Attack Power Test

Zhongli walked straight up to a boulder over a meter tall. Stroking his chin with one hand, he thought for a moment. A Soul Master's attack power after switching classes might not be strong, but surely it can't be so weak that I can't even break a rock, right? If I use Vortex Vanquisher to smash this boulder apart, I should be able to get a decent score.

If the boulder he shattered was too large,

that would be far too outrageous~

"Vortex Vanquisher!"

Zhongli clenched his right hand in the air, and Vortex Vanquisher instantly appeared in his grasp. A yellow Spirit Ring slowly rose beside him. He stepped back with one foot, assuming a serious charging stance as he stared directly at the boulder before him.

Gulp.

Mo Yuqing's throat bobbed. She lightly bit her lip as she watched Zhongli. At that moment, she was actually a little afraid that Zhongli's attack power would be too strong and make her seem useless. Her heart was filled with unease.

"Oh, that stance... Is he going to smash it?"

The burly teacher seated on a stone stool raised an eyebrow and muttered, "So young. As the owner of a Spear-type Martial Soul, he'd be better off using a thrust if he wants the best possible score. But... he does have Innate Full Soul Power. His attack power shouldn't be weak. I wonder how far he can go. I'm a little curious."

"Hah..."

Zhongli drew in a deep breath and settled his energy into his abdomen, looking as though he were truly about to attack with all his strength. He suddenly swung both arms, and Vortex Vanquisher descended like a falling meteor, smashing fiercely into the boulder.

"Boom!!"

The boulder instantly exploded, shattered by Vortex Vanquisher into countless pieces. Zhongli's expression was not particularly serious. It seemed like he had gone all out, yet also as if he still had a little strength to spare.

"Fuck!"

The burly teacher cursed under his breath, then rubbed his eyes and looked again. The boulder had actually been smashed apart. That attack power was a little absurd...

But since Zhongli had done it, the teacher couldn't exactly refuse to give him a score. So, he took out Zhongli's red form and silently gave him full marks. He even added a note afterward: Extremely powerful attack strength, exceptionally suited to the Power Attack System.

And so, the pressure shifted to Mo Yuqing...

Mo Yuqing bit her lip as she looked at the destruction Zhongli had caused, feeling a little uncertain. She was now seriously doubting whether her attack power could compare to Zhongli's.

It's fine, I'm in the Agility Attack System... Even if my damage is a little lower, my attack speed is fast. My attack speed and movement speed both got full marks. As long as I can whittle them down quickly, I'm still amazing. It's fine, it's fine...

Although that was what she told herself, when she truly walked up to a boulder and was about to begin the attack power test, then glanced once more at the destructive force of Zhongli's attack, her mentality completely collapsed.

Ah, this still feels awful!

No, I have to deal tons of damage!

"Flying Thunder Mark!"

Gritting her teeth, Mo Yuqing instantly released more than half the Soul Power within her body and threw a large number of Flying Thunder Marks at the boulder. The effect was dazzling, but the damage dealt to the boulder was practically negligible.

"Hm? A preparatory Soul Skill?"

The teacher's gaze sharpened. Looking at the two children's forms, he knew that Zhongli was probably a Power Attack System Soul Master, while Mo Yuqing was an Agility Attack System Soul Master. Mo Yuqing's attack power would most likely be a little lower, but her attack speed should not be slow—though it could not be that fast either.

After all, the speed test conducted by Golden Crocodile Douluo had noted that Mo Yuqing's First Soul Skill was a speed-boosting type. It allowed its user to erupt with extremely fast speed, so its enhancement to attack speed and attack power should be fairly limited...

Just as he was thinking that, Mo Yuqing had already begun attacking.

"Ah!!"

Mo Yuqing gritted her teeth and activated every Flying Thunder Mark on the boulder at once. Wielding Mist Splitter Reforged, she wildly slashed at the boulder. Since the Flying Thunder Marks were positioned everywhere, she gained a 200% speed boost in every direction. That was equivalent to a 200% increase in attack speed for one second!

Her sword speed had not been slow to begin with, and with the additional 200% attack speed boost, her blade left afterimages within that single second without the slightest sense of resistance. And because her swings had accelerated too much, while Mo Yuqing herself did not know any swordsmanship, she was basically using Xia Ji's Eight Slashes with her eyes closed during that second...

"Hah... hah... hah..."

Mo Yuqing panted heavily. Intense, brilliant purple lightning still flickered across Mist Splitter Reforged in her hand, because the energy dispersed by Mist Splitter Reforged's acceleration could imbue it. Too many marks had erupted just now, stacking the strength of the imbuement all at once. That was why her strikes against the boulder dealt such high damage without any resistance.

She quietly watched the boulder, whose surface appeared unchanged, and felt a little shattered inside. That was the damage I dealt with everything I had! Did it really do nothing?

"Crack!"

The boulder shifted slightly, scattering a pile of stone dust. Mo Yuqing's heart stirred. Something seemed off in a good way, and a spark of hope rose within her once more.

The next moment—

"Rumble!!"

The boulder instantly collapsed, breaking into countless neat little pieces...

The lack of any change just now was not because Mo Yuqing's attack power was low or ineffective. It was because her attack speed and cutting power were too strong, causing the boulder to be sliced apart before it had time to react.

Though the boulder was very hard, Mist Splitter Reforged was no weak Martial Soul. On the contrary, its cutting ability was originally incredibly powerful, capable of slicing through iron like mud, not to mention after it had been imbued with the massive amount of dispersed energy from the Flying Thunder Marks.

"Eh, it shattered all over the ground..."

Mo Yuqing tilted her head slightly as she looked at the stones scattered across the ground. Her heart instantly relaxed, as though the huge weight in her chest had been cut apart along with the boulder. So her attack power was not low after all.

That's wonderful~

On the other side, the burly teacher sitting on the stone stool was nearly dropping his jaw, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets, his head buzzing. Mo Yuqing possessed the attack speed of a top-tier Agility Attack System Soul Master and the attack power of a top-tier Power Attack System Soul Master. Her damage output was terrifyingly strong.

If she slashed someone with that...

Tsk, would there even be any intact parts left?

The teacher calmed himself slightly, then looked at the form in his hand. Gritting his teeth lightly, he wrote down full marks, added an exclamation mark after them, and appended a note: Do not use students for testing!

After writing that, the burly teacher looked at the two approaching children. Seeing Mo Yuqing's harmless, sunny, and adorable appearance, he thought for a moment and added two more emphatic lines afterward.

Never use students to test her combat ability! Absolutely do not use students for combat testing!

Important things had to be said three times. Those teachers in charge of combat testing should understand now, right? If they still did not understand after such a clear note, they would be too stupid. Anyway, he had done everything within his power. What happened afterward was up to fate.

This girl... was truly a little monster!

To hell with the Agility Attack System—she was clearly a Power Attack System Soul Master with the attack speed of the Agility Attack System!
