Today's second chapter is over. There will be another chapter in the afternoon!

Wang Zhuo was also stunned by the scene in front of him. It took him a long time to recover. The arrogance in his heart had subdued a lot.
At this time, a few more rainbow swords appeared. After each sword light dissipated, a Heng Yue Sect disciple would appear. Beside them, without exception, were a few 15-16 year old youths.
There were both men and women. The moment they landed, they were all like Wang Lin's group. They stared blankly at the scene in front of them with different expressions on their faces.
The Heng Yue Sect disciples that brought everyone here stood not far away, talking to each other and looking at these youths.
After waiting for a while, all the youths that had been recommended had arrived. At this time, the black-clothed middle-aged man glanced at the crowd and said without any emotion, "Among you, only a few will be selected to become my Heng Yue Sect disciples."
All of the youths were scared out of their wits. Wang Lin was very nervous. He counted a total of 48 people.
"Cultivation, the first test is talent. The next test is to see if your spirit roots are sufficient.
Now, whoever I call, come forward. "The middle-aged man was expressionless as he casually pointed at a youth.
The youth's legs trembled as he carefully walked forward. The middle-aged man placed his hand on the youth's head and said, "Not qualified. Stand on the left."
The youth seemed to have lost all his strength. His expression was bleak as he walked to the left without saying a word.
Then another youth was pointed at and nervously walked forward.
"Not qualified."
"Not qualified."
"Not qualified."
More than ten people in a row were all not qualified. Until now, there was not a single person on the right of the middle-aged man.
Wang Zhuo was pointed at. The arrogance on his face disappeared and his face was pale as he walked forward.
After the middle-aged man placed his hand on Wang Zhuo's head, he suddenly revealed a happy expression and said in a gentle tone, "What is your name?"
Wang Zhuo quickly respectfully said, "Reporting to Supreme Immortal, this junior is Wang Zhuo."
The middle-aged man nodded and smiled. "So you are the Wang Zhuo that Martial Uncle Daoxu mentioned. En, stand on the right."
Wang Zhuo was overjoyed. Under everyone's envious gaze, he walked to the right. His eyes were filled with arrogance as he looked at everyone with contempt.
Wang Hao curled his lips and said to Wang Lin in a low voice, "Dammit, he really got lucky."
Wang Lin became even more nervous. His parents' expectant gaze appeared in his mind, and he clenched his fists.
"Not bad, you also go to the right side and stand properly." The middle-aged man's pleasantly surprised voice sounded. In front of him was a young girl.
It didn't take long for most of the youths to be tested. However, there were only two people standing to the right of the middle-aged man.
Next, Wang Hao was chosen.
Wang Hao jogged along until he was in front of the middle-aged man. Without waiting for him to be tested, Wang Hao immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times. He shouted, "Upper Immortal, enjoy immortal happiness forever, and live as long as the heavens. Little Wang Hao, testing so many people must be very tiring. Why don't you take a break?
I'm not in a hurry. It's fine. "
The middle-aged man laughed involuntarily. He had tested so many people, and all of them had a nervous look on their faces. Only this young man in front of him looked like a tiger and was the smartest. He even started to flatter the middle-aged man.
He pressed his hand on Wang Hao's forehead and shook his head. "My talent is a bit lacking, no …"
When Wang Hao heard that his talent was lacking, his heart immediately fell to the bottom. Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, he immediately took out a jade box, handed it over with both hands, and cleverly said, "Upper Immortal, my father found this in the mountains by chance. He tried many times but couldn't open it, so I brought it from home to give to Upper Immortal."
The middle-aged man shook his head and was about to refuse, but when his eyes swept over the jade box, his pupils suddenly shrank. He grabbed it and carefully looked at it. His face immediately lit up and he said, "Not bad, it's actually a 300-year-old lingzhi mushroom. Looking at this jade box, it should have been sealed by a cultivator. No wonder your father couldn't open it."
He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm lacking an apprentice alchemist by my side. I see that you're quite clever, are you willing to be my apprentice?"
Wang Hao was immediately pleasantly surprised. The ups and downs made him extremely excited. He loudly said, "Yes, Upper Immortal, I'm willing."
The middle-aged man nodded with a smile and said, "If you become my alchemist, I won't mistreat you. You can practice the sect's celestial spells like the other disciples. You can stand on the right side."
Wang Hao was very excited. He ran to the right side and proudly stared at Wang Zhuo.
All of the losers had fake expressions on their faces. They were all dejected, and some of them even had tears streaming down their faces.
The middle-aged man frowned and shouted, "Those who are crying, send them away!"
A few of the Heng Yue Sect disciples standing not far away immediately walked out and grabbed a few people who were crying. They casually stepped on their swords and quickly disappeared.
The middle-aged man casually pointed at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin took a deep breath and nervously walked next to the middle-aged man. His mind was blank as he silently prayed in his heart. He couldn't help but think of his parents' hopeful eyes.
"I will definitely be chosen!" Wang Lin firmly thought.
The middle-aged man expressionlessly said three words that made Wang Lin feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Not qualified!"
Wang Lin didn't know how he arrived at the left side of the line. He only felt as if his ears had been struck by thunder. His ears were filled with those three words.
Not long after, everyone was tested. There were only three people standing on the right side. In the eyes of the losers, these three people were like heaven's proud sons and daughters.
Wang Zhuo looked at Wang Lin with disdain. There was no doubt in his eyes that he was mocking him.
"Although talent is important in cultivation, perseverance is even more important. You youths with ordinary talent, if you have perseverance, you can also become honorary disciples!
The second test is perseverance! "
The middle-aged man's face was expressionless. He paused for a moment and then said, "Follow these steps up. Those who reach the top are qualified. If you still can't complete it by the third day, you will fail. The losers will be sent back to your respective families.
If you can't hold on halfway or encounter danger, loudly shout 'give up' and someone will come to take you away. "
After he finished speaking, the middle-aged man smiled at the three people on the right and said, "You guys come with me to see the sect head. When the time comes, he will arrange for your teacher. Wang Hao, you don't need to go. Come with me to the alchemy room and familiarize yourself with it."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he took the three geniuses up the mountain and disappeared.
Wang Lin took a deep breath. His eyes were filled with determination. Without hesitation, he walked up the stone steps and began the second test, perseverance.
Excluding the three geniuses and the six youths who were sent away because they were crying, there were 39 people left.
Among these 39 people, there were those who were dejected, those who were determined, and even those who were afraid. All of them gradually stepped onto the steps and walked out of their own futures.
