"Heh, it really passed. The first one today, impressive! This means we'll have a guarantee from now on!"
"Sigh... Guarantee my ass. I heard that when people joined the training camp before, they even got resources. But now, those resources have all been squeezed dry by the higher-ups. Being able to get a mouthful of food is already good enough!"
"Is that true? Aren't they saying it's much better than outside?"
"Better my ass! They give you the leftover resources, and you still have to work. When you think about it, it's not as good as just working a regular job!"
"This..."
A stir went through the crowd. After all, the news couldn't be kept secret anymore. Many people already knew about the situation in the training camp. Their initial envy for Zhang Lingling had turned into sympathy.
After that, more than a dozen people followed, and none of them were admitted!
It wasn't until the five people in front of Su Han!
It was evident that these five people belonged to the same sect, and their strength was extremely formidable. Three men and two women, all appearing very young.
Among them, the two women paid special attention to Su Han behind them. After all, in terms of handsomeness, Su Han was far superior to their fellow disciples, looking like a celebrity idol.
The two women wished they could immediately exchange contact information and develop a long-term relationship with Su Han!
"Hey, little brother, what position are you aiming for? Are you going for an Outer Elder position, or joining the training camp?" Sun Qianqian, who looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six, asked.
Su Han shrugged and said directly, "Uh, it depends on the specific test results. I guess it would be good to get into the Sacred Altar. I don't have any other expectations..."
Upon hearing this.
Sun Qianqian immediately sighed, "Little brother, you're too humble. Seeing your noble appearance, you must come from a wealthy family. Your strength must be extraordinary!"
Wu Wenwen on the side immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes! What's your name, kid? We are from the Flying Dagger Sect. We came here this time wanting to join the training camp to see the situation. We truly hope to be valued and develop well. You don't know how difficult the martial world is nowadays..."
The two sighed, both looking at Su Han, their voices as gentle as flowing water, like two understanding elder sisters.
In contrast, the three men in front had looks of disdain!
They chuckled as they looked at Su Han!
"He wants to enter the Outer Sect? If he can get into the training camp, I'll consider him a person of some consequence. Hmph, look at those in front, their strength is close to the Emperor level. It's just the training camp, as for this kid, hehe..."
"Yeah, our Flying Dagger Sect has invested heavily this time. After we enter the training camp, we must cultivate well. As for this kid, don't fall for his tricks, my two junior sisters!"
"Exactly, just looking at this kid, he's clearly a flower thief!"
Upon hearing this.
Su Han immediately scoffed. Looking at the two women in front, they were also filled with indignation.
"Go away, go away! You're the flower thief! I think this younger brother is just handsome. Don't say he's not a flower thief. If he were, I'd be willing to let him pick me!"
"Pah, pah, pah! You three, hurry up and get lost, lest you tarnish my eyes!"
The two women drove away the three men and then began to ask Su Han questions.
Su Han, having nothing else to do, started chatting with the two. Through their conversation, he learned quite a bit. It seemed the Flying Dagger Sect was also a large sect, but unfortunately, its development had declined in recent years, and they could only pin their hopes on their disciples cultivating in the Spirit Realm City.
As for the drawbacks of joining the Sacred Altar, they no longer cared!
After a period of reflection.
Su Han also sighed, "So, the entire Spirit Realm is now vastly different from a thousand years ago?"
Mm-hmm!
This time, all five nodded, including the three who looked unfavorably at Su Han!
"Yes, a thousand years ago, our Flying Dagger Sect could produce three to five Emperor-level powerhouses in each generation, mostly in the middle stage, with the strongest one or two even reaching the late stage! But now, the strongest person in the entire sect is only at the early Emperor stage!"
"When you think about it, the Flying Dagger Sect is already considered quite good. Many other sects are even worse off. Many were annihilated after producing an Emperor-level powerhouse. Sigh..."
"The entire Spirit Realm is rapidly declining. It's not just our Flying Dagger Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Su Han suddenly realized the gravity of the situation!
Especially in the last thousand years, the speed of decline was truly alarming. At this moment, he had a bad premonition. If the Flying Dagger Sect was just one example, then where had all the powerful individuals in the vast Spirit Realm gone?
Were they all concentrated on the Sacred Mountain?
With this question in his mind, Su Han immediately saw that the people from the Flying Dagger Sect had reached the testing table.
"Xu Wencai, passed! Admitted to the training camp."
"Wang Hu, passed! Admitted to the junior training camp..."
"Xu Meng, passed..."
"Sun Qianqian, Wu Wenwen, passed!"
All five passed, and Su Han saw that they were all extremely happy, looking towards his side.
It was clear that the members of the Flying Dagger Sect had caused quite a stir.
After passing, Sun Qianqian and Wu Wenwen did not leave in a hurry but waited nearby for Su Han's test results.
Su Han paid no mind to it and walked directly towards the testing table in front!
An old attendant, with a lazy gaze, said mechanically, "Place your hand on the testing stone and hold it for five seconds without moving..."
Su Han had watched many times from behind and was familiar with the process. He immediately placed his hand on a testing stone.
With a hum!
Almost instantly, the testing stone let out a violent hiss!
Like a boiling kettle, it clanged and banged, and with a bang, it directly exploded!
It seemed to be broken!
"This..."
"What's going on, Su brother? What's happening!"
"Are you alright, little brother?"
The people from the Flying Dagger Sect nearby all looked over with concern, and the surrounding onlookers were also puzzled. It had been a long time since they had seen such a scene. The testing stones were made of refined iron and ink stone, and they could be used for hundreds or thousands of years without issue.
But now, it had directly exploded!
The old attendant immediately put on his reading glasses and looked at the testing stone. Upon seeing it, he shook his head.
"Alas, it's been used for too long... it's broken. Come, come, get another one, and you can continue!"
As the old man took out another new testing stone, Su Han stepped forward cautiously and began the test again.
This time, Su Han was very careful. He compressed his power again and controlled his aura to be as weak as possible before cautiously placing his hand forward!
"Hiss... I only used ten percent of my power just now, why did it explode during the test? Damn it, let's try with five percent this time!"
