It took about two and a half days for the second round of tests to be completely completed.
After all, peerless geniuses like Li Ran, Young Master Ye Yu, and Fairy Chi Lian are a minority. Most people are relatively just ordinary people. Even if they can barely pass, it will take a long time. It is impossible to successfully challenge in a short period of time.
The elimination rate in the second round of tests was much more brutal than that in the first round. The elimination rate in the first round of tests was about 99%, and only less than one million people were left out of one hundred million. However, in the second round of tests, only a few hundred monks were left out of one million people.
These hundreds of cultivators can naturally be said to be the best among men. Even if they fail the third test and unfortunately cannot become outer disciples of Jinlong Mountain, they are still popular enough to be snatched up by some other super powers with lower rankings.
Seeing that the last contestant of the second round of tests had finished his challenge, Yuwen Shenyang glanced at all the contestants who had passed the second round of tests, then glanced at Li Ran subtly, and then said in a deep voice:
"The second round of tests has concluded. Congratulations to the candidates who passed. You are only one step away from the gate of Jinlong Mountain. Those who failed should not be discouraged. In the next hundred years, you can hone yourselves and strive to pass the next outer sect disciple recruitment ceremony..."
Jinlong Mountain can be said to be one of the most strict forces in the three realms of immortals, demons and monsters when it comes to selecting disciples. Other super powers generally require their outer disciples to have a lifespan of a thousand years or so, and to have a cultivation level above human immortals and within the realm of true immortals, but Jinlong Mountain requires a lifespan of less than 500 years.
It can be said that anyone who can cultivate to become an immortal within a thousand years is already a peerless genius. You know, there is no time in cultivation, and it has been a thousand years in the world!
A hundred years to build the foundation, five hundred years to make the golden elixir, a thousand years to become the Nascent Soul, five thousand years to leave the body, ten thousand years to become a god...
Most of the cultivators who became immortals within five hundred years had extraordinary backgrounds and were born into noble families. Only they could achieve immortality in just a few hundred years. It seemed that there were as many as 100 million people participating in the recruitment ceremony for outer disciples of the Jinlongshan branch of Wenlu City, but these people were selected from countless cultivators within hundreds of thousands of light years.
Although they failed the test this time, the cultivators who still have the opportunity to participate in the next outer disciple recruitment ceremony of Jinlong Mountain will basically not give up. After all, there are only a few cultivators who can pass the test after participating only once. Most cultivators have to go through two or three tests before successfully passing the second level.
According to the sect rules of Jinlong Mountain, anyone who can pass the second round of tests can enter Jinlong Mountain even if the third round of talent test does not meet the requirements. However, they cannot become outer disciples and can only start as menial servants. If they can put aside their arrogance and advance step by step, the chances of being able to enter the outer sect after hundreds or thousands of years are still very high.
Before the third round of talent testing began, the monks watching in Wenlu City were discussing the talent and qualification levels of the talented monks they supported.
"The third round of tests for Golden Dragon Mountain's outer disciples is to test their talent and aptitude. It is divided into ten levels: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, silver, and gold. To become a Golden Dragon Mountain outer disciple, the color of the test stone must be green or above!"
"I've been here several times. In the previous session, the highest color tested was only purple. Most were yellow, green, and blue. Blue and purple are the ceiling. It's said that a genius with silver qualifications only appears once every million years, and a genius with gold qualifications only appears once every billion years!"
"What about the genius with colorful talent?" A swordsman holding a long sword couldn't help but ask.
"A genius with multi-colored talent has only appeared once in the entire Golden Dragon Mountain, and that was only one color. Besides, it is said that the founder of Golden Dragon Mountain also had multi-colored talent!"
The sword cultivator secretly clicked his tongue and couldn't help but sigh, "The Golden Dragon Mountain Holy Land has existed for who knows how many years, and there has only been one genius with a colored talent. How rare is this? I wonder how terrifying a genius with a colored talent is?"
Seeing the sword cultivator's amazed expression, the person who had just spoken smiled and said, "You know, even the most powerful Celestial Venerable in the world has a very small chance of becoming a god. However, for those with colored qualifications, it is said that their chances of becoming a god can be calculated based on their colored qualifications..."
Not only the sword cultivators, but other cultivators around also pricked up their ears and listened attentively to his next speech.
The speaker stopped keeping the secret and paused before continuing, "There are ten different types of colored talent, and the same applies to the probability. One color has a 10% chance of becoming a god, two colors has a 20% chance, and three colors has a 30% chance. It's said that ten colors have almost a 100% chance of becoming a god, which shows how incredible colored talent is!"
The others were all shocked when they heard this. Becoming a god! What a distant, heavy topic! When was the last person to become a god? It seemed that at that time, the immortal world had only eleven superpowers, and since then, no one has successfully transcended the tribulation.
"Do you know who was the last person to become a god?" The person who spoke smiled again when he saw everyone fell silent.
"Who is it?"
"Hurry up and tell us, stop teasing us..."
"Could it be the person with the color qualification in Jinlong Mountain?"
A group of people started shouting, their interest now completely piqued by the person who was speaking.
"Of course not. No one knows who the last person to become a god was. Some say he was a casual cultivator, some say he was a fairy with unparalleled beauty, and some say he was the supreme elder of a super power!"
"Your words are in vain. What about the disciple from Jinlong Mountain who has the second-level talent? Has he become a god?" A bystander asked with a little anticipation.
"Of course not. A second-level talent only means a 20% chance of becoming a god, and with the influence of various other factors, the chance of becoming a god can only be lower, not higher!" The person who spoke shook his head and replied, "Oh, right, this genius with second-level talent is currently Chen Xiang, the most honorable Supreme Elder of Jinlong Mountain. It is precisely because of his existence that Jinlong Mountain is poised to become the most powerful superpower in the Immortal Realm and even the Three Realms!"
…
Amidst the discussions of a bunch of onlookers in Wenlu City, the Jinlongshan branch of Wenlu City also began the third round of talent and qualification tests.
"Now we begin the third round of talent and aptitude tests. We will start in the order of passing the second round. The last ten who passed will stand up!" Yuwen Shenyang said in a deep voice while standing on the raised platform in the center circle.
The talent and aptitude test was conducted in reverse order of the time when the second round of tests were successfully passed. The last cultivator who passed also stood in front of Yuwen Shenyang very consciously.
Yuwen Shenyang didn't say much when he saw this. He waved his right hand and a crystal ball appeared in his palm. This was a secret treasure specially used to test the talent and qualifications of cultivators. It was a semi-artifact jointly created by the weapon-refining masters of Jinlong Mountain!
Of course, the semi-artifact crystal ball in Yuwen Shenyang's hand is just a clone of the original body. It is said that the crystal ball itself has other functions, but except for the leader of Jinlong Mountain and some of the most honorable supreme elders, no one else knows it.
Li Ran looked at the crystal ball and thought that he only needed the person being tested to put his hand on it. This was described in many anime and novels. However, he did not expect that Yuwen Shenyang controlled the crystal ball, which kept expanding and finally circled the last person who passed.
