Elder Chen announced the results and then he said,
"Now you are going for the second test. But before that, let me tell some basic about formations,
Formations are of three types:
The first one is where we lay the formation with formation flags or other external things.
The second is where we take one thing as the core and create the formation with heaven and Earth resources.
Third is the most rare perfection of the formation realm. In this realm you create the formation and use the heaven and Earth energy as supplement."
"In this test, you have to create the most basic formation using any one of the three types.
The one who created the formation successfully will pass the test. But they will be given bronze, silver and gold assessment marks which represent the three types respectively.
As for the reason you will be explained after you enter the sect."
After saying this he waved his hands and he created a formation diagram without any need and said,
"This is the formation diagram that I created for you all. This is the most basic energy gathering array. You have to pick the resources from the platform and perform this early. Those who did this successfully will pass the final exam."
Bai Yue was the first one to step out without waiting for further instructions and everyone held their breaths waiting for his performance.
The moment he walked out, he went on the platform. He raised his head and looked at the formation diagram.
He then closed his eyes and started the practice of the formation in his mind.
After several minutes he opened his eyes and made some hand seals.
If one looks closely they would find that these seals are the formation diagram symbols. He then made the final hand seals and shouted softly,
"Formation Activate"
The nearby heaven and earth energy fluctuated and on the hand signs they gathered and a formation array was formed.
This formation started operating and the spiritual energy started gathering in the nearby areas.
This scene once again shocked many spectators and they started doubting their lives.
Bai Yue voice then sounded,
"I completed this test. Can I proceed to the next one or do I have to wait."
Elder Chen came back to his senses and he said,
"You have to wait till the 3,000 students also give their own."
Elder Chen didn't want to talk to this kid anymore because he felt that his entire life would start to feel trash if he continued to talk to this little guy.
Bai Yue simply nodded and he again continued his salted fish position.
Everyone was already numb so they simply ignored and focused on their test.
The elders seated above started their discussions,
"This little guy's comprehension is truly something."
"Yeah, I am going to take this one with my disciple if he passes the third test."
"Do you think we are here to eat cabbage? This little guy is more suited to me after all I had the same talent back then."
"How could you be so shameless? If you had this much talent you had long become a king realm expert"
The elders were mocking each other when a faint voice sounded,
"You are not suitable to teach this little guy. His talent is too monstrous because the realm he is in doesn't belong to us."
Hearing this everyone was shocked and then looked at the speaker. Suddenly, they become gloomy and said,
"Xing Yu, who do you think you are? You are in the same realm as us. And you dare to criticise and disgust us."
"And how dare you say that this little one is on a different path. How do you want to lead him astray just like you?"
"You are also a transformation realm expert like us."
But Xing Yu didn't bother with them and he looked at Bai Yue. The more he observed the more his eyes lit up. Then he looked at the little girl. No one knows what he was thinking.
Soon half a day passed and only a few remained,
Kui An was sitting beside Bai Yue. She was somewhat blushing because she was embarrassed. Bai Yue offered her this extra rest seat and many were looking at them with strange looks.
Bai Yue suddenly said,
"Little sister, you better cultivate your heart because you should only care about what your relatives are saying besides ignoring the rest of the world.
They are all just clowns and you should never care about their opinions. Just like now, they are judging us but you should not care about that."
Hearing this Kui An didn't respond immediately but she still nodded.
"Big brother, is it wrong to be innocent in this world?"
Bai Yue was stunned. He didn't give any response because he knew the answer obviously but looking at Kui An, he changed his thoughts and smiled,
"No, there is no fault in being innocent but innocence and ignorance are different.
If you are innocent but aware of the dirty nature of this world it's alright, but if you are innocent and ignorant then it is a crime."
Then he thought of something and said,
"Kui An tell me, who are your parents?"
Kui An was stunned but she lowered her head and said,
"Big brother, my mother passed away after giving me birth and my father blamed me for that so I have only my grandpa to take care of me.
Dad couldn't beat grandpa when grandpa scolded him so dad's resentment for me grew over the years."
Bai Yue was once again shocked and looking at the tears in Kui An eyes his heart melted.
He put his hand on her head and patted,
"Then you don't need your old man anymore because big brother is going to love you more than you received and my parents will also be yours in the future.
So what if we are not blood related. From now on I'll be your real brother."
Kui An tears fell but she nodded happily and she hugged Bai Yue.
Bai Yue was shocked by the sudden hug but he didn't reject it and he smiled because he suddenly recalled a memory.
In that memory he had a little sister whom he loved very much but because of some diseases she couldn't make it past 15.
The doctors, in the name of treatment, conducted different tests on her to study the new diseases to create vaccines.
When he recalled this memory his eyes also got somewhat teary.
Then suddenly Elder Chen voice sounded on the arena,
"From the 3,000 participants only 1,300 remained. So, the remaining ones can move to the third test and those who didn't make it till here can either watch or they can go."
After saying this he waved his hand and the 5 plaza divided in more than 10 platforms.
Then the elder said,
"Now the final phase of this assessment. In the first stage you little guys are going to fight the outer sect disciples. And in the second stage you all have to withstand some of the moves from the inner sect disciples.
But don't worry. The first stage is the passing stage and the second stage is the talent field where several elders will look at you."
After saying this, he signed the outer sect disciples to came forward and issue challenges to the participants.
Among the outer sect disciples the leading one was a youth with a refined, gentle and handsome face. He has a smile on his face and he is waving a fan on himself.
He looked at the remaining participants and said with a smile,
"Junior Brother and sisters, I am your senior brother Chen Yu. and I am at the 8th stage peak golden core in cultivation. So, is there anyone who wants to challenge me?"
While saying this he looked at Bai Yue with a desire hidden deep in his eyes. But no one noticed this.
Bai Yue closed his eyes as he has no interest in these child's play. He just want to challenge the inner disciples and enter the sect.
He only wanted to find a peaceful place to continue his salted fish life. But he miss Tieshan.
