Only after much coaxing, and having Shen Shi give Yang Yu several magic treasures, did Du Yu finally manage to send that formidable lady on her way.
"So? Shall we invite the next person in?" Qu Xi asked.
"No, no. I feel like I don't know how to conduct interviews at all." Du Yu shook his head. "If everyone who comes has a powerful lineage behind them, how are we supposed to keep interviewing?"
"I have an idea," Xiao Qi said. "We can set up a screen and have the applicants try transmitting their voices to someone inside a legend. If that person can hear them, it proves they can become a 'Voice Transmitter.' If not, we send them away. We can also prepare a few legend questions. Anyone who can write the legends out from memory can become an 'Assistant.'"

"This legend isn't particularly important," Du Yu said. "Even if something goes wrong, it'll only be Grade D at most. Let's use this one."
With Xiao Qi's method, the interviews became much simpler, changing from question-and-answer sessions into tests.
Anyone whose voice transmission could reach Lord Ye inside the legend would pass the interview immediately and become a "Voice Transmitter."
The examination topics for "Assistants" were as follows:

Anyone who could write out any two of those eight legends from memory, with the plot correct and the names accurate, could
