24: The force measuring monument shattered instantly.

At this moment, a Heavenly Dragon Sect Elder responsible for recruiting new Disciples noticed this scene. He stood up from his seat, walked over slowly, and pointed his sharp gaze at Shi Bao.

"You, come over and take the test." The Elder's voice was steady and powerful.

Shi Bao was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and said somewhat blankly, "Me? It's not my turn yet!"

"Come over here now!" The Elder's tone left no room for doubt.

"Oh!" Shi Bao responded, turning to look at Jiang Ye and Shi Feng. Jiang Ye approached him and whispered a reminder, "Fatty Bao, don't reveal too much."

"Got it!" Shi Bao nodded and strode to the Strength-Testing Tablet.

The Elder pointed to the Strength-Testing Tablet and explained, "Punch it with all your strength. If the light point on it rises to the position of eight, you pass the test."

Shi Bao looked at the Strength-Testing Tablet, feeling a bit uncertain, and asked tentatively, "Can I have two chances?"

"Yes, come on!" The Elder nodded in agreement.

Shi Bao took a deep breath, thinking he'd try with thirty percent of his strength first. He clenched his fist and slammed it hard toward the Strength-Testing Tablet.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the light point on the Strength-Testing Tablet instantly jumped to the position of nine.

"Holy crap!" Shi Bao was startled and quickly turned to the Elder, asking somewhat awkwardly, "Um... Elder, if I use too much strength, will I break this stone tablet?"

A flash of surprise crossed the Elder's eyes as he asked back, "Hmm? How much of your strength did you just use?"

"Uh... I don't know, but I should be able to reach the highest point," Shi Bao said, scratching his head.

"Then try again. As long as it's not too much over the limit, the stone tablet won't break," the Elder encouraged.

"Oh!" Shi Bao nodded. This time he added a bit more power and punched the Strength-Testing Tablet again.

"Boom!" A dazzling light suddenly erupted at the top of the Strength-Testing Tablet, and the entire stone tablet vibrated slightly.

The surrounding crowd immediately burst into a commotion, everyone looking over. Someone had actually maxed out the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Strength-Testing Tablet! This was an extremely rare occurrence.

The Heavenly Dragon Sect Elder's face showed a satisfied smile, and he said loudly, "Good! You can join the Heavenly Dragon Sect and directly become an Outer Sect Disciple."

Shi Bao scratched his head and said a bit shyly, "Oh! I have two younger brothers. Can they skip the line and take the test together?"

Jiang Ye and Shi Feng glanced at each other and couldn't help but curse under their breath, "bastard! We were born a few days before him."

The Elder smiled and waved his hand, "Then you two come up quickly!"

Jiang Ye and Shi Feng stepped forward, and Shi Bao didn't forget to remind them, "Be careful, don't break it. We can't afford to pay for it."

Shi Feng walked to the Strength-Testing Tablet, casually swung his fist, and slammed it down.

"Boom!" The Strength-Testing Tablet maxed out again, with intense light radiating everywhere.

The expressions of the other Sect Elders nearby changed slightly. If all the people with outstanding talent went to the Heavenly Dragon Sect, how would they develop?

The Heavenly Dragon Sect Elder was grinning from ear to ear and announced loudly, "Directly enter as a Heavenly Dragon Sect Outer Sect Disciple! Hahaha!"

It was Jiang Ye's turn to step forward. He stood before the Strength-Testing Tablet, took a deep breath, and threw a casual punch.

"Bang!" With a loud explosion, the Strength-Testing Tablet actually shattered directly, fragments flying everywhere.

"Holy crap!" Jiang Ye was startled and quickly took a few steps back.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Shi Bao quickly ran to the Heavenly Dragon Sect Elder and explained, "Elder, he didn't mean it, it was an accident! Maybe the stone tablet was hit too many times and couldn't hold out and exploded. We don't have that much money to pay you back."

The Heavenly Dragon Sect Elder stared intently at Jiang Ye, his eyes filled with shock!

!! Jiang Ye hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Um... it... it's not my fault. This stone tablet must have been broken already, otherwise it wouldn't have been so bright before."

Just then, with several whoosh sounds, Elders from other Sects gathered around.

The Limitless Gate Elder spoke first, his tone carrying a hint of urgency, "Elder Luo, we won't say anything about the previous two, but we will definitely not back down on this one."

Elder Luo frowned and said in a deep voice, "They chose to come here for testing of their own free will. We shouldn't forcibly interfere with their choice."

Elder Liu of the Limitless Gate turned to Jiang Ye and said sincerely, "Young brother, I am Elder Liu of the Limitless Gate. We hope you will join the Limitless Gate and let you directly become an Inner Sect Disciple."

"Elder Liu! You're going too far!" Elder Luo said dissatisfiedly.

"I only want him. Isn't it enough to let you have the other two for your Heavenly Dragon Sect?" Elder Liu didn't back down.

Elder Chen of the Tianyang Gate was not to be outdone either. He stepped forward and said to Jiang Ye, "Young brother, I saw your punch just now. Although it was just a casual strike, it was powerful and full of Yang Qi, making it very suitable for cultivating my Tianyang Sect's Heavenly Sun Art. We don't want to miss out on you. Although the Heavenly Dragon Sect's overall strength is a bit stronger than ours, it's definitely not your best choice."

Jiang Ye stood there, watching the Elders argue until they were red in the face, feeling a bit helpless. He turned to look at Shi Bao and Shi Feng, who were also looking blank.

"Things are getting lively now," Shi Bao whispered.

Shi Feng shrugged and smiled, "It looks like we'll have to choose carefully."
