Displaying Strength

The martial arts stone lit up, but it was a rather dim red light. Li Yao's expression instantly turned very unsightly.

"Organ Refining Realm, vital energy inferior."

The old man glanced at him and said blandly.

Then it was Lin Yu's turn.

Lin Yu took a deep breath, cut his finger, and dripped blood on the martial arts stone. The martial arts stone flashed, showing a stable and bright red light.

"Organ Refining Realm, vital energy superior, very good."

The Black Robe Elder's voice carried a rare hint of praise.

Lin Yu bowed slightly, stepped aside, and had a confident smile on his face.

Basically, all the reserve team members were of medium vital energy, which was considered average.

A few had inferior vital energy, which meant their talent was lacking.

"Next!"

As the old man announced, Qin Bo walked up.

It was the familiar finger-cutting part again.

Qin Bo cut his finger and dripped blood on the martial arts stone.

In an instant, the martial arts stone shone brightly, and an extremely dazzling blood-red light soared into the sky.

It was several times stronger than the light stimulated by Zhou Ruixue and Lin Yu before.

In the light, there was a faint sound of dragon's roar and tiger's howl, as if it contained endless power, and even the air around the square vibrated.

"This... this kind of vital energy is simply unheard of!"

The Black Robe Elder's eyes widened, his face full of shock.

The other deacons were also stunned on the spot.

They had been in the Demon Suppressing Division for many years and had seen countless martial artists with extraordinary talents, but it was the first time they had seen such a powerful vital energy as Qin Bo's.

"This boy has unlimited potential, and his future achievements are immeasurable!"

One of the deacons came back to his senses and couldn't help but admire.

The young martial artists in the square were in an uproar. Some showed envy, while others had disbelief on their faces.

A hint of surprise and admiration flashed in Zhou Ruixue's eyes.

Li Yao's face became even more ugly, his heart filled with jealousy and regret. He had underestimated Qin Bo before.

"Body Refining peak, vital energy super!"

The Black Robe Elder announced excitedly, his voice trembling slightly.

This result undoubtedly made Qin Bo the focus of attention in this assessment. "What's your name?!"

The Black Robe Elder asked excitedly.

"Junior Qin Bo, greetings, Elder."

"Good, good, good, Qin Bo, you have super vital energy, and your future martial arts path is immeasurable."

"I announce that you have directly passed the assessment and do not need to participate in the following assessments."

Qin Bo was stunned. Not participate in the assessment?!

That won't do. He heard that the third round of assessment was a real battle.

That is to say, he needs to face anomalies in actual combat.

Even mosquito meat is still meat.

He wouldn't let go of this opportunity.

So he opened his mouth and said.

"Elder, I still want to participate in the assessment. I don't want to be treated specially!"

When the Black Robe Elder heard this, he nodded immediately.

"Good, avoid arrogance and rashness. You're a real character."

"I won't force you either."

At this time, the other martial artists participating in the assessment in the square also completed their vital energy tests one after another, and the assessment entered the second round.

Although it is said to be the second round, it is actually just to show one's abilities in order to allocate the subsequent affiliations.

Among the Demon Suppressing Division are talisman masters, doctors, spirit controllers, and so on.

"Second round of assessment."

"Talent display."

As soon as the Black Robe Elder finished announcing, a young martial artist couldn't wait to stand up.

He quickly formed hand seals with both hands and chanted words.

A moment later, a talisman emitting a faint light appeared before him.

Runes flickered on the talisman, with faint currents of lightning power flowing through it.

"I specialize in the Dao of talismans. This is a Thunderstorm Talisman I made, and its power can injure Resentful level anomalies in the later stages,"

the young martial artist said confidently.

The black-robed elder nodded slightly, "Not bad. Your understanding of runes is quite profound. If nurtured, you will surely become an excellent talisman master in the future."

Next, another martial artist demonstrated his ability to concoct healing elixirs.

Someone else summoned a small resentful ghost, showcasing the talent of a Spirit Master.

The resentful ghost summoned by the Spirit Master was surrounded by a faint gray mist. Although small in size, it exuded a sinister aura.

With just a glance from the Spirit Master, the resentful ghost instantly disappeared from its spot.

The next moment, it appeared next to a stone pillar at the edge of the plaza. With a wave of its hands, the stone pillar collapsed with a loud crash, demonstrating considerable offensive power.

"Precise control, and the resentful ghost's strength is also decent. If you cultivate the art of Spirit Mastery well, you will surely play a significant role in the Demon Suppressing Division in the future,"

the black-robed elder commented.

It was Zhou Ruixue's turn.

She drew her sword.

"Martial artist! Swordsmanship."

As soon as Zhou Ruixue finished speaking, a chilling sword intent erupted from her. Her sword shimmered with a clear, cold light, as if it had gathered the frost of the heavens and earth. With a light step, she moved like lightning, instantly dancing across the plaza.

She displayed a set of exquisite swordsmanship, the sword flowers flashing, each strike carrying a sharp sword aura.

"Not bad, worthy of being City Lord Zhou's daughter. Such a solid foundation."

After Zhou Ruixue finished her demonstration, the elder gave his evaluation.

"Thank you, Elder."

"Yes, go down first! Next."

Soon, Lin Yu also jumped up.

"Martial artist, spear technique!"

Lin Yu shouted loudly, a long spear already in his hand.

The spear shaft was dark, and the tip of the spear gleamed with a cold light.

He stood firmly, his aura suddenly changing, a heroic and decisive aura rushing towards them.

He took a step forward, and the long spear in his hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea, instantly thrusting out several times.

The spear shadows were layered, each strike carrying great power, tearing the air and emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Immediately afterward, Lin Yu displayed a set of exquisite spear techniques, his body turning as the long spear danced like a whirlwind.

Sometimes it was like a fierce tiger pouncing, powerful and heavy;

Sometimes it was like a spirit snake emerging from its hole, tricky and ruthless.

Light surged on the tip of the spear, with faint flashes of lightning, obviously integrating his own power into the spear technique.

"Good spear technique! This Lin Family's Thunderclap Spear Technique is already quite advanced in his hands. It seems he has put in a lot of effort on weekdays."

The deacon on the side couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's right. If he breaks through to the Blood Condensation Realm, with the blessing of vital energy, its power will increase exponentially."

The crowd in the plaza also cheered. Lin Yu's spear technique was fierce and sharp, yet not lacking in agility, displaying the martial artist's heroism and skill to the fullest.

"Not bad. You are the Lin Family's second young master. To be able to practice this spear technique to this level, it seems you have put in the effort."

The elder praised him without hesitation.

"Next!"

Li Yao then demonstrated his mastery of footwork.

His figure shuttled across the plaza like a ghost, so fast that people only saw afterimages.

Unexpectedly, he, whose vital energy talent was low-grade, actually had such footwork.

"Not bad. It seems your footwork martial skill is very unusual."

This time, the elder also praised him.

Dozens of people kept going up to show their abilities, most of them martial artists.

People with special abilities were always in the minority.

Finally, Qin Bo took the stage.
