Chapter 562: Assessment of the Five Great Families Begins

Dan family Dan Xuan.

Bai family Bai Ying.

Qiu family Qiu Ji.

After Cao Ying, Dan Xuan and several others also clasped fists and paid their respects.

After all, Elder Sheng is one of the eight great elders of the Dan Tower, whose status is far beyond that of ordinary elders.

As for him, even the Five Great Families must treat him courteously.

"Representative of the Ye family, Lin Feng, has met Elder Sheng."

Since this elder appeared, he has never offended me.

Therefore, Lin Feng also gave the other side much face.

"Heh, you, a youthful prodigy at the Dou Zong realm who surpassed a higher tier to defeat the Second‑Star Dou Zun Grand Elder of Fen Yan Valley, have lately become quite renowned in the Dan Realm."

Elder Sheng stroked his beard lightly and smiled faintly.

"Just a bit of petty fighting, how could it catch Elder Sheng's eye."

Hearing this, Lin Feng replied calmly.

"How could it be petty fighting? You even dare to strike at members of my Bai family at will, clearly you do not hold my Bai family in any regard!"

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, the Bai family's Bai Ying beside him let out a cold sneer and said ominously.

"Do you really think that, even with two Dou Zuns, I cannot deal with you?"

While speaking, a faint terrifying aura spread from Lin Feng's body.

And the Bai Ying, only a novice Dou Zong, instantly felt a chill in his body, stepped back a few paces, and looked at Lin Feng in disbelief.

He had originally thought that, having brought a Sixth‑Star Dou Zun and a Fourth‑Star Dou Zun strongman this time, the other side would certainly dare not be disrespectful.

But he did not expect that the former was not scared at all.

"You wait for me!"

Bai Ying gritted his teeth, his anger nearly bursting out of his chest.

However, due to his own strength and the venue, he did not continue speaking.

As for Cao Ying and Dan Xuan beside them, a flash of surprise passed through their eyes.

Previously, they had only heard that Lin Feng possessed great strength, but judging from the aura just now…

If they truly fought Lin Feng, they would likely be unable to defeat him even if they all attacked together.

"Since there are no issues, let's begin today's assessment."

Elder Sheng directly ignored the conflict between Lin Feng and Bai Ying, and slowly stepped back.

Behind him was an object covered by a black cloth.

He then pulled the black cloth away, revealing a transparent stone tablet about a zhang tall, looking like crystal.

"Our assessment is divided into three parts, and the first is Soul Testing."

"As everyone knows, the soul is the most essential foundation for alchemists. Only a sufficiently strong soul can possess adequate soul perception and soul manipulation."

At this point, Elder Sheng pointed to the center of the stone tablet, where a round smooth mirror disc lay.

"You each will channel your soul power into it, and this mirror disc will measure your soul value, which we call the Soul Score."

"A Soul Score above four hundred passes. In recent years, the highest record in the Five Great Families' assessments was set by Cao Ying, whose score reached 976 and remains unbeaten."

Saying this, Elder Sheng's gaze also turned to Cao Ying beside him.

But she remained composed, showing no change despite the surrounding gazes.

"Heh, since everyone knows the rules, let's begin. Who will go first?"

Elder Sheng then withdrew his gaze and smiled at Lin Feng and the five others.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man named Qiu Ji of the Qiu family immediately stepped forward.

He placed his palm lightly on the stone tablet, eyes half‑closed, as soul power surged through his arm into it.

"Beep—beep—beep!"

As the soul poured into the tablet, the smooth mirror disc at its center suddenly emitted a beeping sound.

Then the blood‑red numbers on the disc surged upward sharply.

After about ten seconds, under the many gazes, the number finally settled at six hundred and thirty.

When the number fixed, Qiu Ji released his palm.

He glanced at the number on the disc and immediately let out a sigh of relief.

This number meets the Dan Tower's requirement.

Just after the former finished testing, Bai Ying followed closely, placing his palm on the tablet as soul power surged out.

"Beep—beep—beep!"

As Bai Ying's internal soul power continuously output, the blood‑red numbers on the disc also rose rapidly.

Finally, it slowly settled at six hundred and eighty.

"Sorry for the poor showing."

After the former finished, Dan Xuan immediately bowed slightly to Lin Feng and Cao Ying, then strode forward.

"Beep—beep—beep!"

With Dan Xuan's soul energy surging, the blood‑red numbers on the disc flashed and broke past eight hundred in an instant.

Soon after, it finally settled slowly at eight hundred and fifteen.

Looking at the blood‑red value on the disc, everyone present was somewhat surprised.

A series of admiring gazes immediately fell upon Dan Xuan's body.

"Indeed, as the next helmsman of the Dan family, you are truly incomparable; this level of soul power, even among Seventh Grade Intermediate alchemists, is top‑tier."

Gazing at the blood-red numbers on the mirror plate, Elder Sheng thought to himself.

Seeing that the former had finished the test, Lin Feng was just about to step forward to take the test.

However, at that moment, a fragrant breeze suddenly swept past beside him.

Immediately after, a red-clad graceful figure arrived before the stone tablet.

Cao Ying gazed at Lin Feng with her lovely eyes, smiling sweetly, and said, "I, a young lady, will show my awkwardness."

As for Lin Feng, he simply shrugged his shoulders.

Regarding the order of testing, he didn't care.

Therefore, he also did not raise any objection.

After Cao Ying finished speaking, her fair jade-like hand immediately extended and pressed onto the stone tablet.

An extraordinarily vast and majestic soul pressure suddenly surged forth from within her delicate form.

Boom!

A low, muffled roar erupted in the space around Cao Ying's delicate body.

An invisible soul storm swiftly formed around her.

As the storm formed, the surrounding space became extremely distorted.

The blood-red numbers on the mirror plate suddenly shot up at a dizzying speed!

The appearance of the invisible soul storm instantly caused an uproar throughout the hall.

After a long while, the storm gradually weakened and finally dissipated completely.

As the soul storm subsided, the snow-white feather that Cao Ying had placed on the stone tablet was also slowly withdrawn.

Then, at the same moment, everyone's gaze turned toward the mirror plate at the center of the stone tablet.

One thousand five hundred!

Hiss!

After a brief silence in the hall, it was finally broken by a series of sharp intakes of breath.

Many gazes, filled with barely concealed shock, were fixed upon the slender figure before the stone tablet.

"Truly worthy of being the most outstanding genius in the Cao family's history; at such a young age, to already possess such achievements is truly terrifying."

Elder Sheng gazed at the blood-red numbers, marveling in his heart.

"Mr. Lin Feng, it's your turn."

At this moment, Cao Ying turned her lovely face, smiling sweetly as she looked at Lin Feng and said.

"Hehe, then I won't waste any time."

A light laugh of waste, and then he immediately stepped forward.

Cao Ying also timely left the front of the stone tablet, stepping aside.

Seeing Lin Feng step forward, the crowd in the hall again stretched their necks, motionlessly staring at him.

They were also curious, wondering just what level Lin Feng was at.

As for Ye Xinlan and Ye Chong of the Ye family seated far away, upon seeing Lin Feng step forward, both clenched their fists involuntarily.

Boom!

Instantly, a mighty soul power surged forth, like an awakening giant dragon.

Slowly emanating from Lin Feng's body, it swept outward.

An invisible soul storm formed once again before this stone tablet.

And the numbers on the mirror plate likewise surged wildly!

After a brief moment, the numbers on the mirror plate finally gradually came to a stop.

The people in the hall also hastily turned their gaze toward it.

One thousand five hundred!

The number that left the crowd dumbfounded once again appeared before everyone's eyes.

Whoosh~

Seeing that number, Ye Xinlan and Ye Chong immediately let out a heavy sigh of relief.
