Chapter 256 The Silence of the Academy's High-Ranking Officials
Everyone's attention was drawn to Lin Qingyan at that moment, and few people noticed the four academy prodigies who had suddenly appeared.
"Oh? Is it that junior student Lin?"
Jiang Yan, who was handsome, had a look of surprise in his eyes.
Shi Zhentian, with his muscular arms crossed, grinned in surprise and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder this extremely cold icy power is called the Ice Queen..."
Gao Tian, the top support-type player, stroked his chin and muttered, "Her attack must have had a power level of at least 300... right?"
Xiao Zhiyu, nicknamed "Insect Ghost," wore a magnificent silver robe, a pair of exquisite glasses, and had brown curly hair. He exuded the air of a noble young master, completely different from his title of "Insect Ghost."
His gaze swept around, and his eyes flashed when he saw Jiang Yuan.
found it……
But when he saw Luo Xi next to Jiang Yuan, his expression froze and his eyes turned cold.
Junior Sister Luo was indeed...
"Hiss."
A dark glint flashed in his eyes, a mixture of jealousy and intense possessiveness. A chilling, silvery spiritual energy, like venomous snakes, silently spread from Xiao Zhiyu's body.
The Xiao family is a renowned family of spiritual martial arts practitioners in the capital, and Xiao Zhiyu is the only candidate to become the next family head.
Luo Xi, with her naturally beautiful appearance and remarkable mental talent, was already considered by him to be the best marriage partner. After marriage, there was even a chance that they would have offspring with SSS-level mental talent. His ancestral divine insect, which he cultivated with his mental power, might also advance further and help him reach the King Realm.
It can be said that Luo Xi is the woman he is determined to have!
He absolutely will not allow anyone to interfere!
"boom!"
With a loud bang, a powerful shockwave mixed with a cold wind spread out, and ripples of light rippled across the stone tablet.
"call……"
Lin Qingyan slowly exhaled a breath of cold air, withdrew her hand, turned her head, glanced at Jiang Yuan in the distance, and raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Yuan smiled.
Is this a provocation?
To be able to deal nearly eight million damage in a single strike at the fifth level is indeed something to be proud of.
Gao Tian came to his senses and exclaimed, "That's almost a strike from a seventh-level grandmaster, isn't it? A perfect combination of his talent and martial arts skills, beautiful."
A fighting spirit flashed in Shi Zhentian's eyes. "This year's top freshman is indeed something else. Stronger than I expected."
As Lin Qingyan walked away from the stone tablet, each step she took revealed a lotus flower in the ice.
Everyone then realized what was happening and looked intently at the stone tablet, where they saw the numerical values displayed.
Many students, including Jin Quanmin, stared in shock, their mouths slowly opening.
Jiang Yan and the other three also looked astonished.
A young warrior carrying a greatsword rubbed his eyes, unable to believe it.
A pretty, cute girl holding a staff covered her mouth with her hand, her face blank.
"7,784—?!?!"
Someone exclaimed, breaking the silence.
The entire audience erupted in cheers.
"You're kidding!!"
"How can it be so high?!"
"Unbelievable!!"
……
Jin Quanmin was even more incredulous and roared at Lin Qingyan, "You cheated!"
"How could a fifth-tier martial artist possibly deal such high damage?!"
The Dao power value is close to 800 points.
The power of a single strike was enough to kill a sixth-tier lord-level ferocious beast and freeze a river a hundred meters wide.
That's not the kind of damage a fifth-tier martial artist should be dealing!
"I know, you must have used some kind of relic or equipped yourself with epic-level gear!"
He became enraged and showed no demeanor of a senior student.
Lin Qingyan didn't stop walking, but as she passed by him, she moved her lips slightly and left two words.
"waste."
Utter contempt.
Kim Jeon-min's pupils contracted instantly, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
This was the first time he had ever been so looked down upon and scorned. He considered himself a prodigy and was arrogant by nature.
He suddenly turned his head.
Jin Quanmin's face twisted in anger, his eyes filled with venom as he said, "A mere freshman... what's with all the arrogance?!"
"Die!"
A purplish-black spiritual power erupted from his body, transforming into a void giant. He drew his bow and shot an arrow at Lin Qingyan's back!
The death arrow of the spirit!
The crowd gasped in shock, never expecting Kim Jeon-min to launch such a despicable sneak attack.
Lin Qingyan didn't turn her head back.
"Bang!!"
The purplish-black arrow was deflected by a crescent-shaped moon mirror formed from a piece of mental armor, and bounced away.
Lin Qingyan glanced sideways at Jin Quanmin, parted her cherry lips slightly, and said in a cold voice, "Get lost!"
As if by magic, a powerful repulsive force suddenly shot out, blasting Jin Quanmin away from his spot and sending him crashing into the wall with a scream.
"It's Lin Xiaohua's Divine Word Master skill!"
"A legendary class."
"This is the first time I've seen it in person. It's incredibly powerful!"
The onlookers were extremely excited.
Unexpectedly, Jin Quanmin, a sixth-level cultivator, was so easily defeated by Lin Qingyan, a fifth-level cultivator.
The armored man, in particular, who had been bullied by Kim Jeon-min, looked on with adoration, as if he were seeing a goddess.
Seeing this, Luo Xi looked at Lin Qingyan approaching, her purple eyes filled with wariness and hostility, as if she were looking at a fox spirit.
As expected, she was his greatest rival!
"Lin, it's been a long time," Pei Congyun said.
Lin Qingyan glanced at Luo Xi, nodded to Pei Congyun, and then looked at Jiang Yuan and said:
"Your turn."
Jiang Yuan nodded and walked towards the stone tablet.
This scene also attracted the attention of Jiang Yan, Xiao Zhiyu, and everyone else.
"Did he come with School Beauty Lin? Are they also going to take the Dao power test?"
"Wait, isn't he Jiang Yuan?!"
"The legendary one?!"
"The forum said he returned from the abyss and even defeated Senior Chi Guangxue. It turns out it's true!"
"You're kidding! It really is him!"
"Could he be even stronger than School Beauty Lin?!"
"That can't be... right?!"
"I heard from a friend in Nanjiang City that Shirakawa Gen, who is wanted by the Sakura Country, seems to be him."
"Huh? No way?"
"But it seems... really does look a bit like it. Could he already be at the seventh level?!"
The crowd discussed among themselves, their eyes filled with curiosity and awe.
Song Yun glanced at him slightly.
Many people are unaware of this.
Inside the main hall of this martial arts hall, there were actually quite a few powerful individuals with unfathomable auras, all of whom were senior instructors and veteran professors from various departments.
At this moment, all the hidden masters and quasi-kings focused their attention on the tall figure who walked to the stone tablet.
"Even the principal and those three came."
Song Yun remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was deeply shaken.
Under the spotlight.
Jiang Yuan stretched out his right hand and gently pressed it on the stone tablet.
"boom!"
For the first time, the enormous stone tablet, which seemed to have stood since time immemorial, trembled, its faint light shimmering. Rays of light converged into lines that spread upwards, as if a slumbering behemoth had been awakened from its slumber.
Under the shocked and astonished gazes of everyone.
The Dao power value on the stone tablet began to jump rapidly, soaring.
150.
200.
300.
500.
1000.
……
"Huh? Is there a mistake? How did it become a four-digit number?"
A student with a buzz cut rubbed his eyes, trying to see more clearly.
When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly found himself outside the Martial Arts Building.
He was surrounded by students who were just as bewildered as he was.
Jiang Yan frowned deeply. "This is...?"
Xiao Zhiyu, Shi Zhentian, and Gao Tian all looked equally puzzled.
Long Ci guessed a certain possibility.
They were all forcibly teleported out.
And those who can do this are undoubtedly the academy's higher-ups.
only……
Why?
But soon, an old yet loud voice came from inside the martial arts building.
[An error has occurred with the Martial Stele; testing ends here for today.]
Immediately, a chorus of sighs and boos erupted.
Lin Qingyan's eyes flickered.
How could the Martial Stele be wrong?
What exactly happened?
……
The martial hall was now empty.
Dead silence.
Only the light on the Martial Stele was dazzling, making the tall figure standing beneath it appear like a deity.
Nan Yue glanced at the numbers on the stone tablet, took a deep breath, looked around, and said to the dozen or so senior mentors and veteran professors, including Song Yun, "I hope everyone can keep today's events a secret."
The three elders of Shenwu Academy, whose strength was second only to the demigod Feng Xuan, stroked their beards and nodded.
The other tutors and professors remained silent.
With her head tilted back, Song Yun looked dazed and shocked, questioning her existence, unable to recover for a long time.
"Is this even human?"
A line of golden characters on the stone tablet is like the blazing sun overhead.
