"He actually passed this round?" Sun Tao was taken aback.
Xu Yang shook his head. "His grandfather is the Peak Master of Medicine King Peak, after all. His temperament might be lacking, but his bone root has been refined through all kinds of medicinal baths since childhood. His body must have been tempered well."
Before long, another familiar figure stepped forward. It was Ye Qiuling.
This woman was deeply calculating. For the sake of the second Dragon Ascension, she had spared no effort in courting one genius after another. But having a few powerful allies was not enough for the second Dragon Ascension. She needed a certain amount of strength herself.
With a sharp cry, Ye Qiuling punched out, leaving a fist impression an inch deep in the Spirit Stele.
"She really passed!" Sun Tao looked surprised again.
"Without some strength of her own, why would she harbor such towering ambitions?" Xu Yang said with a smile.
Ye Qiuling was no fool. Naturally, she knew she could not enter the Heavenly Strategy Academy by relying on others alone. She must have possessed considerable strength herself to be willing to sacrifice her reputation as she flitted among the geniuses.
More people stepped forward. Liu Rumei left a fist impression two inches deep in the Spirit Stele, while Zhang Jun managed an inch and a half.
"Gentlemen, I'll go test how hard this Spirit Stele is."
Gu Qingfeng could no longer restrain himself either. He stepped forward for the test and achieved nearly four and a half inches, slightly better than Huo Xiaochेन.
"Junior Brother Xu, aren't you going up yet?" Sun Tao was growing restless too.
"Senior Brother Sun, you go first," Xu Yang said with a smile.
Going sooner or later made no difference, so he was in no hurry.
