Chapter 151: Please Accept Me as Your Disciple
As Li Wenliang gritted his teeth controlling the small ball's rise, his classmates behind him also became excited one after another.
"Come on, Li Bro!"
However, that shout caused Li Wenliang's mental power to slack, and the secret silver ball fell with a "pa".
"Didn't I tell you not to make a sound? Do you have a bad memory?"
Li Wenliang's chest heaved with anger; he turned and punched the kid who had cheered, "Shut your mouth, or go wait outside."
"Sorry, Li Bro, I promise not to make a sound..."
The boy who got punched covered his mouth and stammered.
Li Wenliang looked up at the timer on the wall; twenty seconds had passed.
"Whoosh—"
He exhaled, cleared his mind, and controlled the secret silver ball to rise into the air.
Gradually, the ball, under control, passed through the small hole at the entrance and officially entered the maze.
Li Wenliang suddenly stepped forward, his eyes wide, his hands making a seal gesture; the flesh on his body trembled from the exertion.
He kept chanting, "Enter! Enter! Enter!"
Lu Jing shook his head beside him; this fat guy's operation truly left him dumbfounded.
After Li Wenliang exerted all his effort, the secret silver ball was initially fairly obedient, smoothly passing through two junctions inside the maze.
But soon, his eyes widened further and his body shook like a sieve.
"Pa—"
The secret silver ball lost control, slid straight out of the maze, and fell onto the table.
"Control test failed!"
The old man shook his head and announced the result.
Li Wenliang's expression first relaxed, then the creases on his face furrowed together as he said helplessly, "Um, I wasn't prepared this time; can you give me another chance?"
"Sure, don't rush. The control test gives three attempts; you can prepare more. Familiarizing yourself with the maze structure beforehand helps a lot, and don't tense your body too much, or it will affect your performance."
The old man in charge of the test was still easy to talk to; he not only comforted Li Wenliang but also gave him some tips for passing.
Li Wenliang quickly thanked him and hurried to recover his expended mental power.
Five minutes later, Li Wenliang stood up and came to the maze again.
This time he heeded the old man's advice, kept a relaxed posture, and continuously drove the secret silver ball forward.
Finally, as the timer was about to end, he barely managed to pass through the maze.
"Holy shit, I did it!"
Li Wenliang jumped up directly.
His classmates behind him also congratulated him one after another.
"Congratulations, you passed this test."
The old man also congratulated him with a smile.
"You have successfully passed the certification of a first‑Realm mental Talent Endowed; the Talent Endowed medal will be mailed to the address you filled out within seven days."
【Frankly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and chase updates, switching sources, multiple voice options,. yeguoyuedu works on Android and iOS.】
"Hehe, thanks."
Li Wenliang wiped the sweat from his forehead and thanked the old man with a joyful face.
Just then, the door of the test room was knocked.
Three staff members carried in a huge piece of equipment, swaying as they walked.
"Old Hao, the test equipment you wanted has been brought."
"Hmm, just put it here."
The old man nodded, walked over, debugged the new equipment, then said to Lu Jing, "Kid, come over; could you test it again?"
Lu Jing nodded, remained in place, and let his mental power spread outward.
Li Wenliang's group, having passed the test, did not leave immediately but quietly watched from the side.
They also wanted to know whether Lu Jing's test result was due to equipment failure.
Just as Lu Jing extended his mental power into the test device, his peripheral vision suddenly glanced at the old man nearby.
He sensed an extremely strong mental power emanating from the old man's body, slowly approaching his mental domain.
The old man likewise looked at Lu Jing, his dull yellow pupils flashing with strange light.
It turned out the old man in charge of the test was also a mental Talent Endowed; Lu Jing thought to himself, "Just now someone called him Old Hao—could he be Hao Pengjie's master?"
Out of curiosity about Lu Jing's mental power, the old man released his own mental field, carefully approaching so as not to disturb Lu Jing's test.
Lu Jing watched the approaching mental power, curled the corner of his mouth, and sent out a small strand of his own mental power to meet it.
"Whoosh—"
An invisible mental storm unfolded in the room, lifting the curtains and also fluttering the hems of Li Wenliang and a few others.
"Weird, why is there wind in this sealed room?"
A group of people whispered to each other; only Li Wenliang looked utterly shocked.
Just now he felt the light ahead quickly dim, large shadows appearing on both Lu Jing and the old man, making him feel like a small boat in a raging storm.
When Lu Jing's and the old man's mental powers touched, it was like two people shaking hands in real life—a light contact and each returned to their own selves.
Lu Jing's expression remained unchanged; this way of greeting among mental Talent Endowed is still quite wonderful.
But the old man felt differently; from the contact with Lu Jing's mental power he sensed a pressure as tangible as substance.
In his eyes, Lu Jing was like an immovable demon king, suffocating.
This teenager's mental power purity is terrifyingly strong; obviously, the test data just now was absolutely not falsified!
Soon, the results of the second test came out.
"Beep! The spirit power test is over!"
"Spirit power three Realms high intensity, purity 41%!"
The score is exactly the same as the first!
The old man fell silent, his expression extremely complex, not knowing what he was thinking.
Meanwhile, Li Wenliang and his group exploded in an uproar.
"Brother Li, this person's test results are still so impressive."
"Why is his spirit power purity so high? This isn't fair!"
"What else could it be?" Li Wenliang said impatiently, "Because they're stronger than me, don't you see? This is a master, and a youthful genius!"
Although Li Wenliang felt a bit elated after awakening his talent, he still felt genuine respect for true experts.
"Alas, truly a genius rare in a thousand years."
Hao Lao sighed, a hot tear actually rolled down his eye, and then he actually grabbed Lu Jing's shoulder.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
Lu Jing raised his eyebrows, not quite understanding Hao Lao's meaning.
"Young man, may I ask which sect you belong to, and does your master have plans to take on more disciples?"
As soon as Hao Lao finished speaking, he shook his head and continued: "If you don't mind, I, the old man, could also become your disciple, hoping only to enter the next Realm in my twilight years."
Lu Jing hurriedly helped Hao Lao up, who was about to kneel, "Sir, would you believe me if I said it's an extraordinary innate talent? I have no sect, born with spirit power purity unlike ordinary people."
