355 Extremely fast pace (2/2)
“There is still half of them!”
Everyone was nervous.
It was fast!
It was the fastest examination in history, the difference of time was in the seconds! Among the 10 million candidates, tons of them failed at any second. While the gauge changed, the numbers would increase again. On the screen, the data was synchronized so people could easily see the names of the candidates who were still sustaining the sphere.
The number changed extremely fast.
Everyone was stunned.
The pace was too fast.
Meanwhile, it was another ten seconds.
The fifth increment!
Ten thousand times of consumption!
“Dong—”
“Hua-”
As the gauge changed, the number of candidates survived changed from eight digits to seven digits. On the screen, people could see that 90% of the candidates had failed!
“10% remaining…”
Everyone was astonished.
One minute hadn’t elapsed but more than ten millions of candidates failed?
It was too horrifying!
Meanwhile, the number was still changing on the screen. Some candidates could sustain for the moment the fifth increment, but they couldn’t sustain the consumption of the fifth increment.
Ten seconds later.
Increase!
Sixth increment!
Hundred thousand times of consumption!
“Hong!”
Countless candidates used up their energy! The rate of failure was even higher at this moment. Among the 10% surviving candidates, there were 90% of them who failed! The number of candidates surviving had become five digits!
Among ten million of candidates.
There were 90 thousand of them remaining.
Meanwhile, the number was still decreasing.
“Dong!”
Before the sixth increment ended, one of the candidates failed again. People were stunned while looking at the name of the candidate.
“I heard his name before.”
“Peak beginner esper! This candidate was a peak beginner esper. He couldn’t even sustain the sixth increment. Does it mean that the remaining candidates are all at the specialized level?”
“There were more than ten thousands of candidates who were at the specialized level?”
“Not really. The test was just about energy capacity, perhaps this guy was weak in that, as everyone has different strengths…”
Right before he finished his words.
There were variations of famous candidates who were a peak beginner esper failed.
The guy shut his mouth.
The number of candidates who managed to survive the sixth increment was only in the ten thousand, a number at the border of five digits.
People were astonished.
After this energy capacity examination, they could roughly estimate the level of this batch of candidates. Nonetheless, energy capacity is highly correlated to the level of a candidate. The people who failed in this round were all peak beginner espers. Some of them were even going to advance into the specialized level.
However, these people couldn’t even get into the top ten thousand of the candidates.
The hypothesis was based on the current circumstances. However, people didn’t know about the difference between the energy capacity and the actual level of the candidates.
Investigation?
They had no time for an investigation!
The pace of the examination was too fast.
Ten seconds!
How could they have time for an investigation?
Meanwhile, upon completing ten seconds of the sixth increment, people held their breaths. No matter how many candidates were at the professional level, the switch of the gauges would fail a big portion of them.
Ten seconds!
Increase!
The seventh increment!
Million times of consumption!
“Hong!”
The five digits of candidates dropped drastically!
9,000！
8,000！
7,000！
It was continuously decreasing!
A moment later, it was in the 5,000’s!
Only 5,000 candidates could sustain the first second of the seventh increment. Meanwhile, people could finally recognize these candidates.
“Isn’t that Li Wei? A level 2 specialized esper!”
“Ei, that is Zhang Jie from our city. Level 3 specialized esper!”
“Hey wait… did you all found anyone who is a level 1 esper?”
“Any of them?”
People looked through the list.
Yes, but they were rare.
It indicated that most of the level 1 espers were filtered in this batch. The remaining 5,000 candidates were the best of the best!
How long was it?
The gauge changed every ten seconds.
The gauge changed for the seventh time, so…
It was just a minute!
What a horrifying failing rate!
As time passed, Li Wei who had been recognized by the people just failed. Meanwhile, Zhang Jie who was a level esper 3 failed in the eighth second too!
Only 2,000 candidates were remaining.
Meanwhile, it was another ten seconds passed.
The eighth increment!
Change!
