397 The Four Testers
After leaving the secret space, Yang Song said to Xu Hailong, "Tomorrow morning, find me several element testers and bring them to the secret space."
"Yes, patriarch." Xu Hailong walked behind Yang Song steadily and nodded.
"Right, when you were away on your mission, I told you that there is an important matter related to the survival of your sect. Now, it's time for you to know about it."
Hearing this, Xu Hailong was about to ask what it was, but before he could say it, a finger appeared out of nowhere and landed on his forehead.
Instantly, many pieces of information that did not belong to him materialized in his Sea of Consciousness.
Xu Hailong was struck dumb when the information was assimilated fully by him.
He did not expect that his sect was infiltrated by so many spies of the Black Dragon Sect. Even more than that, he did not expect that so much happened when he was away from the sect for only less than a week.
Zhong Lifeng was an evil warrior was an even more shocking thing for him. But saddest thing was the miserable death of his sect members.
Xu Hailong felt like he was going up and down a mountain in a quick manner. He went from being stunned to shocked and so on. Finally, when the scene where Yang Song solved everything so smoothly entered his sight, he calmed down and accepted everything naturally.
Yang Song felt that Xu Hailong had more or less digested everything and adjusted his state of mind, so he continued, "For now, let's not care about the Black Dragon Sect for the time being. Wait until I finish the matter here and go back to the Exhausting Sun City first."
"Yes, patriarch."
With that said, Yang Song's figure vanished and appeared in his room.
Checking on Xiang Lige had already become Yang Song's daily habit. After he entered the secret space, he saw that Xiang Lige was still meditating silently. Several minutes later, he determined that there was nothing wrong with her, and with that, he left the secret space quietly.
…
The morning came.
In the secret space where those recruits were being accommodated.
As Yang Song ordered, as soon as the sun rose, everyone gathered around the big platform orderly.
The air was filled with the smell of nervousness. Those little guys couldn't really stay still. They either discussed with their acquaintances or kept taking a deep breath as if trying to divert their agitated feeling.
On the platform, there were four big stones steles stood erected straight.
It was not the first time that the people below had seen these four stone steles. A lot of them even had personal experiences with them.
The four stone steles were none other than the testers. The first stone stele counting from the right was the Soul Tester, the second one was the Element Tester, the third one was the Strength Tester, and the final one was the Realm Tester.
In the Middle Sky World, when a child reached the age of 13, he had to have his aptitude tested once, and he could be tested one more time when he reached the age of 16.
It was also worth mentioning that a person could be tested many times in his entire life, but the first two times were free. Further than that, if one wanted to have his aptitude tested, he had to pay a testing fee, which was very expensive.
It was not unreasonable, after all, the aptitude testers needed the energy from the Inner Cores in order to operate. This was the reason why the royal family and the four major sects only willingly let a person have his own aptitude two times for free.
Every time the testing ceremony was celebrated, the cost was astronomically huge. With this, it could be said that five major forces were generous enough.
But this time, Yang Song let these people test again for free. Anyway, he had many Inner Cores on him.
Looking from an angle, it seemed meaningless to let the people who had already tested two times before test again. But in Yang Song's opinion, he did not really think so.
Things in the world were unpredictable.
A person's talent could come early or late. Therefore, he felt that the more one had his aptitude tested, the better it was.
After all, who knew? What if there were late bloomers? To be more crucial, what if those late bloomers had special talents?
If such people were missed, Yang Song would regret it terribly. That was not the result he wanted to see.
Hence, Yang Song decided to allow everyone to take a test how many times they wanted. Of course, this rule was only applied to the members of his sect. But it was not like outsiders could not take a test either, it was just that they had to pay a testing fee.
Naturally, Yang Song had not announced what was on his mind yet. He was only sampling a rough outline.
Xu Hailong and Xu Zhihua arranged several seats on the high platform, but they still did not sit, they were still standing.
Yang Song had already arrived for quite a while, but he was still floating in the air, with invisibility, and looking down silently.
When everything was more or less prepared, Yang Song made a movement slightly and instantly appeared on the platform.
The atmosphere became silent quickly.
Yang Song first walked to Xu Hailong and said silently, "If you affairs to handle outside, you can go, or stay here if there isn't any."
Then, under the watchful eyes of the recruits, Yang Song walked to the middle of the platform and started, "In the next moment, all of you will have your aptitude tested up here. As mentioned previously, you need not be nervous or afraid. No matter what the result will be, you will not be kicked out of here at all cost. However, this seat will say this one more time, if any of you dare to violate the common rules, you have to bear the consequences yourself."
Yang Song looked around for a moment and nodded. Then, he waved his hand slightly.
The platform vibrated slightly before many staircases made of earth materialized around the platform cleanly.
Next, Yang Song motioned for Xu Zhihua to take his place and proceeded with the next action.
Xu Zhihua walked to the position near the four testers and sat down on a seat near it. In front of him, there was also a long table with many Memory Jade Slips that contained the information of the thousands of the recruits presented on it.
Xu Zhihua took a Memory Jade Slip at random and absorbed the information inside it.
Then, he called out loudly, "Hua Fang!"
A young man with no hair walked out and stepped onto the platform.
As instructed, the young man walked to the Soul Tester first and put his right hand on it.
On the big Soul Tester, there were ten star symbols that stood vertically. Each star represented the grade of souls. If a person could light up five stars, it meant that he could become a martial artist. Lower than five meant that he was not qualified to become a warrior at all.
As Hua Feng's hand was placed on it, four stars were lit up. This kind of thing might be good for ordinary people, but in the world of warriors, this level couldn't be more ordinary, or even lower.
Even if he knew that he would not be kicked out or anything, Hua Feng still looked disappointed.
Yang Song shook his head secretly when he saw this. He was disappointed with the attitude of these people. Maybe the great status of warriors had been instilled into them since birth, even with the situation now, they still subconsciously felt that being a warrior was better and more powerful.
But disappointment aside, he could not blame them either. After all, this world had no magical spells or any techniques related to elemental magic at all.
Hua Feng walked to the next tester, which was the Element Tester.
The Element Tester did not have any star symbols on it like the Soul Tester at all. Instead, there was a big and deep hole in the middle of it.
Hua Feng placed his hand on it, and the result appeared a few seconds later.
A brown light glimmered in the big hole of the Element Tester. A second later, the brown light dimmed down and what was filled in the hole was brown earth instead.
Next, he walked to the Strength Tester.
This Strength Tester was the most conspicuous among the four testers. It was pure black, but it was not so black to the point that even light could not illuminate it.
But on the surface of the Strength Tester, there were also ten star symbols that stood straight.
Hua Feng took a deep breath, clenched his hand into a fist, and lay a punch on the Strength Tester with all his might.
"Thud!"
A dull sound appeared after that. The entire black stone stele also trembled a little, after that, four stars were lit up.
Finally, it was time to see his realm. The Realm Tester looked just like the Soul Tester. The result instantly came out when Hua Feng's hand touched it. He was a peak level 1 rookie.
The results were recorded down by Xu Zhihua clearly in the Memory Jade Slip.
Hua Feng, 15, male, qualification: 4-star soul, earth element, 4-star strength, level 1.
"Yes, patriarch." Xu Hailong walked behind Yang Song steadily and nodded.
"Right, when you were away on your mission, I told you that there is an important matter related to the survival of your sect. Now, it's time for you to know about it."
