Chapter 112 - 109: Copper Man Formation
True Qi testing was just the first part of the initial round of the examination: to fully pass this round, one still had to undergo the second part of the test, which assessed a martial artist’s attribute of the cultivation technique.
This test really examined a martial artist’s natural talent for attributes as every martial artist must choose a cultivation technique based on an attribute as their basic practice in martial arts itself is vitally important; most techniques and martial arts revolved around these attributes.
This could be considered a specific test aimed at martial arts talent.
On the other side of the courtyard, the attribute test was in progress, overseen by another elderly man. In front of him, there was a transparent crystal ball. The young martial artists being tested had to only place their hand on it and channel their True Qi into the ball, which would then show various colors representing different attributes; the intensity of the colors varied, indicating the level of their talent.
"Tang Tao, Water Attribute, pale blue, fail!"
The old man looked indifferently at the blue-clad young man in front of him, shaking his head. Having passed the earlier True Qi test was just a small step toward success; this attribute test, however, was much more stringent and critical.
This part of the exam often eliminated many participants.
Ye Xuan was next up after Yang Hang, who took a deep breath. Following the elder’s instructions, Yang placed his hand on the crystal ball, and a strand of True Qi flowed into it.
Hum.
The crystal ball quickly lit up, emitting a ring of rather dazzling golden light.
