Success! A disciple finally activated a dao bone and shouted. He was one of the few by this point. The others maintained their hard work.

After a while, several other talented disciples also activated their bone.

Some managed to light their bones up but couldnt fully activate it. This meant only getting ten points.

Some bones didnt react at all as the examinees tried their best to use their pillar of life. Alas, the runes couldnt force a reaction. A few wanted to cry as a result.

If they couldnt get ten points now, it meant that they would certainly be eliminated in the next trial. This was truly a time of crisis.

Buzz. Huang Ning activated his dao bone. A primal aura rushed out with immense force, causing the nearby disciples to shudder.

Amazing, Senior Brother Huang Nings talents are incredible. One disciple said with admiration.

Thats one. He became confident, looking like he was on top of the world.

He glanced over at Gong Qianyue, wanting to show off and gain her attention. Unfortunately, she was in a state of total focus to comprehend her own dao bone.

Huang Ning was somewhat disappointed by it but he regained his focus for a second dao bone. If he could successfully do another one, he would get another reward from the sect, twenty points, and a powerful merit law.

As time passed, the crowd had mixed emotions. The happy ones had a successful activation and won twenty points. The sad disciples couldnt muster any reaction from their bones.

Activate! Zhan Hu roared and his dao bone became resplendent. A beastly aura erupted like a storm and runes emerged on the surface of the bone.

Senior Brother Zhan Hu did it too. One disciple said.

Zhan Hu chose a high-level black dao bone. This was about as high as possible given his cultivation, truly a difficult task.

He was slightly pale due to the effort required to activate this particular dao bone. He earned twenty points and chose not to try again. In reality, he was already very satisfied in winning this personal challenge.

His next cultivation realm would turn him into an Enlightened Being. Black merit laws were no longer that tempting. He wanted to train in some earth-level ones next.

He sat down and meditated to recover while glaring at Li Qiye who still had his hand on the dao bone.

The guy seemed to be sleeping like always. Of course, Zhan Hu wasnt in a hurry. It was only a matter of time before Li Qiyes certain loss and utter humiliation.

Clank. A sword hymn interrupted everyones session. Qianyues dao bone started emitting strands of sword light containing powerful flowing runes in a continuous rotation.

It felt as if a divine sword had been unsheathed, ready to cut down its foes.

Numerous disciples became frightened. Some couldnt help retreating because they couldnt handle the pressure.

Thats worthy of being the best dao bone here. Many became envious.

Qianyue has successfully activated the dao bone for ten points. This was impressive because it was the hardest one here. It has been several generations since the previous successful attempt.

She didnt stop there. Clank! Clank! Clank! Sword images began forming by the runes.

The runes then intertwined together to form mantras and incantations. Rumble! Each connection resulted in a powerful blastwave.

Some of the disciples were nearly blown flying. Fortunately, the elders reacted quickly enough by separating the area around her to save them
