The assessment began!
The first stage was mining. To the miners, this was very simple.
Without the help of the Little Blue Dragon, Yang Tian passed within the stipulated time. Out of the thousands of miners who participated in the assessment, 3,000 passed.
In the second stage, 3,000 people ran around the mountain path of the mine. The first 500 people to complete a lap would enter the next round of assessment. The rest would be eliminated.
The entire mine was hundreds of kilometers wide. It was not easy to run around the mountain path of the mine.
This stage mainly tested one's endurance.
The Hui 'e Family did not only have this mine. Every three years, more than ten mines like this would be assessed at the same time.
During the assessment process, the Hui 'e Family would naturally send professionals to take care of it.
The management of the mine was good at managing the miners, but to find someone with some cultivation aptitude … forget it!
From this assessment, it could be seen that the humans in this world had good physiques.
If it was not for the quota, at least half of the people could complete the task of running one lap.
Every assessment took three days. During these three days, the miners did not have to work. It was equivalent to three days off.
Although most of the people did not sign up, they gathered in the middle of the mine to watch the excitement. Some of them even started betting on how many stages the participants could pass or who would win in the end.
Those who paid extra for the registration would naturally receive preferential treatment.
Yang Tian received a day of rest and a few nutritious meals.
After a good rest and a full meal, he naturally had more energy to participate in the assessment.
Yang Tian passed the second stage easily.
After coming to this world, although he had lost most of his strength, his physique was still much stronger than the ordinary humans in this world.
The third stage tested one's strength.
The people sent down from above placed a black stone lock the size of a basket in the field. As long as the participants could lift it and walk ten steps, they would pass the assessment.
More than half of the participants were eliminated in this stage. Only 155 people passed. Yang Tian was naturally among the 100 people.
According to Yang Tian's estimation, this stone lock was about 250 to 600 pounds.
The fourth stage tested one's cultivation aptitude and specialty.
As for cultivation talent, Yang Tian and the others didn't need to do anything. They just needed to stand there.
Then, a few middle-aged men were sent down to touch Yang Tian and the others' arms, shoulders, and calves.
Yang Tian guessed that it was probably examining the muscles, bones, and other conditions.
In terms of cultivation talent, more than half of the people were eliminated. In the end, only ten people passed.
What surprised Yang Tian was that he was actually thought to have no talent for cultivation!
These people in charge of the assessment really had no foresight!
Yang Tian thought.
Yang Tian had no doubt that he could become a powerhouse.
Yang Tian and the Little Blue Dragon looked at each other, then said to a tall middle-aged man in a black robe, "I have a specialty."
"What's his specialty?" the black-robed middle-aged man asked.
Yang Tian said, "I know runes."
As soon as Yang Tian's voice fell, the black-robed middle-aged man laughed, "Knowing runes isn't as simple as knowing them. You have to combine them to produce power."
"No problem." Yang Tian replied very confidently.
In terms of runes, Yang Tian believed that no one could compare to the strange program.
Even the rune masters of this world definitely couldn't compare to the strange program.
What the strange program lacked now was only rune information.
In Yang Tian's universe world, the rune information that appeared was definitely not as rich as this world.
From the collar on Yang Tian's neck, the strange program had collected many runes that it had never read before.
Seeing Yang Tian's confident appearance, the black-robed middle-aged man's eyes showed a look of doubt.
Because it was almost impossible for a person who knew runes to wander to the mining area and become a lowly miner.
The black-robed middle-aged man was silent for a while, then said to Yang Tian, "Alright then, prove it to me.
If you really have talent in runes, the Hui Family definitely won't let you go to waste. "
"How do I prove it?" Yang Tian asked.
The black-robed middle-aged man said, "Do as you see fit!"
The most direct method was to remove the collar on the neck.
This wouldn't take much time, but Yang Tian thought for a while and decided not to do such a shocking thing.
The collars on the necks of the miners were definitely designed by an expert. If he removed it so easily, the Hui Family would definitely be shocked, and then suspect that … what happened next would be out of Yang Tian's control.
It was better to just show off a little.
"Do you have a rune pen?" Yang Tian nodded and asked.
The black-robed middle-aged man shook his head, "I don't know runes, so naturally I don't have a rune pen."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the other five companions.
The five of them also shook their heads.
Yang Tian said, "Then return my storage bracelet to me, my rune pen is inside."
The middle-aged man nodded and glanced at the manager beside him.
The manager immediately turned and left. Half an hour later, he took Yang Tian's storage bracelet and the bug brain pendant and returned them to Yang Tian.
Storage tools seemed to be very difficult to decipher in this world. Otherwise, these things wouldn't have been left behind until now.
The manager had been gone for so long, so he probably found them after rummaging through the storeroom for a long time.
It was good that these things weren't lost. Yang Tian couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Yang Tian hung the bug brain pendant around his neck and the three storage bracelets on his wrists.
Seeing that Yang Tian actually had three storage bracelets, the black-robed middle-aged man was slightly surprised.
This was because storage bracelets weren't something that ordinary people could obtain.
The black-robed middle-aged man was a little suspicious of Yang Tian's identity.
However, the situation in the mining area was complicated. The mine owners in charge of the mining area bribed people for profit. As long as they could mine and didn't threaten the safety of the mining area, they didn't care who they bought or who they used to be.
Under everyone's curious gazes, Yang Tian took out the rune pen that High Priest Tai Yu had given him from his storage bracelet.
This rune pen was made of a special material, so it wasn't damaged after it was taken out.
It was fine as long as it could be used. Yang Tian then walked to the black stone lock that he had used to test his strength on.
Since he was free to do as he pleased, Yang Tian communicated with the strange program in his mind and came up with a plan.
With the strange program controlling his body, it took more than half an hour for Yang Tian to carve runes of various sizes on the black stone lock.
After he was done, Yang Tian put away the rune pen in his storage bracelet and turned to the black-robed middle-aged man with a smile. "It's done."
The black-robed middle-aged man walked forward and grabbed the stone lock by its handle, lifting it up easily.
Peng!
After fiddling with it for a while, the black-robed middle-aged man casually threw the stone lock on the ground and smiled. "Not bad!
You've reduced its weight by a third. "
Then, the black-robed middle-aged man immediately said, "However, this method won't let you pass my test."
"Your test?" Yang Tian was surprised.
"That's right!"
The black-robed middle-aged man said, "I have the final say in this mining area's test. If I say no, it means no."
"Then give me your test!
Let's see if I can do it. "Yang Tian said helplessly.
Yang Tian understood that the man in front of him was deliberately making things difficult for him.
This could be because the man didn't like him, but it could also be because he wanted to force out his potential and see how deep his attainments in runes were.
The black-robed middle-aged man smiled and pointed at the mountaintop in front of them. "If you can make it disappear from my sight, then you pass."
He wanted Yang Tian to set up an illusion formation.
"No problem!"
These words weren't spoken by Yang Tian, but by the strange program in his mind to Yang Tian.
Yang Tian nodded and walked toward the short mountain a kilometer away.
