"No, no, don't misunderstand. Those who don't pass the Demon Eliminating Pool's test are still disciples of the Misty South Palace. But unfortunately, they lose any chance of becoming core disciples," Neil hurriedly clarified.
"Oh, and one more thing, the consequences of failing the Demon Eliminating Pool's assessment is more severe for the core disciples since they will be demoted to ordinary disciples. I guess you can consider the Demon Eliminating Pool the more accurate test for whether you are qualified to be a real core disciple or not," he added.

Even he had to take his opponent seriously if it were that strong. After all, he was only at the first grade of Skin Refinement now.
These three tests were indeed challenging.
He wouldn't be surprised if only misters at his level could pass the third strength test.
At this point, Ricky didn't dare to underestimate his opponent, so he readily burst out his seven mutants and chaotic power.
After all, even though he was only at the first grade of Skin Refinement, he had other powers he could use.
