Wang Xueqi, Ye Wushuang, and Xiao Yuan were now all lining up in turn.
Ye Wushuang had previously thought that Xiao Yuan must be nineteen years old, but to her great surprise, he was actually only seventeen. The burly Xiao Yuan hardly looked like a seventeen-year-old. At this moment, over twelve hundred people formed ten lines to begin the strength test.
“The first one, Liu He!” As the disciples of Qingyun Academy started to call out names, a young man stepped forward. Looking at the two-meter-tall, one-meter-diameter strength-testing drum in front of him, the young man took a deep breath, stepped back, clenched his hand into a fist, and then struck the center of the drum with a sudden punch.
*Thud…* A dull sound echoed. The first ring. The second ring. The third ring… Three rings sounded, and then there was no more movement. The examining disciple immediately declared, “Liu He, three rings, average, failed.”
Upon hearing this, the young man named Liu He’s expression darkened, his fists clenched tightly. He suddenly raised his head and said, “Give me another chance!” However, the disciple in charge of recording the results looked at Liu He indifferently and said, “Each person only has one chance!”
Liu He pleaded, “I’ll just try one more time.” “If you say any more, you’ll be disqualified from participating in the Qingyun Academy examination for the next two years!” Hearing this, Liu He’s face changed, and he eventually left with a dejected expression.
Qingyun Academy held strict admissions every year and would never change its rules for anyone. “The next one, Li Xiang!” At this moment, the examination gradually began. In a short while, more than fifty or sixty people had already been tested, but surprisingly, not a single one reached the genius level; the best was only upper-class. This undoubtedly put immense pressure on the children from various cities who were still waiting to take the exam.
*Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud…* Just at this moment, in front of the second strength-testing drum, suddenly nine consecutive drum sounds rang out. “Qing Chengtian, nine rings, genius, passed the first round.” As the voice sounded, everyone looked at the person who had passed the exam with envy. He looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a green robe, with a green belt around his waist and a jade pendant, making him stand out from the crowd.
“Hahaha, very good, very good, very good…” At this moment, in a pavilion outside the martial field, a middle-aged man with a long beard stood up, clapping and laughing, “My son is really something.” Wang Xueqi looked over and said, “Qing Chengtian is the son of the city lord of Qingmu City, Qing Zhonghao. He is now eighteen years old, at the ninth level of physical training, and in Qingmu City, no one can compete with him!”
“Besides him, there is also the son of the city lord of Wuping City, Wu Yeh, named Wu Feiyang; the son of the city lord of Shanyin City, Shi Wenyao, named Shi Yan; and the son of the city lord of Yuechi City, Yue Luming, named Yue Tianzong. All of them have the strength of the eighth or ninth level.”
“If Qin Hao hadn’t awakened his bloodline power before, he would have been about the same as these people, but after awakening his bloodline power, Qin Hao is much stronger than them.” As the daughter of the city lord, Wang Xueqi apparently knew a lot of things.
The strength test was still ongoing. In a short while, another nine rings burst out. It was Wu Feiyang from Wuping City, mentioned by Wang Xueqi earlier, who also hit nine rings. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the tests had been completed, with six hundred people having taken the exam, but the number of those who passed was less than sixty. This was just the first round of the exam, and already there was a ten-to-one elimination rate. This is Qingyun Academy! It’s not that easy to get into Qingyun Academy!
“The next one, Yun Qingyue.” Just at this moment, in front of a strength-testing drum, a voice sounded. Yun Qingyue, who looked like a phoenix among people, walked out gracefully. Her seemingly slender figure now had a bit more sharpness. Qin Hao, standing not far behind her, said with a smile, “Qingyue, come on.” “Mm.” Yun Qingyue smiled sweetly, nodded, and her eyes searched through the crowd, eventually focusing on Ye Wushuang in the line…
