Chapter 38 - Strenght Assessment Test (1/2)
The next day after coming up to the courtyard, Mesa saw Instructor Qin waiting there for him. The moment he saw him he came up to him and spoke to him.
”Ahh…. Junior Uchiha, it's good that I've caught you. I have submitted your enrollment application but in order to complete your enrollment you must take a strength assessment test. The specific rules will be explained to you on site. Now come on and follow me, they're about to start the strength assessment test.”
And so Mesa followed Instructor Qin through the halls and they came up to a big hall that was filled with people. On a podium at the back end of the hall was an old man with a profound assessment stone next to him. This old man was the proctor for the first part of the strength assessment test and he would explain its rules before the test would begin.
”The first stage of the examination is the assessment of Profound Strength. I'll repeat it again, the minimum threshold to enter the Palace is: Nascent Profound Realm level one at the age of fifteen, Nascent Profound Realm level three at the age of sixteen, Nascent Profound Realm level five at the age of seventeen, and Nascent Profound Realm level six at the age of eighteen. For those who are younger than fifteen or over eighteen, as well as those whose profound strength are lower than the minimum standard, please leave out of your own free will; do not think that the Profound Assessment Stone will make any mistakes! And do not think that your begging will help you in any way. If you do not meet the minimum requirements you are disqualified. No buts and/or ifs. PERIOD!”
As his voice fell, the old man let his words sink in to everybody's mind before continuing on to start the test.
”Now, the first round of assessment shall start. If I call your name, come up and and press your hand onto the Profound Assessment Stone... Number One: Han Chi” After his name was called out a young man sixteen or seventeen years old came up to the profound assessment stone and placed his hand on it. A few seconds later, 3 lines of text appeared.
Age: 17 year's old
Strength: Level 4 Nascent Profound Realm
Qualifications: Unqualified
”Unqualified, next!” Hearing that he was unqualified, Han Chi got down on his knees and was begging for another chance before he was suddenly cut off by the proctor.
”YOU ARE UNQUALIFIED!! NEXT!! Liu Changqin”
Age: 16 year's old
Strength: Level 2 Nascent Profound Realm
Qualifications: Unqualified
”NEXT”
Age: 18 year's old
Strength: level 5 Nascent Profound Realm

”NEXT”
And so the first part of the strength assessment test continued on with many people passing the first part of the test and even more people failing it.
”NEXT. Ao Yan”
Age: 17 year's old
Strength: level 9 Nascent Profound Realm
Qualifications: qualified
”Very good, before you graduate from the palace, there's a very high chance for you to enter the Middle Palace. Work hard.” Said the old man to Ao Yan who immediately got a smug smile on his face.
”Thank you senior, this lowly one here would like to receive lots of advice from everyone that'll be under the same wing from now on. However, in regards to the number one seat in this group, this lowly one is getting it for sure.” Said Ao Yan smugly.
Looking at this guy proclaim himself number 1 truly put a smile on Mesa's face.
'Ahh…. I really love those arrogant pricks. Seeing their faces go from smug to horror is almost as satisfying as sleeping in nice, comfy bed or taking the most satisfying shit ever.'
”NEXT, Mesa Uchiha”
Hearing his name being called out, Mesa walks up to the profound assessment stone. On the way there he quickly glances at Ao Yan and sees that he still has his smug smile on face. Coming up to the profound assessment stone, Mesa places his hand on it and lets the profound assessment stone measure his strength that he wants it to measure.
Age: 17 year's old
Strength: half-step True Profound Realm
