Wearing black armor, he emanated cold metallic luster all over. Combining his fierce aura with his imposing demeanor, the man stood there, creating a dominant presence that deterred others from approaching.

When the gong sounded, Bu Fan coldly said, “Participants who have signed up for the Martial Academy examination should enter. Anyone uninvolved who tries to enter without permission will be killed on the spot!”

Upon hearing this, the soldiers in armor and wielding spears moved in an orderly manner to clear a path.

Immediately, a sea of humanity surged into Orchid Square like a tide.

At this moment, there was a high platform in the center of Orchid Square.

Underneath the platform, there were five tables, each with a black crystal ball that emitted a mysterious, dark glow, evoking an indescribable sense of mystery.

This was the Reach Profound Crystal designed specifically for testing bone age and Innate Talent. Xiao Chen had received it during quest assignment.

There were two people seated at each table.

Three people sat on the platform.

The one wearing battle armor was awe-inspiring.

The other two were young and extraordinarily talented, exuding an ethereal temperament.

A group of young men and women silently looked up at the two young men sitting above, filled with admiration and respect in their eyes.

Over the past half a month, news of Zhuang Zijin killing a Sixth Rank Demon Beast and aiming to break through a realm, as well as Lu Yun and Xiao Chen, both considered Heavenly Prides, killing Fourth Rank Demon Beasts while in the True Qi Realm, had spread throughout East Field County.

“There are so many people?”

Looking at the tens of thousands of examinees below, Lu Yun was somewhat surprised.

He knew that only over a thousand people had participated in the examination at Cloud Water County.

Wang Yuhao chuckled, “The battle half a month ago has made you and Junior Brother Xiao famous. Almost everyone in East Field County knows about your achievements. The younger generation aspires to join the Flying Spirit Martial Academy. When they heard about the examination, they flocked here.”

“Of course, to save time, 1 asked Officer Bu to select eligible examinees three days in advance and eliminate the majority. The exam-takers down there, at the very least, have cultivated their martial arts to the Great accomplishment realm.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Lu Yun clasped his hands.

“Haha, no need for courtesy, Junior Brother Lu,” Wang Yuhao waved his hand with a smile.

Afterward, Lu Yun stood up and gazed at the stage filled with energetic young men and women. With a focused look, he exuded an experienced and stern image.

“I believe you all know the rules of the Martial Academy examination before coming here, so 1 won’t go into detail. Let’s get straight to the point.”

Lu Yun’s voice, mixed with aggressive aura, spread quickly, echoing throughout the square.

Under the influence of this powerful voice, many of the young men and women quieted their conversations and listened attentively to what Lu Yun had to say.

“The first examination item: verification of bone age and identity. Divide yourselves into five groups and proceed to the examination in an orderly manner.”

After he finished speaking, Lu Yun sat back down, watching the many young people with nervous or eager expressions.

One year ago, he was one of them, as curious about the Reach Profound Crystal as these young people, and just as eager for the unknown examination results.

He had also witnessed others get eliminated due to their age and experienced Morigin’s zero-tolerance policy towards evil cult spies first-hand.

Now, given the change in his identity, he wondered how many of these many people were suspicious, how many were Level 5 Innate Talent, and whether there would be a Level 6 Innate Talent or not?

By now, Lu Yun had fully understood the purpose of the Reach Profound Crystal.

One purpose was to test the actual bone age, and the second was to identify spies of the Evil Cult.

The Reach Profound Crystal was crafted by the court’s artifact refiner, who infused a sliver of humanity’s Fate into it.

Morigin unified witchcraft demon beasts, developed three provinces, and spread martial arts throughout the world, gathering humanity’s Fate.

Once a member of the Evil Cults and Demon Sects, they would be tainted with the sect’s fate, which contradicted the human Fate of Morigin.

This was the principle of the Reach Profound Crystal in order to eliminate the Evil Cult’s spies.

After about two hours, the test concluded, with results beyond Lu Yun’s expectation.

Only a small portion of the people had their Reach Profound Crystal blinking white due to their age surpassing the limit, and not a single star pattern appeared.

There wasn’t a single instance of the Reach Profound Crystal flashing red, indicating none among the many people were spies of the Evil Cult.

This result surprised Lu Yun.

“Could it be that evil cults like the White Lotus Sect are afraid of the stationed army here and dare not invade East Field County?” he thought to himself.

For the second examination item, it was Xiao Chen’s turn to preside over it.

There were also five Innate Talent Stones. After placing each of them on the tables, Xiao Chen looked at the crowd with cold eyes.

“The next item is the Innate Talent Test. Those with Innate Talent lower than Level 2 or lacking Innate Talent will be eliminated.”

“If you show Innate Talent above Level 5, you can skip the third examination and directly become a disciple of the Flying Spirit Martial Academy. In addition, there will be rewards after joining the sect.”

“Alright, let the Innate Talent Test begin!”

On the high platform, Lu Yun looked at the dense crowd below, his eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

“With so many people, I hope there will be a few more Level 5 Innate Talents. It’d be even better if one or two have Level 6 Innate Talent. That way, I can significantly improve my strength.”

Fixated on the crowd being tested below, Lu Yun seemed calm, but inside, his anticipation ran even higher than the young examinees’..
