Chapter 794: Chapter 686: Assessment? Of Course, I, Tang Heishou, Have the Final Say (Long Chapter)
Only a morning had passed, and the assessment for the hundreds of thousands from the Human Race and Alien Race had already concluded.
The time to “release the rankings” was next—Comprehension, temperament, and other evaluations were conducted within an Array, and these people were unaware of their scores.
But from good to bad, it was quite evident on their faces.
That cluster of top-tier geniuses, wearing confident smiles.
Talent, they were one in ten thousand.
Cultivation, they were the very top among the several hundreds of thousands of contenders.
Comprehension, they had read some profound books.
Temperament, elders in their tribes had once conducted similar training on them.
They believed themselves to be the ‘predetermined’ Inner Sect candidates, only unsure how many spots were available in the Tao Sect’s Inner Sect. If there were many, others might still have a chance, if few, then they could only apologize.
Some top-tier geniuses looked towards other talented individuals, smiles on their lips as they declared war across the void.
They didn’t have to wait long,
Soon, a beam of light shot into the sky, exploding to form a giant screen of light.
On the light screen, there were densely packed names.
At the top, a small section for those who had entered the Inner Sect.
Below, were those who had made it into the Outer Sect.
Inner Sect 800, Outer Sect 3000!
A powerhouse glanced and immediately saw the numbers.
Candidates below scanned nervously over each name.
Those completely devoid of any cultivation were in the extreme minority; most people’s eyes moved quickly.
As they read line by line, those who saw their own names let out uncontrollable cries of joy.
╰(*°▽°*)╯!
Tao Sect, a Holy Land for the Human Race, becoming a member of the sect disciples was tantamount to having one foot in the heavens!
The light screen listed names according to the results, and behind each name were corresponding grades.
“Lin Zixiao, talent assessment, Grade A; comprehension assessment, Grade A; temperament assessment, Grade A… eligible for Inner Sect Disciple.”
“Li Erniu, talent assessment, Grade B; comprehension assessment, Grade B; temperament assessment, Grade A… eligible for Inner Sect Disciple.”
“Xiao Dong, talent assessment, Super Grade; comprehension assessment, Grade A; temperament assessment, Grade A… eligible for Inner Sect Disciple.”
“Yang Yue, talent assessment, Grade D; comprehension assessment, Super Grade; temperament assessment, Super Grade… eligible for Inner Sect Disciple.”
…
“Tang Richen, talent assessment, Grade B; comprehension assessment, Grade C; temperament assessment, Grade B… eligible for Outer Sect Disciple.”
“Hong Bin, talent assessment, Grade A; comprehension assessment, Grade B; temperament assessment, Grade C… eligible for Outer Sect Disciple.”
…
As time passed, cries of joy gradually decreased, and the atmosphere turned oppressive; pairs of bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at the sky-bound list, scanning every word.
They read it ten times, twenty times!
This was the first time in their lives, and perhaps the only chance to rise like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, yet it seemed… to have nothing to do with them!
They couldn’t find their names!
“It’s impossible, how can my name not be there!”
A young man clawed at his forehead, scratching until his hair was disheveled as he muttered, scanning the list over and over, his face gradually taking on a look of despair.
A Stepping Void powerhouse standing beside him frowned deeply, “Cheng, did you perhaps write your name wrong when registering?”
Even they couldn’t believe that their clan’s most outstanding disciple hadn’t even been selected as an Outer Sect Disciple.
But he looked closely, on that list of names, not even a similar one was present.
It was impossible to mistake Zhang San for Li Si, right?
Cheng Yuankui desperately searched, catching a glimpse of a few vaguely familiar names.
In his mind, he recalled the scenes during the assessment of cultivation and age.
Yang Yue, twenty years old, cultivation none.
Cultivation, that which came naturally without any Cultivation Skill, was also called cultivation.
What potential could a person who hadn’t awakened even by the age of twenty have?
“I refuse to accept this, even those without cultivation can be in the Inner Sect, I, a genius who reached Awakening Tier Perfection, why don’t I even have a spot? I won’t accept this, there must be some foul play during the registration of results!”
He wasn’t foolish enough to directly accuse Tao Sect’s entrance examination of foul play, but instead targeted those ‘temps’ who registered the results and names.
However, Yan Dingtian’s face turned rather unsightly.
What do you mean? I, old Yan, managed a project alone for once, no matter that it was just for half a day, no matter that all the assessment criteria actually had nothing to do with me…
But you say there’s foul play, even if not directly pointing at me, old Yan, at least it implies that under my management, there were problems.
Outer Sect elder Yan Dingtian snorted disdainfully:
“Stop your senseless shouting! Not satisfied, is it? If you’re feeling aggrieved, then this elder will show you the rubbish results you have scored!”
Yan Dingtian’s sharp gaze swept over Cheng’s youthful face, snorting coldly.
Being also of the Unity Realm, he didn’t show any aura, simply his gaze alone caused Cheng Yuankui to retreat several steps, his face turning pale.
But Cheng Yuankui clenched his teeth and held his ground.
He didn’t believe,
didn’t believe that he, who had been a genius since childhood and in no way inferior to geniuses of the Alien Race;
he, who had cultivated to Awakening Tier Perfection by the mere age of twenty-six;
he, whom the elders in his tribe had said had a high probability of Breaking Realm to enter Stepping Void before fifty;
couldn’t even pass a mere entrance examination?
It must be foul play!
It was the work of those ‘temps,’ those Outer Sect officials, his unafraid defiance, vigorous resistance—perhaps it might catch the attention of the higher-ups of Tao Sect, those real big shots.
The Sect Master, elders of the Inner Sect, might thus take note of him and take him as a disciple.
The more Cheng Yuankui thought about it, the more excited he became; from this angle, he might even have to thank those involved in the foul play.
