"The second test will now begin," the First Elder announced, withdrawing a massive stone from his storage space and placing it on the clearing nearby. "This is a Shadow Stone used to test strength.

She hadn't expected the Huayang Sect to demand Mid Foundation Establishment; that level of strength would be enough to serve as a manager or an elder at Kongming Palace.
The first man stepped up and channeled his Spiritual Power into the Shadow Stone. Characters flickered rapidly across the surface before settling on "Late Foundation Establishment." Relieved, the man bowed to the First Elder and stood aside to wait.
