Chapter 892: Chapter 889: Terrifying Three Rounds_1
Often times, the Thirty-six Eastern Counties were not the only ones being ridiculed. Every place has its regional advantages, which create a sense of regional superiority in many martial artists.
For example, Cangbei County and Wood Dragon County, located in the Western Region, are ridiculed by other regions in the West because they are close to the Thirty-six Eastern Counties, lack spiritual energy, and have insufficient resource supply.
Yang Chen was initially puzzled, but after thinking about it, he understood that although Wood Dragon County was classified as the Western Region, it was actually a border area. It couldn’t be compared with the prosperous areas in the Western Region.
If it could be compared, then the people of Wood Dragon Main City would not have fought with the Green Lotus Sect for a vein of spiritual energy.
Yang Chen sighed as he took in everything around him. Indeed, every household had some unspeakable sorrows.
“So it’s someone from Cangbei County.”
“Hehe, it’s their branch. I heard they were humiliated at the Clan Gathering last time. I wonder if they have forgotten about it after so many years.”
“I thought the branch from Cangbei County would have forgotten about it.”
Many martial artists were like this. They often whispered gossip and ridiculed others to show off themselves and find a sense of superiority when they had nothing to do.
Of course, most people were smart when ridiculing others, but some were not.
“Hehe, Cangbei County is so close to the Thirty-six Eastern Counties, it’s normal for them to be trash. It would be strange if they weren’t. I think this branch is mostly decayed. They should just be removed from the Bai Family.”
A pointy-mouthed monkey-cheeked elder sneered.
As these words fell, people looked over with interest.
The people of the Eastern Branch of the Bai Family immediately became unhappy: “What do you mean? What’s wrong with our Thirty-six Eastern Counties? It seems like you have an issue with our Thirty-six Eastern Counties?”
The pointy-mouthed monkey-cheeked elder wanted to say something, but he quickly remembered Yang Chen’s strength. Yang Chen had reached the sixth level of the True Martial Realm, which greatly bolstered the reputation of the Thirty-six Eastern Counties. What could he say now? Calling others trash would only slap his own face.
This made the pointy-mouthed monkey-cheeked elder mutter, “A small person getting lucky. A trash region finally produced a genius, never seeing the world before.”
The muttering was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly, but they all knew that the pointy-mouthed monkey-cheeked elder had no confidence. The Eastern Branch of the Bai Family was too lazy to argue with him.
The martial artists of other branches were at a loss for words after the pointy-mouthed monkey-cheeked elder’s incident. If it were in the past, the Thirty-six Eastern Counties were indeed weak, so there was nothing wrong with ridiculing Cangbei County and Wood Dragon County. But now, a good seedling had emerged from the Thirty-six Eastern Counties.
Of course, although this was the case, no one wanted to admit it. Everyone’s inherent sense of superiority had not disappeared. They just felt that the Thirty-six Eastern Counties had produced a good talent by chance.
The elder called Bai Qinghao, now somewhat grateful to the Thirty-six Eastern Counties, stepped out amidst the gossip and entered the first round of assessments, the Transforming Dragon Pool.
Bai Qinghao didn’t hesitate in the slightest, inhaling deeply, knowing that hesitation would only waste his own time. He jumped into the Transforming Dragon Pool all at once.
As soon as Bai Qinghao jumped into the Transforming Dragon Pool, accompanied by a waterfall rushing down, large bubbles immediately began to emerge. The bubbling continued for more than ten breaths, and the people of the Bai Family Main Branch looked at each other and made a judgment.
“Bai Qinghao, fourth-class talent, unqualified, zero points.” Bai Tianheng said indifferently.
The assessment rules were simple.
Either you qualified and scored at least five points.
If not, zero points.
Bai Qinghao obviously didn’t meet the qualifications, and his fourth-class talent was still unqualified. While many people ridiculed him, some began to ponder.
What was a fourth-class talent? After all, different regions had different divisions. After all, a fourth-class talent, which was unqualified in the eyes of the Bai Family, might be considered a great talent in other regions.
Hearing that he was unqualified and scored zero points, Bai Qinghao couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss. He clenched his teeth but eventually could only sigh deeply before entering the second round of assessments, the Golden Armor Hall.
Entering the Golden Armor Hall was different from the first round of assessment. In the first round, everyone could see the process. However, the outer part of the Golden Armor Hall was tightly sealed off, making it impossible to see the internal spatial environment, leaving only speculation.
No one knew what had happened inside the Golden Armor Hall when Bai Qinghao entered.
As time gradually passed, after about half an hour, a sudden bang sounded from the Golden Armor Hall.
Bai Tianheng held a mirror in his hand, which seemed to let him know what was happening inside the Golden Armor Hall. When the bang sounded, Bai Tianheng glanced at the mirror and slowly said, “Bai Qinghao failed the second round, Golden Armor Hall, unqualified, zero points!”
After Bai Tianheng’s words fell, Bai Qinghao walked out in embarrassment from the Golden Armor Hall, staring around with wide eyes, obviously feeling a bit lost. Looking at his purple lips, it wasn’t hard to guess that he had suffered some pain and torture in the Golden Armor Hall.
More and more people speculated and were increasingly curious about what was inside the Golden Armor Hall.
However, everyone could basically see that these three-round assessments must have some tricks. Fewer and fewer people were ridiculing and laughing at Bai Qinghao, and those who were left were mostly average themselves.
“Bai Qinghao, the third round is Miscellaneous Assessments. You have half an hour for the Miscellaneous Assessments. Within half an hour, you must show your abilities in miscellaneous skills to several of us. If you have that ability, you can use anything you want. If not, just forfeit.” Someone from the Bai Family Main Branch shouted.
Bai Qinghao was full of passion, wanting to turn the tables in the third round, but unfortunately, he hadn’t learned any miscellaneous skills. He had only focused on the martial arts path in his daily life, so where could he have learned those?
When it came to the third round, Bai Qinghao stared blankly for a while, and finally reluctantly muttered, “I forfeit!”
Seeing Bai Qinghao forfeit, Bai Tianheng said, “Bai Qinghao forfeits, unqualified in the third round of miscellaneous assessments, zero points. Total points for Bai Qinghao’s three rounds, zero points!”
Hearing the zero-point result, Bai Qinghao’s whole body shuddered, and other martial artists also shuddered, feeling cold air rushing out of their bodies.
Bai Qinghao was a pretty good martial artist, after all. Initially, everyone thought that even if he did poorly in the three rounds, one person would score at least ten points to pass. But now, it seems that ten points are not that easy to come by.
