Chapter 570 - 169: Dark Horse
Yamamoto Taro, without exception, walked up to the stone lock weighing 150,000 jin.
Under the watchful eyes of Qin Qianyu and Jiang Nan, Ling Feng also walked up to the stone lock weighing 150,000 jin.
Qin Qianyu and Jiang Nan were not surprised.
Ling Feng possessed a top-grade spiritual root and was also a Mental Telekinesis Master. He had already resonated with the Fixed Word Spell; both his spiritual root level and mental telekinesis surpassed Jin Yifei’s.
Jin Yifei was able to lift a stone lock weighing 120,000 jin. With the addition of mental telekinesis, lifting a stone lock weighing 150,000 jin was not difficult for Ling Feng.
"Lift!"
Amidst a collective roar, Yamamoto Taro raised the stone lock weighing 150,000 jin over his head with both hands, then released one arm, holding the stone lock with one hand, and spun around twice in place.
"Wow!"
The crowd couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.
Unaffected, Ling Feng activated his spiritual power, lifting the stone lock weighing 150,000 jin over his head and dropping it once the required time had passed.
With the same score, he quickly advanced to the next round.
Qin Qianyu and Jiang Nan were both pleasantly surprised that Ling Feng managed to lift the stone lock using purely spiritual power without resorting to mental telekinesis.
They couldn’t help but wonder if Ling Feng had perhaps already established a Dao Field and entered the Divine Realm Domain.
Shortly after, it was Qin Qianyu’s turn, and he was paired with Rajiv.
"Was your power underground at the reception yesterday?"
Upon seeing Qin Qianyu, Rajiv immediately inquired.
"What?"
Qin Qianyu was puzzled.
"Nothing."
Rajiv smiled.
With his strong telepathy, he realized that Qin Qianyu genuinely didn’t know. It seemed the powerful origin force from yesterday wasn’t Qin Qianyu, and it couldn’t possibly be Ling Feng.
Now it seemed likely that it was Lu Jin.
According to intelligence, one of Lu Jin’s origin forces was Water Source Power.
"Lift!"
Qin Qianyu and Rajiv were both the center of attention.
Especially Rajiv, as a prince of the Divine Bull Country, his presence elicited waves of cheers, and there was no doubt about the strength of both, each easily achieving perfect scores.
Ten minutes later.
"Wow!"
The stage erupted with the most enthusiastic exclamations seen thus far.
It was none other than a Martial Dao student from the Yue Hou Country, Ting Wensan, who single-handedly lifted the 150,000 jin stone lock from the ground, extended his arm straight in front of him at chest level, and then lifted the stone lock over his head before tossing it to the ground.
"Damn!"
Ling Feng couldn’t help but curse.
This person exhibited only one power fluctuation, and that was spiritual power.
Though not inexhaustible, his spirit root level evidently reached super grade; lifting 150,000 jin was something he could even achieve with one arm, let alone 200,000 jin.
"Never heard of him before."
Qin Qianyu frowned.
Ting Wensan, the representative of Yue Hou Country.
The Yue Hou Country shares borders with both Great Xia Kingdom and Divine Bull Country, connected by a canal that runs through all three nations. Typically, the Yue Hou Country relies on Great Xia and Divine Bull Country for prosperity.
In past provincial trials, domestic martial arts students usually only made it to the third round before being eliminated.
No one expected a figure like Ting Wensan to emerge.
His spirit root level might have reached super grade.
Many found it unbelievable.
Compared to Great Xia Kingdom and Divine Bull Country, the geographical conditions in Yue Hou Country were more challenging.
Its resource aid from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance was also less than that of Divine Bull Country and Great Xia Kingdom, making the appearance of a Martial Dao student whose spiritual power seemed to outclass others quite surprising.
Even Jiang Nan and other representatives from the Divine Bull Country were quietly discussing it.
However, the competition didn’t stop.
Instead, it continued rapidly.
When Qin Qianyu put down his stone lock, Jin Yifei was already undergoing the second round test.
The second round tested speed.
Under the Resistance Array, a speed of 100 meters per second was a passing score. 150 meters per second was worth 80 points, 200 meters per second 90 points, and 300 meters per second a perfect score.
"Swish!"
Jin Yifei channeled all his spiritual power, using mental telekinesis to combat the resistance released by the array.
With an upper-grade spiritual root and a Sea of Consciousness Value close to 40.0, he ultimately achieved a speed of 200 meters per second, scoring 90 points.
He was satisfied.
Then it was Jin Chenchen’s turn.
"Boom!"
The resistance released by the array seemed to have been broken through, and Jin Chenchen’s speed reached 300 meters per second.
It’s important to note this was with the constraint of the Resistance Array.
The final speed was 321 meters per second, naturally a perfect score.
If the Resistance Array were removed, charging at full speed, Jin Chenchen’s speed would be around twice the speed of sound within a certain time.
This was already terrifying for a regional Martial Dao student.
Even Qin Qianyu wore a serious expression.
Very soon, it was Ling Feng’s turn.
Ling Feng stood within the Resistance Array, realizing the resistance matched his spiritual power, seemingly as if the array’s runes used spirit stones to release spiritual power.
"Boom!"
He pushed off with both feet, launching his body like an arrow, while keeping an eye on the changing data beside him. Very soon, his speed exceeded 300 meters per second.
While not his fastest speed and not at his full strength, achieving a perfect score left Ling Feng satisfied.
After all, even if he ran at 400 meters per second, the score was still perfect, so 300 meters per second was suffice.
Ling Feng’s final speed was 303 meters per second.
He advanced to the third round with perfect scores from the first two rounds.
Next was Wen Duoduo, who scored 80 points in the first round and 83 points in the second, smoothly advancing to the third round.
When it came time for Qin Qianyu’s second round, Jin Yifei advanced to the third round, the attack power test.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Both exploded with speed, while another unleashed attack power.
Qin Qianyu restrained his strength.
However, his speed still quickly exceeded 300 meters per second, reaching 320 meters per second, also advancing to the third round with a perfect score.
"Dang!"
Jin Yifei watched the Ancient Bell in front of him sway slightly, his expression a mix of disappointment and frustration.
The Ancient Bell was a defective magical artifact provided by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, capable of absorbing power. Despite using all his strength, the bell merely wobbled slightly.
His score in attack power was only 82 points, meaning he fell short of progressing to the final round.
Since the requirement for the final round was to have at least 90 points in each round.
"Bang!"
Jin Chenchen unleashed a punch.
Spiritual power surged like a vast ocean from his fist, forming an imprint within his Fist Technique, an imprint that seemed to be an origin.
The Ancient Bell vibrated intensely, swaying back and forth, with a ripple of spiritual power appearing on its surface.
It seemed the Ancient Bell was absorbing power.
points!
"What?"
Seeing his score, Jin Chenchen frowned; although he exceeded 90 points, he didn’t achieve perfection, clearly differing from his expectations.
"Boom!"
At the same time, a sound as if tearing through space was heard.
meters per second.
The Yue Hou Country martial arts student, Ting Wensan, achieved a perfect score at such speed.
Qin Qianyu, Rajiv, Yamamoto Taro, and even Jin Chenchen all felt the intent and provocative gaze of Ting Wensan’s scorching presence at that moment.
Everyone had serious expressions.
Various discussions filled Tisa Castle.
"Damn."
Yamamoto Taro’s face darkened.
Facing him, Ting Wensan made a disrespectful gesture.
"I’ll go first!"
In the attack power test, he was grouped with Ling Feng.
Ling Feng was about to step forward for the test when Yamamoto beat him to it.
In his spiritual power was intermixed a soil-yellow force, the Earth Source Power, but unfortunately, his Heaven and Earth Harmony Index was around 25.0.
The Earth Source Power was still in a tangible state, unlike Ling Feng’s Water Source Power, which had reached a substantial form and even produced Life Force.
"Boom!"
The Ancient Bell roared, rocking in all directions.
points!
Unfortunately, the score was only two points higher than Jin Chenchen’s.
"Nani?"
Yamamoto Taro was furious but helpless.
"Wow!"
The site erupted with a wave of astonished exclamations.
At the first round’s strength assessment scene, another final-round participant, also from Yue Hou Country, a Martial Dao student named Chen Junchen, astonishingly threw the 150,000 jin stone lock single-handedly into the air, reaching a height of 100 meters!
