Chapter 962

* Crack! *A clear shattering sound rang out from the counter. Soon after, the originally noisy surroundings immediately became silent. One could even hear a pin drop as everyone's gazes converged on the counter where Zhuo Wen was located.The testing crystal had actually shattered. This was something that had never happened in the past few days of testing."Is there a problem with the testing crystal on the counter?Or is it because of this young man? "After the silence, there was an uproar. Many people pointed at Zhuowen, who was standing in front of the counter, with strange gazes.Standing in the open space behind the counter, the cultivators who had passed the test also looked over. Among them, Yuansheng from the Alkaid Holy Dynasty smirked, revealing a trace of mockery.Blue Smoke from the Blue Whale Holy Dynasty narrowed his eyes. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking. The others also had strange expressions on their faces. After all, this was the first time they had seen a testing crystal shattering.Jia Nan and Gatha, the two siblings, looked worried. They didn't know whether the result of the testing crystal shattering was good or bad.Zhuo Wen sank into deep thought. The blood-red crystal contained an extremely strong power of slaughter. This power of slaughter was extremely beneficial to his cultivation of the Demonic Path of Slaughter.When his blood came into contact with the blood-red crystal, it resonated with the Demonic Massacre Path in his body. In addition to the tyrannical style of the Demonic Massacre Path, the slaughter energy in the crystal was directly absorbed by the Demonic Massacre Path in his body."What is the origin of this crystal?" Zhuowen wondered inwardly.* Boom! *A terrifying aura filled the air. Then, the tester standing in front of the counter stared coldly at Zhuowen and asked, "Let me ask you. What did you do just now?How did you cause the blood crystal to shatter? ""A Heavenly Venerable?"Zhuowen took several steps back and looked at the testing staff in front of the counter. His eyes revealed a trace of surprise. This Divine Academy was truly extraordinary. The testing staff they sent out was actually an Empyrean powerhouse.However, looking at the overbearing tester, Zhuo Wen said indifferently, "I'm just following your instructions and dripping my essence and blood into this crimson crystal. As for why the crimson crystal shattered, what does that have to do with me?Perhaps there's a problem with its quality. "Zhuowen naturally would not admit that the shattering of the blood crystal had something to do with him. After all, judging from the expression of the tester, the blood crystal should be very valuable. If he admitted it, the tester would definitely not let the matter rest. Hence, he could only use this as an excuse.The examiner narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "This didn't happen when the others were tested. Why did it shatter when it was your turn?If it's not you, who else could it be? "Seeing that the tester was unwilling to let him off, Zhuowen frowned and said, "I really don't know anything about the blood crystal. What do you want?"The tester sneered and said, "The blood crystal is something that I painstakingly obtained from Asura Island. Its value is immeasurable. However, since you are a newcomer, I'll charge you 055,555 high-grade spirit stones."Hua!As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the surroundings. Obviously, no one thought that this tester would demand such an exorbitant price. A small blood crystal actually cost 055,555 high-grade spirit stones. Wasn't this robbery?Of course, many people's eyes were filled with ridicule. After all, the one to compensate wasn't them, but Zhuowen, who had shattered the blood crystal."What a pitiful kid!" Yuansheng ridiculed from the open space behind the counter.Zhuo Wen's complexion turned unsightly. Five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones could buy a good-quality Emperor Level Spiritual Treasure. However, this tiny blood crystal could be compared to a Emperor Level Spiritual Treasure. Zhuo Wen knew that the tester was probably asking for an exorbitant price to extort him."Wu Sheng!I still have a blood crystal here. Why don't you use it first?Maybe there really was a problem with the blood crystal just now? "Suddenly, a gentle and warm voice was heard. Soon after, Cheng Dong had unknowingly arrived in front of the counter where Zhuo Wen was at. A similar blood crystal lay on his palm."So it's Senior Cheng Dong. However, this blood crystal was obtained by you. How could I dare to take it?" The tester named Wu Sheng quickly waved his hand and said.Cheng Dong shook his head and said, "Your blood crystal is broken, but the test will continue!Also, this little brother is a newcomer to the Academy. Blood crystals have always been extremely hard. I'm afraid that your blood crystal might really be an accident. "Hearing Cheng Dong's words, Wu Sheng could only agree. He took Cheng Dong's blood crystal and coldly stared at Zhuowen. "Continue the test?If this blood crystal breaks again, you won't be able to explain yourself even if you have a hundred mouths. ""Thank you so much, Senior Cheng Dong!"Zhuowen cupped his hands at Cheng Dong, but the latter waved his hand and laughed. "There's no need for that!After all, I was the one who brought you here. I can't just ignore it and be irresponsible. "Zhuowen nodded. He had a good impression of Cheng Dong. This person was upright, just, and not weak. Therefore, Zhuowen secretly remembered this favor."You're already calling me Senior Brother. Do you really think that you'll be able to enter the Academy?" Wu Sheng said indifferently.Zhuowen glanced at Wu Sheng indifferently and said, "You don't have to worry about that. Let's start the test now."Wu Sheng's expression was slightly sluggish. He looked at Zhuowen's indifferent attitude and said coldly, "Hmph!Let's start the test now. "As he spoke, Wu Sheng took Cheng Dong's blood crystal and placed it in front of Zhuowen. However, his gaze was fixed on Zhuowen. If the blood crystal broke again, he wouldn't mind killing this arrogant brat on the spot.Taking a deep breath, Zhuowen began to silently suppress the murderous demonic energy in his body. He then dripped a drop of blood on it. Immediately, the blood crystal emitted a blazing blood-red glow. However, it wasn't like the first time, where blood energy gushed out.The blood-red glow appeared for a while before it slowly receded and returned to its original state. Zhuowen said indifferently, "The blood crystal didn't break. Can you announce the results now?"Wu Sheng narrowed his eyes and snorted. "Twenty years old, middle stage Supreme-Being. Qualified!"The corners of Zhuowen's lips curled up. He walked past Wu Sheng and entered the empty space behind the counter to meet up with Jia Nan and Gatha.Cheng Dong glanced at Zhuowen's back. Being able to reach the middle stage Supreme-Being at the age of twenty, this brat's potential wasn't bad."Wu Sheng, continue the test. The blood crystal must have broken because of the blood crystal. I'll take my leave first." Cheng Dong said to Wu Sheng and walked towards the empty space behind the counter.However, Wu Sheng's face was filled with depression as he muttered to himself. Could it be that there was really a problem with his blood crystal?The empty space behind the counter was huge. There were thousands of cultivators standing in the empty space, chatting in groups of three to five. These people were all geniuses who had passed the foundational test.Cheng Dong's arrival caused everyone to stop chatting. Their eyes were bright as they stared at Cheng Dong. This Cheng Dong could be considered as one of the people in charge of the recruitment of new students this time around. Naturally, no one dared to slight him."First of all, congratulations to everyone for passing the foundational test. However, this is only the first stage of the recruitment, so everyone shouldn't be arrogant. There are still two more tests. The results of these two tests will determine whether you can enter the Divine Academy's Outer Court."As Cheng Dong spoke till here, he looked around and discovered that the majority of the people in the empty space had excited expressions on their faces. There were even some restless fellows who were itching to make trouble. A trace of satisfaction appeared on their faces."All of you should know that the Outer Court Recruitment Test will last for a total of seven days. However, these seven days are used to select qualified cultivators. This is the so-called foundational test. Therefore, the second stage of the test will only begin after the foundational test is over." Cheng Dong said faintly.As for the restless cultivators in the empty space, their faces fell. Right now, they were filled with self-satisfaction and wanted to proceed to the next stage of the test. However, Cheng Dong had actually said that they would have to wait for seven days before proceeding to the second stage of the test. In other words, they would have to wait for another four days.Seeing the disappointment on the faces of many cultivators, the corners of Cheng Dong's mouth curled up slightly as he continued, "Four days shouldn't be too long for you. You can wait here in the Candidate Area for four days. When the seven days are up, we will gather all the qualified cultivators together. At that time, we will divide them into groups."Everyone nodded. They knew that this was the rule set by the Divine Academy's recruitment. After all, the Outer Court wasn't recruiting just one or two people. They were recruiting from the entire Eastern Continent.Even if those who came were the top geniuses of various forces, the Eastern Continent was vast. Forces were like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and their numbers were numerous. Every force had sent a few geniuses to come. Many a little makes an ocean, and the number was terrifying.Fortunately, cultivators had excellent patience. Although there were a few who complained, the majority of the cultivators sat down cross-legged in the empty space after their disappointment. They wanted to use these four days to train and raise their own cultivation so that they could prepare for the next test.Cheng Dong said a few more words before leaving the place. He walked towards the testing plaza. After all, the test was still in progress, and he couldn't leave for too long."There are really many cultivators participating in the test this time. I'm afraid there are more than a hundred thousand, right?" Mo Lingtian said with a smile as he sat beside Zhuowen.Zhuowen didn't mind. He nodded and said, "However, I'm afraid that more than two thirds of the foundational tests will be eliminated. There should only be about thirty thousand people who can enter the second stage of the test. The elimination rate for the second and third stages is even more terrifying. At that time, the number of people who can enter the Outer Court will be very few."Mo Lingtian nodded in agreement and said, "The Divine Academy pursues the path of the elite. Just being a genius isn't enough. You must be a genius among geniuses to be able to stand out from the rest and enter the Inner Court.""However, I think that with Brother Zhuo's strength and potential, entering the Divine Academy shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?" Mo Lingtian asked with deep meaning.

* Crack! *

A clear shattering sound rang out from the counter. Soon after, the originally noisy surroundings immediately became silent. One could even hear a pin drop as everyone's gazes converged on the counter where Zhuo Wen was located.

The testing crystal had actually shattered. This was something that had never happened in the past few days of testing.

"Is there a problem with the testing crystal on the counter?
