Under the gazes of the crowd, Luo Shuihan walked to the front of the Divine Testing Stone and stretched out a slender jade hand, pressing it on the surface of the Divine Testing Stone.
“Wow!”
Instantly, a circle of light patterns emerged, emitting increasingly bright light, finally reaching twenty-six circles.
The trainees below, almost all of them were petrified and stunned.
“At only seventeen years old, spiritual power has reached the twenty-sixth rank.” Even though Elder Yue Jingchan had long been mentally prepared, he was still stunned.
He had specialised in spiritual power for eighty years and had only reached the thirty-ninth rank by now, and he could barely find a few people in the thirty-six counties of the Heavenly Demon Ridge who were stronger than him.
“The young trainees nowadays are stronger than one generation to the next, we’re all getting old.” Vice Academy Master Qing Hua sighed.
Duanmu Xingling looked a little unhappy, staring at Luo Shuihan and whispering, “Pervert.”
Originally, her and Huang Yichen’s spiritual power were both above the twentieth rank, which was considered quite excellent, but when compared to Luo Shuihan, they were instantly a far cry from each other.
The three female devils’ natural talent was indeed significantly higher than all the others by a large margin, and moreover, all of them had become the number one freshmen before the age of sixteen. Huang Yichen was sixteen, Duanmu Xingling was fifteen, and Luo Shuihan was thirteen.
Zhang Ruochen’s heart stirred as he seemed to understand something.
Wasn’t he precisely the one who became the number one freshman at the age of sixteen, and that was why he was accepted by them as the number one Yellow Character of the Dragon Martial Hall. It should be this reason.
Everyone’s gazes looked towards Zhang Ruochen, who was now the only one left who had yet to undergo the testing of the God Measuring Stone.
Prince Huo Xing glanced towards Zhang Ruochen and laughed, “Wasn’t there someone who let slip earlier that his spiritual power had reached the twenty-fifth rank, why hasn’t he gone to get tested?”
Xue Ling snorted coldly and said, “You actually believe his boastful words? Do you think that his natural talent can match that of Senior Sister Luo?”
Prince Huo Xing laughed, “That’s not necessarily true, the Ninth Prince is a heavenly prodigy, I’m sure his spiritual power is far beyond the crowd, it’s definitely above the twenty-fifth rank.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t bother to pay attention to these people’s cynicism and directly walked over towards the Divine Measuring Stone, pressing his palm onto the surface of the stone.
At this moment, everyone’s gazes all stared towards the God Testing Stone.
Although everyone didn’t believe that his mental power could reach the twenty-fifth rank, but if he was able to comprehend the high rank realm of Sword Follows Heart, his mental power was definitely not low, and it was estimated to be able to reach around the twentieth rank. This was the crowd’s highest evaluation of Zhang Ruochen.
“Wow!”
The light patterns on the surface of the Divine Measuring Stone lit up.
One circle, two circles, three circles …… ten circles, eleven circles …… eighteen circles, nineteen circles, twenty circles ……
When the light patterns on the God Testing Stone reached twenty circles, Prince Huo Xing, Xue Ling, and Yuchi Tiancong’s faces all turned pale, unable to believe their eyes.
The light patterns on top of the God Measuring Stone didn’t disappear and continued to grow.
Twenty one circles, twenty two circles, twenty three circles, twenty four circles ……
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to make a spectacle of himself, if his spiritual power surpassed Luo Shuihan, he didn’t know how much trouble he would get into. Since this was the case, it would be better to take it as it came.
When the light pattern on top of the God Measuring Stone reached twenty-five circles, Zhang Ruochen immediately withdrew his palms, and then, he headed downwards.
“It’s actually …… actually reached the twenty-fifth rank.” Huang Yichen pursed her red lips tightly, and the light in her eyes that stared at Zhang Ruochen became quite complicated.
“Surprisingly, he’s as perverted as Luo Shuihan, damn it, too damn it!” When Duanmu Xingling saw Zhang Ruochen walking past her, she quickly stepped out with her foot on Zhang Ruochen’s shoe.
How could Zhang Ruochen have expected that Duanmu Xingling would lay such a vicious foot, the back of his foot hurt, and he stared towards Duanmu Xingling with a look that seemed to say, “Sick! What are you stepping on me for?”
Duanmu Xingling clasped her hands in front of her chest, her snow-white chin slightly upturned in a pleasant manner.
“That was awesome, almost catching up to Luo Shuihan.” The Qing Hua Vice Academy Master stared at Zhang Ruochen, feeling quite incredulous, and secretly thought in his heart that he must focus on cultivating Zhang Ruochen in the future.
The Qing Hua Vice Academy Master laughed, “Elder Yue Jingchan, Zhang Ruochen and Luo Shuihan’s attainments in spiritual power can be ranked in the top ten in the history of the Heavenly Demon Ridge Martial City Academy, right?”
Elder Yue Jingchan nodded and laughed, “Luo Shuihan’s attainments in spiritual power is enough to be ranked third amongst all the geniuses in the history of the Heavenly Demon Ridge Martial City Academic Palace, and Zhang Ruochen is able to be ranked fourth.”
Duanmu Xingling asked, “Who was the first genius in spiritual power in the history of the Heavenly Demon Ridge Martial City School Palace? And who was the second?”
Elder Yue Jingchan said, “The cadet who ranked first, at the age of sixteen, his spiritual power reached the twenty-eighth rank. However, he is a refiner who majors in spiritual power, and naturally, the strength of his spiritual power is not comparable to a martial artist who majors in martial arts.”
“The one cadet ranked second is Senior Luo Xu. When he was sixteen years old, his spiritual strength reached the twenty-seventh rank, which is number one amongst martial dao cultivators, and no one has been able to surpass it so far.”
Just when everyone was still shocked by the strength of Zhang Ruochen and Luo Shuihan’s spiritual power, Luo Shuihan uttered a sentence that caused a stone to stir up a thousand waves.
Luo Shuihan’s gaze fixed on Zhang Ruochen and said, “Senior brother, you didn’t use your full strength, twenty-five steps, not your true strength.”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart was slightly surprised that she had actually seen it?
“Twenty-five steps of spiritual power, and it’s still not his true strength?” Huang Yichen was a bit incredulous, in her opinion, spiritual strength reaching twenty-fifth rank was already quite exaggerated.
Could it be that Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual strength was more than twenty-five steps?
Being dismantled in front of him, Zhang Ruochen was also a bit embarrassed and laughed, “Senior Sister Luo really is as discerning as a torch, I can’t hide it from you. I do have some reservations, but, not many, didn’t have to show them.”
Luo Shuihan faintly said, “Are you afraid of overshadowing me? You don’t have to worry about it, if your natural talent is really high, I would admire you even more instead.”
Hearing Luo Shuihan say the word “admire”, even the Qing Hua Vice Academy Master was slightly startled and kept making eyes at Zhang Ruochen.
No one was more aware of Luo Shuihan’s status than the Qing Hua Vice Academy Master, if Zhang Ruochen was really able to display outstanding talent and gained Luo Shuihan’s appreciation. As long as Luo Shuihan’s words were spoken, Zhang Ruochen’s future would definitely be straight.
Vice Academy Master Qing Hua said seriously, ”Zhang Ruochen, since you have natural talent, you should show it. The Martial City Academy is a place for you to show off your talents to the fullest, only true geniuses can receive more and better training. If you are able to surpass the first genius of spiritual power in the history of the Heavenly Demon Ridge, I will immediately apply to the Academy Palace for ten drops of Half-Saint True Liquid for you.”
Prince Huo Xing, Yuchi Tiancong, Xue Ling and the others originally wanted to see Zhang Ruochen lose face, but by now, they felt that they were the ones jumping through hoops and losing face.
If Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power really surpassed that one first genius of spiritual power in history, he would surely be appreciated by Luo Shuihan and get the attention of the senior management of the Academy Palace, and then, he would really soar to the sky.
Ten drops of Half-Saint True Liquid was too important to Zhang Ruochen.
For the sake of the ten drops of Semi-Saint True Liquid, Zhang Ruochen once again walked to the front of the Divine Measuring Stone. As he raised his palm up, he turned around again and asked, “Vice Academy Master, can ten drops of Half-Saint True Liquid really be applied?”
Vice Academy Master Qing Hua had the urge to punch Zhang Ruochen, so he was willing to show his true spiritual strength only for ten drops of Half-Saint True Liquid, what a bast*rd boy.
The Qing Hua Vice Academy Master snorted coldly and said, “Don’t worry, as long as your natural talent is really high, the Academic Palace will definitely not treat you poorly.”
“Alright!”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and pressed his palm on top of the Divine Measuring Stone.
“Wow…”
The light patterns on top of the Divine Measuring Stone lit up once again, quickly reaching twenty circles, followed by non-stop flickering, reaching twenty-five circles.
After the twenty-five circles, the growth of the light pattern slowed down, and only after a short pause did it form the twenty-sixth circle, followed by the twenty-seventh circle ……
Zhang Ruochen naturally couldn’t possibly display his entire spiritual power, although it was said that the higher the spiritual power, the more resources he received and the better training he received, if his spiritual power truly surpassed the 30th rank, it would definitely not be a good thing for him, but rather a disaster.
This time Zhang Ruochen learnt his lesson and deliberately pretended to be very strenuous, making his head sweat and body tremble. Finally, the light patterns on the Divine Measuring Stone reached twenty-nine circles.
“Whew!”
Zhang Ruochen retracted his arm, exhaled a long breath, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and bowed to Vice Academy Master Qing Hua and Elder Yue Jingchan, saying, “The student has tried his best, and was only able to reach the twenty-nine steps.”
When Zhang Ruochen raised his head, he realised that the Qing Hua Vice Academy Master and Elder Yue Jing Chan were both staring at him as if they were petrified, motionless as if they had turned into statues.
Zhang Ruochen then looked towards those trainees below, and those trainees’ expressions were even more exaggerated than those of the Qing Hua Vice Academy Master and Elder Yue Jing Chan, simply looking at him as if they were looking at monsters.
Damn!
Zhang Ruochen’s heart screamed that it was not good, for ten drops of Half-Saint True Liquid, he had pitched himself in!
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen saw a pair of calm gazes, and the owner of those gazes was none other than Luo Shuihan. Luo Shuihan nodded at Zhang Ruochen, showing a very appreciative look.
After a long time, Elder Yue Jingchan was the first to react from his shock and said, “Good! The Western Academy has produced a heaven-defying little fellow, it seems that the quality of this year’s freshmen, the Western Academy should be ranked first instead of second. Haha!”
Elder Qing Hua was also filled with redness and great relief, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, don’t worry, the ten drops of Semi-Sacred True Liquid will definitely be applied down for you.”
Prince Huo Xing’s face wore a crazed look of jealousy, in front of Zhang Ruochen, he simply looked like a complete mediocrity.
“What the hell is wrong with those killers from the Hellmouth Sect, why haven’t they killed him yet?” Prince Huo Xing clenched his teeth, as long as he saw Zhang Ruochen, his heart was very irritated.
Vice Academy Master Qing Hua said, “A lot of time has been wasted on testing the spiritual power, so now everyone can enter the Divine Power Hall to cultivate. Remember, you only have one hour, so be sure to treasure it.”
Next, the twelve genius trainees entered the Divine Force Hall one after another.
For the four new students, the cultivation in the Divine Force Hall was full of mystery and unknowns.
