Test

Fan Yu quickly noticed the two little ones beside Zhou Yi, walking over to the trio with weary steps.

"Are these the two children with Innate Full Soul Power you mentioned?" Fan Yu crouched down in front of Huo Yuhao, taking one of his hands to hold his wrist while scrutinizing his face—or more accurately, his eyes.

"Correct, and they both registered as one-ring Soul Masters upon enrollment. I figured there wouldn't be any issues, so I brought them straight to you for the test."

"This is the little boy with the Spirit Eye martial soul, right? His eyes do look quite unique, like an ocean reflecting the stars..." Fan Yu remarked, then turned his attention to Dong'er.

"And this one... your martial soul is the Radiant Goddess Butterfly, correct?"

Dong'er nodded.

"It certainly suits the martial soul; you have such a cute and pretty face. If only I could have a daughter as beautiful as this, that would be wonderful."

As Fan Yu spoke, he cast a seemingly casual glance in Zhou Yi's direction.

"Stop with the idle chatter and get on with the test. I still have to prepare lesson plans for next week tonight; I have a mountain of things to do." Zhou Yi rejected Fan Yu's insinuation without mercy, swatting away the hand he had placed on her shoulder.

Fan Yu looked at Zhou Yi with disappointment, but he didn't say anything more, leading the two children to the instrument he had just been debugging.

The entire apparatus looked like a throne made of steel; as long as the subject sat on it and wore the specialized helmet, the tester could see the subject's various test data on the screen to the side.

The items they needed to test were simple: one for biological age, and one for Soul Power Level.

Dong'er sat down first, and Fan Yu placed the specialized helmet on her, adding a reminder: "If you feel any discomfort, say so immediately, and I will stop right away."

Dong'er nodded, and at the same time, Huo Yuhao stepped forward, giving her an encouraging look.

The next moment, following a few faint mechanical sounds, the instrument slowly activated, and several beams of light connected the interior of the helmet to Dong'er's head.

Watching this scene, Huo Yuhao broke into a cold sweat.

The reason was simple: inside Dong'er's head, there was a high probability of a restriction left by Tang San to seal her memories. In his previous life, this restriction would block any power attempting to invade her brain and trigger a violent backlash.

If this instrument's detection mechanism involved the brain... there was a possibility of triggering that restriction.

But if everything proceeded as normal, perhaps it would prove that the Dong'er before him was truly just a girl who happened to share the same face as the one in his memories.

At the same time, Dong'er was actually quite nervous; after all, she didn't know if there was anything hidden in her head. As those beams of light connected her to the helmet, she felt a faint, lingering sense of pain in her mind.

But then she realized that this pain seemed to be nothing more than an illusion. In reality, Dong'er felt nothing special throughout the entire test, at most just a little... itchy?

"Hmm... this is indeed an astonishing result." Fan Yu looked at the results displayed on the operation panel, then back at Dong'er's innocent face.

"Thirteen... little Dong'er, your first soul ring is not simple. It must be at least five or six hundred years old."

"No... at thirteen, seven hundred years isn't impossible, given it's a Radiant Goddess Butterfly."

Fan Yu muttered to himself while exporting the test data into a report, then stapled it to her physical examination form.

"Come, Huo Yuhao, your turn."

"Oh, coming!"

Following Fan Yu's instructions, Huo Yuhao put on the helmet. When the beams connected, he felt the same slight itch in his head as Dong'er had.

However, at this very moment, Tian Meng's voice suddenly appeared.

"Hmm... Yuhao, why do I feel like the Sea of Consciousness is trembling? Is someone visiting?"

The number of times Tian Meng had been awake inside Huo Yuhao's head could be counted on one hand. According to this worm, it was because Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness was far too vast; trying to fully imprint a million-year soul power into it was too draining, requiring long periods of deep sleep.

Most of the time, changes in the outside world wouldn't affect Tian Meng's slumber, but once there was any disturbance in the Sea of Consciousness, he would notice it immediately and wake up.

Just like now, the moment the instrument started, the detection beams created a subtle connection with the Sea of Consciousness, causing Tian Meng to feel it trembling constantly.

"It's nothing, someone is just testing my soul power."

"Is that so? That's strange, how could a soul power test connect to the Sea of Consciousness..." Tian Meng scratched his head, but after probing with his spiritual power, he didn't find anything wrong.

Aside from the occasional tremor in the Sea of Consciousness, it didn't really affect his sleep.

"Forget it, since there's no problem, Brother is going back to sleep."

Just then, as if remembering something, Tian Meng added a reminder:

"By the way, when you grow to level twenty, make sure to wake me up. I'll take you to get something interesting."

With that, Tian Meng's voice fell silent once again.

Huo Yuhao knew exactly what "interesting thing" Tian Meng was referring to: the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, ranked second among the three great kings of the Far North.

In his previous life, with Tian Meng's help, he had pulled the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion into his plan to become a god, making it his second martial soul and soul spirit.

But back then, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion was one of his bargaining chips for entering the ranks of geniuses at Shrek Academy, but now, he no longer needed this extra chip.

If he considered it purely from the perspective of strengthening his own power... Huo Yuhao actually had a better choice.

But that was a matter for later... for now, let's finish this test.

Of course, Huo Yuhao had long known his current soul power, but... when he felt his level after absorbing Tian Meng's soul ring, even he was startled, so much so that until now, besides Tian Meng and himself, no one else knew his true Soul Power Level.

The soul power level on the operation panel gradually appeared. When that number came into Fan Yu's sight, he couldn't help but freeze in place.

Because his body was blocking the view, neither Zhou Yi nor Dong'er could directly see Huo Yuhao's test results.

"Why are you frozen? Say something." Zhou Yi walked up impatiently, pushing Fan Yu aside without ceremony to look at the operation panel.

Then, she too froze in place, just as expected.

She rubbed her eyes, her gaze moving back and forth between Huo Yuhao and the operation panel in disbelief.
