In the examination hall.
"Ling Muchen, you've also reached Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm?"
Su Mo walked up and asked Ling Muchen with a smile.
Ling Muchen nodded to Su Mo and said with a smile, "I just broke through yesterday!"
Then, Ling Muchen looked at Su Mo suspiciously and asked, "Have you also reached Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm?"
Since Su Mo had come to the examination hall, he was probably here for the Inner Examination, but Ling Muchen was not sure.
When they met in the Imperial City half a month ago, Su Mo was only at Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm.
No matter how many Spiritual Stones Su Mo had received, it was impossible for him to break through two levels in half a month!
"Yes, I've just broken through!"
Su Mo nodded.
Upon hearing this, Ling Muchen was shocked and could not help but sigh in his heart. No wonder Su Mo had won 151 battles in a row in the Four Seas Arena!
Ling Muchen had been in a good mood after breaking through, but now his good mood had disappeared.
Compared to Su Mo, breaking through one realm was nothing to be happy about.
"Elder, I'm here for the Inner Examination!"
Su Mo walked up to the supervising elder in the hall and said with his fists clasped.
The elder was a short middle-aged man with a hooked nose, thin lips, and a sharp chin, which made him look ruthless.
At this moment, the elder was sitting cross-legged on a futon, meditating with his eyes closed.
Upon hearing Su Mo's words, the supervising elder opened his eyes, and a dazzling light flashed across his eyes.
"You're Su Mo?"
The supervising elder looked at Su Mo and asked expressionlessly.
"Yes!"
Su Mo nodded.
The supervising elder nodded slightly, glanced at Ling Muchen and the other person, and said, "There are three of you. Let's start the examination!"
Then, the supervising elder pointed at the center of the hall, where there was a huge stone stele that was three meters tall.
"That's a stele specially made for the Inner Examination. It's used to test attack power. You're not allowed to use weapons or martial arts techniques. If you can light up 10 crystals, you'll pass the examination and officially become an Inner Disciple!"
The supervising elder said.
Su Mo was surprised. He did not expect the Inner Examination to be so simple.
Su Mo had heard that Gale Island did not have an Inner Examination in the past.
As long as a disciple's cultivation reached Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm, he or she could enter the Inner Gate.
However, under such circumstances, there were many Outer Disciples at the Peak of Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm who were unable to break through for a long time due to their low talent. In order to enter the Inner Sect, they used some special methods or elixirs to stimulate the potential in their bodies and barely entered Lv 7.
Although they had entered the Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm, they were much weaker than those who had reached the Lv 7 Martial Realm by normal methods.
Moreover, their cultivation bases were unstable, and there was even a possibility that they would fall.
This kind of situation happened from time to time, which greatly lowered the quality of the inner sect disciples.
Therefore, Gale Island introduced the Inner Core Examination. If a disciple did not advance to Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm through normal means, it would be difficult to pass the examination.
"Shen" Mo, "Su" Two Masters, "the supervising elder said. Mo," Shen, "Mu" Yu, "Long.
It was a sturdy young man. Su Mo had some impression of him. He seemed to have entered the top 100 in the Outer Disciple Competition.
"Ha!"
The burly young man stood in front of the testing stele, took a deep breath, and let out a roar as he punched the stele.
Boom!
The huge testing stone tablet trembled. Then, the eleven crystals on it shone brightly with purple light.
"Twelve Crystal Stones, pass!"
The exam elder said in a clear voice.
The sturdy young man was overjoyed when he heard this and walked back with a complacent expression.
Then, Ling Muchen stepped forward and gently placed his palm on the testing stele.
Suddenly, the Testing Monument shone with purple light again. Fourteen rays of light appeared.
"Fourteen Crystal Stones, pass!"
The exam master sat on the cushion and shouted again.
Su Mo nodded to himself. As one of the top 10 Outer Disciples, Ling Muchen's strength far surpassed his peers, so it was no surprise that he had such a powerful attack.
After Ling Muchen returned, Su Mo stepped forward.
This so-called Inner Examination posed no difficulty to Su Mo at all. He could easily pass it.
Standing in front of the stele, Su Mo raised his fist and was about to strike when the invigilating elder's voice suddenly rang out.
"Su Mo, you need to light up 20 crystals to pass!"
The invigilating elder said flatly, his face expressionless.
Su Mo was stunned, then he frowned and asked, "Elder, others only need to light up 10 crystals to pass. Why do I need to light up 20 crystals to pass?"
Upon hearing Su Mo's words, the invigilating elder glanced at him coldly and said, "Because your cultivation is higher. You've reached the middle stage of the Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm!"
The invigilating elder's cultivation was so high that he could see through Su Mo's cultivation.
Su Mo's face darkened. "Isn't it better to have a higher cultivation? Does it mean that I have to increase the difficulty of the exam just because I have a higher cultivation? "
Moreover, his cultivation had only increased by a little, but the difficulty of the test had increased by several times!
It seemed like only ten crystals had been added, but for every crystal that was lit up, the attack power required would increase exponentially.
This was a cultivation test to test whether a disciple had reached the Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm through normal means. It was not a test of personal strength!
If the difficulty was increased just because one's cultivation was slightly higher, then not many people would be able to pass this test.
For example, the burly youth had only lit up 12 crystals. Su Mo was sure that even if he had reached the Peak Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm, it would be impossible for him to light up 20 crystals!
Su Mo's face darkened. This invigilating elder was clearly making things difficult for him.
"Elder, my cultivation is only slightly higher than theirs. Isn't it inappropriate for you to increase the difficulty so much?"
Su Mo asked coldly.
Although Su Mo did not feel pressured to light up 10 more crystals, he did not want to be made things difficult for no reason.
"How dare you!"
Upon hearing Su Mo's words, the invigilating elder shouted coldly and said with a cold light in his eyes, "It's not up to you to decide whether my actions are appropriate or not. Are you questioning me?"
"You …!"
Su Mo was exasperated. He did not expect this elder to be so unreasonable.
Just as Su Mo was about to speak again, he suddenly heard a soft voice.
"Su Mo, this invigilating elder is said to be from the Sky Alliance. You'd better not fight him head-on!"
Ling Muchen's voice came to Su Mo's ears.
Ling Muchen transmitted his voice to Su Mo through genuine Qi.
Upon hearing this, Su Mo raised his eyebrows. No wonder the invigilating elder was making things difficult for him! He was from the Sky Alliance!
If that was the case, it was not strange.
"Has the Sky Alliance become so powerful?"
Any random elder was a member of the Heavenly Alliance.
Su Mo sneered. "Duan Jingtian is not the island owner yet, and he's just a disciple. Why are these elders so eager to show their loyalty?"
After a while, Su Mo suppressed his anger and looked at the "Attack Testing Stele" in front of him.
There were a total of 25 purple gems on the stele. Even a martial artist at the Peak Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm would not be able to light up all 25 gems.
After pondering for a while, Su Mo's lips curled up into an evil smile, and he said to the invigilating elder, "Elder, there are only 25 Spiritual Crystals on your stele. What if my attack exceeds 25 Spiritual Crystals?"
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, the invigilating elder burst into laughter as if he had heard a joke.
After a while, the invigilating elder said disdainfully, "Even a martial artist at the Peak Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm could not light up 25 crystals, let alone exceed 25 crystals! Do you think you can? "
The invigilating elder's face was full of sarcasm.
"Oh? Really? "
