"Next, we will conduct a mental force test," Wu Changkong's cold voice echoed in the testing room.
"Yes, Teacher Wu," everyone responded in unison.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Teacher Wu, can I request to take the mental force test tonight instead?"
"Hm?"
Wu Changkong frowned slightly, looked at Xu Xiaoyan, and asked coldly, "Does your mental force change at night?"
"Yes," Xu Xiaoyan nodded.
This was her biggest secret, but in order to stay in Zero Class, she had no choice but to reveal it.
Although she didn't know that Wu Changkong had actually already decided to keep her.
"You may," Wu Changkong agreed after a brief consideration, "but you still need to take a test now as baseline data."
"Okay, Teacher Wu," Xu Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"The official test begins now," Wu Changkong activated the testing equipment.
Xie Xie, who was the first to be tested, had his mental force break through the 100 mark, directly leaping from the Ling Yuan Realm to the Ling Tong Realm, reaching 101 points.
This meant that there were no obstacles for his Soul Spirit to advance to the Millennium level.
As a three-ring Spirit Elder, Xie Xie's mental force level was considered normal.
The second to be tested was the newly joined Xu Xiaoyan.
Wu Changkong believed that for Eastsea Academy to exceptionally allow her to join Zero Class, she must have something extraordinary.
Judging from her demonstrated ice element control ability, her mental force should not be too weak.
As expected, the testing instrument showed that Xu Xiaoyan's mental force also reached 101 points.
As a control system Spirit Master, Xu Xiaoyan, after taking the Medicinal Pill given by Fang Yang, broke through to two rings, and such a mental force level was indeed impressive.
Wang Jinxi silently walked up to the testing instrument, and the result showed 35 points of mental force.
Although not high, Wu Changkong still nodded and said, "It's much improved from last time; keep up the good work."
Wang Jinxi nodded silently and stepped back.
Next was Zhang Yangzi, and the testing instrument showed 150 points of mental force.
Wu Changkong nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that while the Zero Class students were Cultivating their spirit power, they had not neglected the improvement of their mental force.
"Tang Wulin, your turn," Wu Changkong's voice was still cold.
"Okay, Teacher Wu," Tang Wulin stepped forward to take the test, and the result showed 255 points of mental force.
Since joining the Tang Sect, Tang Wulin had not only Cultivated the Tang Sect's supreme Cultivation Technique, Mysterious Heaven Skill, but also, under Wu Changkong's suggestion, Cultivated the Purple Demon Eye, and his mental force had been continuously improving.
As for Xie Xie, he chose the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, which was more suitable for agility-attack system Spirit Masters.
After all, for an agility-attack system, speed was king.
"Fang Yang, it's your turn," Wu Changkong's voice carried a rare hint of anticipation.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Yang, including the always quiet Xu Xiaoyan.
When Fang Yang began the test, the instrument's value surged wildly, climbing from 1 point all the way to 5001 points.
"This is… the Ling Yuan Realm!" Wu Changkong rarely showed such a shocked expression.
"mental force 5001? Ling Yuan Realm?"
Xie Xie's voice changed tone, and he looked at Wu Changkong in disbelief, "Teacher Wu, are you sure our testing instrument isn't broken?"
He simply couldn't believe his eyes.
Except for Gu Yue, everyone else subconsciously nodded in agreement.
This was truly terrifying; while their mental force hovered around 100 points, Fang Yang's mental force had already broken through the 5000 mark.
"This… is he even human?"
Such a question couldn't help but arise in everyone's hearts, and they looked at Fang Yang as if they were looking at a Prodigy.
"The testing instrument is not broken," Wu Changkong glared at Xie Xie, shook his head, and said, "Just because you can't achieve it doesn't mean others can't; work hard."
Fang Yang shrugged helplessly at the words.
The painful experiences of being scorched by two different kinds of abnormal flames had caused his mental force to grow wildly, not to mention that controlling four kinds of abnormal flames would be impossible without powerful mental force.
The most difficult Fusion of abnormal flames had even more demanding requirements for mental force.
After reaching the Ling Yuan Realm, mental force could already materialize, not only capable of attacking an opponent's mental sea but also performing deep mental probing and even memory reading.
However, these advanced applications required extremely strong control techniques.
Normally, the Ling Yuan Realm was already the limit that human mental force could reach; after reaching this level, a Spirit Master would no longer be affected by mental force.
No matter what, their mental force would be sufficient to support them in Cultivating to the Titled Douluo level.
Wu Changkong looked at Gu Yue, full of anticipation for her mental force as well.
"Gu Yue, test!"
Gu Yue calmly walked forward, and the testing instrument once again vibrated wildly, finally stopping at 5002 points.
"This… another Ling Yuan Realm?"
Gu Yue's mental force data once again shocked everyone present.
Everyone was already numb; they realized they couldn't be compared to a Prodigy.
Fang Yang was not surprised; as the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue's mental force was absolutely the most formidable.
Coupled with having Cultivated the Barren Demon Eye, her mental force was naturally terrifying.
Wu Changkong was very satisfied with the results of this test.
All the students in Zero Class had made progress, especially Fang Yang and Gu Yue, who gave him too many surprises.
"Today, all your tests were good; class dismissed," Wu Changkong left the testing room as soon as he finished speaking.
Fang Yang and the others also followed him out.
After leaving the testing room, Xie Xie suddenly suggested, "Fang Yang, it's a new semester, shouldn't Zero Class go out for a get-together?"
Tang Wulin couldn't help but retort, "Xie Xie, I think you're the foodie; you criticize me every day."
Everyone was already used to it; Xie Xie always wanted to have a meal whenever he had the chance.
"I know you; tell me, where do you want to go?" Fang Yang asked Xie Xie with a smile.
Xie Xie thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "How about we go eat braised beef? Uncle Li's braised beef is so delicious."
Fang Yang looked at Xie Xie meaningfully, "Missing your mom?"
Xie Xie retorted stubbornly, "No way, I just want to take everyone to try Uncle Li's braised beef."
"Alright, you decide; I'll treat today," Fang Yang said readily.
"Okay, I'm going to eat you out of house and home today!"
Xie Xie rubbed his fists together, his face beaming with an expectant smile, as if he could already see the delicious braised beef.
"Wu Lin, call Senior Ouyang Zixin to come with us," Fang Yang turned to Tang Wulin and said.
"No problem," Tang Wulin nodded in agreement.
"Everyone, go back to your dorms and tidy up; we'll meet downstairs at the dorm building in half an hour," Fang Yang arranged.
"Okay," everyone said in unison.
Fang Yang took Gu Yue's hand, preparing to leave, and seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan naturally took Fang Yang's left hand.
The three walked side by side like that, leaving the stunned crowd behind them.
"Haji Yang, this guy…" Xie Xie shook his head and sighed.
"Alright, Xie Xie, let's go back," Tang Wulin patted his shoulder and turned to find Senior Ouyang Zixin.
Half an hour later, everyone had gathered.
Fang Yang smiled slightly, "Xie Xie, you're the chosen one."
Xie Xie was a bit speechless but still walked in front to lead the way.
Along the way, everyone was full of laughter and joy.
