Chapter 145 Ch 145: Qualify
Initially, the Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior was a little disappointed. He felt that only Alex had the chance to enter the Inner Tower during this recruitment. Now, it seemed like there was another person who had a chance to succeed.
Under everyone's gaze, the young man demonstrates the Palm Technique he has comprehended. His palm technique was as smooth as flowing water. In just a moment, he had already executed the fifth move of the Thousand Illusion Palm Technique.
After that, he started encountering some difficulties that made his demonstration slow, however, he still managed to display ten moves. And with this, the first person to become the Inner Tower disciple of Star Seeking Tower finally appeared.
Cries of surprise could be heard from the crowd. Finally, someone recognized this young man.
"I remember now. I have seen him once. His name is Liv Agnes, the son of City Lord Sky Frost!"
Everyone had shocked expressions on their faces when they heard this. It is because City Lord Sky Frost was famous. He was just a City Lord, however, he was powerful enough to make any Third Rate Force in the Middle Land tremble in fear. Even Second Grade Power of the Middle Land doesn't want to become enemies with City Lord Sky Frost.
City Lord Sky Frost, this is the nickname given to Liv Agnes's father. His real name is Loke Agnes. Loke is the City Lord of Sky Frost City. About forty years ago, Loke had some sort of fortuitous encounter, causing his strength to skyrocket. Forty years ago, he was just a little Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior, however, after forty years, he has already stepped into the Martial King Stage.
It has to be known that Martial King Stage is the requirement for a person to become the leader of any Second Rate Force in the Middle Land.
But even so, Loke didn't join or create a force of his own. There might be some reason, but he chose to stay as a City Lord.
Being the only son of Loke Agnes, Liv Agnes was very arrogant. Well, he also had the talent to be arrogant. Just like Alex, he was also a Spirit Origin Stage Level 9 martial warrior. It is just that he is one year older than Alex. Alex is 16 while he is 17.
"You are qualified to enter the Inner Tower of Star Seeking Tower. Congratulations, and keep working hard!" The Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior looked at Liv and said with a wide smile on his face. Obviously, he was very satisfied with Liv Agnes.
"Oh, I will!" Liv nodded his head and said with his head held high. Anyone could tell that Liv is just too proud of his own talent.
As for Alex, although he nodded his head, he didn't think too much. He just used the system and replicated Thousand Illusion Palm Technique.
[Congratulations to Originator for successfully obtaining Thousand Illusion Palm!]
"Fuse!"
And just like that, Alex had learned the entire technique instead of just a few moves.
Liv's performance was marvelous in the eyes of the crowd. Under the worshipful eyes of the crowd, Liv walked down the stage. Arriving beside Alex, he proudly asked: "You are Alex White, right? How was my demonstration just now?"
Alex smiled and replied casually, "It was not bad."
Indeed, Liv's comprehension ability was very strong, but it was in the eyes of other people. In Alex's opinion, Liv's comprehension ability was not that extraordinary. He had seen the comprehensive test of people in 1% memories. Those people had far greater comprehensive talent than Liv Agnes.
Hence, in Alex's eyes, Liv's comprehensive talent could only be considered not bad.
When Liv heard what Alex said, his face immediately revealed a trace of coldness. Alex's tone sounded like an elder commenting on a junior. This made him very dissatisfied in his heart, and he said, "You don't have the right to judge me like this. I really want to see what's so great about you?"
Alex smiled but didn't respond. Instead, he walked toward the stage calmly. It was his turn to perform the palm technique after all.
Everyone was also very curious. With Liv's outstanding performance of comprehending ten moves just now, everyone wanted to see how far Alex could go.
The Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior also revealed a look of curiosity. After all, Alex's performance in the previous two tests had made him think highly of Alex.
In the next moment, Alex pulled out the sword in his hand.
This scene dumbfounded everyone.
"What's going on?"
"The third round is to test one's comprehension ability. He has to demonstrate the palm technique. Why had he pulled out a sword? What is he trying to do?"
"Could it be that Alex has lost his confidence because of Liv's performance just now? He's starting to act recklessly!"
The crowd discussed animatedly.
The pride on Liv's face became more obvious, and his eyes started to show disdain as he looked at Alex. After seeing Alex taking out his sword, in Liv's eyes, it was a waste of energy for him to pay so much attention to Alex.
The Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior also furrowed his brows. He had high hopes for Alex and hoped that Alex would be qualified to become an Inner Tower disciple. Therefore, he couldn't help but remind Alex, "The third round of the examination is about the comprehension of the Thousand Illusion Palm. It has nothing to do with the sword."
Alex nodded at him and said with a smile, "Thank you for your reminder."
After he finished speaking, Alex stabbed forward the sword in his hand. In the blink of an eye, many changes had occurred. After that, he put away the sword and everything returned to normal.
Everyone was still dumbfounded. Although Alex's sword technique just now was indeed very exquisite, what was the use of it?
Some people even speculated. Alex had used an unimaginable talent to evolve the Thousand Illusion Palm with his sword, but this theory was immediately denied. Because his sword move just now had nothing to do with the Thousand Illusion Palm!
When everyone saw the gloomy expression of the Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior, they concluded that Alex had failed.
When Alex returned to the crowd, Liv raised his head. He looked at Alex with incomparable pride and said, "The difference between you and me is like heaven and earth. From today onwards, I will become the Inner Tower disciple of Star Seeking Tower. You can only look at my back from behind. And it won't take long when you won't even be able to see my back!"
Alex did not refute. He stood quietly in the crowd. He felt that there was no point in arguing.
The surrounding people looked at Alex with regret. If Alex could use the Thousand Illusion Palm Technique honestly, with his strength, he might really be qualified to become an Inner Tower disciple.
However, Alex might have been shocked by Liv's performance. Alex might have lost his confidence, which was why he gave up on himself.
However, right at this moment.
The Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior took a deep breath and returned to his original state. He then announced, "The third round of assessment has ended. Two people have successfully qualified to become Inner Tower disciples."
Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing this.
Didn't the rules say that one must successfully comprehend the ten moves of Thousand Illusion Palm in order to be qualified to become an Inner Tower disciple?
Everyone had witnessed the entire process of the examination. Apart from Liv, who had successfully comprehended ten moves, no one else had met the requirements. Then who was the second person?
The Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior continued, "The ones who have obtained the qualification of Inner Tower disciple of Star Seeking Tower this time are Liv Agnes and Alex White."
The announcement of the quota shocked everyone. Everyone was questioning this decision. Everyone had seen Alex's performance just now. Alex was not qualified to become an Inner Tower disciple.
"Sir, I refuse to accept this. Although Alex's sword strike was very powerful, what Alex did was totally inconsistent with the content of the test."
"That's right. If this rule can be changed, then we hope to take the test again. As long as we use our best skills, I believe our performance will also be very good."
"I hope you can withdraw this decision. Otherwise, we won't accept the result!"
Dissatisfaction could be heard from the crowd. Everyone was excited, and their views on Alex had completely changed.
In the beginning, everyone thought that Alex was very powerful. After that, when Alex was undergoing the third round of the examination, everyone felt sorry for him, but now, they all started looking down on him.
Everyone thought that Alex must have had some contact with the Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior in private. Alex had used the benefits to bribe him. Therefore, even if Alex didn't meet the requirements of the examination, he was still qualified to become an Inner Tower disciple.
Of course, they could only think about it in their hearts, not daring to say it out loud.
After all, no one was stupid enough to offend a peak Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior of Star Seeking Tower.
