Freakish Stats

One hundred and twenty-five points of spiritual power. Nan Fusheng had calculated it carefully. If he had truly revealed all of his spiritual power, the number would naturally have been much higher.

Still, Nan Fusheng chose to keep a low profile. After all, the last time he had been tested, his spiritual power had only been ninety-two points. If it suddenly skyrocketed by too much this time, all his previous concealment would have been meaningless.

Though, strictly speaking, his current behavior was hardly low-key either. But there was nothing he could do about that. In the previous Class Promotion Tournament and now in Zero Class, this gathering place for resources, his performance had been a little too ordinary.

If he did not reveal something special about himself next, he might even be kicked out. That was something Nan Fusheng could not accept.

Besides, Tang Wulin's sudden surge in spiritual power had set a precedent, and Gu Yue's spiritual power test would come afterward. While displaying his value, he would not attract too much attention.

Though he had not seen it yet, Nan Fusheng believed that Gu Yue's spiritual power score would definitely surpass his. It was a kind of instinctive intuition.

The last one to sit on the machine was naturally Gu Yue.

Sure enough, Gu Yue's spiritual power rapidly crossed the white line and entered the yellow zone.

One hundred and fifty-three. That was Gu Yue's final test result.

This... this was practically defying the heavens, wasn't it? Let alone at Eastsea Academy, there was probably no Soul Master anywhere on the entire continent who could reach this level of spiritual power at such an age.

Human spiritual power increased along with the growth of the body. Up until the age of forty, it would rise by a fixed amount every year due to physical development. After forty, ordinary people began to decline. Soul Masters, however, could extend this period of continual spiritual power growth until the age of sixty.

Gu Yue was only nine years old, just like them! A nine-year-old little Soul Master whose spiritual power had boldly reached more than one hundred and fifty points in the Spirit Connection Realm—by the time she graduated from the Intermediate Division, would she break through into the Spirit Sea Realm, the boundary that distinguished powerful Soul Masters from ordinary ones?

The Spirit Sea Realm: a mind like an ocean, vast and boundless. Spiritual power had truly reached the high levels, forming the foundation of becoming strong. Whether one was a peak Mecha Master or a peak Soul Master, reaching this level of spiritual power was essential. It could support up to five yellow Soul Spirits, or three purple Soul Spirits, or one Black Soul Spirit.

Spirit Sea Realm spiritual power could even support a Soul Master's continued cultivation up to the six-ring, or even seven-ring realm. It was an unavoidable path for powerful Soul Masters.

At that moment, Xie Xie's heart had completely collapsed. After three months of training, why had everyone else's spiritual power been shooting up by dozens and dozens of points?

Why was I the only one who had increased by just two points? Were we really learning the same things?

As if he had not seen their expressions, Wu Zhangkong said, "Next, strength testing."

The order of the strength test had also been carefully arranged. Gu Yue went first.

Compared to her powerful spiritual power, Gu Yue's strength once again nearly blinded everyone.

The strength test only measured the direct striking power of both fists. It did not measure load-bearing capacity or endurance.

Because only attack power had any meaning to Soul Masters.

Bang! Left fist, one hundred and fifteen kilograms.

What the hell... Zhang Yangzi nearly dropped onto the floor. Wasn't she an Elemental Control Soul Master? Wasn't she only nine years old? What was with strength of over one hundred kilograms?

Xie Xie reacted much the same way, even shuddering slightly.

Gu Yue turned around and gave Xie Xie a cold glance, one eyebrow lifting slightly.

Xie Xie swallowed and turned to look elsewhere. This was also the first time he had learned that Gu Yue's strength was this... terrifying!

Bang! Right fist, one hundred and forty-three kilograms.

Zhang Yangzi and Xie Xie nearly burst into tears at the same time. Could she leave them some room to live? Was this even a girl? She was practically a female tyrannosaurus!

A flash of surprise also passed through Wu Zhangkong's eyes. "Next, Zhang Yangzi."

Bang! Left hand, sixty-one kilograms.

Bang! Right hand, sixty-nine kilograms.

As a two-ring Soul Master, his physical condition was naturally much stronger than that of an ordinary person. Combined with his speed enhancement, reaching these numbers was fairly average.

Zhang Yangzi had never thought his strength was lacking. After all, he relied more on his special ability attributes. But after seeing the strength of a multi-element controller today, then looking at his own, all he wanted to do was cry.

"Xie Xie!"

Bang! Left hand, one hundred and fifty-three kilograms.

Bang! Right hand, one hundred and sixty-four kilograms.

Wiping nonexistent sweat from his forehead, Xie Xie let out a breath of relief. At least he was a little stronger than Gu Yue. Though he was an Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master, he was also a Twin Martial Souls wielder. Twin Martial Souls naturally enhanced the body more than a single Martial Soul, so his strength was quite formidable.

"Nan Fusheng!"

Bang! Left hand, nine hundred and fifty kilograms.

Bang! Right hand, nine hundred and fifty-five kilograms.

The booming echoes rang out as Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin all stared in stunned disbelief.

"Damn, Nan Fusheng is that fierce?"

Xie Xie could not help blurting out a curse. Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi beside him felt the same way. How were Agility Attack System and Power Attack System Soul Masters like them supposed to make a living when a Mental Type Soul Master was this terrifying? Σ(д|||)!

"Wang Jinxi!"

Bang! Left hand, four hundred and twenty-three kilograms.

Bang! Right hand, four hundred and sixty-eight kilograms.

Terrifying numbers. This was powerful strength that exceeded the normal range for a two-ring Power Attack System Battle Soul Master. It was enough to compare with a pure strength-type Battle Soul Master.

The combined power of both arms was already close to one thousand kilograms.

Yet Wang Jinxi, who had produced such excellent results, was beginning to question his life. His strength was only about half that of a one-ring Soul Master—and that Soul Master was even Mental Type.

Though they had not been allowed to use their Martial Souls, this was still far too devastating.

Xie Xie looked at him with some sympathy. He and Zhang Yangzi were both Agility Attack-type Soul Masters, so it was not a big deal if their strength was lower. But Wang Jinxi was Power Attack System. The blow he had suffered was on an entirely different level.

"Tang Wulin."

Wu Zhangkong looked toward Tang Wulin. Naturally, he had his own measure of everyone, and the testing order had been arranged according to his estimated rankings from low to high. Gu Yue and Nan Fusheng's strength had both exceeded his expectations.

Gu Yue was one thing. Strength of more than one hundred kilograms was surprising, but that was all. But what was going on with Nan Fusheng? More than nine hundred kilograms of strength—most Power Attack System Soul Elders might not even be able to produce such numbers.

During their previous training, he had noticed that Nan Fusheng's physique was very strong, but he had only assumed it was about the same as Tang Wulin's. After all, in battle, Nan Fusheng mostly controlled things from the rear and had almost no opportunities to fight directly.

He had not expected this test to give him such a huge surprise.
