Lei Jing slightly glanced in the direction of Zhang Ruochen and Luo Shuihan before sitting aside and resting his eyes.
That one silver-robed elder returned to his original position and tried to calm himself as he said, “The strength test will now begin. Who will go first?”
“I’ll go first!”
Confident, Xue Qingshang walked to the front of the test stone wall, used all his true qi, and struck the stone wall with his palm.
“Boom!”
On the stone wall, seven silver-coloured lines appeared.
Xue Qingshang frowned slightly and yelled, “Heavenly Mighty Palm.”
“Boom!”
With the second palm, a golden line and four silver lines appeared out of the stone wall.
That one silver-robed elder announced the results, “Xue Qingshang, first palm, the strength of zero point seven barbarian elephants;second palm, the strength of one point four barbarian elephants. Qualified, can enter the next round of testing.”
A weakest Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist erupted with the strength of almost a barbarian elephant.
The 《Earth Ranking》 test, was very harsh, only martial artists who reached the power of a head of barbarian beasts were considered to have passed the first round of the power test.
On the stone wall, a silver stripe represented the power of zero point one barbarian elephant.
A gold-coloured stripe represented the strength of a savage beast.
Feeling quite satisfied with his power, Xue Qingshang stared over towards Zhang Ruochen, revealing a few proud looks.
A little bit of the power of four Barbarian Elephants was already able to fight against the weakest Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artists, and was considered to have barely reached the level of Martial Myth. Although Xue Qingshang was arrogant, it was also because he had the capital to be arrogant.
Next, Tu Jin began to test his strength.
Tu Jin’s first punch, which also did not use any martial arts, struck out with the strength of a zero point eight barbarian elephant.
For the second punch, Tu Jin used an extremely explosive punch technique and punched out the strength of one point nine barbarian elephants.
In terms of strength, Tu Jin was a huge step ahead of Xue Qingshang and naturally passed the first round of the strength test.
“Next, who tests?” That one silver-robed elder asked.
Zhang Ruochen was quite humble and made a ‘please’ gesture to Luo Shuihan, saying, “Senior sister, come first!”
Luo Shuihan nodded and walked to the bottom of the stone wall.
The gazes of the crowd all converged on her.
After all, Luo Shuihan was too young, and at her age, wanting to pass the test was almost impossible.
However, Zhang Ruochen was confident in her, knowing that Luo Shuihan’s strength could not be underestimated.
Luo Shuihan’s figure was clear and beautiful, like a light and elegant orchid as she stood below the stone wall. There was no sign of her exerting much force, just an inch punch that struck out and struck the top of the stone wall.
“Boom!”
On the stone wall, a golden pattern and eight silver patterns lit up.
Seeing this scene, Tu Jin and Xue Qingshang, who had previously wanted to show their hand in front of Luo Shuihan’s face, both stared wide-eyed, revealing an unbelievable expression.
“How can …… it be so strong ……” Tu Jin’s throat, it was as if he was being strangled.
“Heavens! Just a casual punch, it punched out a little bit of the power of an eight-headed barbarian elephant.” Xue Qingshang felt like he couldn’t breathe a bit, he was too shocked!
If she were to execute a martial art, how powerful would she have to be?
Even Lei Jing, who was sitting on the side, opened his eyes and glanced towards Luo Shuihan, a murmuring voice coming out of his mouth, “Worthy of being the outstanding heir of the Saint Sect Valve Luo Clan, it’s really powerful. Her cultivation level, it seems that she hasn’t reached the Earth Extremity Realm Grand Circle yet, she has endless potential!”
Immediately after, Luo Shuihan retracted her arm and a layer of white light surfaced throughout her body.
As she punched out, in the air, the sound of great rivers and streams of water surging wildly resounded, deafening the ears and making people feel that the air was trembling.
“Luo Water Fist Technique.” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes widened as he stared intently at Luo Shuihan’s fist trajectory.
“There was a loud bang.
On the stone wall, nine golden lines and nine silver lines appeared.
Nine points of the power of the nine-headed savage elephant.
Seeing the ripples on the stone wall, Tu Jin and Xue Qingshang felt suffocated, and the way they looked at Luo Shuihan again became a little different, with a look of awe in their eyes.
This woman, was not something they could get their hands on.
Even that one silver-robed elder was startled, looking at Luo Shuihan as if she were a demon, how old was she, yet the power that erupted from her was more terrifying than many Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artists.
“Luo Shuihan, first palm, one point of eight barbarian elephants’ strength;second palm, nine points of nine barbarian elephants’ strength. Qualified, can proceed to the next round of testing.” The silver-robed elder announced.
“So she’s that heavenly daughter of the Saint Sect Valve Luo Family, Luo Shuihan, no wonder she’s so powerful.”
After Xue Qingshang learnt Luo Shuihan’s name, she suddenly came to a realisation.
“It is said that Luo Shuihan is a genius that surpasses the Four Greatest, being compared to her is not unfair at all.” Tu Jin sighed.
The silver-robed elder’s gaze, fixed on Zhang Ruochen, said, “Next.”
Right at this moment, Lei Jing exuded an unruffled aura and said in a deep voice, “The old man is going to test him personally, so all of you go out!”
“What? A high-ranking figure of the Martial City Academy Palace is going to personally test that brat, could it be that his qualifications are even higher than Luo Shuihan’s?” Tu Jin said in astonishment.
“How is that possible? Luo Shuihan was able to have such high achievements because, her own natural talent is very high, plus the vigorous cultivation of the Martial City Academic Palace and the Sage Sect. Other martial artists don’t have the same favourable conditions and resources as her.” Xue Qingshang said somewhat coldly.
Tu Jin, Xue Qingshang, Luo Shuihan, and even that one silver-robed elder exited the power testing chamber, leaving only Zhang Ruochen and Lei Jing in the entire testing chamber.
Lei Jing stared at Zhang Ruochen and asked, “That one Luo Family’s Heavenly Pride Daughter is indeed quite powerful, even when I was at her age, I was far inferior to her. Have you felt any pressure?”
In Lei Jing’s opinion, Zhang Ruochen and Luo Shuihan’s strength should be in between, perhaps Zhang Ruochen was even slightly weaker than Luo Shuihan.
After all, Luo Shuihan was the heir of a Saint Sect, and there were some resources that Zhang Ruochen simply couldn’t possibly enjoy access to.
“No.”
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen directly walked over towards the testing stone wall, mobilising his entire body’s true qi, which flowed rapidly through the thirty-six meridians.
“Boom!”
A palm struck out, erupting with a thunderous roar.
On the stone wall, four golden lines and eight silver lines appeared.
In order to test his true power, Zhang Ruochen used his full strength and didn’t hold back in the slightest.
“Four points of the power of an eight-headed Barbarian Elephant.”
Lei Jing’s eyes exploded with an unbelievable expression as he directly stood up from his seat.
One must know that this was hitting a palm without using a martial art.
Luo Shuihan only had a little bit of the power of an eight-headed barbarian elephant when he didn’t use a martial skill, not even half of Zhang Ruochen’s power.
Lei Jing once again looked at Zhang Ruochen, a chuckle escaping from his mouth, finally realising why Zhang Ruochen appeared so calm and collected from the beginning to the end.
Zhang Ruochen also nodded with satisfaction, after refining ten Bone Quenching and Tendon Refining Pills, the pure physical strength should have already reached the level of a mid Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artist.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to strike the power of four point eight savage elephants with one palm.
Lei Jing’s heart hadn’t been as excited as it was today for a long time, and he immediately urged, “Quickly strike the second palm.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes became brighter and brighter, as if two balls of fire were burning in his eye sockets, and he struck out seven palm seals in a row, which overlapped and exploded with seven times the power.
“Boom!”
Under the impact of the palm force, the testing stone wall shook slightly.
On the stone wall, three black lines, two golden lines, and two silver lines appeared.
Thirty-two points of power of a two-headed barbarian elephant.
Although it didn’t reach seven times the attack power, it was still quite close to seven times.
This time, Lei Jing was even more shocked that the power of Zhang Ruochen’s palm just now was already capable of easily killing a martial artist at the early stage of the Heavenly Extreme Realm.
Such as Tu Jin and Xue Qing Shirt’s streams could be slapped to death with just one palm.
Lei Jing’s face was filled with red light as he said, “Good brat, that palm move of yours just now, it should be a Spirit Grade Upper Grade martial art, right?”
Although Zhang Ruochen had yet to cultivate the fifth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm to its great completion, the power that erupted from it was already more powerful than some Spirit Grade Upper Grade martial arts.
In the face of Lei Jing’s question, Zhang Ruochen just smiled faintly and said, “That’s right.”
The Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm was originally a growth type martial skill, and since Lei Jing thought it was a Spirit Grade Upper Grade martial skill, Zhang Ruochen didn’t bother to explain more.
The more he explained, the more troublesome it would be.
Lei Jing laughed out loud, “No wonder you wanted to come for the test, it turns out that you already possess a strength close to the top one hundred of the Earth Ranking, I had underestimated you before!”
Zhang Ruochen said, “It’s not easy to enter the top one hundred of the Earth Ranking, we still have to test speed and actual combat to know the exact result.”
Lei Jing also nodded, understanding very well the difficulty of entering the top one hundred positions of the Earth Ranking.
At least Zhang Ruochen now had the hope of entering the top one hundred of the 《Earth Ranking》, while those other martial artists didn’t even have the hope.
“Let’s go! It’s time for the speed test!”
Lei Jing also quickly calmed down, but, in his heart, he was even more expectant.
Zhang Ruochen had really brought him quite a surprise.
Tu Jin and Xue Qingshang had already arrived at the speed test chamber long ago, they were very surprised to see Lei Jing bringing Zhang Ruochen to the speed test chamber as well, could it be that the kid passed the strength test?
How could that be possible?
Only Luo Shuihan looked calm, Zhang Ruochen passing the test was within her expectations. She even suspected that Zhang Ruochen’s results were above hers, otherwise why would Pavilion Master Lei test him alone?
While Zhang Ruochen was conducting the strength test, the three of them had already completed the speed test.
Tu Jin’s fastest burst of speed reached two hundred and five metres per second.
Xue Qingshang’s fastest burst speed reached two hundred and nineteen metres per second.
Luo Shuihan’s fastest explosive speed reached two hundred and forty-eight metres per second.
As long as one was able to reach more than two hundred metres per second, they would be considered to have passed the test.
All three of them naturally passed the speed test and could proceed to the final round of the actual combat test.
Lei Jing waved his hand and said, “You guys can go out now, the old man is going to test Zhang Ruochen alone.”
“Another separate test, who is that kid? Wait, the name Zhang Ruochen ……, why is it so familiar?”
Tu Jin frowned and pondered.
