Chapter 418 Second Chance
"How could this happen? This is impossible!" Others don't know, but Kailin knows that Louis has divine magic in his body, otherwise he can't drive the Ice and Snow Elf Staff.
But Louis' name is not among the candidates who passed the assessment directly in the first round. How is this possible!
"This sir..." Some people from the second or third level regional power temples of the Holy Mountain did not know the old man in front of them. At this moment, they looked at Claude with great confusion: "This sir, I don't know what the assessment just now is? Why did several of them advance directly?"
The person who asked the question took a look and found that there were about 20 people who advanced directly, and almost all of them were from the three major temples at the top of the Holy Mountain.
"Is there something fishy about this? Isn't it deliberately making fun of us? Is it possible that the quota for the final pilgrimage to the top of the Holy Mountain is predetermined?" Some people even raised such malicious doubts, so that his companions all expressed their agreement, and some bold ones even began to take advantage of the chaos to make a fuss and accuse Claude.
"Hmph." Claude glanced at the audience with a cold look, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes: "These few people are clever, but they want to arouse public opinion to change the situation or isolate those who are directly promoted? It is indeed a good thing to be clever, but unfortunately, in the face of the justice of the human race, these cleverness is more likely to do harm, so..."
"Now I announce the direct elimination quota! Those whose names I report, get out of the peak of the Holy Mountain!"
"XXX! XXX! XXX! All of you, get out!" Claude sneered and read out three names. These three were the three guys who hid in the crowd and set the pace before.
But at this moment, these three guys seemed to be unconvinced: "Why do you eliminate us directly? We are all the first geniuses of our respective temples..."
"Get out!" Before he finished speaking, the old temple master shouted lightly, and a strong air wave whistled directly towards the three people, accurately hitting the three people from the crowd, and directly blasted them out of this secret realm.
The three of them had bad intentions, and they contradicted the old hall master Claude, and were directly eliminated from the first round of the Holy Mountain Peak Pilgrimage. What awaited them must be extremely severe punishment from their respective temples.
Although the old hall master Claude would not pursue them, those temples dared not remain indifferent to this, so the future of these three people must be extremely miserable.
"Okay, no more nonsense. Those who registered their names and advanced directly, walk out of the door behind me, and the others are taking an assessment! Remember, only half of you can enter the second round!"
The first round of assessment actually divided the people who came to participate in the Holy Mountain Peak Pilgrimage this time into three equal parts. The more than 20 people who advanced directly are destined to become the first echelon of this Holy Mountain Pilgrimage, and all resources will be tilted towards them.
And the remaining people, including Louis, passed the previous hidden test. From a normal perspective, it is obvious that they are not as talented or as perceptive as the more than 20 people in front. The twenty people in front are the main force of this Holy Mountain Pilgrimage.
But the remaining people in the second echelon are not without a chance. If they perform well in the next few rounds of assessments or tests, they may still have a chance to catch up with the first echelon.
It's just that normally this chance is too slim, almost no one can do it, of course one person must be excluded, that is Louis.
It's not that Louis can't enter the first echelon, but he really disdains this test method. What about absorbing and refining violent magic? Can he just swim and dive in the gray sea?
This test method is really childish in front of him, just like a chick that just emerged from an egg asking an adult eagle if it can fly.
"Louis... Then we'll go first." At this moment, the door behind Claude has been opened, and all the people in the first echelon are going there. Kailin also reluctantly looked at Louis one by one. Although she didn't know why Louis didn't advance directly to the second round, she believed that with Louis' ability, he would definitely pass it smoothly.
"Don't worry, I'll catch up with you soon." Louis rubbed Kailin's head, then looked at Bessie: "You are my sister, help me take care of her, I will meet you soon."
"Don't worry, I know." Bessie blushed, responded softly, and then pulled Kailin to the platform and the door behind Claude.
Louis watched them go away, but found that a young man was looking at him coldly, exuding a fierce aura.
"Huh?" Louis frowned, he could feel that the strength of this young man was very strong, it can be said that he was far better than him, if he acted rashly, Louis would not be sure to defeat him.
The young man didn't seem to have any intention of taking action here, but his eyes were full of inexplicable hostility. After looking at Louis coldly, he started to walk directly to the door behind the platform.
"Who is he?" Louis didn't know when he had offended him, and he seemed to have never seen him at all in his impression.
But he didn't want to think about it for the time being, and he didn't plan to be absent in the next assessment, after all, he didn't feel at ease with Kailin alone in front.
"I think you are all a little confused as to why some people advance and some leave for no apparent reason?" Claude looked down. "Because just now when I was teaching you the knowledge, I actually hid a small test in it."
"Those who advanced first are more talented and have more potential than you, so they advanced first. But don't be nervous, you still have a chance, and the second assessment will begin next."
"For this assessment, I can tell you clearly that I have a black gem in my hand. Whoever senses and absorbs the energy in it first can go directly to the second round of assessment."
"But let me say this in advance. The second round of assessment can only accommodate 50 people at most. More than 20 people have already gone there, so the remaining places... are naturally first come first served!"
After speaking, Claude waved his hand suddenly, and a gem flashing with black light flew out of his hand in an instant, suspended in the center of the hall. The black light instantly enveloped the entire hall, and a violent atmosphere spread directly.
The assessment began. The test goal this time was very clear. Everyone sat cross-legged at the same time, trying to communicate with the gem with their fighting spirit or magic power.
But at this moment, Louis suddenly showed a disdainful expression, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he walked directly towards the door behind Claude on the high platform.
