Punching Strength

Shen Yue's volunteering immediately attracted the attention of many.

Within the Fighter Apprentice class, Shen Yue, Ye Ziyun, and Xiao Ning'er were the ones most likely to break through into 1-star Bronze rank. Therefore the attention was all gathered on them. Aside from these, another event that gathered much attention was the bet between Teacher Shen Xiu and Nie Li. However, the majority didn't think that Nie Li would be able to reach 1-star Bronze rank in such a short time.

If reaching 1-star Bronze rank was so easy, then there wouldn't be so many people who were unable to break through that barrier to become a Fighter or Demon Spiritualist for their entire lives.

The Strength Testing Stone was a huge stone that emitted a metallic lustre from it. Fighters could punch the Strength Testing Stone with their full strength. The Strength Testing Stone would dent to a certain degree from the punch. Through the dent, they could tell one's strength.

Boom!

Shen Yue bombarded his fist onto the Strength Testing Stone. A faint dent appeared on the Strength Testing Stone.

Several teachers in charge of measuring results walked over.

"Test result: 1-star Bronze rank, 120 strength!"

This punch from Shen Yue reached a strength of 120.

The students from the Fighter Apprentice class all exclaimed. They never imagined that Shen Yue's body had already reached such a degree. Generally, students who solely practiced soul force had the physical strength quickly increase. However, once they reached Silver rank, the enhancement of their physique would slow down. But even so, Shen Yue's physical strengthening speed was rather fast compared to other students, already reaching 1-star Bronze rank.

Everyone had three tries on the strength test. As for this value of strength, Shen Yue was not quite happy with it. Repositioning himself, he used his full strength and blasted out a punch.

Boom!

Shen Yue once again landed his fist onto the Strength Testing Stone.

"Test result: 1-star Bronze rank, 130 strength!"

"Test result: 1-star Bronze rank, 135 strength!"

After seeing the results, Shen Yue showed a satisfied expression and continued over to the soul force test. Very soon, Shen Yue's soul force test came out: 115 soul force. Under normal circumstances, those who had talent as both a Fighter and a Demon Spiritualist would usually pick to become a Demon Spiritualist. Soul force was way more important than strength.

"Shen Yue's soul force has passed 100. He's already a 1-star Bronze rank Demon Spiritualist!"

"Such fast cultivation, he is indeed a member of the Sacred Family!"

"Powerful! He can definitely enter the Demon Spiritualist Apprentice class!"

"If 1-star Bronze rank Demon Spiritualist still doesn't qualify for it, then no one else would be qualified!"

Hearing the discussion of the onlookers, the corner of Shen Yue's mouth raised. Proudly looking at Nie Li and bunch.

On the stage, a good distance away, several of the institute's higher ups expressed a satisfied smile. For a Demon Spiritualist to appear in the Fighter Apprentice class was quite rare.

Shen Yue crossed his arms and stood far away, surrounded by his lackeys. He proudly swept his gaze passed all the students in the Fighter Apprentice class.

"Who's next?" The teacher in charge looked to the crowd and asked.

"Let me be next!" Lu Piao walked out of the crowd, walking towards the Strength Testing Stone.

The crowd of students began their discussion.

"It's Lu Piao!"

"Lu Piao hasn't been in class for quite some time!"

"I heard that he's together with Nie Li!"

"Lu Piao probably hasn't reached 1-star Bronze rank yet, right? Furthermore, he doesn't have the talent to become a Demon Spiritualist."

Hearing the other students' discussion, Lu Piao threw a smile towards Nie Li, Du Ze, and the trio. These people were wrong and had underestimated them! After practicing Nie Li's cultivation technique, Lu Piao's cultivation had already long surpassed his peers'.

Looking at Shen Yue and his bunch far away, Lu Piao exposed a contemptuous smile, twitching his brows.

"This kid is too cocky! We'll have to teach him a lesson sooner or later!" several underlings next to Shen Yue said.

Shen Yue's eyes slightly squinted, showing a hint of cold light. Now, even Nie Li's followers were challenging them. They simply didn't know how high the skies were!

Under everyone's gaze, Lu Piao walked to towards the Strength Testing Stone. Standing in front of it, Lu Piao threw a punch.

"How much strength can this fist from Lu Piao carry?" several students by the side coldly laughed.

A "Bang" sound spread through the huge hall, even the whole Strength Testing Stone trembled with the sound.

"What's going on?"

"Such a powerful sound!"

The teacher in charge by the side was also dazed. After the initial shock, he walked over to Lu Piao. Taking a look at the Strength Test Stone, he went silent for a moment before saying, "Test result: 2-star Bronze rank, 265 strength!"

The surrounding crowd suddenly went into an uproar.

"How is this possible?"

"Is the test result wrong?"

One must know that this punch from Lu Piao was just a light punch. That alone, already carried such power? He was already a 2-star Bronze rank, not far from 3-star Bronze rank. Lu Piao lightly smiled. In his recent practice, he hadn't stopped at all. With the powerful cultivation technique given to him by Nie Li, and consuming large amounts of elixirs daily, not to mention the Purple Haze Grass bath, it became impossible for his cultivation to not to be strong.

After a long while, everyone recovered from the daze, and looked at each other. A thirteen year old who already had such powerful strength talent could be regarded as a genius among the whole Holy Orchid Institute. The higher ups of the Institute would definitely put great efforts into nurturing him.

"Not bad, I never thought that such a genius would appear in the Fighter Apprentice class. It seems like this batch of students is not that bad," One of the institute's higher up said, smiling.

"The results of this year's students shouldn't be that bad, because of the pills that came from the Alchemist Association," another of the higher ups said softly. It was indeed true that the effects of the few elixirs by the Alchemy Association were very strong, which allowed the average level of students to be raised by a lot.

In order to nurture the younger generation, every family was willing to pay a large price.

Lu Piao looked at the far away Shen Yue with provocation, and saw that Shen Yue's face had darkened. This was an insult from Lu Piao! However, thinking of Lu Piao's strength, Shen Yue couldn't help but feel extremely dejected. How did Lu Piao raise his strength so fast in such a short time? Did he take lots of elixirs?

Teacher Shen Xiu's face also became ugly. Although Lu Piao was her student, Lu Piao was always together with Nie Li, which caused her to be unhappy. She was very well aware of Lu Piao's original test results. How did he suddenly get his strength raised to such a frightening degree?

'Doesn't that mean that Nie Li also...' Shen Xiu's eyes looked towards Nie Li, who was currently chatting happily with the two beauties.

Second Chance of the Strength Test

Lu Piao stood firmly still, using all his strength as he threw a palm at the Strength Testing Stone.

Boom!

A deep palm mark appeared on the Strength Testing Stone.

"Test results: 3-star Bronze rank, 325 strength." The teacher in charge was slightly stunned, and said awe-inspiringly. The talent that Lu Piao displayed was already very shocking, he was absolutely a talent worth raising!

The students behind him that had yet to take their test inhaled a cold air.

"Wtf, will they still give us a chance?"

"Inhumane!"

They were the same age, thirteen years old. If their strength managed to even hit above 80, then that would already be considered outstanding. However, Lu Piao had already broken through 300, reaching 3-star Bronze rank. This was simply stepping on their confidence!

Ignoring the shocked gaze of the crowd, Lu Piao shook his head, appearing to be unsatisfied with the results. He took his position firmly, once again throwing a heavy punch towards the Strength Testing Stone.

Boom!

"Test results: 3-star Bronze rank, 370 strength!" The teacher in charge took in a breath and said. His gaze towards Lu Piao lit up. He thought back to when he was still a student, he had only just reached 1-star Bronze rank. Lu Piao could probably enter the Holy Orchid Institute's Genius class.

The amount of people who could enter the Genius class didn't exceed 50. To be able to become a student of the Genius class, the teachings that they would be receiving wouldn't be the same. Furthermore, every ten students had a teacher in charge of them. They were all elite teachers of the whole institute! Furthermore, the genius students would be specially protected by Glory City, unless they committed some unforgivable act, no one could touch them. Otherwise, it would be the same as disregarding the law of Glory City!

Glory City was constantly under the threats of Demon Beasts, therefore all the genius students were specially protected.

"Lu Piao didn't focus properly on practicing, otherwise, his test wouldn't be so low!" Du Ze by the side bitterly smiled.

Several students that were nearby, after hearing what Du Ze just said, were shockingly stunned. Lu Piao hadn't worked hard and already managed to get such results, if he were to work hard, then wouldn't it make them feel more dejected? Their gaze couldn't help falling onto Du Ze and bunch. Lu Piao had been together with Du Ze and Nie Li when his strength surged, could it be that Nie Li, Du Ze and the rest also...

Continuing, Lu Piao went on to the soul force test. Lu Piao held the soul crystal in his hand, injecting his soul force into the soul crystal. A moment later, the soul crystal emitted light dots, gradually emitting more and more, becoming brighter and brighter.

"3-star Bronze rank Demon Spiritualist, soul force of 367!"

Once would be enough for the soul force test.

Hearing the results, even the higher ups of the institute couldn't help but be moved. Demon Spiritualists were more precious compared to Fighters. A thirteen year old 3-star Bronze rank Demon Spiritualist was even more extraordinary! This was definitely an astonishing matter!

"This kid is definitely a genius. Arrange him into the Genius class!" The opinion of the institute's higher ups were all united. Lu Piao's name soon entered everyone's ears. Some of the institute's higher ups were prepared to take Lu Piao as their disciple.

There was nothing to be said about Lu Piao's talent. As the institute's higher ups, they also needed some extraordinary talented people to help them raise their status. There would be a few higher ups that would compete to have Lu Piao as their disciple.

After the test, Lu Piao stood aside, looking at Nie Li, Du Ze, and bunch and smiled. He was extremely excited about his results.

'With these results, I won't need to be scolded by my old man when I return home!' Lu Piao proudly thought. When his old man saw his results, his jaw would probably fall off.

"Who's next?" The teacher in charge's eyes were lit up as he looked at the students from the Fighter Apprentice class. In the previous examinations, there hadn't been any talented students that had lit up anyone's eyes before. He never thought that this Fighter Apprentice class, whom no one thought much of, actually had two shocking geniuses. This caused him to look forward to the rest of these students from the Fighter Apprentice class' test.
