Chapter 619: Top Genius, Chi Xue Falls

“Liu Sheng… Liu Sheng, I just heard them say that you scored full marks on the power test?” As they walked, Linglong suddenly spoke up.

“Yeah.” Yun Ye nodded; the results would be announced soon, and there was no need to hide anything.

“I remember that the Spirit Law power test is a pure spirit energy test, with no changes in properties involved. Scoring full marks with ten units of spirit energy means you have at least reached a professional level. My score was only 97 points; you truly deserve your reputation.” Linglong took a deep breath, realizing again how formidable the boy in front of her was.

Compared to the written exam, achieving full marks in the Four Dimensions was nearly impossible.

She possessed top-tier bloodlines, the best education, and elite techniques, yet her final “power tier” test only yielded 97 points. Though only 3 points short, the later stages grew increasingly challenging, meaning this small margin could lead to a one-sided situation in actual combat.

However, she was not slow; this was just the start, and she still had ways to catch up!

“Ding—”

Yun Ye’s Spiritual Attire flashed a message. He glanced at it. “That’s quick; my next test is the scale test.”

“I have the property test, which is a bit far off. I’ll find you after the second and third tests,” Linglong also mentioned after checking.

“Sure.” Yun Ye nodded, picking a few high-grade dishes that balanced nutrition and taste based on Linglong’s recommendation, with the cost naturally covered by the Wanling Group.

“……” Linglong felt that sometimes the young master spoke quite antiquatedly; he might genuinely be an old relic.

……

Testing Ground 11.

“This test is a scale test. You will fully control the spirit energy in the air; the more you control, the higher your score. Each person only has ten seconds!”

The anonymous white-haired boy made another stunning appearance.

Testing Ground 11 was an indoor space, divided into different areas, with various spirit lights flashing. The brighter the light, the more unstable it was, making control increasingly difficult.

Similarly, the difficulty curve rose steeply; achieving even one extra point later required several times the strength needed at the beginning.

Yun Ye glanced around and noticed fewer examinees.

The first test had eliminated nearly half, so the waiting time would be much shorter this time.

The test began in an orderly manner.

In this era, most candidates had two or more Spiritual Roots, but the quality of the roots also significantly influenced their ability to control. Some candidates with Single Spiritual Roots, if they were Fusion Roots, greatly held an advantage.

Typically, a fully talented Single Spiritual Root could only score around 20 points, while a Dual Spiritual Root could achieve around 30 points.

For Fusion Roots, even a double fusion could score over 40 points, reaching a passing level without any Spiritual Laws, with a higher score when added.

As the test progressed, levels rapidly increased.

When the countdown began, the highest score had already reached 70 points. This candidate had a pair of compatible Dual Spiritual Roots and showcased impressive talent.

But soon, the first candidate to astonish the crowd emerged.

“89 points, A-grade rating!”

“Is that really the top-tier Triple Spiritual Roots?”

The evaluation system described Spiritual Roots as lower, upper, top-tier, and exceptional in a simplified manner.

Lower Spiritual Roots constituted ordinary roots.

Upper Spiritual Roots referred to lower roots with full completeness and spirit energy control.

The top-tier, extremely exceptional attributes Spiritual Roots.

Exceptional, the only extremely exceptional attributes Spiritual Roots.

“The Triple Fusion of extremely exceptional attributes is much stronger than the four-tier Spiritual Law, and controlling it is far more difficult than the four-tier Spiritual Law!”

“They are a large family specializing in extremely exceptional Triple Spiritual Roots, lowering the threshold for cultivation!”

“Such a quick emergence of extremely exceptional Triple Spiritual Roots; there may be even stronger ones to come!”

“My heart…”

Too many candidates lost confidence immediately.

The gap in talent was despairing even in current times; even if they enrolled, they were bound to remain ordinary, overshadowed by this individual.

The boy with 89 points wore a proud smile, looking down on everyone.

Ninety points marked another step up, and the likelihood of higher scores appearing thereafter was too low; his talent should be enough to place him in the top ten in the Spirit Law field!

Then, someone quickly proved him wrong.

A person stumbled out of the testing room, resisting dizziness. This was the burden on the brain after fully controlling the unruly spirit energy, and it gradually eased.

“Chi Xue falls!”

The one calling his name stepped forward to take his place.

This was a tall and handsome sixteen-year-old boy with red eyes. As he entered the testing room, a stunning red pattern expanded on his forehead in an instant, causing the spirit energy in the entire testing room to surge towards him, followed by a skyrocketing score display.

“97 points, A-grade rating!”

“Hiss…”

The white-haired boy gasped along with everyone else; it was astonishingly frightening, even making him, seated in the tenth position, gasp.

The only quadruple Spiritual Roots!

Exceptional class!

Such Spiritual Roots truly represented the top-tier talent of top-tier talent; he was only a bit behind this boy. If he could level up in other areas, he even had the possibility of becoming top ten. The handsome boy instantly became the most eye-catching one in the room.

And soon, everyone began to react.

“Chi Xue…”

“Could it be him?”

“It’s very likely! If he is the genius of Chi Xue, it wouldn’t be surprising for him to have such a talent!”

“Then why didn’t he go to Chi Xue? Why is he here at Purple Snow?”

“You are surprisingly uninformed; the Chi Xue clan isn’t only present in Chi Xue Academy… In fact, the five major schools share resources and promote development.”

Some people knew a bit but didn’t delve deeper.

Chi Xue.

Yun Ye was also very familiar with this name; it was one of the Royal Path powers in Tengzhou.

However, after the establishment of the New Heaven Celestial Empire, most Dao lineages were extinguished. Many Royal Path powers self-identified as such, and Chi Xue, while self-identified, was a pity to have been discovered. After annihilation, all their inheritances were claimed by the Celestial Empire, forming a school of thought.

Blue Ice and Purple Snow were different; they came from the Heavenly Continent’s Blue Ice Purple Snow Dao Palace, a branch developed after the destruction of that Royal Path power.

As a continuing school of the Royal Path, it wasn’t surprising for it to develop the only quadruple attributes in the new era. During the Tomorrow Nation period, Yun Ye reached the only triple attributes as well, and the New Heaven Celestial Empire had now existed for twenty thousand years; some schools easily conquered the unique quadruple attributes.

In reality, this kind of Spiritual Root was still just 97 points, still short of a perfect score.

And this only represented the first dimension of a cultivator.

According to Linglong’s explanation, a cultivator’s abilities consist of five dimensions, which directly determine their cultivation level.

Power tier: The size of the destructive capacity purely from the three powers, relying on techniques and talent; techniques refine the three powers, and talent decides their initial quality.

Scale tier: The size of the controllable power range; this is not about cultivation but about control over energy; the larger the scale one can wield compared to their cultivation, the higher the scale score, and simply having high cultivation won’t add points.

Property tier: The control levels of spirit, divinity, and vital essence; the higher the level, the stronger the effect of the three powers of the same quality.

Combat tier: Under the same cultivation, scale, and property tier, the speed and accuracy of using the three major techniques; it can be understood as combat skills.

The final dimension, of course, is ‘cultivation,’ mortal, spirit, law, mystery…

The combination of the five dimensions serves as a complete evaluation of a cultivator.

To form unique quadruple Spiritual Roots, one must specialize in one direction—spiritual control.

Without control, spirit energy transformed into high destructive power would only self-destruct, offering no practical value.

The essence of Spiritual Roots is to lower the control threshold, allowing cultivators to merge high destructive power spirit energy without danger.

For example, Yun Ye’s Earth’s Wind, Water, and Fire embryo is directly at the perfect fourth stage of spirituality, with a potential limit extending to the fifth stage.

Such top-tier Spiritual Roots combined with an elite physique can form a stage-setting Power of Opening Heaven and Earth without harming oneself.
