Chapter 107: Unprecedented

If she hadn't seen Lu Jing successfully activate the testing device with her own eyes, she would still have a bit of doubt in her heart.

After all, Lu Jing is already so strong in other respects; if he is still a spiritual Talent Endowed, his future achievements are unimaginable.

A youthful master, plus a spiritual Talent Endowed?

Dong Ningxue knows many geniuses, but none can match Lu Jing.

"Sister Snow, his spiritual power can't also be terrifyingly strong, can it..."

Zhu Xingyao leaned in and whispered.

"Shh..."

Dong Ningxue glared at Zhu Xingyao, "Don't speak; the spiritual power test must be conducted in a quiet environment, because concentration is required during the test, and it places a heavy load on the Talent Endowed."

After speaking, she glanced at Hao Pengjie; even though the test was over, beads of sweat still dotted his face.

"But..."

Zhu Xingyao wanted to say something, but didn't speak.

Because she saw clearly that Lu Jing wasn't straining at all; he looked completely at ease.

At that moment, Lu Jing was continuously channeling his spiritual power inward.

As he infused, the testing device grew increasingly radiant.

Soon, after about a minute or so, the testing device seemed saturated.

The white light vanished instantly, and the device beeped repeatedly.

Dong Ningxue and the other two hurried forward to check Lu Jing's test results.

"Beep! Spiritual power test concluded!"

"Spiritual power, second Realm, medium intensity, purity 24%!"

However, after the results came out, Dong Ningxue and Hao Pengjie were both dumbfounded.

Only Zhu Xingyao didn't understand what the result meant, still eating a lollipop there.

"Sister Snow, what's wrong with you? Is it necessary to make such a fuss? Second Realm, medium is perfectly normal, right?"

Dong Ningxue was almost choked by Zhu Xingyao's words; she retorted irritably, "Spiritual power is hard to cultivate; for someone Lu Jing's age to reach second Realm, medium, is already unprecedented!"

Hao Pengjie nodded; he was so shocked by Lu Jing's test results that he forgot fear, then explained, "I can accept the Realm, but the most terrifying thing is his spiritual power purity!"

"Oh, what's wrong with the spiritual purity..."

Zhu Xingyao was startled by the two's reaction and stammered a question.

Dong Ningxue's beautiful eyes left the testing device and fixed on the calmly‑faced Lu Jing beside her, a strange glint in her gaze, "Typical spiritual Talent Endowed, upon first awakening, have purity around 5%; even Hao Pengjie's 8% is already an exceptional talent..."

Zhu Xingyao was puzzled, "Could it be related to Lu Jing's Realm? His Realm is higher than Hao Pengjie's, so the purity naturally rises, right?"

"No, spiritual power purity has nothing to do with the Realm; the spiritual Realm refers to the strength of spiritual power, not its purity..."

Seeing Zhu Xingyao and Lu Jing's eager faces, Dong Ningxue continued, "Everyone has spiritual power, but only a spiritual Talent Endowed can harness it, and its strength grows with use; purity, however, regardless of effort, barely changes over a lifetime..."

Hao Pengjie sighed and shook his head despondently.

What kind of monster is Lu Jing, his spiritual power purity is three times his!

What does that even mean?

Even if Hao Pengjie's talent Realm is one level higher than Lu Jing's, he'd still be crushed by Lu Jing's purer spiritual power!

His teacher, the strongest spiritual Talent Endowed in Dongchuan Province, started with only 7% spiritual power purity...

Now nearing his seventies after a lifetime of cultivation, his purity has only risen to 10%!

It's easy to see why Hao Pengjie and Dong Ningxue were so shocked after seeing Lu Jing's results.

It's a pure talent gap, a fact that no amount of effort can change!

"So powerful?!"

Zhu Xingyao's eyes lit up; she finally understood what the result signified.

Suddenly, as if she recalled something, she frowned and said in an exaggerated tone, "Lu Jing is so overpowered in every way; the word 'monster' doesn't even describe him. Do you think he might not be human?"

She finished by pointing at Lu Jing with the half‑licked lollipop in her hand, "Could Lu Jing be a Demon Beast in disguise, trying to sneak into the human race? That would make sense..."

Lu Jing couldn't help but be amused by her remark; his talent is actually quite ordinary.

The reason his spiritual power purity is so high is because of the New Wuji Contemplation Method.

Others have no way to cultivate spiritual power, so they think its purity is hard to raise.

But for Lu Jing, simply visualizing a tiny diamond figure in his mind suffices.

A purity of 24% is not his ceiling, but his starting point!

However, a headache arises: if he continues practicing the New Wuji Contemplation Method, what if his purity rises again before the next test and gets discovered?

It seems he'll have to devise a reason...

Dong Ningxue heard Zhu Xingyao's nonsensical remark and felt a hint of agreement for the first time.

She too suspected that Lu Jing wasn't a "normal person".

She wanted to open his mind and study it, to see what species he truly is.

"Lu Jing, when did you awaken your spiritual talent, and did anyone teach you?"

Dong Ningxue's clear, beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Jing, trying to read something from his face.

Lu Jing thought for a moment, then quickly came up with an excuse.

"I awakened a long time ago," Lu Jing said, recalling, "I was still young then, and an old gentleman found me, saying my talent was exceptional and my spiritual purity unlike ordinary people, and took me as a disciple..."

Since my strength couldn't be concealed, I simply surrendered it to my talent.

Is it wrong that my talent is exceptional?

"Since then, I have been cultivating spiritual power under my master, and later the old man discovered that my spiritual purity could actually increase with age, though it had never been tested..."

"Is that even possible?"

Dong Ningxue heard Lu Jing's reply and frowned.

Dong Ningxue observed for a while, but didn't discern any useful information from his face.

At that moment, Hao Pengjie slapped his thigh, his expression excited as he said, "I've remembered! My master once said that a long time ago there seemed to be a person whose spiritual purity increased rapidly, probably like Lu Jing, just not as exaggerated!"

"Is that so......"

Dong Ningxue nodded, her expression visibly relaxed a bit.

Lu Jing also let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

Hao Pengjie's move was truly a divine assist!

If one truly reveals a method to increase one's spiritual power purity, it could very likely rouse those ancient monsters whose strength is unfathomably deep.

Then one would face endless relentless pursuit......
