Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system-Chapter 573: Ch-572: First Round

"Hey, hey, don't make it sound like I am a scumbag," Wang Ming retorted.

"But you are one." Wu Jing and Min Li nodded their heads several times in agreement.

"By the way, where is Feng Mei? Did she leave?" Wang Ming asked curiously.

"Yes, she left for the sect. She told me to inform you," Wu Jing said, to which Wang Ming nodded.

"From the Min Family, is it only you?" Wang Ming asked.

"Yep, there was no one else suitable, and the ones who are in closed cultivation—bad luck, they missed their chance," Min Li said with a shrug.

"Let's go and join the queue," Wang Ming said as he pointed at the long line.

Wang Ming looked at the front of the crowd and saw a young man counting the number of participants, but what surprised him was the duo at the front of the crowd.

"Tang Ning and Tang Nian—are they representing the Tang Family?" Wang Ming exclaimed. It seemed they had sensed him, because they looked back, and their eyes met. Both of them were surprised, and Tang Nian winked at him, to which Wang Ming replied with a smile.

"1…2…3…8…15…23…47…53…"

Counting the participants present in line, the man nodded several times, a pleased expression appearing on his face. He then quickly scribbled something onto the notepad in his hand and lightly mumbled to himself,

"…that's a significant increase compared to the previous batch; this time there are a lot of recommendations."

Nodding in satisfaction, he put the tablet away and, in a stern tone, spoke up.

"Alright, all participants at this level of difficulty, please listen up."

"For those who are new, I will explain the selection round. There will be two rounds. The first will measure your soul strength, and if you qualify, you will proceed to the second round, which measures the weapons comprehension you have grasped. In the end, you will be assigned a rank," the man said in a serious voice, and many in the crowd looked nervous.

"The better your rank, the greater the starting points you will have in the Dungeon Simulation life," he paused and then continued.

"An overall D rank in evaluation, which will make your starting background in the Simulation the lowest, that of a mortal, is the standard for passing."

"An overall C rank in evaluation, which will make your starting background in the Simulation that of a cultivator with barely sufficient ability."

"An overall B rank in evaluation, which will make your starting background in the Simulation that of a cultivator from a prominent background."

"An overall A rank in evaluation, which is the highest, will make your starting background in the Simulation the highest possible in that world."

"As I have already explained the rules before, I won't go into too much detail regarding what you need to do. However, I must remind you that you will all be sent to the random simulations at the same time. Remember, some of you may end up in the same simulated world and could decide to work together or harm each other—your choice," the man said. Some looked at each other in excitement, while others looked warily.

The man glanced expectantly at the crowd, thinking about who would achieve the maximum merit and emerge as a genius.

"All right, one by one, come forward and report your name and which family recommended you, starting from the front."

"First person, please step up."

Called up, Tang Nian slowly walked toward the man.

"Tang Nian from the Tang Family," she said calmly. Hearing her name, many in the crowd shivered.

"Do I put my hand on the orb?"

"Wait, let me explain first."

The man looked at her calmly and, smilingly, handed her a colorless crystal

.

"Miss, this test crystal is very simple. Inject it with spiritual energy, and it will automatically glow as soon as your soul meets the passing mark. The brighter it glows, the higher the evaluation you will receive. That way, you will be considered to have passed the preliminary test. Do you understand?"

"Yes," Tang Nian nodded

.

"You may inject spiritual energy now."

"Mm." Tang Nian nodded in understanding and, under everyone's anticipatory gaze, stepped forward to place her palm on the crystal. After a moment, the crystal began reacting, and she withdrew her hand.

—Vuuuuuam!

Unsurprisingly, as soon as she touched the crystal, a tremendous glow enveloped the surroundings.

A rank.

That's what the brightness symbolized.

Looking around, Wang Ming could see everyone staring at her in shock. Surprisingly, the calmest person was Tang Nian herself, who didn't seem to care that she had achieved an

rank.

"I've passed, I guess," Tang Nian said casually.

Her voice prompted the man to respond, "Pass. Go through that portal," as he pointed toward the portal.

Soon after Tang Nian removed her hand from the orb, silence prevailed. Everyone looked at her in utter shock, including the clan leaders in the tents.

"Next," the man said after Tang Nian left.

"Tang Ning from the Tang Family," her name again caught everyone's attention, prompting whispers throughout the crowd.

"Will she also have a soul strength ranking of A like her sister?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"She should. She is the elder and has much higher cultivation than her sister."

"Cultivation doesn't matter in soul strength level."

" What if she fails?"

" I don't think she will fail, she is her elder sister"

"What even is soul strength?"

" Should be something related to the soul"

The crystal glowed, but it was much dimmer than Tang Nian's much to crowds disappointment

C Rank.

"Pass," the man said in disappointment, but Tang Ning did not change her expression as she went through the portal. She was not btigred by their looks as she knew there is still a other round to increase her rank.

"Next," the man said calmly

A man approached arrogantly and placed his hand on the orb, but even after several minutes, nothing happened. His smile froze.

"Fail. Next," the man said in a cold voice.
