Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

BOOM!

As the massive sound echoed, Ling Fei's fist landed squarely on the Testing Stele.

Then, a Light Pattern flashed, and the inscribed runes seemed to squirm as if absorbing and testing the power of that last strike.

'I wonder what the result will be?' Ling Fei pulled his fist back, his face full of anticipation as he stared ahead.

BZZT!

A Light Pattern flashed on the Testing Stele.

Then, a line of data appeared.

Attack Power: 10,800 jin!

"10,800 jin?" Seeing this, Ling Fei nodded slightly. "Not bad." He was still quite satisfied with this result.

"Not bad?" Hearing this, the people behind him couldn't help but roll their eyes.

One had to understand that, generally speaking, only Innate Realm Cultivators could reach a power of ten thousand jin.

This Ling Fei was only at the Nine Layers of Body Tempering, yet he had already surpassed ten thousand jin. How heaven-defying was that?

And with such strength, he actually just said it was "not bad"?

'Why do I have the sudden urge to beat this Ling Fei up?' one of the geniuses thought, gritting his teeth in frustration.

They had all been desperately hoping to reach ten thousand jin themselves!

'Eighteen hundred jin stronger than me. No wonder he could defeat me so easily,' Tie Jun thought, his eyes flashing.

Only now did he truly understand the gap between them.

As for Liu Ming and the others, they remained rather calm.

This was just Basic Power; it wasn't enough to determine a person's true strength.

Burst power was what truly mattered.

"Not bad. To reach ten thousand jin at only the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering, you can be called a genius." Instructor Ruo Huan nodded in satisfaction, then said, "Next up is the burst power test. You can fuse your Blood Qi Power and True Qi with your Martial Arts to unleash your strongest attack for this test."

That would represent a person's true combat prowess.

'The True Dragon Body Refining Technique really is powerful. If I reach the Innate Realm, I'll definitely be even stronger,' Ling Fei thought, filled with anticipation.

This was all because he cultivated the True Dragon Body Refining Technique.

Because of it, his body was strong, his Blood Qi was incredibly vigorous, and his True Qi was like a dragon or a tiger. His Power was naturally incomparable to that of an ordinary person.

And this was with Ling Fei only at the Mid Stage Body Tempering Ninth Layer.

If he advanced another step, his Power would become even greater.

Immediately, Ling Fei gazed at the Testing Stele before him once more.

This time, he would test his combat prowess.

He would unleash the Power within his body in coordination with his Martial Arts.

'I wonder what level my combat prowess can reach now?' Ling Fei's gaze sharpened, and his Heart Spirit sank into the True Dragon Visualization Image in his mind.

Within it, a True Dragon roared, its aura monstrous, and a wave of Dragon's Might surged forth.

Ling Fei's Heart Spirit immersed itself, as if wanting to merge with it, to transform into a dragon and soar through the nine heavens.

A surge of True Dragon Momentum began to coalesce within Ling Fei's body.

"He's condensing 'Momentum'!" Instructor Ruo Huan's eyes instantly lit up.

'I wonder how strong his combat prowess is?' At his side, Shangguan Yurou stared intently at Ling Fei.

Besides her, Liu Ming, Zhou Feng, and Pang Fei were all locked onto the scene before them.

They also knew that this next strike would be what represented Ling Fei's true combat prowess.

ROAR!

At that very moment, a low roar escaped Ling Fei's lips.

He immediately took a large stride forward and threw a punch toward the Testing Stele.

As this punch flew, his aura surged. Accompanied by the True Qi Power in his body, the wind from his fist howled, and shockwaves rolled out.

The people nearby all felt a powerful aura.

Some even retreated several steps, feeling an inexplicable sense of dread in their hearts.

'This aura... it's already infinitely close to the Innate Realm,' Instructor Ruo Huan's gaze sharpened.

BOOM!

Then, Ling Fei's fist struck the Testing Stele.

When the punch landed, a fierce wind swept out, but the Testing Stele merely rippled.

This was an Ancient Stele left behind by a powerful expert, carved with Inscriptions that could withstand all kinds of attacks.

As his fist landed, Ling Fei felt an incredible sense of satisfaction.

'Condensing the True Dragon Momentum is the first form of the True Dragon Visualization Image. I wonder how much power it can unleash?' Ling Fei thought to himself.

This was the introductory method.

Only by comprehending the True Dragon Momentum could one take the next step toward understanding and mastering the True Dragon Mystical Technique.

Then, Ling Fei looked up at the Testing Stele before him.

BZZT!

This time, the Light Patterns on the Testing Stele flickered, and a line of data appeared.

Attack Power: 18,000 jin!

"18,000 jin!" When this number was displayed, gasps of astonishment immediately erupted from behind Ling Fei.

"This... Ling Fei's Attack Power actually reached 18,000 jin?"

"What incredible Power!"

"This... If he hit me with that punch, wouldn't my bones have shattered?"

Beyond their surprise, everyone felt a tremor in their hearts. When they looked at Ling Fei, their eyes were filled with fear.

It was common knowledge that ordinary Cultivators at the Nine Layers of Body Tempering had a Basic Power of only one thousand to nine thousand jin.

Even for geniuses like them, Basic Power was typically between seven thousand and nine thousand jin.

Even with burst power, they could at most add another two thousand jin of Power to that base.

But this Ling Fei, with a base Power of 10,800 jin, had directly burst to 18,000!

Such a massive increase was simply too shocking.

"18,000 jin... Thank goodness. Thank goodness he held back before." Seeing this, Tie Jun took a deep breath.

Thinking back on it now, he still felt a chill run down his spine.

If Ling Fei hadn't held back, under such immense Power, he might have actually been knocked unconscious.

Thus, when he looked at Ling Fei now, a hint of gratitude began to appear in his eyes.

'I really misjudged him earlier!' Tie Jun thought to himself, feeling a deep sense of regret.

"I have no complaints about losing to him!" Pang Cheng's eyes flashed. "My brother, Pang Fei, only has 19,000 jin of great strength!"

In the face of this fact, he had no choice but to be thoroughly convinced.

Keep in mind, Pang Fei had already reached the Ninth Layer Body Tempering Perfection Realm and was on the verge of stepping into the Innate Realm.

As someone with an Earth Spirit Body, Pang Fei had comprehended the Mystical of Earth's Thickness, and his Power was already far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Yet Ling Fei was already approaching his level. How could one not be astonished and filled with admiration?

"He actually has 18,000 jin!" Seeing this, Liu Ming's expression turned grave.

"Before, when Young Master Liu Ming tested, I think he only got 17,000 jin!" Huang Wei muttered under his breath.

"To think a small town could produce such a talent," Zhou Feng said, his face grave.

Now, they all looked at Ling Fei in a new light.

'18,000 jin of great strength, only a 1,000-jin difference from Pang Fei... But this is just a test of burst power. It doesn't even factor in the special effects of Ling Fei's Cold Dao Essence Qi.' Instructor Ruo Huan's eyes flashed as her mind raced, already analyzing the gap between these geniuses.

Every type of True Qi has its own unique characteristics.

Earth True Qi is as thick and heavy as a mountain, so its Power is immense.

Golden True Qi is incomparably sharp, with high Attack Power.

Fire True Qi is incomparably tyrannical and can incinerate all things!

...

Cold Dao True Qi can freeze external objects with an Ice Seal and should not be underestimated.

Perhaps the power it unleashes is only ten thousand jin, but its Ice Seal Power is immeasurable.

These are the keys to defeating one's enemies.

For this reason, all Spirit Bodies are considered terrifying physiques with limitless potential.

'According to the information I've received, Ling Fei only stepped into the Nine Layers of Body Tempering three months ago. His strength should now be at the Mid Stage of Body Tempering Ninth Layer.' Instructor Ruo Huan calculated in her mind. 'If he can already match Pang Fei and the others at the Mid Stage of Body Tempering Ninth Layer, what will happen when he reaches the Late Stage of Body Tempering, or even the Body Tempering Perfection Realm?'

At this thought, Instructor Ruo Huan's eyes became incredibly bright.

Within them, the light of anticipation burned with immense fervor.

'Ling Fei earning first place on the People Ranking was truly well-deserved!'

"Excellent." She then looked at Ling Fei and said encouragingly, "Keep working hard, and you will surely become one of the chosen ones of our Celestial River Academy!"

"I will definitely work hard," Ling Fei said, his eyes filled with determination.

His goal wasn't just Celestial River Academy, after all!
