Every time Yuan swung his massive sword, a magical beast would inevitably succumb to death, and his points racked up extremely quickly, resembling the time at Pang City.
Meanwhile, the Sect Elder watching Yuan sweep through the magical beasts as though they were trash was shocked speechless.
’Which numbskull gave a fifth level Spirit Warrior the examination token? Whoever it was, he needs a damn beating! And I will be the first to volunteer for that!’ The Sect Elder cursed inwardly as he counted the points Yuan had obtained.
Two hours later, Yuan had managed to collect a total of 300 points.
"Did that Senior give me the wrong directions? I haven’t seen a single Spirit Warrior magical beast since I started hunting them..." Yuan sighed.
After running around aimlessly for another hour, Yuan finally encountered a magical beast at the Spirit Warrior level. However, because he immediately killed it a second later, it didn’t feel any different from hunting Spirit Apprentice magical beasts.
’The fuck! He killed a Spirit Warrior magical beast in a single strike! And he even made it look so effortlessly!’ The Sect Elder watching Yuan cried inwardly after seeing this.
’What is someone like him doing at the Dragon Essence Temple? Although we may be one of the top sects, there are other places stronger than us, such as the Heaven and Earth Palace! Surely, he would benefit more by going to those places!’
The Sect Elder could not understand Yuan’s intentions for choosing their sect when there are much better options out there, and those sects would not refuse someone as ridiculously talented as him even in a million years, yet he decided to come to the Dragon Essence Temple, even going through the effort of participating in the disciple examination.
Meanwhile, Yuan continued to slay magical beasts for points without a care in the world.
After a few more hours, Yuan finally managed to amass a total of 1,000 points, becoming the first participant to reach 1,000 points in many decades.
’What else can one expect? It’s like throwing a tiger into a chicken pen!’ The Sect Elder watching Yuan wasn’t even surprised that he’d obtained 1,000 points. In fact, he expected nothing less from Yuan!
A few moments later, the Sect Elder watching Yuan decided to approach him and said, "Congratulations, young man. You have managed to collect 1,000 points, being the first person in 69 years to have achieved this!" The Sect Elder congratulated him.
"Thank you. Do I get my special jade slip now?" Yuan asked.
"Of course. Here you go." The Sect Elder then handed to Yuan a blue-colored jade slip.
And then he continued, "The gate is to the north that way."
Once Yuan left the scene, the Sect Elder took a seat on the floor with an exhausted expression on his face.
"I have never felt so tired in my life, and I haven’t even done anything significant. However, I am more mentally exhausted than physically, so..."
Sometime later, Yuan reached the gate to the next test. However, he didn’t immediately enter it.
Instead, he logged off to cultivate until Yu Rou entered his room with dinner.
"How was the examination, brother?" Yu Rou asked him as she wiped his body. This belongs to .
"Was it difficult?"
"It’s actually pretty easy. But I have only experienced two tests, so I cannot say anything for the rest of the exams. In fact, I don’t even know how many exams I have to pass before I become a disciple," Yuan said.
"Is that so? Want to tell me about it?"

"Of course," Yuan said, and he proceeded to tell her about the first exam and then the second exam.
"Haha... You make it sound so easy, but I bet it’s actually very difficult for the others." Yu Rou chuckled.
Sometime later, after dinner, Yu Rou returned to her own room whilst Yuan returned to the cultivation world to continue with the exam.
After entering the gate to the third test, Yuan found himself before a very large pond with silver-colored water and a silver tree towards the end of the pond. Furthermore, there were already over a hundred people waiting near the silver pond.
"What is this?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"Welcome to the third test." A young man wearing regular disciple robes suddenly greeted Yuan.
"Hello. What do I have to do for this test?" Yuan asked him.
"It’s very simple. You just enter the pond and walk towards the silver tree. The further you go, the better the results. However, you only need to take 20 steps in order to pass this exam." The disciple explained to him.
"Twenty steps...?" Yuan became even more puzzled after the explanation. What kind of weird exam was this?
Seeing Yuan’s puzzled eyes behind the black mask, the disciple continued, "This pond is no ordinary pond— it’s a profound treasure that tests ones’ talent, and the further you can go, the more talented you are."
"Normal Cultivators would only be able to take around 10 steps before they are unable to move forward. Meanwhile, talented Cultivators should have no problem taking over 20 steps. If you can take 50 steps, you are considered a peak Cultivation genius, but only one or two people would achieve that every ten years."
"I see..." Yuan nodded as he finally understood the meaning behind this test, and he asked a moment later, "What happens if one reaches the tree in the back?"
The disciple looked at Yuan with a dazed face before laughing out loud, "It takes 100 steps to reach the silver tree, but there has only been one person in our sect’s history that has managed to reach the silver tree, and that person is the Dragon Essence Temple’s Founder, who had passed away over a hundred thousand years ago."
"A hundred thousand years ago..." Yuan mumbled in a dazed voice.
"Oh, I have one more question. How many steps do I need to take to obtain the special jade slip from this test?" Yuan then asked.
"The special jade slip? That requires you to take 75 steps if I recall correctly." The disciple said.
"Okay, thank you," Yuan said before joining the other participants.
