The Big Dipper Mountain was shaped like the Big Dipper, with seven main peaks: Alkaid, Mizar, Alioth, Megrez, Phecda, Merak, and Dubhe. Dou Diao was located in a valley. Megrez, Phecda, Merak, and Dubhe, these four main peaks faced each other from the four corners. The North Style Academy's famous Seven Star Tower was located on the mountain road guarded by these four peaks. However, the gate of the Big Dipper Mountain, which is also the gate of the North Style Academy, is far below the Alkaid Peak.
The rookies gathered here, and after a review of the recommendations, twenty-eight people would be brought to the trial. At this moment, at the peak of Alkaid Peak, a man and a woman stood at the side of the mountain. They had been paying attention to all the rookies in the trial since the first group.
The two of them were wearing the same clothes. Their dark purple cloaks were as deep as the night sky, and the Big Dipper was embroidered on their backs. However, if one looked closely, they would discover that the Big Dipper was the same, but the ones that were unusually eye-catching and bright were different. On the back of the woman on the left, the Alkaid of the Seven Stars was the most eye-catching; on the back of the man on the right, the third star on the handle of the Seven Star Ladle, the Alioth Star, was the most eye-catching.
Xiuzhe with the slightest bit of knowledge would be able to guess the identities of these two people when they saw their clothing: Yao Guang Ruan Qingzhu and Alioth Li Yaotian of the Seven Big Dipper academicians.
The Seven Big Dipper Academicians usually guarded the seven peaks of the Big Dipper Mountain. The Alkaid Peak was Ruan Qingzhu's territory. It was the mountain gate of the North Style Academy. At the same time, it was also a training ground for the newcomers. However, the person in charge of the trial newcomers was changed every year by the seven academicians. This time, it was Alioth Peak's Li Yaotian's turn, so he naturally had to run over to Alkaid Peak. As for Ruan Qingzhu, whether she would join in the fun or not would depend on her mood. And today, she seemed to be in a good mood.
"Average, this group is also very average." Ruan Qingzhu glanced at Lu Ping's group in the Cloudcrest Belt and quickly came to a conclusion.
Li Yaotian, who was beside her, smiled bitterly and shook his head. "This is already the seventeenth 'average' that you've mentioned. There are obviously some who are not bad. You can't always use Lin Tianbiao as the standard."
Behind the two of them, there were a few students following behind them. They were accompanying their respective teachers to watch the newcomers test the waters. In the North Style Academy, being able to become a student of one of the Seven Academicians meant that one's status was quite extraordinary. There were less than ten people behind each of them, and they kept a distance from the two academicians. There was no time for the two of them to ask questions. No one spoke. But when they heard Li Yaotian mention Lin Tianbiao's name, they subconsciously turned their heads and looked at an inconspicuous corner in the distance, where a young man was quietly watching the Rookie Trial.
This was a young man that no one could find any fault with. Regardless of appearance, clothing, temperament, identity, or cultivation. Or any other. He was the second son of the Green Peak Empire's Lin Family. He had awakened the Rush, Sound, and Spirit Essences. This allowed him to connect all three essences at the age of nineteen. This level was extremely rare even in the four great academies.
However, he was also terribly humble. He had heard Ruan Qingzhu and Li Yaotian's conversation just now. He immediately looked over and revealed a modest and amiable smile, nodding slightly to express his gratitude — even though Ruan Qingzhu and Li Yaotian were only talking and didn't look at him.
Such perfection simply made people not even have the strength to be envious. What was worse was that he was only a newcomer, a newcomer who had just passed the trial and arrived at the Alkaid Peak.
And he had only used a minute to pass the trial. As soon as he stepped on the mountain path, he felt that the mountain path was affected by the power of the soul. After that, he quickly walked out from the interference of the custom-made ability "Vanishing End" that Li Yaotian had spent three days to set up, and calmly arrived at the peak.
Even though the custom-made ability for the newcomers wouldn't be too strong, and they had to leave an opening that could be broken, but it was broken in just a minute. This really hurt Li Yaotian's pride, but it made Ruan Qingzhu extremely excited. Her expectations for the Rookie Trial had increased because of this. She felt that the seventeen teams of four hundred and seventy-six people were only "very ordinary". Li Yaotian couldn't say anything more.
Compared to Lin Tianbiao, not to mention these newcomers, even many people in the North Style Academy would be ordinary.
"If there are more outstanding newcomers, then wake me up!" Wake me up again! "Ruan Qingzhu's appetite was not satisfied, and she did not intend to continue watching.
Ruan Qingzhu turned around and left. Her student followed closely behind. Lin Tianbiao bowed in her direction to send her off. Ruan Qingzhu nodded. She didn't say anything else. She admired this young man from the bottom of her heart. However, the aptitude of the three awakened souls of Rush, Cry, and Essence was not very compatible with Ruan Qingzhu's expertise. He wasn't suitable to be her disciple. This made her feel a little regretful.
Ruan Qingzhu left. But Li Yaotian, who was in charge of this trial, couldn't be so casual. Although he was the same as Ruan Qingzhu. Because of Lin Tianbiao's high expectations, he felt that the performance of the newcomers was dull.
Feng Liuyun's team only knew that this mountain path was a trial after Feng Liuyun's reminder. Just their sluggishness was much inferior to the other teams. Who knew when they would be able to see that the mountain path was custom-made.
However, the trial didn't require the newcomers to be able to break the custom-made ability. It was to create such an environment to observe the newcomers' qualities. Being able to detect the custom-made ability and even break the custom-made ability would definitely be highly evaluated. However, Lin Tianbiao being able to detect and break the custom-made ability within a minute was really unexpected. Although Li Yaotian was a little embarrassed, he was more happy. The academy would never have too many talented newcomers.
As for the team in front of him …
After knowing that the mountain path was a trial, the team was already in disarray. Some of them ran at full speed, some continued to blindly follow Feng Liuyun, and some began to carefully allocate their stamina …
There were all sorts of responses, but there wasn't any right or wrong. The only thing that mattered was the superiority of their responses: the superiority of their realm, the superiority of their superpowers, the superiority of their Soul Power control, as well as their state of mind, emotions, etc. Being able to detect and break the custom-made ability would definitely be highly evaluated, but not being able to do so did not mean that they would lose points in the evaluation. After all, breaking the custom-made ability required a corresponding realm and ability. Some people weren't good at it, so it was understandable that they couldn't do it. The trial that Li Yaotian arranged was one that focused on the process rather than the outcome. There was no standard method or answer.
Li Yaotian already had a general impression of Feng Liuyun's team's performance, but he still had one doubt.
"Why are there two people missing from this team?" Li Yaotian asked.
"Two of them fell behind." A student behind him immediately answered. They didn't follow Li Yaotian to the top of the mountain to put on a show. They were Li Yaotian's helpers in the trial.
"Fell behind …" Falling behind wasn't a big deal. Their Soul Power was weaker, and they didn't have any other superpowers to help them. It was natural for them to be in such a sorry state in this endless mountain path.
"Yan Zhen, take note!" Li Yaotian didn't want to look anymore. There were too many newcomers waiting for him to look at. His gaze had already shifted to another group of newcomers.
"Yes." Behind Li Yaotian, the person who had answered his question answered.
