The spectators outside the examination venue watched the giant stone slab before them, as each skull marker on it shattered one by one. In place of those shattered skull marks, as if seeds had been planted and were now blooming, new skull emblems were being formed. Atop these skeletal marks, a small circlet of magic power was constructed, resembling a tiny crown, and on some of these skull crowns, there were one or two bone spikes vertically embedded.
Mr. Giant Dragon nodded in satisfaction, "The candidates this year are doing much better in terms of unity and cooperation compared to last year. So many newcomers have created constructs so quickly," he scrutinized the new marks and their tiny crowns, tapping his bone rod lightly, "though the strength of the constructs is a bit uneven, a little weak on average."
Someone in the audience raised a question.
"Mr. Giant Dragon, what do the bone spikes on those crowns signify? Are they different?"
