Meng Shenji stepped forward, his withered fingers resting on Ning Rongrong's slender wrist.
A stream of pure spiritual power seeped in through his fingertips, slowly probing along the patterns of her bones.
Bone density, growth plate condition, the traces of Soul Power deposits in her marrow.
Every indicator appeared clearly within his perception.
There was only one answer.
Meng Shenji's eyes widened sharply.
"That's right!"
He practically roared it. His voice exploded through the Education Committee Hall, making even the wall-mounted candleholders tremble.
