Test Complete

"Ha—"

With a roar, flames blazed fiercely!

That dragon claw covered in red scales tore through the flames and seized the azure Seven Kills Sword before it. It ignored the razor-sharp blade breaking through its dragon scales, allowing blood to drip from its hand.

"You crazy girl."

Chen Junting suddenly swung his left hand. His fair palm collided directly with the incoming dragon claw. The fury of flames and the sharpness of a sword—two different Soul Power fluctuations surged outward, and countless sparks exploded as they clashed!

At the same time, his right wrist sank.

The Seven Kills Sword, still held in the dragon claw, suddenly trembled! Combined with the terrifying force and the sword's sharpness, the dragon scales cracked inch by inch, and the wound continued to widen. Even a fierce aura surged toward Wu Feng's body!

"Bang!"

The Seven Kills Sword followed with an upward thrust. Wu Feng could no longer withstand the force and released it. At the same time, a fair palm appeared before her eyes, and the explosive sound of it ripping through the air rang out abruptly.

In her haste, Wu Feng could only raise the intact dragon claw of her left arm and shield herself. But the terrifying force sent her flying backward. Even after stabilizing herself, all she could see was her left hand trembling slightly, while she could not feel it at all.

"Whoosh—"

The instant she raised her head, the sword tip was already pointing at the end of her nose.

"All right, it's over." The moment Mu Jin spoke, white petals drifted down onto Wu Feng's body, instantly healing her wounds, which had been dripping with blood.

"I lost again." She glanced at Chen Junting, who was withdrawing his Martial Soul, with slight unwillingness. "You only used your First Soul Skill."

"What else would I do?" Chen Junting ignored Wu Feng's little fit of pique and stepped down from the Soul Fighting Stage first. After all, Wu Feng was the last Class Nine student in this practical battle.

Since the practical battle was over, the results of the five tests had been determined. Now, only the final endurance test remained.

And the best way to test that was long-distance running.

Thus, in the afternoon, Mu Jin gathered everyone at the Plaza.

However, the moment they entered the Plaza, everyone sensed that something was wrong. Their bodies suddenly grew heavy.

"Is this Soul Power pressure again?"

As she adapted to the heavy sensation, Wu Feng looked around.

But she did not find any Soul Tool or Soul Skill.

"No Soul Tool?"

"If it isn't a Soul Tool, then it's a Soul Skill."

Chen Junting had already turned his gaze toward the middle-aged, brawny man beside Mu Jin. The moment he felt this pressure, he had already distinguished it from Soul Power pressure. Soul Power pressure felt somewhat like the suppression and impact of energy, whereas this merely made his entire body heavier.

Sure enough, at that moment, a black Soul Ring lit up on the ground beneath the middle-aged man's feet, though it seemed utterly inconspicuous.

"This is a Soul Skill that controls Gravity?"

Ning Tian was well-informed and immediately guessed the effect of the Soul Skill, but Chen Junting beside her refuted part of it.

"Gravity over such a large area already makes this a domain-type Soul Skill. As for controlling Gravity, even a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring couldn't be this exaggerated. This teacher's Soul Skill should only strengthen Gravity."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Jin spoke up.

She directly explained that their task that afternoon was to carry out weighted runs while enduring the Gravity. Everyone had to run until they could no longer continue. However, they could not use their Martial Souls, Soul Bones, Soul Tools, and so on...

This was to test everyone's endurance under normal conditions.

Thus, upon receiving the order, all of Class Nine began moving.

At the very beginning, most of the students did not take the Gravity imposed over this area of the Plaza seriously. After slightly adapting to it, they could move freely.

They even had spare energy to chat and joke around.

Only a few people remained silent.

These people were undoubtedly all the heirs of major powers.

As time passed, people gradually began to lose their strength.

Those who collapsed were taken away by Mu Jin. After she gave each of them a packet of herbs and a sheet of paper, she let them leave.

In the end, only Chen Junting remained in the entire Plaza.

The middle-aged brawny man standing beside Mu Jin brightened at this sight. He could not help looking at Mu Jin and saying in a congratulatory tone, "Teacher Mu Jin, congratulations! I didn't expect that among this year's freshmen, Class Nine would also have such a promising student."

"Teacher Zhao, Class Nine has more than just one promising student." Mu Jin accepted Teacher Zhao's praise without revealing anything, then smoothly changed the subject. "But Teacher Zhao, you mentioned other promising students just now. I wonder who else there is?"

After all, it was difficult for the ten Class Teachers to obtain information about the freshmen in other classes. They would probably only hear some rumors in the days before the Freshman Assessment began. Of course, Chen Junting from her own class was different. He had long since become an open secret.

"Haha, it seems Teacher Mu Jin is very interested."

Teacher Zhao did not mind Mu Jin's inquiries. After all, he was not the Class Teacher in charge of these freshmen, so the performance competition among the Class Teachers could not affect him. Since Mu Jin had asked, he simply told her.

Before long, Mu Jin learned about Xie Huanyue from Freshman Class Two and Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu from Freshman Class Five.

Xie Huanyue was a Defense System Soul Elder.

That did not worry her.

But Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu...

With the surnames Dai and Zhu, Mu Jin only had to think carefully to associate them with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and the Star Luo Zhu Family, as well as the famous Martial Soul Fusion Skill passed down through generations—the Hell White Tiger.

"There really is going to be a Martial Soul Fusion Skill..."

Mu Jin looked at Chen Junting, who still had not stopped walking, and the worry in her heart suddenly weakened considerably. So what if they had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill? If they could not use it, what difference was there between having one and not having one?

The instant Chen Junting stopped walking,

the final endurance test came to an end.

Chen Junting did not leave in a hurry. Instead, after the Gravity dissipated, he walked laps around the Plaza. Seeing this, Mu Jin handed him the paper and herbs in her hands.

Chen Junting took a closer look. The paper contained his six-dimensional rating, all of which had received the highest evaluation. At the bottom was also a training regimen Mu Jin had specially designed for him.

However, at the very end, she had added one sentence:

"This training method is for reference only."

"Eh! None of us has that line."

After handing him the items, Mu Jin had merely offered a few words of encouragement before leaving. Thus, Ning Tian and the others had also walked over. Among the five of them, Wu Feng was the fastest. She hurried to his side and began looking at Chen Junting's six-dimensional rating.

However, when they saw that Chen Junting had received the highest rating in every category, Wu Feng and Wang Dong led the others in subconsciously inhaling sharply in unison. Soon, though, they felt it was only natural and returned to normal.

What attracted them even more was the final sentence.

After Wu Feng read it aloud, Chen Junting could not help feeling a little surprised. When he tried to glance at the contents of Wu Feng's paper from the corner of his eye, she noticed in time, and he only caught a few scattered lines.

For example: strengthen your techniques and reaction speed; do not charge recklessly... Even this alone was enough to make Chen Junting laugh.

How should he put it?

Brilliant! It could not have been more brilliant!

Wu Feng, embarrassed and enraged, immediately tried to fight Chen Junting to the death. Thus, while blocking Wu Feng, Chen Junting could only change the subject. "What? None of you has this line?"

As soon as he said this, everyone shook their heads in unison.

"I don't know about that."

Chen Junting did not want to dwell on it. Thus, he called for everyone to return to the dormitory and bathe first. As for the herbs, he exchanged one packet for each of them.

It was not that the packets Teacher Mu Jin had given them were inadequate. Rather, Chen Junting's herb packets were all top-grade. In terms of quality, they were considerably better than what Mu Jin had prepared for all the students in Class Nine.

"Here, you two take some as well."

Chen Junting was not stingy with Dugu Xin and Wang Dong either.

"Mm—these are all rare goods."

Dugu Xin only had to take a simple sniff to identify the herbs' general nature. With a little examination, he could tell that their effects were countless times better than those of the previous packet.

"These wouldn't count as rare goods in our Sect."

At these words, Dugu Xin could not help laughing awkwardly.

He had nearly forgotten that his roommate was from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Rare goods? To them, these were ordinary goods.

In the days that followed, Mu Jin began conducting targeted combat training for everyone in Class Nine according to the training plan she had arranged after the tests. Although these targeted special training sessions made everyone in Class Nine miserable, not a single person gave up, because all of them improved to some degree.

At a suitable opportunity, Chen Junting also copied the Meditation Method for cultivating spiritual power that Electrolux had given him from his Sea of Spirit and handed it to Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Huo Yuhao.

Ning Tian did not ask any questions about it.

Everyone had their own secrets. In any case, her Brother Junting would never harm her or the Sect.

After cultivating the Meditation Method for spiritual power, the improvement in Ning Tian and Wu Feng could not be seen clearly. Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, had his Spiritual Detection range directly increase to fifty meters after cultivating it!

This gave Ning Tian quite a pleasant surprise. The more outstanding Huo Yuhao was, the higher the return on her investment would be.

As of now,
