After waiting for a short while, a young man led Ye Chen into another pavilion.
"Young Master Xiao, this is your assessment badge. Please hold it well."
The young man's tone was respectful as he said with a smile, "You haven't taken the Yuan Array Master assessment before, right?"
"Yes."
"Since that's the case, then you have to take the assessment from level one Yuan Array Master. If you successfully advance, then you can continue to take the assessment from level two Yuan Array Master, and so on." The young man smiled as he explained the assessment procedure.
"Alright then, I can only take it one by one." Ye Chen was startled, and then smiled helplessly. He thought he could directly take the assessment from level three Yuan Array Master.
After a short while, the two stopped in front of a large door. The young man bowed and said, "The assessment time is not up yet. Please wait for a moment, Young Master Xiao. When the time comes, there will be someone to inform you of the assessment."
Ye Chen nodded, pushed with his hand, and walked in with large strides.
After walking through the door, the glaring and dazzling lights illuminated the entire hall like it was daytime. At this time, there were already many people in the hall discussing in low voices. These people were mostly youths, and there were also some who were already Origin Formation Masters.
In the center of the hall, there were over twenty stone platforms. These stone platforms were a rare dark green color. They were smooth and exquisite, and there were many strange patterns carved on them. They were a little similar to array patterns.
"I see."
Ye Chen came to a realization. These stone platforms were cut with a type of stone called Array Origin Stone. It was a kind of stone that could easily bear the pressure of an Yuan Array. As for the patterns on it, it should be some kind of method to suppress the Yuan Array.
When the assessment began, Yuan Array Masters would set up Yuan Arrays on the stone platforms. If the Yuan Array could operate normally without collapsing, then the assessment would be successful.
As everyone knew, the higher the level of the Yuan Array, the more array patterns it required, and the larger the area it required. To be able to compress such a huge Yuan Array onto a small stone platform, it required the exquisite control of an Yuan Array Master.
At this time, there were young men walking into the hall one after another. Their eyes carried some arrogance, especially when they looked at Ye Chen, there was an obvious sense of ridicule.
A young man also came to join in the fun. He really had nothing better to do.
Ye Chen paid no attention to this. He walked to a corner and closed his eyes to meditate.
An hour later, the door was opened again, and a group of people strode in.
Immediately, everyone stood up and stared at the newcomer. All of them were looking at him with respect and jealousy.
This group of people were actually all Origin Array Masters, and the lowest among them was at the second-level. Ye Chen also noticed that there were two fourth-level Origin Array Masters in the crowd. One of them was Wu Zichuan, while the other was an old man. Based on the way the surrounding people addressed him, this old man was called Qin Yun, and he was the president of Blackwater City's Origin Array Master Association.
"Old Qin, where is Lin Chang Tian?
It's almost time for the assessment. "Wu Zichuan's gaze swept across the crowd. He tilted his head and frowned.
"Important figures usually appear at the end. Didn't Old Wu tell you that?"
Qin Yun looked at the impatient Wu Zichuan as a pleased expression appeared on his aged face.
Hearing this, Wu Zichuan curled his lips and said, "You've praised Lin Chang Tian so highly. If he falls, I'm afraid you'll have nowhere to put your old face."
Qin Yun smiled and turned his head. His gaze swept across the hall, and finally paused slightly. His gaze landed on Ye Chen, and he said with some surprise, "Zichuan, this is the Origin Array Genius that you were talking about?
Has he been weaned?
Do you want me to find a few nannies to help him fill his stomach first? "
Wu Zichuan's face darkened, and he said with some anger, "Old Qin, aren't you looking down on people too much?"
Looking at the gloomy Wu Zichuan, Qin Yun still had a smile on his face as he continued, "Old Wu, your talent in Origin Arrays is indeed very high, but your eye for people is obviously a little lacking. No matter how you look at it, that youth is only fifteen or sixteen years old. At this age, how high can his cultivation be? At most, he should be around the ninth level of the Martial Way."
"If your cultivation can't keep up, it will greatly affect the smoothness of setting up Origin Arrays. If your age can't keep up, your vision can't keep up. This won't do, that won't do. Even if you're lucky enough to become an Origin Array Master, you'll at most be at the first or second level.
Hearing these proud words, Wu Zhenzi's mood fell to the bottom.
This Qin Yun, besides being the president of the Black Water City Origin Array Master Guild, was also an inner sect elder of the Heavenly Yuan Sect. Back then, he had competed with Wu Zhenzi for the position of Grand Elder of the Heavenly Yuan Sect. After he was defeated by Wu Zhenzi, he lived in seclusion in Black Water City and did not care about worldly affairs.
Actually, Wu Zichuan knew that this Qin Yun had always been brooding over what had happened back then. He had always wanted to cultivate a shocking Origin Array Master to give Wu Zhenzi a hard slap in the face.
Therefore, when Wu Zichuan introduced Ye Chen, Qin Yun had immediately mocked him, clearly wanting to put Wu Zichuan on the spot.
"Zichuan, you also know that this kid, Lin Changtian, is extremely talented, powerful and has a good mouth. If he steals all the limelight later, you won't have much face left either. I suggest you take this kid and leave through the back door before the assessment starts."
As he spoke, Qin Yun purposely pointed at the back door, full of provocation. This made Wu Zichuan so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices.
"Old Qin, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Wu Zichuan said with a serious face, "If Lin Changtian wins this assessment, I'll give you three level four Origin Array Diagrams with both hands and admit that your eye for Origin Arrays is better than Master's."
"Then what if the kid you brought wins?"
Qin Yun was overjoyed. He believed that Lin Changtian would not lose at all. This bet had not even started and he had already won.
"Then let Lin Changtian follow me back to the Sky Yuan Sect."
"No problem!"
Qin Yun agreed without hesitation. He chuckled and said, "I'll win this bet for sure."
Looking at the two who were bickering in front of him, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly. No wonder Wu Zichuan wanted to bring him to the Yuan Array Master Guild. It turned out that he wanted to use him as a fighter to help Wu Zhenzi gain face.
At this moment, a slightly languid voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Old Qin, sorry I'm late."
The sudden voice made everyone turn to look at the source of the voice. Ye Chen realized that at least ninety percent of the youths in the hall had fawning smiles on their faces. Some of the girls were even clutching their chests, their eyes filled with infatuation.
Frowning, Ye Chen also turned to look curiously.
At the gate stood a tall and slender man. He was wearing a white robe, and his long hair was draped over his shoulders. What was even more shocking was his appearance. He was way too handsome, even more stunning than Lin Chuxue.
He was Lin Changtian.
"Brat, you're finally here."
Qin Yun personally walked over and sized him up. Then, he turned his gaze and pointed in Ye Chen's direction. He said loudly, "Do you see that kid in the corner?
As long as you defeat him today, I'll immediately pass the position of Origin Array Master Association president to you. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire place fell silent.
