Chapter 224: Accelerated Martial Examination
The martial examination of the admission trial was going to last a total of twelve days, an overkill for any other martial examination, but not in this instance, especially when there were ten thousand participants involved and each having to go on stage thrice.
As soon as a match ended, the competitors would leave the stage to make way for the next fight in a timely fashion, followed by the calculator announcing the next fighters to get ready.
The sheer efficiency made the martial examination that much faster. In Wang Qi’s words, it was faster than a load screen’s progress bar.
Countless eyes watched this carousel of an examination, with most being from competitors interested in the disciples of other Immortal Institutions similarly ranked as they were. All wracked their brains in figuring out their opponents’ traits in hope of coming up with a sensible tactic to their advantage, if not outright win.
There was also a small minority of onlookers who came in the capacity of sect recruiters.
Any and all Immortal Institute disciples were handpicked talents from across the Divine Province. They wouldn’t bother with average sects’ invitations, their eyes on the five best or first-rate sects.
Over time, small sects stopped coming to the Immortal Institutions, instead conducting small-scale examinations in every branch’s location for the Dao seekers failing to enter the Immortal Institute. But there was no lack of the tail ends of the Immortal Institute ranking that were happy to choose a smaller pond and play as princes in a second-rate sect. Hence the presence of few seniors from these groups.
In these people’s eyes, this trial was like no other.
Immortal Alliance wasn’t after killers and warriors. They weren’t worth a dime as far as it was concerned, not when Dao seekers could do so much more.
