Shen Ping could not help but feel disappointed, but he quickly asked, "Senior Xia, may I ask how long the assessment will last? To be honest, I'm already old. If I exceed 60 years old, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for me to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm."
Deacon Xia glanced at Shen Ping. Almost instantly, Shen Ping felt a divine sense attack. His expression was calm, but he was a little nervous. "You're indeed not young anymore. But it's fine. As far as I know, the assessment will last for at most two years. If it goes smoothly, it will only take a year, or even half a year." Deacon Xia smiled and said, "Guest Elder Shen, do you have any other questions?"
Shen Ping stood up and bowed. "I understand. Thank you for your patient explanation, Senior Xia."
"Then, do you want to apply for the special-class guest elder qualification assessment now?"
Hearing this, Shen Ping said solemnly, "Yes!"
