Many people felt Ye Tian's strike was just for show. What right did a mere student at the One Vein Seventh Layer have to be so ostentatious on the platform? It wasn't as if he had advanced in a single blow.
Many people looked at Ye Tian with disdain. Only Ye Feifei and Qin Xiaowan understood the true intent behind his strike, and Qin Xiaowan's heart, in particular, was in turmoil.
'If I attacked the stone pillar like Ye Tian, I'd get a Combat Value of three thousand at most. An attack like that can't unleash one's full power; it's too restrained. The gap between us is still so large. I have to work even harder from now on.'
"Zhou Xiang, what do you think Ye Tian is doing? Can he get into the advanced class with an attack like that? Is he just too nervous?" Chu Hongyuan asked when Zhou Xiang came over to his side.
"I'm not sure, but his Attack Power is terrifying. He actually reached over four thousand. Even my all-out strike might not produce a Combat Value that high!" Zhou Xiang said helplessly.
"Ye Tian is the type to hide his strength. To be able to capture the heart of a beauty on the rankings, he must have something extraordinary about him. Maybe he really can get into the advanced class," Chu Hongyuan said.
"You're that sure? I'm not so certain. After all, he only has Seventh Layer strength. It'll be difficult to advance based on Combat Value alone. I just wonder what his talent is like," Zhou Xiang said.
"What are you two talking about? Zhou Xiang, is your beauty ranking done yet? I'm dying to see it! That Qin Xiaowan is definitely one of the beauties on it, right? She's just gorgeous. Makes you drool just looking at her." Qian Xiaohao had also walked up to the two of them by now.
"The ranking still needs some final decisions, but the top ten beauties are basically set. We were talking about Ye Tian. That guy is just one shock after another. It's almost too much to handle," Zhou Xiang said.
"What news? Don't tell me he can actually get into the advanced class? The way he acted just now really rubbed a lot of people the wrong way!" Qian Xiaohao said.
"Alright, Ye Tian is about to start his second attack. Maybe this one will bring us a surprise," Zhou Xiang said.
Ye Tian still hadn't moved far from the stone pillar. After circulating the Dragon Spiritual Power in his body, he quickly threw a punch. It was the same punch as before, but this time with ninety percent of his strength. BANG! A loud sound erupted.
The sound meant his Combat Value had reached five thousand. Yet, he was only knocked back a single step, his expression still indifferent.
This sound instantly shut the mouths of everyone who had looked down on him and thought he was showing off. They all stared at him with looks of disbelief. How could such a casual-looking attack possess such immense Attack Power? Just how powerful was his true strength?
One had to remember, he was currently only at the One Vein Seventh Layer. If he broke through to the One Vein Eighth Layer or even the Ninth Layer Realm, how much stronger would he be? This kid was the real genius.
'Not bad. And that was only using ninety percent of my power. If I used my full strength, along with Thunderbolt Fist and the boost from the War Dragon Heavenly Arm, I should be able to produce an Attack Power of six to seven thousand. If I used the War Dragon Heavenly Arm directly, the Combat Value would be at least ten thousand!' Ye Tian thought to himself.
He had one chance left but didn't plan on using it. He didn't want to reveal too much of his strength. Knowing the result in his own mind was enough.
He glanced at the screen and saw his Combat Value had reached over fifty-two hundred, just a little less than Qin Xiaowan's.
Wei Cheng looked at Ye Tian, his face full of shock. "You still have one more chance. I know you weren't using your full strength. We hope you will display your strongest Attack Power for us, so we can see just how great your potential truly is."
"Instructor Wei, you understand the saying 'a tall tree catches the wind' better than I do. Since I've already advanced, there's no need to strike again. Of course, if you wish to know my true Combat Value, we can do that when no one is around. Now is not the time," Ye Tian said softly.
His voice was soft, and few could hear him. However, Xiao Wenjie and Guan Tianshui did. The shock on their faces was palpable. If such a casual attack was enough for him to advance, they didn't dare to imagine what his true strength was.
Both of them wanted to see how high a Combat Value Ye Tian's final strike would produce, but after what he said, they could only drop the matter. However, the two decided to have him strike again in private.
"Since you put it that way, I won't make things difficult for you! Go test your Talent Value now!" Wei Cheng said.
"Can I skip the test?" Ye Tian asked. He was still a little worried that the result would be too shocking, which would be troublesome.
"This test is mandatory. Don't tell me you're scared?" Wei Cheng asked. He felt a strange aversion to Ye Tian, feeling that the kid was too much of a poser.
"Scared? I, Ye Tian, don't even know the meaning of the word. But since Instructor Wei thinks I need to be tested, then I'll test," Ye Tian said coolly. He had already seen the dissatisfaction in the other man's eyes.
Ye Tian's astonishing performance had already surprised many of the students. Now, his talent test piqued everyone's curiosity even more. They wondered what kind of surprise this guy would bring them this time.
After walking up to the screen, Ye Tian took a deep breath. He then slowly began to circulate the Dragon Spiritual Power within his body. After a few breaths, he placed his palm on the screen.
The Dragon Spiritual Power in his body poured continuously into the screen. For the previous students, the screen had changed color after only a few breaths, and their Talent Value would appear shortly after.
But for Ye Tian, even after pouring in his power for a long time, the screen didn't react at all. He found it very strange and even suspected the screen was broken.
Ye Tian was shocked, and the students below the platform also had looks of confusion on their faces. They didn't understand why Ye Tian's Talent Attribute was taking so long to appear. Could it be that he couldn't even produce the Low Level red light?
On the platform, the most shocked were none other than Xiao Wenjie and Guan Tianshui. The two of them understood this screen better than anyone. There was only one situation that could cause the screen to not react for so long: when it was someone with superlative talent.
Someone had once taken a full day to make the screen light up. Of course, the light that appeared was, at the very least, beyond the blue level.
Ye Tian stood quietly in place, watching the screen intently, but there was still not the slightest reaction. The people below began to murmur, and the discussions grew louder and louder. They concluded he was trash, a good-for-nothing who couldn't even make the screen change color.
After about fifteen minutes, the screen still showed no reaction. Ye Tian's Dragon Spiritual Power, however, was being consumed at a great rate. He began to worry that if this continued, he'd deplete even more. For a moment, he felt a flicker of panic.
"Alright, you can stop! Your Combat Value is already over five thousand, which is enough to enter the advanced class. However, come to the dean's office area later. We have some questions for you," Xiao Wenjie said at this moment.
Ye Tian removed his palm from the screen, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. He was also very surprised by what had happened, but he believed he was definitely not trash.
