"Ha ha ha, everyone, come with me."
Xuan Hongchen chuckled upon seeing this and led everyone into a teaching building, walking all the way to a spacious room at the eastern end. The words "Physical Testing Room" were written in large characters above the door.
The moment everyone stepped into the room, the Soul Guidance Lamps on the ceiling automatically lit up, casting a soft Soul Guidance light. The room was filled with the same physical testing equipment that Xu Tianyang had used before.
After many years of optimization, the physical testing equipment was now even more accurate than before.
Everyone looked curiously at this huge spirit tool. For them, everything in the Sun Moon Empire was novel.
"Teacher Wang, you make the arrangements," Xuan Hongchen said to a thin man beside him.
The man nodded, sat down at the control panel, and turned to the crowd: "This is the physical testing equipment. Don't be nervous later; these Soul Guidance physical testing devices will not cause any harm to your bodies. Without further ado, let's start now. Which student wants to go first?"
"I'll go first!" Everyone looked at each other, and finally, Feng Xiaotian stepped forward and stood on the circular platform.
After Feng Xiaotian was ready, Teacher Lin activated the instrument, and another teacher immediately took out a notebook and pen, ready to record at any time.
"It's starting. Remember to relax your whole body," Teacher Wang reminded, then injected his spirit power into it.
A fan-shaped white light lit up at the top of this Soul Guidance physical testing device, scanning Feng Xiaotian's body carefully from top to bottom.
Meanwhile, the other teacher had already started recording and was announcing the recorded content.
"Feng Xiaotian, bone age twenty, spirit power fluctuation level forty-one, body strength level forty-seven, body toughness level forty-seven, mental strength level forty-six…"
The data was unremarkable. Although Feng Xiaotian's overall qualities exceeded his own level, at this age, this data was not particularly outstanding.
As the data was announced, the Heaven Dou people also discussed it curiously. It was the first time they had heard of quantifying physical fitness, but looking at the various instruments around them, they felt an inexplicable sense of awe.
It seemed their previous cultivation methods were not very professional.
"Dean Hongchen, what do you think of this child Feng Xiaotian's data?" Meng Shenji asked with a smile, stroking his long beard and looking curiously at Xuan Hongchen.
Hearing this, everyone also turned their gaze in that direction.
"It's passable," Xuan Hongchen said calmly, his tone flat: "Our data rating is derived from analyzing Spirit Master data of various levels collected from over half the country. It already approaches the enhancement brought by a high-grade Spirit. It's not bad for Student Feng Xiaotian to have this strength at his level, but unfortunately…"
"Unfortunately what?"
"Unfortunately, he is too old," Xuan Hongchen shook his head regretfully, uttering words that shocked everyone: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was close to this data at nine years old. Her Royal Highness Shuang'er was a bit later, but she also reached this point at eleven years old."
"What!" Hearing this, everyone looked at Xuan Hongchen in astonishment.
Had His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire become so monstrous? Didn't that mean he could defeat a twenty-year-old Feng Xiaotian at nine years old?
They also didn't believe Xuan Hongchen would lie about a fact that could be so easily exposed.
"How can a Spirit Master's strength be judged solely by physical data? Our Brother Feng possesses Innate Full spirit power and has even completed a self-created Spirit Ability, which is an achievement even a Titled Douluo might not be able to accomplish."
Listening to Xuan Hongchen's evaluation, the people from Shenfeng Academy immediately felt indignant and loudly retorted.
"Innate Full spirit power!"
This time, it was the people from the Sun Moon Empire who were shocked. They looked at the 'unremarkable' Feng Xiaotian in surprise. Did he really possess such talent?
In the past hundred years of the Sun Moon Empire, only six recorded individuals had Innate Full spirit power, and in the last decade, Xu Tianyang was the only one.
This showed how rare Innate Full spirit power was.
"Your academy truly has excellent teaching methods!" Xuan Hongchen almost widened his narrowed eyes in shock, his gaze flickering strangely between Feng Xiaotian and the teachers of Shenfeng Academy.
Feng Xiaotian walked down from the testing platform somewhat uncomfortably. Xuan Hongchen's gaze, as if looking at an idiot, had somewhat broken his composure.
Teacher Wang was even more outspoken, looking at the people from Shenfeng Academy and asking: "If you don't know how to teach, then don't. A good sapling has been wasted by you. If he were in our Sun Moon Empire, he would at least be a high-level Spirit King at this age."
"What do you know? That's a self-created Spirit Ability! A self-created Spirit Ability that even a Titled Douluo might not be able to comprehend." Being questioned about their teaching ability, the people from Shenfeng Academy immediately became displeased and couldn't help but loudly retort.
"Since you yourself said that a Titled Douluo might not be able to create a self-created Spirit Ability, how can you be sure that he, a mere Spirit King, can do it?"
"And don't you understand that the foundation of a Spirit Master is spirit power? Even though our Sun Moon Empire emphasizes the level of Soul Engineers, we also strictly stipulate that students' Spirit Master levels cannot fall behind. But you, you've put the cart before the horse.
Is a Spirit King-level Feng Xiaotian stronger? Or is your Spirit King Feng Xiaotian, who has researched a so-called self-created Spirit Ability, stronger?"
"The golden cultivation period of a Spirit Master has been wasted by you like this. In the future, he could have broken through to Titled Douluo, or even level ninety-five or ninety-six. But now, whether he can break through level ninety is an unknown."
Being scolded back, the teachers of the Sun Moon Empire were not polite either, exchanging words that made the teachers of Shenfeng Academy and Feng Xiaotian turn pale.
"Did I really make a mistake?" Feng Xiaotian, disheartened, hung his head, looking as if he was doubting his entire life.
Many people from the other five academies also felt that the people from the Sun Moon Empire made sense and looked at Feng Xiaotian with pity.
The genius of yesteryear was merely a pitiful soul who had gone astray, wasting his talent for nothing.
In fact, if Xu Tianyang were present, he might not have thought Feng Xiaotian was wasting his talent.
The people of the Sun Moon Empire focused on the development of spirit tools.
Self-created Spirit Ability?
What is that? Is it as practical as one Soul Guidance Cannon shot? If one doesn't work, then two, three… In their view, Spirits were used to better assist in the use of spirit tools.
However, once a Spirit Master's cultivation reached beyond level ninety-five, the energy required for advancement was enormous. Unless one had twin Spirits and attached spirit rings to the second Spirit during the Titled Douluo stage to gain energy.
Or there was the even rarer method of a divine examination.
Otherwise, a Spirit Master would enter a profound stage of comprehension. In this stage, the Spirit Master needed to deeply understand their own Spirit, tap into their potential, and achieve breakthroughs.
The process of creating a self-created Spirit Ability was precisely a process of understanding one's own Spirit. In a sense, Feng Xiaotian was already ahead of many people.
Like a certain Radiant Phoenix tens of thousands of years later, full of petty calculations. Even with Mu En's hand-on guidance, he couldn't learn to rule the world. His own personality didn't align with the essence of the Radiant Phoenix, so he was slow to break through.
This was also the reason for the scarcity of Super Douluo in the history of the Sun Moon Continent, because they simply did not understand their own Spirits.
Two different paths, neither right nor wrong, as long as it suits oneself, then it is correct.
"I believe Feng Xiaotian and Shenfeng Academy have their own considerations. This issue will not be debated here. Tianheng, Feng Xiaotian has finished testing, you go next," Meng Shenji said hastily, changing the subject, seeing that Feng Xiaotian was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
