HHCPAWMM Chapter 14: Talent Test (One)

---

Four hours later, the sun was about to set, and many people were already carried out after fainting from the sun. Yu Qing Qian also successfully registered.

After registering, a wooden number plate was in her hand, which represented the order in which she would take the talent test tomorrow.

As for tonight, she had to find a way to spend the night herself.

She went to the stable to comfort Chi Yan, and had him remain there obediently, while she went to spend the night on a big tree in the woods outside.

She had lived during the apocalypse for so many years, having to deal with zombies, mutant beasts, and mutant plants for most of the year. Danger lurked everywhere, and the living environment was even worse.

Being exposed to the sun and spending the night in the wild was nothing. Even though she had been raised by her dad in a spoilt manner for more than a decade, but some of her habits had already been deeply rooted into her bones and marrow.

She laid on the big tree, closed her eyes, and the wood-class variant ability continued to operate. The surrounding wood force entered into her body little by little to nourish her meridians.

Of course, such changes couldn’t be seen by others.

Like Yu Qing Qian, there were many people who chose to spend the night in the woods. There were also some pampered children from aristocratic clans who asked their servants to drive the carriage to the foot of the mountain to check in at the inn.

Everyone’s choices and performances also fell into the eyes of the Academy’s instructors for this assessment.

In the early morning, the sun shone through the clouds in the forest, and the scattered light shone on the outer wall of the Academy.

Right now, people who received their registration cards yesterday were arriving outside the Academy one after another, waiting for the talent test to be screened.

Those who passed the test would enter the Academy to study, and those who failed would return home directly.

Today’s test didn’t require waiting in a long queue like yesterday. Several instructors took a list and started to group them.

After being divided into groups, everyone began to enter the examination area according to the serial number for testing.

Yu Qing Qian’s number plate was towards the end, so she took out the [General Continental Lessons] and began reading.

Four hours later, she was called and walked to the testing area.

Seven transparent pillars were built in the testing area, with a round cushion placed under each pillar.

A middle-aged man stood on a high platform and said to the several people below who just entered the testing area: “You all find a cushionto sit down to test your talent, physical fitness, and mental energy.”

“Yes!” After the seven people finished speaking, they each found a transparent pillar and sat cross-legged.

The middle-aged man noticed that everyone had sat down, mouthed a few words, then pointed at a white ball floating in the air.

The white ball suddenly erupted into a ball of bright light and immediately enveloped the seven people sitting beneath the seven transparent pillars.

“Talent, physical fitness, and mental energy are divided into several levels, namely low, below average, average, above average, high, top, excellent. Only those who reach below average are qualified.” The middle-aged man added.

Soon, the transparent pillars behind the seven people began to gradually change colour.

Emerald green liquid and a black line continued to spread in the pillar, with colours ranging from dark to light, and positions ranging from high to low. The pillars behind four people only had one black line that constantly climbed upwards.

After about a cup of tea’s time, except for the green liquid in the pillar behind Yu Qing Qian, which was still spreading, the fluctuations in everyone else’s stopped.

The middle-aged man watched in surprise as the green colour of the transparent pillar behind Yu Qing Qian continued to rise until it reached the top and stopped. He couldn’t resist letting out a soft cry: “Huh!”

Such a scene was also discovered by the other instructors, and they all revealed wonder in their eyes.

“She’s actually a Spiritual Plant Master with excellent talent.”

“This is truly rare. Among the recent students in the past sessions, only Feng Chen’s talent test is excellent.”

“But it’s a pity that her body is too weak, and she may have no fate in being a Combat-Class Spiritual Plant Master.”

It would be difficult for a weak body to form a contract with advanced-level spiritual plant essences in the future, let alone think about combat-class. She could only choose a weak class that required the protection of a Body Tempering Master.

“Yeah! The line that represents her physique has just barely reached qualification level. Truly a waste of this excellent talent.”
