"The mark of the Desolate Immortal can't be wrong!" replied Officer Wu with certainty.
"Even if the mark is correct, the Desolate Immortal disappeared for a long time and suddenly reappeared. We should investigate his background and not let him participate in the exam carelessly, right?"
You Xian continued. Gu Chen frowned when he heard You Xian's words.
Gu Chen didn't know what conflict this man had with the old chief, but he mocked and made things difficult for him the moment they met. Now, he was even making things difficult for Gu Chen, which was quite annoying!
"Well …" Officer Wu hesitated. You Xian was an experienced Heavenly Soldier, and he had the powerful Mirage Monsters behind him. He didn't want to offend him recklessly.
Although what he said was obviously targeted, it could not be said that it was without reason.
"You Xian, I suggest you stop making things difficult for Young Friend Gu." The old chief was calm, but there was a rare hint of mockery in his eyes.
"How is this making things difficult for him? I'm just playing it safe, "You Xian sneered.
The Desolate Heavenly General used to be extremely powerful, but that was a long time ago. Even if this young man was his heir, so what?
Besides, the ancestor of the Mirage Monsters wasn't as powerful as the Desolate Heavenly General, but he wasn't far behind. The Mirage Monsters were still powerful, but the Desolate Tribe had been unknown for many years.
To put it bluntly, this kid had no background at all!
After figuring that out, You Xian wasn't scared of this young brat at all, and he wanted to disgust the Barbarians by suppressing him.
"You Xian, Young Friend Gu was recommended by Lord Tang Ning in person. Are you sure you want to stop him from taking the exam?"
The old chief's expression suddenly turned cold, and his tone became heavier.
"Lord Tang Ning?"
When You Xian, who was initially fearless, heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
"Are you fooling me? Since when did Lord Tang Ning care about this? "he asked suspiciously.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. But if you make Lord Tang Ning unhappy because of this, you'll have to bear the consequences!" The old patriarch closed his eyes after he finished speaking, looking calm and composed.
This time, You Xian was at a loss. He understood this old barbarian very well, and he would never speak without thinking. Seeing how confident he was, could it be that this brat was really related to Lord Tang Ning?
After struggling for a moment, he finally did not dare to take the risk of offending Lord Tang Ning, so he smiled dryly.
"Forget it. It is a good thing that the Desolate Immortals have a descendant. This has nothing to do with the Old Man. Deacon Wu, you decide for yourself!"
He smiled awkwardly. It was obvious that he was trying to shirk responsibility and retreat. This caused many of the Brute Tribe's disciples and even Attendant Wu to feel contempt for him.
"If that's the case, I'll remember this little friend Gu's name."
Deacon Wu heaved a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to offend either side.
Gu Chen finished his registration and obtained the identity token to participate in the selection. Soon, the ten barbarian youths also finished their registration, and a group of people walked towards the examination venue.
"Old Chief, where did that group of people come from?"
Gu Chen asked on the way. If he hadn't used the name Tang Ning, his assessment would have gone through a lot of twists and turns.
"They are from the Mirage Tribe, descendants of Genjutsu from Ancient Heaven. This tribe has a lot of influence in the current Celestial Court. The guy leading them is called You Xian. When the Old Man was young, he had a conflict with him when he was still a Heavenly Soldier, so he always made things difficult for him. "
The old chief explained.
"Humph, that old thing is too arrogant. How dare he say that about you, Chief!" Long Ao said indignantly. Just now, You Xian's sarcasm to the old chief made them very angry.
"Because of some things, the Old Man finally left the Heavenly Army. That guy has been making progress in these years, so naturally he is a bit complacent."
The old chief shook his head and added. "If you want to avenge the Old Man, try to suppress those young Mirage Tribe people in the selection, especially that young man named You Xu. It is said that he is a rare genius of the Mirage Tribe in recent years. Long Yun, you can't lose to him."
Hearing this, Long Yun nodded solemnly. "Don't worry, Great-grandfather, I will definitely make you proud!"
As they spoke, they arrived at the examination venue. There were five towering gates of light in front of them, and the cultivators participating in the selection were walking through them.
"The selection for the Heavenly Soldier is extremely strict. The five gates are only the first test. It tests five aspects: strength, cultivation level, speed, agility, and mental power.
"Each light gate tests one ability, and these five abilities represent the foundation of a qualified Heavenly Soldier.
"Remember, each light gate has ten points. Only those with a high score of more than forty points can pass the basic test!"
The old chief introduced the rules of the test, and everyone immediately became nervous.
The selection for the Heavenly Soldier was indeed very strict. One had to score high in so many aspects to pass the basic test.
That was only the basic requirement. Who knew how difficult the later tests would be?
"Long Yun, you go first. With the Savage Tiger Immortal Body, it shouldn't be difficult for you to score fifty points."
The old chief instructed Long Yun, trying to encourage the other juniors with his success.
Long Yun nodded and seemed very serious. He closed his eyes and adjusted his state.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, looked at the five light gates curiously. The candidates seemed to have only walked through the light gates and didn't do anything else. He didn't know how the light gates scored them in so many aspects.
Everyone waited where they were. Soon, the Mirage Tribe people also arrived. At this moment, it was the Barbarian Tribe team's turn to take the test.
Long Yun opened his eyes and was about to stride into the five gates.
From the Mirage Tribe team, a young man also strode out at this moment and said to Long Yun with a smile. "You don't mind, do you?"
"Is that You Xu, the genius who is as famous as Cousin Long Yun?" Long Fang asked in a low voice. He clearly wanted to compete with them at this moment.
Gu Chen observed You Xu curiously. Although he looked similar to a human, he was only an illusion.
Under his Purple Extreme Eyes, You Xu's real body was like a puff of green smoke. He couldn't see it clearly and was very strange.
There was a saying in ancient times that mirages could be seen. This race was very strange.
"Of course."
Long Yun didn't back down in the face of You Xu's provocation and responded with a cold smile.
After saying this, he rushed into the light gate first.
You Xu followed closely behind. The two of them seemed to be competing with each other as they passed through the light gates at an extremely fast speed. In less than a moment, they had completed the test.
"Fifty points!"
"Fifty points!"
The scores of the two were soon displayed on the gate, and it immediately caused an uproar.
Both of them passed through the five gates in an extremely short amount of time and also got full marks. The two of them were evenly matched!
Long Yun's expression darkened slightly, and You Xu's face was also full of dissatisfaction.
"Looks like both of them have Immortal Physiques, and their levels are about the same. The Barbarian Tribe and the Mirage Tribe really have two good seedlings this time."
The examiners looked at the old tribe leader and You Xian with a smile.
It wasn't difficult to pass the five basic abilities of the first test, but to get full marks in all of them at such a fast speed, it meant that both of them had Immortal Physiques.
