Tang San was full of confidence, his provocative voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally firm and powerful.
The surrounding area fell silent.
The elder responsible for the testing had his eyes burst with bright light, filled with joy.
Twelve years old, level 29.
This is an absolute genius-level character, a treasure found!!
The elder in charge of recruitment was so excited, and naturally, the others around him were abuzz.
Is this guy even human!
At the same age, he nearly has a cultivation level of 30?
You must be joking.
All these youths and parents had faces full of shock, their hearts filled with disbelief.
In their understanding of the world, at this age, even having a cultivation level of 20 was an extremely rare existence; Tang San's level completely refreshed their understanding, causing utter astonishment.
When they looked again at Luo Yu, who was standing aside and not speaking.
A hint of sympathy unconsciously flashed in everyone's eyes.
It seems this guy is going to be totally suppressed today, facing such a monster-level genius, who could resist?
Someone shook his head helplessly.
Being mocked by such a genius, it's true there's no temper to be had, after all, the gap in talent and strength lies there, and it's as wide as a chasm that the naked eye can see.
Everyone thought that Luo Yu was about to slink away at this moment.
Even Tang San couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
He was certain that among his peers, no one's soul power would surpass his own.
While others were still in their ignorant phase, he had already been cultivating the Tang Sect's secret technique, the Mysterious Heaven Method, directly elevating his soul power to Innate Full Level and then advancing rapidly in cultivation afterward.
He would never believe that these so-called geniuses outside could compare with him, his Martial Soul Talent and Tang Sect secret techniques were no joke.
Usually, his pride was hidden deep in his bones, but today it was fully exposed without any concealment.
Because he absolutely could not tolerate another man getting close to Xiaowu, not under any circumstances!
If there were any, then they should brace for his punishment.
Tang San scoffed at Luo Yu, the Test Crystal in his hand still shining with dazzling brilliance, so splendid, proving his soul power cultivation surpassed that of his peers.
Luo Yu stood there, listening to the jeers around him, looking at Tang San who was surrounded like a star among the moon, his expression gradually turning somewhat strange.
Tang San said with his head held high, "You were so outspoken just now, why aren't you talking anymore?"
Luo Yu shook his head and sighed, "There's one thing I find very puzzling right now."
"Why are some people so confident yet so ordinary?"
Tang San's smug expression froze instantly, and he glared, "Who are you referring to?"
Luo Yu smiled and said, "I'm just wondering."
"Twelve years old, soul power level 29, is that remarkable?"
"Does it make you so confident?"
"Hiss!"
The entire place was shaken, looking incredulously at Luo Yu, and a murmur of whispers arose.
Has this guy got it wrong?
Does he even know what a Level 29 at twelve years means?
It's a genius, an absolute genius.
Now everyone felt that Luo Yu was just being stubborn; Tang San's talent was indeed visibly powerful, causing awe in the surrounding people.
"Whoosh!"
A figure flashed in front of Tang San, giving him a friendly look, and then glared at Luo Yu.
It was the Shrek elder responsible for recruitment.
He saw the dispute between Tang San and Luo Yu.
Setting aside who was right or wrong, he had seen Tang San's talent, and Shrek hadn't encountered such an excellent seedling in many years.
The aura of Luo Yu, however, seemed very ordinary to him.
With this, the choice was very clear.
Seizing the opportunity to win a favor from Tang San, the elder rebuked Luo Yu, "Young man, the entrance to Shrek Academy is not a place for you to quarrel, your verbal prowess is useless here, strength is the ultimate rule."
"You look down upon a cultivation level of 29? If you have the ability, show yours as well, let everyone see."
"If you don't have such cultivation, I advise you to leave early, Shrek does not accept students who are all talk and no action."
After speaking, the elder glanced at Tang San from the corner of his eye.
Noticing the look of goodwill cast by Tang San, he immediately felt that what he was doing was right.
To offend an ordinary young man and gain the favor of a genius, this deal is a sure win!
Xiaowu had already come over and whispered to Tang San, "Third brother, you're going to make it difficult for him to save face, your talent is not something ordinary people can compare with."
"Let it go, stop causing trouble."
Tang San, hearing Xiaowu speak for Luo Yu, suddenly felt an unfounded irritation.
A surge of nameless jealousy rose in his heart.
"Xiaowu, it's not that I want to pick a fight with him, you saw him bragging," Tang San said.
"He thinks my level 29 cultivation isn't enough, so let's have him show his soul power level so I and everyone else can widen our eyes."
Now, all eyes were focused on Luo Yu.
Many were gloating, eager to see Luo Yu embarrassed.
After all, Luo Yu, along with that pair of stunningly gorgeous twin sisters, certainly incited envy and jealousy.
Seeing Luo Yu getting slapped in the face by Tang San was, to them, a pleasing sight.
Surrounded by skeptical, mocking, and voyeuristic gazes, Luo Yu remained composed, his lips curling into a wicked smile, as if he were watching a joke unfold.
"Zhu Qing, you go test it out first," he said.
"Alright," Zhu Qing obediently replied, asking Tang San for the test crystal.
Tang San tossed the crystal ball in his hand, taunting, "What? Getting cold feet, sending a woman to do your work?"
Facing the ridicule, Luo Yu glanced at Tang San and then looked away, slowly shaking his head.
"Shh, just watch, there's a surprise in store."
"You!"
Just as Tang San was about to speak, he was silenced by the sudden burst of intense light.
Everyone's gaze stiffly turned, staring at the test crystal glowing brightly in the arena, and at Zhu Qingqing, who was continuously channeling her soul power into it, and they were instantly stunned.
"No, no... way!"
"Another... level 29?"
"This woman doesn't even look thirteen!"
The elder in charge of admissions was flabbergasted. What was going on today, did they stumble upon a den of geniuses?
This girl looked even younger than Tang San, and yet she had such a cultivation level?
Surprised exclamations kept coming from all around, but Zhu Qingqing did not show pride; her ears were just slightly red.
She had been level 27 not long before, but in a short period of time, she had reached level 29.
She was very clear about the reason— it all came from the man's hard cultivation.
While this made her blush, it also filled her with inexplicable joy.
Remembering how Tang San had just denounced her man, a cold look appeared on Zhu Qingqing's face.
She looked at Tang San, who was in utter astonishment, and snorted, "I'll be twelve in two more months, younger than you. With a cultivation level of 29, that doesn't seem to be a big deal, right?"
Tang San's face stiffened, as he could not understand how any random woman could challenge his prowess.
Luo Yu cast a sideways glance, instructing, "Zhu Yun, casually show your cultivation level."
"Yes, Master!"
Zhu Zhuyun obediently responded, making everyone's hearts skip a beat.
This sultry, breathtaking beauty was actually calling this guy her master? That was even more exaggerated than a romantic relationship.
"Boom!"
Zhu Zhuyun's aura exploded with power, as the Hell Spiritual Cat appeared, and four soul rings—two yellow and two purple—flashed brightly for all to see.
"Four... four soul rings Soul Ancestor?"
"This woman is over level 40??"
The admissions teacher was utterly shocked, and Tang San staggered back three steps as if struck by lightning.
He was actually inferior to the woman beside this man?
Impossible, had his Mysterious Heaven Method been practiced in vain?
This was illogical; Tang San couldn't believe it and looked terrible.
The Zhu Zhuqing sisters were so radiant yet humbly stood at Luo Yu's side, content to be the backdrop.
This left the onlookers both shocked and heartbroken, filled with envy.
Zhu Zhuyun stood amidst her four soul rings, looking down disdainfully, "Tang San, right? Proud of being level 29? Can't even compare to us sisters, yet you want to compete with my master?"
"Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Do you measure up?"
Being mocked by a woman under the full gaze of the public, Tang San's face twisted with embarrassment, unable to retort even a single word.
Zhu Zhuyun snapped, "My master just couldn't be bothered to deal with you, really. Do you think you are someone important? I've tolerated you for quite a while now!"
The strange looks from the crowd made Tang San feel as if he was being roasted on an open fire.
He staggered, his eyes bloodshot, pointing his finger at Luo Yu.
"I want to see you test yourself, not someone else!"
"Others might have high levels of cultivation, but that's theirs. What does it have to do with you?"
"Do you only know how to hide behind women?"
Luo Yu met Tang San's fierce gaze with a bored yawn.
"You know, you really don't know to give up until you're at death's door," he said.
He took the test crystal from Zhu Qingqing's hand and channeled his soul power into it.
"If that's the case, then keep your eyes peeled and watch carefully!"
"Your level 29 cultivation level,"
"in my eyes,"
"counts for—"
"nothing!"
With a roar, the ground trembled, and the crystal erupted with a phenomenal anomaly...
