"I'll go!"
Seeing Du Ze step up,
Comparing yourself to others was just asking for frustration.
Compared to the average student, Lu Piao had every reason to be proud — a thirteen-year-old Bronze Three Star Demon Spirit Master. But next to Du Ze, the gap was enormous. They'd started cultivating at the same time, yet Du Ze had already left Lu Piao far behind.
Du Ze stopped in front of the Strength Testing Stone. His young but mature face was calm as he clenched his fist and slammed a heavy punch into the stone.
*Boom!*
A muffled impact, far heavier than Lu Piao's earlier strike, shook the entire Strength Testing Stone.
"Result: Bronze Five Star, strength five hundred." The instructor checking the readings sucked in a cold breath. What was going on today? The beginner Warrior apprentice class was producing one monster after another. First they'd tested a thirteen-year-old Bronze Three Star prodigy, and now a Bronze Five Star?
The surroundings fell deathly silent. Du Ze was actually an even more terrifying existence than Lu Piao!
In the distance, the other students wore expressions of utter devastation. How was this possible? They were so demoralized they didn't even have the courage to try the test anymore.
As for the academy's senior officials on the viewing platform, they couldn't help but breathe heavily. A thirteen-year-old Bronze Five Star — how many years had it been since Holy Spirit Academy had seen a genius of this caliber?
"Don't you dare compete with me — he's my disciple!"
"Vice Headmaster, how can you be so heartless? When it comes to the Warrior's path, I'm confident I can teach better than anyone. Please, Vice Headmaster, let me take him!" An elder with completely white hair and beard hurriedly spoke up.
"With talent this extraordinary, do you really think his abilities will be limited to just the Warrior's path?" A brilliant light shone in Ye Sheng's eyes.
"No need for a second test," Du Ze said flatly, turning to walk toward the distance, intending to test his Demon Spirit Power next.
"You really don't want a second try?" the instructor called after him. "If you tested again, you might break past five hundred!" The instructor was quite eager to see it.
But the only response was the youth's cold, retreating back. Du Ze's voice drifted back slowly: "That was already the most power I can exert."
"So that's how it is!" The instructor nodded slightly. That number was already astonishing. If it had been any stronger, he'd practically be at Silver level — a Silver rank powerhouse at thirteen. That was just too unbelievable.
Du Ze picked up the Soul Crystal and channeled his Soul Power into it. The Soul Crystal blazed with radiance as white specks of light gathered and multiplied inside.
The basic Soul Crystal blazed like a tiny, blazing sun.
*Boom!*
The basic Soul Crystal shattered, crashing to the ground.
"It exploded?!"
"Hss! That's insane!"
"His strength reached five hundred, and his Soul Power is even more monstrous!"
"Good heavens, this is absolutely ridiculous!"
A basic Soul Crystal could only contain up to six hundred Soul Power. Anything beyond that limit, and it would explode. Normally, basic class tests all used basic Soul Crystals, and it seemed like a basic Soul Crystal had never exploded before — not even when Lord
The way everyone looked at Du Ze changed completely. Du Ze had shattered their understanding of what was possible. Could it be that the
Vice Principal Ye Sheng was silent for a moment before speaking. "I will personally report this matter to the Principal and Lord Ye Mo. Du Ze will be placed under special protection. A talent of this caliber is probably beyond even my ability to teach. I will consult Lord Ye Mo directly to find a suitable mentor for him!"
His strength had reached five hundred, and his Soul Power exceeded five hundred as well. Du Ze had left everyone in a state of profound shock.
"Vice Principal, should I swap out the Soul Crystal?" The instructor in charge of the examination looked toward Ye Sheng, his voice trembling as he transmitted the question.
"No need!" Ye Sheng shook his head. "I will have the esteemed lords test his Soul Power personally!" Besides having the esteemed lords conduct the test themselves, Du Ze also needed to be placed under protection — otherwise, if the
"Understood!" The instructor in charge glanced at Du Ze and said with great respect, "Your test is complete!" A youth like this — no one could predict how far his achievements might go. Could he become the next Legendary Demon Spirit Master?
The test was over? Du Ze was mildly surprised, then nodded and stepped to the side.
At this moment, the vast majority of students gazed at Du Ze with a mixture of awe and reverence. This person could very well become a future Legendary Demon Spirit Master!
