My Super Pet Dragon

The first stage was mining. To the miners, this was a very simple matter.

Without the help of the little azure dragon, Yang Tian could be considered to have passed the assessment within the stipulated time. Of the thousands of miners who participated in the assessment, 3,000 had passed.

In the second stage, 3,000 people ran around the mountain path of the mining area. The first 500 people who completed the first round would enter the next round of assessment and the rest would be eliminated.

It was not easy to run around the mountain road of the mining area within a radius of several hundred kilometers.

This round mainly tested one’s endurance.

This was not the only mining area in the Hui’e family. Every three years, more than ten such large mines would be assessed at the same time.

During the assessment process, the Hui’e family would naturally send professionals over to take charge. The management of the mining area was alright. If they wanted to find some people with cultivation aptitude among the miners... forget it!

From this assessment, it seemed that the physical fitness of the humans in this world was very good.

If it were not for the quota, at least half of the people would be able to complete the task of running a lap.

Each assessment took three days. During these three days, the miners did not have to work, which was equivalent to a three-day holiday.

Although most of the people did not register, they gathered in the middle of the mining area to watch the show. Some even opened a gambling game, betting on how many levels the people participating in the assessment could pass, or who would win in the end.

If one paid more money when registering, they would naturally receive preferential treatment.

Yang Tian was given a day of rest and a few nutritious meals. After resting and eating, he naturally had more energy to participate in the test.

Yang Tian passed the second test easily.

After coming to this world, although he had lost most of his strength, his physical fitness was still much stronger than the average human in this world.

The third stage was a test of strength.

The people sent from above placed a black stone lock that was the size of a wicker basket in the middle of the stage. As long as the participants could lift it up and take ten steps, they would be considered to have passed the test.

More than half of the participants had been eliminated from this stage. Only 155 people had passed the test. Naturally, Yang Tian was among the 100 people.

According to Yang Tian’s estimation, this stone lock weighed between 500 to 600 pounds.

The fourth test tested one’s cultivation talent and specialty.

As for cultivation talent, there was no need for Yang Tian and the others to do anything. They just stood there. Then, a few middle-aged men sent by the higher-ups would touch the arms, shoulders, and calves of Yang Tian and the others.

Yang Tian estimated that they were probably checking the muscles, bones, and other conditions.

In terms of cultivation talent, more than half of the people were eliminated, and only ten people passed in the end.

What surprised Yang Tian was that he was actually thought to have no cultivation talent!

These people who were in charge of the assessment were really lacking in judgment! Yang Tian thought to himself. Yang Tian did not doubt whether he could become a powerhouse at all.

Yang Tian and the little azure dragon looked at each other for a moment. Then, they said to a tall black-robed middle-aged man, “I have a specialty.”

“What specialty?”The black-robed middle-aged man asked.

Yang Tian said, “I know runes.”

As soon as Yang Tian finished speaking, the black-robed middle-aged man laughed. “Knowing runes is not as simple as understanding them. You have to make them combine to produce power.”

“No problem.”Yang Tian answered very confidently.

Regarding runes, Yang Tian believed that no one could compare to the strange program. Even the Talisman Masters of this world definitely couldn’t compare to the strange program.

What the strange program lacked now was only runic information.

In Yang Tian’s universe, the runic information that appeared was definitely not as rich as this world.

From the collar around Yang Tian’s neck, the strange program had collected many runes that it had never read before.

Seeing Yang Tian’s confident appearance, the black-robed middle-aged man’s eyes revealed a doubtful expression.

Because a person who knew runes was almost impossible to wander to the mining area and become a lowly miner.

The black-robed middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then said to Yang Tian, “Alright, prove it to me. If you really have talent in the Dao of runes, my Hui’e family will definitely not bury our talents.”

“How do I prove it?”Yang Tian asked.

The black-robed middle-aged man said, “Do as you see fit!”

The most direct method was to remove the collar from his neck.

This would not take long, but Yang Tian considered it for a moment and decided not to do such a shocking thing.

The collars worn by the miners were definitely designed by an expert. If they were removed easily, it would definitely shock the huihe family and they would suspect... that the subsequent matters would be beyond Yang Tian’s control.

It was better to just show off a little.

“Do you have a talisman pen?”Yang Tian nodded and asked.

The black-robed middle-aged man shook his head. “This old man doesn’t know how to use talismans, so I naturally don’t have a talisman pen.”

After saying that, he looked at his other five companions.

The five of them also shook their heads.

Yang Tian said, “Then return my storage bracelet to me. There’s my talisman pen inside.”

The middle-aged man nodded and looked at the manager beside him.

The manager immediately turned around and left. Half an hour later, he took Yang Tian’s storage bracelet and the worm brain pendant over and returned them to Yang Tian.

Storage tools seemed to be very difficult to crack in this world. Otherwise, these things wouldn’t have remained until now.

After managing it for so long, he probably had to rummage through the storeroom for a long time to find it.

...

As long as these things weren’t lost, Yang Tian couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

Yang Tian hung the worm brain pendant around his neck and wore three storage bracelets on his wrists.

Seeing that Yang Tian actually had three storage bracelets, the black-robed middle-aged man was somewhat surprised. Because storage wristbands were not something that ordinary people could obtain.

The black-robed middle-aged man was somewhat suspicious of Yang Tian’s identity.

However, the situation in the mining area was complicated. The mine owner in charge of the mine bribed people for profit. As long as they could mine without threatening the safety of the mining area, they did not care who they bought, what was the identity of this person in the past.

Under everyone’s curious gazes, Yang Tian took out the talisman pen that the Grand Priestess of Taiyu had given him from his storage bracelet.

This talisman pen was made of a special material. After taking it out, it was not damaged.

As long as it could be used, it was fine. Yang Tian then walked in front of the black stone lock that he had used to test his strength.

Since he was allowed to freely display his strength, Yang Tian communicated with the strange program in his mind and came up with a plan.

Under the control of the strange program, Yang Tian used more than half an hour to engrave runes of all sizes on the black stone lock.

After engraving, Yang Tian put the talisman pen into his storage bracelet. He turned around and smiled at the black-robed middle-aged man, “It’s done.”

...

The black-robed middle-aged man walked forward, grabbed the handle of the stone lock, and easily lifted it up.

“Peng ~”

After picking it up, the black-robed middle-aged man casually threw the stone lock on the ground and said with a smile, “Not bad! You reduced its weight by one-third.”

After saying that, the black-robed middle-aged man immediately said, “However, such a method will not allow you to pass my test.”

“Your Test?”Yang Tian was very surprised.

“That’s right!”The black-robed middle-aged man said, “The test in this mining area is decided by me. If I say it won’t work, it won’t work.”

“Then give me a question! See if I can do it.”Yang Tian said helplessly.

Yang Tian understood that this person in front of him was deliberately making things difficult for him. This kind of difficulty might be because the other party did not like him, or it might be to force out his potential and see how deep his attainments in the Dao of runes were.

The black-robed middle-aged man smiled slightly and pointed at the mountain peak in front of him, saying, “If you can make it disappear from my eyes, then you’ve passed the test.”

This was to make Yang Tian set up an illusion array.

“No Problem!”

These three words weren’t said by Yang Tian, but by the strange program in his mind.

Yang Tian nodded and walked towards the short mountain a kilometer ahead.
