Without actual combat, what other advantages did Yi Yun have?
Bloodline? Perceptivity?
Yi Yun's bloodline was too weak. This was a fact that everyone knew. Although Yi Yun had absorbed an Ancient Fey bone, he was still incomparable to the other Fey elites.
As for perceptivity, Yi Yun did not seem to have much of an advantage.
When Song Wuchen set the rules, many members of the Luo clan were displeased. Elder Shi and Elder Duanmu also felt uncomfortable. The rules were too disadvantageous to Yi Yun.
Yi Yun had a calm expression as he remained silent. Chi Zhuiyun glanced at Yi Yun. Yi Yun was an opponent he respected. Although he wanted to defeat Yi Yun, he did not want to do it in such an unfair manner.
"Then how does Young master Wuchen plan on doing it? There are too many examinees in Brocade Spring Court now. "
The Oracle Fey Kingdom king asked. There was no threshold for the assessment. There were too many rabble that came to Brocade Spring Court, so it would be too troublesome to test them one by one.
Song Wuchen gave a faint smile, as though everything was under his control.
"Simple. The first round will eliminate more than 99% of the examinees! It is too naive for someone to try to fish in troubled waters. "
As Song Wuchen spoke, his body floated in midair. With a swipe of his interspatial ring, a black and white bead flew out.
This bead rapidly enlarged in midair, as though it was the eye of an Ancient Fey.
"This is the Demon Defying Bead, a treasure bestowed to me by Master. The Demon Defying Bead is a supreme-grade array bead. It can contain any array formation, and it can amplify the array formation's power. All of you will enter the Demon Defying Bead's array formation. The array formation was personally drawn by me, and those who walk out of the Demon Defying Bead will pass. Otherwise, you will be eliminated!"
Song Wuchen's voice was loud and clear as it resounded throughout the area. The Demon Defying Bead's Nine Palatial Array was an array formation achievement that he was most proud of. This array formation was nearly created by Song Wuchen himself.
Since Song Wuchen was the examiner, the Nine Palatial Array naturally had to be showcased.
"The first question is to crack the array?"
People could tell what Song Wuchen meant.
"Crack the array?" Song Wuchen smiled. Many warriors had their own areas of expertise. Some specialized in the Desolate Heaven technique, while others specialized in refining artifacts. As for Song Wuchen, he specialized in array formations.
He was an array formation master. Coupled with his late-stage Dao Manifestation cultivation level, how could an array formation set up be so easily cracked?
"It's not breaking the formation. As long as you can walk out of it, it's already very good. The shorter the time, the better the result."
As Song Wuchen spoke, the Demon Defying Bead slowly descended, enveloping everyone within it.
"A formation to eliminate ninety-nine percent of the people. Young Master Dustless is indeed skillful."
The Oracle Fey Kingdom king said with a smile. As a popular disciple of Felicitous Rain Lord and one of the examiners, Song Wuchen naturally had to flatter him.
"Your Majesty, I said more than 99%. There are eight to nine thousand people who came to participate in the assessment. Even if 99% are eliminated, there will still be 80 to 90 people left. That's too many. In my opinion, after the first round, the remaining dozen people should be enough."
Song Wuchen said indifferently. Everyone was speechless when they heard this. Nearly ten thousand people came, and only a dozen people were left in the first round. This elimination rate was a little too ruthless.
"If there are only a dozen or so people left, I'll set the difficulty level at 60%. That should be enough, right?" Song Wuchen said. He waved his hand again, and the array bead enveloped them completely.
If so many people were eliminated at 60% of the difficulty level, wouldn't that mean that only a few could clear 100% of the difficulty level?
Song Wuchen's words made many people cast sidelong glances at him.
Song Wuchen was very pleased with the outcome. He knew that being an examiner was also an opportunity for him to perform in front of Felicitous Rain Lord.
In the assessment, the standard of the questions he set was a manifestation of his own strength!
Song Wuchen enjoyed the feeling of being in control of the entire situation with an array that controlled the fates of more than ten thousand people.
With a Divine Lord level treasure like the Demon Defying Bead, he could perfectly control any one of the nearly ten thousand people.
Of course, that included Yi Yun.
Song Wuchen's perception interfaced with the Demon Defying Bead and landed on Yi Yun. A teasing smile suffused across his lips.
"Yi Yun, you are so highly regarded by Martial Aunt Ningshuang, so it naturally cannot be a simple difficulty. I'll add some spice to it for you."
Song Wuchen knew very well that since Shui Ningshuang had specially transmitted her voice to him before the assessment began, asking him to pay special attention to Yi Yun, it meant that Felicitous Rain Lord had already secretly decided that Yi Yun would be one of his in-name disciples.
It was already unstoppable for Yi Yun to become an in-name disciple, so it was meaningless no matter how Song Wuchen tested Yi Yun.
Although it was a fact that he could not change, Song Wuchen could still take Yi Yun down a notch.
Song Wuchen's addition of spice to Yi Yun naturally could not be hidden from Fairy Ningshuang's eyes. However, it did not matter. Fairy Ningshuang had asked him to 'pay special attention' to Yi Yun. If Yi Yun's results in the assessment were terrible, Song Wuchen could say that he thought Yi Yun was talented and could exceed expectations, but he never expected Yi Yun to fail the assessment.
As such, even if Yi Yun became an in-name disciple, he would not be able to threaten Song Wuchen's position as the number one in-name disciple.
"Yi Yun, since you have received so much attention, enjoy the additional augmentation of the Demon Defying Bead. As for Chi Zhuiyun, you are slightly lacking. I'll give you 100% of the difficulty so that you can have some fun."
As Song Wuchen muttered to himself, he produced a few seals without leaving a trace.
He looked forward to the scene of Yi Yun being covered in dust, to the point of him not being able to walk out of the array bead.
Many members of the audience did not know that the Demon Defying Bead's array formations had different levels of difficulty. Song Wuchen wanted to know how Yi Yun's admirers from the Luo clan would feel when they saw their idol's terrible results.
…
At this moment, in the pavilion in the middle of the lake on the floating island.
Shui Ningshuang was playing chess with Felicitous Rain Lord. Her wrist paused slightly as she placed a piece. "Song Wuchen too. Although I told him to pay special attention to Yi Yun's assessment, such a level of difficulty is indeed a little too high."
Felicitous Rain Lord laughed. "It's fine. It's good that the difficulty is a little higher. I want to see if that child, Yi Yun, can give me a little surprise."
"Oh? Does the Divine Lord believe that Yi Yun will be able to walk out of such a level of difficulty? "
"According to Yi Yun's cultivation level, it will be very difficult for him to walk out of it. However … if everything goes according to common sense, then there's no point in him being heavily nurtured …"
Felicitous Rain Lord said nonchalantly as he placed another piece.
Shui Ningshuang's eyebrows pricked up slightly. This was Felicitous Rain Lord. He had extremely high standards!
Even with such a level of difficulty, many mighty figures would find it difficult, but Felicitous Rain Lord had made it a standard for the assessment.
Even the three standards that Yi Yun had to meet to become a personal disciple were also Felicitous Rain Lord's original intentions. It was a rigid standard that could not be met!
Since she could not do anything, she could only wish Yi Yun the best of luck.
While Felicitous Rain Lord and Shui Ningshuang were conversing, Yi Yun had already arrived in an alternate space.
Without a doubt, this was the Demon Defying Bead's internal world. For a treasure at the Divine Lord level, its internal space could even expand into a small world. Back then, the God Advent Tower was the same.
As Yi Yun was pondering over it, the space around him compressed towards him. Soon, it formed a long spatial passageway, and at the end of the passageway was a bronze door!
