Chapter 297 The Disciple Recruitment Ceremony Began
Following the fourth elder’s words, the disciple recruitment ceremony officially began.
In an instant, a magic array rose around the huge square. Amidst the colorful lights, it gathered into a huge protective shield-like object.
However, this was only the beginning. The moment the protective shield was formed, a powerful pressure descended from the sky, pressing down on everyone and Summoned Beasts like Mount Tai.
On the square, everyone felt intense pressure. The pressure was too strong, making it difficult for them to breathe and stand steadily. It could be said that the moment the gravity started, a large number of people were pressed to the ground, making it impossible for them to get up.
However, some of the youths with tenacious wills forcefully relied on their willpower to stand up. They withstood the pressure and forced themselves to stand up.
The two elders on the high platform nodded in satisfaction when they saw this scene. When they saw the Lightning Wolf girl and the bald youth standing proudly, the two elders even smiled.
The two elders turned their heads once again and saw the handsome young master struggling to hold on. He was pressured to the point of wanting to fall to the ground a few times, but he still tried his best to stand up.
Although his performance was very poor, he was considered qualified to stand up. However, when the two elders looked at the little fatty, their faces turned black.
It was because the little fatty was under great pressure, he could not stand up at all. He lay on the ground with sweat all over his head. He wanted to get up, but it was too tiring, so he actually gave up.
This scene was simply too infuriating. The fourth elder, who was about to take the little fatty as a disciple, could not help but feel a little depressed.
“His temperament is too bad. Such a disciple doesn’t have the qualifications to join our Beast Tamer Sect. However, he has a Stone Golem Summoned Beast. We can’t give up.” The fourth elder sighed.
“Yeah, this little fatty will restrict the development of the Summoned Beast in the future. What a pity.” The fifth elder shook his head as well, feeling very disappointed with the little fatty.
The main reason was that there were many ordinary people present. These people were sweating profusely as they struggled to hold on. There was even a skinny little girl who did not have any strength on her at all. She was actually holding her head up to withstand this tyrannical pressure.
However, the little fatty was lying on the ground and had never gotten up. His strength was truly disappointing.
“It’s such a pity. The pressure comes based on one’s own strength. Although the little fatty is an ordinary person, the pressure isn’t that great. He can’t even withstand this little bit of pressure. He’s really very weak.” The two elders spoke softly. They felt that the little fatty was a little too weak.
However, at this moment when they were paying attention, the Stone Golem moved. The Stone Golem picked up the Little Fatty and forced him to stand.
Immediately after, a few earth thorns rose from the ground and surrounded the little fatty. As long as the little fatty fell, he would definitely lie on top of the earth thorns.
This would definitely cause a lot of damage. The most important thing was that there was an earth thorn below the little fatty’s crotch. That sharp earth thorn made people’s scalps go numb.
The little fatty could not hold on at first, but when he saw this scene, it was as if his strength had exploded. He gritted his teeth and carried it with all his might. He did not dare to lie down anymore. He did not even dare to squat down.
This scene caused the two elders to be stunned. Their minds could not wrap themselves around it. Even the ninth junior sister, the beautiful woman, turned her head and looked over.
“This Stone Goelm is so ruthless. How could he treat his master like this? This is the first time I’ve seen such a Summoned Beast in my long life.”
“He is indeed ruthless, but the effect is very good. He helped the little fatty. It seems that the Stone Golem has high intelligence, higher than ordinary Bronze Rank Summoned Beasts.”
The fourth and fifth elders said in surprise. They were amazed by the Stone Golem’s intelligence.
When the beautiful woman saw the stone man, she actually looked at the Stone Golem with a puzzled gaze. She did not know why, but she felt that the Stone Golemn was familiar.
Buzz!
The intense pressure disappeared, and everyone felt their shoulders lighten, becoming several times more relaxed.
After some people withstood the pressure, they directly collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. They felt as if they had been fished out of the water, their bodies soaked in sweat.
Fortunately, after these people recovered, they hurriedly stood up and waited for the second round of the test in surprise.
This was the case for the little fatty. The moment the pressure disappeared, he directly fell down. If not for the earth spike disappearing fast enough, the little fatty would have lost his limb.
“Big Brother Stone, can we not have this kind of earth spike? It’s too scary,” the little fatty said with lingering fear.
“The next time a wind blade will appear. It will cut a piece of your flesh if you move,” Li Xuan said indifferently.

“Don’t… Don’t… the wind blade can’t be fixed, and it’s easy to hurt people. It’s better to use the earth spike.”
The little fatty hurriedly shook his head. He was really afraid. It was very difficult to maintain the wind blade. If one was not careful, something would happen. Although the earth spike was dangerous, it did not move. As long as one held on, they could survive. “Okay, get up.”
Li Xuan picked up the little fatty again and waited for the second round to begin.
“The first round is over. The losers need to leave the stage!”
Following the fourth elder’s words, dozens of figures flashed through the air, bringing those who could not hold on and sending them out of the enchantment.
Not long after, more than half of the people in the barrier were gone. Most of the remaining people had tenacious natures, which were also the most basic natures in cultivation.
“The second round, begin!”
Following the fourth elder’s words, rays of light appeared in the barrier. These rays of light kept sweeping around and soon locked onto more than ten people, who were then taken away by force.
Seeing this scene, Li Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, “People with evil intentions? It’s a bit like the Perception Beast from back then.”
“The third round, aptitude test.”
The fourth elder spoke again. He raised an ancient token up high. In an instant, white light flashed within the barrier, enveloping every human. Yes, it was every human, not the Summoned Beasts.
The summoned beast was important and could be given extra points. However, the owner also needed to have the corresponding aptitude to cultivate spiritual qi. This was the most basic aptitude.
In short, after this test, everyone would be divided into three, six, and nine grades.
Following the white light test, aline of words appeared on top of many people’s heads. That was the test result.
Low-grade, low-grade, low-grade.
Almost all of them had a low-grade aptitude. Even the Lightning Blade girl, Lei Wushuang, had low-grade aptitude. This caused the elders to frown.
“High-grade aptitude, I have a high-grade aptitude, Hahaha.”
The little fatty looked at the test result in the white light. He was jumping around excitedly. He was so happy that he wanted to go to the heavens.
“It’s just high-grade. The bald youth over there also has high-grade talent. The handsome young master is top-grade.”
Li Xuan said indifferently and turned his head to look at the handsome young master beside the berserk ape. “Top-grade? He actually has top-grade talent?” The little fatty was stunned and immediately turned his head to look at the handsome young master. As expected, he saw the top-grade talent written in the white light.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The fourth and fifth elders flashed at the same time and instantly stood in front of the handsome young master. They said amiably, “Little guy, what’s your name?”
“My name is Zhou Xiaochen. I’m from the Zhou family in Fuyang,” the handsome young master hurriedly said. “Very good. Zhou Xiaochen, are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?”
The two elders spoke at the same time and stared at Zhou Xiaochen without blinking.
“Uh…”
Looking at the two elders, Zhou Xiaochen felt a headache coming on. He couldn’t help but say, “I… I like to use long-range attacks. I wonder which of the two elders is better.”
“Of course, it’s me. I’m the fifth elder of the Beast Tamer Sect. I’m best at researching spells,” the fifth elder said excitedly. “Actually, close combat isn’t bad either. Using your own strength to defeat others is the greatest joy.”
As the fourth elder spoke, his thin body suddenly expanded, turning from an old man into a muscular man.
Gulp!
When Zhou Xiaochen saw this scene, he hurriedly took a few steps back, thinking to himself, ‘so ugly, I would rather die than acknowledge him as my master.’
Then, he turned his head and knelt down to fifth elder beside him, “Greetings, master.”
“You…”
When the fourth elder saw this scene, he was a little depressed. He turned from a bloated man back into an ordinary old man. Finally, he shook his head and walked over to the Mystic Turtle and the bald youth.
“Little baldy, are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?” The fourth elder looked at the beautiful woman and asked.
This bald youth came from the beautiful woman’s family. Logically speaking, he should acknowledge the beautiful woman as his master. However, the beautiful woman seemed to be in a daze, giving the fourth elder a chance.
“Greetings, master!” The bald youth did not hesitate and immediately knelt down to express his stance.
“Good, good, good. In the future, I will let you become the strongest close combat warrior. Hahaha.”
The fourth elder laughed heartily and was very satisfied with taking in this disciple. Especially when he thought of the other party’s body tempering technique, his mood became even better.
Unfortunately, in terms of aptitude, the little baldy could not compare to Zhou Xiaochen just now. His growth limit was probably not as good as Zhou Xiaochen’s. This also caused the fourth elder to feel somewhat helpless.
Whoosh!
The beautiful woman’s figure floated up. Under everyone’s envious gazes, she was like a fairy as she slowly landed in front of Li Xuan.
That pair of warm and beautiful eyes carefully sized her up. After sizing her up for a full minute, she finally turned her head and said to the little fatty.
“Little fatty, are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?”
