Earth Ninth Grade

This competition will no longer focus on the basic talismans from the beginning; the previous rounds had already transitioned to drawing advanced talismans.

Groups of 500 people simultaneously draw the required talismans, and then proceed to pass through the talisman-testing platform in turn.

This task involves drawing general-purpose high-level talismans, including five offensive talismans and five defensive talismans based on the five elements.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but think that it was probably because the people in the Immortal Cultivation Realm here relied on their own five elements Spirit Root for cultivation, so most of the Law Technique they used or the talismans and formations they used came from the five elements.

The number has decreased from over 50,000 to 2,500 today.

Those who manage to stay are basically those with exceptional skills.

Even the very few exceptionally lucky individuals will find it difficult to escape being eliminated today.

Those who make it into the final 500 list must be extremely skilled talisman masters.

Liu Chun was assigned to the fourth group today.

Most of the people eliminated in the first three groups did not leave the venue, but stood in the open space inside the venue with the audience outside, waiting to see who would be among the final 500.

Among the audience gathered outside, there were many familiar faces from the past few days.

These are all the rune masters who were eliminated in each previous round.

Everyone is waiting to see who will be among the 500 new talisman masters at this once-every-hundred-year Talisman Master Assembly.

Some people are still speculating that, given this competition format, which of the five groups in this Talisman Master Assembly will be the most exciting "group of death," since there aren't enough powerful talisman masters emerging here recently to fill all five groups.

After the fourth group of talisman masters appeared, they began the intense process of making talismans.

The tension wasn't primarily due to the atmosphere or mindset, but mainly because the time required to draw the talisman was the same as before for drawing lower-level talismans, yet the required level of the talisman was vastly different.

Time was of the essence; if they lost focus even for a moment during the drawing process, it might all be for naught.

Therefore, everyone was extremely focused.

The previously noisy venue quieted down as everyone focused on the event.

Looking at each of the talisman masters on the field, who were taking their work so seriously, Lin Xiao felt a burning passion stirring within him.

He truly admires hardworking and dedicated people like that.

Once all the talisman masters in the fourth group had finished drawing their talismans, the most nerve-wracking and anticipated part began: the talisman testing phase.

First, talismans for 100 people were randomly selected from the talisman bags of 500 people and placed directly into the talisman testing platform to obtain each person's score. Then, the scores were arranged from highest to lowest. Next, the 101st talisman was taken out and compared with the 100th talisman at the bottom of the list. After that, the score of the better talisman was included in the top 100 and rearranged.

The talisman masters who remain are all quite skilled, but because each group was divided into groups of varying abilities, there is still a noticeable difference between the good and bad results when the talisman test is held.

However, the first hundred talisman bags drawn in the fourth group were quite interesting. Among the test results of these hundred talisman bags, not a single one had an outstanding score.

When this result was announced, the audience felt that the average level of the fourth group was probably quite low, and there might not be many outstanding individuals.

Unlike the previous three groups, where a few top scores would appear in the first hundred scores.

However, the next moment, after the 101st talisman in the fourth group was tested, the result caused an uproar among the audience.

"The first talisman is Earth Ninth Grade!"

The moment the tester's voice rang out, the previously quiet meeting room erupted in chaos!

This very first talisman is actually Earth Rank Ninth Grade talisman!

It's important to know that this is a much more difficult advanced general-purpose talisman. If it were a basic talisman from before, everyone would think it was quite impressive to create an Earth Rank talisman. They never expected that someone here could even create an Earth Rank Ninth Grade advanced talisman!

In addition to being classified from low to high levels based on their strength and difficulty, each talisman also has its own quality classification.

It can be said that the remaining 2,500 talisman masters are all capable of drawing talismans of the Mystic Rank Fifth Grade rank or higher.

The vast majority of them are at a level between the Mystic Rank Fifth Grade.

Those who can reach the Earth Rank, whether it's the first or second rank, are already considered extremely powerful talisman masters, and are the kind of people that will leave a deep impression on the audience.

The results of the top talisman masters in the first three groups were like this, with the highest result being only the Earth Rank Fifth Grade.

Unexpectedly, the fourth group, which was not expected to produce any outstanding results, achieved such an amazing score!

However, even the most outstanding results could not shake the testers' determination to complete their work diligently, so the testers immediately proceeded to test the second talisman.

Then, the tester calmly announced the result of the second talisman:

"The second talisman, Earth Ninth Grade!"

Wow--

The entire audience erupted in cheers this time.

Two consecutive Ninth-Rank Earth Ninth Grade!

Even Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu couldn't help but huddle together and start discussing it.

"Brother Xiao, do you think this might be our Elder Liu!"

Jiang Youfu asked, somewhat excitedly.

However, Lin Xiao gently shook his head, shattering his illusion:

"It shouldn't be. Although Elder Liu can reach the Earth Rank, he can't reach the Ninth Rank, let alone..." There were two in a row!

Lin Xiao was so confident because he was very clear about Liu Chun's level, given the system's assessment function.

Even if Liu Chun usually holds back his strength because he is just producing on an assembly line, and goes all out in this Talisman Master Assembly to be a few points better than usual, it is still impossible for him to reach the level of Earth Ninth Grade Rank.

Moreover, Lin Xiao glanced at the calm tester.

These testers knew whose talisman bag they were holding.

Clearly, this person knew the owner of the talisman bag and was also aware of the owner's skill level, which is why they were not surprised by such a result.

Therefore, it is very likely that...

Thinking it over, Lin Xiao secretly transmitted his voice to Jiang Youfu:

"I bet this person's next talisman will also be Earth Ninth Grade."

really.

As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, the tester placed the third talisman on the testing platform, looked at the displayed score, and calmly said:

"The third one, Earth Ninth Grade!"

The audience outside the venue had already begun to discuss excitedly who this person could be.

Some people started listing the popular figures for this Talisman Master Assembly, and then removed those who had already appeared in the first three groups.

After counting them all, someone gave up and said:

"No one who can reach the Earth Ninth Grade has ever appeared before!"
