"Dan Clan, Dan Xuan."
"Bai Clan, Bai Ying."
"Qiu Clan, Qiu Ji."
After Cao Ying finished, Dan Xuan and the others also cupped their fists in greeting. After all, Elder Sheng was one of the eight great Elders of the Pill Tower, his status far above that of ordinary Elders. Even the Five Great Clans had to show him respect.
"Ye Clan representative, Lin Feng, pays respect to Elder Sheng."
This old man had not offended him since appearing. Therefore, Lin Feng also gave him proper face.
"Hehe, you're the young genius who, with only a Dou Zong cultivation, managed to cross ranks and defeat Burning Flame Valley's Two-Star Dou Zun Grand Elder. Recently, your reputation in the Pill Region has been rather loud."
Elder Sheng stroked his beard and said with a faint smile.
"Just small matters, how could it enter Elder Sheng's discerning eyes."
Lin Feng replied calmly.
"How could it be called small matters? You even dared to strike my Bai Clan members at will, clearly not putting my Bai Clan in your eyes!"
As soon as Lin Feng's words fell, Bai Ying from the Bai Clan sneered coldly, speaking with a sinister tone.
"You really think just because you have two Dou Zun with you, I can't do anything to you?"
As he spoke, a faint but terrifying aura spread out from Lin Feng's body.
That Bai Ying, who was merely at the early stage of Dou Zong, instantly felt a chill run down his body, retreating several steps, staring at Lin Feng in disbelief.
He had thought that since he brought a Six-Star Dou Zun and a Four-Star Dou Zun powerhouse this time, the other party would certainly not dare to show him disrespect. But unexpectedly, Lin Feng wasn't afraid at all.
"You just wait for me!"
Bai Ying gritted his teeth, his chest almost bursting with rage.
But considering his own strength and the circumstances of this place, he didn't continue speaking. As for Cao Ying, Dan Xuan, and the others to the side, their eyes all flashed with a hint of surprise.
They had only heard that this Lin Feng was very strong, but from the aura just now. If they really fought him, even if they all attacked together, they probably wouldn't be able to win.
"Since there are no other problems, then let us begin today's assessment."
Elder Sheng directly ignored the conflict between Lin Feng and Bai Ying, slowly stepping back.
Behind him was an object covered by a black cloth. He stretched out his hand and pulled the black cloth away, revealing a transparent stone tablet about a zhang tall, looking like crystal.
"Our assessment will be divided into three parts, and the first part is soul testing."
"As everyone knows, the soul is the most important foundation of an alchemist. Only with a strong enough soul can one have sufficient soul perception and control."
Speaking to this point, Elder Sheng pointed at the center of the stone tablet, where there was a round smooth mirror-like disk.
"Each of you will inject your soul power into it, and the mirror disk will measure your soul's value. This value, we call it Soul Value."
"As long as the Soul Value reaches four hundred, it is considered passing. And in past assessments of the Five Great Clans, the highest Soul Value record was set by Cao Ying. Back then, her Soul Value reached 976, a record unbroken until today."
At this, Elder Sheng's gaze turned to the side, looking at Cao Ying. But at this moment, she still carried her calm expression, completely unaffected by the surrounding stares.
"Hehe, since you all understand the rules, then let us begin. Who will go first?"
Elder Sheng withdrew his gaze and smiled at Lin Feng and the other four.
As soon as his words landed, the man named Qiu Ji from the Qiu Clan immediately stepped forward. He placed his palm gently against the stone tablet, closed his eyes, and his soul power surged out along his arm.
"Didi didi!"
As soul power poured into the stone tablet, the smooth disk at its center suddenly emitted a beeping sound. Then blood-red numbers shot up rapidly on the disk.
After lasting for over ten seconds, it finally froze under countless gazes at the number 630. After the number solidified, Qiu Ji withdrew his palm. He glanced at the numbers on the disk, then let out a relieved breath.
This number was already in line with the Pill Tower's requirements. Just as he finished his test, Bai Ying quickly stepped up next, pressing his palm onto the stone tablet, and soul power gushed out.
"Didi didi!"
As Bai Ying continuously output his soul power, the blood-red numbers on the mirror disk also soared rapidly. Finally, it slowly stopped at six hundred eighty.
"Just a humble showing."
After finishing his test, Dan Xuan clasped his hands slightly toward Lin Feng and Cao Ying, then strode forward.
"Di di di!"
As Dan Xuan's soul power surged violently, the blood-red numbers on the mirror disk shot up in the blink of an eye, instantly breaking past eight hundred. Not long after, it finally slowed and came to a stop at eight hundred fifteen.
Seeing the number on the mirror disk, the people present were all a little surprised. Countless admiring gazes immediately fell upon Dan Xuan.
"As expected of the next leader of the Dan Clan, truly extraordinary. This level of soul power, even among mid-grade seventh-tier alchemists, can already be considered top class."
Elder Sheng thought to himself as he looked at the glowing number.
When Dan Xuan finished, Lin Feng was about to step forward for his turn. But at that moment, a faint fragrance suddenly swept past his side.
In the next instant, a red-dressed figure appeared in front of the stone tablet. Cao Ying's beautiful eyes glanced at Lin Feng, her smile enchanting as she said, "I'll show a little first."
Lin Feng only shrugged. For him, the order of the test didn't matter. So he didn't bother objecting.
After speaking, Cao Ying extended her fair jade-like palm and pressed it against the stone tablet. In that moment, a vast and overwhelming soul pressure suddenly surged out from her delicate body.
"Boom!"
A deep rumble echoed through the space around her.
An invisible soul storm instantly formed around her body. As the storm raged, the surrounding space itself became violently distorted. The blood-red numbers on the mirror disk shot upward at a dizzying speed, rising like a rocket!
The appearance of that invisible soul storm instantly sent the entire hall into an uproar. Only after a long while did the storm gradually weaken, finally dispersing completely. When it vanished, Cao Ying slowly withdrew her slender snow-white hand from the stone tablet.
At the same time, every pair of eyes in the hall turned toward the mirror disk at the center of the stone.
"One thousand five hundred!"
"Hiss!"
For a moment the great hall fell silent, before being broken by countless sharp intakes of breath. Everyone's gazes, carrying undisguised shock, all landed on that tall, slender figure standing before the stone.
"As expected of the most outstanding genius the Cao Clan has ever produced. To achieve such a result at this age… truly terrifying."
Elder Sheng stared at the blood-red number, silently marveling.
"Mr. Lin Feng, it's your turn now."
At this moment, Cao Ying turned her lovely face toward him, smiling sweetly.
"Hehe, then I won't waste time."
Lin Feng chuckled lightly and stepped forward.
Cao Ying gracefully moved aside, leaving the stone tablet clear for him.
As Lin Feng walked up, the crowd in the great hall craned their necks once more, every gaze locked tightly on him. They were all extremely curious about just what level Lin Feng's strength had reached.
Over at the Ye Clan's seats, both Ye Xin Lan and Ye Zhong couldn't help clenching their fists tightly as they watched Lin Feng step forward.
"Boom!"
In that instant, a vast tide of soul power erupted from Lin Feng's body, like a giant dragon awakening from slumber.
It swept out slowly, shaking the air.
Another invisible soul storm formed once more in front of the stone tablet. The numbers on the mirror disk surged upward wildly!
After a short while, the numbers finally slowed, then came to a stop. Everyone in the hall immediately turned their eyes to it.
"One thousand five hundred!"
That same shocking number once again appeared in their eyes, leaving the entire crowd stunned into silence.
"Hu~"
Seeing that number, Ye Xin Lan and Ye Zhong both let out a heavy sigh of relief.
