Blood Damage Detector

An electronic voice sounded inside:

"Grip the handrails with both hands and inject Soul Power."

Nan Xuanyu did as instructed, gripping the handles and injecting Soul Power.

"Name: Nan Xuanyu. Bone age: eleven.

Martial Soul: top-tier Dragon Martial Soul.

Base Soul Power: level forty-eight.

Actual combat Soul Power: level eighty."

Hearing the announcement, Nan Xuanyu could not help but marvel.

Shrek Academy truly lived up to its name. This testing device was interesting!

The metal doors on both sides opened, and he walked out, heading toward the next testing device.

This one tested Spiritual Power.

The metal doors closed, plunging the entire device into darkness.

After sitting down as instructed, he felt his scalp tingle as his brain was stimulated.

His Spiritual Power released itself.

A pale yellow glow flickered through the room as his Spiritual Power spread, its frequency continuously increasing.

"Beep, beep, beep! Beep, beep, beep!"

Suddenly, an alarm blared beside his ears.

"Warning, warning! Device malfunction! Device malfunction!

Please break free immediately, or your life will be in danger."

Urgent alert tones followed.

He hurriedly exerted force with both arms, releasing his Spiritual Power to resist the stimulation coming from the helmet.

A red glow immediately spread over his entire body.

After struggling for five seconds, the stimulation suddenly vanished.

"Testing complete. Please do not panic."

The metal restraints released on their own, and the helmet rose.

Then the prompt sounded:

"Name: Nan Xuanyu. Spiritual Power: one thousand one hundred and eight. Burst Spiritual Power: one thousand one hundred and eighty-eight. Physical struggling force: one thousand three hundred and sixty jin."

What was going on?

Nan Xuanyu stood up, blanking out for a moment before immediately understanding.

That so-called alarm had been fake, meant to make him erupt and struggle.

It was his first time seeing such a testing method.

When he entered the third device, Nan Xuanyu became much more cautious.

He observed it first. Then, the metal doors on both sides closed.

Lights began to shine, blue at first, then quickly changing into red, green, and other colors.

It was dazzling.

Then, he felt his entire body grow light, as if he were floating.

The next instant, his body began to spin violently.

All sorts of colored lights erupted around him.

He immediately felt as though the world were spinning.

He wanted to throw up.

Ling Yiyi waited outside the third device.

The five people ahead of Nan Xuanyu, including Qian Lei, were each hunched over a bucket, vomiting loudly.

Almost everyone who emerged from the third device felt the world spinning.

Not a single one had avoided vomiting.

The only difference was how long they had endured inside the device.

Soon, Nan Xuanyu's test ended.

He stood up and sharply shook his head. The intense dizziness quickly faded.

His steps were slightly unsteady as he walked out, his face somewhat pale.

"Ah? You... why are you all throwing up?"

Seeing them vomiting, he cried out in surprise, almost wanting to laugh.

"Damn it, you, you... blegh..."

Qian Lei glanced at Nan Xuanyu, then threw up again with a loud retch, his expression utterly awful.

Ling Yiyi handed him a bucket.

"Want one?"

Nan Xuanyu shook his head. "No need."

A trace of surprise appeared on Ling Yiyi's pretty face.

"Your sense of balance is extremely good. If you pass the later assessments, I'll recommend that the academy give you a balance-limit test."

Nan Xuanyu nodded, patted Qian Lei and Liu Feng on the shoulders, and chuckled.

"You two old brothers just can't make the cut. A man can't be incapable!"

Shaking his head, he headed toward the fourth device.

Qian Lei and Liu Feng looked utterly miserable. They wanted to curse, but the moment they took a breath, they started vomiting again.

Even more violently than before.

Inside the fourth device stood a humanoid target.

"Attack with your greatest strength.

Attack once using purely physical strength.

Attack once with all offensive abilities stacked together."

The prompt sounded as soon as Nan Xuanyu entered.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and struck out with pure physical force.

With a dull bang, his fist smashed hard into the target.

His fist did not rebound. The force seemed to be absorbed by the target in an instant.

"Second attempt. Prepare."

The prompt sounded again.

Taking another deep breath, Nan Xuanyu activated his Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul. His bloodline surged, and his Soul Power erupted in full.

Golden-Colored light radiated from his entire body as Golden-Colored Dragon Scales covered him.

Dragon Scales even emerged over his fist.

His right hand seemed to have transformed into the true body of an Ancestral Dragon claw.

Ancestral Dragon Ascends was unleashed.

The deep Dragon's Roar suddenly rose into a piercing cry.

He threw a fierce right punch. Before his fist, a mass of Golden-Colored light took shape, forming a gigantic dragon head.

Though that dragon head was condensed from energy, it looked remarkably clear.

Bang!

Gathering his Soul Power, Bloodline Power, and combat technique, Nan Xuanyu mobilized all the strength in his body and slammed it fiercely into the target.

This time, the prompt did not announce his strength.

The door opened, and he walked out. The test was over.

Next came the wait for the balance test.

At the top floor of Shrek Academy's main teaching building.

"The satellite images have arrived. They show that when Sea God Lake experienced a tide, the Life Energy around all of Shrek City instantly rose by twenty percent, while the Life Energy across all of Douluo Star rose by five percent.

Elder Tree said this should be a good sign. The Eternal Tree seems to be evolving, or perhaps undergoing a beneficial mutation, so everyone need not worry."

The speaker was a plain-looking middle-aged man with a vertical eye on his forehead.

A woman sat in the seat of honor. She appeared to be in her twenties and was extraordinarily beautiful.

Wearing a gentle smile, she nodded.

"That's good. Then everyone can rest easy.

Pay more attention to the new student examinations over the next two days. If you discover promising talents, they may be admitted as exceptions."

"Yes, Dean. Rest assured."

Several people nodded.

"Dean."

At that moment, Zhang Chenyu, the doctor in charge of the new students' blood draw and medical examinations, entered the office.

The beautiful dean smiled.

"Chenyu, what is it?"

Zhang Chenyu's expression was somewhat unusual.

"Dean, this candidate's sample is very unusual. Two testing devices have already been damaged during testing. I'd like to ask you to take a look and see what is happening."

"Oh?"

A trace of surprise appeared on the beautiful dean's face. She rose gracefully.

"Fine, take me there. It seems there's an interesting little fellow among this year's students!"

Zhang Chenyu said respectfully, "He truly is somewhat unusual. When I drew his blood, I discovered that it seemed to flicker. It was actually glowing."

"Let's take a look."

The beautiful dean frowned and walked outside.

"Hm?"

When she arrived at the testing room, the beautiful dean frowned. She sensed an unusual energy fluctuation.

She also saw the two damaged blood testing devices. They were smoking, giving off a burnt smell.

Seeing this, she frowned and looked at Zhang Chenyu.

"Is there any blood left? Let me see it!"

Zhang Chenyu hurriedly took out a blood collection tube from the side and handed it to the beautiful dean.

Written on it was a name: "Heaven Luo Academy, Nan Xuanyu."
