C885 The Secret to Ranking on the Monument

Most of the cultivators that came here went to the Assessment Stele Square, so Zhong Ming didn't need to purposely go to the main hall to find it, because during this period of time, this was the most lively place. As long as there was one person that came to take the test, they would all be surrounded and watched by many people, wanting to see the results of their test.2

If he hadn't passed by this place, he really wouldn't have come here on purpose. After all, he still had to avoid the 'Three Monsters of the East', and if Xiao Hongyu told them that he really was the 'Void Spirit Pill' in his box, it would be best if he was not killed by them. It would be much safer to not reveal himself in front of the crowd, so Zhong Ming felt that he would test himself when it was dark and everyone left.

Zhong Ming stood at the side and listened to the discussions, looking at the people who were about to place the test, it was his first time seeing such a scene, but there were too many people here, more than what he had imagined, almost occupying the entire plaza.

"Do you think Zhao Xinyu will surpass Su Qing this time?" One of them asked the person beside him.

"It's hard to say, this Su Qing has always been the number one Core Formation cultivator, he is a popular figure in the 'Royal Thunder Sect', a proud son of heaven. He cultivates with a great amount of resources, Zhao Xinyu will find it very difficult to surpass him." This person was very happy to have someone ask him this kind of question. He was very familiar with these top characters, so he started to talk about them.

"I don't think so. I don't think they're on par with each other. Maybe they'll surpass him this time. I heard that Zhao Xinyu's cultivation has increased again in the past half year. The Spirit Sword Sect is also very strong." Another person objected.

"I don't know if Zhao Xinyu's technique can surpass Su Qing's, but his sister Zhao Xingran is the prettiest girl in East Continent. Her figure and appearance is really unforgettable, but it's a pity that she didn't come today. Someone said in a infatuated manner.

"Ol 'Three, be careful. There are many people who admire Zhao Xingran. Don't let them hear you and beat you up." Someone reminded him.

The person called Ol 'Three was so frightened that his neck shrunk back. It was possible that there were Zhao Xingran's secret admirers here. He knew his limits and quickly covered his mouth and continued to look at Zhao Xinyu.

From their conversation, Zhong Ming also understood that this Zhao Xinyu was a disciple of the 'Spirit Sword Sect', but Zhao Xingran seemed to have heard of him before, and it should have been mentioned by the East Continent people before. Zhong Ming still had some impression of him.

It seemed that this Zhao Xinyu was not a simple person. There was also Su Qing, who was actually the number one Core Formation cultivator, but the top ten on the monument were very mysterious. After not showing his face all these years, it was likely that he did not live either.

The cultivator in front of the monument seemed to be the Zhao Xinyu that everyone was talking about. The cultivator was dressed in earthen yellow clothes with gold lining and shimmering golden under the sunlight, but he was still relatively calm, unlike the swaggering clothes. As his clothes fluttered in the wind, the Qi of this cultivator did not diminish, and Zhong Ming felt that this cultivator was much stronger than the Tao fellow.

No matter what the people around him thought, this cultivator did not care, and continued to move his own true essence, suddenly a strong aura burst out, causing the people around to be suppressed by the aura until they did not speak anymore, and the place immediately became quiet, at this moment, the cultivators' clothes were fluttering, and their entire bodies were soaring into the sky along with the aura, like an eagle soaring, everyone discovered that his flying speed was still very fast, but as he flew higher and higher, he started to slow down, probably being suppressed by the stone tablet.

When he flew more than ten metres away, he was also forced to stop and write his name on the stone tablet. When Zhong Ming saw that this person's name was gold, he quickly disappeared along with the color of the stone tablet, it seemed that this person was a metal type cultivation technique, following the disappearance of his name, the stone tablet had already displayed his rank, and it actually surpassed Su Qing's rank, which was ranked eleventh. This situation caused a commotion among the people, and soon after, cheers and applause resounded around the square.

"What did I say? Zhao Xinyu really did surpass Su Qing, he's the number one in our East Continent now." The cultivator that was optimistic about this person said proudly.

"I never thought that in just a few short months, his cultivation technique would advance by leaps and bounds. He's simply a genius." Someone echoed.

Zhong Ming saw that Zhao Xinyu did not seem to be satisfied with this result. Could it be that he still wanted to surpass the top ten?

"Senior brother Zhao …"

"Zhao Xinyu …"

Before he could even walk out of the square, he was surrounded by his admirers, cheering for him. However, at this moment, Zhao Xinyu had only greeted them with a fist before flying into the air, leaving behind these admirers. They continued to discuss excitedly, but his departure did not reduce their enthusiasm in the slightest.

Even though Zhao Xinyu had left, his name had already been left on the stone monument. This was the glory of a cultivator, the glory of a sect. Many cultivators were eager to see someone leave their name here, wanting to test themselves.

However, most people here knew that not everyone could leave behind their name after the stone tablet had been erected here for tens of thousands of years. None of them had the ability to come here and they would be mocked by the cultivators here.

Zhong Ming also knew that the rule of the exam was that a person could have two chances to pass. This stone tablet would leave behind the best result, which was also his final ranking.

Even so, most of the people here only used it once, because those who didn't succeed the first time didn't have the confidence to try again. Perhaps they couldn't handle the problem in their hearts, or maybe they couldn't handle the blow that didn't succeed the second time.

Moreover, these failed cultivators wouldn't be highly regarded by the great sects. These people didn't have any value in cultivation, and due to their weak mental states, it was difficult for them to travel further on the path of cultivation.

Zhong Ming silently looked at the people here, and at this moment, no one took the test, Zhong Ming felt that he had watched enough and that there were some people who knew that no one else could come here to test, and all left, one by one. Zhong Ming also wanted to leave and find a place to rest, and when the people here lessened, there would be someone who could not stay calm, even though there were still many people here who wanted to test his strength, to feel the mysteriousness brought to him by the stone tablet.

At this time, this young man mustered up his courage and stood in front of the monument, staring up at it …
