"Attack Power Testing Tablet?"
Su Mo asked with some curiosity, "Then how do we know the specific attack power?"
"It's very simple. Do you see the crystals on the stone tablet? These crystals are the data. Lighting up one crystal requires five hundred catties of strength, which is one tiger strength. However many tiger strengths your attack has, that many crystals will light up."
Li Feng said.
Su Mo shook his head and said, "One crystal is one tiger strength. Isn't this margin of error a bit too big? If two people's attack powers are not much different, wouldn't their attack powers be the same?"
"Ignorant and ill-informed!"
Hearing this, Li Feng sneered and said, "Each of these five crystals has five different colors, which are yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. The yellow light represents one hundred catties of strength, and the next few colors each increase the strength by one hundred catties. For example, if you possess four thousand three hundred catties of strength, you can light up nine crystals. The first eight will all light up with purple light, and the ninth crystal will light up with cyan light."
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Su Mo nodded with a smile. This attack power testing tablet was quite interesting, and he wondered who had designed it.
"How about it? Do you dare to wager? If you don't dare, just pretend I said nothing."
Li Feng's expression was arrogant.
"If you want to wager, of course we can. However, wouldn't it be even more interesting if we added a little stakes?"
Su Mo smiled. One could tell at a glance that Li Feng came from a prominent lineage, and his family fortunes must be substantial.
Since the other party wanted to wager, he didn't mind squeezing some grease and water out of him.
"Stakes? Heh, it seems you're quite confident!" Li Feng's eyes brightened as he smiled, "Good, since you want to send me money, of course I won't refuse. Then how about we bet twenty thousand liang of gold?"
Su Mo was surprised. Li Feng was so extravagant, casually throwing out twenty thousand liang of gold.
"Fine, I'll take that bet."
Actually, Su Mo was currently dirt poor. He had no spirit stones left, his money was spent, and he only had a little over a thousand liang of gold on him now.
However, a gambling duel didn't necessarily require stake money, because this was a guaranteed winning bet.
Because Li Feng was not a Spirit Martial Realm expert, he was only at the Qi Refining Realm. Among Qi Refining Realm martial artists, there shouldn't be many whose attack power could surpass his.
"Alright, I'll go first. Keep your eyes open and watch!"
Li Feng looked confident, parted the crowd, and walked up to the stone tablet.
Hah!
With a loud shout, Li Feng's aura burst forth, and his entire body's momentum soared.
"Such a powerful momentum! That's the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation!"
"Impressive! Among the newly entered disciples this time, there aren't many with the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation."
The crowd erupted in a commotion, discussing amongst themselves.
These disciples gathered around the testing tablet were basically new disciples, and all of them were quite curious about the testing tablet, so they came to watch.
Among the five hundred new disciples admitted this time, the vast majority were at Qi Cultivation Level Seven and Qi Cultivation Level Eight, while those at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation were very few. As for disciples of the Spirit Martial Realm, there were only a mere handful.
"Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation?"
Su Mo nodded without much surprise. He had already heard from Niu Xiaohu that Li Feng possessed a Human Grade Seventh Tier Martial Soul, so it was no surprise that he possessed the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation.
"Goldstone Fist!"
At this moment, Li Feng gave a loud roar and smashed a punch fiercely toward the Attack Power Testing Tablet.
Boom!
With an explosive sound, ripples spread across the surface of the testing tablet, and instantly the crystals upon it shone with brilliant light.
One!
Three!
Five!
Eight!
Nine!
After the first nine crystals all lit up with purple light, the tenth crystal flashed twice, and then lit up with blue light.
Four thousand nine hundred catties!
"Senior Brother Li Feng is amazing!" Niu Xiaohu was full of admiration.
The crowd erupted in commotion once again. Ordinary Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation martial artists only possessed nine tiger strengths, but Li Feng actually possessed four thousand nine hundred catties of strength, already approaching ten tiger strengths. His strength was even a fraction stronger than ordinary peak Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation martial artists.
Li Feng looked at Su Mo with a face full of smugness and said, "Su Mo, is there any need to compare anymore? Obediently take out the money!"
In Li Feng's view, aside from Spirit Martial Realm disciples and some disciples who had reached the half-step Spirit Martial Realm, it was simply impossible for anyone else to surpass his current attack power.
"You're at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation and only have four thousand nine hundred catties of strength—you have the nerve to be proud!"
Su Mo shook his head, walked straight up to the stone tablet, channeled his true qi, and struck a punch onto the stone tablet.
Su Mo controlled the power of this punch very well, making it roughly much stronger than a peak Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation martial artist.
Hearing Su Mo's words, Li Feng froze, then wore a face full of disdain. He simply didn't believe that Su Mo's attack power could surpass his.
As Su Mo's fist struck out, the crystals on the testing tablet rapidly blazed with light.
One!
Three!
Five!
Eight!
Ten!
The first ten crystals all bloomed with purple light. At this time, the bright light did not stop; the eleventh crystal lit up with yellow light, and immediately the light rapidly transformed into blue light.
Ten crystals, with the eleventh crystal showing blue light.
Five thousand four hundred catties!
Surpassing ten tiger strengths, approaching eleven tiger strengths.
The crowd was shocked, and the eyes they turned toward Su Mo all carried a trace of awe.
Niu Xiaohu was dumbfounded!
He clearly hadn't expected Su Mo's strength to be this powerful.
Li Feng was also dumbfounded, a look of utter disbelief on his face. What did five thousand four hundred catties mean? It had long since surpassed peak Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation martial artists and chased right after half-step Spirit Martial Realm martial artists.
"Li Feng, hand over the twenty thousand liang of gold!"
Su Mo extended a hand and said with a beaming smile.
"This..."
Li Feng was at a loss for words, and asked with a gloomy face, "Su Mo, how could you possibly have such strong attack power? This defies reason!"
With the same cultivation level, Su Mo had a whole tiger strength more than him, something Li Feng, who had always fancied himself a genius, could not accept.
Li Feng didn't know that Su Mo was at the peak Qi Cultivation Level Eight, and mistakenly thought Su Mo was at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation. If he knew the truth, he probably wouldn't be able to accept it even more.
"Li Feng, you are also a genius. You should know that geniuses cannot be measured by conventional logic!"
Su Mo teased.
Hmph!
Li Feng immediately choked on his words, his face flushing red. The word "genius" coming from Su Mo made his ears burn with exceptional harshness!
"Fine! I admit defeat since I lost!"
Li Feng turned out to be quite straightforward. Losing meant losing; he didn't renege on his debt, and directly fished out twenty thousand liang of gold notes and handed them to Su Mo.
Su Mo was overjoyed. With these twenty thousand liang of gold, he could purchase some beast souls within the sect for his martial soul to devour.
"Scram, all of you!"
At this moment, a fierce roar suddenly came from behind the crowd, and instantly a Spirit Martial Realm momentum surged over violently, sending everyone stumbling in all directions and hurriedly clearing the way.
On the scene, only Su Mo and Li Feng stood completely motionless.
Su Mo turned around to look, and the newcomer was a black-clad youth with a hooked nose and an evil expression.
"Wu Kui? What do you mean by this?"
Li Feng said coldly, evidently recognizing this person.
"Yo-ho, and who did I think it was! So it was you, this trash."
When the black-clad youth saw Li Feng, his face was full of mockery.
"Wu Kui, don't push people too far." Li Feng said angrily.
Wu Kui smiled disdainfully and said, "A defeated opponent still dares to shout and holler in front of me? Scram quickly, or don't blame me for being polite!"
"You..."
Li Feng's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, but in the end, he still helplessly walked off to the side.
Wu Kui was an extremely dangerous figure, and even he didn't dare to offend the other party right now.
Hmm?
Seeing that there was still someone standing in his path without moving aside, Wu Kui's face instantly darkened, and he spat out a single cold word: "Scram!"
