Chapter 1031: with translation of chapter title

After the first two rounds of examination, the Heavenly Prides hearing that the next round was to test talent, each felt as if a burden had been lifted.

Soon, the leading Steward took out a piece of Qing Shi ancient stele, which was specially used to test cultivators' talent, and major sects all had similar treasures.

One by one, come.

No need for introduction; these Heavenly Prides know how to use this Qing Shi ancient stele and also know the requirements.

At minimum, one must reach earth-grade talent.

Soon, the Heavenly Prides lined up, one by one coming before the Qing Shi ancient stele to test their own talent.

Meanwhile, during the third round of testing, some Peak Masters and Elders of Dao Yi Shengdi also intentionally or unintentionally paid attention to what was happening here.

Although they did not show themselves, a sweep of Divine Sense caused no harm.

Junior Brother, how many do you think will pass this time?

On Zhu Feng, Shi Song, Tian Nong and others sat together drinking tea, idle and bored, casually asking.

Hearing that, Tian Nong gave a light reply.

About eighty percent.

I think it's not just that.

Several people could see that these young Heavenly Prides had solid foundations.

At least compared to some senior disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi, they were somewhat stronger.

This is greatly related to the cultivation environment of Zhongzhou, after all, the disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi nowadays all come from Dongzhou.

Compared to Zhongzhou, Dongzhou itself cannot match, and moreover these Heavenly Prides, among the younger generation in Zhongzhou, are outstanding individuals.

As expected, with the start of the examination, not a single Heavenly Pride was eliminated, and not one had talent below earth-grade.

Even heavenly-grade talent was not uncommon.

Placed in other sects, earth-grade talent would already be considered a little genius.

But here, earth-grade talent is as ordinary as it gets; without heavenly-grade talent, you'd be embarrassed to speak.

And the Heavenly Prides were quite composed about the examination results.

After all, they had already tested their talent in their families beforehand, so they knew exactly what rank it was.

Seeing that more than half of the Heavenly Prides had finished the examination, the Stewards' eyes also flashed with a strange color.

Really, not a single person was eliminated?

Indeed, that is the fact; after everyone finished the examination, all the Heavenly Prides present truly had not a single person eliminated.

Putting away the Qing Shi ancient stele, at that moment Hong Zun's figure descended from the sky and landed before the Heavenly Prides.

Greetings, Peak Master.

I have seen the Peak Master.

The Stewards and Heavenly Prides, seeing this, all clasped their hands in salute; Hong Zun nodded slightly, took a sip of wine, and with a drunken, sleepy look said.

Next is the final round of examination.

Saying that, Hong Zun casually flicked his wrist, and a stack of jade slips fell before the Heavenly Prides.

They recorded various tasks, not difficult; completing these tasks counts as success.

Time limit: three days.

Yes.

These tasks did not exceed the Heavenly Prides' abilities; perhaps some were difficult, but as long as they found a way, they could be completed.

So the Heavenly Prides also nodded respectfully.

After speaking, Hong Zun left directly, while the Heavenly Prides then proceeded one after another to complete the final examination.

Although there were many types of tasks, the Heavenly Prides dared not let their families help.

Although it seemed no one was noticing them, who knows what methods the holy land employs; having come this far, to fail because of that would be a loss not worth the gain.

Therefore, the Heavenly Prides tacitly all chose to rely on their own strength to complete the tasks.

In fact, this was also Hong Zun's purpose; on the jade slips, Hong Zun deliberately left his own aura.

Once any of these Heavenly Prides relied on their family's power behind them, he would immediately notice, and that person would thus lose qualification.

Son, what's wrong?

Qian Duo Duo, like the others, took a jade slip, left the holy land, and just stepped out of the Shanmen when Qian Tai Duo, with a worried face, came forward to meet him.

His expression complex, he thought, "This son couldn't have been eliminated, could he?"

Thinking of this, Qian Tai Duo couldn't help feeling disappointed inside, but on the surface he still forced himself to comfort.

Son, don't lose heart; even if you can't enter the holy land, with your talent other sects are perfectly fine, and there's still time—I'll take you to try other sects.

Who said I was eliminated? This is the final examination.

Hearing that, Qian Duo Duo raised the jade slip in his hand; seeing this, Qian Tai Duo was stunned, then gave an embarrassed laugh.

Heh, I knew my son would definitely succeed; you haven't disappointed Dad. By the way, what is this final examination?

There are evil spirits haunting Li Family Village; I must go eliminate them.

Huh???

Hearing that, Qian Tai Duo felt a bit dazed; "Isn't this the Entry Sect Examination? Why are they now assigning sect tasks?"

I've never heard of any sect arranging sect tasks during the Entry Sect Examination.

It's quite strange; for a moment he couldn't make sense of it, but Qian Tai Duo subconsciously said.

Just a mere evil spirit; once Dad lets the family's sacrificial offering make a move, it'll be done.

Dad, what are you thinking? This is the Entry Sect Examination; if you let others act, isn't that cheating for the son?

That's also true.

Alright, I'll go myself; Dad, you can relax.

"Well then."

The other Heavenly Pride also bade farewell to their families and then all rushed to the mission site.

Only the parents were left, looking at each other, wondering how the entry sect examination and sect missions could be connected.

They couldn't understand it, but since this was the decision of the holy land, they naturally dared not voice any objection; moreover, this was the final examination, so the parents also breathed a sigh of relief.

With their children's abilities, completing those missions should pose no problem; although some missions are rather tedious, they are not overly difficult.

No one could have imagined that the reason Hong Zun made such arrangements was entirely because the Mission Hall of Dao Yi Shengdi had blown up.

After all, after previously clashing with the demon race, Dao Yi Shengdi obviously had no one to undertake missions, yet the Mission Hall did not halt because of that.

Missions from various places kept pouring in; this time upon returning, Chen Ren's Mission Hall was already overwhelmed.

At Zhu Feng, Hong Zun arrived at the Mission Hall; seeing the situation, Chen Ren hurriedly asked.

"How is it, junior brother?"

"No need to say, everything's settled; now we should be able to relax a bit."

"Mm, if this batch of missions can be completed smoothly, it's indeed a great help."

"Don't worry, these missions aren't all ones we carefully selected, are they?"

The people Hong Zun selected were required to waste time first and yield little gain second; in other words, the effort and reward were not proportional—the kind of task that few holy land disciples would be willing to take.

The difficulty is not high, but it consumes a lot of time, and the sect points earned are extremely few—it can be said to be trash among trash.

However, Hong Zun bundled them all together and gave them to these Heavenly Pride disciples, which is essentially getting a free ride.

Having said that, Hong Zun looked at Chen Ren with a smile.

"Senior brother, don't forget your promise to me."

"No problem, it's just a meal slot; at that time I'll call you."

"Haha, then I'll be waiting for senior brother."
