Ten Stars Illumining the Day!
The entire Jialan Academy square was stunned.
The Jialan Academy had been established for a thousand years.
Yet it had never seen a student with Ten-star Talent.
It was said at most, one might reach Nine-star. That predecessor lived eight hundred years ago, and later, that Nine-star Talent reached the Peak of Martial King, becoming a legendary figure of Jialan Academy.
Now, the academy had someone with Ten-star Talent.
"No way, impossible, no way, impossible," Su Yuexi kept shaking her head, screaming madly.
She couldn't believe that Lin Feng, whom she had abandoned, was actually a Ten-star Talent, something only found in legends.
Meanwhile, Bai Yifei's face was extremely grim, feeling as if his face was burning.
Just now, he had looked down on Lin Feng's talent.
In an instant, it was as if he was slapped in the face.
The slap was so loud that Bai Yifei felt the surrounding students seemed to be looking at him with mocking eyes.
This made the proud Bai Yifei feel maddened, and he completely hated Lin Feng, filled with jealousy and hatred, with a killing intent towards Lin Feng in his heart.
After the initial excitement, the four deputy directors calmed down.
Xuanyuan Mo, deputy director of the Purple Light Branch, smiled and said, "Lin Feng, this child is extraordinarily talented, creating history. I'm truly looking forward to how astounding his next test will be."
Shen Guji, deputy director of the Falling Moon Branch, said, "I heard this child seemed to have absorbed fire poison in his body to heal a female student, causing his cultivation to plummet, with his body also corroded by the fire poison, injuring his meridians."
"What? There's such a thing? If the meridians are damaged, the impact on cultivation is too great," Dongfang Cheng, deputy director of the Star Branch, said, his face changing slightly with a look of regret.
Gongyang Ming of the Changhe Branch said, "Such a good seedling, ruined on the path of cultivation because of physical issues, truly a pity."
As the four deputy directors discussed the matter, with a hint of regret between their brows, after knowing Lin Feng had physical problems, they no longer focused on Lin Feng. Their gazes drifted past Lin Feng, looking at Bai Yifei among the crowd.
Although Bai Yifei's Martial Soul couldn't compete with Lin Feng's, Bai Yifei hailed from a noble family with excellent talent, being the primary focus of the four deputy directors.
At this moment, the test was still going on.
One by one, students performed the test.
Finally, the testing was completed.
A total of one thousand five hundred seventy-six people passed the first round of tests.
Deacon Song Canghai shouted loudly, "Alright everyone, now we begin the second round of testing, the strength test."
Someone brought a giant Strength Testing Stone onto the arena.
The strength test was about the physical body.
The power of the physical body could test what level a student's physical strength was at a certain realm.
"The second round of testing starts."
One by one, students stepped onto the arena.
Boom…
Then, these students gathered strength and threw their punches.
One by one, students concentrated all their strength, unleashing their strongest punch onto the Strength Testing Stone.
"Three red lights, four yellow lights, fist force of three thousand four hundred pounds!"
"Three red lights, three yellow lights, fist force of three thousand three hundred pounds!"
The strength of many students was moderate.
These students were talents from the Outer Court, with strength also at the Sixth Level of Martial Artist.
The strength was generally over three thousand pounds, with no particularly outstanding students.
However, for students at the Sixth Level of Martial Artist, strength surpassing three thousand two hundred pounds was considered qualified.
"Three red lights, one yellow light, three thousand one hundred pounds of strength, eliminated!"
"Two red lights, nine yellow lights, two thousand nine hundred pounds of strength, eliminated!"
Quite a few students at the Sixth Level of Martial Artist didn't meet the "standard" of three thousand two hundred pounds and were all eliminated.
These students, during usual cultivation, were lax and relied more on elixirs to elevate their strength. After the elevation, without stabilizing the realm, being eliminated was understandable.
"Bang…"
At this moment, Su Yuexi stepped up and threw a punch onto the Strength Testing Stone.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish."
Four consecutive red lights shot up.
"Four thousand pounds of strength!"
"Not bad; a student with four thousand pounds of strength emerged."
The eyes of the four major branch directors lit up.
Su Yuexi walked down quite satisfied.
"Yuexi, the force of your punch reached four thousand pounds; it seems the Purple Sun Pill helped you greatly," Bai Yifei said with a smile.
"Thanks to Brother Fei for providing Yuexi with the Purple Sun Pill. Without Brother Fei's help, how could Yuexi be where she is today?" Su Yuexi said in a bird-like sweet manner.
Her gaze inadvertently glanced over towards Lin Feng, showing a hint of worry.
Bai Yifei said, "Yuexi, don't worry about that loser. Though his talent may be Ten-star Talent, that only shows his Martial Soul is quite good. However, on the path of martial arts, the physical body is the foundation. That boy's meridians are damaged; his body is wasted. What threat can he pose?"
Hearing Bai Yifei's words, a smile appeared on Su Yuexi's face.
She smiled slightly and said, "Yuexi has never worried about that kind of loser. His life was already destined; a salted fish can never turn over."
"Ha ha, indeed, a salted fish will never turn over. I like this saying," Bai Yifei laughed heartily.
Soon, it was Bai Yifei's turn to test.
Boom.
Bai Yifei delivered a punch.
Swish...
The light flickered!
Five red lights shot up.
The force of his punch reached five thousand pounds.
"Goodness, five thousand pounds of strength!"
"Bai Yifei truly deserves to be a genius!"
From around, exclamations of surprise arose.
Countless eyes looked at Bai Yifei with admiration.
"A Sixth Level Martial Artist has reached five thousand pounds of strength; this time in the strength test, Bai Yifei should be the first."
Xuanyuan Mo, the deputy director of the Purple Light Branch, smiled and nodded.
"Bai Yifei, my Purple Light Branch is willing to give you three Yellow Rank peak martial skills, how about joining my Purple Light Branch?"
Xuanyuan Mo directly extended an invitation.
The other three deputy directors were furious, not expecting Xuanyuan Mo, this old shameless fellow, to invite Bai Yifei right after the second round of testing.
The three insulted Xuanyuan Mo inwardly for being utterly shameless and quickly rushed to invite as well.
"Bai Yifei, join my Falling Moon Branch; my Falling Moon Branch provides all cultivation resources for you," Shen Guji, deputy director of the Falling Moon Branch, extended an invitation.
"Bai Yifei, come to my Star Branch, and this old man will personally take you as a disciple," Dongfang Cheng, deputy director of the Star Branch, also invited.
Gongyang Ming, deputy director of the Changhe Branch, said, "Bai Yifei, if you join my Changhe Branch, we will find a spiritual beast for you to refine into your mount, how about it?"
The four major divisions all invited Bai Yifei.
Bai Yifei was full of himself.
Countless students looked at Bai Yifei with incomparable envy.
"Hmph, don't you four intend to break the academy's rules?" A cold snort came from the depths of the academy.
Then, an old man appeared in the arena without anyone knowing how.
The four deputy directors hurriedly stood up, "Deputy General Director."
This old man was named "Wang Lin," one of the two deputy general directors of the academy, second only to the general director.
"Hmm."
Wang Lin nodded and said, "For joining the Inner Academy, the rules of passing all three rounds of assessments cannot be changed. Now continue with the test."
Although Bai Yifei couldn't join the Inner Academy in advance, the four deputy directors' invitations were enough to demonstrate his talent.
Bai Yifei walked down the arena with a face full of pride.
At this moment, Lin Feng arrived on the arena.
Bai Yifei looked at Lin Feng with contempt, "Ha ha, kid, did you see? My strength has reached five thousand pounds. How can you imagine the strength of my physical body? You, a child from a small family, even if your talent isn't bad, can your physical body compare with mine? Even without your body's problems, you're worlds apart from me; let alone now? Compared to me, you're like the light of a firefly trying to compete with the brilliance of the moon; you're biting off more than you can chew."
"Five thousand pounds of physical body power? Is that strong?"
Lin Feng's lips curled into a mocking smirk.
He took a deep breath.
The Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique activated.
An explosive punch.
Boom.
Lin Feng's punch slammed onto the Strength Testing Stone.
Swish...
Streaks of light soared into the sky.
A full nine beams of light flickered across the sky.
Nine stars shimmered.
The strength of the punch reached nine thousand pounds.
"This is impossible!"
Bai Yifei shouted in disbelief.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? Isn't he a cripple now? How did he become so monstrous?"
At his side, Su Yuexi's eyes widened; she couldn't believe that everything she saw was true. The reason Su Yuexi betrayed Lin Feng and threw herself into Bai Yifei's arms was because of Bai Yifei's talent.
Bai Yifei's future was destined to become a strong one.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng was a complete waste.
But reality was so cruel.
Bai Yifei's much-vaunted talent now seemed so ridiculous and worthless in front of Lin Feng.
For the first time, a deep sense of regret arose in Su Yuexi's heart.
"Nine thousand pounds of strength!"
Everyone shouted in shock.
Including the four deputy directors and the deputy general director also lost their composure and shouted.
Countless eyes, filled with incredible shock and disbelief, all turned to the arena, focusing on the snow-like white-clad, delicate young man.
