Chapter 1462: A Test of Strength?

As he spoke, he had arrived at the entrance of the pathway. He jumped up and down at the same spot as if he was warming up for the test.

Tang Wulin suddenly sensed the energy fluctuation on Lan Fozi’s body transform precisely then.

It was different as compared to the mediocrity earlier. At the moment, Tang Wulin felt as if a bomb had ignited on his body. His soul power was elevating in a manner that was explosive. Moreover, it lasted more than a moment as his aura soared continuously.

What kind of ability was that? It seemed that it was more than just his soul power.

“Begin!”

As soon as the electronic voice announced the commencement of the test, Lan Fozi moved. A wheel of lights suddenly appeared behind him while his soul ring did not appear at all. The light wheel appeared to be light blue with peculiar runes floating within it. His aura turned harmonious instantaneously. In an instant, he floated out like a puff of smoke.

His speed was not particularly swift as he began transforming the moment he dashed out. It seemed as if he was attempting to outwit the enemy. His body was pliant as a cloud while his silhouette kept changing. In the next moment, he was already at the other end of the pathway.

Tang Wulin sensed that his body was accompanied by three light shadows which were his most powerful spiritual power. Lan Fozi was much more powerful than the person before him.

Lan Fozi remained upset. He stamped his foot against the ground when he arrived at the opposite side. He turned back to look at the pathway. He shouted in rage, “This is too difficult!”

He did not leave immediately but stood at the other end staring at Tang Wulin. He wanted to see how Tang Wulin would pass through the pathway.

As Lan Fozi saw it, his final score was nine points after being touched three times. Hence, this new acquaintance of his could not be more powerful than him. Although speed was not his forte, he felt confident about his body maneuvers. Meanwhile, this boy who had declared to have earned ten points in the first round did not show Lan Fozi his electronic card. Lan Fozi figured he would be able to find out by judging his speed and dodging skills.

Lan Fozi wished to see how Tang Wulin would pass the test as a fellow competitor in the Joust For A Spouse Festival.

Tang Wulin walked to the pathway’s entrance and took a glance at Lan Fozi standing on the opposite side. His lips curved into a smirk.

“Begin!”

The electronic voice sounded!

Lan Fozi watched as a piercing purple-blue light suddenly illuminated on Tang Wulin’s body. The moment the light appeared, Tang Wulin had already shot toward the other end of the pathway.

The entire process was magical!

Lan Fozi only heard a whooshing sound in the air before Tang Wulin showed up at his side.

The speed did not account for anything in the test. To determine one’s agility and to predict abilities are more important. Speed alone could not reduce the effects from the attack of the light shadows.

However, Lan Fozi’s eyes widened in surprise at present.

What happened? He obviously saw the light shadows which had attacked Tang Wulin warp one at a time when Tang Wulin dashed over. The attacks which were warped slowed down before landing on Tang Wulin. In the end, Tang Wulin managed to evade the attacks and reached the spot where Lan Fozi was at.

He reached out to grab Tang Wulin’s wrist. However, Tang Wulin did not stop him.

Ten points! The electronic card displayed his score clearly!

“Brother, you cheated huh!” said Lan Fozi with a slight dissatisfaction.

Tang Wulin glanced at Lan Fozi. “How did I cheat?”

“You…” Lan Fozi was about to say something but realized that he could not reveal how Tang Wulin had cheated in the test. It was apparent that the lightning unleashed from his body disrupted the soul device tester. Yet, Lan Fozi had no explanation for it! It was considered part of Tang Wulin’s ability.

Lan Fozi’s lips twitched once. He gave Tang Wulin a big thumbs up and walked out at the other end.

Tang Wulin followed closely behind.

The contestant after Tang Wulin was rather unfortunate. He watched as Tang Wulin dashed over at lightning speed without being hit by the light shadows. So, he followed suit and adopted the same method.

Alas, he was the first person to be hit in today’s test!

A contestant would be immediately eliminated if he or she received a null score. Thus, it was a tragedy for him!

There were many things in life that one should not simply imitate!

“Brother, you’re leading by one point now. Do you believe me when I say I’m going to catch up in the third round regardless of the test?!” Lan Fozi’s competitiveness was obviously triggered by Tang Wulin. Moreover, he was being recalcitrant.

“Hmm, I do.” Tang Wulin cracked into a smile to reveal his pearly whites. He did not retort Lan Fozi.

Lan Fozi was going to continue with his tirade of describing his power, yet his speech was stopped short by Tang Wulin. He even felt a little dejected.

They soon saw the soul device tester for the third round of the test.

It was a tablet-like stone object. Of course, it was not made of stone but an alloy.

“Boom!” The tester before them hit the impactor located on one side of the soul device. A stream of light then bounced upward on the enormous tester. The position where the light stopped indicated the outcome of the test.

The soul device had a simple design made of ten boxes. It was apparent that the number of boxes represented the score one would obtain from the test.

“Is this a strength test?” Lan Fozi was stunned for a moment, but Tang Wulin smiled.

Lan Fozi turned his head to the side and took a glance at Tang Wulin. Lan Fozi was slightly relieved upon seeing that Tang Wulin was not overly strong albeit he had a tall and burly figure.

The strength test did not allow the participant to utilize his soul power. He could only use his own strength to hit the impactor.

“Why are we testing our strength? Who’s going to use pure strength in a battle?” mumbled Lan Fozi slightly dissatisfied. Obviously, Lan Fozi was not especially skilled in strength.

Tang Wulin spoke, “Do you still think you’re going to triumph over me now?”

Lan Fozi answered, “Why not? Could it be that you’re skilled in strength?”

“Oh, I’m alright.” Tang Wulin was not playing humble.

Lan Fozi said, “Then, we shall see. Actually, I’m quite alright in strength too. Do you know that when I was young…” At this point, he suddenly paused his speech. A flash of vigilance showed in his eyes, and he did not continue talking.

Tang Wulin did not question either. He gazed after Lan Fozi’s silhouette as he ascended the test platform.

A stream of radiance landed on his body from the tester. It was to ensure that he would not be using his soul power during the strength test.

Compared to the few contestants before them, their strengths did not seem to be that powerful. After all, which soul master would focus on training their strengths after cultivating to a certain level? In fact, a person’s physical strength would be elevated along with the elevation of his soul power cultivation base and physical improvement. Only those who were blessed with natural endowments would be specially skilled in strength.

Lan Fozi stood before the strength tester looking very serious and focused.

When the staff informed him that he could begin, he took a deep breath. His rather skinny figure seemed to grow taller and bigger. In between breaths, his figure’s size soared. He turned his body by half a circle and swung his right fist abruptly.

At the moment he punched with his fist, the sound of an air blast was heard.

“Boom!”

The light bounced up instantaneously and rose at full speed.

Lan Fozi immediately turned around after throwing the punch. He was just in time to see the light finally stopped above the seventh dial.

Out of the few soul masters who tested before him, the best result achieved was only six points. At seven points, it was a rather impressive result for the strength test!

He smiled at Tang Wulin and pointed in the direction of the tester before he got down from the platform.

During his turn, Tang Wulin walked onto the test platform calmly. The strength test, huh? It had been an exceptionally long time since he last underwent a strength test. Even he had no idea of the extent of his strength now.

He only knew that his strength was around five thousand four hundred kilograms before the golden trident acknowledged him as the master. Anyhow, he managed to wield the golden trident with great effort.

“Begin!”

“Bang!”

Tang Wulin executed the simplest of methods during the test. He did not bother to poise himself nor make any preparatory movements. Instead, he simply threw a punch following the announcement.

The boom was not that loud either, but the whole equipment seemed to jump when he threw his punch. The light surged skyward! It rose all the way to the peak instantaneously and a crisp “ding” sounded. The contestants who were lined up behind watched in bewilderment.

He had breached the edge of the sky!

The strength tester did not end at the tenth dial! The tenth dial was positioned at about two thirds of the total height of the entire tester. There were no more dials beyond the tenth.

The large-scale tester was actually used to measure the strength of the strength-type soul masters who employed their soul powers.

Ten dials were naturally sufficient for a competition that did not allow its contestants to utilize their soul power as in Tang Wulin’s current situation.

Yet, Tang Wulin’s punch had sent the light pillar surging to the top at once to produce a crisp ding.

Was this person even human?

The staff’s eyes widened in surprise while Tang Wulin darted a look at the ten points displayed on his wrist.
