Wu Changkong's gaze, sharp as a sword, fell upon Fang Yang, a hint of curiosity flashing in his emerald eyes.
Fang Yang seemed to harbor too many secrets, arousing even his aloof teacher's intense interest.
As for Gu Yue, the power she had just displayed truly exceeded everyone's expectations!
The testing room was silent, all eyes fixed on Fang Yang.
Tang Wulin unconsciously clenched his fists, and Xie Xie instinctively swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Zhang Yangzi's eyes flickered with complex, unreadable light, and even the usually taciturn Wang Jinxi couldn't help but hold his breath.
Fang Yang stood composedly before the strength testing instrument, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He slowly raised his arms, his fingers slightly curling into fists.
This seemingly casual movement made the surrounding air feel as if it had frozen, and a heart-palpitating sense of oppression permeated the room.
"Bang!"
A deafening roar erupted in the testing room.
Fang Yang's left fist slammed into the testing instrument, the numbers on the display screen wildly fluctuating before finally settling on a staggering figure—one hundred and eight thousand jin!
This number caused Zhang Yangzi's legs to go weak, and he directly slumped to the ground. Xie Xie's mouth hung open, his jaw almost dropping to the floor.
Tang Wulin's pupils contracted violently, his face filled with disbelief.
Before anyone could recover from their shock, Fang Yang's right fist, accompanied by the sound of air being torn, struck again.
"Bang!"
After the second thunderous impact, the number on the display screen once again settled at one hundred and eight thousand jin!
"This... how is this possible, one hundred and eight thousand jin with both arms?" Zhang Yangzi's voice trembled.
One should know that, according to legend, the Divine Artifact Sea God Trident of Ancestor Tang San also weighed exactly one hundred and eight thousand jin!
Half-step Blood Moving Realm Tang San: "Are you insulting me?"
The entire testing room fell into an eerie silence.
Wu Changkong's usually stern face also rarely showed a look of shock, and an incredible light flickered in his emerald eyes.
Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi exchanged glances, their minds blank.
One hundred and eight thousand jin of pure physical strength, and that was without even activating his Spirit. Was this Fang Yang truly still human?
He was clearly an ancient Vicious Beast in human skin!
Only Gu Yue remained as usual, in her opinion, as the Golden Dragon King, it was only natural for Fang Yang to possess such terrifying power.
She slightly raised her delicate chin, a glimmer of pride flashing in her black eyes.
"Teacher Wu?" Fang Yang's voice broke the silence.
Wu Changkong then recovered, lightly coughing to cover his lapse: "Very... good."
His voice rarely carried a hint of fluctuation.
Xie Xie secretly thought to himself: "Alright, alright, you're all monsters, I'm the only normal one."
However, on second thought, at least there were still Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, these two 'Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Fledgling,' at the bottom.
Xie Xie's mood immediately balanced out considerably.
Zhang Yangzi: "Are you insulting me?"
"Alright, today's test ends here."
Wu Changkong quickly regained his usual composure, "Data doesn't represent everything, and Spirit is equally important to a Spirit Master. So, some students don't need to be discouraged."
His gaze specifically swept over Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, who then came to their senses as if waking from a dream, but the shock in their eyes had not yet faded.
As for Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie, Wu Changkong was not worried.
Gu Yue and Tang Wulin's strength was already formidable, and Xie Xie was already used to being hit.
What he was more concerned about now was how to comfort these two new students and prevent them from being overly disappointed and affecting their subsequent Cultivation.
"Yes."
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi responded.
Wu Changkong continued: "You are dismissed now. Fang Yang, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, please stay."
"Yes."
The four of them, Fang Yang, responded in unison.
Wu Changkong's gaze turned to Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi: "Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, you two go back and adjust your mindset first."
"Okay, Teacher Wu!"
The two responded and left the classroom, their backs looking a bit lonely.
On the other side, Wu Changkong led Fang Yang and the other three to a special room.
The room was surrounded by soundproofing devices to ensure that the conversation would not be overheard by outsiders.
After everyone entered, Wu Changkong went straight to the point: "Fang Yang, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, your talents are all outstanding. On behalf of the organization, I formally invite you to join!"
Xie Xie frowned slightly: "Teacher Wu, what kind of organization is this?"
As a member of a prominent Family, he could not easily join an organization of unknown origin.
Wu Changkong's expression was serious: "Have you ever heard of the Tang Sect?"
"Tang Sect?"
Hearing these two words, except for Fang Yang and Gu Yue, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie's bodies trembled.
Tang Sect! How could they not have heard of it?
On the Douluo Continent, there were probably very few people who didn't know about the Tang Sect. The legend of the Tang Sect has continued from ancient times to the present.
It could be said that several of the most significant historical events on the Douluo Continent were related to the Tang Sect.
The founder of the Tang Sect was an existence who once guarded the continent twenty thousand years ago, a figure rumored to have become a God!
Shrek Academy also began to grow strong from that time, and the founder of the Tang Sect was the leader of the first generation Shrek Seven Devils.
It was because of him that Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect achieved their later glory, and that so many legendary stories have been passed down through the ages.
Legend has it that Tang San inherited the position of Sea God, wielding the Sea God Trident, and achieved Ascension to become a God!
The Tang Sect once fell into decline in ancient times, almost perishing, but later, with the advancement of spirit tools.
Another brilliant and talented legendary figure rose in ancient times—Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao.
He single-handedly founded the Spirit Transfer Pagoda organization, created the Soul Spirit system, and completely changed the landscape of the current Spirit Master's world.
When Wu Changkong uttered the words "Tang Sect," Tang Wulin and Xie Xie both showed expressions of disbelief.
"That's right, I am from the Tang Sect."
Wu Changkong directly confirmed their猜测: "Are you willing to join the Tang Sect?"
Tang Wulin looked at Fang Yang, his eyes filled with anticipation: "Fang Yang, let's join the Tang Sect together."
Xie Xie also quickly echoed: "That's right, Fang Yang, let's grow strong together in the Tang Sect and create new glory!"
Wu Changkong's face immediately darkened upon hearing this.
Fang Yang was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Wu Lin, have you forgotten? I have already joined the Spirit Transfer Pagoda."
Tang Wulin then realized, a hint of disappointment flashing across his face.
Xie Xie's eyes darted around, and he suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Wu Lin, why don't we both join the Spirit Transfer Pagoda! Since Fang Yang is in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, he will definitely protect us."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Changkong delivered a sharp rap to Xie Xie's head, his face terribly gloomy.
Xie Xie then realized he had said the wrong thing, and rubbing his head, he chuckled awkwardly: "Haha, Teacher Wu, I was just joking."
"Fang Yang, how about I..." Tang Wulin hesitated.
Fang Yang interrupted him: "Wu Lin, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda is not suitable for you. Your Spirit will receive the best Cultivation in the Tang Sect."
He patted Tang Wulin's shoulder, his tone firm.
Tang Wulin was silent for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay, I understand."
"Aren't you going to accompany Wu Lin?" Fang Yang looked at Xie Xie again.
Xie Xie immediately understood, nodding repeatedly: "Go, go, go!"
Finally, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie solemnly said to Wu Changkong: "Teacher Wu, we are willing to join the Tang Sect."
