After knowing Ye Chen's identity, the eyes of the people around him looked at him differently.
Naturally, Ye Chen didn't care about these things. At this moment, he was chatting with Gao Ming and Song Qing, whom he finally met.
"Brother Ye, Brother Song, do you see that person up ahead? His name is Mu Xuan, and he's said to be from a sect called Dan Ding Sect. He's twenty-nine years old and one of the six sixth-grade advanced alchemists in this assessment."
Gao Ming introduced them to the two, "This is a strong competitor for Brother Ye and Brother Song to compete for the spot!"
Obviously, unlike Ye Chen and Song Qing, two confident guys, Gao Ming must have spent a lot of effort to investigate the talented alchemists who took part in the assessment.
"Danding Sect? I have heard of this sect. It is a very famous alchemist sect in the Dan Domain." Ye Chen said with a chuckle.
But from his expression, it can be seen that he did not take Mu Xuan seriously.
A 29-year-old alchemist who was only at the sixth rank advanced level, let alone compared with the two of them, even the one in front of him who was less than 25 years old and already at the sixth rank intermediate level, had a talent far beyond the former.
But don't underestimate the difference of three or four years. For this group of young alchemists, who are considered the most talented in all of Zhongzhou, they may be able to leap a level in just one year...
As I said, the speed at which a genius improves cannot be measured by common sense.
Song Qing, who was standing next to him, obviously had the same idea as Ye Chen. However, he was concerned about: "Isn't this guy already a disciple of Dan Ding Sect? Why is he still taking the Dan Tower test?"
Gao Ming chuckled and said, "Brother Song, this is Danta, the holy land in the eyes of all alchemists on the entire continent. If you have the opportunity to join such a force, do you think anyone will care whether you are in a sect or not?"
"Moreover, even for the Danding Sect, if a disciple of theirs could join the Dan Tower, they would probably be overjoyed. How could they not let him go..."
Song Qing nodded suddenly, "I understand!"
Just when he was about to say something, his eyes accidentally swept across a certain place and were instantly fixed on it...
Song Qing's abnormality naturally attracted the attention of Ye Chen and Gao Ming, and they couldn't help but look in the direction of Song Qing's gaze.
"It's her!" Ye Chen suddenly realized. No wonder Song Qing looked so lost.
Gao Ming was obviously also deeply attracted, his eyes were a little eager, and seeing Ye Chen looked unmoved, he immediately said: "Brother Ye, do you know this girl?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Brother Gao said before that he wanted to see the power of the talented girl from the Cao family. It's just right, this is it."
Although this enchanting woman from the Cao family was still bright and charming, her cold and arrogant temperament made it so that no one around her dared to approach her.
"Is that so?!" Gao Ming was surprised at first, then nodded in understanding, and then silently withdrew his gaze.
"I heard that this girl is extremely talented and has almost secured a spot in advance. What do you think about this, Brother Ye?" Suppressing the excitement in his heart a little, Gao Ming couldn't help but start to inquire about the other party's information.
It's a pity that Ye Chen didn't intend to reveal too much information about Cao Ying to the other party. After all, the two of them were just casual acquaintances.
Before they knew it, all those who had passed the basic assessment had arrived at the square.
Ye Chen took a quick look and saw that there were only about 200 people left on the scene. This showed how strict Danta's requirements were for basic abilities such as the medicinal properties of medicinal materials.
At this moment, Mu Rong, the chief examiner, appeared in the center of the square again. He paused, his gaze slowly sweeping across the field. He smiled and said, "Since everyone who passed the previous test is here, I won't say much. This round is to test your soul value. The top fifty will advance to the next round. When your name is called, please come forward..."
The first fifty...
That is to say, among the 235 people present, only the top 50 are eligible to continue the assessment, which makes everyone feel quite nervous.
Another point is that the soul value test is unique to Danta. Except for the people from the five major families, everyone else is doing it for the first time. Some have never even heard of it, so they are inevitably more nervous at this time.
Mu Rong slowly retreated. Behind him was a stone tablet that was about ten feet high. In fact, it is not entirely accurate to call it a stone tablet, because the stone tablet is transparent and looks like crystal.
"Let the test begin."
Following Mu Rong's announcement, a Danta deacon elder was responsible for calling out the names, and then the candidates walked up to the platform one by one to take the test...
A nervous young alchemist stepped onto the platform, then placed his palm lightly on the stone tablet. He closed his eyes slightly, and his soul power flowed through his arm, pouring into the test stone tablet...
"Ding ding ding."
As the soul poured into the stone tablet, a dripping sound suddenly came from the smooth mirror plate in the center of the stone tablet, and then the blood-red number suddenly soared up. After lasting for a few seconds, it stopped at 501 under the gaze of many people around and in the field.
The alchemist who was testing the results clearly didn't know what the value was, and looked at Mu Rong on the stage with hope...
But the latter's face still had no expression, he just said lightly: "Okay, you can go down."
Hearing this, the young alchemist could only walk away with a helpless look on his face. From now on, he could only hope that the other people's soul values were not as good as his...
In this way, one subject after another walked up to the platform, and then walked down, either lost, excited, or confused.
Their soul values also vary, some high and some low.
But until this moment, the highest one did not exceed 600, which made Ye Chen shake his head in his heart.
How should I put it...
Although a soul value of five or six hundred is considered the normal standard for a sixth-grade alchemist, if one wants to be valued by Danta, then the soul value must exceed one's own alchemist grade. Only such people have the potential to be promoted to a higher level.
"Brother Ye, what is the required soul value to be chosen by Danta?"
Seeing that it was his turn soon, Gao Ming became a little nervous and couldn't help but ask Ye Chen beside him for advice.
His words were also heard by several people around him, and they all pricked up their ears, wanting to hear whether Ye Chen, a genius from one of the five major families, could give them an answer that would reassure them.
Ye Chen looked at Gao Ming, who looked nervous, and smiled softly, saying, "Didn't the examiner say it before? Danta will select the top 50 to advance to the next round. The specific soul value is actually not that important..."
