Pingan was extremely depressed!
"Only four people were selected to join the Judgement Army this time. Those with the Thorny Divine Throne shadow above their heads stay. The others follow me!" the arrogant-looking young man in his twenties said to Xia Pingan and the others.
Xia Pingan and the others had no choice but to leave with the young man.
However, just as Xia Pingan walked to the exit of the pagoda, a voice suddenly sounded in Xia Pingan's mind.
"Young man, congratulations on being selected to join the Dark Shadow Squad of the Judgement Army. The Dark Shadow Squad is the most secretive existence in the Judgement Army. The identity of those who join is kept secret. Only the top elite summoners in the Judgement Army are eligible to join. Among the 12 people today, you are the only one who has been selected to join the Dark Shadow Squad. Don't leave Shang Jing City for the next few days. Find time to go to the Fearless House in Hundred Spirits Alley.
Go to Hundred Spirits Alley to find someone to tell you. "This voice was the voice of the Chosen Priest. Xia Pingan was shocked. He did not turn back. He only glanced behind him with his Remote Vision ability and saw that the old man was looking at his back with a deep gaze.
When Xia Pingan looked back with his Remote Vision ability, the Chosen Priest revealed an imperceptible smile. He seemed to have felt Xia Pingan's "gaze." The Chosen Priest nodded slightly as if he was "praising" Xia Pingan for not rashly turning back.
The faces of the other seven people who left with Xia Pingan were still the same as usual. They were all a little disappointed and helpless.
A few minutes later, Xia Pingan and the other seven people were sent out from the side door of the Judgement Army's camp.
From morning till now, it was already noon.
"Sigh, I didn't expect that we couldn't pass the last round. It's too difficult for the Judgement Army to recruit people …" Qu Youqian shook his head and sighed as he walked out of the camp. He looked at Xia Pingan and asked, "Brother Xia, what are your plans?"
