No one noticed the unusual behavior of this Golden Core disciple of the Joyful Union Sect, and even Qin Feng stopped paying attention to him after seeing him pass the test normally.
"Is that all? It didn't seem that difficult."
"Just stand there for a little while, I can do it too."
"Are you stupid? This is a test from the illusion array. Didn't you see the look in that person's eyes before? But I feel like I can do it too."
"I have come to inherit the legacy of the Great Emperor."
Seeing that someone had passed the test so easily, the others became even more enthusiastic and rushed to participate in the test.
There is only one statue and only one pair of eyes, so it is impossible to accommodate so many people at the same time.
Seeing the scene descend into chaos, Bai He was displeased and reprimanded them:
"Don't rush, line up and come one by one, otherwise I don't care who you are, I'll slap you all."
Zhu Rui and Zhou Jian did not stop them when they saw this, as the scene was too chaotic.
These people, intimidated by an elder at the King Realm, shrank back and immediately became obedient.
As for why Baihe didn't test it himself first? Because he was afraid there was something fishy going on, and he wanted to observe more before making a decision.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Bai He pointed to a disciple who was closest to the statue and ordered, "You go first."
This was a female disciple of the Huanhua Sect. Since she had not seen her own King Realm expert, she dared not disobey Bai He and obediently approached the statue.
When she met the statue's eyes, her expression became blank.
She's been drawn into an illusion.
The rest of the people, including Bai He, were carefully observing this disciple of the Huanhua Sect.
She would sometimes show a happy expression, sometimes a sad one, and suddenly become panicked and then calm and indifferent.
Everyone watched in amazement, wondering what she had gone through.
Half an hour later, the Huanhua Sect disciple regained consciousness, panting heavily, looking extremely exhausted, with his hands still tightly pressed against his chest.
It's obvious that something terrible happened; I'm still feeling a lingering fear even now.
The result for this Huanhua Sect disciple was also announced; she failed the assessment and did not pass.
Looking at the result, she stood behind the statue, somewhat dejected, and was enveloped by a beam of red light.
When people saw that she had failed, they stopped paying attention to her.
No one noticed the flash of crimson in the eyes of the female disciple of the Huanhua Sect.
Baihe continued, "Next."
Then someone else walked to the opposite side of the statue and looked into its eyes.
...
And so, the fifty people present lined up one by one to look into the statue's eyes, facing the test of the illusion.
Behind the statue stood a number of people, clearly divided into two groups: five people were enveloped by a yellow beam of light, and thirty-one people were enveloped by a red beam of light.
Soon, only four Nascent Soul cultivators—Deng Tianning, Jiang Yi, Tian Zheng, and Qian Xuefeng—and three King Realm experts—Bai He, Zhu Rui, and Zhou Jian—remained.
There are also seven others: Qin Feng, Leng Yuexi, Xiao Fan, Yin Tiantian, Xiao Shitou, Shen Mengying, and Shen Qianjun.
At this moment, Bai He noticed Qin Feng and the others. Seeing that they were motionless, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Feng, slowly saying:
Why don't you take the exam?
Qin Feng glanced at him, looking at him with amusement, and said:
"Senior Baihe, aren't you being too nosy? I can go whenever I want, it's none of your business."
Bai He continued to stare coldly at Qin Feng, his words carrying a hint of threat, "Oh, what if I insist that you go?"
Qin Feng remained calm as he looked at him. "I suggest you don't do that."
At this point, Zhou Jian couldn't stand it anymore and said to Bai He:
"Baihe, are you bored? You're not worried about the Emperor's succession, why are you staring at Qin Feng? Are you out of your mind?"
Zhu Rui also looked at Bai He in surprise, "Yeah, Bai He, what's wrong with you?"
Bai He snorted coldly and did not answer. He was actually somewhat suspicious of Qin Feng. His previous experience had taught him that Qin Feng was not a simple person.
Seeing Qin Feng so calm and still, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Moreover, he always felt that the square object Qin Feng had taken out earlier had another purpose, and might even be hiding some secret.
So he tried to scare Qin Feng, but Qin Feng completely ignored him.
Seeing that Qin Feng and the others remained unmoved, Jiang Yi and several other Nascent Soul cultivators took turns going up to them.
First up was Jiang Yi. Like everyone else, she slowly walked up to the statue and looked at it with a mix of excitement and nervousness.
Even though Jiang Yi was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, her performance at this moment was no different from that of a Golden Core disciple.
The moment she met the statue's gaze, her eyes became dull and lifeless.
Her expression remained relatively calm, with only occasional emotional fluctuations, unlike the dramatic highs and lows experienced by others.
Perhaps because she was at the Nascent Soul stage, Jiang Yi's illusion lasted for a very long time.
A Golden Core disciple usually takes less than a quarter of an hour, and a Nascent Soul disciple usually takes about a quarter of an hour, but Jiang Yi has gone through a full half hour without any results.
Qin Feng was also paying close attention to Jiang Yi's reaction.
Everyone saw that Jiang Yi suddenly showed a struggling expression, but she quickly calmed down and returned to normal.
Jiang Yi swayed and regained consciousness. She pressed her head, looking somewhat pained, but soon returned to normal.
No one knew what she had gone through; they only knew that she had passed and successfully become a candidate for the Emperor's succession.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Yi wasn't as excited as before; even when she learned she had successfully passed the test, her expression remained calm.
