In the spacious assessment hall.
Sheng Yao, the examiner sent by the Pill Tower, stepped onto the alchemy platform and immediately waved his hand toward the open space at its center.
As a burst of jet-black light flashed, a half-man-tall stone stele, its entire body seemingly carved from black crystal, instantly appeared atop the platform.
"This is the tool for your first test. Do you see the raised circular disc beneath this crystal stele? The five of you taking the assessment must place your hands on the testing disc and inject your Soul Power into it."
"This will test the strength of your soul power. Your soul strength will appear on this crystal stele in numerical form, and the final rankings will be determined by the size of those values!"

"Which of you five will go first?"
"I will!"
Hearing Sheng Yao's words, the Dan Family youth named Dan Xuan laughed heartily. He stepped forward, walked to the black crystal stele, and placed his hand on the raised circular disc beneath it.
"Hah!"
With a low shout, Dan Xuan focused his mind and injected the Soul Power within the body into the testing disc on the black crystal stele before him.
As Dan Xuan's Soul Power poured in, countless silver streaks immediately emerged across the black crystal stele.
The countless silver streaks continuously flowed over the black crystal stele, gathering in the area above the testing disc before finally forming a line of silver numbers: 903!
"Dan Family, Dan Xuan, Soul Power test value: 903!"
Upon seeing Dan Xuan's result, Sheng Yao announced it loudly. A trace of appreciation could not help
