Chapter 315: Test Result
Ying Wushuang steadied herself . There wasn't any unnecessary expression on her pretty face . She was completely focused on the task .
As soon as she had manipulated the haloes of heaven in her Qihai, a gale started and her hair flew . The gale blew around her from the ground up towards the sky .
The calm water was finally disturbed . The ripples spread out to the edge of the jar .
"Ah?"
The onlookers were surprised, no longer looking down on her .
The ripples were spread out following a certain pattern and tempo, which meant that Ying Wushuang had an extraordinary control of her halos of heaven .
"Huh . "
Murong Yuan was surprised, too, but the disdain on her face wasn't gone . The test had only just started .
Then the water in the jar began to rotate clockwise . The ripples became tumbling white waves .
Ying Wushuang took a deep breath and moved her palms down .
The current started to run violently, faster and faster, like horses spurred on . Soon, a whirlpool appeared under her palms .
If anyone gazed at the flow of water at that moment, they would feel dizzy .
Under countless shocked gazes, Ying Wushuang pulled her hands back all of a sudden, but the rotation of the water carried on due to inertia .
One lap .
Two laps .
Three laps .
. . .
Thirty-four laps!
Everyone had been counting silently . They looked at each other for confirmation, knowing they hadn't counted wrong when they saw the same shock in others' eyes .
The water in the jar weighed more than steel, but it was very tenacious .
If the test taker stopped imposing force, no matter how violently the current had been moving, the water would soon become calm again .
That was why everyone was counting before the Hero Palace could announce the results .
Ten laps was average .
Twenty laps was excellent .
Murong Yuan had achieved twenty-one laps, but Ying Wushuang had achieved such impressive results so easily .
The onlookers looked towards the notice board . In the middle of the board, Ying Wushuang's name appeared .
The result of her first test item was outstanding .
Like the Sacred Institute, there was a hidden grade in the grading system .
Outstanding was the level above superior .
Since they had counted thirty-four laps themselves, they didn't find it too surprising . All together, they looked towards Murong Yuan .
The disdain on her face had been replaced by surprise .
Like a dark creature exposed to sunlight, she had no way to hide her expression .
Although she tried hard to act unshaken, she was still embarrassed .
"She must have focused on this item recently! What matters is the overall performance, not the performance on one part of the test," a female disciple beside Murong Yuan said, trying to save her reputation .
That was something Murong Yuan liked hearing . She managed to retain some of her dignity .
Ying Wushuang didn't respond . She began the second part of the test directly . She would shut these people up with proof that she was better .
"Elder, have you thought about what to say in your apology?" Jiang Chen came to Du Yue, who was also petrified, and said to him with smile .
"Huh . " Du Yue knew what he meant . He gnashed his teeth . He hadn't given up yet, still expecting the results of the second item .
The second part was to test one's explosiveness, or the force that a Reaching Heaven State carrier of martial arts could exert in one second!
The test tool looked very simple . It was a 30-yard-high copper pillar standing in the square that was as wide as a person .
The surface of the pillar was very smooth . People could vaguely see their reflections in it, like a mirror .
The test taker had to punch the copper pillar with their full strength to get the result .
A circle with a diameter of three feet had been painted on the ground around the pillar . The test taker had to stand in the circle to ensure the test was fair .
If they were allowed to gather momentum by running from thousands of feet away, the kinetic energy generated couldn't be classified as explosive .
After the first part, Ying Wushuang had found her confidence once again, not nervous at all . All she needed to do was to try her best .
Who is he?
Ying Wushuang looked towards Jiang Chen before she started . The latter was smiling as usual . It was the first time that she had ever found him attractive .
Ying Wushuang curled her lips and held the odd feeling down .
When she looked forward again, she was completely focused .
Explosiveness had to do with many things . Emotion was one of them, so the copper pillar became Mo Jianfei in her eyes, the man who had confessed his love to her and was then rejected by her . She recalled how she and Murong Yuan had been friends .
Then the happy scenes disappeared . Mo Jianfei and Murong Yuan were accusing her of seducing him, saying she was shameless .
Her old friend refused to listen to her argument . Even though she knew Ying Wushuang was innocent, she couldn't accept the fact that her fiancé had fallen in love with her best friend, so she showed her cruelest side . She didn't show any mercy, constantly giving Ying Wushuang a hard time .
Ying Wushuang started by hitting the copper pillar with the power of an angry animal .
Bang! She slapped her palms on the pillar with all her strength . The whole universe was shaken .
People who hadn't seen it clearly thought there had been thunder . The flying dust made many people cough .
Huh .
A silvery laugh broke the silence . People were confused until they saw Ying Wushuang . She looked completely different . She was beaming, showing her beautiful teeth .
People were struck dumb . Two ideas occurred to them .
I didn't know Ying Wushuang can smile .
Gosh, her smile is so beautiful .
In their minds, Ying Wushuang always looked fierce and cold, as if the whole world was her enemy . She wasn't nice to anyone, but at that moment, she was like sunshine . The onlookers all felt like they had just found a new treasure that was unique and astounding .
Ying Wushuang was embarrassed by their looks . She stopped smiling, suddenly at a loss . She instinctively looked towards Jiang Chen .
Jiang Chen was happy . Ying Wushuang had been totally liberated through that punch . Her original self had come back .
"Wow! Another outstanding!"
She had been too surprised to pay attention to her results .
It had been published on the board . She had received another outstanding for the second test .
She actually didn't have to take the third test . She had already exceeded Murong Yuan, even if she only earned a pass on the third .
Murong Yuan felt conflicted at that moment, especially at the thought of Ying Wushuang's sudden change .
She flicked her sleeves and turned around to leave, unwilling to see what would happen next .
As for the rewards the test promised, she had never been interested .
"Are you leaving? Don't you want me to apologize to you and kneel down to kiss your shoes?"
But Jiang Chen's annoying voice followed her, preventing her from leaving .
"Kiss them if you want . "
Murong Yuan flew into a rage . Without trying to maintain her image, she turned around and lifted her right foot .
This was unexpected to Jiang Chen . He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Pity . The bet has nothing to do with you . "
His bet concerned Du Yue, who would have to admit his mistake in person .
Murong Yuan didn't have to do anything .
The female disciples accompanying her comforted her, and she left with them .
As for Du Yue, she didn't care about him at all .
Du Yue didn't feel confident when he realized this .
He regretted agreeing to the bet in the first place, but he didn't have any chance to go back on his word . Jiang Chen opened a jade book and replayed what he had said in the pavilion before about being noble and humble .
