Chapter 494: Chapter 223: Returning to Silence! SSS-rank Potential
On the secondary screen in the observation hall, the three metal rings above Xiao Lingchen and Xia Lianxue’s heads gradually slowed their rotation, finally coming to a complete stop with a soft hum.
Following that, their test results appeared on the leaderboard in succession.
[Examinee: Xiao Lingchen]
[Spiritual Awakening Probability: Extremely High]
[Potential Rating: S+]
[Examinee: Xia Lianxue]
[Spiritual Awakening Probability: Extremely High]
[Potential Rating: S+]
The two identical, top-tier evaluations made the crowd of onlookers erupt in gasps of amazement once again.
"Two S+ ratings... My god. Their First Martial Arts Spirituality is SS-rank, and they still have S+ potential for a second one. Those two..."
"The heavens have been far too generous to them!"
In the main seat, Zhu Mingyi gazed at the two results, the delight on his face growing even more pronounced. He spoke with a touch of deep feeling.
"This business of Martial Arts Spirituality... it’s truly a profound mystery."
"For an ordinary Martial Artist, awakening even one is a great blessing. To have an SS-rank first Spirituality and still possess the potential to awaken a second... that’s exceedingly rare."
Yi Jiugao nodded. This was widely accepted as common knowledge.
The heavens were fair. When they granted someone unparalleled talent, they usually didn’t give anything more.
Most Martial Artists with SS-rank Spiritualities could go their entire lives without the free-roaming Spiritual Factors in their bodies ever coalescing again.
Even in the few exceptional cases where a second Spirituality was awakened, its rating was usually B-rank or lower. It could only serve a supplementary role, never becoming a true source of core combat strength.
His gaze fell upon the two S+ ratings on the screen, and he spoke:
"An ’Extremely High’ awakening probability means the amount of Spiritual Factors within their bodies is already sufficient to support a new awakening. As for an S+ potential rating, that is rarer still."
"The All-Seeing Instrument’s ratings are always conservative. For it to give an S+, it means the Spirituality they ultimately awaken has a chance of reaching SS-rank again!"
Dual SS-rank Martial Arts Spiritualities!
Throughout the entire history of Great Xia, and even across the whole world, individuals with such talent were a mere handful!
Every single one had the potential to become one of the most outstanding figures among the ranks of Martial Saints!
And now, two had appeared at the same time in a single Great Xia martial arts college entrance exam!
However, just as everyone was reeling from the potential of these two, their gazes subconsciously converged on the main screen that dominated their field of view.
In the image on the screen, Lin Ye was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, his expression calm.
The All-Seeing Instrument above his head was still spinning madly at an incredible speed. The roaring sound it produced, far from diminishing, grew even louder and higher-pitched, like a super-engine about to redline!
Inside the hall, many people glanced at the split screens around them.
Those examinees with no hope of awakening a second Spirituality had already moved on to the six dynamic tests.
A flood of test data—punching power, explosive speed—began to continuously update their respective leaderboards.
Even Xiao Lingchen and Xia Lianxue, after a brief moment of adjustment, were now standing in front of the force-sensing targets in their respective testing areas, preparing to begin the next test.
Only Lin Ye.
His test for spiritual potential seemed to have no end, holding up the rhythm of the entire examination.
Yi Jiugao raised his wrist and glanced at the time on his personal terminal.
Fifteen minutes had passed since the test began!
Fifteen minutes!
It should be known that the process of the All-Seeing Instrument stimulating spiritual potential usually doesn’t take more than five minutes.
It had been operating at maximum power for a full fifteen minutes, yet it still showed no signs of stopping!
This could only mean one thing—
The scale and volume of the latent, free-roaming Spiritual Factors within Lin Ye’s body were so appallingly vast that even a precision instrument like the All-Seeing Instrument was struggling to handle them!
「Another five minutes passed.」
While some of the faster examinees had even begun their endurance tests, the All-Seeing Instrument on the main screen, which had been spinning madly for twenty minutes, finally showed the slightest sign of slowing down.
At that very moment, inside the testing room, Lin Ye’s consciousness plunged into an endless darkness.
He felt his soul and body being stretched and sublimated by an invisible force, ultimately transcending the dimension of reality.
Once again, he saw a vision.
It was completely different from the vision of creation he’d had last time when he awakened the Celestial Attraction of Myriad Phenomena. Back then, he had witnessed the congregation of all things, the birth of a sea of stars, and the universe emerging from nothingness to flourish.
This time, he saw the end.
The annihilation of all things.
Before his eyes, the brilliant, sprawling river of stars began to go out, one by one.
Countless stars in the cosmos exhausted all their fuel. After silent, magnificent explosions, they collapsed into cold white dwarfs, their light rapidly dimming.
Farther away, a blue giant of even greater mass reached the end of its life. Its core collapsed, triggering a supernova that swept across a region hundreds of light-years wide, before it transformed into a black hole that devoured everything around it.
In Lin Ye’s perception, time was stretched to infinity.
He saw countless dwarf stars finally cool.
He saw the evaporation of countless black holes, saw the last glimmer of light in the universe die out, and saw the final form of all matter slowly decompose and dissipate over an incalculably long expanse of time.
Protons decayed, atoms disintegrated.
All things with form returned to nothingness.
The entire universe ultimately became a uniform, cold void, without a single ripple to disturb it.
