The testing in the afternoon started, and there were 18 people in the queue ahead of Fan Kang, all boys and girls over the age of [-] who came from the surrounding villages and towns of Taohua City.

The military borrowed the playground of a government-run school in Taohua City as a test site, and the playground was divided into two by a curtain so that no one else could see what was going on inside.All the people to be tested from the same village and town need to enter the screen together, and others can only wait outside the screen.

Soon the first group of seven children walked out of the curtain listlessly one by one, and people outside could tell that none of them had passed through.Following the gatekeeper's order, the second batch of five people also entered the curtain with trepidation.

Not long after the five people entered, a piercing siren sounded from behind the curtain.A middle-aged uncle who was waiting outside the curtain suddenly became excited, and the surrounding adults went to this uncle to congratulate him.

From the sound of congratulations, it is not difficult to hear that this middle-aged uncle is the Mayor Zhou of Taoshi Town within the jurisdiction of Taohua City, and a monk was born among the five people who just entered.After 30 years, a monk finally appeared in Taoshi Town again. This will be the honor of the whole town. As the mayor, he can even be praised by the owner of Taohua City.

"Brother Zhou, congratulations. But you must find a way to keep this child and let him flourish in Taoshi Town. Our Taoyuan Town is a lesson from the past." Wang Zhuo did not forget to remind Mayor Zhou when congratulating him. Dao, with deep annoyance revealed in his tone, he couldn't help complaining that the previous mayors didn't keep the monks, which resulted in no monks being born in Taoyuan Town for so many years.

"Brother Wang, why don't I want to keep monks. How can a small town like ours use to attract a monk to stay for a long time, not to mention finding another monk of the opposite sex to increase the probability of the next generation becoming a monk. Those who are lucky enough to become monks don’t want to rely on powerful forces in order to achieve higher development, and how many people are willing to be casual monks and live in a small town.” Mayor Zhou said helplessly with a sigh.

"Don't always think of the worst in everything, but have hope. What if the child is willing to stay in the town as a casual cultivator." Wang Zhuo comforted Mayor Zhou empty-handedly, unable to even make up a decent reason.In fact, Wang Zhuo also knew in his heart that those who choose to be casual cultivators are lonely and arrogant people who don't want to be restrained and free.Being a casual cultivator means that everything depends on oneself. Without huge resources, one can only rely on one's own talent and luck if one wants to have a high level of cultivation.But how many monks are there who are gifted and don't need too many cultivation resources? The vast majority of casual cultivators can only live in the backcountry for a lifetime because they missed the best age for cultivation and lost the opportunity to become senior monks.Some casual cultivators even figured it out in their later years, and in exchange for some cultivation resources, they were willing to become stud-like existences, specializing in mating with female slaves in the powerful forces, and giving birth to more children for the powerful forces who had the opportunity to become monks.

"I hope. In fact, I am also very contradictory. I want the child to stay in Taoshi Town and flourish, and I also hope that he will have a bright future and make contributions to Taoshi Town in the future." Mayor Zhou responded to Wang Zhuo Relieved, his eyes were already looking at the door of the curtain, wanting to know the child's choice for the first time.

"Zhou Zhanpeng, the mayor of Taoshi Town, and Lu Tai's relatives come here." A burly officer in the military uniform of the carrier country came out from behind the curtain and shouted to the crowd.There is a word You embroidered on the left chest of the military uniform of this person, obviously he is a guerrilla general.

"I'm Zhou Zhanpeng, may I ask if Lu Tai from our town passed the test?" Zhou Zhanpeng and Lu Tai's father hurried forward and asked cautiously.

"I am Zhang Zhiyuan, the person in charge of the testing team. Lu Tai from Taoshi Town has passed the test, and the test results show that he is at the beginning of the human level. The other four people from Taoshi Town have not passed the test. You can bring Let them go back." Zhang Zhiyuan nodded to confirm Zhou Zhanpeng's guess, then turned to the man beside Zhou Zhanpeng and continued, "You are Lu Tai's father, right? Congratulations on your son becoming a monk. Lu Tai chose to become an officer for He will enter the Royal Military Academy to study. Tomorrow we will send someone to help you move to Fengtian City, the capital, please come in with me to go through the formalities."

Not long after Zhang Zhiyuan and Lu Tai's father entered the curtain, the other four teenagers who entered with Lu Tai came out of the curtain one after another, with expressions of envy, jealousy, and unwillingness on their faces.One of the partners who have played and studied together for many years has become a high-ranking monk, and there will be no intersection with other people's life paths from then on.Not to mention that these teenagers cannot bear such a blow, even adults will inevitably have some dark sides.

Seeing that Lu Tai did not choose to become a casual cultivator and stay in Taoshi Town, Zhou Zhanpeng was disappointed and left Taohua City with the remaining four children who failed the test.

Testing continued, and it didn't take long for the next batch of six people to come out.The fact that the alarm did not go off meant that none of the six people passed the test.

Finally, it was the turn of Taoyuan Town to participate in the test. Fan Kang and his party walked into the curtain one by one, with Wang Zhuo and the parents of the other four children looking forward to them.

After entering the curtain, Fan Kang immediately looked at the center of the playground, and there was a metal stick-shaped magic weapon similar to Liu Zhong's description standing in the middle of the playground.Hearing the sound of the alarm before, Fan Kang was able to roughly confirm that the detection method had not changed. Now that he saw the appearance of the magic weapon, Fan Kang finally let go of his dangling heart. This time the detection did not use the latest detection magic weapon developed by the Bada Chamber of Commerce. .

In addition to the soldiers of the carrier country wearing military uniforms, there were many other people in the testing site. They were sitting far away from each other around the site, and they had no communication with each other. It seemed that the relationship was not harmonious.Fan Kang estimated that they were responsible for recruiting monks on behalf of the major forces.The position closest to the military was a middle-aged man wearing a white robe with a Tai Chi pattern embroidered on his chest, obviously a representative of the Taoist League.

"Now the roll call, those who register their names raise their hands. Zhang Jun, Zhang Yong, Wang Li, Chen Yun, and Fan Kang from Taoyuan Town." Zhang Zhiyuan held a list in his hand, read out the names one by one, and continued after verifying the identities of the five people. , "Now I will teach you how to use the mental power scan. This is something that qualified people can learn quickly. After the teaching, you have 2 minutes to practice, and after 2 minutes, you will come up and test in the order you just called."

Then an old man came out of the military and said to the five people: "I am a teacher at the Royal Military Academy. Now everyone, close your eyes, concentrate, and imagine the scene you saw just now. If you can clearly map it in your mind It is successful to come out with a rough outline, but to improve the distance and subtlety requires talent and acquired training." The old man then talked about some details that need to be paid attention to, and Zhang Zhiyuan immediately announced the start of the timer after everything was finished.

In order not to attract other people's attention, Fan Kang could only pretend to close his eyes, frowning and pursing his mouth for a while, pretending to be trying hard.

2 minutes passed quickly, and Zhang Zhiyuan ordered: "Time is up! Zhang Jun stepped out and stood here to launch a mental power scan. If the magic weapon is successfully detected, the alarm will be issued, which means the test is passed. After passing, the magic weapon will be removed. Gradually move to a farther place until the alarm stops, the farther the distance is, the higher the innate cultivation level is. Everyone has 30 seconds to try, if the magic weapon cannot make the alarm sound, it will be judged as a failed test." Zhang Zhiyuan pointed The place where the inspector was standing next to him pointed to the stick-shaped detector ten meters away, and immediately announced the start of the inspection.

It seems a little unfair to take turns to play, the people in the front will always think that the people in the back will take advantage of it.In fact, all real monks know that mental power scanning is not difficult at all for monks, as long as they know the method, they can get started quickly.If you can't perform a mental power scan after trying for 2 minutes after knowing the method, it can only mean that this person is absolutely unable to become a monk.

Zhang Jun, who was in the first row, stood helplessly at the designated position. I don't know if it was because he was in the first place or because the mental power scan failed. His face was not pretty.Zhang Jun stared at the magic weapon ten meters away, remembering its appearance firmly, then slowly closed his eyes and began to try to outline the surrounding environment in his mind.

Ten seconds... 20 seconds... 30 seconds passed, and the detection instrument did not move at all.

"It's time, Zhang Jun is unqualified. The next Zhang Yong will come up for inspection." Zhang Zhiyuan ignored Zhang Jun's pleading, ordered someone to pull away Zhang Jun who was cheating and wanted to try a few more times, and then ordered Zhang Yong to step forward.
