The news that Ling Xiao had risen to become a divine general was not concealed and quickly spread throughout the various Divine Hall.
When they learned of this news, they were utterly shocked.
"Defeated a Divine General in a hundred moves, bypassed the candidate level, and was directly promoted to a full-fledged Divine General by the Divine Hall Master? What is the background of the Primordial Dao Lord?"
"The Celestial Divine Hall has encountered a promising talent this time. It's a pity that this Primordial Dao Lord didn't come to our Divine Hall."
"Primordial Dao Lord... Lin Fan, I've never heard of him."
Immediately, the high-ranking officials and temple masters of the major Divine Hall learned of the news and became curious about this so-called Primordial Dao Lord.
The assessments of the major Divine Hall are in full swing.
The Seventh Divine Palace, the Avici Divine Hall, Ling Xiao's second incarnation, the Immortal Dao Lord, also began to emerge.
They easily passed through numerous challenges and passed through many difficult tests without breaking a sweat.
At this time, Ling Xiao was still relatively low-key. Although his performance was remarkable, it had not yet reached that earth-shattering level.
The master of the Avici Divine Hall was an old man-like being who was sitting in the center of the Divine Hall, looking down below.
Around him were divine generals emanating their auras, including the Second Divine General Houtu, all of whom were solemnly watching the assessment.
Under their watchful eyes, the assessment proceeded fairly and impartially, without the slightest flaw.
"The Celestial Divine Hall has produced a formal divine general. I wonder if my Avici Divine Hall is fortunate enough to have such an achievement."
A handsome and elegant general spoke, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Hehe, you must be joking. Such a person is one in a billion years, how could you find them everywhere?"
"A divine general joked."
"That's good. We should be grateful that even one potential candidate for a divine general has emerged this time."
The third-ranked general spoke up calmly, joining in.
He was a solemn and dignified man, exuding an aura of rules and discipline.
He possesses seven transcendent powers, ranking third only after Houtu and the First Divine General.
"It's time for someone to step forward and accept the challenge. Who among you will go down and take the plunge?"
At this moment, the old temple master spoke calmly, interrupting the discussion of the gods and generals, and brought up the important matter.
As soon as she finished speaking, Houtu stepped forward and bowed with her hands clasped in a gesture of respect, her face expressionless.
"My Lord, please let me go this time."
Since joining the Avici Divine Hall Return, she has never participated in any assessments. This time, she wants to put in some effort and prove herself.
Upon hearing this, all the gods wore strange expressions.
"Reincarnation, you are the second-ranking general of my Avici Divine Hall. Isn't it a bit of an overreaction for you to step in and conduct the assessment?"
A divine general said with a smile.
"Exactly, it's too much to ask of them for you to conduct the assessment."
A deity pointed outwards, expressing his indignation on behalf of the examinees.
"Reincarnation? We don't need your help with that."
The old temple master glanced at Houtu and slowly said.
Houtu had no choice but to retreat.
"My Lord, please let me go."
A burly, imposing general spoke in a booming voice, causing the entire hall to tremble slightly.
The old temple master glanced at the man and slowly nodded.
"Greedy Wolf, you may go."
"Yes!" the man named Greedy Wolf replied respectfully.
He possesses five transcendent powers, and his strength is neither too high nor too low, making him a suitable choice.
"Greedy Wolf, take it easy, don't ruin a good seedling."
"This guy doesn't know his own strength; let's pray for these juniors taking the exam."
The gods joked, because they knew the nature of the Greedy Wolf God General: he was hot-tempered, ruthless, and intolerant of any wrongdoing.
If he were to conduct the assessment, there wouldn't be a single loophole to exploit.
"These fledglings are in for a rough time."
The gods, after some teasing, watched the Greedy Wolf depart and head straight for the plaza below.
The Greedy Wolf, like a star, a dazzling sun and moon, gracefully landed in the center of the square, like a bomb, causing a thousand ripples.
"The Divine General has arrived!"
"As long as you can gain the approval of the Divine General, the assessment will be considered a success!"
"How can one be considered to have obtained Ren Ke and defeated the divine general?"
"Nonsense! Do you think everyone is that Primordial Dao Lord who defeats a divine general right from the start? He's a monster personally selected by the Palace Master!"
The beings undergoing the assessment whispered among themselves, even discussing Ling Xiao's deeds. However, they were rational and did not fantasize that they could defeat the divine general.
The Greedy Wolf God General's gaze swept across the crowd with lightning speed and majesty, and only after looking around did he slowly speak.
"The test is very simple. If you can withstand ten moves from me, you can become a disciple of the Divine Hall. If you can withstand fifty moves, you will have the opportunity to become a candidate for divine general."
"You have all passed numerous tests to get here, and I hope you will not let me down!"
He had a cold, expressionless face, and exuded an aura of authority.
"My Lord, I challenge you!"
Soon, some people couldn't wait and were eager to start the challenge.
After a series of flashy maneuvers, it lasted for less than five moves.
The Greedy Wolf God showed no mercy, nearly sending the challenger to his doom.
Even so, everyone remained enthusiastic and full of energy.
After a long time, the assessment challenge was nearing its end. Dozens of people persisted for more than ten moves and secured their spots as ordinary disciples.
There was another being who persisted for more than fifty moves; he was a being at the fifth level of the Great Dao, second only to the Greedy Wolf God General in strength.
"Indeed, you have the potential to become a candidate for a divine general."
The Greedy Wolf God General expressed his approval with considerable satisfaction, but it was only considerable satisfaction; he was far from being extremely satisfied.
He didn't break a sweat during this intense battle; it's no exaggeration to say he didn't even warm up.
He was so disappointed!
"Thank you for the praise, Your Excellency." The being being praised cupped its hands, looking as if it were an undeserving honor.
But the smugness radiating from his brows was so captivating that it was impossible to conceal.
The Greedy Wolf God glanced at him, shaking his head helplessly. Choosing the tallest among the short was truly a last resort.
"Anyone else want to take on the challenge? This is a rare opportunity; if we don't, this assessment will be over."
The Greedy Wolf God General spoke calmly. He thought no one else was there, but before he could finish speaking, someone stepped forward.
"I am Ye Chen, the Immortal Dao Venerable, and I wish to challenge a Divine General."
This is a man of imposing stature, strikingly handsome, and as radiant as a star.
He exudes a unique and extraordinary aura.
"The Immortal Dao Venerable?"
The Greedy Wolf God General was stunned for a moment, somewhat bewildered by the sudden appearance of this man.
"Oh my... quite the boast, an Immortal Dao Venerable."
"The reputation is good, but I don't know if the ability can match it!"
"I think it's a bit difficult!"
The onlookers laughed, their expressions filled with disdain.
