(MC POV)
As expected, none of the new students passed.
The task may seem plausible on paper but there was no way these newbies could match up against experienced Practitioners like the Elders here. Unless you were some kind of prodigious genius or someone with a cheat of course, which evidently, none of them are.
I'm not sure why they would put such an impossible task for the new students? No wait… Could it be that they didn't want any new students?
Given that I already knew Feng boy had pretty much scared all the prospective female students away with his idiocy, he might also not be taking care of the other students well. With that in mind, the other people in the Sect might not want more students to join and become Feng boy's victims so they create an impossible task to reject these students.
