Golden Crocodile Douluo was neither from around here nor a teacher here. He was a Titled Douluo who had rushed over after receiving the reports on Mo Yuqing and Zhongli.

Spirit Hall had always placed great importance on geniuses, and Zhongli and Mo Yuqing were no exceptions. Though no Titled Douluo appeared to be watching them openly, Golden Crocodile Douluo had actually disguised himself as an ordinary old man to observe their performance.

Under normal circumstances, if they performed well and their temperaments suited Golden Crocodile Douluo's tastes, he would take them as disciples. If they were unsuitable, they would never know that a Level 98 Super Douluo had silently watched them here.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was Spirit Hall's Second Worship. He had spent many years in seclusion, and had only recently emerged. Since he happened to be in the mood to take a look at these children, and since two geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power were important enough to warrant attention, he had come over to observe them briefly. Normally, someone of his stature would not appear here.

But now, things had become rather delicate~

On the track

Zhongli and Mo Yuqing began running at the same time. Zhongli's expression was calm, but he was actually extremely uneasy inside. The feeling of being watched was far too obvious. The old man observing him was definitely incredibly powerful, far beyond what he could defeat at his current stage. At most, he could use the intimidation of his bloodline to give the man a slight deterrent.

If the other party truly made a move, Zhongli was not even confident he could escape on his own. This was an extremely serious matter! He had never imagined that such a small Spirit Hall Academy would have a Titled Douluo within it, and this Titled Douluo was certainly not low-level—not some bottom-tier Level 90-something like Poison Douluo.

"Humph, Flying Thunder Mark!"

Mo Yuqing smiled as she looked at Zhongli, whose normal speed was slightly slower than hers. With great pride, she activated the Flying Thunder Marks she had already set up. Her speed instantly surged, then surged again and again in nearly continuous bursts, leaving Zhongli far behind.

As expected, I'm still better!

Hahahaha~

Watching Mo Yuqing run ahead with excitement written all over her face, Zhongli could not help but reveal a helpless smile. This girl was truly lovable. No matter when it was, simply seeing her innocent, joyful smile could easily brighten his mood and make even the greatest pressure vanish like smoke.

This was really nice~

Mo Yuqing soon reached the finish line. With her hands on her hips, she waited for Zhongli with a cheerful grin, while Zhongli deliberately kept his pace slow as he leisurely jogged over. His current speed was probably a little slower than Mo Yuqing's normal speed. He felt that this should be the normal speed of someone with Innate Full Soul Power.

Being too fast would attract too much attention.

Although that old man had most likely already realized that he was no ordinary person, he still had to put on an act.

The two returned to the old man—Golden Crocodile Douluo. Mo Yuqing smiled timidly and blinked as she asked, "Um, how was my result? It wasn't bad, right?"

"Heh, it was indeed not bad."

Golden Crocodile Douluo smiled. The innocent and lively Mo Yuqing was pleasing to look at, and her strength was not weak either, so she had earned a very high impression score. He would most likely take her as his disciple directly.

Children like this were the most endearing, far better than that troublesome fellow over there. I could tell at a glance that he wasn't running seriously. He hadn't sweated at all along the way, nor was he even out of breath. Overall, he looked like an old man taking a stroll around the plaza.

He really was impossible to read...

"Full marks for speed. You're very good."

Golden Crocodile Douluo handed the red form with her score filled in to the delighted Mo Yuqing, then handed another form to Zhongli and said, "Your score is ninety-five. Your normal speed already surpasses that of many Agility Attack System Soul Masters who specialize in speed. You have the potential to become an Agility Attack System Soul Master, though it isn't especially outstanding."

"Hm? What about me? What about me?"

Mo Yuqing lightly bit her lip. With a face full of nervousness and excitement, she looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo's aged face and asked again.

"You child..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head slightly and sighed. "I already told you that you received full marks. That means you are the fastest genius of this era. In terms of talent in the Agility Attack System, no one can be faster than you. Do you understand now?"

"Hehe, thank you for the praise!"

Mo Yuqing smiled. Hearing the old man's words, she felt so happy she could practically fly. She was the fastest genius of this era! That was such an incredible achievement!

"Alright, off you go."

Golden Crocodile Douluo waved his hand, signaling for Zhongli and Mo Yuqing to leave quickly.

He already had a rough idea. Mo Yuqing was a genuine genius, and she seemed outstanding in every aspect, making her very suitable as a disciple. Zhongli also had a good relationship with her, and there was a trace of doting affection in his eyes. Thus, as long as he kept Mo Yuqing under control, Zhongli would basically be in a safe position and might even offer a certain degree of help.

Mo Yuqing was the answer to the current meta!

Zhongli and Mo Yuqing then arrived at the wooden post area. The teacher there was a plump middle-aged man with a kind-looking face. He listlessly conducted tests for the students who came over. However, there were not many visitors, because usually only Agility Attack System Soul Masters came here. Soul Masters of other systems did not need to be tested, as there was little point.

Mo Yuqing came here for a test. Since the rules were the same as before and allowed her to set things up in advance, she quickly arranged her Flying Thunder Marks. Her attack speed immediately skyrocketed, and in a short time, she struck every wooden post.

The teacher was stunned on the spot. He had never dreamed that a student could actually succeed in hitting every single wooden post. What was even more surprising was that Mo Yuqing's Mist Splitter Reforged was far too sharp and had also been enchanted, resulting in every wooden post in the area being cut in two.

"Ah, what a miserable life I have!"

After Zhongli and Mo Yuqing left, the slightly plump middle-aged teacher summoned his martial soul and began repairing the damage Mo Yuqing had caused bit by bit. After all, these were not meant for just one person's test. New wooden posts would still be needed for later tests.

Fortunately, this teacher's specialty was a perfect match for the job, and he was particularly familiar with repairing wooden posts. Even if students damaged them, he could still fix them. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome.

At the final attack power testing ground

A Burly Strongman over two meters tall sat smiling on a small rock. After taking the red form, he directly pointed to the stones beside him and said casually, "My test is the simplest. Just pick a rock and hit it."

"Oh, I understand."

Mo Yuqing nodded slightly, then turned to look at Zhongli with a meaningful gaze. The latter let out a soft breath, shrugged helplessly, and said, "Alright, alright, stop hinting at me. I'll try hitting a rock first. But don't place too much hope in my attack power. I'm only an ordinary Support System Soul Master."

"Hehe, it's fine. In the future, I'll handle the fighting for you. You just need to put shields on me!" Mo Yuqing said with a smile, raising her little fist.
