Zhi Lin understood Ye Tianming's meaning, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.
He slowly raised his hand, and a powerful spirit power fluctuation rippled through the air, settling on Dragon Chen.
Though this power showed no aggression, it carried an undeniable sense of oppression, like an invisible mountain, heavily pressing down on Dragon Chen's heart.
Dragon Chen immediately felt unable to move.
"Long Chen, I will now test you with spirit power. You don't need to be nervous; just show your true strength."
Zhi Lin's voice was gentle yet firm, with a hint of a test in his words.
Dragon Chen didn't speak, just nodded, his gaze growing firmer.
He also wanted to know how strong his current pressure resistance truly was.
Under that pressure, Dragon Chen activated the spirit power within his body.
A warm and powerful energy flowed through his entire body, as if an invisible armor had enveloped him, resisting the external pressure.
Zhi Lin immediately sensed that Dragon Chen's spirit power had indeed reached level thirty-two.
As Zhi Lin gradually increased his spirit power output, the oppressive feeling also intensified.
Gradually, the pressure he exerted on Dragon Chen had reached the level of forty-level spirit power.
Forty-level spirit power, for a War Spirit Grand Master, was already an unbearable weight.
But, Dragon Chen's face showed no trace of pain.
His body trembled slightly, but not from pain.
Instead, under this pressure, the spirit power within him was stimulated to be more active, as if engaging in a silent contest with the external pressure.
Seeing this, Zhi Lin couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
He knew that Dragon Chen's Spirit was the Dark Night Magic Lyre, and he was a control system Spirit Master.
He hadn't expected this young control system Spirit Master to possess such powerful pressure resistance.
Zhi Lin continued to increase the intensity; his spirit power had reached a strength that only a fifty-level Spirit Master could withstand.
Under such pressure, even a young Spirit Master with extraordinary talent would find it difficult.
However, Dragon Chen still gritted his teeth and persisted; there was no hint of retreat in his eyes, only a yearning for challenge and an unyielding will.
Taking whale gum made his body extremely tough.
Having lived two lives, how could his will be compared to that of an ordinary person?
Finally, Zhi Lin withdrew his spirit power, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
"What a resilient young fellow! Your spirit power's purity and your will's steadfastness are truly rare. I retract my previous doubts; you indeed possess the qualifications to become a Heaven Dou Level student, and even the potential to surpass this level."
Dragon Chen breathed a sigh of relief, his expression calm.
"Thank you for the test, teacher."
Dream Machine and Bai Baoshan, who had witnessed the entire process from the side, also nodded, expressing their admiration for Dragon Chen.
Dream Machine patted Dragon Chen's shoulder and said earnestly:
"Long Chen, you possess extraordinary potential and a tenacious will. I believe that in the near future, you will surely shine brightly in the Spirit Master's world and bring glory to the Royal Academy."
Before Dragon Chen came to see the three committee members, Liu Zhicheng had already told them that Dragon Chen's Spirit was the mutated Darknight Demon Lyre.
Dream Machine's Spirit was the Black Demon, possessing dark attributes, but it had not evolved into an evil attribute.
He didn't care that Dragon Chen had the Darknight Demon Lyre with its powerful evil attributes.
He believed that with proper guidance, Spirit Masters born with evil attribute Spirits could also walk the righteous path.
Seeing the attitude of the three committee members towards Dragon Chen, Ye Tianming's heart was filled with relief.
He knew that sending Dragon Chen to Heaven Dou Royal Academy was the right choice.
Here, Dragon Chen would have the opportunity to receive better training and development.
Subsequently, led by Liu Zhicheng, Dragon Chen and Ye Tianming bid farewell to the three committee members and headed to the male dormitory.
Dragon Chen was now a Heaven Dou Level student.
There were fewer Heaven Dou Level students in the academy, and they enjoyed the privilege of a single dormitory.
With the arrangements made by the academy staff, Dragon Chen had his own luxurious single room.
After a quick tidying up, he and Ye Tianming went to the training ground to find Ye Lingling.
Seeing the two of them, Ye Lingling was very happy and greeted them with joy.
"Dad, Brother Chen, why are you here?"
Ye Tianming smiled.
"Lingling, you've grown quite a bit! Dad has good news for you."
"What good news? Is Brother Chen coming to our academy?"
Ye Tianming nodded.
"From today onwards, Long Chen is also a member of the Royal Academy."
"Really?"
Ye Lingling stared straight at Dragon Chen.
Dragon Chen was momentarily stunned.
Unbeknownst to him, Ye Lingling had changed; she was no longer the little girl she once was.
She had transformed into a graceful young maiden.
Her bright, clear eyes sparkled with surprise and disbelief, like brilliant stars in the night sky, reflecting the surging joy in her heart.
A faint blush appeared on her cheeks, adding a touch of maidenly shyness and innocence.
As her lips involuntarily curved upwards, two shallow dimples appeared faintly on her face, making her even sweeter and more charming.
She stepped forward lightly, her movements carrying the unique grace and vivacity of a young girl, her soft, long hair swaying gently with her movements, exuding a faint fragrance.
Her voice, also slightly crisp from excitement, was pleasant to the ear.
"Brother Chen, you're really here! Now we can go to school together!"
Dragon Chen smiled and nodded.
"That's great! So you've already broken through level thirty?"
"Yes, Uncle Ye and I just obtained the third spirit ring in Star Dou Forest. My spirit power is now level thirty-two."
"Level thirty-two?"
Ye Lingling's eyes widened.
"Brother Chen, you're amazing! As soon as you entered the academy, you became a Heaven Dou Level student."
The three walked and chatted.
Ye Lingling told Ye Tianming about her recent situation.
After dinner, Dragon Chen and Ye Lingling walked Ye Tianming to the academy gate.
"Alright, you two go back now. Study hard at the academy, take care of yourselves. I'll come to see you again in a while."
"Okay, we understand. Uncle Ye, don't worry, I'll take good care of Lingling."
The two watched Ye Tianming leave before turning to re-enter the academy.
As they ascended the stone steps leading to the main campus, they walked and talked.
Ye Lingling was in a very good mood; she had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
"Brother Chen, every time you and Dad came to see me before, I would secretly watch you leave from this path. This time, with you by my side, I'm no longer lonely."
"Lingling, I will always be with you from now on."
"Brother Chen, you're already a Heaven Dou Level student, while I'm still Heaven Hui Level. Our levels are different, so we can't cultivate together."
Dragon Chen smiled.
"Lingling, we can cultivate together. Isn't the academy about to form a new school team? As long as we both join the school team, it'll be fine."
