The ninth Soul Depth …. That was the best he could do ….

In front of the dragon gate, the middle-aged man's heart was in his throat. He was only one step away from perfection. If Cang Yun stopped here, that would be too much of a pity.

The results of the ninth grid were considered the highest in the Holy City, and the number of geniuses in each batch was no more than thirty. However, the number of geniuses in the Holy City was not so calculated.

This was because every year the Holy City would recruit new talents. A person's age ranged from five years to one decade. Within this cycle, there were a total of 300 people that had reached the ninth grade.

Only by passing the tenth level would one be able to enter the top 100 ranks within their age range. In the future, they would be able to safely enter the Mortal Board.

Cang Yun did not know the numbers, but he also did not want to give up. Putting aside the huge dragon mark reward, he was just one step away from giving up.

There were too many geniuses in the Holy City, and there were too many top geniuses. If they didn't fight for it, they would be wiped out in the future. That kind of result was not what Cang Yun wanted from the bottom of his heart.

You have to do the best, the brightest, the brightest!

"Hah!"

In the next moment, Cang Yun let out a low shout, and a scorching and violent stream of pure yang energy exploded from his body.

A bright and scorching light enveloped him as Cang Yun's expression turned solemn, as if he was the son of the sun.

"This is …" Middle-aged man's mouth slightly opened. He was surprised and happy.

Rumble …

In the next moment, the dragon gate was pushed open once again.

Crack!

With a light sound, the dragon door finally completely opened. It froze on the tenth square meter.

In a split-second, the dragon-shaped carving on the door began to emit a dazzling light while at the same time, an excited and resonant dragon roar resounded throughout the entire hall.

The dragon had come to life. This was a true 'fish leaping over a dragon gate'!

Cang Yue smiled and was sincerely happy for Cang Yun.

"Alright, alright!" The middle-aged man also clapped his hands in admiration. To be able to witness the birth of a peerless genius, he was obviously extremely happy.

Cang Yun smiled back and retreated.

"The results of the two of you are respectively the eighth test. You have successfully completed this stage, so naturally, you have passed this stage." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Next is the final exam. If you pass it, you will become a member of Holy City!"

Hearing this, both Cang Yun and Qing Feng felt their spirits being lifted. However, at the same time, they felt slightly nervous in their hearts.

Whether he could pass it or not depended on him.

The middle-aged man chuckled, "You don't have to be so nervous. With the results of your first trial, passing this trial is practically no problem."

"Eh, the second test is even simpler?" Cang Yun asked curiously.

However, the main purpose of setting up the second stage of the exam is for those people who just passed the first stage of the exam, in order to make another selection. Both of you have good results, and the second stage is just a formality. The middle-aged man explained.

This way...

The two people from Cang Yun Sect suddenly understood, and their nervous mood had relaxed by more than half.

"I have to remind you guys that no matter what the results of the second stage are, there will be no Dragon Mark reward for them. Therefore, you don't need to go all out like in the first stage. It will be fine as long as you pass." The middle-aged man added.
