"I was just thinking about scoring some extra points, who knew it would be completely useless."
Mu Jinyu, hearing Jian Ruyan's complaint, also said somewhat sheepishly.
Jian Ruyan didn't say much more and directly took the ten Pass Tokens she had in her hand, kept one for herself, and threw the remaining nine to the group of Outer Sect Disciples.
By this time, the Outer Sect Disciples all understood that even if they didn't get a Pass Token, it wouldn't count as a failure, so those who were not strong enough showed no interest in these nine Pass Tokens.
Only those who were strong enough and were already intending to participate in the upcoming Outer Gate competition would take the opportunity to snatch one.
In the process of fighting for the tokens, they also contended with one another to some extent.
Of course, it was all on a moderate level, there was no repetition of Mu Jinyu's previous situation where everyone ended up beaten black and blue with serious injuries!
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu said to Jian Ruyan, "You didn't need to keep one, I had already left one for you and Wen Rou when I made my move."
Jian Ruyan glanced at him and said indifferently, "I have my own token that I got, why would I want one from you? If you have extras, give them to them."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu felt it made sense. If Jian Ruyan had let him throw away the last three Pass Tokens he had and then given him one, he certainly would have felt uncomfortable too.
Thinking this way, Mu Jinyu prepared to throw out another token, then check if Wen Rou had managed to get a token inside. If she did, then he would deal with the last extra one later.
However, the likelihood seemed quite small.
After all, there were only fifty Pass Tokens in total. He had taken thirty-six, Jian Ruyan had taken ten, there should have been four left inside, but he remembered that just before Jian Ruyan came out, a disciple had already come out with a Pass Token.
That was the first person aside from him and Jian Ruyan to come out with a Pass Token, so, in reality, there were only three Pass Tokens left inside the screening channel.
With only three Pass Tokens left, but Wu Lei, Li Xiaoxiao, Chen Qiuqiao, and Wen Rou all yet to come out, it was obvious that someone would end up without a Pass Token.
And among them, Wu Lei and the others were clearly more experienced in this type of selection test. In comparison, the chances of Wen Rou getting a Pass Token were even slimmer.
Mu Jinyu was about to throw out another Pass Token when someone else came out again from the entrance of the screening channel.
This person was neither one of the top three masters of the Outer Gate nor Wen Rou; instead, it was a disciple from the Third Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm.
After stepping out of the entrance, he displayed his Pass Token and then sat alone on one side, quietly beginning his Qi regaining practice.
As he revealed his Pass Token, a silence fell over the crowd for a few moments, then suddenly erupted into an uproar.
"Oh my, Brother Wei got a Pass Token and came out?"
"My God, does that mean there are only two Pass Tokens left inside?"
"But until now, Brother Wu, Sister Li, and Brother Chen haven't come out yet!"
"Doesn't that mean that among them, one will definitely not get a Pass Token? If they are even less fortunate, maybe only one of them will come out with a token?"
People murmured, casting surreptitious glances towards Mu Jinyu, their looks filled with reverence but also tinged with a thrill.
In past selection tests, the top three masters of the Outer Gate might not have been the first three to come out with Pass Tokens, but they had definitely been among the first five to come out with them.
But now, due to Mu Jinyu's sudden rise along with his sister stirring things up inside, they had taken forty-six tokens, making this selection test unprecedentedly likely to see at least one of the top three masters of the Outer Gate not get a Pass Token!
This sounded somewhat farcical and seemed like a charade, but without Mu Jinyu, they probably wouldn't have witnessed such a humiliating moment for the top three masters of the Outer Gate!
The situation was absurd yet somewhat exhilarating.
Everyone hoped the selection test would end soon so they could see the expressions on Wu Lei, Chen Qiuqiao, and the others when they came out!
"Wow, here comes one!"
Just then, Wu Lei strode out from the screening channel, his expression not looking too good, but he did have a Pass Token in his hand.
His unpleasant expression was not because he hadn't got a Pass Token, but because it took him far too long to finally get one, which he felt compromised his dignity.
However, just when he thought that after he came out, he would be teased by Li Xiaoxiao and Chen Qiuqiao, he instead heard the sounds of admiration:
"Wow, as expected of Brother Wu, besides those two who messed around, he's also the third one out, right?"
"Impressive, impressive, now, inside, there should be only one Pass Token left!"
"Ah, who knows, will it be Sister Li who gets it, or Brother Chen?"
"There's going to be a good show..."
Wu Lei heard these whispers, his expression slightly changed.
'What's going on? From what they are saying, haven't Li Xiaoxiao and Chen Qiuqiao come out yet? Am I actually the third one to come out?'
'But if I am the third to come out, how come there's only one last Pass Token left inside?'
Wu Lei felt a bit puzzled in his heart, but seeing that everyone looked at him with respect, it didn't seem like they were mocking him.
And, indeed, there was no sign of Li Xiaoxiao and Chen Qiuqiao in the square, so he quickly stepped forward to find someone familiar and ask what exactly was going on.
Soon, Wu Lei fully understood the situation and turned his head to look at Mu Jinyu who was standing with Lin Feng and the others on the high platform; his expression became even more grave.
Originally, he had felt that Mu Jinyu would be a formidable enemy, but he had not expected him to be ridiculously dominant to this extent, taking only about fifteen minutes to snatch thirty-six Pass Tokens!
And his unassuming sister had also managed to take ten by herself.
No wonder he had searched for so long only to finally find one!
'The fights to come are not going to be so easy.'
Wu Lei murmured cautiously to himself.
At that moment, a commotion arose again.
Wu Lei turned his head again, looking towards the screening passage entrance, and saw Li Xiaoxiao holding a Pass Token and coming out, the reason for the commotion.
The appearance of Li Xiaoxiao also signified the end of this screening test, and Chen Qiuqiao, being one of the top three experts of the Outer Gate, was surprisingly eliminated!
No wonder it caused a commotion!
"Dong Dong!!"
As all fifty Pass Tokens were taken, a deep bell sound suddenly echoed through the screening passage.
This was telling the disciples still inside that they could come out now, the screening test was over.
Soon, a large group of disciples came out dejectedly.
They had persisted until the end, desperately searching for Pass Tokens among the Wooden Dummies, but ultimately failed, which couldn't help but leave them disheartened!
Before long, Wen Rou also came out.
Her face bitter, she walked over to Mu Jinyu, her expression apologetic, and she softly said to Mu Jinyu, "I'm sorry, Little Mu, I've disappointed you..."
"It's okay, it's normal that you didn't get one, I was mistaken!" Mu Jinyu quickly took out a Pass Token and handed it to Wen Rou, while explaining to her about him and Jian Ruyan taking a total of forty-six Tokens!
After hearing this, Wen Rou couldn't help but open her mouth wide, feeling very surprised.
She hadn't expected Mu Jinyu to wreak such havoc, no wonder she couldn't find a single Pass Token no matter how hard she searched.
It wasn't that she was too weak; there were simply none left!
At that moment, a commotion rose up again in the Outer Gate Square.
Mu Jinyu, hearing the noise, looked toward it, and saw Chen Qiuqiao walking out from the passage entrance, her face ashen.
