Seeing this, Wang Jinxi opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Chen Ye stepped forward.

He looked at Wang Jinxi with an innocent expression, then placed his hand on it.

As the mental power value began soaring wildly at an incredible speed, it first reached 333 points, then 433 points.

When it reached 500 points, the entire mental testing device exploded with a bang.

Looking at the mental testing device that had been blown apart, Wang Jinxi's mouth hung slightly open, leaving him speechless for a moment.

Wu Zhangkong and the others beside him also fell silent. Wu Zhangkong stepped forward and stopped in front of Chen Ye, his gaze sweeping over him.

"Your mental power exceeds 500 points? How is that possible? How can someone your age have such high mental power?!" Wu Zhangkong's tone was filled with disbelief.

After all, mental power above 500 points had already reached the Spirit Sea Realm.

Such mental power was as vast as the sea and could even withstand the vast majority of mental attacks.

For a child not even ten years old to possess such powerful mental strength was simply unbelievable to Wu Zhangkong.

After all, his own mental power was only around one thousand points.

The mental strength of a six-ring Soul Emperor like himself was not much greater than that of a child's, which astonished him greatly.

Seeing the surprise in Wu Zhangkong's eyes, Chen Ye secretly rolled his eyes.

His mental power had already exceeded ten thousand. His innate mental power was high, and it was not as if he could control that.

Fortunately, the device's upper limit was 500. Otherwise, if Wu Zhangkong had brought out one with a limit of one thousand, it would still have exploded when he tested it.

Of course, Chen Ye would have concealed it then. Being treated like a monster was one thing, but if he no longer seemed human, that could easily lead to trouble.

"Uh, I was born a little special. My mental power has always been high," Chen Ye added helplessly.

Wu Zhangkong glanced at him. Though there was a trace of suspicion in his eyes, he did not question him further.

Gu Yue beside them also glanced at him. She had long felt that there was something off about Chen Ye.

Judging from his terrifying mental power, it was likely not merely 500 points. It might even be higher.

However, she could never have guessed that Chen Ye's mental power had already reached the terrifying figure of ten thousand points.

Seeing Chen Ye's frightening mental power, the others' expressions were fairly normal.

After all, their mental power was at least normal. Even Tang Wulin's 66 points counted as relatively high, but Wang Jinxi truly felt as though his corpse had gone cold.

"I only have 18 points of mental power! Why is the gap between people so huge?!"

Compared with Chen Ye's mental power of over 500 points, his own was like that of a kindergarten child.

However, seeing Wang Jinxi's despairing expression, the others found it difficult to comfort him.

After Chen Ye came Na'er. Na'er's tested mental power was 87 points, while Yun Xiao's mental power was exceptionally high, also exceeding 100 points.

Even Gu Yue did not quite understand this.

She herself was the Silver Dragon King, and she used the Elemental Master martial soul, so high mental power was perfectly normal.

But for Yun Xiao's Sun Martial Soul to come with such high mental power was rather difficult to explain.

Noticing everyone's gazes, Yun Xiao awkwardly scratched his head.

Wu Zhangkong gave him a deep look as well, then called everyone over for the strength test.

The strength test was simple. They only needed to strike the testing platform separately with their left and right hands, and it would determine how many kilograms of force they had.

There was not much to say about that.

Other than Chen Ye's Dragon of Imagination and Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King, none of the others excelled at strength.

Among them, only Wang Jinxi's was somewhat higher. The others were not too far apart.

Of course, although Wang Jinxi's was a little higher, it was still limited.

The most surprising one was Tang Wulin, especially when Na'er saw the golden scales on his hand for the first time.

Her gaze initially carried surprise, then turned into shock, and finally settled directly on Gu Yue.

But Gu Yue had clearly known about this long ago, so she said nothing and gave Na'er no hint.

Although Chen Ye's results were slightly worse than Tang Wulin's, they were still not low.

Naturally, he had not gone all out. He was merely putting up a number, so he had only used a fraction of his strength.

Even so, his power was still terrifying.

The testing lasted for three classes. At noon, they returned for another theory class before school finally ended and they went to eat.

However, a new member had joined the meal squad this time: Na'er.

Na'er was Tang Wulin's younger sister and Gu Yue's cousin, so it was only natural for her to come along.

Xie Xie also wanted to join them, but Tang Wulin refused.

Still, he found a seat nearby.

Since one free Grade A meal and the Grade C meals had become free, Tang Wulin still ordered a Grade A meal, then took a huge basin filled to the brim with Grade C food.

Seeing Tang Wulin's enormous basin of food, Xie Xie was just about to mock him.

Then he was shocked to discover that Na'er had also taken a huge basin filled to the brim with top-grade food. He watched the two of them sit there and gorge themselves.

The corner of Xie Xie's mouth twitched. "Na'er, you can really eat. Is... is this normal?"

As Xie Xie spoke, he looked toward Chen Ye and Gu Yue, but the two had long since grown used to it and did not care much.

The atmosphere during lunch had originally been somewhat dull. Chen Ye was not particularly talkative, while Tang Wulin was rather quiet.

As for Gu Yue and Na'er, there was no need to mention them. The two simply could not stand each other.

But after Xie Xie joined them, the atmosphere became much livelier.

Gu Yue and Xie Xie began bickering, while Na'er occasionally took shots at Gu Yue from the side.

Tang Wulin also spoke from time to time. Chen Ye sat there with a faint smile on his face.

Yet although Chen Ye was smiling at that moment,

in a newly rented room not far from there, Yun Luo stood quietly.

A middle-aged man stood before him, dressed in a suit and lightly tapping the table in front of him.

"Why was the old man discovered? Wasn't he hiding well?"

"I clearly told him that Heavenly Phoenix Douluo would be living here long-term and told him to be careful, yet he still got discovered!"

The man's tone was filled with anger. He looked toward Yun Luo, and six soul rings suddenly appeared around him.

Feeling the aura of a Soul Emperor radiating from him, Yun Luo remained calm.

Three purple and two black soul rings appeared around him, and an equally terrifying aura spread outward.

Sensing that Yun Luo was already a Soul King, the man raised his brows, and the anger on his face instantly vanished.

"I told you, I don't know what happened. I faked my death and came out, hiding very well. That old man did not know my identity, which was why I managed to fool him."

Yun Luo's voice was cold, and he spoke without the slightest politeness, yet the man merely smiled at him.

"Fine. I'll leave this place to you, then. I'll apply for you to become an elder of the branch, but forget about becoming an executive at headquarters."

"Of course, if you do a good job as an elder of the branch, you certainly won't be short on benefits."
