Everyone grew excited at Lucio's words, and they impatiently voiced out their questions.
"Mr. Lou, what kind of tests are we going to sit for tomorrow? Can you tell us in advance and allow us to make preparations?"
"Are there many candidates sitting for the test? What are the selection criteria of the Sixteen Inner Hall? Do I have the chance to enter?"
"Mr. Lou, what's the difference between all the Sixteen Inner Halls? Is the Sixteen Inner Hall, which you're staying in, formidable?"
Lucio kept a gentle smile as he listened to the crowd's questions. Then, he gestured with his hands and spoke slowly.
"Don't worry, everyone. I'll tell you one by one."
"First of all, the test tomorrow will look at the basic skills of a martial artist. There are mainly four aspects: physical strength, positive energy strength, martial arts manual mastery, and martial essence comprehension"
Everyone's expressions turned serious after hearing that. Some even pulled out papers and pens to take notes.
Lucio continued, "The physical strength test, as the name suggests, is mainly to test the strength of your body, including power, speed, defence, and more. We will perform a comprehensive evaluation in the end and give you a score."
"As for the positive energy strength test, we mainly test the concentration of positive energy in your dantian abdomen. This is where the foundation of a martial artist's advancement in cultivation lies. In the end, we will also give you a score."
"The martial arts manual mastery test will judge the various martial arts manuals you have mastered. After all, it is impossible to achieve good results in actual combat with only positive energy and without applying martial arts manuals. Therefore, the control of this is a prerequisite for actual combat."
"You should be very clear about the final test, the martial essence comprehension test. This is the most crucial and important test. After all, the number of martial essences one comprehends correlates with the probability of breaking through to the Lord Level."
"Under normal circumstances, one can break through to the Lord Level once they achieve the goal of 10,000 streaks of martial essence. Therefore, the more martial essences one grasps, the closer they are to the Lord Level. I believe that this is also something that everyone values."
"We will judge each of these four tests based on the percentile system, which you are familiar with. 60% is the passing grade, and 80% will be a distinction."
The group of people fell into a discussion after hearing the announcement.
"I wonder if I can pass!"
"Is it difficult to get a distinction?"
Facing everyone's doubts, Lucio smiled and continued, "The answers to these questions involve the second question you just asked. To what extent will you get chosen by Sixteen Inner Hall?"
"Based on my experience, usually, if your average score of all four tests is above 85%, then you will have a good chance of entering the Sixteen Inner Hall. If you can achieve a score of 90%, you will surely be able to enter."
"Of course, there are exceptions, that is if you score particularly high on martial essence comprehension. In that case, even if you do not score high enough in other aspects, we will make an exception for you to enter the Sixteen Inner Hall."
Everyone could not help but feel excited after hearing Lucio's explanation. Their eyes gleamed with expectation and yearning.
Later, Lucio answered some more questions. He only gave them the basic information about the inner island and the Sixteen Inner Hall; he did not mention anything further. Everyone took the hint and did not ask more.
In the end, when everyone had almost finished asking their questions, Fade finally spoke.
"Mr. Lou, we noticed a few foreigners on the first floor just now. Why are they here? Did they come to sit for the test too?"
