Elder Jin and Elder Mo could clearly feel Elder Wu's body trembling. The two of them turned to look at Elder Wu.
"Elder Wu, what happened? Why did this kid only last for ten seconds?" Elder Jin asked.
Fang Chen's body had reached the level of a Four Star Dao Body. Just by relying on this powerful body, he should be able to last for a while in the illusion. But now, Fang Chen only lasted for ten seconds and came out. This was too unbelievable. Could it be that his strength was too low?
"Yeah, Elder Wu. You know best what happened to Fang Chen in the illusion." Elder Mo also asked hurriedly.
Looking at Fang Chen who had a calm expression on his face, Elder Wu's heart was filled with astonishment.
On the square, many of the nominal disciples were mocking Fang Chen, thinking that Fang Chen was too weak. But Elder Wu's eyes were filled with shock.
"He … He destroyed the shadow within ten seconds," Elder Wu said slowly as he tried his best to calm down the excitement in his heart.
Upon hearing Elder Wu's words, the few elders on the rostrum were completely dumbfounded. Their hearts were in a state of shock.
"Elder Wu, ten seconds? You didn't see wrongly, did you?" Elder Jin asked again. He couldn't believe Elder Wu's words.
Elder Wu nodded heavily and said: "I felt it very clearly. When he left the illusion, the illusion had already been destroyed."
Hearing Elder Wu's affirmation, Elder Jin and Elder Mo's eyes were burning with passion. They stared at Fang Chen who was below.
"Hahaha, this kid is mine."
After a long while, Elder Jin laughed wildly and said.
"No, this kid is very suitable for us martial arts. He is our disciple." Elder Wu refuted directly. What a joke, where can we find such an excellent disciple?
Defeating an Early Stage Condensing Reality Realm illusion within ten seconds. This kind of strength was comparable to a Mid Stage Condensing Reality Realm warrior.
Most importantly, Fang Chen was only at the peak of the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm.
"Old Wu, you snatched away one of my disciples last time. You should let me have it this time." Black lines appeared on Elder Jin's forehead as he spoke with some displeasure.
"The two of you, the assessment isn't over yet. What's the hurry? Let's talk about it after my Spirit Flow assessment is over," Elder Mo said slowly.
Elder Jin and Elder Wu looked at each other, then nodded and said, "That's right, he can't run away anyway. Let's wait until the Soul Stream test is over before we decide."
At the moment, the plaza was still filled with noise. Han He, who was leading the group, was constantly mocking Fang Chen. He believed that Fang Chen's strength was very weak and that everything he had said before was just a bluff.
However, just at that moment, Elder Han waved his hand and indicated for everyone to be quiet. Immediately, the noisy plaza quieted down.
Immediately after, Elder Han said, "The Martial Path assessment is over. Next is the last assessment, the Spirit Flow assessment. You must seize this opportunity."
Fang Chen, who was standing in the plaza, was a little confused when he heard Elder Han's words. He had clearly defeated the illusion. Could it be that this didn't count as passing?
However, Fang Chen only thought for a moment. Even if he couldn't enter the Martial Path, he could still enter the Physical Path. After all, it was the same no matter where he went. It was all about training and increasing his strength.
After a while, the Spirit Flow assessment began. The Spirit Flow assessment was slightly more difficult compared to the Martial Path assessment.
The standard for the Spirit Flow assessment was that one's soul had to reach the orange level.
As soon as this standard was announced, countless In-Name Disciples were disheartened. On the Martial Path, the soul was the hardest to train.
Although the In-Name Disciples area had the Sea of Soul and could allow them to train their souls, they didn't have a proper training system. Thus, their souls couldn't be improved.
The first to take the assessment was still Han He. He seemed to want to show that he was strong in all aspects, so he pushed his soul to the extreme right from the start.
But he was helpless. Although his soul was strong, it was still some distance away from reaching the orange level. He was miserably eliminated.
"Han He's soul has reached the peak of the red level. What a pity." Elder Mo shook his head slightly.
It seemed that their Spirit Flow would once again be unable to find new disciples.
Originally, there were very few Spirit Flow disciples. If this continued, there wouldn't be any new blood. That way, the Spirit Flow wouldn't be able to develop.
Following Han He's assessment, every In-Name Disciple went up to take the assessment. However, their souls weren't too strong. After a round of assessment, the strongest was only at the late stage red level.
Not long after, the Soaring Dragon Marquis also finished his assessment. His soul had also reached the late stage red level, and he hadn't passed.
Finally, it was Fang Chen's turn. When he stood in front of the assessment stone tablet, the three Elders' eyes brightened. They carefully examined Fang Chen.
"I wonder how high this kid's attainments in the soul are." Elder Wu grinned.
"My guess is that his attainments in the soul aren't too high. After all, his physical body and martial path are both extremely strong. That's already very outstanding. His soul is probably his weak point," said Elder Jin.
Elder Mo hadn't said anything the entire time. He narrowed his eyes as he stared at Fang Chen. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Fang Chen stood in front of the stone tablet. His soul left his body and directly entered the stone tablet. Immediately, a red light appeared on the stone tablet. That meant that Fang Chen's soul had reached the red level.
As time passed, the red light on the stone tablet grew denser and denser. In the end, the red light completely covered the stone tablet.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked. This kind of soul was at least at the peak of the red level.
At this time, Han He's heart was filled with an unpleasant feeling. He had been suppressed by Fang Chen in the first assessment. This time, he had thought that he would definitely be able to suppress Fang Chen in terms of soul. But he hadn't expected Fang Chen's soul to also reach the peak of the red level.
"Damnit!" cursed Han He.
When the three Elders on the platform saw that Fang Chen's soul had reached the peak of the red level, their faces were filled with shock.
Of course, the one who was most shocked was Elder Mo. He also hadn't expected Fang Chen's soul to reach such a level.
"Can it turn orange?" asked Elder Mo inwardly.
At this time, the red light completely covered the stone tablet. Just when everyone thought that this was the peak of Fang Chen's soul, the red light on the stone tablet suddenly began to change.
Hiss!
At the beginning, there was a little bit of orange within the red light. No one noticed it. But later, the red light gradually turned orange.
Seeing this scene, everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.
"Orange light. Could it be that his soul has also reached the orange level?"
"How is that possible? His physical body has reached the four-star Dao Body, and even his soul has reached the orange level. Is he a genius?"
"The red light has already disappeared. It's all orange. This is too inconceivable."
Many of the nominal disciples exclaimed in shock.
At this time, Han He's face was ashen. His heart was filled with anger as he looked at the stone tablet. No words could express his anger.
"How is that possible? How can his soul have reached the orange level?" Han He had always thought of himself as a genius. Therefore, he believed that he was the undisputed number one in the nominal disciple area.
However, this Fang Chen had only been in the nominal disciple area for a short period of time. Not only did he suppress Han He's physical body, he even suppressed Han He's soul. Han He couldn't accept this.
"Hahaha, as expected. He really is a genius."
When Fang Chen stopped the test, the orange color on the stone tablet faded and returned to normal. At this time, Elder Mo laughed wildly.
"Genius, he really is a genius. I've been in charge of the Martial Style for so many years. He is the most powerful genius I've seen in the past few decades."
"That's right. A genius disciple like him will definitely become a core disciple of the Barren Sect in the future. My Physical Body Style will definitely have him."
"Three Elders, why don't you wait for me to announce the results before fighting for this disciple?" Elder Han grinned.
"Alright, hurry up and announce it." Elder Jin hurriedly said.
Elder Han stood on the platform and looked down. He then loudly said, "Only Fang Chen has passed the Spirit Style test."
"This time, there are a total of three disciples who passed the test. Han He passed the Physical Body Style and Martial Style tests. As for Long Teng, he passed the Martial Style test. As for Fang Chen …" When Elder Han mentioned Fang Chen, he didn't continue.
"Long Teng, from today onwards, you are a disciple of my Martial Style. I'll bring you back in a bit." After Elder Han finished his announcement, Elder Wu looked at Long Teng with a smile.
The surrounding nominal disciples looked at Long Teng with endless envy. From today onwards, he would become an official disciple.
The difference between a nominal disciple and an official disciple was just too great.
"Han He, you've passed two tests. Which school do you want to join?" Elder Jin looked at Han He and asked.
On the platform, Elder Jin and Elder Wu argued for a while before finally coming to an agreement. They asked for Han He's opinion, and he could join whichever school he wanted.
Hearing this, Han He began to ponder.
"Senior brother Han He is indeed worthy of being called the strongest amongst us nominal disciples. He was actually able to be recruited by the leaders of two major schools at the same time."
"That's right. Senior brother Han He's attainments in the Martial Way and Physical Body Style are extremely strong."
"It won't be long before senior brother Han He becomes a core disciple of the Barren Sect."
"Is there anyone who dares to bet with me on which school senior brother Han He will join?"
Many nominal disciples discussed spiritedly.
After pondering for a long time, Han He raised his head, looked at the two Elders and said, "I'm willing to join the Martial Style."
Hearing Elder Han He's words, Elder Wu grinned and laughed. In an instant, there were two more disciples.
