Chapter 937: Ordinary and Unremarkable

On the high platform, Ye Qingran stared at the hole in the center, lost in thought.

She had just been pondering a question.

If the Spirit Jade fragment is suppressed by the Demon‑Subduing Pillar, the outside world cannot sense the Spirit Jade's aura; then does that mean the Pillar is not directly suppressing the Spirit Jade itself, but...

Someone or something else!

"What exactly is hidden inside the Spirit Jade?"

Ye Qingran murmured softly, still unable to figure it out.

"Ye Qingran, what are you still scribbling? Get started quickly!"

"Don't push, it won't help; I think she doesn't understand Spirit Jade Power at all!"

"Exactly, she's definitely just seeking attention!"

The disciples of the White Tiger Academy raised sarcastic, alternating voices.

Ye Qingran retracted her fluttering thoughts, sat cross‑legged, and began the Spirit Jade Test.

"What a pretentious act!" Among the White Tiger Academy disciples, Yang Jiao Mi, veiled, glared at Ye Qingran with venomous eyes, as if wanting to tear her to pieces.

That day at the West Garden cafeteria entrance, she had her front tooth knocked out by a slap from Ye Qingran; her face is still swollen, and when she opens her mouth, the missing tooth looks terribly unsightly, forcing her to wear a veil now.

Su Luo Qiu descended from the high platform and, summoned by Luo Ting, stepped onto the ceremonial platform.

"Luo Ting, you really have taken a fine disciple!"

"It seems Su Luo Qiu's first place this year is a sure thing!"

Several Elders and Instructors offered congratulations to Luo Ting.

Su Luo Qiu heard this and showed a modest smile.

"Elders and Instructors, I still have a long way to go,"

She said that aloud, but deep down she was extremely proud; she could already picture Gōngzhǎng awarding her a prize before everyone in the academy, and the thought made her heart surge with excitement.

The era belonging to Su Luo Qiu has finally arrived!

As for Ye Qingran...

Su Luo Qiu gave Ye Qingran, who was sitting cross‑legged, a disdainful glance, but the next instant she was stunned.

"The fluctuation of Spirit Jade Power—how could this be..."

Su Luo Qiu's face showed astonishment.

Luo Ting's expression also grew solemn.

He hadn't expected that Ye Qingran truly mastered Spirit Jade Power!

After a brief silence, he said in a deep voice, "No problem, it's only second-level Sensing Power!"

Su Luo Qiu nodded, but her heart remained lodged in her throat, an ominous foreboding lingering and refusing to disperse.

"I must be overthinking; even if she has Spirit Jade Power, what difference does it make? Her results will never be good!"

The academy disciples present all anticipated that Ye Qingran truly wielded Spirit Jade Power; otherwise she couldn't communicate with the Spirit Jade and produce a faint resonance.

Just as everyone thought Ye Qingran's result was only second-level, the Spirit Jade's resonance flared again.

Third-level!

Everyone's heartbeat skipped a beat; they clearly felt the resonance of third-level Sensing Power!

"Heavens, she came fully prepared!"

"So she wasn't joking; everything she said was true!"

At this moment, everyone realized that Ye Qingran's earlier claim of coming for the Spirit Jade Test was not a joke or bragging, but sincere!

A holder of third-level Spirit Jade Sensing Power, even placed in the talent‑rich Wànlíng Xuégōng, would still be a mid‑tier result!

Moreover, she hasn't finished yet!

In the White Tiger Academy, the dense crowd, most of whom were ready to mock Ye Qingran, turned serious one by one upon learning she had a third-level Sensing Power score.

Fourth-level.

Fifth-level.

Although the pace was slow, she kept climbing rank by rank, leaving onlookers breathless!

Fifth-level!

Even in the Four Spirit Academies, that would be top‑tier, yet Ye Qingran achieved it!

But she is not an academy disciple; she's merely a Sweeping Maid!

Those who had been sitting to watch the spectacle couldn't help but stand up, their faces extremely solemn.

On the ceremonial platform, Luo Ting's expression was as dark as water, and in his black, dark eyes, beyond endless shock, there was a cold murderous intent.

"No, this can't be! How could that scoundrel possess fifth-level Sensing Power?"

Su Luo Qiu's complexion grew increasingly pale.

At this moment, her ominous foreboding grew ever stronger, nearly spilling over.

She prayed silently for Ye Qingran's test to end quickly; otherwise, if she surpassed sixth-level, the hard‑won glory would crumble and vanish!

Obviously, heaven did not hear her prayer, or perhaps it was never heeded.

Fifth-level Ding grade.

Fifth-level Bing grade.

Fifth-level Yi grade.

Fifth-level Jia grade.

Finally, under everyone's horrified gaze, she vaulted to sixth-level.

"Sixth-level! My heavens!"

Someone trembled their lips, their tone filled with terror.

You should know that this score, among all the disciples of the Wànlíng Xuégōng, would rank within the top three!

A gust of wind blew, tearing away Yang Jiao Mi's loose veil, exposing her face swollen like a pig's head; she opened her mouth, showing a missing front tooth, looking especially comical.

But she could no longer worry about the veil, and others could no longer hold back from mocking her pig‑head face beneath it.

"It must be that I misread..."

She kept shaking her head, trying to convince herself.

Sixth‑level Ding grade.

Sixth‑level Bing grade.

Sixth‑level Yi grade.

Sixth‑level Jia grade.

The massive White Tiger Academy was a sea of people; at this moment, one could hear a pin drop.

If earlier everyone was wondering whether Ye Qingran could overpower Su Luo Qiu and become number one, now they are even more curious about where her limit lies?

Seventh level!

When that intense fluctuation turned into a fierce wind that slammed into everyone's faces, reason only began to return a little.

"Seventh level! How long has it been since I've seen this scene?"

"The last time was three years ago, when Qiu Yue Lang achieved this score in the Spirit Jade Test!"

But that was Qiu Yue Lang, the top talent of the Spirit Jade!

What about Ye Qingran?

She is just an ordinary Sweeping Maid!
