Several thousand new disciples were waiting anxiously for the test results. Their future resources and prospects were on the line, so it was impossible not to be nervous.

A Half-Step Earth Soul Realm, and with Five Talent Markings to boot. With talent like yours, you're guaranteed to enter the Inner Sect and be specially cultivated by the Sect!"
Seven or eight other youths had also gathered around Hong Yu.
These youths had average talent, barely meeting the minimum standard for entry. They knew full well that prodigies like Ling Tian and Dongfang Lang wouldn't give them the time of day, so they tried to get close to Hong Yu in hopes of finding a backer.
