One had to know that these people either had a high-grade bloodline or a rare spiritual physique. That was the only way they could stand out among the hundreds of thousands of people and become an outer disciple of the Mighty God Sect.
However, Lin Buzheng's physique was mediocre, and there was no record of his name on the stone tablet. Yet, he was still able to become an outer disciple of the Mighty God Sect and obtain the same status and identity as them.
Especially in the next moment, when an insider informed the crowd that the Xuan Nation was merely a border region of the martial arts continent and an extremely remote small nation, and that the Lin Clan wasn't a Saint or Great Emperor Clan, most of the people present looked at Lin Buzheng with disdain.
"Xiao Hui is right."
"This stone tablet really can't detect the bloodline inheritance in my body!"
Lin Buzheng thought to himself. He was completely unaware of the crowd's attitude towards him. He did not care at all.
It turned out that before Lin Buzheng had left his name on the stone tablet, Xiao Hui had already informed Lin Buzheng that the stone tablet could not display the information of his bloodline inheritance.
The reason for this was not because the stone tablet's grade was not high enough. In fact, this stone tablet was similar to the Mighty God Sect's mountain gate. Both originated from the ancient Mighty God Sect, and possessed unfathomable power.
The reason was that the twin bloodlines were too rare. The two bloodlines were like a pair of Yin and Yang, perfectly concealing a cultivator's bloodline, soul, and True Qi, causing the aura of a cultivator with twin bloodlines to resemble an ordinary cultivator. The stone tablet lacked the corresponding Law Fragments to distinguish the two, and could only classify them as the Mortal Physique.
Weng!
Lin Buzheng's name appeared on the stone tablet, emitting a blinding golden light. It was even more dazzling than the light emitted by Chu Fantian's name.
The stone tablet rumbled, and a mysterious force circulated above it, gathering towards Lin Buzheng's name. It was as if something shocking was about to happen.
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that this Mortal Physique is going to create another miracle?"
When the crowd saw this, their eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
Not long ago, Lin Buzheng had knocked Chu Fantian unconscious with a broken cauldron during his mountaineering training. Now, when he was writing his name on the stone tablet, he had triggered a huge change.
Everyone present here were supreme geniuses of the Martial Dao. Their thoughts were lively, and they possessed extraordinary intelligence. After pondering for a moment, they instantly felt that Lin Buzheng was extraordinary, and he was absolutely not as simple as he seemed on the surface.
"Freeze!"
However, at this moment, Elder Lei let out a soft shout and pointed with his finger. The various mysterious phenomena on the stone tablet immediately disappeared. Lin Buzheng's name was also fixed at the bottom of the hundred thousand outer sect disciples' names.
Lin Buzheng's face darkened.
Not long ago, because he attacked Chu Fantian during the exam and knocked the latter unconscious, Elder Lei decided that he would be ranked last in the Outer Sanctum Examination. Now, retribution had finally come.
At this moment, the crowd looked at Lin Buzheng with either gloating or pitying gazes.
As for Chu Fantian, when the mysterious phenomena appeared on Lin Buzheng's name, he had a bad premonition for some reason. He had a feeling that he would once again fall into Lin Buzheng's hands.
But now, with Elder Lei's intervention, this inexplicable sense of danger disappeared. Lin Buzheng's name was firmly at the bottom of the list. Chu Fantian was in a good mood, and he immediately looked at Lin Buzheng with an undisguised sneer.
"Chu Fantian, in the Divine Might Sect's mountain trial, your talent ranked first, you passed the Heart Inquisition Test, and you even ranked first on the outer sect stone tablet. According to the rules of the Outer Sanctum Examination, you should have been rewarded with an Earth-Rank Origin Treasure and ten thousand outer sect points. However, because you slandered the outer sect Elder, these rewards are gone!"
But in the next moment, Elder Lei's cold words made Chu Fantian feel as if he had been slapped in the face. The smile on his face disappeared, and he looked at Elder Lei with extreme dissatisfaction.
He said in a low voice, "What Origin Treasure? Outer sect points? I don't care!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Elder Lei glared at him and he immediately shut his mouth, not daring to continue.
"The ranking on the stone door is your ranking in the Outer Sanctum. The higher your ranking is, the more rewards and preferential treatment the Sect will give you. The lower your ranking is, the lesser your rewards will be. If you are ranked at the bottom, the disciples who are ranked at the bottom will be expelled from the Outer Sanctum every month to make room for the new disciples."
As Elder Lei spoke, he glanced at Lin Buzheng, intentionally or unintentionally. The latter's face darkened even further.
Lin Buzheng was ranked first from the bottom on the stone tablet. This undoubtedly meant that in the following month, if he did not work hard to raise his ranking, he would undoubtedly be expelled from the Divine Might Sect when the new outer sect disciples arrived.
"Remember, the Divine Might Sect's outer sect may seem grand and lively, but it is actually the only way to the inner sect. In the following days, not only do you need to cultivate hard to avoid falling to the bottom of the list and being expelled, you also need to look forward and strive to pass the nine outer sect tests as soon as possible to be promoted to the inner sect!"
As Elder Lei had said, the Heart Inquisition Test and the Mountain Climbing Test were just the most basic screening tests. As long as one had a certain level of martial arts talent and strength, they could pass.
However, the Outer Sect's Nine Great Trials were different. The Nine Great Trials involved profound and unfathomable fields of martial arts, and each was different. No matter how talented a martial artist was in martial arts, no matter how strong he was, it was difficult for him to be strong in all aspects.
Some outer sect disciples could pass most of the tests, but they would often be stumped by one or a few tests. They would waste years or even decades before they could barely pass. Some outer sect disciples would fail again and again. Even if they did not fall to the bottom of the list, they would have no choice but to leave and give up.
Outer sect disciples had to pass all nine tests within a certain period of time before they could be promoted to the inner sect.
"The nine outer sect tests each have their own emphasis and difficulty. It is impossible to pass all of them in a short period of time. Only by being down-to-earth and diligent in your cultivation will you be able to pass them smoothly."
"Of course, there are exceptions to everything. You don't have to pass the nine tests to become an inner sect disciple. There are many opportunities in the outer sect that will allow you to be exempted from the tests."
"In addition, if your cultivation reaches the Dao realm during your cultivation, you will be exempted from the tests and automatically promoted to the inner sect."
