Chapter 112
Elder Yue Jingchan agreed with the suggestion for he also wanted to take the opportunity to see how powerful the Western Campus prodigies were .
A Sacred Testing Stone was soon placed on a metal frame in front of the door to the Divine Power Palace .
Deputy Headmaster Qing Hua gazed at the 12 students and said, "You must do your best in the test . Elder Yue Jingchan can only offer you guidance if you fully understand your Spiritual Power . Now, line up according to your age . Tuo Muzi, you're the oldest . You go first . "
"Yes!"
Tuo Muzi was confident in his Spiritual Power for he was after all the first ranked student nine years ago . He had 12 chances to enter Divine Power Palace ever since joining Western Campus as an external student .
In those nine years, he had elevated his Spiritual Power to a particularly high level .
The muscular Tuo Muzi walked up to the Sacred Testing Stone and placed his palm on it .
"Whoosh!"
Light streaks appeared on the surface of the stone .
One, two, three light streaks . . . In the end, it stopped at the appearance of the 24th light streak .
Tuo Muzi wiped the sweat from his forehead . Satisfied with his result, he let out a loud laugh .
"He truly lives up to his reputation as our oldest senior! His Spiritual Power is so strong!"
"I heard that he also knows how to refine weapons and train beasts . He's a second-class Weapon Refiner and Beast Trainer . It's really nice to have strong Spiritual Power, isn't it?"
Elder Yue Jingchan nodded . "It's pretty incredible that you reached level 24 before the age of 30 . If you get yourself together and focus on either refining weapons or training beasts, you'll definitely be a powerful Weapon Refiner or a tamer in the future . "
Though Elder Yue Jingchan appeared to be complimenting Tuo Muzi, he also seemed to be criticizing him .
Tuo Muzi was a highly talented warrior, that much was obvious to everyone . If he had focused on practicing Martial Arts, he would have reached the Earth Realm long ago .
If he had focused on refining weapons or training beasts, he would have been considered a third-grade Weapons Refiner or Beast Tamer by now .
But he was talented in all three areas and wanted to cultivate everything . That was precisely what was holding him back .
He naturally understood Elder Yue Jingchan's criticism and humbly asked for advice . "Teacher, which path do you think I should take?"
Elder Yue Jingchan replied, "The path is below your feet . How you choose is up to you . " "I can only give you some suggestions . If you choose Martial Arts, you must give up Weapon refining and Beast training . You can see them as your hobbies but you mustn't spend too much energy on them . Given your talents, you'll probably be able to achieve the Earth Realm in the Intermediate Relic Exploration Test early next year and become an internal student," he added .
Tuo Muzi's eyes brightened when he heard about the Intermediate Relic Exploration Test .
He wasn't the only one . Huang Yanchen, Duanmu Xingling, and a few other older students also became excited .
They finally learned something about the Intermediate Relic Exploration Test .
Elder Yue Jingchan spoke again, "If you want to go for the other two, you're absolutely qualified to enter the internal school and practice given your level 24 Spiritual Power . I can introduce you to a Weapon Refiner or Tamer presbyter to be your master . Tuo Muzi, what's your choice?"
Tuo Muzi clenched his fists as if he had already made his choice . He smiled and said, "I've always wanted to be a strong warrior . If I wanted to break through to the Earth Realm, I would've done it four years ago . "
"I've been studying Beast Training and Weapon Refining in the last four years because I've been waiting for the Intermediate Relic Exploration Test . Since the school is opening the middle-level heritage, I'll definitely choose the warrior path and enter in my best condition . "
Elder Yue Jingchang looked surprised, his expression conflicting with tears and laughter . "You've been refusing to break through to the Earth Realm because you're waiting for the Intermediate Relic Exploration Test in the next year?"
"Correct," Tuo Muzi said .
It was a difficult task to break into the Earth Realm, so the School of the Martial Market held the Elementary Relic Exploration Test once every two years .
The Elementary Relic Exploration Test was nothing more than a leveling up exam . Only students who had reached the Completion of the Black Realm were eligible to participate .
The test not only provided students plenty of precious practice resources but also allowed them to experience many harsh and tough moments . Many of those stuck at the Completion of the Black Realm were able to reach the Earth Realm and become internal students through such experiences .
The test was held once every two years and only warriors who had reached the Completion of the Black Realm could participate .
On the other hand, the Intermediate Relic Exploration Test was held once every 10 years . Only the top 10 students of the four campuses were allowed to join . Since it was a very rare opportunity, participation came with even more benefits as well . Thus, the top geniuses in the campuses had always suppressed their cultivations, awaiting the test .
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Huang Yanchen and Duanmu Xingling . No wonder there was only one first ranked freshmen who made it to the Earth Realm and became an internal student . Everyone else was waiting for the test .
He wondered if he should fight for the chance as it would be another 10-year-wait if he missed it .
Tuo Muzi stepped down . The second student to be tested for his Spiritual Power was Ju Hailan, a 26-year-old student who was the first ranked freshman seven years ago .
"Ju Hailan, Level 18 Spiritual Power . "
Ju Hailan was fairly satisfied with his result . It was better than most warriors of the Earth Realm even if it wasn't comparable to Tuo Muzi .
The third student was the 24-year-old Hua Lian . She was the first-ranked student six years ago .
"Hua Lian, Level 16 Spiritual Power . "
The fourth was the 23-year-old Yuchi Tiancong, the No . 1 freshman two years ago .
"Yuchi Tiancong, Level 12 Spiritual Power . "
The Spiritual Power of typical warriors usually hovered at level 10 .
Yuchi Tiancong had only entered the school and started practicing his Spiritual Power two years ago . His result was impressive given how little time he had to practice .
The fifth was the 22-year-old Xue Ling, the No . 1 freshman last year .
"Xue Ling, Level 12 Spiritual Power . "
The sixth one was Zi Qian, aged 22 .
Since Zi Qian wasn't from an aristocratic family, she didn't have any resources when she was young . Yet for her to acquire her current cultivation meant she was an outstanding warrior among the relatively poor ones . If she wanted resources for practice, she had to kill people for money so she could buy pills, martial techniques, books, and weapons .
"Zi Qian, Level 16 Spiritual Power . "
When Elder Yue Jingchan read out the strength of Zi Qian's Spiritual Power, the students below were all surprised . They found it unbelievable for a freshman to reach level 16 .
The seventh was the 21-year-old Huang Yanchen, the first ranked freshman five years ago .
"Huang Yanchen, Level 21 Spiritual Power . "
A smile floated on her face when she saw her result . She didn't realize her Spiritual Power had increased by one level .
Though it was just one level, such an increase in Spiritual Power couldn't be underestimated . It was incredibly difficult to do so after reaching level 15 .
The eighth to be tested was the 21-year-old Prince Huo Xing .
"Huo Xing, Level 17 Spiritual Power . "
Elder Yue Jingchan looked at Prince Huo Xing approvingly, praising all the freshmen this year . They all had real abilities and strong Spiritual Powers .
Yet Prince Huo Xing wasn't satisfied with his result . He had been planning to give everyone a shock with the strength of his Spiritual Power . However, Huang Yanchen's performance was too startling and completely overshadowed him .
They were both 21 years old, yet Huang Yanchen's Spiritual Power was at level 21 . That was four whole levels higher than his .
There was nothing for him to be proud of .
The ninth was the 19-year-old Yao Qingtong .
"Yao Qingtong, Level 15 Spiritual Power . "
The ones who felt the worst at the moment were Yuchi Tiancong and Xue Ling . They were senior students but were overshadowed by the freshmen . It was acceptable if it was just one freshman, yet all three had obtained higher levels of Spiritual Power than theirs . How could they take on such embarrassment?
The tenth was the 18-year-old Duanmu Xingling, who joined three years ago .
"Duanmu Xingling, level 20 Spiritual Power," said Elder Yue Jingchan with a smile .
The eleventh student was the 17-year-old Luo Shuihan, who joined four years ago .
"Luo Shuihan, it's your turn to test your Spiritual Power!" Elder Yue Jingchan said smilingly .
Luo Shuihan didn't come from an ordinary background . She was the descendant of Luo Xu, the No . 1 genius of the Western Campus in its history of 460 years . Four years ago, she joined the Western Campus as the first-ranked freshman at the age of 13 . This had sent shockwaves across the entire School of the Martial Market .
The Luo family was a large and wealthy family . There wasn't any need for her to practice at the Western Campus, but she was a proud person and wanted to surpass her ancestor, Luo Xu .
Therefore, she came to Western Campus and followed after her ancestor's footsteps . She wanted to become someone as powerful as her ancestor .
She was only 17 but she was widely accepted as the No . 1 warrior of the Western Campus . Even Tuo Muzi, Huang Yanchen, and Duanmu Xingling couldn't match up to her .
Zhang Ruochen was also curious about this person who lived in Heaven No . 1 . He turned to look at her .
Luo Shuihan was wearing a plain white robe without any adornments, looking very plain . No one would notice her in a crowd, but once they did, they wouldn't be able to look away from her beauty . She didn't look like she belonged to this world . Rather she looked like a fairy who had fallen from the heaven .
Zhang Ruochen couldn't find a single flaw in her . There was nothing to criticize her at all . She was a beautiful and unique woman, without the frostiness of Huang Yanchen or the strangeness of Duanmu Xingling . She had an unearthly aura, like a woman would only be observed from afar and never to approach .
