The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 817

The disciple then gave Austin another sheet of blank examination paper.

Without any hesitation, Austin quickly wrote down on it the required information for all the remaining dozens of the basic elixirs.

He checked the two sheets of the examination paper again before handing them back to the Magic Hand Sect disciple who had given it to him.

The disciple stared at the two sheets of the examination paper which had been fully filled with answers with widened eyes. Austin's speed and efficiency in filling in them stunned him to the extreme.

Each applicant would have ten minutes to fill in the things that were needed. But Austin just spent half of it to complete all his answers!

The disciple raised his eyes to look at the young man in front of him, an expression of astonishment still hanging on his face. Austin, however, walked out of the Isolation Array in a calm manner, paying no attention to the disciple's face that was full of curiosity.

All the remaining applicants walked into the Isolation Array for the test one after another.

Time passed quickly and soon, all the applicants had already taken their turns and finished their tests in order.

Fitch, Len and Lind then stepped into the Isolation Array to assess all the examination papers submitted by the applicants.

Another half an hour passed. Everyone held their breaths in anticipation.

Finally, the three walked out of the Isolation Array.

They all looked stunned, as if something impossible had happened.

Fitch held a name list in his hand. He unfolded it in a stern manner and began to announce the names of the applicants who had passed the first test.

According to the requirements, all the applicants, whose name he would announce, would walk one step forward and would line up squarely in a row.

When he mentioned "Marsh", he as well as Len and Lind could not help but turn to look at Austin with a look of appreciation.

Even their gazes were full of admiration.

Fitch flashed a mild smile at Austin and nodded at him as greeting.

Obviously, this overt appreciation caused envy in the hearts of all the applicants present.

Marsh was the pseudonym Austin used when he applied for the test yesterday.

About one hundred people had passed the first test. As for all the other ones who failed the first round, they all left the Magic Hand Sect in low spirits.

...

Then Fitch pronounced the rules for the second test.

Its focus was the quality of the warrior's vital energy.

To test the quality of their vital energy, each applicant must put his or her palms on a vital energy testing stone one by one.

Then they must launch their vital energies from their bodies into the testing stone. The stone would then flash a blue light. In order to show the strength and quality of the warrior's vital energy, the light would either dim or brighten up.

The testing stone was big as an adult's head in size and was pure, stain-free white.

In this second test, only ten people would be granted an opportunity for further assessment.

This meant that only ten of the most excellent applicants would be able to pass the assessment. The rest of the applicants would immediately be knocked out from the test!

The test then commenced after Fitch had detailed all the rules in this round.

As prescribed by the rules, each applicant walked to the testing stone and carried out the test one after another.

The testing stone flashed no light when some applicants put their hands on it.

For some applicants, it just showed a very faint ray of light.

The testing stone only flashed a bright blue light for a few applicants.

Austin noticed that the brightness of the light of the testing stone was mainly determined by the quality of the applicant's vital energy, instead of the level of vital energy cultivation base.

As a result, some applicants with higher level of vital energy cultivation base had unfortunately failed the test, while a couple of applicants with comparatively lower level of vital energy cultivation base passed, though to everyone's surprise.

Austin felt extremely curious about the reason behind this phenomenon.

Soon it was Austin's turn to take the test.

He walked towards the testing stone in a calm manner.

Fitch, Len and Lind turned to look at the young man with expectant expressions on their faces.

Due to Austin's excellent performance in the previous test, they all paid him extra attention.

Austin stared at the testing stone before gently putting his hands on it.

He focused on initiating the vital energy force within his body and injected a portion of its force into the pure white stone.

Instead of launching all of his vital energy force into the stone, Austin intentionally subdued the strength of his vital energy cultivation base to the preliminary stage of Sky Realm.

While transmitting his subdued vital energy into the testing stone, his face was expressionless.

After a fraction of a second, the testing stone suddenly started flashing numerous rays of glaring bright lights in all directions.

It was so bright that a huge area around it had been illuminated under its blue light. With the intensity of the light the testing stone was flashing, the whole room seemed to be bathed in a blue ocean.

The sudden, unexpected, and surprising change made Austin the focus of everyone's attention.

Everyone looked at him with widened eyes. The scene was so unbelievable that they all felt stunned and startled.

The applicants weren't the only ones in a state of shock—Fitch, Lind and Len also felt shocked at the testing stone's unusual response to Austin's vital energy. They stared at the young man with renewed astonishment in their eyes, unsure of what to do next. Although they had organized the test countless times before, this was the first time they saw such a scene.

Silence dominated the whole square for an awkward amount of time.

"Marsh, you, well, obviously passed the test!"
