"This laser is pretty fast."
Chi Xiu manipulated his body to dodge the needle-sized points of light. A mere tenth of a second was an extremely short time, with countless points of light covering the sky.
But in Chi Xiu's eyes, these points of light had slowed to a normal speed.
Since the requirement was to dodge the points of light, then touching them meant I lost.
Ten seconds later, Chi Xiu stood at the finish line.
He looked back.
The old woman, pen in one hand and paper in the other, was dumbfounded, momentarily forgetting what she was doing.
Chi Xiu didn't look at the results, his expression calm as he walked towards the waiting area after the test.
The old woman recovered, her throat bobbing, and she stretched out her trembling hand to write:
"0."
...
Observation area.
Ning Fengzhi held the ranking list, his face flushed. Xue Qinghe watched from the side, her chest heaving, her fair cheeks also covered with a blush.
This was a sign of excessive excitement.
The master and disciple exchanged a glance, their shock self-evident.
Is this brat here to crush us today?!
Are you kidding me?!
Is he here to experience the local customs and traditions of this testing ground?!
And what kind of ridiculous bet is this?!
Yu Tianheng is nothing!
The master and disciple, unusually in sync, almost simultaneously rose from their seats and ran downstairs, leaving the administrator completely bewildered.
"Quick, let's go see that kid's next test with our own eyes."
"This bet is pointless now, teacher, you won..."
...
Chi Xiu sat in the waiting area of Zixing Academy, while Ning Rongrong sat restlessly to the side. Chi Xiu wouldn't let her wander around the testing area, so she could only wait quietly for her brother to return from the test.
"How did your test go?"
Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
Chi Xiu leaned back: "I don't know, probably just so-so, it's just a formality. I just want to go back to the academy and sleep now."
"Come sleep at my place, my bed is big and soft."
Ning Rongrong looked at Chi Xiu expectantly, but found that Chi Xiu suddenly turned his attention elsewhere.
Yes, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed.
Several groups of people were rapidly approaching Purple Star Academy.
These people were all excited; several people who had never spoken before suddenly had a common topic of conversation. No one could have imagined that this common topic would revolve around a freshman from an ordinary academy.
One of the older men, leading a group, said as they walked,
"You wouldn't believe it, he punched through that counting board! I was so scared I dropped my pen. That counting board was made of an alloy by the blacksmiths' association, it's incredibly hard."
The old man responsible for recording the strength spoke with exaggerated emotion. It's understandable why he was so exaggerated; after all, he was the only one who had witnessed the entire incident firsthand.
The old woman interrupted, "His speed test involved touching the zero laser beam! Since the academy opened, at least ten thousand people have been tested. We ourselves have personally tested it to ensure the accuracy of the equipment, and back then, no one could completely dodge those thousands of laser beams!"
The old man recording the strength was stunned, looking at the old woman: "What did you say? He dodged them all?" The old woman
was excited: "I was about to ask you that! This child can punch through an alloy plate?"
"His punch was ten tons."
The old woman was stunned again: "What? Ten, ten tons…"
"Do you know how old he is?!"
Another old man suddenly squeezed in.
"What does age matter? We're having a serious discussion, why are you, the one recording ages, getting involved?"
The old woman looked at the old man recording ages with disdain, as if refusing to add him to the chat group.
"He's only six years old! Is he crazy?!"
"What are other six-year-olds doing?"
Upon hearing this, everyone walking towards the Purple Star Academy waiting area stopped in their tracks.
One of the old men took over the conversation.
"Six years old...didn't he just awaken his martial soul?"
"I was still playing in the mud when I was six."
"That guy punched through a steel plate with ten tons of force at six."
A brief silence fell over the crowd.
Then, someone suddenly saw two people approaching from the front.
"His Highness the Crown Prince and Sect Master Ning are here!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi immediately went to greet them. They were somewhat bewildered by the large group before them. The elders, who had been observing from the second-floor observation area, were equally surprised to see the First Prince and Sect Master Ning suddenly descend.
"What are you doing here?"
"We're going to see a child from Zixing Academy named Chi Xiu."
"We are too!"
...
"Boss, why is a group of people walking this way..."
Sun Dabao came to Chi Xiu's side and asked warily.
Chi Xiu shook his head, when he heard Ning Rongrong exclaim excitedly, "Daddy!"
Ning Rongrong ran towards Ning Fengzhi and happily threw herself into his arms.
Chi Xiu stood up. This was the first time he had seen Ning Fengzhi.
The person next to him... seemed to be... Qian Renxue?!
No, she was still Xue Qinghe.
Could this group of people be looking for me...? Chi Xiu guessed, after all, every single one of them was staring at him with burning eyes, as if he were a hot commodity.
But many others looked at him like he was a monster.
"Let's not disturb him, let's just watch him continue his test."
Ning Fengzhi stopped Xue Qinghe, who was about to walk towards Chi Xiu.
"Okay, then let's listen to the teacher."
"Seniors, please continue arranging the tests. We'll discuss everything after that child finishes his test."
Ning Fengzhi, holding Ning Rongrong's hand, turned to look at the elderly people beside him.
"What's the next test?"
"Physical strength."
...
Chi Xiu was somewhat bewildered. He was inexplicably surrounded by a group of elderly people with an average age of over fifty, heading towards the next test location.
Xue Qinghe used her privilege to arrange for Chi Xiu to be the first person to take the test, standing alone in front of all the students from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
This scene not only attracted the students of Purple Star Academy, but also the students and teachers of all the other academies, as well as the host, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
"Boss, what's going on over there?"
Yu Tianheng looked in the direction Dugu Yan pointed, his gaze vaguely catching sight of the masked boy being surrounded by the crowd and led to a certain place.
"Let's go see!"
At this moment, the entire first-floor hall was filled with over two thousand people—students and teachers from all eight academies—gathered around the area testing physical strength, all watching one person's test.
Xue Qinghe stood beside Chi Xiu, and from her angle, she could see his perfect jawline and flawless skin.
He seemed like a handsome young man, but why was he wearing a mask… Xue Qinghe was puzzled.
"For the physical strength test, the test subject stands at the starting line, and the Soul Douluo powerhouse opposite releases relatively gentle offensive soul power. The shorter the distance the test subject is knocked back after being attacked, the higher their physical strength."
Chi Xiu arrived at the starting line and looked back; behind him were horizontal lines dividing the distance.
"Child, you can release your martial soul to maintain your strongest defensive state, but you cannot use soul skills,"
the Soul Douluo powerhouse opposite said.
Chi Xiu glanced at the dense wall of people surrounding the area—students, teachers—and felt slightly embarrassed; it was the first time he'd been watched by so many people.
Never mind, he'd slip away after the test.
He stood with his legs apart, eyes closed, and arms hanging naturally at his sides.
A resounding dragon roar gradually rose. "Crack
crack crack..."
Seven-colored scales spread inch by inch across his skin, sharp claws extending from his fingertips. Chi Xiu opened his eyes, which had transformed into cold, vertical pupils.
At the same time, a majestic phantom of a colossal beast slowly raised its head behind him.
"A dragon?"
Xue Qinghe narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly, a cacophony of exclamations erupted from all directions.
Xue Qinghe looked around curiously, only to find that some people in the crowd had suddenly collapsed to the ground uncontrollably.
One after another, they fell.
Dizziness, cold sweat, and their martial spirits were being released uncontrollably.
The scene was extremely spectacular.
"Boss!"
Dugu Yan noticed that Yu Tianheng beside her had collapsed again, exhibiting the exact same symptoms as before.
And those around him who had collapsed had the same symptoms.
Chi Xiu stared blankly at the scene before him.
I was just releasing my martial spirit... what are you all doing...
