Chapter 233: Entry Test

Boom!

A booming sound suddenly came, interrupting the discussion among Wang Jianqiang and the others regarding the Star Grudge Power.

Everyone subconsciously looked ahead.

Immediately, they saw a Cultivator who had appeared before the gate of Desolate City at some unknown time.

There was no door on the city gate.

Instead, it was sealed by a layer of Spiritual Power Light Curtain, making it impossible to see inside the city.

The previous booming sound.

Was precisely caused by this Cultivator punching the light curtain.

As Wang Jianqiang looked toward the city gate, this Cultivator had not yet withdrawn his fist.

The light curtain was vibrating slightly.

A moment later, the originally colorless light curtain gradually turned yellow.

Immediately following.

A yellow light shot out, transforming into a stream of light that merged into his body.

That Cultivator shook his head in frustration and walked toward the light curtain.

Upon touching the light curtain, he did not encounter the slightest resistance and passed straight through.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang shook his head.

"Yellow, just the lowest grade."

From the information obtained previously, he already knew.

All ordinary examinees must undergo a test before entering the city.

The method of testing is to attack the Spiritual Power Light Curtain at the city gate.

The Spiritual Power Light Curtain will display different colors based on the strength of the examinee's attack, and then issue an Entry Mark of the corresponding grade.

Entry Marks can be divided into four grades from low to high: low grade, medium grade, high grade, and Special Grade.

The Spiritual Power Light Curtain has seven colors: yellow, green, cyan, blue, red, purple, and gold.

The yellow and green colors correspond to the low-grade rating, granting the lowest-grade Entry Mark and the lowest-level residence.

The cyan and blue colors correspond to the medium-grade rating, granting a medium-grade Entry Mark and a medium-level residence.

The red and purple colors correspond to the high-grade rating, granting a high-grade Entry Mark and a high-level residence.

Gold corresponds to the Special Grade rating, granting a Special Grade Entry Mark and a Special Grade residence.

The test rating is only conducted this one time; once determined, it will not be changed again.

In other words, this test determines the cultivation environment of the examinees for the next twenty years, making it extremely important.

Precisely because of this, the previous Cultivator was so frustrated after seeing that he had only obtained the lowest-grade rating.

After the first Cultivator entered the city.

People appeared at the city gate one after another to begin their tests.

Booming sounds were heard continuously.

The color of the Spiritual Power Light Curtain also changed constantly.

One by one, after finishing their tests, the Cultivators obtained their Desolate City Entry Marks and entered.

After watching for a while, Wang Jianqiang gradually formed some guesses in his heart regarding the color-changing pattern of this Spiritual Power Light Curtain.

Attacks at the Golden Core Mid Stage and Golden Core Late Stage levels could at most make the Spiritual Power Light Curtain display the yellow and green colors.

Only an attack reaching the Golden Core Perfection level could make the Spiritual Power Light Curtain turn cyan.

To make the Spiritual Power Light Curtain turn blue, it requires an attack at the peak Golden Core Perfection level, such as the level of Nancheng Kong and Bai Wuqing.

As for red, although no one has managed it yet.

But according to his guess, the attack power must at least exceed the limit of the Golden Core Stage and reach the Nascent Soul Stage level to be able to do it.

As for the subsequent purple and gold, it is not easy to determine for the time being.

Just as Wang Jianqiang was deep in thought, a burst of clamor suddenly came.

"It's Lu Ren; he is the number one powerhouse on our Divine Water City Battle Stele."

"Even someone as strong as Lu Ren could only strike out a red mark; just how strong must one be to obtain the higher purple and gold marks?"

……

Wang Jianqiang looked toward the city gate.

The Spiritual Power Light Curtain had now turned a bright red color.

A red stream of light shot out from the Spiritual Power Light Curtain and merged into the body of a sturdy figure in front of the light curtain.

The sturdy figure frowned, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied, and walked into the city.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang felt a stir in his heart.

Although he did not see the testing process of this Lu Ren, since he could become the number one on a city's Battle Stele, his strength must be extraordinary.

At the very least, he is equivalent to the level of Mo Wuming, Tushan Youyou, and the deceased Lin Yichen and Xuan Xingzi.

Yet he only obtained a red mark.

It seems that wanting to obtain purple and gold marks is harder than imagined.

As the testing continued, the number of people in the Square kept decreasing.

"Senior Brother, let's enter the city too."

Seeing that the number of people in the Square had decreased by more than half, Mu Lingxi said to Wang Jianqiang.

"I still have some matters to attend to; no rush, you all go in first." Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head.

Then, seemingly thinking of something, he instructed the five of them.

"Oh, right, just handle this test however you like; don't expose your trump cards."

The mark grade only determines the level of your accommodation.

Other than that, there are no benefits.

With his level of Pill Dao, it shouldn't be difficult to obtain a high-level accommodation.

Even if Mu Lingxi and the others cannot obtain high-level accommodation, they can stay with him.

There is no need to expose trump cards.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Mu Lingxi and the others pondered for a moment, understood, and nodded.

A moment later.

The five of them arrived before the city gate.

"I'll go first."

Mu Lingxi walked to the front of the Spiritual Power Light Curtain, her slender, delicate fist clenched tight.

She threw a punch.

The Spiritual Power Light Curtain instantly turned blue.

With Mu Lingxi's strength, if she exerted her full power, she could at least obtain a Red Mark.

However, she followed Wang Jianqiang's instructions and did not use her full power.

Not only her Three Lives Body, but even her Dao Domain was not utilized.

That is why she only obtained a Blue Mark.

Even so, the test result surpassed most of the people present.

Among those who had tested previously, yellow and green marks accounted for the vast majority, while cyan and blue marks were only a minority.

As for red, there were only a mere three people.

And all three were figures at the level of the top of the Battle Ranking.

Afterward, Wang Yuyao, Su Yutong, and Xing Li tested one by one.

Because they had the intention of just getting through it.

The three of them had very average results, only obtaining cyan marks.

As for Yun Xin.

As a Pill Dao Specialty Cultivator, her testing method was slightly different from Mu Lingxi and the others.

For a Specialized Cultivator, combat power is not within the scope of the assessment.

Therefore.

A Specialized Cultivator does not need to attack the Spiritual Power Light Curtain like a regular examinee.

One only needs to approach, and the Spiritual Power Light Curtain can autonomously detect the Pill Dao attainments of the Pill Dao Cultivator to make an evaluation.

When Yun Xin walked within a range of one zhang of the Spiritual Power Light Curtain.

A burst of red light suddenly erupted from the Spiritual Power Light Curtain.

A streak of red light shot out from within the Spiritual Power Light Curtain, forming a Red Pill Furnace Mark on her forehead.

Seeing the Red Pill Furnace Mark on Yun Xin's forehead.

The crowd in the Square all revealed looks of shock.

Through observation.

Everyone had already roughly perceived some patterns.

A Red Mark.

Only someone at the level of a city's number one person could possibly obtain it.

This is true for regular examinees, and it is also true for Specialized Cultivators.

Before Yun Xin, there had also been a Specialized Cultivator who obtained a Red Mark.

That person was indeed at the level of a city's number one person.

Could it be...

Is this woman the Pill Dao number one of a certain city?

The crowd's expressions flickered as they began to speculate.

Immediately following, when the discussion of the Shenhuo City Pill Dao Cultivators arose.

The crowd learned of Yun Xin's identity as the number one Pill Dao person of Shenhuo City, and only then did they reveal looks of sudden realization.

"Yun Xin, Su Yutong!"

In the area where the Shenhuo City Cultivators were located.

A figure stared fixedly at the city gate, their eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.

These two...

Should have both belonged to him.

Thinking of this, their gaze shifted.

Passing through figure after figure, it landed on Wang Jianqiang.

It was because of this bastard!

He lost these two former lovers.

Even his most respected master had fallen into the other party's hands!
