Chapter 174
Among the first batch of the young warriors, the one that lasted the longest only scored more than 200 points, and the person temporarily led the ranking on the virtual spirit stele.
However, Anita knew that it was considered a low score as he read the information of the last 20 years.
The most recent high score would be around 1700, but none of the warriors were selected by the sects.
Hence, the 200 points were not even in consideration.
Nevertheless, the warrior that temporarily ranked first appeared to be aware of that too, and he walked back into the crowd, standing there with a disheartened expression.
Soon, the second batch of young warriors in each of the ten regions was ready to enter the formation.
That was also the first time they took the test, and when they realized the difficulty, all of them appeared nervous.
It did not take long before the second batch of the young warriors finished their test.
Once again, the ranking on the virtual spirit stele changed again.
This time, the highest score was more than 400, but it was still considered a low one.
Next, the third, fourth, and fifth batch of young warriors orderly entered the test.
Then, the names and ranking also changed continuously as the light kept appearing.
Anita also paid attention to the virtual spirit stele.
Even after the sixth batch of you warriors finished the test, the highest score still did not exceed 1000, and it was still around 950 points.
‘The scores this year aren’t high at all,’ Anita thought as he peeped at the seemingly empty lawn from the corner of his eye.
The spectating elders of the sects might be in the same mood he was in now. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Half of the participating young warriors went through the test, and the remaining ones would begin theirs soon.
The first half of the test was rather boring, but it was getting more exciting in the seventh round.
Two young warriors from the seventh batch directly raised the previous highest score of 900 points to more than 1400.
That was an increment of 500 points.
This caused a burst of exclamation on the scene.
When Anita peeped at the lawn, he noticed that there were no movements.
Hence, it was apparent that the result was not enough.
There was no surprise in the eighth round, and there was no change with the top ten names on the virtual spirit stele.
Then, in the ninth round, a seemingly unremarkable young girl appeared and broke the current highest record with her 1560 points.
Although the score was considered a pass, the elders of the sects did not come out.
In the tenth round, three young warriors broke into the top ten of the overall ranking.
One of them even caught up with the highest score before and received 1600 points.
At this time, there would only be two rounds left before the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony ended.
Even though the highest scores were constantly refreshed, it was obvious that the points were much lower than the elders of the sects’ expectations.
Thus, the young warriors might have an advantage compared to their peers, but it would be far from being qualified to enter the sect.
At that time, the crowd was quiet, unlike before.
After all, the participating young warriors finally understood the sects’ thresholds were insanely high.
Previously, many of them were high-spirited, believing that their strength could impress the elders.
Then, they would become the first recruited disciple by the sect in recent years.
Nevertheless, the reality was cruel.
The test continued under the depressing atmosphere.
In the eleventh round, the new high score was 1700, which a tall girl achieved, and she was satisfied with the score.
When she looked at the virtual spirit stele, the young girl could not help but smile.
However, she still failed to make the elders of the sect appear.
The joy on the young girl’s face instantly became downcasted.
In the end, she seemed to be teary-eyed, and she was about to cry.
Seeing this scene, Anita secretly sighed.
The 1700 points would be considered high this year and even the recent five years.
Having said that, it was just a high score only.
Some young warriors achieved 1700 points for the past two years, but none of them were chosen into the sect.
Hence, why would the young lady think that she would be accepted?
The next batch would be the final round of the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony, and Anita would be joining.
‘Based on the current situation, 1700 points is the highest score for now.’ Looking at the score, Anita appeared calm.
Before this, he already regarded the highest score beside his as the starting mark.
Therefore, the lower the starting point, the more advantageous it would be for him.
However, Anita did not expect the starting mark to be too low, and 1700 was indeed within his expectations.
Just as Anita was getting ready to enter the Virtual Fantasy Formation, a ruckus was coming from the next area.
Soon, the exclamation became louder, and it spread everywhere.
“It’s Connor Yeager!”
“What! He’s here to join the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony?”
“It’s him!”
“Why didn’t I know of it before!”
“For the sake of hiding his identity, he wore a cloak from the beginning, and he only exposed himself now!”
“Goodness gracious! With him around, the sects in this Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony will not return empty-handed anymore!”
“It‘s so unbelievable that Connor Yeager is joining the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony!”
Among the exclamations, the name, Connor Yeager was mentioned all the time.
Anita also noticed that when the name was brought up, many people appeared shocked.
However, judging from their tone, this man seemed to be capable, and everyone recognized his strength.
Following the source of the voice, Anita looked in the direction and saw that in the center of the ninth district beside him was a guy in white who was being surrounded by people.
The teenager appeared to be around fifteen years old, only slightly younger than Barne.
As the crowd around the teenager greeted him, many of them appeared to be trying to please him.
However, Connor had his arms crossed since the start, and be ignored the people around him as if they did not exist.
Instead, Connor kept staring at the glowing formation, and there was also a hint of annoyance between his brows.
After a while, Connor could not stand the discussion around him anymore, and he frowned.
“It’s so noisy!”
Then, the surroundings quietened.
Connor squinted his eyes and swept his gaze around with a contemptuous look.
“So no one achieves more than 2000 points? I was just feeling excited about joining the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony.
This is such a disappointment.
What a bunch of trash!”
After being ridiculed by him openly, everyone naturally felt indignant.
Immediately, someone asked annoyedly, “Then, how many points can you score?”
“Me?” Connor snorted, “3500 points and I’ll enter the sect too.
I’m afraid that none of you will achieve this mark in your life.”
As soon as he said that, the crowd went into an uproar.
3500 points?!
That would be double the current highest score.
Moreover, looking at the past two decades would also rank first, and no one could match!
