The next morning, as the sun had just risen, Fang Yang and Gu Yue appeared on the training ground on time to participate in the training.
"Yo, isn't this our Fang Yang and Gu Yue?" Xie Xie crossed his arms, a smile playing on his lips, and deliberately drew out his words, "Did you have fun on your date? Why didn't you stay a few more days?"
Gu Yue gave him a cold glance, a dangerous glint flashing in her black eyes: "Xie Xie, it seems you want to spar with me?"
Xie Xie immediately shivered, quickly waved his hands, and took two steps back: "No, no, no, I was just joking!"
He secretly peeked at Fang Yang, who was standing beside Gu Yue, and muttered to himself, "Even if I could beat Gu Yue, this protective guy wouldn't let me off..."
"Alright, everyone quiet down, Teacher Wu is here!" Tang Wulin suddenly reminded in a low voice.
His voice wasn't loud, but it made everyone in Fifth Class immediately put away their playful expressions and quickly lined up.
A tall, slender blue figure could be seen slowly approaching from a distance.
Wu Changkong's characteristic ice-blue long hair gently swayed in the breeze, and his stern face showed no emotion.
After he stopped, his gaze swept over the Fifth Class students, his voice cold and clear: "Today's training plan has changed. Everyone else continues physical training. If I find anyone slacking off when I return..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning of the threat was already self-evident.
"Fang Yang, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, step forward."
Wu Changkong gave a brief command.
"You, follow me."
The four exchanged puzzled glances but still quickly followed Wu Changkong's pace.
The Fifth Class students who remained in place immediately began running training on their own, no one daring to be the slightest bit negligent.
They had all experienced Teacher Wu's methods of punishment.
Wu Changkong led Fang Yang and the other three through the campus to a tall building.
After strict access control verification, they took the elevator to the second floor.
The corridor was so quiet that footsteps could be heard, and the Soul Guide lamps embedded in the walls emitted a soft light.
"Teacher Wu, why are we here?" Tang Wulin couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"To test your mental force."
Wu Changkong answered without looking back, his voice still indifferent.
Finally, the five of them entered a fifty-square-meter testing room.
The entire room's walls were covered with silver metal plates, densely engraved with Soul Guide runes, emitting a faint purple glow.
In the center of the testing room were several futuristic-looking large instruments, with precise structures and flashing indicator lights.
Just from their appearance, these instruments were definitely valuable.
Everyone had tested their mental force before, so they naturally recognized this kind of instrument.
"Now, test in order. Xie Xie, you first." Wu Changkong's gaze swept over the four.
Xie Xie sat on the testing chair somewhat nervously.
As Wu Changkong pressed a button, a silver helmet slowly descended, completely covering his head.
On the screen next to it, a white light column began to rise, and the scale numbers next to it kept jumping: "10...15...20..."
Finally, the number stopped at 29 points.
"Not bad, Xie Xie. Try to Breakthrough 30 points and reach the Ling Yuan Realm Middle Stage before the class promotion competition."
Wu Changkong reluctantly encouraged.
"Okay, Teacher Wu!" Xie Xie breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside.
Next was Tang Wulin, and a hint of expectation flashed in Wu Changkong's eyes.
Tang Wulin also sat on the testing chair.
A silver helmet slowly descended, completely covering his head.
After the test began, the numbers on the screen rapidly climbed: "15...30...60..."
Finally, it slowly stopped at 80 points.
Tang Wulin's mental force was even higher than Xie Xie's, reaching so much, already at the Ling Yuan Realm Late Stage.
It wasn't far from the Ling Tong Realm.
"Very good, Tang Wulin, you have reached the Ling Yuan Realm Late Stage. Continue to work hard to Breakthrough the Ling Tong Realm."
Wu Changkong rarely showed a hint of approval.
He thought to himself, "As expected of someone I, Wu Changkong, value. Not bad."
"Fang Yang, you come."
Wu Changkong turned to the next tester, Fang Yang.
"Yes, Teacher Wu."
Fang Yang calmly sat on the testing chair.
As Wu Changkong pressed the button again, a silver helmet slowly descended, completely covering his head.
The numbers on the screen next to it soared at an astonishing speed: "101...360...480..."
Finally, it broke through the 500 mark, successfully reaching the Ling Hai Realm!
"What? Ling Hai Realm?!"
Xie Xie's eyes widened, staring at Fang Yang like he was a monster, "Haji Yang, you..."
Tang Wulin was also shocked: "No wonder Fang Yang dared to Fuse a black ten-thousand-year spirit ring..."
A hint of surprise also flashed in Gu Yue's beautiful eyes, and she thought to herself, "As the Golden Dragon King, Fang Yang's mental force is also so powerful..."
Wu Changkong remained outwardly calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
This result confirmed his guess; Fang Yang would only dare to Fuse a black ten-thousand-year Soul Spirit if he had Ling Hai Realm mental force.
Looking at this exceptionally talented student, a plan gradually formed in his mind: "Such a Genius must be brought into the Tang Sect or Shrek Academy."
"Gu Yue, last one." Wu Changkong collected his thoughts, signaling for the test to continue.
Gu Yue calmly sat on the testing chair.
With another press of the button, a silver helmet slowly descended, completely covering Gu Yue's head.
Under everyone's gaze, the numbers on the screen rapidly climbed: "101...400...480..."
Finally, it also reached the standard of the Ling Hai Realm.
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were both stunned...
Fang Yang looked at Gu Yue's test results, a smile appearing on his lips, and thought to himself, "As expected of my wife, she's amazing."
Of course, he also knew very well that this amount of mental force was effortless for the Silver Dragon King, with no pressure at all.
He expressed that he wanted to rely on the Silver Dragon King and didn't want to work hard anymore!
Wu Changkong truly couldn't hide his surprise this time.
Although Gu Yue's control over elements already showed her extraordinary mental force, he hadn't expected her to be able to rival Fang Yang.
A thought flashed through his mind: "Are all elemental Spirit so Heaven-Defying?"
"Very good, all of your test results exceeded my expectations."
Wu Changkong rarely took a deep breath, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
His gaze swept over the four of them one by one, finally resting on Fang Yang and Gu Yue.
"Next, we need to make special preparations for the class promotion competition." Wu Changkong's voice was still cold.
Fang Yang and Gu Yue exchanged a knowing glance, their eyes meeting in the air, understanding each other's thoughts without words.
This left Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who were standing by, completely dumbfounded.
"No way?"
Xie Xie exaggeratedly rubbed his eyes and whispered to Tang Wulin, "Are they not even pretending anymore?"
Tang Wulin smiled bitterly and shook his head, also responding quietly: "It seems our class has two monsters..."
Xie Xie exaggeratedly clutched his chest, making a pained expression: "Is this even fair? One Fang Yang is enough of a blow, and now even Gu Yue..."
