Chapter 936

「You say Ye Qingran really came to participate in the Spirit Jade Test? 」

「I think it's impossible! Spirit Jade Power isn't something anyone can master! 」

「That's not necessarily true; Ye Qingran is a divine person who can even make the testing stone look stunningly gorgeous! 」

Amidst the crowd's discussion, Ye Qingran found a spot with a good view and sat down.

The interrupted Spirit Jade Test continued.

After an unknown amount of time, the group test of a hundred people ended, and it was time for the individual test.

The prerequisite for the individual test is having reached level four in the previous Spirit Jade Test.

「Zhu Shuangshuang, Level Four, Grade B. 」

「Jiang Chao, Level Four, Grade D. 」

After observing several disciples' performances and results, I already had a clear idea in my mind.

「So that's how it's judged; then my Sensing Power with the White Tiger Spirit Jade wouldn't be... 」

Ye Qingran spoke softly, a gleam flashing in her eyes.

「Mother, what are they doing? 」

Xiao Hu looked up, his little face full of confusion.

「They are trying to communicate with the Spirit Jade, producing resonance; the strength of the resonance is their score. 」

Xiao Hu nodded, becoming more puzzled: 「But isn't this very simple? Why do they look like they're struggling? 」

Ye Qingran gave a light smile, shrugged, and said, 「Even Mother can't figure it out. 」

As the foremost disciple of the White Tiger Academy, Su Luo Qiu naturally went last. However, the White Tiger Academy side seemed to be deliberately controlling the pace, and by the time it was Su Luo Qiu's turn, it was already late.

「How are the other academies doing? 」

「Only the Vermilion Bird Academy's representative remains. 」

Su Luo Qiu's eyes darkened.

The Vermilion Bird Academy's Qian Yu was first place in last year's Spirit Jade Test and is also her biggest and only rival this year.

However, since Qian Yu began cultivating the Qilin Spirit Jade Power alongside last year, the growth of his Vermilion Bird Spirit Jade Power has been slow.

And after a year of chasing, she finally surpassed Qian Yu, so she is certain to become first place this year!

「Then let's wait a bit longer. 」

「But Senior Sister, the Elder's side is already impatient. 」

Su Luo Qiu furrowed her brows, saying, 「The Elder's side will be handled by the Master; we don't need to worry. 」

After a quarter hour, news came from the Vermilion Bird Academy side: Qian Yu's Vermilion Bird Spirit Jade Sensing Power is Level Six, Grade D.

Upon hearing this news, Su Luo Qiu's eyes flashed with an unusual light: 「As expected, Qian Yu has been focusing on the Qilin Spirit Jade this year; his Vermilion Bird Spirit Jade has hardly progressed at all! 」

「And she... 」

「It's my turn to go up! 」

Su Luo Qiu lifted her chin, confidence radiating from her whole body; under the gaze of countless eyes, she slowly walked onto the platform.

Her gaze swept around, the corner of her lips curved with confidence.

Her gaze lingered on Lou Ting; Lou Ting nodded at her, and she slowly spoke.

「Last year, I lost to the Vermilion Bird Academy's Qian Yu, placing second in the Spirit Jade Test. 」 Su Luo Qiu's voice was clear, mingling with Mysterious Force as it reached everyone's ears.

The disciples instinctively nodded.

Su Luo Qiu was correct; in last year's Spirit Jade Test, she was second and Qian Yu first.

「Just now I heard that Qian Yu's Vermilion Bird Spirit Jade Sensing score is Level Six, Grade D. 」

Upon saying that, many faces showed surprise.

「Level Six, Grade D? Qian Yu's progress this year seems not big. 」

「Indeed, it's not big, mainly because he's devoted all his thoughts this year to the Qilin Spirit Jade! 」

「Even if the progress isn't big, breaking through Level Six is already impressive! How many in the academy can achieve such a score? 」

The crowd chattered. Su Luo Qiu narrowed her eyes, a gleam of extreme brilliance flashing in the depths of her eyes.

「This year's Spirit Jade Test, I will surpass Qian Yu and become first! 」

The volume of those words suddenly rose, full of complete confidence.

After a brief silence, the disciples of the White Tiger Academy began to clap one after another.

「Senior Sister Su, awesome! 」

「Senior Sister Su, keep it up! 」

Seeing this, the other disciples couldn't help but feel surprised in their hearts.

Perhaps Su Luo Qiu already had everything figured out; otherwise she wouldn't be speaking so boldly at this moment.

So, just what level has Su Luo Qiu's Sensing Power reached?

You know, last year she lost to Qian Yu with a Level Five, Grade B result, while Qian Yu's score this year is Level Six, Grade D, so Su Luo Qiu must at least be Level Six, Grade C to beat Qian Yu.

Three grades in one year plus a major realm—is that possible?

Su Luo Qiu saw the disciples' doubts, gave no answer, and instead found a place to sit cross-legged.

This place is not an underground palace but a platform; in the middle of the platform is a circular opening over a zhang wide, below which stands the Demon-Suppressing Pillars, and gusts of wind carrying the Spirit Jade's aura blow up from below.

「Su Luo Qiu, are you ready? 」

The Elder in charge of the assessment asked.

「Ready! 」

「Then let's begin! 」

Su Luo Qiu nodded and began communicating with the Spirit Jade.

As communication deepened, the aura of Spirit Jade Power grew stronger; anyone who mastered Spirit Jade Power could feel the gradually rioting aura permeating the air.

So strong!

Many disciples' faces showed astonishment; looking at Su Luo Qiu, their gazes were filled with envy.

Just at the start, she already has about a fifth‑level yin‑pin grade; it seems Su Luo Qiu has made great progress this year!

She dares to say those words just now, showing she is full of confidence in herself.

About a quarter of an hour later, Su Luo Qiu opened her eyes, the corners of her mouth gradually curling into a smile.

She succeeded!

On the judges' bench, many judges had already tallied the scores; after the presiding elder collected the results, the other elders and instructors began to discuss.

Soon after, Su Luo Qiu's results came out.

The elderly elder walked to the edge of the podium, glanced at the crowd below, and announced: "Su Luo Qiu, White Tiger Spirit Jade sensing score, sixth‑level bing‑pin!"

As his words fell, a gasp rose from the crowd below.

Su Luo Qiu, actually sixth‑level bing‑pin! Too terrifying!

Who says otherwise? Remember, a year ago she was still fifth‑level yin‑pin!

Regarding Su Luo Qiu's result, all the disciples present felt it unbelievable. If this result is correct, Su Luo Qiu will defeat Qian Yu this year and become first place in the entire Wànlíng Xuégōng Spirit Jade Test!

Lou Ting nodded in satisfaction.

Su Luo Qiu lives up to being the disciple he favored; the future is promising!

Congratulations, Senior Sister Su!

Senior Sister is first!

The disciples of the White Tiger Academy began to cheer; Su Luo Qiu gave a humble smile, "Thank you, everyone."

Saying that, her gaze shifted, landing with ill intent on Ye Qingran: "Ye Qingran, the disciples' tests are over; it's your turn now."

She wants to strike while the iron is hot, while her brilliance shines, to expose Ye Qingran's lies and make her feel ashamed before herself!

Ye Qingran stretched lazily.

To be honest, if it weren't for the bet with Lou Ting, she would have left already.

I thought one needed to take the Spirit Jade Test to know one's sensing power, but I didn't expect that a little observation would reveal the pattern.

Ye Qingran, why are you still sitting there? Could it be that you're feeling guilty?

A disciple of the White Tiger Academy asked with a cold sneer.

I think I'd better not take the test...

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously thought Ye Qingran had backed down.

Ye Qingran, you couldn't possibly have not mastered Spirit Jade Power, could you?

If you don't take the test, that's fine. Then take your child and go wait in the dungeon!

Ye Qingran shook her head; she wanted to let these people off, but what if they're unwilling?

Then, let's do it!

"Xiaohu Xiaocheng, Mom is going on stage." Ye Qingran stood up.

"Mom, keep going! We'll wait here for your triumphant return!"

Xiaohu Xiaocheng turned into a little fanboy, just short of waving flags and shouting for Ye Qingran.

Su Luo Qiu stood on the high platform, waiting for Ye Qingran to approach; she gave a malicious smile and said in a voice only Ye Qingran could hear: "Ye Qingran, do you see? I am first; even if you master Spirit Jade Power, what does it matter? You'll still be my defeated subordinate."

"What is your Spirit Jade sensing level? First? Second?" Su Luo Qiu said, laughing out loud, her eyes full of mockery.

Ye Qingran raised her eyebrows and countered: "Is sixth‑level sensing power that strong?"

Su Luo Qiu's face darkened: "Whether it's strong or not aside, at least this is a height you could never reach in your lifetime!"

"Is that so? What if I achieve it?"

"Nonsense!" After saying that, Su Luo Qiu's face again showed a harmless smile, and she loudly said: "Ye Qingran, although you seriously injured Xiu Xiu, I still hope you can strive and perform at your best!"

The disciples hearing this felt their favor toward Su Luo Qiu increase again.
