The surrounding students all stared at Qi Yuan in horror.
"What? Qi Yuan was the one who did that to Yang Di? Is he really that strong?"
"Is that the point? The point is that Yang Di belongs to the Yang Family!"
Zhou Hua's eyes widened too. Then he sneered repeatedly. "Qi Yuan really is brainless. He dares to offend anyone!!"
Qi Yuan, however, frowned. "He tried to rob me first..."
But before he could finish, someone cut him off forcefully.
"I'll ask you one more time. Did you do it?!"
Chakra surged throughout the security officer's body. He was actually a level-one ninja.
He directed his entire aura at Qi Yuan, as though he might attack at any moment.
Yet a cold smile appeared on Qi Yuan's lips. Is he here to give me enhancement points?
"So what if I did??"
His tone was as icy as a freezer, making everyone present widen their eyes.
"Qi Yuan is so gutsy!! Where does he get his confidence? Isn't he asking to die?"
The security officer suddenly felt a pang of dread from Qi Yuan's eyes, and most of his overbearing air immediately dissipated.
Students had always been as meek and frightened as little lambs. This one was completely different.
His teammates, however, did not think so. "You little brat! How dare you talk to us like that?"
As they spoke, they actually moved to seize Qi Yuan and haul him off to the security office!!
"Stop!!"
Teacher Geng walked over from the testing room, his expression dark.
"You security officers certainly have quite a temper, coming to the testing center to cause trouble!!"
"And no matter what he's done, no one has the right to deprive him of his chakra affinity test right now!!"
The security officer said grimly, "Teacher Geng, this has nothing to do with you. This Qi Yuan offended someone from the Yang Family. You'd better weigh your options!!"
Not only did the Yang Family hold absolute sway over Shangcheng, but even a board member of Shangcheng No. 1 Middle School belonged to the Yang Family.
Teacher Geng's eyes were piercing as he released a surge of level-three chakra.
"I'll say it again. Stand back!!"
The security officers' expressions changed. Most of them were only level-one ninjas, certainly no match for Teacher Geng.
Just then, a tall man stepped out from among the security officers, emanating an aura that was actually no weaker than Teacher Geng's.
"Since you've put it that way, Teacher Geng, I ought to show you some respect."
"Let him take the test. It'll only take a minute anyway."
Teacher Geng's expression changed. "Security Chief Qian Guang??"
Qian Guang waved at his subordinates, then gave Qi Yuan an icy look.
"We won't interfere with your work, Teacher Geng, but I hope you won't obstruct us again once the test is over."
Teacher Geng had good connections at the school, and his daughter apparently had considerable talent.
Even with the Yang Family backing him, Qian Guang had to show Teacher Geng some respect.
Teacher Geng heard the threat in his words.
He snorted, then looked at Qi Yuan.
"Qi Yuan, it's your turn!"
Teacher Geng was on friendly terms with Yan Gang and knew how overbearing Yang Di and his group were, so he naturally favored Qi Yuan.
But this was as much as he could do. He would be powerless to help with what came next.
Qi Yuan smiled at Teacher Geng. Although he was not afraid of these security officers, he would remember the favor.
Qi Yuan walked calmly up to the machine and put on the helmet.
Teacher Geng soon pressed the switch.
"Hmph! Let's see just what this Qi Yuan amounts to!!"
"How could someone like him compare to you, Young Master Zhou!"
The security officers also watched coldly from the sidelines, waiting to hold Qi Yuan accountable as soon as the test ended.
Under everyone's gaze, the number on the screen kept changing.
1, 2, 3, 4...
In the blink of an eye, the number on the screen had already passed 30, and even after passing 30, it continued climbing at a furious pace.
The expressions of those who had initially paid it no mind began to change.
"This..."
40...
50...
"Holy shit, it's reached 50! Qi Yuan can already enter the Planetary Space?"
"It's still going up! Good grief!!"
Zhou Hua's expression grew uglier and uglier, his eyes wide.
Wang Ke's expression also changed, revealing disbelief.
The tall, slender Geng PePe Waccabrada also looked curious.
55...
60...
70...
80...
Everyone watched in shock, many of their voices trembling.
Wang Ke could no longer maintain his composure, his eyes widening!
"How is this possible?"
"It's past 80! Just like Wang Ke, not only can he enter the Planetary Space, but he can also enter the middle three floors of the Inheritance Tower."
"Those are the middle three floors! He's certain to obtain a Kekkei Genkai. Qi Yuan is the real dark horse!!"
Even Teacher Geng, who was administering the test, stared at the display with bright eyes and some excitement.
"It's still rising??"
"Is a super genius about to rise?"
"He's even surpassed Geng PePe Waccabrada! My god!"
90, 100, 110...
Finally, the number stopped at 121, and for a brief moment, the surroundings fell utterly silent.
Then an enormous uproar erupted!!
"121! Forget Geng PePe Waccabrada-it's even higher than the 108 Lin Lei from the year above scored last year!!"
"He obtained the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai! Qi Yuan's score is even higher, so his chances can only be greater!!"
"Big news! A super genius is about to rise!!"
Zhou Hua stared blankly at everything, his body trembling nonstop.
Wang Ke also clenched his fists tightly, his expression somewhat twisted.
Geng PePe Waccabrada's eyes widened, but she soon clenched her little fists. "I never expected Qingqing's younger brother to be this impressive. But it's only a temporary lead. Who will win is still undecided!!"
She was close to Yan Qingqing, yet she had never known that Qi Yuan possessed such exceptional talent!
"H-how is this possible!"
The security officers looked grim.
"What do we do? With talent that high, how would we dare take him in?"
"But this guy offended the Yang Family. It'll be hard to explain ourselves to them!"
Their leader, Security Chief Qian Guang, looked dark. "So what if he's a genius? Compared to the Yang Family, he's still a nobody."
"We can't offend the Yang Family over him!!"
"Qi Yuan, now that your test is over, please come with me to the security office."
Teacher Geng stepped forward, blocking Qi Yuan as he coldly surveyed the security officers.
"I've heard about what happened to Yang Di too. They brought it all on themselves."
But the security officers did not care about any of that now. The Yang Family paid their wages, so they had to take good care of even the Yang Family's cats and dogs.
Qian Guang's eyes flew wide as he stared coldly at Teacher Geng and Qi Yuan behind him.
Yet he discovered that Qi Yuan was looking calmly at him, with what even seemed to be a trace of encouragement in his eyes!!
He froze for a moment.
Then Qian Guang's expression suddenly changed again as powerful chakra approached from afar.
"What an imposing security department! You actually intend to humiliate a genius of our Shangcheng No. 1 Middle School??"
Everyone's expression changed dramatically as a middle-aged man in formal attire walked over, his face dark.
"That's Vice Principal Qin, a peak level-three ninja!!"
"What's he doing here? I get it! Qi Yuan must have drawn the school leadership's attention!!"
"Of course! A chakra affinity of 121 is rare even across all of Yu Province."
"Qi Yuan is going places! Damn it, I didn't try to get closer to him before."
The middle-aged man emanated a dangerous aura, then roared, "You security officers are completely out of line! Get the hell out of here!!"
