Chapter 292

No one had expected that this second round would be an actual combat assessment. Although the examiner would only make three moves and adjust the power to the peak of the Spirit Perception Realm, don't forget that their physical fitness was not Spirit Perception. Once they made a move, almost all Spirit Perception experts would find it difficult to take three moves.

Di Zhuan was the best example.

Although he was also very strong, Yu Hai's strength was even stronger, so he was injured after only three strikes. Fortunately, this assessment stopped at the point; if they really wanted to continue fighting, Di Zhuan would definitely lose very miserably.

"Don't be unconvinced. I know you are a genius. In the cultivation circle of the city where you are, your strength is undoubtedly the top existence. But you have to understand that genius is just the threshold to enter the Golden Academy. Also, let me say one more thing: when I entered the Golden Academy, I was only in the Inspiration Realm, and my cultivation value was one thousand two hundred percent."

Yu Hai said slowly: "The reason I came to be this examiner is because among the Soul Realm, my strength is relatively weak, belonging to the poorer batch, and I can only do these leisurely things."

As soon as these words were spoken, Di Zhuan's eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly not expecting that this Yu Hai was once a genius who joined the Golden Academy, and his cultivation value even surpassed his own. He had thought he just relied on his high realm, which was why he was sent to be an examiner.

No wonder.

No wonder this Yu Hai's move just now didn't look like the peak power of the Spirit Perception Realm at all. He had thought it was deliberately targeting him; he hadn't expected that the peak power of the Spirit Perception Realm in Yu Hai's mouth was his previous power, not the power erupted by ordinary Spirit Perception cultivators.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of others also changed.

Genius is just the threshold to enter the Golden Academy.

Before, they didn't have much feeling about this sentence, but until Yu Hai briefly described himself, they deeply felt the meaning of this sentence.

A genius from back then, now becoming a Soul Realm expert, but because his strength was too weak, he was only fit to be an examiner... What a cruel sentence.

"Alright, Yu Hai, take a rest. Let me be responsible for the assessment next. Whose turn is it next?" At this time, Shen Chong on the side walked out with a calm expression. He scanned everyone: "It's still the same as before. Those who can withstand my three attacks and still have the strength to counterattack will be considered to have passed the assessment."

"Whatever realm you are in, I will suppress myself to that realm, and I won't use any real killing moves. However, this restriction only applies to us examiners. If you have any unique skills, you can use them to your heart's content, no need to hold back. If you can hurt us examiners during the assessment, that's your ability, and you will be looked upon more favorably after entering the Golden Academy in the future."

"I'll come." At this time, the purple-eyed man with a tall stature and sci-fi armor walked up with a cold face.

"Alright." Shen Chong smiled.

The next moment, his figure gradually became blurred...

Afterimage?

The purple-eyed man's expression shifted slightly, and then his spiritual perception issued a warning.

Good fellow.

This examiner could actually avoid the warning of spiritual perception one step in advance. If this were really a life-and-death fight, you would be defeated, or even killed, without knowing what was going on. Fighting such an expert, you couldn't even trust your own spiritual perception too much.

Instantly.

The armor on the purple-eyed man's body flashed with red light, and his whole body became alert.

But it was still too slow.

A blurred figure arrived almost in an instant, and just as he said before, Shen Chong didn't use any special killing moves, just swung a punch toward the purple-eyed man. Only, this punch shot out like a bullet, and it hit the purple-eyed man's chest heavily.

The tall body immediately flew backward, and only after retreating more than twenty meters did he barely stop his steps...

This purple-eyed man, like the evolver named Di Zhuan just now, had a mouthful of fresh blood gush out and was immediately severely injured.

"The examiner only exerted the strength level of the Spirit Perception Realm? Are you kidding me?" Jiang Mingtian couldn't help but complain at this moment: "Such a strike, not many Spirit Perception cultivators I know can withstand it. Not dying is already considered impressive. This is clearly cheating. The soul drives the body; even with the same power, the power exerted is worlds apart."

"The first strike is the most terrifying. Is this giving us a warning, or is it waking us all up from our genius dreams?" Li Yi's gaze shifted slightly; he saw some clues.

Whether it was Yu Hai before or Shen Chong now, the first strike was almost unreserved. Although the power was only the peak of Spirit Perception, the speed, reaction, and even the control of details had already exceeded the Spirit Perception realm. Any participant in the assessment, as long as your strength didn't exceed the realm too much, it was almost impossible to withstand.

This was also why Di Zhuan was defeated, and this purple-eyed man was also defeated.

"Come again!"

The purple-eyed man roared, the armor on his body turned into liquid and flowed, gathering on his fists, actually forming a pair of sci-fi style gauntlets. Light flickered on the fists, as if a powerful energy was gathering. He clenched his fists and killed out. With just one strike, the air was blown open, and a huge white wave rolled backward, having the momentum to crush everything in front of him.

"This guy is playing for real." Jiang Mingtian retreated hurriedly, feeling a sharp killing intent.

And such a strike had already exceeded the limit of the Spirit Perception Realm; even he didn't have the confidence to withstand it head-on.

"Strong power doesn't mean you can counterattack. Kid, you're too naive." However, the next moment, Shen Chong's blurred figure appeared strangely behind the purple-eyed man, not intending to clash head-on with the other party at all.

A kick was delivered, and the purple-eyed man's tall body flew out like a cannonball again.

After rolling on the ground more than a dozen times, the purple-eyed man roared again and jumped up. Purple light emerged from his eyes, actually turning into solid light beams and shooting out.

However, such an attack still missed.

The purple gaze pierced through Shen Chong's phantom and landed on the ground, leaving two holes like laser irradiation, extending deep into the underground.

"Last strike. If you can withstand it, your assessment is passed." Shen Chong's voice floated around like a ghost. His figure had never appeared from beginning to end; they were all phantoms that were difficult to capture.

The next moment.

Shen Chong's phantom appeared in front of the purple-eyed man again. This time, he also threw a punch, but the speed and power were reduced quite a bit compared to before. Obviously, he knew that this purple-eyed man could pass the assessment, so he deliberately restrained himself, lest they feel unhappy when they meet in the Golden Academy in the future.

Cultivation is not just about fighting and killing; there is also human sophistication.

The purple-eyed man reacted at this moment, holding the gauntlets, and suddenly counterattacked.

Fist against fist.

The air wave exploded again, and a sound like a sonic boom reverberated, deafening.

The purple-eyed man's figure retreated again. His expression changed again and again, and another mouthful of fresh blood gushed out. His entire arm was numbed by the shock and lost sensation.

"Not bad, you have passed the assessment." But Shen Chong just slowly withdrew his hand, his expression calm, like a person who was fine.

After all, his physical strength was the Soul Realm, and his evolution degree exceeded theirs too much. Clashing head-on with the examiner was not a wise choice. It was just that as geniuses, they couldn't swallow this breath, so they thought of counterattacking. Under normal circumstances, this kind of assessment only required concentrating on defense, and withstanding three attacks would pass the assessment.

"Is this the strength of the peak of the Spirit Perception Realm?" The purple-eyed man became silent at this moment, feeling no joy at all for passing the assessment, but instead began to reflect on his own shortcomings.

Shen Chong didn't speak anymore, just turned to the others and said: "Which of the three of you remaining will continue to participate in the assessment?"

Jiang Mingtian was eager to try at this moment, wanting to stand out, but unexpectedly, the examiner Shen Chong directly named him: "You come."

He pointed his finger, pointing at Li Yi.

Obviously, Zhang Songlin's advance greeting had played a role. Shen Chong wanted to let Li Yi pass the assessment under his own hands. After all, with three strikes, the control of power was not up to him to decide.

"Shen Chong, take a rest. Let me be responsible for this person's assessment." However, at this time, the woman named Jiang Lin walked over and spoke.

"No need, I'll work a bit harder. I'll just finish assessing the remaining two men in one breath, and you can assess the woman who is left." Shen Chong said casually, refusing her arrangement.

Jiang Lin didn't refuse either, just nodded: "Alright then."

Li Yi walked up with a calm expression at this time. He began to mobilize his blood and energy, and a hot air gradually radiated from his body. That extremely vigorous blood and energy actually turned into a wolf-smoke, rushing straight up from the top of his head, and his whole person seemed to be shrouded in a layer of faint blood light.

"Blood-energy wolf-smoke? Good fellow, didn't expect there to be another seedling who practices martial arts." Shen Chong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh.

"Blood-energy wolf-smoke in martial arts? It really is. This blood and energy is very good. Even from such a distance, I can feel that hot-blooded aura rushing toward me."

Yu Hai also sighed: "The two major popular cultivation methods of the Golden Academy, Immortal Dao and Martial Dao. It's just unknown what the martial arts level of this person is. I remember that a while ago, a newcomer appeared in the Golden Academy who also practiced martial arts, forging a Vajra-indestructible body. In the Spirit Perception Realm, he could fight with Soul Realm experts without falling behind at all."

These examiners actually recognized the situation on Li Yi's body at a glance, knowing that he practiced some kind of martial arts.

It's just that martial arts also have high and low, strong and weak distinctions. Top-tier martial arts inheritance is said to be able to shatter the vacuum and forcefully blast open the cross-dimensional gate, while weak martial arts inheritance is about flying over walls and picking leaves to hurt people.

"It seems that the people of the Golden Academy are indeed well-informed. The martial arts method I learned in the Four Seas and Eight Continents was seen through at a glance. This is also good; in the future, there will be no need to deliberately hide and reserve, and it can be displayed generously." Li Yi secretly thought.

When he was in Tianchang City, everyone's level was low, their knowledge was limited, and they didn't understand martial arts methods. But the Golden Academy was obviously different. There were so many people crossing dimensions, and Li Yi wasn't the only one who understood martial arts methods.

He wasn't special.

"Thought this person was plain and unremarkable, didn't expect he was also a guy who practices dual methods, and he practices martial arts." Jiang Mingtian couldn't help but grit his teeth at this moment, feeling that this world was truly full of heroes, and anyone was not a simple character.

Blood-energy wolf-smoke?

He could really hide it.

If it were himself, wherever he went, there would definitely be wolf-smoke everywhere; what was there to hide?

"A seed of martial arts?"

The purple-eyed man also looked deeply at Li Yi, with a different emotion in his eyes.

"What's your name, where are you from?" Shen Chong asked knowingly at this moment.

"Li Yi, from Tianchang City, currently an external combat personnel of the Tianchang City Investigation Bureau." Li Yi said.

"Very good, your strength will surely give me some surprises. Be careful, I won't hold back, so if you have any trump cards, it's best to display them. It will be helpful to you in the future." Shen Chong said, also reminding him.

Li Yi nodded, also intending to go all out at this moment.

He couldn't pin his hopes on a relationship-based connection.
