Chapter 491: Chapter 222: So What About Divine Will? Truly Unprecedented
"However, when it comes to cultivating top young geniuses, we can’t afford to be blindly arrogant or narrow-minded."
"The world is vast, and there are too many freaks of nature out there. They just don’t all happen to be from our Great Xia."
Yi Jiugao’s tone remained placid.
But his words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly dousing most of the joy that had just sparked in Zhu Mingyi’s heart.
’He’s right. Great Xia is advancing, but aren’t other nations and factions also developing at a breakneck pace?’
Just as everyone in the hall thought the competition for this year’s top scorer was a foregone conclusion, destined to be decided between Xiao Lingchen and Xia Lianxue, the main screen flickered again without warning.
A young face, unfamiliar to the vast majority of those present, appeared in the center of the screen.
When Li Kai Nian saw that face, he jolted violently!
He never would have imagined that at this moment, with all eyes watching, the next person randomly selected by the main screen would be Lin Ye!
...
Inside the pure-white testing room.
Lin Ye stood in the center of the sensor area, finding it rather novel that this advanced technology could perform a full assessment without a Qi Blood Pod.
’The capital of Great Xia lives up to its name. Its technology is truly a cut above the rest.’
At the same time, he silently activated [Phase Shift]!
P2 Mode, instantly activated!
Immediately after, he used the [Frenzy] skill without hesitation!
HUM—
An indescribable, immense power surged from every corner of his body in an instant, flooding his entire being!
Outwardly, Lin Ye’s appearance didn’t change at all.
But his All Attributes had silently doubled!
The Gang Sha within him, like a raging river, was mobilized by his will and began to circulate at an unprecedented, frantic speed!
This was the ultimate testing ground, where the most exceptional geniuses from all of Great Xia had gathered.
Lin Ye had no intention of holding anything back.
He was going to reveal everything he had, right here, without reservation!
...
"This young man... he looks a little unfamiliar."
From the main seat, He Zhenghong asked as he looked at Lin Ye on the screen.
Zhu Mingyi smiled, seemingly having anticipated this. "It’s normal that he’s unfamiliar. He’s a dark horse who fought his way out of the Qiming General Star Training Camp in Ninghai this year. His Martial Arts Spirituality is also SS-rank."
"Oh? And what realm has he reached?" He Zhenghong’s interest was piqued.
Zhu Mingyi flipped through the top-secret file at his side, which contained records for only a handful of people, and quickly found Lin Ye’s information.
"Gang Condensation Realm, mid-stage."
As soon as he said this, the interest in He Zhenghong’s eyes faded somewhat. He merely gave a noncommittal nod.
Zhu Mingyi could also clearly sense that both Yi Jiugao and He Zhenghong beside him had visibly lost some interest upon hearing the term "Gang Condensation Realm."
’Right, just a Gang Condensation Realm.’
’No matter how much of a dark horse he is, or how powerful his SS-rank spirituality might be, trying to challenge those two monsters who have already stepped into the Divine Realm based on raw stats is a complete fantasy.’
Everyone believed this was just a random selection.
However, in the very next second, two numbers flashed onto the main screen—numbers that would shatter the perceptions of everyone present and even overturn the entire history of the Martial Arts Era!
The entire hall was once again plunged into dead silence.
Zhu Mingyi didn’t look at the numbers on the main screen at first, but he instantly noticed the shift in atmosphere.
He frowned and looked up.
With just one glance, the right hand holding the file trembled uncontrollably!
[Examinee: Lin Ye]
[Qi and Blood Index: 45687.9]
[Life Index: 264762.7]
The entire viewing hall fell into a silence more complete and prolonged than any before!
Everyone’s brains seemed to short-circuit at that moment.
They stared fixedly at the two ridiculously long strings of numbers on the screen, even beginning to wonder if the shock had caused them to hallucinate.
"Is there something wrong with the equipment?"
"Over forty thousand Qi and Blood? A Life Index of over two hundred and sixty thousand?! How is that possible?!"
"You’ve got to be kidding me!"
The brief silence was followed by a thunderous uproar of disbelief and doubt!
Sitting in his seat, Li Kai Nian felt as if all the blood in his body was rushing to his head. His hands and feet went cold, but his body began to tremble violently, uncontrollably.
He had thought Lin Ye could get a perfect score!
He had even dared to imagine that Lin Ye might create a small miracle!
But he never could have imagined that what Lin Ye delivered wasn’t a miracle, but a divine miracle!
A divine miracle that would make all other geniuses pale in comparison and leave every expert speechless!
From the main seat, Zhu Mingyi abruptly reached his hand backward.
His adjutant, standing behind him, was still dazed and didn’t react.
"My reading glasses!"
Zhu Mingyi barked, his voice laced with a barely perceptible urgency.
The adjutant finally snapped out of it, fumbling in his pocket to pull out a pair of reading glasses and hand them over.
Zhu Mingyi put on the glasses and leaned closer to the monitor before him, carefully counting the absurdly long Life Index number, digit by digit.
’That’s right!’
’It’s a six-digit number!’
’My eyes aren’t deceiving me!’
’And the equipment isn’t malfunctioning!’
And at the very instant Zhu Mingyi confirmed all this, every trace of lethargy and indifference vanished from the face of the man beside him—Yi Jiugao, who had appeared disinterested from the very beginning, as if nothing before him could stir his emotions!
He shot upright in his seat. His once serene and unwavering eyes were now locked onto Lin Ye’s figure on the screen, burning with an unprecedented, almost scorching intensity!
