Among the onlookers, the flashing light of martial soul release continued to illuminate the crowd.
Those soul masters who collapsed to the ground seemed to have short-circuited their martial souls, releasing them without conscious control, yet their martial souls couldn't be released properly, their bodies flickering between light and darkness.
Their skin began to show scales of different colors and shapes due to the pressure, and the faint dragon roars emanating from their bodies carried no killing intent, but rather sounded like wails.
Ning Fengzhi observed the surrounding scene and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems these people's martial souls have met their leader. This is submission in both spirit and body. Dragons are unyielding and proud, so this process of submission is extremely painful."
"Old Li! Finish this test first!"
the old woman responsible for recording speed shouted to the Soul Douluo in the center of the arena, but received no response.
Xue Qinghe looked over in confusion and found that the Soul Douluo testing physical strength was still standing in the same spot, without moving an inch.
"He's trembling."
Ning Fengzhi, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed something was wrong.
Trembling... Xue Qinghe frowned slightly. As if suddenly remembering something, she quickly looked at the old woman: "What is that senior's martial soul?"
"Fire Armor Dragon."
"Dragon... I see. It's an unbelievable coincidence that the senior in charge of the assessment was also suppressed by that boy!"
Xue Qinghe said incredulously.
"But he's a Soul Douluo!"
"At this point, soul power is meaningless. If he weren't a Soul Douluo, he would be lying on the ground right now."
Xue Qinghe explained earnestly, staring intently at Chi Xiu, her pale golden eyes revealing intense curiosity.
So this boy's physical stats were so outstanding because his martial soul belonged to the dragon bloodline with extremely high purity. But how high?
"Let's change the examiner. Otherwise, this data can't be measured, and even if it is, there will be a large error."
"I'll do it!"
At this moment, the old woman in charge of recording strength volunteered.
The old woman glanced at him: "Be careful with your strength. Your soul power is too surging and domineering; it might hurt the child."
"Testing his limits is fine too... Of course, of course, I'll definitely control it."
The old man recording the strength laughed. He was originally a strength-type soul master, and it was precisely because of his profound understanding of strength that he was so surprised by Chi Xiu's performance during the test.
This child's physical data was currently too heaven-defying, even perfect. If he didn't put some pressure on him in terms of physical strength and expose his flaws, the students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would be extremely frustrated.
Moreover, as someone who was also proud of his strength, he really wanted to dampen the child's confidence. After all, he had put in so much hardship to achieve this, while Chi Xiu, who had such talent from the very beginning, was truly enviable.
"Boy, if you're ready, just say 'start'."
Chi Xiu looked at the burly old man opposite him, his expression calm. He nodded slightly and replied, "Let's begin."
One soul ring after another appeared on the old man's body: two yellow, two purple, and four black—a perfect combination of soul rings.
He raised his thick right hand, compressing his soul power in his palm, causing the surrounding air currents to seem sharpen.
Xue Qinghe, standing in the crowd, had sharp eyes.
"No, he's not applying pressure according to the normal testing standards; this is already aggressive. What is he trying to do, Director Tong?"
Xue Qinghe looked at the old woman with a serious expression.
"I don't know what that old guy is trying to do...maybe he wants to test the child's limits."
"Test the limits? This is just a data test!"
Xue Qinghe was extremely displeased.
"Perhaps that old man just wanted to prove that there are no perfect Soul Masters in this world. Qinghe, calm down. With so many people watching, Chi Xiu shouldn't be injured, but he probably won't get a perfect score in this test."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly, his gaze fixed on the center of the arena.
The old man pushed forward with his palm, and a sonic boom faintly echoed in the surrounding air. A dense, pale purple Soul Power swept towards Chi Xiu.
Ning Fengzhi was forced back a step by the overflowing Soul Power. He raised his head, his expression changing instantly!
Such a powerful Soul Power attack! This was definitely not a test anymore...
How dare he do this with so many people watching?!
"Teacher!"
Xue Qinghe looked at Ning Fengzhi anxiously.
"I was wrong. Save him first!"
Ning Fengzhi frowned, opened his right hand, and a radiant Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in his palm, ready to amplify it.
But it was too late. The surging Soul Power had already swept in front of Chi Xiu, and his school uniform was flying wildly backward.
After the commotion, silence reigned.
The entire first-floor lobby was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Chi Xiu's school uniform was torn to shreds, revealing the skin beneath, but this skin was covered with a faint, multicolored halo—the aura emanating from the meteorite stone fused with his body.
Chi Xiu slowly lowered his hand from his eyes, looking at the old man opposite him with a puzzled expression. "
Does this old man have some grudge against me?"
But everyone's focus was elsewhere. They stared in disbelief at Chi Xiu's feet; the starting line was still at his heels…
He was still standing there!
Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi, who had almost reached the center of the field, now stood frozen in place, their expressions bewildered, staring blankly at the spot beneath Chi Xiu's feet. "
He's not... he's not injured…
and not only is he not injured, but he hasn't moved at all?!"
Just to be on the safe side, Ning Fengzhi went to Chi Xiu and carefully checked him over: "Are you alright? Are you injured?"
Chi Xiu shook his head: "No, but my clothes couldn't withstand the pressure and were torn."
When he felt an aggressive force approaching him, the Meteorite Stone immediately activated its protective ability, dissipating the attacking force into smaller pieces.
Xue Qinghe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing that Chi Xiu was unharmed. Her expression quickly turned cold as she looked at the burly old man on the other side, her eyes flashing with a fierce light.
How dare he make such a move under her nose? He's simply asking for trouble!
"You're dismissed. If you have any complaints, you can raise them with the academy's higher-ups."
The burly old man looked at her with a complicated expression, but knowing he was in the wrong, he couldn't say anything at this moment.
Upon hearing this, the elderly woman surnamed Tong approached Xue Qinghe and lowered her voice, saying, "Your Highness, he is one of the academy's academic committee members. This action was certainly for the students' benefit, although the method... may have lacked some consideration. However, dismissing him requires a vote by the academy's academic committee."
Xue Qinghe snorted coldly, showing no respect whatsoever: "If you have any objections, go raise them with the higher-ups. Whether a meeting is needed or not is none of my business. I only need to see him dismissed. After this matter is over, I will discuss the matter of reforming the academy's higher-ups with Father."
It was a great effort for the Spirit Hall to discover such a genius Soul Master. If it weren't for this connection, Qian Renxue wouldn't have spoken so kindly. She couldn't tolerate even a speck of dust in her eyes.
