The first registration was just a simple registration of the monk's identity, and this second review is an examination of the detailed situation of these monks.
Generally speaking, most of the foundation period masters are in the middle stage, while fewer are in the initial and later stages.
The spiritual root talent is also the most genuine, with only a few heavenly spiritual roots and no heterodox spiritual roots.
Li Hui thought for a moment and had some guesses in his mind.
Sign up to participate in the city guard assessment, as long as you reach the foundation period. However, those who sign up are all among the best of the foundation repairmen, and there are not a few repairmen who have some special divine skills. In the middle of the foundation period, the repairmen, if they really fight, may not be weaker than those in the late foundation period. It's likely that the repairmen in the late foundation period can only rely on their cultivation to win by a narrow margin.
As for those who are in the early stages of building their foundation, they should also have some hidden cards, otherwise they wouldn't dare to come and compete with so many people whose cultivation is far superior to their own.
Li Hui's conclusion was not entirely based on speculation, but rather through analysis of the corresponding situations of spiritual roots and cultivation.
Those few cultivators of the Tianling Sect were all just in the initial stage of foundation building. Moreover, most of them had true spirit roots, with only a handful having triple spirit roots, and Li Hui, who had five spirit roots, was particularly exceptional among them.
In the middle of the foundation, most are true spiritual roots, and there are a few three-spiritual-root cultivators. In the late stage of the foundation, three-spiritual-root cultivators account for more than half, and the rest are all true spiritual root cultivators.
The land of Xia State, the vast and desolate wilderness is full of untapped treasures, the level of cultivation is far beyond that of Chu State. It's not surprising that there are some special skills and divine artifacts here. The city guard's examination is very strict, only a few people with exceptional abilities dare to sign up.
How many cultivators are there in the city of Ziwai, probably only the Ziwai Palace knows, but just from the scale of the city of Ziwai, it can be imagined that it is a huge number.
This city guard is an important external force of the Ziwei Palace, and it's not surprising that many monks want to enter, but only a few outstanding talents can make it.
After finishing the review, Li Hui and others still stood in the hall, waiting for the next arrangement.
"Reporting to Commander, the re-examination has been completed. Two hundred and sixty-three people's cultivation have all reached the Foundation Establishment period or above, meeting the initial assessment requirements of the City Guard." A captain-level Foundation Establishment cultivator reported to Lü Yan Zhao.
Lü Yanzhao nodded, and the monk retreated to one side.
Another team leader stepped forward to report: "Reporting to the commander, this year 70 formal members of the city guard have retired and left the team. Ten people have signed up for the Divine Wind Camp assessment. Regardless of whether they pass or not, these ten people will leave the team, so a total of 80 new team members need to be replenished."
Joining the city guard is not only about maintaining law and order within the city, but also involves executing tasks such as eliminating monsters on the outskirts of the city and eradicating certain evil forces.
Most of the cultivators who joined the city guard did so for two reasons: one, to gain experience; and two, because those with military achievements would receive many extra rewards from the Ziwu Palace, some of which could even benefit their sects or families. This was why so many cultivators flocked to join, and the major sects also attached great importance to this matter.
After serving in the city guard for two years, one can choose to leave or continue to stay. If no military merit or other benefits are gained from staying in the city guard, many people will choose to retire after two years. There are also some exceptional individuals who are not satisfied with staying in the city guard and will try to take the exam for the Wind Guard. If they pass, it's naturally better; if not, they won't continue to stay in the city guard either.
Lyu Yanzhao nodded: "The City Guard still has fifty reserve members, these people will also participate in the assessment. So there are a total of three hundred and thirteen people participating in the assessment, with the top eighty being admitted."
Lü Yanzhao's expression changed slightly as he swept his gaze downward, then continued: "Among the newly registered team members, there may also be those who want to participate in the Divine Wind Camp assessment. Perhaps not just eighty people, but the difference is negligible."
Li Hui's heart skipped a beat, he was going to participate in the city guard assessment and then continue to participate in the Shenfeng Camp assessment, and didn't know if there were others who had made similar plans. Lü Yanzhao's words might not be solely directed at him.
At this time, the ten team captains of the city guard had returned to their seats. Lü Yanshao's gaze swept over Li Hui and more than 200 registered cultivators, opening his mouth calmly: "You all heard what was said earlier. More than 300 people participated in the assessment, but only 80 will become official team members. Another 50 will be kept as reserve team members. In other words, more than half of you will be eliminated."
Down below is a quiet place, everyone who comes here wants to become an official member of the City Guard, and if they can be a reserve member, that's fine too.
Reserve team members also perform some tasks on a daily basis, but the treatment is far from that of formal team members. In some special cases, such as the death or severe injury retirement of a formal team member, reserve team members who perform well can also be converted to formal team members.
Of course, these people are more likely to be considered as reserve team members who will often accompany the formal team members to perform some tasks, which is also a good experience. Generally speaking, the probability of converting from a reserve team member to a formal team member in the second year is still very high.
Lü Yanzhao continued, "Of course, if the assessment results of the first eighty people are all too poor, then perhaps I won't take any of them, and instead directly select elite disciples from the Ziwei Palace to make up for the required number."
Everyone present was secretly amazed, the city guard wanted elites, if the registered cultivators were really too bad, then it would be better to have none at all. The disciples under the gate of the Ziwei Palace were not lacking in elites, and everyone who could join the Ziwei Palace was extraordinary.
"Of course, such a situation is rare, and I still hope you all have a good performance."
Lü Yanzhao's face turned solemn: "This assessment has only one item."
Everyone below concentrated their minds and gazed at Lü Yan Zhao, knowing that what he was about to say next would be the most important information.
"Five days later, all 313 people who participated in the assessment will go to the Tianji Formation. Your performance will be evaluated based on that." Lyu Yan Zhao said calmly.
"Tianji Formation?" Li Hui's heart stirred, sounding like it had something to do with the Tianji Guard, but he was completely bewildered. The other cultivators around him were also mostly bewildered, only a small number of people showed a look of shock on their faces, apparently knowing the name of the Tianji Formation.
Those ten captains of the City Guard also showed a few points of astonishment, obviously knowing what the Tianji Formation was all about.
"Yu Cheng, you explain to them what Tianji Formation is." Lü Yanzhao said to a team leader.
"Yes sir!" replied a monk named Yu Cheng.
He immediately stood up and looked at Li Hui and others, calmly opening his mouth: "The Tianji Formation is a puppet formation set up by the City Guard to train the City Guard team members. It is limited to the training of Jiguan repairers and is divided into three levels. One level is more difficult than one level. In the whole camp, there are less than 30 people who can complete the three levels."
Below, the crowd of Shixi was in an uproar. Among the 200 formal team members of the Seventh Camp of Dongcheng District, fewer than thirty people could pass through the three passes. Then, for these newcomers to pass through, wasn't it even more a faint hope?
Lyu Yanzhao looked at the over 200 people with somewhat unsightly faces and calmly said, "Of course, it's not required for you to completely pass all three levels. I will evaluate your performance during the challenge. The ones who use the least amount of time in the first and second levels will be considered superior winners. In the third level, those who can stay for the longest period of time will be considered superior winners."
"Of course, if you can directly and completely pass the three levels, you can win directly and become an official team member. If you can't even pass two levels, you will be eliminated directly."
All of these newcomers fell into deep thought.
Lyu Yanzhao's words were very clear, only after passing the two levels can they be judged based on their performance. If they can't even pass the two levels, they don't even have the qualification to be judged. As for the third level, currently in the seventh camp, there are less than thirty people who can pass it, Lyu Yanzhao doesn't think these newbies will make any surprising performances.
The first and second stages are basic requirements that must be met, the faster the better. The third stage, in case of failure to pass, the longer you stay in the array, the stronger your strength.
"Alright, you all go back and prepare now. There are still five days left. The assessment will officially begin in five days."
More than 200 people immediately withdrew from the hall and returned to their respective rooms, waiting for the assessment five days later.
