Ye Feng stood by the window on the 111th floor, staring dumbfounded at the enormous fireworks in the sky.
"City of Sin's warship... exploded?"
He could not believe his eyes.
His chest heaved, his heart pounded wildly, and his excitement was impossible to hide.
"Beep beep beep, beep beep beep!"
His communicator suddenly began ringing frantically.
All surveillance and communication equipment had also been restored.
"It exploded, it exploded—City of Sin's warship exploded..."
Hearing this, he stood frozen in place. The previously stifled expression on his face gradually relaxed.
A smile appeared.
"Which side made a move? Who was it?"
The Eternal Night King emerged from a hidden corner, wearing a concealment cloak, his expression incomparably grim.
He had nearly been discovered.
The person who had acted had to possess at least Spirit Domain Realm Spiritual Power.
Purple Vine City actually had such an existence.
"City Lord, this is Eternal Night. Something terrible has happened. I'm afraid we've kicked an iron plate..."
This terrorist attack shook all of Tianluo Star.
Sky Tower had now been completely taken over by the military.
Bomb disposal experts dismantled more than a hundred bombs.
They averted a major disaster.
The losses suffered by Sky Tower this time were enormous.
One hundred and thirty-one people died, while more than seven hundred and eighty were injured.
Ye Feng and the other responsible parties all received corresponding punishments.
On the third day after the incident, Nan Cheng went to work, while Nan Xuanyu went to school.
Yun Yan came to Nan Xuanyu's home and found Nana.
Nana was still under observation and could not leave Heaven Dou Star.
At Yun Yan's pleading, she returned to Heaven Dou Star with a reserve War God from the War God Temple to investigate.
Before leaving, she made two requests.
One was to say goodbye to Nan Xuanyu.
The other was for the War God Temple to send Nan Xuanyu some precious ingredients every day, at no less than the grade of Earth Dragon sinew.
The Investigation Bureau also learned that she had killed the City of Sin bandits.
They were greatly shocked.
Left with no choice, the people from the War God Temple agreed to her conditions.
Then, she left behind a Spiritual imprint and departed.
The Spiritual imprint contained her words of farewell to Nan Xuanyu.
After the projection ended, although Nan Xuanyu knew Teacher Nana would be taken away,
he was still a little sad.
"Teacher Nana, we'll meet again very soon!"
However, he quickly reined in his emotions, entered the training room, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating diligently.
Some time later, Lan Xiao, who had been away, finally returned.
Nan Cheng and Nan Xuanyu were overjoyed.
Though the process had been fraught with danger, he had returned safely in the end—and had even received a promotion.
It was simply wonderful.
Lan Xiao had been promoted, but Ye Feng had been demoted because of the Sky Tower incident.
One star had been removed from his shoulder insignia, leaving him with two bars and three stars—the same rank as Lan Xiao.
That day, Lan Xiao was taking Nan Xuanyu to school when he happened to run into Ye Feng.
Ye Feng suggested that Lan Xiao send Nan Xuanyu into the military system, such as by joining the War God Temple.
But Lan Xiao refused.
The reason was that entering the military system would mean Nan Xuanyu would have to leave their side.
Neither husband nor wife could bear it.
But the main reason was that Nan Xuanyu had been born from an egg, and his origins could not withstand investigation.
The new school year had begun at Heaven Luo Academy's Purple Vine Branch Campus.
Under their teacher's guidance, Nan Xuanyu and Ye Lingtong arrived at the gymnasium.
Today, they would take the selection assessment for the High-Energy Youth Class.
The High-Energy Youth Class selected outstanding students with both excellent character and academic performance, as well as potential, to form a special class.
High-quality instructors and resources would all be prioritized for this class.
Many people wanted to enter it badly enough to squeeze their heads through the door.
After bringing the students to the gymnasium, the homeroom teachers all left.
Only the ten students participating in the assessment remained.
The middle-aged man in charge of this assessment stood before the ten students and said:
"My name is Mu Chongtian. I am a teacher from Heaven Luo Academy's main campus and am responsible for this assessment.
This assessment has three stages: Soul Power testing, Spiritual Power testing, and then an overall aptitude evaluation.
You will receive corresponding scores for every stage. Your final overall score will be your final result.
All you need to do is show your best possible condition."
During the Soul Power test, when Mu Chongtian learned that Nan Xuanyu's Soul Power had reached level twenty-five, he was greatly shocked.
Nan Xuanyu immediately drew the attention of the main campus teachers.
"Spiritual Power test. Ye Lingtong, you're first."
When the teacher called her name, Ye Lingtong stepped forward and put on the Spiritual Power tester.
"Spiritual Power: thirty-seven."
"..."
"Spiritual Power: forty-eight. Not bad."
When one student tested at forty-eight Spiritual Power, Mu Chongtian finally revealed a faint smile.
The Spiritual Power of those tested earlier had all been too low.
That child had forty-eight points of Spiritual Power at only eight years old.
He would soon break through to the Spirit Connection Realm, with limitless potential.
In terms of Spiritual Power, anyone who could break through to the Spirit Connection Realm before the age of ten was a genius.
"Nan Xuanyu."
Soon, it was Nan Xuanyu's turn. As he put on the Spiritual Power tester, he too felt a warm sensation.
At the same time, countless strands of energy fluctuations gently stimulated his brain.
His Spiritual Sea immediately became active.
"Spiritual Power... one hundred and twelve?"
Seeing the number displayed, the teacher announcing the results widened his eyes and cried out.
"Should we test him again?"
The teacher in charge of the equipment asked.
He felt that there had been an error in the test, perhaps a bug in the machine.
Mu Chongtian was also deeply shocked. He waved his hand.
"No need. The equipment would not malfunction.
Nan Xuanyu, Spiritual Power: one hundred and twelve. Spirit Connection Realm."
Spiritual Power from zero to fifty was the Spirit Origin Realm, while fifty to five hundred was the Spirit Connection Realm.
In the Spirit Connection Realm, the mind became spiritually connected, and intent could reach wherever thought went.
Upon reaching the Spirit Connection Realm, one began to grasp control over Spiritual Power and could truly manipulate one's own Spiritual Power for one's own use.
One could sustain two yellow soul spirits or one purple soul spirit.
But for Nan Xuanyu, he could automatically produce soul rings and had no need for soul spirits.
At seven years old, with level twenty-five Soul Power and Spiritual Power exceeding one hundred, his talent was dazzling and stunned everyone present.
The most unconvinced person was undoubtedly Ye Lingtong.
But the gap between her and Nan Xuanyu was simply too great. Even if she refused to accept it, there was nothing she could do.
At that moment, her fists were tightly clenched, and her expression was rather unpleasant.
Why was Nan Xuanyu's Spiritual Power so high? Why had his Soul Power risen so quickly as well?
He had actually reached level twenty-five.
She refused to accept it.
"Prepare to enter the Simulation Pods and begin the comprehensive test.
The comprehensive test is the most important part. Your martial souls, combat ability, and all other aspects of your aptitude will be displayed.
After entering, show everything you can. Every point of performance will have a major impact on your final score!"
After Mu Chongtian finished speaking, he gestured for the ten students to walk toward the Simulation Pods.
Ten silver Simulation Pods gleamed brightly.
Each occupied around four square meters, enough to accommodate people of all body types.
The interior of the Simulation Pod did not contain a conventional seat, but rather a transparent substance that looked like viscous liquid.
Nan Xuanyu sat inside the Simulation Pod and immediately felt as though he had stepped into a mud pit. It was exceedingly strange.
A metal mask descended from above and covered his face.
Then, his body was completely immersed in the transparent gel.
Soon, his entire body sank into the transparent gel.
The sticky sensation from before had now vanished.
Waves of tingling sensation came from the metal mask.
His Spiritual Sea began to tremble faintly.
