Chapter 315: Chapter 315

Ying Wushuang steadied herself. There wasn’t any unnecessary expression on her pretty face. She was completely focused on the task.

As soon as she had manipulated the haloes of heaven in her Qihai, a gale started and her hair flew. The gale blew around her from the ground up towards the sky.

The calm water was finally disturbed. The ripples spread out to the edge of the jar.

“Ah?”

The onlookers were surprised, no longer looking down on her.

The ripples were spread out following a certain pattern and tempo, which meant that Ying Wushuang had an extraordinary control of her halos of heaven.

“Huh.”

Murong Yuan was surprised, too, but the disdain on her face wasn’t gone. The test had only just started.

Then the water in the jar began to rotate clockwise. The ripples became tumbling white waves.

Ying Wushuang took a deep breath and moved her palms down.

The current started to run violently, faster and faster, like horses spurred on. Soon, a whirlpool appeared under her palms.

If anyone gazed at the flow of water at that moment, they would feel dizzy.

Under countless shocked gazes, Ying Wushuang pulled her hands back all of a sudden, but the rotation of the water carried on due to inertia.

One lap.

Two laps.

Three laps.

…

Thirty-four laps!

Everyone had been counting silently. They looked at each other for confirmation, knowing they hadn’t counted wrong when they saw the same shock in others’ eyes.

The water in the jar weighed more than steel, but it was very tenacious.

If the test taker stopped imposing force, no matter how violently the current had been moving, the water would soon become calm again.

That was why everyone was counting before the Hero Palace could announce the results.

Ten laps was average.

Twenty laps was excellent.

Murong Yuan had achieved twenty-one laps, but Ying Wushuang had achieved such impressive results so easily.

The onlookers looked towards the notice board. In the middle of the board, Ying Wushuang’s name appeared.

The result of her first test item was outstanding.

Like the Sacred Institute, there was a hidden grade in the grading system.

Outstanding was the level above superior.

Since they had counted thirty-four laps themselves, they didn’t find it too surprising. All together, they looked towards Murong Yuan.

The disdain on her face had been replaced by surprise.

Like a dark creature exposed to sunlight, she had no way to hide her expression.

Although she tried hard to act unshaken, she was still embarrassed.

“She must have focused on this item recently! What matters is the overall performance, not the performance on one part of the test,” a female disciple beside Murong Yuan said, trying to save her reputation.

That was something Murong Yuan liked hearing. She managed to retain some of her dignity.

Ying Wushuang didn’t respond. She began the second part of the test directly. She would shut these people up with proof that she was better.

“Elder, have you thought about what to say in your apology?” Jiang Chen came to Du Yue, who was also petrified, and said to him with smile.

“Huh.” Du Yue knew what he meant. He gnashed his teeth. He hadn’t given up yet, still expecting the results of the second item.

The second part was to test one’s explosiveness, or the force that a Reaching Heaven State carrier of martial arts could exert in one second!

The test tool looked very simple. It was a 30-yard-high copper pillar standing in the square that was as wide as a person.

The surface of the pillar was very smooth. People could vaguely see their reflections in it, like a mirror.

The test taker had to punch the copper pillar with their full strength to get the result.

A circle with a diameter of three feet had been painted on the ground around the pillar. The test taker had to stand in the circle to ensure the test was fair.

If they were allowed to gather momentum by running from thousands of feet away, the kinetic energy generated couldn’t be classified as explosive.

After the first part, Ying Wushuang had found her confidence once again, not nervous at all. All she needed to do was to try her best.

Who is he?

Ying Wushuang looked towards Jiang Chen before she started. The latter was smiling as usual. It was the first time that she had ever found him attractive.

Ying Wushuang curled her lips and held the odd feeling down.

When she looked forward again, she was completely focused.

Explosiveness had to do with many things. Emotion was one of them, so the copper pillar became Mo Jianfei in her eyes, the man who had confessed his love to her and was then rejected by her. She recalled how she and Murong Yuan had been friends.

Then the happy scenes disappeared. Mo Jianfei and Murong Yuan were accusing her of seducing him, saying she was shameless.

Her old friend refused to listen to her argument. Even though she knew Ying Wushuang was innocent, she couldn’t accept the fact that her fiancé had fallen in love with her best friend, so she showed her cruelest side. She didn’t show any mercy, constantly giving Ying Wushuang a hard time.

Ying Wushuang started by hitting the copper pillar with the power of an angry animal.

Bang! She slapped her palms on the pillar with all her strength. The whole universe was shaken.

People who hadn’t seen it clearly thought there had been thunder. The flying dust made many people cough.

Huh.

A silvery laugh broke the silence. People were confused until they saw Ying Wushuang. She looked completely different. She was beaming, showing her beautiful teeth.

People were struck dumb. Two ideas occurred to them.

I didn’t know Ying Wushuang can smile.

Gosh, her smile is so beautiful.

In their minds, Ying Wushuang always looked fierce and cold, as if the whole world was her enemy. She wasn’t nice to anyone, but at that moment, she was like sunshine. The onlookers all felt like they had just found a new treasure that was unique and astounding.

Ying Wushuang was embarrassed by their looks. She stopped smiling, suddenly at a loss. She instinctively looked towards Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was happy. Ying Wushuang had been totally liberated through that punch. Her original self had come back.

“Wow! Another outstanding!”

She had been too surprised to pay attention to her results.

It had been published on the board. She had received another outstanding for the second test.

She actually didn’t have to take the third test. She had already exceeded Murong Yuan, even if she only earned a pass on the third.

Murong Yuan felt conflicted at that moment, especially at the thought of Ying Wushuang’s sudden change.

She flicked her sleeves and turned around to leave, unwilling to see what would happen next.

As for the rewards the test promised, she had never been interested.

“Are you leaving? Don’t you want me to apologize to you and kneel down to kiss your shoes?”

But Jiang Chen’s annoying voice followed her, preventing her from leaving.

“Kiss them if you want.”

Murong Yuan flew into a rage. Without trying to maintain her image, she turned around and lifted her right foot.

This was unexpected to Jiang Chen. He shrugged his shoulders and said, “Pity. The bet has nothing to do with you.”

His bet concerned Du Yue, who would have to admit his mistake in person.

Murong Yuan didn’t have to do anything.

The female disciples accompanying her comforted her, and she left with them.

As for Du Yue, she didn’t care about him at all.

Du Yue didn’t feel confident when he realized this.

He regretted agreeing to the bet in the first place, but he didn’t have any chance to go back on his word. Jiang Chen opened a jade book and replayed what he had said in the pavilion before about being noble and humble.
