The early morning sun shone brightly over the training field where eighteen students stood in orderly fashion, awaiting their test.
In the center of the field stood a dark stone pillar, flanked by an examiner on each side.
Not far away, on a raised platform, sat the students' parents, and in the center of the platform sat the head of the Martial Arts Alliance and several elders. However, Lin Chen also spotted an old acquaintance, Zhou Batian, the head of the Zhou family.
On the field, each student's face bore traces of tension, as today's test would determine their future fate.
Lu Xiaofeng glanced over everyone and said seriously, "The results of this test will be divided into seven tiers, from one star at the lowest to seven stars at the highest. The amount of energy contained within your Qi Sea will determine the final outcome. I wish everyone good luck in achieving high scores."
