Quickly about a hundred young people took the stage, the youngest being fourteen and the oldest twenty.
"I hope we are not wasting our time." - Ming Feng.
"I noticed some interesting people, that black cloak person for example." - Long Mu.
Chi Ziyun took his gaze to the figure his Master mentioned.
"Chi Ziyun, can you feel anything coming from the black-cloaked person on stage?" - Long Mu.
"No, Master." - Chi Ziyun
"That's why he's interesting, not even I can feel his Qi." - Long Mu.
"What? Not even you? "- Chi Ziyun.
Long Mu smiled.
"Very well, since everyone is here we will start the first step," said Ming Feng, reaching forward and sending a huge crystal out of the ring on his hand.
"This crystal will measure the level of cultivation, the purity of your Qi and your talent." - Ming Feng.
"The minimum cultivation to advance to the second phase is 4th Degree of Integration Dao, the minimum purity is Gray and the minimum talent is a 3rd Degree Deadly Body." - Long Mu.
The purity of Qi is very important. The purer Qi, the greater one's power. Purity is divided into Black, Gray, White, Green, Blue, and Gold.
Talent is equally important and is divided into Mortal Body from 1st to 3rd Degree, Heavenly Body from 1st to 3rd Degree, and Divine from 1st to 3rd Degree.
"Everyone gets a box number, we'll call one by one to do the test." - Ming Feng.
This was an important moment, everyone was seeking glory for themselves and their families, but being tested in front of thousands was still complicated.
'Number 2?' Le Chang was surprised.
"Number 1, get on the stage." - Said Long Mu.
A young man wearing a brown cloak with pure gold embroidery stepped onto the stage.
"It's Du Clan's young master, Du Zhong. I hear he's in the 7th Degree of the Dao of Integration. "
" He will surely enter the Purple Flame Sect. "
Le Chang heard several comments about the young man heading toward the crystal.
"Put your hand on the Crystal and inject your Qi into it." - Ming Feng.
With a smug, proud look, Du Zhong put his hand on it.
A few seconds later some information appeared.
"Cultivation: 7th Grade Dao Integration, 17 years old, Talent: 1st Degree Heaven Body and Purity: White… Congratulations you have moved to the second phase." - Long Mu.
Du Zhong returned to his spot with a glance toward Chi Ziyun who didn't even look at him.
"Hmpf." Du Zhong snorted indignantly.
"Number 2, come on." - Ming Feng.
A young man in a black robe took the stage and positioned himself in front of the crystal.
"Cultivation: 5th Grade Dao Integration, 15 years, Talent: 3rd Degree Heaven Body and Purity: Green". Said Long Mu.
"Since when is such a genius in our city?"
"Must be some young man from an unknown village"
"3rd Degree Heaven Body… Your future is brighter than Du Zhong's"
Several murmurs were heard throughout the square and some wondered where this young man appeared.
"Tsc… I couldn't suppress my talent enough…" Le Chang told Seiryuu.
"Your current talent is Above the 3rd Degree Divine Body and the Purity of your Qi is at least Golden… You did a good job suppressing it." - Seiryuu.
Quickly one hundred were tested and only forty people passed.
"Very well, we will continue to the second phase. First, each of you must get new numbers. "- Ming Feng.
Le Chang picked up the number ten tag.
"The second phase will consist of 1v1 battles, which will take place as follows, number one will fight with number forty, number two with number thirty-nine and so on. Once the twenty winners are decided, we will have a new round in the same way and the remaining ten will fight to decide the five final winners and only these five will enter the Purple Flame Sect. "- Long Mu.
"Number 1 and Number 40, go up in the arena." - Ming Feng.
A young man with dark skin, robust body, brown eyes, and black hair took the stage.
On the other side came a dark-skinned boy with a slender body and long black hair.
Both were in the 5th Grade of the Dao of Integration.
"Begin." - Long Mu.
The stout young man held a huge brass staff.
The slender young man held a bronze saber.
"Who do you think will win?" "I think Fan Huo will do better with his staff" "Lai Jun is a genius at Saber, he certainly will win " Several murmurs rang through the square, even some bets were made between the crowd. Fan Huo, using his staff as a base, jumped into the air, quickly attacked his opponent's head with his Qi-covered staff. Lai Jun covered his saber with Qi and quickly positioned him to defend his opponent's attack. Lai Jun was forced to take a few steps back and Fan Huo used the impact to jump back and stand up. Lai Jun quickly attacked Fan Huo and struck his saber into his opponent's heart.
The young man with the bat quickly jumped to the side and using his weapon as support spun on it and brought a heavy kick towards Lai Jun.
Lai Jun jumped sideways, the kick created a small crater in the arena.
Lai Jun brought the blade toward his opponent's head taking advantage of a small opening that emerged.
Fan Huo deflected the tip of the blade with his staff but received a powerful Qi-covered kick in his leg that momentarily destabilized him, seizing this opportunity. Lai Jun attacked his opponent's throat with his sword.
"I surrender," said Fan Huo feeling the cold blade at his neck.
"Number 40 Winner" - Long Mu.
************
"Next Number 10 and Number 31, go up in the arena." - Ming Feng.
A young man wearing a black cloak jumped to the spot.
On the other side was an arrogant-looking boy wearing a green cloak with some embroidery.
Le Chang studied his opponent carefully, with a plan in mind a small smile passed over his covered face.
"START" - Long Mu.
