Hidden Dragon, as the name implies, is the hidden dragon in the world.

Those who can make it onto the Hidden Dragon List are all dragons among men and, one day, when they grow up, they are destined to roar across the nine heavens and make a name for themselves.

And those who are qualified to be called dragons among men would certainly not have poor qualifications.

Of course, if you do not have enough qualifications, then you do not have the qualification to ascend the Hidden Dragon List.

Therefore, the first round of this Hidden Dragon Assembly is to assess the qualifications of the participants.

Such rules are very cruel but also fair.

If your qualifications are excellent enough, even if you have trained for a shorter time and your cultivation resources are not as good as those of the noble families' children, you can still pass the assessment and advance to the second round.

If your qualifications are mediocre, then even if your strength is stronger than everyone else's, you will still be eliminated.

For this first round, most people are full of confidence in themselves.

After all, since they dare to participate in the Hidden Dragon Assembly, they must be exceptionally talented strong contenders, even if some are slightly inferior, they certainly won't be too bad.

As for Wang Ruoxie, he is naturally not worried about his own qualifications.

His martial arts talent is undoubtedly unquestionable; during the entrance test of Celestial Sword Sect, he was already detected to have Nine-Star Swordsmanship Talent.

In fact, only he knows that the Inquiry Sword Stone cannot detect his true talent at all.

As for his bloodline, it is no longer what it was initially, a Yellow Level Third Grade; now, it has advanced to a Profound Level Second Grade.

Although a Profound Level Second Grade bloodline is not very outstanding in this Hidden Dragon Assembly, it is not too bad either, and should be enough to let him advance smoothly.

"Now, all the participants of the Hidden Dragon Assembly, begin to assess your qualifications in order."

At this moment, Elder Nie Cang of Star Hall, who was hosting the Hidden Dragon Assembly, said to everyone present.

With his words, everyone saw several people lift a circular jade mirror about two people tall onto the Battle Platform.

This circular jade mirror is a very special spiritual artifact. Although it has no power and cannot assist in cultivation, it can accurately assess the qualifications of martial cultivators.

Nearly a thousand young geniuses participating in the Hidden Dragon Assembly did not hesitate, and they all stepped forward, forming a long queue in front of the circular jade mirror.

"Report your name first, then proceed to assess your qualifications."

Nie Cang held a blank roster in his hand, obviously intending to record each person's assessment results.

"Yin Yuyan."

The first in line was a young man about nineteen years old, who slightly cupped his hands towards Nie Cang, reported his name, and then walked up to the circular jade mirror, gently placing his palm on it.

"Buzz!"

Immediately, accompanied by a light sound, the jade mirror shimmered with a faint glow.

In the next instant, a line of text appeared on the mirror.

"Talent: Six and a half stars, Bloodline: Profound Level First Grade."

It was evident that this young man named Yin Yuyan possessed six and a half stars of martial arts talent and a Profound Level First Grade bloodline.

"This jade mirror is quite different from the Inquiry Sword Stone of the Celestial Sword Sect, as it assesses martial arts talent rather than a specific aspect of talent."

Wang Ruoxie thought to himself.

The Inquiry Sword Stone assesses swordsmanship talent, while this jade mirror assesses martial arts talent. Moreover, it even has a division like six and a half stars, which seems more detailed.

"Six and a half stars martial arts talent is indeed somewhat mediocre, and the bloodline is only Profound Level First Grade, eliminated."

Nie Cang glanced at Yin Yuyan indifferently and then spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yin Yuyan's face turned pale, his eyes showing bitterness, and he could only turn around and walk off the platform rather despondently.

"Six and a half stars of martial arts talent and a Profound Level First Grade bloodline would be considered a top-tier genius in Wuyi County or even the Southern Prefecture, yet he couldn't pass even the first round of the Hidden Dragon Assembly."

Wang Ruoxie thought to himself.

Immediately after, another young man in blue brocade attire walked up to the jade mirror.

"Zhang Kong."

After announcing his name, the young man in blue also placed his palm on the jade mirror.

"Talent: Seven stars, Bloodline: Profound Level Third Grade."

Soon, the jade mirror assessed Zhang Kong's qualifications.

"Seven-star martial arts talent and a Profound Level Third Grade bloodline can be considered an excellent genius; advance."

Nie Cang nodded slightly towards Zhang Kong and spoke.

"Thank you, Elder Nie."

Upon hearing Nie Cang's words, Zhang Kong bowed slightly with a look of joy, then walked off the platform with excitement.

After that, the young geniuses participating in the Hidden Dragon Assembly went one by one to the jade mirror to assess their qualifications.

The results naturally varied, with some being eliminated and others advancing.

As for those famous and exceptional young talents, their assessment results were, without a doubt, that each successfully advanced.

Qin Heng, Qiu Yao, Ruan Junhao, Tang Liren, Nalan Ke, Duanmu Yun… those who had participated in the Hidden Dragon Assembly were already well-known for their qualifications, and this assessment was just a formality.

Tang Liren, Martial Arts Talent: Eleven stars, Bloodline: Earth Level Fifth Grade.

Qin Heng, Martial Arts Talent: Ten stars, Bloodline: Earth Level First Grade.

Qiu Yao, Martial Arts Talent: Ten stars, Bloodline: Earth Level Second Grade.

Ruan Junhao, Martial Arts Talent: Ten and a half stars, Bloodline: Earth Level Second Grade.

Nalan Ke, Martial Arts Talent: Nine and a half stars, Bloodline: Profound Level Ninth Grade.

Duanmu Yun, Martial Arts Talent: Nine stars, Bloodline: Earth Level First Grade.

...

"It can even assess talent above nine stars."

Seeing these people's assessment results, Wang Ruoxie thought with a hint of surprise.

He had thought that this jade mirror would be the same as the Inquiry Sword Stone, which could only assess up to nine-star talent.

Unexpectedly, the jade mirror's assessment results were not only more detailed but could also assess talent above nine stars.

With this, he became a bit expectant, wondering how his assessment results would turn out.

Soon, it was Wang Ruoxie's group's turn.

Standing at the forefront, Yang Honglie stepped up to the jade mirror.

"Yang Honglie."

After stating his name, Yang Honglie raised his hand and placed it on the jade mirror.

"Talent: Ten stars, Bloodline: Earth Level First Grade."

As Yang Honglie's assessment result appeared, the crowd was instantly in an uproar.

"So he's the eldest son of the Yang Family, Yang Honglie? I didn't expect his qualifications to be so outstanding, exactly the same as Qin Heng, one of the Ten Great Young Masters."

"Looking at his attire, it is evident he is already a true disciple of Celestial Sword Sect; his strength must also be substantial. It seems there will be a fierce competition between Qin Heng and him in this Hidden Dragon Assembly."

Many people looked at Yang Honglie with astonished eyes, discussing incessantly.

"Both talent and bloodline are extremely outstanding, pass."

Nie Cang smiled at Yang Honglie and said.

"Thank you, Elder Nie."

Yang Honglie cupped his hands slightly towards Nie Cang, then walked off the platform proudly, even casting a provocative glance at Wang Ruoxie.

Earlier in the Sect Master's Hall, this fellow had the audacity to say he would compete for first place with him, which was utterly ridiculous.

In his view, even if Wang Ruoxie's cultivation had broken through to the Seventh Layer of Element Transformation Realm, just like him, becoming a true disciple, Wang Ruoxie still wasn't qualified to compare with him.

There's even a great possibility that he wouldn't even pass the first round, given the opponent's bloodline was only Yellow Level Third Grade.
