"Zhao Gang, fighting spirit, second stage, passed!"
Still in the square, with Yan Hongtao's loud announcement, there was an uproar in the square, and the same batch of children waiting for the test showed envious eyes, and several children headed by Zhao Gang even gave exaggerated flattery.
There were also many peers of different batches outside the square, watching, with different expressions, looking forward to becoming the next Zhao Gang.
"Well, not bad." Even Yan Hongtao nodded and praised.
"Next, Chen Guan."
When his name was called, Chen Guan walked to the front of the magic stone tablet under the attention of everyone. Soon, the result was displayed, causing another commotion.
"Chen Guan, Dou Qi, second stage, passed!"
"Chen Guan is amazing, he is the same as Boss Zhao."
"What do you know? Boss Zhao just practiced casually, but he worked hard to be on par with him. How can they be the same?"
"Yes, it seems that Boss Zhao has better talent."
In the past six months, everyone has seen Chen Guan's hard work. Even Yan Hongtao often used him as an example to admonish him, which made his peers dislike playing with him even more.
Chen Guan was not moved at all when he heard the murmurs of discussion. He even wanted to laugh. Although they were both at the second stage of Dou Qi, the difference between them was huge.
He and Zhao Gang were responsible for cleaning the room where the magic stone tablet was placed on weekdays, so they could test their own level frequently.
Zhao Gang had just broken through to the second stage of Dou Qi ten days ago. At that time, he came to test it when he was cleaning, just to satisfy his childish vanity.
Chen Guan had already broken through the second stage of Dou Qi three months ago, and recently he clearly felt that he could go further at any time. If he didn't want to be too conspicuous in this test, he would have reached the third stage of Dou Qi now.
Chen Guan was very satisfied with this speed.
You know, the qualification requirement given by Yan Hongtao is only one stage of Dou Qi in half a year, which is a rough average level. After several stages of Dou Qi, the difficulty of accumulation will gradually increase, and the time will be correspondingly longer.
The test is still continuing, and the speed is very fast. It was all over in less than two hours.
Only he and Zhao Gang have reached the second stage of Dou Qi. There are 17 people who don't even have the first stage of Dou Qi. The rest have passed the qualification line.
"As early as half a year ago, I told you that this test will determine your future destiny to a large extent. Congratulations to those who have reached a level of fighting spirit. You have passed the first level. In the next five years, as long as you don't make any mistakes, you can continue to practice with peace of mind. And his majesty will bestow some elixirs to strengthen your physique. This is a gift from his majesty and the royal family to you. You must be grateful and practice harder. Strength is the best reward. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Yan Hongtao usually speaks for the royal family. After everyone responded loudly, he nodded with satisfaction and then looked at the dejected group on his left.
"Qualification is innate, but it is not the only factor that determines destiny. Although you did not pass this test, it does not mean that you are useless. The huge Gama Empire needs talents from all walks of life. At certain times and places, your role may not be less than theirs. As long as you are willing to learn, the royal family will still spare no effort to train you!"
Chicken soup for the soul is indeed very inspiring, especially when used to brainwash a group of blank-slate children. The sense of belonging and loyalty to the royal family is rising.
Not to mention these children, even Chen Guan had to admit that no matter what the original intention of the Gama royal family was, they did have a favor to everyone present.
If they had not been taken to the imperial capital, many people would have starved to death, suffered humiliation, and had no access to fighting spirit. They would have lived at the bottom of society for their entire lives. Compared to those miserable and dull days, now was countless times better.
Chen Guan had his own thoughts and plans, so he would naturally not be brainwashed by the royal family, but he had to remember this favor in his heart. He had to repay the favor and avenge the vengeance. His idea was that simple.
After drinking a few bowls of chicken soup, the unqualified people were taken away by a guard. No one knew where they went or what their future would be like. Anyway, from that day on, they were never seen again.
After the test, life returned to normal, but compared to the previous six months, everyone's practice was obviously more difficult. Obviously, the seventeen people who were taken away still touched them a lot.
Only Zhao Gang was secretly competing with Chen Guan. In his heart, Chen Guan's talent was not as good as his, but he was not behind him. This made him difficult to accept. He had to widen the gap in order to consolidate his position as the "first genius".
Unfortunately, the gap was widened.
But it was in the opposite direction.
That night, Chen Guan quietly broke through the third stage of Dou Qi!
In the following days, the royal family would occasionally distribute a low-level spiritual fruit called Qingling Fruit, which had a mild medicinal property and had the effect of strengthening the body.
Its efficacy is obvious, and it is definitely far inferior to the foundation-building spiritual liquid that Yao Lao refined for Xiao Yan, but it can deepen the foundation before the Douzhe, which is not bad. The major families of the Jia Ma Empire do not have such means, which shows that there is still some gap between the empire and the family.
Thanks to their extraordinary talents, Zhao Gang and Chen Guan can get twice the resources every time.
A strong physique is very beneficial to practice, and therefore, Chen Guan absorbs and refines Dou Qi energy faster.
There will be no unified test in the next five years, and Chen Guan does not need to worry about other people's eyes. He will completely let go and practice with all his strength, and the gap with Zhao Tiancai next door will become larger and larger.
It is worth mentioning that during this period, the name of Xiao Yan, the genius of the Xiao family in Wutan City, gradually became louder, and even the imperial capital occasionally heard of it. Yan Hongtao also used this to inspire Zhao Gang and Chen Guan, asking them to take Xiao Yan as their goal.
It was also from him that Chen Guan learned about Xiao Yan's current progress.
Like him, he had reached the third stage of Dou Qi.
When leaving, Zhao Gang was still in shock, but Chen Guan was in a good mood and showed a long-lost smile.
Achievement achieved - catching up with Xiao Huohuo!
What made him even more satisfied was that his talent was one level stronger than Xiao Huohuo. After all, the other party had started practicing earlier than him. When Xiao Huohuo reached the first stage of Dou Qi, he was still thinking about where to get his next meal in the corner.
Now he has come from behind, even Chen Guan has a small sense of accomplishment.
A certain Milky Emperor once said that the enemy who was defeated by me will never be regarded as my opponent. I will give you time to catch up until you can no longer see me.
Chen Guan felt that he could also make a reference.
