The exam room is quite simple.

A knight held a crystal clear jade in his hand and placed it on a table, while another knight placed a half-man-high instrument in the square. The examiner Knight announced: "If the star source power reaches the second level, or the force of a punch reaches 300 kilograms, it is considered to pass the assessment. Now, the first person to be tested, Naike, the son of the hunter."

Suddenly, in the crowd, a tall and old child walked forward and said, "I chose the Star Source Power Assessment."

As he said that, he walked forward and covered his palm on the jade. After a gentle contemplation, a triangle mark appeared on his palm, and a ray of starlight appeared. It was the legendary star source mark. For a moment, the energy in the jade resonated with the star source power, and the brightness became higher and higher, and finally stopped.

"The star source power has reached the first level and is not qualified!" the examiner announced loudly.

Immediately afterwards, the second, third, and fourth, more and more children are receiving assessments, but only a few are able to cultivate the star source power to the second level before the age of 16.

Not long after, the examiner finally reported to Lolan's name: "Next, Lolan, son of the hunter!"

For a moment, a burst of laughter came from the crowd.

Luo Lan looked at them, and the laughter in the crowd suddenly became much smaller. Only one of the boys in luxurious white clothes sneered and said, "What are you looking at? The 16-year-old waste who still has no awakened star power. Do you think you can pass the assessment today?"

"Rega!"

Luo Lan gritted her teeth, but did not bother with him, turned around and walked towards the examiner, and said respectfully: "Sir, I choose the strength test."

"Okay, go ahead and punch with your best strength."

"yes!"

Luo Lan stepped forward and was like practicing boxing. She slowly split her legs and her strength fell. Then she penetrated her arms into her strength, and her right fist was accumulating force, and punched the heavy force test instrument!

"Peng—"

The crisp sound stirred in the wind. Luo Lan's punch was so strong that the instrument trembled suddenly. The marbles inside the instrument also kept colliding, and finally 29 marbles appeared in the groove.

"Um?"

The Knight, who served as the examiner, was slightly shocked and said, "The power reached 290 kilograms, but unfortunately, you were eliminated."

"Is it still not possible?"

Luo Lan stood there blankly and said, "Sir... The Knight before said that the passing standard of the assessment is 200 kilograms, why this time..."

The examiner looked at him with pity and said, "It was the order issued by the Knight Master. The knight who failed to awaken the star source power only had brute force after all and could not exert the true power of the various combat skills of the Knight of Light. Therefore, to reduce the number of places to be selected, the standard of selection will be increased. Your 290 kilograms of power is already quite good, but it is a little bit bad to transport. Go back, kid..."

"Yes..." Luo Lan left with disappointed look on her face.

"Next, Rega, the son of the merchant!"

"Yes, sir!"

Rega stepped forward with a proud look on his face and said, "Sir, I chose the Star Source Power Test."

"good."

The next second, Lei Jia covered his palms on the jade, his eyes closed slightly, and the star source mark in his palm suddenly burst out with dazzling light. At the next moment, the examiner Knight happily said: "Yes, second-level star source power, you have passed the assessment, stand behind me!"

"Thank you, sir!"

In the square, there were constantly passing the assessment children standing behind the examiner Knight. In the end, 7 of the 83 children passed the assessment, including Rega, and Lolan was obviously among the eliminated ones.

...

In the evening, a carriage from Aylan City entered the village and sent the children who passed the assessment and their luggage to Aylan City, and were guarded by two knights.

Under the stars, in the woodland outside the village.

"Pushpeng~~~"

Fell fell on the tree with one punch, and Loran seemed to have lost his pain. The powerful force made the trunk buzz, and a strong sense of frustration filled his whole mind.

In the Star Source Continent, everything is power-oriented. The opening of the Sky Gate back then allowed countless monsters to run rampant on the continent. The battle between humans and monsters in the empire never stopped for a moment. Those who can fight against monsters awaken the Star Source Seal and have the Star Source Power are almost all prerequisites. Whether it is to become a knight, a wizard, or a warrior, a hunter, etc. in the future, all this must be based on the awakening of the Star Source Seal, because the Star Source Power is the foundation of the power of this continent.

Since you have lost the last chance of the Awakening Star Source Seal, you can only become an ordinary farmer, hunter, and you don’t even have the chance to become a mercenary.

...

He was exhausted and covered with scars on his fists. He sat down slowly, leaning under the tree and watching the lights in the village far away.

Originally, if Lolan wanted to become a knight, he would use his considerable knight income to support his mother. He would never let his mother pick wild fruits every day, but also wash clothes for the hard work in the village. Even if he could not become a knight, he would at least awaken the first-level star power, become a qualified mercenary or guard, and take on the responsibilities that a man should have.

However, everything in front of him was destroyed. There was no star source power in his body, and the strength assessment was also not passed. The long-term lack of nutrition made his cheekbones slightly prominent, and the muscles on his arms were not full enough, and he looked thin. If it weren't for his eyes full of energy, he would probably be no different from those beggars passing by the village.

The weather is getting colder and winter is coming. If you don’t have enough income, you may have a problem with your mother’s winter cotton coat.

At this moment, Lolan made up his mind that although he could not become a knight, he would be a real man, bring a bow and arrow and a short sword, go into the mountains to search for those beasts that are about to pass the winter, and hunt some prey to support the family income. At least, this strength can always be used. At this moment, his eyes gradually became stronger.

But at this moment, suddenly, a strong sound of horse hooves came from afar, and then a series of fires appeared in the village. It was definitely not the light of the pine oil lamp, but... the village was on fire!

Immediately afterwards, you can hear the cry of women and the wailing of men from afar.

"No, something happened in the village!"

Luo Lan suddenly stood up, regardless of her fatigue and the injuries of her palm, her whole body seemed to be following the clockwork, and suddenly bent and then stretched straight. She rushed out with a "puff". The direction she was heading straight was the location of the hut where her mother lived: "Is it a monster? No... The monsters in the mountains have been killed by the great knights of the Knights of the Light. It is impossible to come to the village. What would that be?!"

He ran wildly and thought quickly. The thorns in the mountains kept drawing wounds on his legs, but at this time, Luo Lan could no longer feel it. He rushed home in the shortest time. Then when his eyes touched his home, he saw that the wooden house had a raging fire, and a body was lying there beside the fence outside the wooden house.

That's...his mother!

"Buzz--"

In an instant, Luo Lan's mind was blank, and she fell on her mother's body like a crazy little beast. When she looked up, she found that her mother's head was chopped off, just in the grass not far away. It can be imagined that she was cut off by a sword, and she died here. Even her mother's body was still twitching slowly.

The murderer was not far away. One of them held a sharp sword in his hand and was stabbing the sword blade into the chest of the neighbor's carpenter. He suddenly drew the sword, and a bunch of blood sprayed out. Just as the carpenter was killed, another knight reached out to catch the carpenter's teenage daughter, skillfully tied his hands, and placed it on the horse's back.

...

The turbulent anger did not make Luo Lan lose her judgment and calmness. He knew that the one who killed his mother was a great knight, and a great knight was not so easy to be killed. At least he had no chance to face him. So he did not cry even a sound from beginning to end, but instead burst into tears. He reached out to grab the blade of the sickle, and his whole body was like a ghost, and he walked towards the murderer who was killing.

"Swish!"

Just as he approached his opponent, Luo Lan suddenly jumped and his body fell down quickly like a fallen leaf. He held the blade of the sickle in his right hand, and the force in his arm burst out. Suddenly, the blade turned into a cold light and wiped towards the opponent's neck.

“Huh?!”

The knight suddenly turned around, but saw Luo Lan's angry eyes and a thunderous blow. The sickle blade sniffed the skin between his neck with a "sweep". But just as Luo Lan continued to exert force, a layer of starlight covered the knight's skin. It was one of the defensive combat skills of the Imperial Knight, the starlight protecting the body, turning the star source power into a protective force!

"Peng..."

With a loud bang, the rusty sickle blade in Luolan's hand shattered almost instantly, and even stabbed his palm. However, Luolan seemed to be unable to feel the pain. He opened his left hand and clenched his five fingers towards the other party's eyes like an eagle claw, fast and fierce!

"What a wild boy!"

The knight shouted lowly, and the star source power surged all over his body. His head suddenly tilted at a speed that Luolan could not imagine. While avoiding his attack, the sword blade hanged backwards and slammed Luolan's shoulder with a heavy hilt of "blow". There was even a sound similar to a broken bone. Then the knight suddenly opened his hand, and his five fingers like iron pliers snatched Luolan's neck, and the corner of his mouth was full of sneer: "What are you? You want to kill a big knight with your strength? What a joke!"

Luo Lan didn't say a word, unable to breathe and exposed the blue veins, nor did she struggle, but she suddenly kicked out and headed straight for the lower jaw of the knight's helmet. With a "blow", his helmet was kicked off, and a face with crossed sword marks appeared. For a moment, the knight was angry and said, "If you didn't have to sell for a few dollars, I'll let you go in a different place now!"

As he said that, he suddenly hit Luo Lan's hilt and hit Luo Lan's abdomen again. The blow was heavy enough and the burning feeling of star power. Luo Lan's mind suddenly blanked and she fainted.

...

Under the moonlight, the village was washed away by blood, and a group of knights plundered the only wealth in the village and left here with all the children. Everything that happened in the forest seemed to be here and no one knew about it.
