Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Swish, swish, swish~
Another three rays of piercing light shot up into the sky.
A seven-star talent!
Countless gazes in the entire public square were filled with incomparable shock as they stared at the elevated platform.
Everyone was completely stunned.
A seven-star talent. In the Jialan Academy, it had been three years whereby a seven-star talent hadn’t been produced.
“How could this be? How could you have a seven-star talent? There must be a mistake with the soul testing rock!” Bai Yifei was unable to accept this as he kept shouting in denial.
At the side, Su Yuexi also kept shaking her head. She was unable to accept the fact that Lin Feng actually was a seven-star talent.
Lin Feng laughed uproariously. He then unleashed the full power of his devouring martial soul.
The power of his martial soul flowed endlessly into the soul testing rock.
“Swish, swish, swish~”
Yet another three rays of light shot up into the sky.
There was a total of ten rays of light that shot up into the clouds.
At this moment, in the entire public square, the gazes of countless people were filled with incredulous disbelief and shock. It felt like they had just seen a living ghost.
Time seemed to stop completely.
“Ten-star talent, he is actually a ten-star talent! Our Jialan Academy has actually produced a character with a ten-star talent!”
The four vice headmasters were no longer able to keep their calm. All of them stood up and were filled with disbelief, shouting themselves hoarse in excitement.
Ten stars illuminating the sky!
In the public square of the Jialan Academy, everyone was stunned.
The Jialan Academy had a thousand years of history. But there had never been a student who had a ten-star talent.
It was said that the highest ever-recorded talent was a nine-star talent. That senior was an expert from 800 years ago. After that, this senior with nine-star talent managed to cultivate to the peak of the Martial King Realm. He then became a legendary character of the Jialan Academy.
And now, a person with ten-star talent finally appeared in the academy.
“Impossible, how can this be! This must be false, this cannot be!” Su Yuexi kept shaking her head as she shouted in denial.
She had no way to believe that the Lin Feng she had abandoned actually had a ten-star talent. This was a level of talent that would only appear in the legends.
As for Bai Yifei who was at the side, his expression was incomparably gloomy. He felt a burning sensation on the side of his face.
After the initial excitement, the four vice headmasters also calmed down a bit.
Xuanyuan Mo, the vice headmaster of the Purple Light Branch Court smiled. “This child Lin Feng has a supreme talent and has created history. I’m filled with anticipation. I wonder how he would do for the later test.”
Shen Guji, the vice headmaster of the Falling Moon Branch Court said, “I heard that this child was inflicted by some fire poison because he aided a female student in treatment? That resulted in his cultivation base falling and his meridians damaged.
“What? There’s such a thing? If his meridians are damaged, that would severely affect his cultivation.” The expression of Dongfang Cheng, the vice headmaster of the Constellation Branch Court, stiffened. His eyes were filled with pity.
Gongyang Ming, the vice headmaster of the Long River Branch Court spoke, “He is such a good seedling, but if his cultivation path is destroyed because his body is damaged, that would truly be a pity.
The four vice headmasters were discussing this matter; looks of pity and regret appeared on their faces. After knowing that there were problems with Lin Feng’s body, the four vice headmasters no longer paid attention to him. Their gazes flitted past him and turned to Bai Yifei among the crowd.
Although Bai Yifei’s martial soul couldn’t hold a candle to Lin Feng’s, Bai Yifei was ultimately from a major clan and his talent was considered outstanding. He now became a person that the four vice headmasters were paying attention to.
Finally, the first round finally ended.
There was a total of 1,576 students who had passed the first test.
Deacon Song Canghai called out in a loud voice, “Alright everyone, the second test will now commence. It will be a test to measure your strength.”
At this moment, someone moved a gigantic piece of strength testing rock onto the elevated platform.
Strength test, this exam tested the strength of one’s body.
Strength was unleashed from the body. Therefore, this strength testing rock could measure the level of toughness the student’s body had reached.
“The second examination shall begin.”
Numerous students then walked up the elevated platform in succession once more.
BOOM!
After that, these students gathered their strength and punched the giant rock one after another.
They summoned the entirety of their strength and unleashed their strongest punch at the strength testing rock.
“Three rays of red light, four rays of yellow light. Punch force of 3,400 jin!”
“Three rays of red light, three rays of yellow light. Punch force of 3,300 jin!”
The strength of many of those who passed the first round was average.
There were also several students at the sixth-level of the Martial Student Realm whose strength didn’t reach the minimum criteria of 3,200 jin, all of them were eliminated.
At this moment, Su Yuexi walked up the platform and issued a punch at the strength testing rock.
“Swish, swish, swish, swish~”
A total of four red rays shot into the sky.
“4,000 jin of strength!”
“Not bad, a student that has 4,000 jin worth of strength has appeared.”
The eyes of the four vice headmasters brightened.
Su Yuexi also had a look of satisfaction on her face as she walked down the elevated platform.
“Yuexi, the strength of your punch has reached 4,000 jin. Seems like the Purple Yang Pill is of great help to you.” Bai Yifei smiled.
“Many thanks, Elder Brother Fei for giving me a Purple Yang Pill. If you weren’t here, how could I stand here today?” Su Yuexi charmingly spoke.
Bai Yifei then spoke, “Yuexi, you don’t have to feel worried because of that trash. He might have a ten-star talent; however, that can only prove that his martial soul is excellent. But in this world, one’s body is the foundation of one’s cultivation. The meridians of that fellow are damaged and he can already be considered a cripple. How could he be a threat?”
When Su Yuexi heard Bai Yifei’s words, a smile finally appeared on her face.
Very soon, it was Bai Yifei’s turn.
RUMBLE~
Bai Yifei punched out.
Swish~
A bright light flashed.
A total of five red rays shot up into the sky.
The strength of his punch reached 5,000 jin!
“Good fellow, 5,000 jin of strength!”
“This Bai Yifei is as expected of a genius.”
From the surroundings, sounds of exclamations rang out.
Countless gazes were filled with envy when they turned and looked at Bai Yifei.
“Bai Yifei, my Purple Light Branch Court is willing to take out three peak-grade yellow-tier martial skills for you. How about joining us?” Xuanyuan Mo issued an invitation.
The other three vice headmasters were instantly flustered. They didn’t expect this old fox would immediately issue an invitation when Bai Yifei just finished the second test.
The three of them silently cursed at how shameless Xuanyuan Mo was. They instantly began to vie against each other and also issued invitations.
“Bai Yifei, join my Falling Moon Branch Court. We are willing to provide all cultivation resources you might need.” Shen Guji, the vice headmaster of the Falling Moon Branch Court issued his invitation.
“Bai Yifei, it’s better for you to join my Constellation Branch Court. This old man will accept you as a personal disciple.” The vice headmaster of the Constellation Branch Court, Dongfang Cheng, issued his invitation.
Gongyang Ming, the vice headmaster of the Long River Branch Court spoke, “Bai Yifei, if you join my Long River Branch Court, we will catch and tame a spiritual beast for you to be used as a mount. How about it?”
The four branch courts all issued invitations to Bai Yifei.
Bai Yifei felt extremely satisfied seeing that his goal was reached.
Countless students were all filled with envy toward Bai Yifei.
“Hmph, Did the four of you wish to break the academy’s rules?” At this moment, a cold snort rang out from within the academy.
After that, it was unknown when but an old man had appeared on the elevated platform.
The four vice headmasters instantly stood up and respectfully greeted, “Greetings sir.”
This old man was named ‘Wang Lin.’ He was one of the two overall vice headmasters in the entire Jialan Academy. His authority was only second to the main headmaster of the Jialan Academy.
Wang Lin nodded. “For those who wish to join the inner court, they have to pass through all three examinations. This rule cannot be changed. Now, let the testing continue.”
At this moment, Lin Feng walked up the platform.
Bai Yifei disdainfully glanced at Lin Feng. “Haha, brat. Did you see it? My strength has already reached 5,000 jin. Is the toughness of my body something you can imagine? You are just a descendant of a minor clan, although your innate talent might not be bad, how can the strength and toughness of your body be comparable to this young master’s? Even if your body is undamaged, you are still far from being able to compete with me, let alone now. Compared to me, you are like the light of the firefly while I’m the radiant moon. You should stop overestimating yourself.”
“5,000 jin of strength? Is that very powerful?”
A smile of contempt appeared on Lin Feng’s face.
He drew in a deep breath and circulated the Immemorial Dragon Elephant Art before erupting forth with a punch.
BOOM!
Lin Feng’s punch slammed into the strength testing rock.
