My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 331: Assessment

Lu Bai knew full well the information on the Personal Interface.
There was no need to waste time paying attention to it, so he directly checked the Ability Pool randomly obtained in the first round.
【Failed Man (Gold): Obtain part of spider-like superpowers, able to shoot high-strength spider silk from fingers, and leap over walls and run along eaves, easily sticking to the wall.】
【Mighty Vajra Finger (Gold): Hard external strength, belonging to masculine force, one finger strikes anywhere, piercing chest and withdrawing organs, touching wood pierces wood, touching stone shatters stone.】
【Talent King (Gold): Current talent doubled.】
In fact, when Lu Bai saw that this round’s Ability Pool was Gold level, he no longer cared much about the specific effects of the three abilities drawn.
With 【Load Game】 and 【Restore】 in hand, abilities below Color level were dispensable to him.
Moreover, the three Gold abilities in this round seemed quite ordinary on the surface.
Especially the first two, 【Failed Man】 and 【Mighty Vajra Finger】; his Discard Pile had far too many abilities that could replace these two.
On the contrary, 【Talent King】 piqued his interest slightly.
It appeared to be from the same series as 【Mighty King】, with similar effects.
Except one doubles power, the other doubles talent.
There was nothing much to say; among the short ones, pick the tallest. Lu Bai could only choose 【Talent King】, relying on his sufficiently high Talent Value to perhaps make it effective.
After choosing, Lu Bai carefully observed his current position.
He was immediately stunned on the spot.
Normally, when entering the Deathmatch Arena, he would simply confirm there was no immediate urgent danger before prioritizing the randomly obtained Ability Pool.
So he hadn’t really paid attention to the majestic scenery surrounding the plaza where he was.
On the massive plaza resembling a Bagua shape, gorgeous patterns were carved, with a giant stone twice the height of a person standing at the center. Around the plaza, Divine Peaks were suspended in the air, with five-colored rainbow bridges spanning all directions.
Directly ahead were majestic palaces, like an Immortal paradise, with brilliant rosy clouds.
Amid them, immortal cranes soared, and ancient beasts roared.
Simply taking a breath made one feel refreshed and at ease.
But what concerned Lu Bai most was the dozens of White Robe men hovering in the air above the plaza; all of them emanated powerful aura fluctuations, inexplicably making one’s heart race.
Without a doubt, this Deathmatch Arena was a world with a Cultivation background.
Fortunately, Lu Bai did not look out of place, as he was not standing alone on the plaza.
Around him, a large crowd of young people had gathered, all looking quite nervous.
Young people accompanied by elders appeared more relaxed, but none were frivolous, clearly taking the upcoming event very seriously.
Unfortunately, as Lu Bai looked around, he saw no one with a Title above their head.
That meant, aside from him, there were no other Death Fighters present.
He wanted to ask those nearby about the general situation, but before he could pick a target, a cyan Rainbow Light emerged in the sky.
It shot over like lightning and finally hovered motionless above the plaza.
Inside it stood a young man.
He wore snow-white robes, spotless, with black hair to his waist, fluttering robes, a face so handsome it was enough to make one neglect gender, giving a feeling of not partaking in Mortal Worldly Affairs, as if an Immortal.
After he appeared, the crowd on the plaza immediately burst into an uproar.
The young women in the field had sparkling gazes, eager to figure out who he was.
Seeing this, some family elders hurriedly silenced their juniors, fearing to offend him.
The White Robe man seemed accustomed to such scenes and said mildly, “Sorry to keep everyone waiting. I am a True Disciple of Qingwang Sect, temporarily hosting this Entry Assessment. You can call me Senior Brother Chang.”
He did not seem to speak very loudly, yet everyone present could hear him clearly.
Many young people on the plaza, led by their family elders, bowed to him in respect.
“Disciples participating in the Entry Assessment, please remain in the central plaza.”
Before his words finished, the parents successively left, choosing to stay at the plaza edges to watch.
Only then did Lu Bai realize he had randomly become an entry Disciple this time.
Not yet clear on how high this world’s Power Level was, Lu Bai simply participated in the assessment calmly.
Perhaps to save time, Senior Brother Chang said no more and took out an Incense Stick to light it.
“The first round assessment is very simple: after one Incense Stick, those still maintaining a standing posture pass to the next round.”
At this, Senior Brother Chang looked up and cupped hands toward the hovering Senior Brothers.
It was clear this Senior Brother Chang had good prestige in the Sect; the White Robe Senior Brothers showed no defiance or slackness, uniformly erupting their Spiritual Power to summon a massive cyan square cauldron.
The square cauldron hovered above the plaza, emanating Heavy pressure.
In an instant, that omnipresent immense pressure was somewhat hard for even Lu Bai to endure.
Of course, this was without using any abilities.
Lu Bai just wanted to understand the situation, not some masochist; he silently restored 【Steel Body】, turning the pressure unbearable to ordinary people into a gentle breeze.
Relaxed as he was, he did not arrogantly look around, still maintaining the appearance of struggling against the pressure.
Frequent thuds sounded in his ears—people collapsing under the pressure.
Finally, the Incense Stick burned out, and the Heavy pressure dissipated.
“The pressure released by the Qingwang Cauldron tests your respective endurance limits. Only a firm heart Seeking Immortality and the Dao can persist under such pressure.”
After explaining, Senior Brother Chang looked at the hundreds still standing on the plaza and nodded satisfiedly: “Congratulations, everyone, on advancing to the next round.”
Almost all were young people, even some children; those who failed slumped on the ground sobbing, as this decided their life’s future.
However, no one said the assessment was unfair, as the content was openly stated.
Some Qingwang Sect disciples hovering in midair descended, guiding the failed examinees away.
The young people who passed were overjoyed, though a few steady ones barely kept calm.
Lu Bai stood in place, completely without emotional fluctuation; passing or not made little difference to him.
Senior Brother Chang slowly landed beside the giant stone at the plaza center and said clearly: “The second round assessment tests aptitude.”
