With the sound of a gong in the square, it indicates that the first person who passed the first round of assessment has appeared.

Then, there were more and more clangs, and more and more people passing the first round.

However, this scene inevitably had an impact on some people...

It was like on a pharmacy refining platform next to Ye Chen. I don’t know if it was stimulated by so many people who passed through it. The young alchemist was obviously anxious, and then Ye Chen’s afterwards saw the black gas rising from his purple medicine cauldron.

Failed!

Although there is still one piece of material left, time is no longer allowed.

Ye Chen looked at the other party's annoyed look and could only shake his head...

He has a lack of mind and even such simple interference will be affected. Obviously, he is still too immature. Even if he has become a third-grade alchemist, he is still unqualified.

I hope this incident can teach him a lesson...

It was just a simple third-grade elixir. For Ye Chen now, he was just a good move, but he didn't show too much. He only refined it when time was almost up.

Next, someone will come to check the quality of the pill. As long as it is not a waste pill, it can generally be considered as a pass, so this first round is not difficult overall.

A middle-aged man wearing a fourth-grade alchemist robe came to Ye Chen and looked at the white-fourth-grade alchemist badge on the other party's chest. It was obviously an alchemist who passed the assessment point from the Dan family.

Middle-aged man just glanced at Ye Chen and saw that the other party's chest was only a third-grade alchemist level, and he suddenly lost interest. He just picked up the Shengli Pill in front of him, looked carefully, then nodded, and said, "Yes, although the quality of this Shengli Pill is not top-notch, it is also very high. Congratulations, you have passed the assessment."

Ye Chen nodded slightly to the other party and then walked down the refining table and headed towards the area of ​​personnel that passed the assessment.

Next, they just need to wait for the end of the first round and then participate in the second round.

Without letting Ye Chen wait for too long, the loud bell rang over the entire square, announcing the end of the first round of assessment.

Suddenly, the alchemists who had not completed the refining were all lost and headed out of the field in disappointment.

There is no way. Although this first round seemed too simple to Ye Chen, he still eliminated half of the people...

If these people are in normal times, most of them can successfully refine the Birth Power Pill, but there are always accidents in the examination room, so many people feel that they are just too lucky and have not shown their due strength at all.

But losing means losing, failing, no matter what the reason! After all, luck is also a manifestation of strength in many cases.

Song Lian, who had been on the stage, flew over the sky again and said to Ye Chen and others: "Congratulations on passing the first round. There were 2,025 contestants this time, and there were 854 people who passed the first round. Next, you will participate in the second round, soul test!"

The so-called soul test is also very simple, which means that everyone queues up and passes a special formation arranged in advance. As long as it can successfully pass, it will be considered passing.

Finally, Song Lian specifically reminded him, saying: "The matter of the soul is extremely dangerous. So I remind all young alchemists that if they feel that they can't bear it, they will withdraw immediately, otherwise they may cause damage to their souls, and it will be too late to regret it!"

These words made Ye Chen frown slightly, but many others had already begun to give in.

"This old man is not trying to scare people on purpose, right?" Ye Chen murmured in his heart, ready to see what is special about this so-called formation.

Well, when Ye Chen saw this so-called soul formation, he was immediately disappointed.

The so-called formation in front of me looks just an ordinary passage, and it should be more than a hundred meters long.

Ye Chen and his teammates lined up to walk in. As long as they could pass, they would be successful. Those who failed could leave through the passage next to them.

After the second round of assessment began, Ye Chen began to slowly move in with the abortion...

Just after stepping into this passage, he felt that there seemed to be some kind of pressure around him starting from all directions and oppressing him.

But this pressure is not aimed at the body, but at the soul!

"So that's it!" Ye Chen suddenly realized.

It seems that I am overthinking...

Originally, he thought how this soul formation would work, but he didn't expect it to be just a simple soul oppression...

After feeling it, the pressure at the entrance of this passage is not strong. To put it intuitively, as long as the soul value is about 160 points, it can be easily withstand it.

But as you continue to deepen, the pressure will become greater and greater. When you reach the middle position, you have even reached the level of 200 soul value, which is almost at the endurance of a third-grade alchemist.

In Ye Chen's vision, many contestants with poor soul power have begun to retreat one after another, and fewer and fewer people in the passage.

After about a quarter of an hour, Ye Chen finally walked out of this "long" passage with everyone. As soon as he came out, many contestants collapsed to the ground, obviously being consumed very badly.

As for Ye Chen, he just felt it carefully and said softly: "It's not bad, it should be almost at the level of 300 souls in the end. This has reached the threshold of a fourth-grade intermediate alchemist..."

Of course, this is just a spiritual power.

As I said, people with strong soul power may not necessarily have a matching alchemist level. Of course, if the soul power does not meet the standard, then they will definitely not be able to reach the corresponding alchemist level!

Just as Ye Chen was thinking, he suddenly felt a gaze falling on him...

Following the eyes and looking through the past, Ye Chen saw a young man who looked a little immature.

Of course, this is just the young man he thought. After all, in the eyes of others, Ye Chen obviously looks more immature than the former.

"You are very good!" Seeing Ye Chen discovering himself, the man did not dodge, but said this with a cold face.

This sentence made Ye Chen confused...

What's going on?

Am I being praised?

So should I be happier?

However, the other party obviously didn't care about Ye Chen's reaction. After saying that, he turned his head and continued to stand proudly outside the crowd.

Ye Chen: “…”

Although I was speechless, seeing the other party's relaxed look, it was obviously the same as myself, and my soul power was far beyond the limit of the second round of tests...

A contestant who is so young and may have met the standards of a fifth-grade alchemist, this one is not the legendary genius of the Song family - Song Qing!
