The state exam is a big hodgepodge.

It seems like several rounds of going up and down, but in fact, everyone is thrown together, forcing everyone to go through layers of levels and attack towards the finish line.

Only those who finally reach the end have the chance to become Star Gate disciples.

To prevent cheating.

The continental examination has a strict assessment system.

After entering the assessment site, you are not allowed to bring any medicines or liquids, related talismans, or any hot weapons.

The assessment location is in the Kingdom of the Divine Bull, in a castle called Tissa.

Without exception, those who were able to watch the event on site were all representatives of various countries, dignitaries of the Shenniu Country, and some prominent figures who had traveled thousands of miles across multiple countries and had finally obtained admission tickets.

The continental exam is an intermediate competition organized by the seven galaxy alliances.

It concerns the major countries and the relevant resource subsidies they obtain from the Seven Star System Alliance.

No one dares to take it lightly.

At the same time, the assessment standards are particularly cruel.

And it is carried out all at once, and the champion and runner-up are decided within just one day.

Also today, Stargate announced this year's enrollment quota and related requirements.

There are five menial disciples.

There are three outer disciples.

A disciple of Master Fu.

Menial disciples need to meet four conditions at the same time.

Possessing superb spiritual roots.

Successfully found the source of power.

His cultivation reached the divine level.

In the continental examination, he won the top eight.

The outer disciples requested.

The spiritual root level is at least super-quality.

Successfully obtain the original power.

Won the top three in the state exam.

Master Fu’s disciples requested.

Must be a mind master and rank in the top ten in the continental examination.

As soon as the content was announced, it immediately caused an uproar.

Many people know that Stargate's enrollment quota this year is less than in previous years, and the difficulty level is higher.

However, he did not expect that to become a menial disciple, one not only had to possess top-grade spiritual roots, but also had to find the source of power, and his performance had to be among the top eight.

The outer disciples were even more unexpected, as they at least possessed super-grade spiritual roots, obtained original power, and ranked among the top three.

You must know that finding the original power and obtaining the original power are two different concepts.

Zhang Lingfeng had previously found the water source power under the guidance of Lu Jin's original power, but by the time he obtained the water source power, his cultivation had already entered the divine realm.

Therefore, there is no need for outer disciples to be specially reminded that they possess divine power. For those who are able to obtain the original power, their Dantian Qi Sea has already become a dojo that can store and absorb the original power.

What is even more unexpected is.

This year, Star Gate will recruit children of talisman masters.

But the other party is required to be at least a spiritual master and his performance must be among the top ten.

To become a master of divine consciousness, the value of the sea of ​​consciousness needs to reach 80.0, and the mental power needs to be condensed into divine consciousness.

A master of divine mind who is less than twenty years old, he is a legend wherever he goes in Dongzhou.

But such a person must also achieve a top ten score to become a disciple of a talisman master, which shows how difficult it is to become a disciple of Star Gate.

However, many people also saw different messages in the literal meaning.

Disciple of Master Fu.

This means that he became a disciple of Star Gate Talisman Master.

If one becomes a menial disciple of Star Gate and fails to become an outer disciple of Star Gate in the future, he can only stay in Star Gate for half a year.

If one becomes an outer disciple of Star Gate and fails to successfully become an inner disciple in the future, he can only stay in Star Gate for three years.

There seems to be no time limit for becoming a talisman master's disciple. It seems that as long as you can satisfy the talisman master, you can stay in the Star Gate forever and even become a powerful talisman master in the future.

You should know that the construction of the Nantianmen magic array requires the help of the Star Gate Talisman Master, and the drawing of the Divine Light Talisman is done by the Talisman Master.

It goes without saying how high the status of a talisman master is.

It is said that the Qin family also has a talisman master.

That talisman master once served a Star Gate talisman master. Although he had only served him for two or three years, he had an extremely high status in the Qin family. Even Qin Cangqiong had to treat him with caution, and even Qin Qianyu had only met him a few times.

This shows how high the status of the talisman master is.

Especially for the talisman masters from the Star Gate, let alone becoming their disciples, even if they just wanted to be their servants, there were countless people vying for the first place and trying their best to serve them.

Therefore, the four words "Master Fu's disciple" were extremely dazzling, and many people were whispering.

Even the leader of the Divine Sect, Jiang Nan, had a fiery look in his eyes.

There are three professions that can call the wind and rain in the primary star field, all of which are related to the power of the sea of ​​consciousness, namely, the talisman master, the weapon refiner, and the alchemist.

When a talisman master draws a talisman, he needs to use his divine thoughts to inject the rules of heaven and earth into the talisman paper, seal it with a spell, and eventually form a powerful talisman. Divine thoughts play a vital role in the process. If one cannot become a master with divine thoughts, he cannot become a qualified talisman master.

When a weapon refiner refines a magical weapon, he also needs to use his divine thoughts to refine the best material from the flames. He then uses his divine thoughts combined with weapon refining techniques to fuse the different materials together, turning a piece of ordinary iron into a magical weapon.

When an alchemist refines elixirs, he needs to use his divine sense to continuously transform several or even dozens of precious medicinal ingredients in the elixir furnace, in the flames, or even in the palm of his hand, so that a few ordinary herbs can be turned into priceless elixirs.

Only in the primary star field.

People will think that the greatest function of the sea of ​​consciousness is to turn people into spiritual telepaths or divine masters.

But in the eyes of the Star Gate powerhouses.

The sea of ​​consciousness can access the laws of the universe.

Sealing spell.

Forge a magic weapon.

Condensed golden elixir.

It can be said that the higher the level, the less likely people will underestimate the power of the sea of ​​consciousness. Even if they have to use panaceas, people will find ways to make the sea of ​​consciousness reach 100%.

Jiang Nan once said that divine consciousness is one of the important forces in contact with the third system, and this statement is not an exaggeration.

Zhang Lingfeng also noticed the four words "Master Fu's disciple".

He possesses divine spiritual roots, has obtained the original power, and is also a divine mind master.

The heaven-earth harmony index exceeded 40.0, and the water source power was able to penetrate a thousand meters underground. Even Rajvijay could not find any clues at the beginning.

With my current strength, it should be a sure thing for me to break into the top ten in the continental exam.

If I am willing, maybe I can become a disciple of Master Fu.

Even compete for the top three.

Divine spiritual roots.

It means that spiritual power is infinite and inexhaustible.

The dojo formed by the Dantian Qi Sea is also extraordinary. In the realm of the gods, unless there is someone who masters multiple original powers and his heaven and earth harmony index is equal to his own, even Qin Qianyu cannot be his opponent.

Of course Zhang Lingfeng did not forget his mission.

The Qin family saved his life.

No matter what, he had to help Qin Qianyu enter the Star Gate. It would be best if he could become an outer disciple directly. However, the requirement of having super-grade spiritual roots... Alas.

Zhang Lingfeng can only take one step at a time.

Soon the continental exams were held in Tisza Castle.

There are six rounds in total, and they must be completed within one day.

The rules are different for national and provincial exams.

The comprehensive promotion mode is adopted here.

A comprehensive consideration of the five powers: strength, speed, attack power, defense power, and vitality.

Scores are recorded for each round.

The full score is 100.

To enter the final round, the scores in the first five rounds must be above 90 points.

If there are twenty people who meet the score requirements, all twenty people will enter the final round together and be ranked according to the corresponding scores.

Those who rank lower can challenge those who rank higher. If the challenge is successful, their ranking will increase; if the challenge fails, they will be automatically eliminated.

The top three scorers will automatically advance into the top five and do not need to accept challenges from anyone until the others have finished competing for the rankings.

In short, the ranking and victory or defeat in the final round are determined by combat effectiveness.

The top three have a great advantage. Not only can they automatically enter the top five, it may also mean that they can directly become Star Gate's outer disciples, or at least Star Gate's menial disciples.

Of course, all conditions must be met at the same time.

Soon, the continental examination was held in the Tisza Castle of the Sacred Bull Kingdom amid the anticipation of countless people.

Zhang Lingfeng, Qin Qianyu, Wen Duoduo and Jin Yifei quickly got their places.

The four of them compared themselves and found that Jin Yifei entered first, followed by Zhang Lingfeng, then Wen Duoduo, and finally Qin Qianyu.

The first round is a strength test.

There are hundreds of martial arts students from the eighty-three countries in Dongzhou taking the continental examination.

Those who can come here basically have the cultivation level of a Wanderer. Of course, some of the contestants representing small countries with insufficient resources and adverse geographical locations are only at the level of martial arts masters.

Only some countries with large populations, decent local resources, and good resources obtained from the seven major galaxy alliances can ensure that the strength of their martial arts students reaches the level of domain travelers. There are even some countries whose martial arts students have reached the level of powerful gods.

For example, the martial arts student of Shenniu Country.

As the host of this continental exam, the Shenniu Country has as many as ten martial arts students, each of whom has reached the divine level.

The number of martial arts students from the Wugui Kingdom and the Tiebang Kingdom has reached six each. According to intelligence, three people from both sides have reached the divine level.

"Udawang, Lemon, Hams..."

The first round is a strength selection.

The top-ranked martial arts students from other countries came out one after another when they heard their names being called.

The strength test was very rough.

There were many engraved talismans on the scene. They looked ordinary, but in fact they were stone locks weighing tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 kilograms.

These stone locks are either made of special materials or have unexpected weights due to the power of talismans. They all have clear weights and scoring instructions on them.

The strength assessment standard is to see who can lift the heaviest stone lock.

Zhang Lingfeng thought of the strength assessment method for martial arts candidates in ancient times, which is similar to the current one. It was called "Qiaoguan" in the past.

"One hundred thousand jin, the strength score is only 80 points, 120 thousand jin is only 90 points, and 150 thousand jin is full marks."

Everyone could see the weight and score recorded on the corresponding stone locks. Many people couldn't help but exclaimed, and many people frowned and whispered.

"I only have a mid-grade spiritual root, and I am in a state of perfect spiritual power. My power cannot yet take shape. Even if I have reached the peak of the Great Realm, with my current strength, the force of a punch I throw out is no less than 120,000 jin, and may even be close to 150,000 jin. But to lift a stone lock weighing 120,000 jin is another concept."

Wen Duoduo said solemnly.

Jin Yifei clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the stone lock weighing 120,000 jin. He possessed a top-grade spiritual root, and his spiritual power could take shape. The spiritual power fluctuations he released could tear apart an airship and kill the demon god with one punch if he exerted his full strength.

But it is not easy to lift a stone lock weighing 120,000 kilograms.

Releasing power and raising power are different concepts, as Wen Duoduo said.

But he is different from Wen Duoduo, he has another power, mental power!

With the mental power from the destructive mentalist combined with his superior spiritual roots, it is not impossible for him to lift the 120,000-jin stone lock.

Although he knew he could not compare to Qin Qianyu.

But Jin Yifei also wanted to rush into the final round and compete with other top-notch geniuses in Dongzhou in terms of combat power.

Soon, the martial arts students whose names were called left the stage one after another.

"stand up!"

A martial arts student named Hams, from the Stone Country of Dongzhou, directly tried to lift the stone lock weighing 120,000 kilograms.

Everyone saw that Hams had many blood lines on his body and his muscles were throbbing with blood. Zhang Lingfeng was able to detect through telepathy above 80.0 that there was a power hidden in Hams' muscles that was different from spiritual power and even qi and blood.

"Genetic bloodline!"

Zhang Lingfeng and Qin Qianyu read it at the same time.

The Great Xia Kingdom also has genetic warriors.

Before, when Zhang Lingfeng was guarding Base No. 7 in the large radiation zone, he had come into contact with warriors with genetic bloodline. Now that technology is advanced, many medicines and replenishing fluids can allow warriors who originally had no bloodline to have bloodline through genetic modification.

However, this kind of artificially modified bloodline can easily reach its end, and it consumes a lot of vitality, leaving serious hidden dangers to the body.

For someone like Hams, who was able to become a martial arts student in the continental examination through genetic modification, the level of the genetic medicine he used must be higher than that produced by the Xingyao Group.

It is extremely rare in the market.

However, no matter how precious the genetic medicine is, it cannot allow ordinary people to awaken spiritual roots of the third grade, or even spiritual roots of the sixth grade.

It will also only deprive many people of their potential.

Even if Hams could achieve good results, or even make it to the final round, he would not be able to become a Star Gate disciple.

But some countries never expect that their martial arts students can become Star Gate disciples. They only hope that their martial arts students can get good results in the competition and help the country obtain more resource subsidies, nothing more.

Hams' role is obviously just to help the Stone Country obtain more resource subsidies.

He roared.

With the power of the talisman, he lifted the stone lock weighing 120,000 pounds to his chest in one go, and his feet sank into the ground.

Another roar.

He tried to lift it above his head, but the stone lock just reached his head.

Hams' blood burst.

Blood spurted out of the mouth and nose.

He knelt on the ground with both feet, and the 120,000-jin stone chain fell heavily to the ground. He supported himself on the ground with his hands, gasping for breath.

There was sympathy and also laughter at the scene.

Many people feel disgust and rejection towards those who gain powerful powers through genetic modification.

When they see them fail, they feel very happy inside, just like in the past, when people saw the cases of failed plastic surgery, many people felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

Finally, after a rest, Hams tried to lift a 100,000-jin stone lock and finished with a score of 80, waiting for the call for the second round.

"Jin Yifei...Jin Chenchen...

Soon two familiar names came.

Jin Yifei was actually in the same group with Jin Chenchen, the prodigy from the Iron Rod Country.

There was a small commotion at the scene.

Jin Chenchen is also a well-known genius in the Dongzhou area. Many people know that he has awakened top-grade spiritual roots and killed two big monsters in the Longchuan forbidden area not long ago.

"Hello, Mr. Jin."

Jin Chenchen took the initiative to greet Jin Yifei, and at the same time nodded to Qin Qianyu and even Zhang Lingfeng in the waiting area.

The rules for each continental exam will be announced on the day of the competition.

This year's promotion method based on comprehensive performance caught many people by surprise.

It turned out that Yamamoto Taro of Wugui Country and Rajvijay of Shenniu Country had both defeated Jin Chenchen in succession, wanting to encircle and suppress Qin Qianyu in the first round of the game.

Remove Qin Qianyu from the list.

Unexpectedly, this year's continental examination was not as bloody as in previous years, but the degree of difficulty increased a lot.

At the beginning, everyone does not need to fight each other, but if they want to enter the top ten, especially to become a Star Gate disciple, they need to try their best.

Even for most people, the moment the rules are announced, it means they will never be able to enter the Star Gate in this lifetime.

Zhang Lingfeng and Qin Qianyu both nodded to Jin Chenchen.

Both of them saw that Jin Yifei was standing in front of a stone lock weighing 120,000 kilograms, while Jin Chenchen was standing in front of a stone lock weighing 150,000 kilograms.

Both of them were aiming for different scores.

Jin Yifei frowned, feeling that the gap was a bit too big, but when he thought that he only possessed a top-grade spiritual root, and that he needed the help of mental power to lift a stone lock weighing 120,000 pounds, he did not dare to move.

"start!"

The examiner spoke.

Jin Yifei grabbed the stone lock with both hands, mobilized all his spiritual power, and lifted the stone lock above his head. At the same time, his mental power surged out, forming a light curtain under the stone lock, just like when he caught Qin Qianyu's sword. In the end, he successfully lifted the 120,000-jin stone lock above his head.

But he was struggling.

His face flushed and his feet trembled slightly.

On the other hand, Jin Chenchen, relying solely on the power of his spiritual roots, lifted the 150,000-jin stone lock above his head and easily got full marks.

He was also the only one among this group of martial arts students who received full marks in the first round.

Many people felt that they cooperated and thought that Jin Yifei lived up to his reputation.

The assessment process is very fast.

After a while, it was Zhang Lingfeng's turn to play.

"Taro Yamamoto, Zhang Lingfeng..."

Everyone was surprised to find that Zhang Lingfeng was in the same group as Yamamoto Taro.

The two men stood in front and behind the team. Both sides had heard of each other and even seen each other's related videos. After seeing each other, they nodded and greeted each other. The atmosphere on the scene was very harmonious.

Without exception, Taro Yamamoto walked up to the 150,000-jin stone lock.

Under the watchful eyes of Qin Qianyu, Jiang Nan and others, Zhang Lingfeng also walked to the 150,000-jin stone lock.

Qin Qianyu and Jiang Nan were not surprised.

Zhang Lingfeng possesses superb spiritual roots. He is also a mental telepath and has achieved resonance with the Ding character technique. Whether in terms of spiritual root level or mental telekinesis, he surpasses Jin Yifei.

Jin Yifei was able to lift a stone lock weighing 120,000 jin. Combining his mental power, it was not difficult for Zhang Lingfeng to lift a stone lock weighing 150,000 jin.

"rise!"

Soon, everyone roared, and Taro Yamamoto lifted the 150,000-jin stone lock above his head with both hands. Then he let go of one arm, held the stone lock with one hand, and turned twice on the spot.

"Wow!"

Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.

Zhang Lingfeng was not affected. He summoned his spiritual power and lifted the 150,000-jin stone lock above his head. After the required time, he threw the stone lock down.

With the same score, quickly move on to the next round.

Qin Qianyu and Jiang Nan were both surprised that Zhang Lingfeng did not even use any mental power, but lifted the stone lock with pure spiritual power.

Both of them couldn't help but think that Zhang Lingfeng might have opened up a Taoist temple and entered the realm of the gods.

After a while, it was Qin Qianyu's turn. He was in a group with Rajvijay.

"Did your power go under the reception center yesterday?"

When he saw Qin Qianyu, Rajvijay immediately asked.

"what?"

Qin Qianyu was puzzled.

"nothing."

Rajvijay had a smile on his face.

Under the powerful telepathy, he discovered that Qin Qianyu really didn't know. It seemed that the powerful original power yesterday was not Qin Qianyu, and it was even less likely to be Zhang Lingfeng.

Now it seems that it might be Lu Jin.

According to intelligence, one of Lu Jin's original powers is water power.

"rise!"

Qin Qianyu and Rajvijay are both the focus of everyone's attention.

Especially as the prince of the Bull Kingdom, the appearance of Rajvijay caused cheers from the audience. The strength of the two was unquestionable, and they easily got full marks.

ten minutes later.

"Wow!"

The most excited exclamations in history were heard at the scene.

The martial arts student from Yuehou State, upon hearing the third thing, lifted the 150,000-jin stone lock from the ground with one hand. When it reached his chest, he stretched his arm forward.

He took a normal breath and held the stone lock in front of him with a nonchalant look on his face. Then he raised it above his head and threw it on the ground.

"Fuck!"

Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but swear.

There is only one fluctuation of power in this person, and that is spiritual power.

Although the spiritual power has not reached the state of being inexhaustible, the level of the spiritual root has obviously reached the super level. Not to mention lifting 150,000 kilograms, even lifting 200,000 kilograms seems to be possible for him with one arm.

“Never heard of this person.”

Qin Qianyu frowned.

I heard three, he is the representative of Yuehou State.

The State of Yuehou bordered Daxia and the State of Shenniu, with a canal running through the three states. The State of Yuehou had always depended on Daxia and the State of Shenniu for survival.

In previous continental examinations and competitions, domestic martial arts students would be eliminated at most in the third round.

I didn't expect that there would be a hearing three.

The spiritual root level may have reached super level.

Countless people at the scene felt incredible.

The geographical conditions of Yuehou State are worse than those of Daxia State and Shenniu State.

The resource subsidies obtained from the seven galaxy alliances were not as much as those from the Shenniu Kingdom and the Daxia Kingdom. The sudden appearance of a martial arts student whose spiritual power level seemed to be able to crush everyone else was really surprising.

Even Jiang Nan and representatives from all walks of life in the Shenniu Country were discussing in low voices.

But the game is not over.

On the contrary, it has been proceeding rapidly.

When Qin Qianyu put down the stone lock, Jin Yifei was already undergoing the second round of assessment.

The second round of assessment is speed.

Under the cover of the resistance array, the speed can reach 100 meters per second, with a passing score, 150 meters per second, with 80 points, 200 meters per second, with 90 points, and 300 meters per second, with 100 points.

"Whoosh!"

Jin Yifei mobilized all his spiritual power and used his mental power to fight against the resistance released from the magic circle.

As a person with top-grade spiritual roots and a sea of ​​consciousness value close to 40.0, he finally ran at a speed of meters per second and scored points.

He was content.

Then it was Jin Chenchen.

"boom!"

The resistance released by the magic circle seemed to be broken, and Jin Chenchen's speed reached 300 meters per second.

You have to know that this is under the restraint of the resistance array.

The final result was 321 meters per second, which was naturally a full score.

If the resistance array is removed and Jin Chenchen sprints at full speed, his speed will be around twice the speed of sound within a certain period of time.

This is already very terrifying for a martial arts student taking the continental exam.

Even Qin Qianyu looked solemn.

Soon it was Zhang Lingfeng's turn.

Zhang Lingfeng stood inside the resistance array and discovered that the resistance released by the array was similar to spiritual power. It seemed that the spiritual power was released by the array runes through the spirit stones.

"boom!"

He kicked his feet and shot out like an arrow, while paying attention to the changes in data around him. Soon his speed exceeded 300 meters per second.

Although this was not his fastest speed and he did not use his best strength, Zhang Lingfeng was already satisfied to get full marks.

Anyway, even if I run 400 meters per second, it will be full marks, so 300 meters per second will be enough.

In the end, Zhang Lingfeng's speed was 303 meters per second.

Entered the third round with full marks in two rounds.

Next was Wen Duoduo, who scored 80 points in the first round and 83 points in speed in the second round, successfully advancing to the third round.

When Qin Qianyu was in the second round of assessment, Jin Yifei came to the third round, the attack power assessment.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Two people burst out with speed, and one person bursts out with attack power.

Qin Qianyu reserved some of his strength.

But the speed quickly exceeded 300 meters per second and reached 320 meters per second, and he also entered the third round with a full score.

"Clang!"

Jin Yifei looked at the shaking amplitude of the ancient clock in front of him, and his expression was somewhat frustrated and ugly.

The ancient bell in front of him was a defective magic weapon provided by the Seven Star System Alliance that could absorb power. He used all his strength, but the ancient bell only swayed slightly.

In terms of offensive power, he only scored 82 points, which meant he missed the final round.

Because the requirement for the final round is that the scores in each round must be above 90 points.

"Oh!"

Jin Chenchen threw a punch.

The spiritual power surged out from the fist like a vast ocean, and a mark was formed in the fist, which seemed to be an origin.

The ancient bell vibrated violently, swaying back and forth, and a ripple of spiritual energy appeared on it.

It was as if the ancient bell was absorbing power.

Ninety-four points!

"what?"

Looking at his own results, Jin Chenchen frowned. Although it was over 90 points, it was not full marks, which was obviously different from what he had imagined.

"boom!"

At the same time, a sound as if tearing space was heard.

Three hundred and eighty meters per second.

The martial arts students of Yuehou State heard that San had actually obtained full marks at such a speed.

Qin Qianyu, Rajvijay, Yamamoto Taro, and even Jin Chenchen, all felt the hot and provocative gaze of Tingwen San at this moment.

Everyone looked solemn.

Various discussions filled the entire Tisza Castle.

"asshole."

Taro Yamamoto had a dark face.

When I heard Sanmian made an insulting gesture towards him.

"I'll come first!"

In the attack power test, he and Zhang Lingfeng were in the same group.

Originally, Zhang Lingfeng wanted to go forward to test it, but he got there first.

There is an ochre-colored force mixed in with the spiritual power, which is the earth source power. Unfortunately, the index of harmony between heaven and earth is around 25.0.

The earth source power is still in a tangible state and has not yet reached the level of substance or even generated vitality like Zhang Lingfeng's water source power.

"boom!"

The ancient bell roared and swayed back and forth and left and right.

Ninety-six points!

Unfortunately, her score was only two points higher than Jin Chenchen's.

"Nani?"

Taro Yamamoto was furious, but helpless.

"Wow!"

There was a tide of exclamations at the scene.

The scene of the first round of strength assessment.

The last round of people, also from Yuehou State, was a martial arts student named Chen Junchen. He actually threw a 150,000-jin stone lock into the air with one hand, to a height of 100 meters!
