Chapter 623
The immortal sect selection second round was in full swing. The atmosphere at the scene was still high. Every time an excellent score appeared, it would always attract the attention of the camera lens. If there was an extraordinary score, the exclamations would be like a wave.
The reporters of An Hu TV Station shuttled through the venue. Every time a player who had received an excellent score appeared, they would immediately release a speed that was not inferior to that of a 100-meter flying person and rush forward. The cameraman elder brother was not slow either. He carried the heavy camera as fast as flying.
“h.e.l.lo, sir. I am a reporter from An Hu TV Station. May I ask you…”
“Sorry, I’m not free. Excuse me.”
Rejecting three consecutive calls made the tall female reporter’s hand, which was holding out the microphone, freeze in mid-air. She laughed dryly, “It seems that this is a relatively low-key player. Let us interview the others.”
“h.e.l.lo…”
“No.”
The tall female reporter, “…”
She flipped the table! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
However, when she looked around, she saw that every contestant was in a hurry.
The semi-finals had a limited time. It was too late to partic.i.p.ate in all eighteen tests. The contestants judged that they would be able to obtain more points in that test. It was also because of the wisdom in the test. Under such circ.u.mstances, every contestant wished they could partic.i.p.ate in one or two more tests. They even decisively abandoned the opportunity to act tough.
Occasionally, there would be a few contestants who were willing to answer questions. They would only answer one or two questions before rushing to another queue and waiting for the a.s.sessment.
After dozens of minutes pa.s.sed, the tall slender female reporter was panting, shaking up and down her steamed bun, and sweat completely wet the front of her clothes.
The other reporters of the An Hu TV station were already dying. This year’s contestants really couldn’t wait on them.
Therefore, the TV station changed its strategy and no longer chased after the contestants who performed well. Instead, it waited for them to catch up and watch the performance of some seeded players.
“Dear viewers, I am now in the willpower examination area.”
The strength of the will was originally a very difficult to define existence, but in the hands of the immortal sects, there was a way to measure it and a unified standard.
The tall female reporter stepped aside, and the camera lens drew closer, focusing on one of the demon statues.
The demon statues that everyone saw were the a.s.sessment facilities. The demon’s gaze had extraordinary pressure, and it could make people feel fear. And what the player had to do was to persevere for a certain period of time under the demon’s gaze.
Persisting for ten seconds was qualified, and 18 seconds could be an excellent evaluation, and as long as one persisted for thirty seconds, one would be extraordinary.
Everyone knew that the strength of the willpower a.s.sessment had a score of 3.5 points. This meant that as long as one obtained a Beyonder evaluation, one would be able to obtain a high score of 10.5 points, comparable to a pa.s.sing score of ten ordinary goals! Of course, currently, there had yet to be any contestants who had obtained a Beyonder evaluation. Currently, the strongest person who had persisted for the longest time was 25 seconds. It was said that even veterans who had experienced battles on the battlefield might not be able to last ten seconds.”
While the female reporter was explaining, there were several contestants who went up on stage, but most of them only lasted for five or seven seconds before they were defeated.
It was not that these contestants were weak. There were almost no mediocre people who could pa.s.s the audition. However, the difficulty of this willpower a.s.sessment was much harder than the last time — “Devil Gaze” was now one of the official training programs for the awakened ones under Tree Shade.
The willpower test was one of the most popular tests in the second round. However, no one managed to last more than ten seconds in the next few minutes. The whole process was calm, and the female reporter couldn’t help but change the topic.
She had to change the topic.
“Everyone, pay attention to the eyes of the demon statue. The eyes are very vivid, especially as the contestant persists for a long time, the eyes of the demon will become brighter… Oh, look at the stone block under the statue. There seems to be some small words carved on it…”
The camera slowly closed, and the female reporter stared at it and murmured,
“When you stare into the abyss, the abyss: What are you looking at?”
At this time, she caught a glimpse of a partic.i.p.ant with golden hair and purple pupils. A different appearance from those of Anxia.
“It’s a member of the Violet Imperial Family. That family was born with purple pupils.”
The female reporter remembered that Zi Luolan had achieved good results in several of the previous tests. She immediately asked the camera to point the camera at the other party.
There were many others. Under the hundreds of years of gene optimization of the Violet Imperial Family, that beautiful face was worth a round of cameras.
Zi Luolan ignored everything around her. She took a step forward and stood two meters in front of the demon statue.
The sweat on her forehead swept away, and her purple pupils met the demon’s eyes.
In a split second,
An invisible pressure enveloped her, and everything in the surroundings seemed to have gone far away, leaving only that pair of demon eyes that continuously enlarged in her vision.
Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and the fear in her heart gradually grew, making people want to look away.
However,
Zi Luolan continued to persevere.
Her face became paler and paler, but there was no fear.
Five seconds, ten seconds, fifteen seconds…
“Heavens, twenty-five seconds, the record has been broken!”
The female reporter, the exclamations of the surrounding contestants, could not reach Zi Luolan’s ears at all. It was as if she was in a completely sealed s.p.a.ce, unable to sense the flow of time.
Finally,
Hu —
On the demon statue, the pair of red eyes dimmed and returned to their original state.
Zi Luolan staggered and withdrew from her staring state.
And the time,
Forty-two seconds!
…
On the other side, in the perceptual examination area.
In the circular area with a radius of twenty-five meters, there were countless tiny fountain holes in between. From time to time, water columns would spurt out from the fountain holes.
The ten partic.i.p.ants in the examination area were dodging the water columns in a sorry state.
After being shot three times by the water pillars, they could only regretfully be eliminated.
These water pillars erupted without any pattern. Only a slight movement could be detected before they erupted. However, the stadium was extremely noisy. Ten contestants stayed in a small area together. They were even interfering with each other.
Not long after, all of them were eliminated.
Batches after batches of people came forward to take the test, batch after batch of people left in disappointment. Occasionally, only a few people qualified. In terms of difficulty, it was higher than the willpower test.
A blind young girl walked up to the examination area. The young girl’s ordinary appearance was not outstanding in the selection. At the beginning, there was no one care about her, and she seemed to have no sense of existence. However, as the partic.i.p.ants in the region were eliminated one after another, the young girl gradually appeared in the eyes of the people now. Her speed was not fast, but she was like a prophet. Before the water column sprayed out, she left the fountain hole first.
When the ninth contestant was eliminated, she was still not wet by the water column.
It was only when more and more water columns shot out at the same time that the blind young girl could not avoid defeat.
Another extraordinary!
…
At the same time,
In the combat examination area, a young man holding a spear climbed up the steps.
