The ensuing developments went exactly as Chen Sheng anticipated; they remained confined in the ancestral hall for two months.
The door to the hall was securely locked with thick Profound Iron, with two Elders personally standing guard. Chen Sheng and the other children who had tested for Spiritual Roots were arranged to stay in the western side room of the hall.
This place was originally used for storing offerings, but was now laid with a layer of dry straw, serving as their temporary lodgings.
Every day, someone was designated to teach them foundational Spells and watch them practice for two hours. Outside of that, they were left alone.
Two months is neither a long nor short period.
Initially, the children were restrained by the solemnity of the hall, but as time went by, they gradually let loose.
Zhang Chengjiao couldn't change his mischievous nature, often pulling other children to play stone games, though there was a noticeable reduction in the arrogance in his demeanor.
