Xiao Ye stood amidst the crowd, listening quietly, and had a sudden epiphany.
This examination at the Main Hall was, in essence, similar to the Earth Hall examinations he had taken part in before.
The first round was a test of willpower, as well as the essence of Martial Arts Heart.
In this square, there was a kind of stone platform called the Bright Jade, which was incredibly mystical, capable of reflecting one's Martial Arts Heart.
If one's Martial Arts Heart was not strong enough, they would immediately suffer intense torment. Only disciples with extremely strong Martial Arts Hearts could persist and thus pass this round.
The time limit for this round was the duration of one incense stick. Only those who withstand it atop the Bright Jade Stone Platform for the time it took the incense stick to burn would be considered as having passed.
The significance of the Martial Arts Heart to martial artists is self-evident.
