61: Chapter 61 Spiritual Power Detection

Before long, Chi Anlin arrived at the testing center.

Under the scorching sun, there was a sea of people; it seemed like everyone else was accompanied by their parents except for him.

Zhao County had suffered heavy losses this time, with many students dying in the Otherworld. This caused the parents to be terrified that something might happen to their own children, so they accompanied them everywhere.

The testing center was originally a gymnasium in Zhao County, and at this moment, many cultivators wearing special operations uniforms were maintaining order in the surroundings.

“Chi Anlin... This guy actually didn't die in the Small Insect World?” Not far away, Tang Hao frowned as he looked over.

As the class monitor, he extremely disliked people like Chi Anlin who dragged down the class average. However, due to Chi Anlin's extraordinary family background, he had never said anything.

This time, five people in the class had died. He had originally thought that with Chi Anlin's strength, he should have died in this battle. He hadn't expected that, looking at him now, he didn't even seem to have suffered any injuries.

He had also heard that because Chi Anlin went missing, Chi Xueyue had directly slaughtered the Ruler of the Small Insect World...

Whatever, if he's alive, he's alive. Consider him lucky.

Tang Hao shifted his gaze. He wasn't a fool; he knew Chi Anlin had a deep background and wouldn't go out of his way to provoke him.

At the main gate, Ji Jiji had already met up with the team, and Chi Anlin could see his obnoxious behavior from afar.

“Little A, after my hand is better, can I play the guitar?” Ji Jiji said with a face full of sorrow. His arm was wrapped in bandages; he had injured the bone in the Otherworld and needed rest.

Although physicians could heal others, it depended on their own level. There wasn't a single physician in Zhao County who could instantly restore a bone.

Chu Xinying couldn't bear to see Ji Jiji looking so sad and whispered, “You... you can.”

“I'm too awesome! I'll be able to learn the guitar once my hand is better!”

Ji Jiji cheered. Xia Yan and the others around him looked at him speechlessly; this guy would die if he didn't act obnoxious for even a single day.

When the Small Insect World fused, they had fallen into the same place as Ji Jiji and were nearly annoyed to death by him.

“Stop messing around, Chi Anlin is coming, we should head in too.” Xia Yan let out a sigh and pulled Ji Jiji over. Although this guy was a bit annoying, Chu Xinying's emotions had been a bit abnormal lately, so it might be good for her to interact with him more.

After all, he was an optimist—carefree and heartless.

Chi Anlin walked over leisurely. He took a glance and noticed that everyone's strength had improved.

After all, they hadn't been in contact with the Otherworld before. After experiencing a life-and-death situation, everyone's strength would naturally improve to a certain extent.

Xia Yan's cultivation had reached the peak of Mortal Rank Seventh Stage, while Li Wen and Li Yue had also reached the peak of Mortal Rank Five. As for Chu Xinying, perhaps due to the impact of Wang Qiang's death, she was still at Mortal Rank Five.

This was a hurdle in Chu Xinying's heart. If she could overcome it, her realm would see a significant increase in a short period.

What surprised Chi Anlin slightly was that Ji Jiji had actually reached Mortal Rank Six.

Although everyone's progress was quite large, as an existence who was essentially using cheats, Chi Anlin had leaped directly from mortal rank first stage to Mortal Rank Ninth Stage. Therefore, he wasn't particularly shocked by their improvements, though he did feel a slight sense of anticipation.

After exchanging some pleasantries with the group, they all walked into the gymnasium together.

Parents were not allowed inside the gymnasium. After Chi Anlin and the others verified their examinee information, they began to line up.

——————

This test was quite comprehensive, as it wasn't just to check their realm, but also their cultivation talent.

In reality, Beast Tamers and Spirit Refiners were considered two different branches, as both relied on spiritual power.

Others, such as Array Masters, Talisman Masters, and Physicians, were all considered branches of Qi Cultivators.

Therefore, the testing first measured spiritual energy, followed by spiritual power, and finally physical constitution.

Not only that, there was also a test for martial technique cultivation talent this time.

Many unfamiliar faces appeared around them. Chi Anlin raised an eyebrow; Zhao County itself didn't have that many examinees. A large portion of these people had rushed over from other counties and cities.

Of course, most of these students who came were geniuses who wanted to use the talent test as a way to gain extra points for themselves.

While waiting in line, a white-bearded old man was conducting spiritual energy testing not far away. Behind him was a three-meter-tall machine that was currently running.

A fair-skinned youth walked up and channeled his spiritual energy into a crystal ball. The crystal ball slowly turned earthy yellow, and a numerical value began to display on the tall machine.

【287】

“Number 65, Feng Pan, mortal rank third stage, Earth attribute, low spiritual energy quality.” An old and dignified voice rang out. Feng Pan's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted, “Impossible! I want a retest!”

In the next second, several people in special operations uniforms stepped forward, hoisted him up, and took him to the next testing point.

The people around whispered, and everyone became very nervous.

Originally, upon entering the world of cultivation, as youths, they were all high-spirited, believing they could be the ones to suppress all rivals and eventually reach the supreme peak.

After all, as individuals, everyone thinks of themselves as the protagonist of this world.

However, far from being the protagonist, in many people's lives, perhaps we have only ever been those inconspicuous supporting characters.

Chi Anlin shook his head. If it weren't for the system, perhaps he would just be another Zhang San or Li Si, just a part of the common masses.

If one doesn't have something special, is it really possible to reach a high-level stage relying solely on hard work?

Chi Anlin looked around. No matter which world it was, background was an extremely important factor.

Those with a background could obtain more resources for cultivation, while those without resources... could only rely on themselves.

In this world, how many resources could an ordinary person without strength obtain by relying solely on themselves?

One must know that among the wealthy people in this world, there were basically no ordinary people.

Ordinary people also had no way to protect their wealth.

Shaking his head, Chi Anlin stopped thinking about these things and began to wait slowly for the test.

The people around gradually thinned out, and many scenes of students crying and making a scene appeared. However, the staff would not comfort them, instead taking them directly to the next testing area.

At this time, a richly dressed playboy walked up, and the aura he revealed startled the people around him.

“mortal rank eighth stage! When did Zhao County produce such a genius?”

“I heard he came from Lin City. He seems to be from the Hu Family, one of the five major families!”

On the testing platform, Hu Tian looked down at the surrounding students with disdain.

“What a poor and pathetic little place, raising a bunch of trash.” Hu Tian's eyes were full of contempt. In his view, these guys who would be cannon fodder in the future were simply not qualified to have their talent tested.

It was because of these guys that he had to wait for so long.

He reached his hand toward the crystal ball, and soon, a value appeared on the machine.

【720】

“Number 250, Hu Tian, mortal rank eighth stage, Fire attribute, low spiritual energy quality.”
