Chapter 930: Chapter 930: Test of Strength

When they reached the large square in front of the entrance to Bitao Martial Academy, the place was already bustling with people, as nearly ten thousand martial artists from various regions had gathered, creating a lively scene.

Around seven in the morning, over a hundred disciples from the External Courtyard of Bitao Martial Academy, along with ten from the Inner Court, appeared at the forefront of the square, led by four elders of the academy.

The disciples from the External Courtyard of Bitao Martial Academy were all at the initial stage of Heaven Level. The simultaneous appearance of over a hundred people releasing their Martial Artist Aura imposed a sense of pressure on the nearly ten thousand martial artists present in the square.

These External Courtyard disciples dispersed to the surroundings of the square, responsible for maintaining order.

The ten Inner Court disciples, on the other hand, walked to a stone platform on the front left side of the square, each standing next to a towering Ruyi Stone.

The ten Ruyi Stones on the stone platform were prepared to test the cultivation level and realm of the martial artists in the square.

Soon, the martial artists on the square who had passed the selection would stand in front of the Ruyi Stones to undergo testing.

The Ruyi Stone is a very peculiar stone capable of accurately identifying a martial artist’s cultivation level and body attributes, with very few errors.

In front of the Ruyi Stone, almost no martial artist could conceal their true cultivation level and realm.

Of course, exceptions like Fang Bai were another matter.

With ten Inner Court disciples, who were at the middle stage of Heaven Level, standing in front of the Ruyi Stones to supervise, there was no need to worry about martial artists cheating during the test.

The four elders of Bitao Martial Academy, who had reached the middle stage of the Desolate Level, then ascended a high platform directly in front of the square and took their seats on stone chairs, overlooking the nearly ten thousand martial artists from a superior position.

In the eyes of the four elders, the nearly ten thousand martial artists on the square were no different from ants.

Today, the elders intended to select some outstanding individuals from these "ants" to enter Bitao Martial Academy, to teach them Martial Arts Techniques, provide them with cultivation resources, and hope to create a group of strong individuals to enhance the strength of Bitao Martial Academy.

The elders also hoped to find among these martial artists those with Innate Spiritual Roots, the favored sons and daughters of the heavens, and then dedicate their efforts to cultivating them to become the mainstay of Bitao Martial Academy’s future.

However, the elders also knew that finding someone with an Innate Spiritual Root was extremely rare, almost one in ten thousand.

Take the entire Bitao Martial Academy, for example, which in nearly a thousand years had produced only two Innate Spirit Root Martial Artists: Ren Jingbo, the current academy head, and Gao Shuxian, a current External Courtyard disciple.

Ren Jingbo was a warrior at Desolate Level Perfection, whereas Gao Shuxian was merely a Heaven Level Martial Artist. The difference in strength between them was vast, one as high as the sky and the other as low as the earth.

However, Ren Jingbo was nearly two hundred years old and nearing the end of his life, with little hope for further advancement in his cultivation.

Gao Shuxian, on the other hand, was only about twenty years old, her future full of boundless potential. Focused cultivation could make her highly promising, possibly leading Bitao Martial Academy to greater heights under her leadership.

Although there were nearly ten thousand martial artists on the scene, not every one of them had the privilege of undergoing the strength test, since before the official testing began, the academy had to conduct a selection, weeding out those martial artists who did not meet the requirements.

After the selection, over one-third of the nearly ten thousand martial artists present were eliminated because their cultivation level did not reach Earth Level.

Another third of the martial artists, due to being overage, were also rejected.

Around three thousand martial artists who met the basic criteria remained, and it was from these three thousand that Bitao Martial Academy would choose its new disciples.

These three thousand martial artists lined up in a long queue in front of the ten Ruyi Stones, supervised by the ten Inner Court disciples, and one by one stepped forward, placing their palms on the Ruyi Stones and releasing their True Yuan, allowing the Ruyi Stones to identify their cultivation level and body attributes.

"Wu Lie, twenty-seven years old, initial stage of Earth Level, Golden Attribute."

"Hong Feng, twenty-five years old, Earth Level Mid-Rank, Water Attribute."

"Feng Ling, twenty-two years old, Earth Level Mid-Rank, Fire Attribute."

"Nangong Shuang, twenty years old, Earth Level High-Rank, Water Attribute."

...

One by one, the Martial Artists walked up to the Ruyi Stone to undergo the strength test, and then a disciple from the Inner Court standing beside the Ruyi Stone announced the results.

Soon, over a hundred Martial Artists had taken the strength test, but the qualifications of these Martial Artists did not particularly stand out or dazzle anyone.

The body attribute of a Martial Artist is innate; what this attribute is determines the type of attribute-specific Martial Arts Techniques they will cultivate in the future.

For example, if a Martial Artist’s body attribute is Golden, then they can only choose Golden System Techniques for cultivation.

The body attributes of Martial Artists also vary in quality. Ordinary body attributes mean ordinary talents. They can only cultivate lower-rank Techniques and will find it difficult to achieve great things on the path of Martial Dao.

The best body attributes are the so-called Innate Spiritual Roots.

Martial Artists with an Innate Spiritual Root are hailed as Martial Dao geniuses with exceptional talent. They can cultivate high-rank Techniques, and their cultivation level on the Martial Dao path is immeasurable.

"Liu Liehu, fourteen years old, Earth Level Perfection, Golden Attribute!"

When a disciple from the Inner Court of Bitao Martial Academy announced this test result, nearly ten thousand Martial Artists in the square stirred. They looked at Liu Liehu in front of the Ruyi Stone, finding it hard to believe that this fourteen-year-old youth was already a Martial Artist at Earth Level Perfection.

The four Elders of Bitao Martial Academy were also slightly moved. Although this Martial Artist named Liu Liehu did not possess an Innate Spiritual Root, his reaching Earth Level Perfection at fourteen indicated exceptional talent. If carefully nurtured, he might have the potential to become a Desolate Level Martial Artist in the future.

After the test ended, Liu Liehu excitedly waved his fist. Among the hundreds of Martial Artists who had been tested, he was the youngest yet the strongest, and becoming a disciple of Bitao Martial Academy was almost a certainty.

Liu Qingqing’s eyes sparkled with joy, happy for her brother.

Then, Liu Qingqing and nine other Martial Artists walked up to the Ruyi Stone, each placing their palm lightly onto it.

Liu Qingqing’s appearance captured the attention of many onlookers at the scene.

The Martial Artists in the square were dazzled by Liu Qingqing’s ethereal beauty and her extraordinary demeanor. Their eyes widened and gleamed, all inquiring about this stunningly beautiful girl’s name and origins.

The four Elders of Bitao Martial Academy also focused their attention on Liu Qingqing. Some appeared thoughtful, others visibly surprised, and some were visibly excited.

The four Elders, all Desolate Level Mid-Rank powerhouses, sensed the aura of a Heaven Level Martial Artist emanating from this sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl as soon as she appeared.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old Heaven Level Martial Artist was unprecedented in the history of Bitao Martial Academy. The four Elders were almost certain that the girl in the green dress with the ethereal demeanor was indeed a possessor of an Innate Spiritual Root.

The facts proved that the Elders’ guess was not wrong.

When Liu Qingqing’s palm touched the Ruyi Stone and released her own True Yuan, a dazzling black light emanated from the stone. This black light surged directly from the base of the Ruyi Stone and stopped at a very high position.

The scene fell silent, as nearly everyone’s gaze was fixed on Liu Qingqing and the Ruyi Stone in front of her.
