"What? How could this be? How are we going to pass the test? "
"In the past, you could pass the test as long as you had a certain amount of points. Why is it so strict this time?"
"In the past, at least a quarter of the people passed the test. But this time, it's not even a tenth. How could this be?"
…
All the children were in an uproar. To them, this was their last chance. If they couldn't join the Lin family, then they would only end up on the streets. At that time, there would be no good ending. They wouldn't even know how they died.
What's more, the path of cultivation wasn't just about hard work. It also required a lot of cultivation resources, which they couldn't obtain. Apart from joining a big family, there was no other way.
Qin Lang and Bu Lianshi's faces also changed. The change in the rules this time caught them off guard. They thought that after increasing their strength, they would definitely pass the test. But now, it seemed that it wasn't the case at all.
"It's over, it's over, it's over … I'm the strongest in our group, but I'm only at Level 3 Qi Refining Stage. There's basically no hope for us to pass the new rules!" Qin Lang's face was full of tears.
Bu Lianshi's face was also nervous. If they couldn't pass the test, the boys might be better off, but the girls would be miserable. Being sold as maids was already a good thing. There was even the possibility of being sold to a brothel.
Although he knew that it was impossible to improve by much, Qin Lang still looked at Hayashikawa with a hopeful face and asked, "Hayashikawa, you've been working hard on your cultivation recently. What level have you reached?"
"Level 1 Qi Refining Stage!" Hayashikawa said without a change in his expression, mercilessly crushing Qin Lang and Bu Lianshi's last hope.
"I guess we don't have any hope this time. But Bu Lianshi and I still have a chance. Hayashikawa, you might …" Qin Lang looked at Hayashikawa with an apologetic face. Just a moment ago, he patted his chest and promised to help them pass the test. In the blink of an eye, he couldn't even protect himself. Qin Lang felt very sorry for Hayashikawa.
Looking at the apologetic faces of the two, Hayashikawa felt relieved. At least these two really wanted to help him and treat him as a partner.
"It's alright, just try your best!" Hayashikawa said with a smile. At the same time, he thought to himself, Since the two of you can't bring me through, then let me bring you through!
Just as everyone was talking about their own safety, the supervisor standing above spoke again, "Everyone has noticed that the passing rate of this assessment has decreased. However, in addition to this method of passing the assessment, we have added another method of passing the assessment."
"There is a magma lake in the center of Hunting Ground No. 44. In the underground magma cave, there grows a kind of herb called Crimson Flame Red Lotus. If someone can collect more than three Crimson Flame Red Lotuses, they can pass the test directly. Moreover, the more they collect, the more resources they will get after passing the test!"
Boom!
Hearing this, everyone instantly became excited. The sound of discussion was even louder than before. It seemed that the words "more resources" had stimulated a lot of people's nerves. Even Qin Lang's face turned for the better in an instant, as if he had been revived with full health!
"Hahaha, I have decided. When the time comes, I will bring you to collect the Crimson Flame Red Lotuses. You will definitely pass the test!" Qin Lang said excitedly. He shook the confused Bu Lian Shi and Hayashikawa, who had a bitter smile on his face.
"What the hell was that half-dead look on your face just now?" Hayashikawa couldn't help but ridicule in his heart.
Although these little brats were all excited, Hayashikawa, who was actually in his twenties, was not optimistic about the task of collecting the Crimson Flame Red Lotuses. His intuition told him that this task would be more difficult than hunting the spirit beasts.
"In addition, I have to tell you a piece of news. Five days after the start of the assessment, those who have passed the assessment before, as long as their strength has not reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, will enter the assessment site to collect the Crimson Flame Red Lotuses. Moreover, this assessment no longer forbids killing! How many of you can come out alive will depend on your own luck! "
"The assessment will start at noon today. At that time, the 44th hunting ground's protective array will be activated. You can choose any direction to enter. Remember, the underground magma lake is in the center of the hunting ground, and the hunting ground is a circular field with a radius of fifty miles. Therefore, no matter which direction you enter, the distance to the center will be fifty miles. This will not change!"
The words of the supervisor immediately brought the originally excited crowd back to their original state. Qin Lang, who was incomparably excited a moment ago, instantly became listless.
Hayashikawa did not pay attention to the astonished expressions of the surrounding orphans. He looked at the supervisor who had finished announcing the task and walked to the side. His eyes slightly narrowed. He felt that this assessment which had changed the rules revealed a hint of strangeness.
Without hesitation, Hayashikawa raised both of his hands and quietly formed a seal in front of his chest.
"Supercilious Eyes!"
The purple Chakra immediately rushed to his eyes, and the meridians around his eyes bulged. Hayashikawa directly activated the Supercilious Eyes and looked at the supervisor who had walked away.
They were chatting casually. Hayashikawa's Supercilious Eyes almost immediately saw the contempt and disdain in their eyes. And the lip-reading that he had studied in college also came in handy at this moment. Their conversation was unreservedly read by Hayashikawa.
"Tsk, these orphans, they think that our Lin Family really needs them. So what if they pass the assessment? They are still our Lin Family's dogs! "
"You can't say it like that. Even if they are dogs, they would still fight to be one. As long as they can be a good dog, isn't that good? Hahaha! "
"That's true. Since they are dogs, they should have the awareness to be good dogs. But how many people do you think will go and collect the Scarlet Flame Red Lotus?"
"There is no danger in collecting the Scarlet Flame Red Lotus. It was specially planted there by the Lin Family. This time, we deliberately lowered the passing rate to let them collect the Scarlet Flame Red Lotus. Yes, there should be a lot of people who will take the bait!"
"Hmph, that's right. Things like the Scarlet Flame Red Lotus will devour a small amount of people's Spiritual Roots if they touch it directly. Although it is very small, none of the Lin Family's disciples are willing to risk their Spiritual Roots. So they can only let these useless dogs collect it."
"It is said that if one covers the surface of their skin with spiritual power, then this situation will not happen when they collect the Scarlet Flame Red Lotus."
"You are right, but this will lower the quality of the Scarlet Flame Red Lotus. Our family is not that stupid! Moreover, only those in the Foundation Establishment Stage can release their spiritual power outside the body. This is the reason why the family allows all those who have not reached the Foundation Establishment Stage to enter that field for the assessment! "
"Hehe, the family's methods are indeed extraordinary! Anyway, the family has raised these dogs for so long. It is not bad to use them! "
The two of them giggled as they slowly walked away. Lin Chuan's face grew colder and colder. It was so gloomy that water could be wrung out of it. Looking at the three hundred children around him, he felt a wave of sorrow for no reason.
