Two thousand years ago, a strand of sword light flashed across the nine heavens, tearing through the sky.
The world recovered, and martial arts began to revive.
Two thousand years later...
At the main gate, the demon exuded an astonishing aura of demonic power. With a roar, it stirred up a terrifying storm, and its massive body transformed into a streak of light, fleeing straight towards the outside of Qingyun City.
Because he knew very well that since he had already been defeated, he would surely die if he did not escape.
Unfortunately, he underestimated the Sky Patrol Division, or rather, he overestimated himself.
Just as he was fleeing, the jade disc spun, and a dazzling golden light burst forth, like the aurora borealis, piercing through the sky and, to everyone's astonishment, piercing the demon's enormous body.
The next moment, something astonishing happened to Lin Xuan.
After the aurora pierced through the demon's body, the demon's enormous body was instantly vaporized, completely vanishing without a trace, and not even a scream could be heard.
The world was deathly silent. Lin Xuan, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his expression gradually becoming serious. The methods of the Celestial Patrol Bureau were indeed extraordinary. That demon was quite powerful; it had actually been annihilated by the light of that jade disc, leaving not even a trace.
Although killing a demon is nothing special, it shows the strength of the Sky Patrol Bureau.
If a spiritual treasure like the Jade Plate were in the Eastern Wilderness, it would definitely be a top-tier treasure, even enough to become the most treasured possession of major sects outside the region. However, in this Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom, it is merely a spiritual treasure in the hands of a second-level Sky Patrol Guard of the Sky Patrol Division.
This is the difference—the difference brought about by a deep-rooted foundation.
"The Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom is indeed extraordinary."
Lin Xuan muttered to himself, his heart burning with even greater fervor. The stronger the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom became, the greater its future benefits to him.
"Alright, everyone... the assessment will continue, everyone keep moving forward."
A deep voice came from the two-patterned Sky Guardian. After a moment of shock, everyone quickly calmed down and, as before, passed through the gate in an orderly manner and entered the Sky Guardian Bureau.
Lin Xuan followed the crowd, holding the Sky Patrol Iron Guard in his hand, and entered the Sky Patrol Division.
The instant he passed through the gate, Lin Xuan clearly felt a profound power enter his body and the Heavenly Patrol Iron Token in his hand. Clearly, the jade disc was not only powerful in attack but also capable of probing the backgrounds of all examinees.
For example, that demon before, who tried to infiltrate the Sky Patrol Bureau by possessing a human, was eventually exposed.
After an incense stick has burned.
All those who participated in the assessment entered the Sky Patrol Guard and then arrived at the gate of a courtyard.
At this moment, the group of Sky Patrol Guards also came over. The leader, a two-patterned Sky Patrol Guard, swept his gaze across everyone like a blade. Suddenly, he raised his hand, and a powerful force burst forth. Nearly half of the people in the crowd had their Sky Patrol Iron Tokens fly up automatically and then turn into streaks of light that landed in his hands.
With a flick of his hand, he collected all the Sky Patrol Iron Tokens.
Before anyone who had lost their Sky Patrol Iron Tokens could speak, he said first, "It's truly a pity, everyone... It's not that I want to take your Sky Patrol Iron Tokens, but rather that you failed the first test. You are all unqualified. Now, please step forward, and someone will escort you away shortly..."
"What? We're not qualified? How is that possible? The assessment hasn't even started yet, why are you saying we're unqualified?"
"You're right, what exactly happened? Why did this happen?"
"We need an explanation, a reasonable explanation."
...
The crowd erupted in cheers, everyone was astonished, especially those whose Sky Patrol Iron Tokens had been taken away, they were all extremely excited.
After all, declaring them unqualified would be tantamount to cutting off their chance to join the Sky Patrol Division, so naturally they would be resentful. Even if they were to leave, they needed to be convinced of their right to do so.
Joining the Observatory has become an obsession for many.
Even those who hadn't had their Sky Patrol Iron Tokens taken away, and who claimed to have successfully passed the first test, were incredibly curious, wondering why they had failed. How exactly did the Sky Patrol Bureau make that judgment?
Of course, some clever people quickly realized what was going on, and the jade disc floating above the gates of the Celestial Patrol Bureau came to mind. Perhaps that jade disc was not only checking for alien spies, but also examining their talents, aptitude, and so on.
In fact, the assessment had already begun the moment they lined up to pass through that gate.
However, it was not announced.
"Just as I thought!"
Lin Xuan mingled among the crowd, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light. He naturally guessed the purpose of the jade plate.
In fact, the moment the divine radiance emanating from the jade plate shone upon him and merged into his body, he had already realized this, but he simply didn't say it aloud. Firstly, it was merely his speculation, and secondly, there would be no point in saying it.
If the assessment has already begun, then he has no choice but to leave everything to fate.
So whether you say it or not, there's not much difference.
In retrospect, his prediction was correct.
Meanwhile, his Sky Patrol Iron Token was still there, proving that he had passed the first test. His physical constitution and talent had passed the test, and the next step was the second test.
Thinking about it, Lin Xuan couldn't help but look at the courtyard in front of him. Perhaps this second trial was closely related to this courtyard.
"quiet!"
The crowd was chaotic, everyone was making a lot of noise, and the noise was getting louder and louder.
Many people were indignant and shouted for a reason.
