Buzz…
A buzzing sound echoed through the arena, and in an instant, one of the three figures present vanished, ejected from the battlefield. The sight that met everyone’s eyes was so astonishing that they all gaped in disbelief, their minds numb with shock.
At that moment, a tall and slender figure exhaled deeply, slowly opening his eyes. It was Qin Hao. He felt certain that he had endured the longest among them all. In terms of the resilience of his martial spirit, Ye Wushuang couldn’t even compare, and that was a given. As for the others, they stood no chance against him. After all, with the awakening of his bloodline power, his strength and talent had surged dramatically, something ordinary geniuses could never match.
However, as Qin Hao looked around, he was met with gazes filled with astonishment, confusion, and even… disappointment. What did this mean?
“Qin Hao, if you can last over an hour, you will be rated as an extraordinary genius,” the voice of the disciple responsible for recording the results rang out.
Qin Hao let out a soft breath. An extraordinary genius? That was the highest rating possible. Bai Yi had mentioned earlier that no martial artist in the body-refining stage could possibly exceed two hours. An extraordinary genius was the pinnacle of praise. So why did everyone look so off?
Unless…
Qin Hao’s expression changed abruptly as he swiftly turned around, his eyes darting towards the Four Spirits Heart-Testing Formation. There, two figures sat cross-legged. Ye Wushuang! Yun Qingyue!
For a moment, Qin Hao’s mind went blank. How could this be? Ye Wushuang had actually lasted longer than him. And Yun Qingyue… that delicate, seemingly frail Yun Qingyue who had always acted so weak in front of him, was still holding on.
In that instant, Ye Wushuang’s words echoed in his mind:
“Qin Hao, use your brain, would I really drug Yun Ziyin?”
“Qin Hao, this seemingly delicate Yun Qingyue is actually a martial artist in the body-refining stage!”
“Qin Hao…”
At that moment, his head felt like it was buzzing. For a full quarter of an hour, he stood there motionless until another voice broke the silence.
“Yun Qingyue, having lasted an hour and a quarter, you are rated as an extraordinary genius.”
A graceful figure now stood beside Qin Hao. It was Yun Qingyue.
“Hao brother, you…” Yun Qingyue looked genuinely surprised.
“Qingyue, you’re really something,” Qin Hao said with a self-mocking smile. “You lasted longer than me.”
Noticing Qin Hao’s odd expression, Yun Qingyue quickly explained, “Hao brother, I am a girl, after all. Inside the Four Spirits Heart-Testing Formation, when I was surrounded by men during the emotional test, I only thought of Hao brother. It was easy for me to pass.”
“Hao brother, how about you?”
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao’s cheeks turned slightly red. During the emotional test, the alluring women had been too tempting. He had almost lost himself and was distracted, which affected his ability to focus fully in the subsequent stages of the test.
Yun Qingyue moved closer to Qin Hao, linking her arm with his, and teased, “Hao brother, you’re blushing. Did you almost fail to resist?”
“You’re so mean! You had other women on your mind, which is why you didn’t last as long as me. And now you’re blaming me?” Yun Qingyue playfully scolded.
Hearing this, Qin Hao quickly replied, “I’m not blaming you. It’s my fault. My willpower wasn’t strong enough. I’ll definitely focus more in my future cultivation.”
“It’s okay,” Yun Qingyue quickly reassured him. “Even if Hao brother has other women in the future, Qingyue will always love you.”
Hearing this, Qin Hao was deeply moved but also inwardly scolded himself. Yun Qingyue had proven herself stronger in the heart test, and her future achievements would likely be great. She was a perfect match for him. Yet, he had felt a pang of jealousy just because she had outperformed him in this aspect. How could he be so petty?
At that moment, Yun Qingyue, leaning against Qin Hao’s chest, wore a contented smile on her face. But inside, she was sneering coldly.
