256: Silence from the College's Top Management

Everyone present was drawn to Lin Qingyan at this moment; few noticed the sudden appearance of four academy prodigies.

"Oh? Is that Junior Sister Lin?" The handsome Jiang Yan's eyes flickered with surprise.

Tyrant Body Stone Crusher wrapped his muscular arms around himself, looking astonished, and grinned, "So that's it. This extreme cold ice power, no wonder she can be called the Ice Queen..."

Gao Tian, the top auxiliary type, stroked his chin and muttered, "Her attack, the power value is at least over 300... right?"

Bug Ghost Xiao Zhiyu wore a luxurious silver robe and an exquisite monocle. With his brown curly hair, he possessed the demeanor of a noble Young Master, completely different from the title 'Bug Ghost'.

His gaze swept around, and his eyes flashed when he saw Jiang Yuan.

Found him...

But when he saw Luo Xi beside Jiang Yuan, his expression froze, and his eyes instantly turned cold.

Junior Sister Luo really is...

"Hiss hiss."

A dark, jealous, and intensely possessive glint flashed in his eyes. Eerie, icy silver spiritual power silently spread from Xiao Zhiyu like venomous snakes.

The Xiao family was a famous wealthy family of spiritual power Martial Artists in the Imperial Capital, and Xiao Zhiyu was the undisputed candidate for the next family head.

Luo Xi, with her innate charming physique, extreme beauty, and considerable spiritual talent, who was also a virgin, had long been regarded by him as the best marriage partner. After marriage, they might even give birth to offspring with SSS-rank spiritual talent, and the ancestral divine insect he cultivated with his spiritual power might also advance further, helping him reach the King Realm.

It could be said that Luo Xi was the woman he was determined to have!

He would absolutely not allow anyone to interfere!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a powerful wave of air mixed with icy cold wind spread out, and the stone tablet rippled with a faint glow.

"Hoo..."

Lin Qingyan slowly exhaled a breath of cold air, retracted her hand, turned her head, glanced at Jiang Yuan in the distance, and raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Yuan smiled.

Was this a challenge?

To be able to unleash nearly eight million damage with one blow at the fifth-tier Realm was indeed enough to be proud of.

Gao Tian snapped back to attention and exclaimed, "This is already close to the strike of a seventh-tier Prefecture Lord, isn't it? Perfectly combining her talent and Martial Skill, beautiful."

Battle Intent flickered in Stone Crusher's eyes, "This year's top newcomer indeed lives up to the hype. Stronger than I imagined."

After Lin Qingyan walked away from the stone tablet, leaving an ice lotus with every step.

Only then did everyone react, fixing their gaze on the stone tablet, seeing the value displayed on it.

Many students, including Jin Quanmin, widened their eyes in shock, their mouths slowly opening.

Jiang Yan and the other four also looked astonished.

A young warrior carrying a greatsword rubbed his eyes, unable to believe it.

A cute girl with a beautiful face and a staff covered her mouth with her hand, her face blank.

"7, 784—?!"

Someone exclaimed, their voice breaking the silence.

The whole place erupted in an uproar.

"You're lying!!"

"How can it be so high?!"

"Unbelievable!!"

...

Jin Quanmin was even more incredulous, roaring at Lin Qingyan, "You cheated!"

"How can a fifth-tier Martial Artist have such high damage?!"

A power value close to eight hundred.

The power of a single strike was enough to kill a sixth-tier Lord-level fierce beast or freeze a hundred-meter-wide river.

It was simply not the kind of damage a fifth-tier Martial Artist should have!

"I know, you must have used some relic or equipped Epic-grade equipment!"

He was enraged and humiliated, completely lacking the demeanor of a senior.

Lin Qingyan didn't stop, but as she passed by him, her lips moved slightly, leaving two words.

"Trash."

Complete contempt.

Jin Quanmin's pupils instantly contracted, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

He, who prided himself on being a Prodigy and was arrogant by nature, had never been looked down upon and scorned like this before.

He suddenly turned his head.

Jin Quanmin's face was contorted, his eyes venomous as he said, "Just a mere newcomer... what are you being arrogant about?!"

"Die for me!"

Purple-black spiritual power erupted from him, transforming into a spectral giant that drew a bow and nocked an arrow, shooting it straight at Lin Qingyan's back!

Spiritual Death Arrow!

Everyone present gasped, not expecting Jin Quanmin to launch a cowardly sneak attack.

But Lin Qingyan didn't even turn her head.

"Bang!!"

The purple-black arrow was blocked by a crescent mirror formed by a spiritual defense artifact and bounced off.

Lin Qingyan glanced sideways at Jin Quanmin, her cherry lips slightly parted, her voice cold as she said, "Scram!"

As if following her command, a powerful repulsive force instantly surged out, blasting Jin Quanmin from his spot, sending him crashing into the wall with a yell.

"It's Lin, School Beauty's Divine Speaker skill!"

"A legendary profession."

"This is my first time seeing it with my own eyes, it's indeed powerful!"

The onlookers were extremely excited.

They hadn't expected the sixth-tier Jin Quanmin to be so vulnerable before the fifth-tier Lin Qingyan.

Especially the armored person who had been bullied by Jin Quanmin, their face was full of admiration, as if seeing a goddess.

Seeing this scene, Luo Xi looked at the approaching Lin Qingyan, her purple eyes full of wariness and hostility, as if looking at a vixen.

Indeed, she was her biggest rival!

"Student Lin, long time no see."

Pei Congyun said.

Lin Qingyan glanced at Luo Xi, nodded at Pei Congyun, then looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "It's your turn."

Jiang Yuan hummed and walked towards the stone tablet.

This scene also attracted the attention of Jiang Yan, Xiao Zhiyu, and everyone else.

"He came with Lin, School Beauty, is he also going to take the power value test?"

"Wait, is he that Jiang Yuan?!"

"The legendary one?!"

"The forums say he returned from the Abyss and even defeated Senior Chi Guang, so it was true!"

"No way! It's really him!"

"If it's him, could he be even stronger than Lin, School Beauty?!"

"Should... should be impossible, right?!"

"I heard from a friend in South River City that the Shirakawa Gen wanted by the Japan seems to be him."

"Eh? No way?"

"But it seems... he really does look a bit like him, could he already be in the seventh-tier?!"

The crowd discussed animatedly, their eyes filled with curiosity and awe.

Professor Song Yun's eyes subtly shifted.

Many people didn't notice.

In the Martial Arts Building hall, quite a few experts with unfathomable auras had actually arrived; they were all senior mentors and veteran Professors from various departments.

At this moment, these hidden Prefecture Lords and Quasi-Kings all had their eyes focused on the tall figure walking towards the stone tablet.

"Even the Principal and those three are here."

Professor Song Yun remained outwardly calm, but her heart was incredibly shaken.

Under everyone's gaze.

Jiang Yuan extended his right hand and gently placed it on the stone tablet.

"Boom!"

The massive stone tablet, which seemed to have stood for eternity, trembled for the first time. The faint light was dazzling, and lines of light converged, spreading upwards from below, as if a slumbering giant beast had been awakened from its sleep.

Under the shocked and astonished gaze of the crowd.

The power value on the stone tablet began to leap rapidly, the value soaring.

150.

200.

300.

500.

1000.

...

"Huh? Is there a mistake? How did it turn into a four-digit number?"

A student with a buzz cut rubbed his eyes, wanting to see more clearly.

When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly found himself outside the Martial Arts Building.

Around him were also students who were just as confused as he was.

Jiang Yan frowned, "This is...?"

Xiao Zhiyu, Stone Crusher, and Gao Tian also looked bewildered.

Long Ci guessed a certain possibility.

They were all forcibly teleported out.

And those who could do such a thing were undoubtedly the academy higher-ups.

But... why?

But soon, an old yet resonant voice came from within the Martial Arts Building.

【The Martial Tablet has malfunctioned. Today's test ends here】

Immediately, there were sighs and boos.

Lin Qingyan's eyes flickered.

How could the Martial Tablet malfunction?

What exactly happened?

...At this moment, in the empty Martial Arts Building hall.

It was deathly silent.

Only the Martial Tablet shone with dazzling light, illuminating the tall figure standing beneath it like a deity.

Nan Yue looked at the value on the stone tablet, took a deep breath, scanned the surroundings, and said to the more than ten senior mentors and veteran Professors, including Professor Song Yun, "I hope everyone can keep today's matter a secret."

The three elders of Shenwu Academy, whose strength was second only to Demigod Feng Xuan, stroked their beards and nodded.

The rest of the mentors and Professors were all silent.

Professor Song Yun, looking up, was stunned and shocked, doubting her life, unable to recover for a long time.

"Is this still human?"

A line of golden text on the stone tablet, like a scorching sun in the sky.

【Power Value: 6973】
