The moment Yun Qingyue laid eyes on Ye Wushuang, her eyes were tinged with a hint of contempt and derision.
Ye Wushuang, just you wait!
You will never pass the first round of the Qingyun Academy exam!
And as for me, Yun Qingyue, I am like the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror—something you, a good-for-nothing, will never be able to touch in your entire life!
With a deep breath, Yun Qingyue took a step forward, clenched her fists tightly, and struck the drum surface with all her might.
*Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud…*
Nine rings echoed through the air.
“Yun Qingyue, rated as a genius. Await the second round of testing.”
At this moment, Yun Qingyue slowly stepped back. Her gaze fell upon Ye Wushuang once more, like that of a noble skylark, exuding an air of superiority.
Wang Xueqi stood in front of Ye Wushuang and said with a smile, “It seems that Yun Qingyue truly despises you.”
Ye Wushuang replied with a sense of helplessness, “Technically, it should be me who despises her, right?”
The examination continued.
“Qin Hao.”
A voice rang out again, and instantly, all eyes turned to the young man in white.
Qin Hao of the Qin family!
With his extraordinary talent and awakened bloodline power, he had been accepted as a clan member by the Qin clan of the Imperial Capital—something everyone was already aware of.
In fact, many of the warriors from various cities who had come to observe the examination had done so specifically to see Qin Hao.
At this moment, basking in the admiration of the crowd, Qin Hao walked step by step towards the strength-testing drum.
From the pavilion where the Qin family members were 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 Fangbo from the Qin clan of the Imperial Capital.
Seeing the Qin family members craning their necks to watch, Qin Yansong snorted, “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 exceed nine rings on the strength-testing drum.”
Qin Yongda nervously chuckled, “Master Yansong is right, you’re absolutely right…”
Nevertheless, 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-testing drum, Qin Hao took a deep breath. His eyes sparkled with supreme confidence. Then, with a step forward, he clenched his fist and punched the drum.
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, imbued with a touch of fantasy.
*Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud…*
Nine rings echoed through the air.
Just as everyone was filled with anticipation,
*Thud…*
The tenth ring!
It resounded clearly.
Ten rings!
Wasn’t the strength-testing drum supposed to only go up to nine rings?
When Bai Yi, the mentor, had introduced the drum earlier, he had mentioned that one ring, three rings, six rings, and nine rings corresponded to the levels of inferior, average, superior, and genius, respectively. But he never said that the drum could go beyond nine rings!
So, what level would be beyond nine rings?
At this moment, Bai Yi, seated at the main platform, also wore a look of astonishment.
Not to mention a place like Liuyue City, even in the various prefectural cities, it was rare to have someone exceed nine rings in the exams over the years.
*Thud…*
And just at that moment, another ring sounded.
Eleven rings!
However, before everyone could catch their breath,
*Thud…*
Twelve rings, echoing through the air.
Twelve rings!
Qin Hao had actually triggered twelve rings.
Even Tang Chuyi and Murong Ying were extremely astonished at this moment.
Twelve rings!
For Qin Hao to achieve twelve rings meant that he was undoubtedly among the top candidates in this year’s admissions, and he might even take the lead.
No wonder the Qin clan had specifically used their connections in Qingyun Academy to set up a special examination venue in Liuyue City to bolster his reputation.
At this moment, Qin Yongda could hardly contain his excitement and shouted, “May I ask Mentor Bai Yi, if nine rings are considered genius, what level should my son Qin Hao be rated at for hitting twelve rings?”
