Bai Cong was deep in thought so his body jerked when he felt something poke him. He looked behind him and saw Bai Chang looking at him with a face full of curiosity.

"Is something the matter?" Bai Chang asked, "You're not moving."

That's when Bai Cong noticed how everyone that had passed the first test were already lined up.

"I'm fine," Bai Cong took a deep breath and calmed down, "Let's go."

Bai Chang watched as his younger brother walked to the end of the line. He sighed to himself and followed behind him. He never knew what ideas were floating around in Bai Cong's head.

Seeing that everyone were now lined up, Ding Huo took out a few things from his spatial ring. They were an orb that was connected to a detecter stone. It looked similar to the one Bai Cong had used when he had tested his potential. The other item was another clear orb that was bigger than the one connected to the detecter stone.

Ding Huo cleared his throat, "This is a detecter stone," he said pointing to the huge stone, "It will be used to test your innate potential. When you put your hand on this orb, the stone will light up. The light will increase and stop on whatever color your potential is."

He then walked over to the other device, "This is a spirit root reader. It's used to determine what your affinity is if you even have one at all."

After he finished, Ding Huo beckoned for the first person to step up. It took less time to get through the detections since there wasn't as many people compared to when the first test was being taken. The line filed down until it came to be Bai Chen's turn.

Bai Chen walked up to the orb, already knowing what evaluation he was going to get on the detecter stone. He put his hand on the orb and patiently waited for the colors to light up, and light up they did. When it reached the color violet, it stopped.

Ding Huo nodded his head in appreciation and led Bai Chen to the spirit root reader. Like the detecter stone, Bai Chen put his hand on the orb. The clear orb lit up and two colors came into view. One was pure white while the other was blazing red.

"A double affinity spirit root," Ding Huo mumbled, "And they're red and white, meaning that you have an icy-fire affinity. A rare commodity indeed," he chuckled.

Bai Chen nodded his head with his head held high. He walked away with a confident gait and a bit of arrogance mixed in.

The line moved along until it came to be Xiong Wei's turn. He quickly walked up to the orb and stretched out his hand. The stone lit up and colors started to light up until it reached the color violet. The orb then shook and slowly turned black. It started to levitate up until it reached the top of the stone which had now also turned black.

Ding Huo watched with surprised as the whole process happened, "An unreadable potential," Ding Huo started getting excited, "you have an unreadable potential, amazing!" he cried with happiness.

"Come, come. Let me test your spirit root," Ding Huo pulled Xiong Wei over to the spirit root reader and practically crushed his hand on top of the orb. The orb shined until two colors appeared, gold and red.

Ding Huo then started laughing with jubilee, "A pure Yang physique, it's a pure yang physique. The ancestors are looking down at my Holy Righteous Sect!" Ding Huo cried with joy.

Xiong Wei ignored the Ding Huo who was laughing crazily and walked away.

"Did you hear that, he has a pure yang physique!" someone in the crowd said.

"A pure yang physique? What's that?" another person asked.

"I don't know but no one with that physique hasn't been seen since-"
