Chapter 319 The Birth of a Myth
What's the point of comparing these? In the tests of Dharma Aspect, Law, Bloodline, and Physique, Su Jie surpassed everyone else by more than one level in every single one!
This is no longer a gap, but a chasm they can never cross!
The human race is in an uproar!
"Senior Brother Su! Invincible!"
"Hahaha! See that? This is the pride of my human race!"
"What Holy Glory Clan, what Dao Clan's Divine Body, they're all trash in front of Senior Brother Su!"
Lei Yue punched his companion hard on the shoulder, grinning widely, "I'm convinced! Utterly convinced! That's insane!"
Xiao Yin also let out a long sigh of relief, shook her head and chuckled: "I even wanted to spar with him before... I was really overestimating myself."
The Lord of Duan Yue stood ramrod straight, his face still bearing that stiff expression, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he were trying his best to suppress some emotion.
After the test ended, Su Jie cupped his hands in the direction of Xuan Cheng Daoist and turned to walk back.
As they passed the Taoist Academy procession, Zi Yin and Yuan Liyue looked at him almost simultaneously.
Zi Yin's eyes were filled with complex emotions. His previous composure had completely vanished, replaced by a heavy scrutiny and a faintly burning fighting spirit.
He suddenly spoke, his voice low but clear: "Su Jie... once your combat strength is tested, I will give it my all."
Su Jie paused slightly, glanced at him, and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Yuan Liyue gave Su Jie a deep look, her clear, cold voice flowing like a moonlit spring: "The Battle Saint Body is invincible in a hundred battles. I hope there will be an opportunity to prove it in the future."
"There will be opportunities." Su Jie smiled and walked back to the human race's ranks.
The atmosphere became somewhat eerie during the next test.
The prodigies who came on stage later, whether from foreign or Daoist races, seemed somewhat distracted, and their results were mostly mediocre.
The minds of all living beings seemed to still be stuck in the shock of that "5000" point.
After the three tests, Su Jie topped the list with a terrifying score of 29500, including 20000 points in Dharma Aspect, 4500 points in Bloodline, and 5000 points in Physique. He was far ahead of the leader.
The second-place Yuan Liyue only scored... 7700 points.
Zi Yin, who came in third, scored 6200 points.
The overall rankings for the four tests were announced, and a huge light screen hung above the square. The overwhelming number of first-place finishers stung their eyes.
After a brief silence, whispers spread like a tide.
"Twenty-nine thousand five... With this score, have we really become mere background figures?"
"Yuan Liyue has 7,700, Zi Yin has 6,200... What a difference..."
"He single-handedly pierced through the ceiling of the entire Celestial Realm."
The atmosphere within the Taoist academy was terrifyingly oppressive. Many young disciples had their heads bowed, their fingers clenched so tightly they turned white.
They were hailed as geniuses from a young age, enjoying the best resources in Zixiao Heaven, and were extremely ambitious.
But today, an outsider, a human of the same age as them, used absolute power to trample all their pride into the mud.
On the Saintly Radiance Clan's side, Jin Chi had completely fallen silent, like a chicken being strangled, his face alternating between red and white.
The atmosphere among the human team was completely different. After the cheers, everyone looked at Su Jie with an almost worshipful light in their eyes.
Even the usually aloof Lei Yue sidled up to Su Jie, marveling, "Brother Su, tell me honestly, are you the reincarnation of some ancient powerful being? This cheat code is just too outrageous!"
Su Jie smiled but didn't reply.
The system slowly spoke in his mind: [Host, please manage your facial expressions. You're smiling like a fox that just stole a chicken.]
"This is a confident smile," Su Jie thought to himself.
Countless gazes turned to Su Jie, no longer with mere jealousy or resentment, but with deep awe and a sense of déjà vu, as if they were witnessing a myth or legend.
Xuancheng Daoist hovered in mid-air, surveying the entire arena, his voice returning to its calm tone: "The first four tests are complete. Now we will proceed to the final test—the Sacred Soul Test."
He paused, his gaze seemingly sweeping over Su Jie before turning to the many prodigies with varying expressions.
"The Sacred Soul is the root of cultivation, the essence of enlightenment, and the key to reaching higher realms in the future."
As he spoke, he waved his sleeve, and ten ancient stone tablets, each three zhang tall and entirely black, slowly rose from the west side of the square.
The stone tablet was of unknown material; merely looking at it made one feel a slight heaviness in their spirit, as if it could absorb all light and fluctuations of soul power.
Master Xuancheng continued, "The Holy Soul Test requires using pure Holy Soul power to impact the 'Soul-Suppressing Ancient Stele'."
"The ancient stele will sense the strength and essence of the sacred soul, manifest a 'soul imprint,' and assign a potential score."
Master Xuancheng explained, "The maximum number of Soul Imprint layers is ten, corresponding to the tenth level of the Sacred Soul."
The first five layers of soul imprints each have a potential score of 200 points, and the last five layers each have a potential score of 1000 points. Let's begin.
The examination method was simple and brutal. One by one, figures stepped forward, stood before the monument, their brows gleaming with light, and unseen holy soul power blasted towards the dark surface of the monument.
Most of the prodigies from other races can only have four layers of blurry soul imprints lit up on the monument, with their scores hovering around 800 points.
Cultivating a sacred soul is inherently difficult, let alone for these beings who are all under thirty years old; their achievements are quite remarkable.
Jin Chi stepped forward, letting out a low roar, golden light flashing between his brows. The surface of the monument hummed, and five clear golden soul imprints lit up in succession!
[Peak of Saint Soul Tier 5, Potential Rating: 1000]
"A fifth-tier soul imprint! No wonder he's a prodigy of the Holy Radiance Clan!"
Jin Chi's expression softened slightly, and he stepped back. However, thinking about the human boy's abnormal score, he still felt empty inside.
The disciples of the Daoist Academy performed better in terms of their souls, with half of them possessing fifth-order soul imprints.
Zi Yin focused his mind and calmed his spirit. A purple light, like a sword, emanated from between his brows. The surface of the monument trembled violently, and six layers of solidified purple soul imprints appeared.
[Late stage of Saint Soul Tier 6, Potential rating: 1800]
Although it drew a lot of praise, Zi Yin's expression was not very good.
Yuan Liyue moved with light steps, her moon-like soul power silently surging forth. Six layers of clearer silver soul imprints lit up on the surface of the monument, stable and gentle.
[Peak of Saint Soul Tier 6, Potential Rating: 2000]
"Peak of the sixth tier! Fairy Liyue is indeed in a league of her own among the Dao Clan Academy this year!"
"Liyue Fairy's Sacred Soul attainments are truly too strong."
Yuan Liyue nodded slightly; this result was within her expectations.
Finally, it was Su Jie's turn again.
He walked to an ancient monument that symbolizes the suppression of evil spirits and stood still.
However, Su Jie was not prepared to use his full strength, because it was too abnormal for someone at the peak of the tenth rank in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and it might expose the existence of the Soul Book.
His most important trump card was the tenth-tier peak Saint Soul, so Su Jie decided to only use the power of the ninth-tier peak Saint Soul. Hmm, that should be enough to deal with the situation.
"System, please help conceal the fluctuations of your true soul power and keep it at the peak of the ninth rank," he silently prayed.
[Received. Simulating peak ninth-tier Saint Soul fluctuations, disguise module activated.] The system's response was concise and efficient.
