Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting
chapter-63

The teachers left the students who were participating in the assessment for the elite junior class.

Lan Xuanyu was a second-grader but he was the tallest among these ten students.

The middle-aged man looked at these ten students in front of him and smiled. “All of you will be going through a series of tests later. This includes a basic physical test as well as a comprehensive test of your inner quality. There is something I need to tell all of you; you guys are the crème de la crème of your age group, but it doesn’t mean that you can all be accepted into the elite junior class. There is only one criterion to join the elite junior class and that is your capability. If all ten of you are unable to meet a certain standard, then none of you will be enrolled. We would rather accept nobody in the class than have substandard students; we will only take in the best of the best.”

With that said, his gaze swept across the ten students before him and an invisible pressure was emitted from his body.

Being able to be selected from the class, they were naturally the best among their peers and when those ten students felt the pressure, their brows knitted as they resisted it in silence. Some of them looked surprised while the others were nervous. There was even one student who released his spirit with a look of vigilance.

Ye Lingtong was one of those who resisted in silence. Her body tensed up slightly and she accumulated her strength all over her body. But what caught the middle-aged man’s attention was the boy next to her, Lan Xuanyu who wasn’t doing anything.

Yes, he wasn’t doing anything. He appeared like nothing was happening like he didn’t feel this pressure at all.

“My name is Mu Zhongtian and I am a teacher from the Heaven Luo Institute. All of you line up and follow me. There will be a corresponding score for each assessment and the total score at the end will be your final score. What all of you have to do is to perform your best. We will start with the Spirit Power test, then the Spiritual Power test, and finally, the overall inner quality assessment.”

For these students who were only seven to eight years old, they naturally didn’t have too many tests. They only had the basic ones and these basic assessments were often enough to reflect their conditions.

There was nothing much to say about the Spirit Power test; all ten students knew how strong they were and since they were selected, they were obviously over rank 10 at least.

Lan Xuanyu’s Spirit Power was rank 14 and was the last among these children. There were five students who were ranked 15 and there were four students who were ranked 16; Ye Lingtong was one of them. She had also caught the attention of the teachers immediately and this was very apparent. She was the youngest among all the students taking the assessment and reaching rank 16 at seven years old was pretty much a good result. At this rate, she would be rank 20 before she’s ten years old.

Lan Xuanyu had the lousiest score so the amount of attention he got decreased immediately.

“Spiritual Power test. Ye Lingtong, you’re first.” The teacher called her name and she stepped forward to put on the Spiritual Power test apparatus.

The Spiritual Power apparatus used in the institute was obviously much more sophisticated and accurate than the one Lan Xuanyu had at home. It was then activated and Ye Lingtong felt a warmth, an unspeakable kind of comfort wrapping around her head.

“Spiritual Power, 37.”

Only the numerical value was announced and there was no corresponding score so Ye Lingtong didn’t know whether her Spiritual Power was considered high or low.

The sequence of the Spiritual Power test was arranged from highest to lowest according to the results of their Spirit Power. So Lan Xuanyu, who had the lowest Spirit Power, was naturally at the last.

“Spiritual Power, 48 points. Not bad.” When a student was tested to have 48 points, Mu Zhongtian finally smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

An eight-year-old with 48 points — he would break through the Spirit Connection realm in the near future. The one who could break through the Spirit Connection Realm before the age of 10 would be considered as a prodigy.

However, a Spiritual Power of 48 points was also the highest among the 9 students in front.

“Lan Xuanyu.”

Lan Xuanyu stepped forward, he was quite confident for the Spiritual Power test because Teacher Nana once said that his Spiritual Power would far exceed the other ordinary people when it develops innately. He didn’t need special cultivation techniques, he only had to practice his control of the elements and it would naturally be mobilized. However, it has been some time since he did the Spiritual Power test so he didn’t know which level his Spiritual Power was.

Lan Xuanyu felt a warm sensation as well, but what was different was that he felt something else other than warmth. It was as if there were countless strands of energy gently stimulating his head which enlivened his sea of consciousness.

Yes, he could feel the changes in his own sea of consciousness. The reason was that when he was training with Nana, she would always bring him into it.

“Spiritual Power…” The teacher announcing the numbers paused all of a sudden.

“What’s wrong?” Mu Zhongtian asked.

The tone of that teacher changed and was filled with shock. “Teacher Mu, take a look at this.”

Mu Zhongtian walked over to the screen and when he saw the numbers, he was taken aback as well. There was nothing wrong with double digits but it was of the highest!

99!

“Should we test it again?” The teacher in charge of the apparatus asked.

Mu Zhongtian shook his head, “No need, the apparatus will not be wrong. Lan Xuanyu, Spiritual Power, 99, Spirit Connection realm.”

A Spiritual Power from 0 to 50 was the Spirit Origin realm while 50 to 200 was the Spirit Connection realm.

Spirit Connection realm — one is sensitive to the mind, and his or her desires and his/her thoughts were aligned. It is the start of one’s control over his/her spiritual power for their own use. They would be able to also bear two yellow Spirit Souls or one purple Spirit Soul.

‘8 years old, Spirit Connection realm with a Spiritual Power of close to 100 – what does this mean?’

This child may be a little weak in his Spirit Power but this Spiritual Power could be said to be astonishing! But nevertheless, Mu Zhongtian did not praise him because the first two tests were merely the most basic data that they could have.

“Get ready to enter the simulation module and begin the comprehensive test. Your spirit, combat abilities and various aspects of your inner quality will be tested in the final assessment. Try your best to showcase yourself; your every action will be counted towards your final score.”
