Wu Changkong led Fang Yang and the others to a high-tech testing room.
The entire room's four walls were covered with silver-white special metal, gleaming with a cold luster under the lights, making one feel as if they were in a World crafted from pure silver.
Various precise instruments were neatly arranged in the center of the room, flickering with faint blue indicator lights.
"First, we'll conduct a mental force test."
Wu Changkong held a record sheet, his gaze calmly sweeping over everyone. "Xie Xie, you're first."
"Ah? It's me leading the charge again..."
Xie Xie pouted, muttering softly, and reluctantly walked quickly towards the testing instrument.
As the instrument started, the data quickly displayed on the screen: "mental force 40 points, an increase of 10 points from last time."
This score was considered normal among ordinary Spirit Masters, but in the Zero Class, full of Geniuses, it seemed somewhat mediocre.
Xie Xie scratched his head and stepped aside, his face full of helplessness.
Wu Changkong continued to call names expressionlessly: "Wang Jinxi."
Wang Jinxi silently walked to the testing instrument, and a moment later, the result appeared: his mental force was only 18 points.
Wu Changkong frowned slightly: "Wang Jinxi, your mental force must be improved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to fuse with higher-grade Soul Spirits in the future."
Compared to the era twenty thousand years ago, the living environment of Spirit Masters today has undergone earth-shattering changes.
The primary method for Spirit Masters to obtain spirit rings is through the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's artificial Soul Spirits, and to fuse with more powerful Soul Spirits, mental force has become one of the most important tests.
This is also why some Families have always found it difficult to Cultivate top-tier Spirit Masters. The strength of mental force directly determines a Spirit Master's upper limit.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jinxi just nodded silently, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.
Next was Zhang Yangzi. When the testing instrument displayed a value of 41 points, a hint of pride flashed across his face: "Teacher Wu, not bad, right?"
"Not bad. Strive to Break through to the Ling Yuan Realm within a year."
Wu Changkong's evaluation was brief.
The test proceeded quickly, and soon it was Tang Wulin's turn.
Just then, the testing instrument suddenly emitted a "beep-beep" sound, and the numbers on the display made everyone hold their breath: "101 points, Ling Tong Realm!"
"This... how is this possible?"
Zhang Yangzi's eyes widened, looking at the test results in disbelief.
Wang Jinxi also rarely showed a look of shock, and both of them looked at Tang Wulin, who possessed the Blue Silver Grass Spirit, in unison.
"Is this really Blue Silver Grass?"
Seeing this number, Xie Xie, as a good friend, was equally dumbfounded.
His mind was racing: "Did Tang Wulin eat some Immortal Herb? How did his mental force increase so much?
"When I first met him, his spirit power was not as good as mine, but now not only has his spirit power surpassed mine, but his mental force is also getting higher and higher."
Xie Xie even began to doubt his life: "Is my twin spirits fake? Why am I always at the bottom of every test?"
A hint of approval flashed in Wu Changkong's eyes, but he quickly returned to calm: "Fang Yang, it's your turn."
With these words, everyone's gaze focused on Fang Yang.
Especially the newcomers, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, their eyes gleamed with complex light.
They really wanted to know, just how powerful was this Fang Yang, who could easily block their Soul Fusion Skill in the promotion match?
"Yes, Teacher Wu."
Fang Yang calmly stepped forward, walking towards the testing instrument.
Just then, the numbers on the display screen soared at an astonishing speed: "280... 480... 500..."
It finally settled at 550 points.
For Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue, who had already witnessed Fang Yang's strength, this result was not unexpected.
Xie Xie even muttered softly: "You'll get used to it!"
But Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi were already dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.
"550 points? Ling Hai Realm? This... how is this possible!?"
Zhang Yangzi cried out in a lost voice.
His heart was filled with shock: "Fang Yang actually reached the Ling Hai Realm."
That was truly terrifying!
mental force at the Ling Hai Realm level could support a Spirit Master to continuously Cultivate up to the six-ring, or even seven-ring Realm, which is a necessary path to becoming a powerful Spirit Master.
No wonder he and Wang Jinxi, even using their Soul Fusion Skill, were blocked by Fang Yang; this monster was truly terrifying.
"Gu Yue, it's your turn." Wu Changkong's voice rarely carried a hint of anticipation.
Gu Yue lightly walked to the testing instrument, and a moment later, an even more astonishing value appeared on the display screen—580 points!
This result plunged the entire testing room into a brief silence.
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi exchanged glances, both seeing deep shock in each other's eyes.
Only then did they realize that the strength Fang Yang and the other three had shown in the previous promotion match might have been just the tip of the iceberg.
"Fang Yang, Gu Yue."
Wu Changkong said with a serious expression, "Your mental force is improving too quickly, which is not a good thing. In the future, I will strengthen your training in mental force control to ensure your perfect command over it."
"Understood, Teacher Wu." Fang Yang and Gu Yue responded simultaneously.
However, a hint of doubt arose in Gu Yue's heart: "Is this Golden Dragon King, Fang Yang, really reasonable?"
For Fang Yang, this was only natural.
Without strong mental force support, how could he control the Xuan Huang Flame? Let alone unleash a powerful Spirit Ability like the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus!
"Alright, next, we'll test strength." Wu Changkong led everyone to another instrument.
This was a strength testing instrument, capable of precisely measuring the impact force of a punch.
"Gu Yue, you go first this time."
What was astonishing was that, compared to her powerful mental force, Gu Yue also displayed astonishing physical strength.
Left punch: one hundred fifteen kilograms, right punch: one hundred forty-three kilograms.
"I, I'll be damned..." Zhang Yangzi staggered back, almost falling.
Xie Xie also involuntarily swallowed, it was the first time he knew Gu Yue possessed such terrifying strength.
Gu Yue turned her head, giving Xie Xie a cold glance, her eyebrows slightly raised.
Zhang Yangzi and Xie Xie almost simultaneously burst into tears, wailing in their hearts: "Can't you give us a break? Is this a girl? This is practically a female Dragon!"
Next were Zhang Yangzi's test results: Left punch: sixty-one kilograms, right punch: sixty-nine kilograms.
This data was decent for a two-ring agility-attack system Spirit Master, but after witnessing Gu Yue's performance, Zhang Yangzi only felt deep frustration.
When Xie Xie stepped onto the testing platform, the Physique bonus effect brought by his twin spirits immediately became apparent.
Left punch: one hundred fifty-three kilograms, right punch: one hundred sixty-four kilograms.
Xie Xie wiped away non-existent sweat, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
As an agility-attack system Spirit Master, being able to possess such strength was precisely the key to his suppression of Wei Xiaofeng in the promotion match.
"Next, Wang Jinxi!"
The slender Wang Jinxi walked to the strength testing instrument.
Left punch: four hundred twenty-three kilograms, right punch: four hundred sixty-eight kilograms.
This data surpassed the normal level of a two-ring attack system Battle Spirit Master, with his arm strength approaching one thousand kilograms.
"Good!" Zhang Yangzi shouted, venting his inner frustration.
Wang Jinxi was also very satisfied with his results.
"Tang Wulin, you're up!"
Tang Wulin came to the strength testing instrument.
Left punch: five hundred eighty-one kilograms, right punch: six hundred eleven kilograms.
Although he did not have the innate divine force brought by the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, with his twin spirits and Clear Sky Hammer, his strength was still not to be underestimated.
"Fang Yang, it's your turn again."
Fang Yang, who had undergone Physical Body tempering by the Xuan Huang Flame and Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, possessed unfathomable physical strength...
