The moment Yun Qingyue’s eyes met Ye Wushuang’s, they were filled with a mix of contempt and derision. Ye Wushuang, just you wait! You won’t pass the first round of the Qingyun Academy’s assessment! And as for me, Yun Qingyue, I am like the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror—a beauty you, a good-for-nothing, will never be able to touch in your entire life!
Yun Qingyue took a deep breath, stepped forward, clenched her fists, and delivered a powerful punch to the drum.
Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud…
Nine beats resounded.
“Yun Qingyue, genius level, proceed to the second round of testing.”
At that moment, Yun Qingyue slowly stepped back. Her gaze fell on Ye Wushuang again, and she looked down on him with the air of a noble songbird.
Wang Xueqi stood in front of Ye Wushuang and said with a smile, “It seems that Yun Qingyue really hates you to the core.”
Ye Wushuang replied helplessly, “Technically, I should be the one who hates her, right?”
The assessment continued.
“Qin Hao.”
The voice rang out again, and immediately, all eyes turned to the young man in white. Qin Hao from the Qin family!
With his extraordinary talent and awakened bloodline power, he had been accepted as a clan member by the Qin family in the capital. This was already common knowledge.
In fact, many of the warriors from various cities who had come to watch the assessment had done so because of Qin Hao’s reputation.
At this moment, basking in the admiration of the crowd, Qin Hao walked step by step to the strength-measuring drum.
From the pavilion where the Qin family was seated, Qin Yongda stood up excitedly. Qin Hao was the hope of the Qin family!
In the center of the Qin family’s area, two figures sat calmly. They were Qin Yansong and Qin Fangbai from the Qin family in the capital.
Seeing the Qin family members craning their necks to watch, Qin Yansong humphed, “This is just the first round. What’s there to get excited about? With Qin Hao’s awakened bloodline power, it’s a given that he will surpass nine beats on the strength-measuring drum.”
Qin Yongda nervously laughed and said, “You’re absolutely right, Elder Yansong.”
Even so, the Qin family members were still eager to see just how far Qin Hao could go.
At this moment, standing in front of the strength-measuring drum, Qin Hao felt the eyes of everyone on him, and even the surroundings fell silent. He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with extreme confidence. Then, he stepped forward, clenched his hand into a fist, and struck the drum with all his might.
In that instant, everyone felt as if waves of spiritual energy were swirling around Qin Hao, making him seem like a sage or an immortal, with a touch of otherworldly charm.
Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud…
Nine beats resounded.
Just as everyone was filled with anticipation.
Thud…
The tenth beat!
It echoed loudly.
Ten beats!
Wasn’t the strength-measuring drum only supposed to produce up to nine beats?
When Mentor Baiyi introduced the drum earlier, he mentioned that one beat, three beats, six beats, and nine beats corresponded to lower, medium, upper, and genius levels, respectively, but he didn’t say that the drum could go beyond nine beats!
So, what level would be beyond nine beats?
At this moment, Baiyi on the main platform also had a surprised expression on his face. Not only in a place like Liuyue City, but even in the larger county cities, it was rare to have someone surpass nine beats in years of assessments.
Thud…
And at that moment, another beat resounded.
Eleven beats!
However, before everyone could catch their breath.
Thud…
Twelve beats, echoing loudly.
Twelve beats!
Qin Hao had actually triggered twelve beats.
Even Tang Chuyi and Murong Ying were extremely astonished at this moment.
Twelve beats!
For Qin Hao to elicit twelve beats meant that he was undoubtedly among the top candidates in this recruitment round, and might even take the lead.
No wonder the Qin clan had specifically used their connections in the Qingyun Academy to open an examination venue in Liuyue City, just to build momentum for this Qin Hao.
At this moment, Qin Yongda could hardly contain himself and shouted, “May I ask Mentor Baiyi, nine beats is considered genius level. My son Qin Hao has struck twelve beats. What kind of evaluation should that be?”
