Chapter 257: Can’t Be Measured?!
"Ziyue, congratulations, dual first place, you’re truly deserving of the top rank."
When Murong Ziyue returned, Xin Lin congratulated her.
"Thank you."
Murong Ziyue hesitated briefly before expressing her gratitude.
She felt somewhat uncomfortable and said coyly.
"What are you thanking me for? If you help me once, I help you once, it’s fair, we’re all friends."
Seeing Murong Ziyue’s reaction, Xin Lin found it somewhat amusing, but her mind wasn’t really on teasing her at the moment, as her entire focus was on the upcoming tests.
The first, third, and fourth place winners of the Written Examination had already undergone their assessments, leaving only Xin Lin, who held the second place in the Written Examination, yet to be assessed.
All eyes were, thus, trained on Xin Lin.
"Is that Xin Zhuo’s sister, could she also be a mighty Spirit Master?"
"Are you dumb, having one Spirit Master in a family is a reason to thank the heavens, let alone two."
"I think she’s probably a Martial Artist, her martial talent should be pretty good."
Jin Chen snorted upon hearing the surrounding comments.
The younger is a genius, and so is the elder?
Nice dream, this Xin Lin is cunning beyond her years, unlike the honest Xin Zhuo. How could someone like her seriously learn martial arts.
Even her second place in the Written Exam was tricked out.
Just by making a flippant remark about the Emperor, she got the second place.
He didn’t believe that she’d be so lucky in the Martial Arts Examination.
Xin Lin walked up to the Longteng Stele.
"Pride Corpse, what grade of talent do you think I can achieve?"
Xin Lin asked quietly.
She aimed for top three in the Zixiao Palace Exam, she’d need to achieve at least top five in the Martial Arts Examination results.
Pride Corpse had been accurately predicting the assessment results just while watching, surely he was also clear about her level of cultivation.
"Fu Xi’s Energy for seven days."
Unexpectedly, Gui Hu became evasive at this moment.
"You’re raising the price on the spot, I’ll do it myself."
Feeling frustrated, Xin Lin gathered Fu Xi’s Energy into her fist.
She put all her strength into it and was about to throw her punch.
Her fist slammed into the Longteng Stele with a loud thud, and the stele shook several times.
Next to her, General Zuo glanced over subtly.
An expert is recognized as soon as they make a move.
Regardless of Xin Lin’s level of cultivation, the speed and strength of her punch just now were astonishing and didn’t match her age.
"Ziyue, do you think my sister might be just a bit stronger than Jin Chen?"
Little Xinzhuo, anxious, blinked rapidly, staring at the Longteng Stele.
"Unlikely."
Murong Ziyue shook her head.
Xin Lin seemed to lack True Qi within her.
The only hope was that she and little Xinzhuo had the same Spiritual Practitioner talent. After all, in Murong Ziyue’s view, as siblings, Xin Lin and Xin Zhuo’s talents shouldn’t differ too drastically.
Time trickled by, and it had been a while since Xin Lin threw her punch, but the Longteng Stele was still blank.
"Haha, what a waste."
Seeing this, Jin Chen knew that just like Chu Miaoyun before, Xin Lin had no True Qi in her body.
Without True Qi, what kind of Martial Artist was that?
"At least I am..."
Xin Lin wanted to say that she, at least, was a martial master with middle talent, as confirmed by the Heaven-defying Book earlier.
General Zuo opened his mouth, ready to ask Xin Lin to step down.
"Hold on, I want to test again. General Zuo, I was testing for True Qi just now, I’d like to test for Spiritual Power now."
Xin Lin’s eyes shifted as she changed her plea.
Testing for Spiritual Power and Martial Power separately, what kind of situation was this?
The other examinees were dissatisfied.
"Try one more time, there’s a limit of three."
General Zuo intended to rebuke her, but seeing Xin Lin’s pleading face and considering her relationship with the Seventh Prince, he waved his hand and signaled for Xin Lin to hurry and test again.
