"The second group of cultivators, enter the assessment formation."
After the first round of assessment was over, the voice of the elders echoed immediately.
Following that, the second batch of cultivators immediately entered the assessment formation and began their evaluation.
The performance of the second group of cultivators in the assessment was slightly better than that of the first group, with two of them qualifying.
Each qualifying cultivator stood on the side, basking in the admiring gazes of others. This was the treatment enjoyed by the victors.
Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others stood quietly at the back. They arrived later, so their assessment also took place later.
After waiting for a while, it was finally their turn. Cui Haoyan and Zhan Yunfeng glanced at Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others, saying, "Let's go in first."
Upon hearing this, Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others exchanged glances and nodded, "Good luck!"
Cui Haoyan and Zhan Yunfeng nodded in response, "We will."
Soon after, the two of them, along with three other cultivators, walked into the assessment formation.
As Cui Haoyan and Zhan Yunfeng participated in the assessment, the crowd of onlookers focused their gaze on them, eager to know how they would perform.
After all, compared to other unfamiliar cultivators, Cui Haoyan and Zhan Yunfeng attracted special attention.
Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others also fixed their gaze on Cui Haoyan and Zhan Yunfeng, hoping that they would successfully pass the assessment.
"I hope Yunfeng and the others can endure the time of three incense sticks!" Xia Zhiqing clasped her hands together, unable to help but pray.
"They have made significant progress during this period, so they should be able to succeed," Bai Junyu consoled.
Bai Li Hongzhuang observed Cui Haoyan and Zhan Yunfeng's performance, feeling a faint worry in her heart.
"Master, do you think Cui Haoyan and the others can pass the assessment?" Bai Li Hongzhuang remained silent, unsure of the final outcome.
Because when Emperor Beichen mentioned the various dangers of the small world yesterday, she noticed the hesitation of Cui Haoyan and Zhan Yunfeng, which was far less resolute than that of Xia Zhiqing and the others.
The mere moment of hesitation had already revealed many problems. Regardless, she hoped that Cui Haoyan and Zhan Yunfeng would succeed.
Boom!
After one incense stick's time, a cultivator with a pale face exited the assessment formation.
Upon seeing the cultivator leaving the assessment formation, the expressions of Xia Zhiqing and the others became somewhat grim. They hadn't expected that the first one to withdraw would be Zhan Yunfeng!
Bai Li Hongzhuang and Xia Zhiqing hurried forward, supporting the fallen Zhan Yunfeng.
"It was so terrifying, so terrifying!" Zhan Yunfeng kept murmuring, clearly having witnessed something extremely frightening.
"Yunfeng, it's alright now." Bai Li Hongzhuang spoke up, but Zhan Yunfeng was still immersed in her previous fear.
She reached out and patted Zhan Yunfeng's back, soothing her emotions.
"Yeah, Yunfeng, snap out of it. The assessment is already over," Xia Zhiqing expressed her concern.
Listening to the familiar voices of Bai Li Hongzhuang and Xia Zhiqing, Zhan Yunfeng gradually regained her senses, although a lingering fear still lingered in her eyes.
"Hongzhuang, Zhiqing, how did I perform?"
After recovering her clarity, Zhan Yunfeng quickly looked towards the direction where the incense sticks were lit. When she saw the second incense stick still burning, her complexion grew even paler.
"I only lasted for one incense stick's time?" Zhan Yunfeng questioned without the need for Bai Li Hongzhuang and Xia Zhiqing to speak. Their attitude had already revealed everything.
