Chapter 0084: Drum Beating to Measure Strength

Yang Shiyue's words also indicated that she would join the Blue Spirit Star Palace in the future. With her talent, she could easily become a disciple of the Blue Spirit Star Palace.

Qin Yun had no particular fondness for the Blue Spirit Star Palace, mainly due to encountering disciples like Du Yayuan. However, Shui Yihui, who appeared later, was quite decent.

"Teacher, I will definitely strive for the best results in the final exams and secure resources," Qin Yun said confidently.

"If you perform exceptionally well, it is rumored that you can receive personal guidance from the headmaster, and even obtain martial arts techniques!" Yang Shiyue also had confidence in Qin Yun; among the new students, he was the strongest.

Qin Yun suddenly remembered something Yang Shiyue had mentioned before and asked, "Teacher, you once said that people from the Blue Spirit Star Palace would be stationed in various martial courtyards?"

Yang Shiyue nodded, "The Blue Spirit Star Palace provides many martial arts techniques and resources to the martial courtyards, so all the martial courtyards have agreed to their presence. Starting next semester, there will be people from the Blue Spirit Star Palace taking important positions in the martial courtyards."

"You don't need to worry. The headmaster told me that within the Blue Spirit Star Palace, there are four palaces, and they do not get along with each other. There have been open conflicts before, which caused some precious items to fall out during one such struggle."

The Heavy Spirit Jade, Flying Soul Stone, and Void Spirit Stone they obtained were the result of such a conflict.

Thinking about the final exams starting in a month, Qin Yun immediately went into seclusion to practice. He needed to refine his soul scriptures and delve deeper into the martial techniques he had mastered.

If his martial techniques improved, his strength would increase significantly.

He often had an advantage in battles because of his mastery of martial techniques.

Others might have higher-level martial techniques, but at most, they were just beginners or slightly proficient, unable to fully unleash the power of their inner strength.

His martial techniques were not particularly high-level, but he could master them to great perfection or even complete mastery, deeply tapping into the latent power of his inner strength and unleashing tremendous force.

In the Hualing Martial Arts Academy, many students were preparing for the final exams. If they failed, they would have to leave the academy.

Many students had used a large amount of family resources to enter the Hualing Martial Arts Academy. If expelled, they would surely be despised by their families and would never be able to hold their heads high again.

...

A month passed quickly, especially for those who spent their days practicing, barely noticing the passage of time.

During this month, Qin Yun cultivated the Qi Burst Technique to its complete mastery.

The completely mastered Qi Burst Technique was incredibly powerful, capable of producing thunderous explosions!

During this period, he practiced a lot with Yang Shiyue, greatly improving his combat skills.

"Jiang Lang just returned from the Blue Spirit Star Palace. His progress has been rapid, advancing from the Fifth Level of Martial Body to the Sixth Level. Previously, many doubted the strength of the Blue Spirit Star Palace, but now they all want to enter it."

"It seems the Blue Spirit Star Palace is grooming Jiang Lang as a model disciple, and the effect is very noticeable."

Yang Shiyue returned from outside and shared the latest news with Qin Yun.

Jiang Lang possessed a legendary martial soul and decent spirit veins, so being highly regarded was natural.

No one expected that the Blue Spirit Star Palace would have the strength to allow Jiang Lang to break through to the Sixth Level of Martial Body within a month!

Qin Yun was currently in the stage of cultivating his soul scriptures and knew how difficult it was to reach the Sixth Level of Martial Body.

Yang Shiyue patted Qin Yun on the shoulder and smiled lightly, "Stay calm, don't put too much pressure on yourself! Xiao Lang is also a strong Sixth Level of Martial Body, yet he is not your match! Jiang Lang's strength lies in his sound wave martial soul, so just be cautious."

"If I fight him, I need to be very careful with the sound waves." Qin Yun nodded; powerful sound waves could create tremors.

Sound waves spread through vibrations, and he believed his own tremor power could counteract them.

...

In the Hualing Martial Arts Academy, the largest Martial Arts Square, located in the front of the martial courtyard, was very spacious. Early in the morning, it was bustling with activity.

Yang Shiyue and Qin Yun, both wearing simple white martial outfits, arrived at the Martial Arts Field together.

Many students were gathered here, preparing for the final exams.

Seeing Qin Yun arrive, they whispered and discussed in low voices.

"The final exams will definitely include martial contests! Among the new students, Qin Yun and Jiang Lang are the strongest. The final battle will definitely be between them."

"Qin Yun is still only at the Fifth Level of Martial Body, right? Although he defeated Xiao Lang before, he used weapons and a large number of spirit talismans. Our martial contests do not allow these things. Without weapons and spirit talismans, Qin Yun will definitely be crushed by Jiang Lang."

"A sound wave martial soul is a legendary martial soul and is also extremely violent. It is said that those who have fought Jiang Lang suffered terrible injuries."

"Jiang Lang has practiced in the Blue Spirit Star Palace and must have mastered profound sound wave martial arts, making him even stronger!"

If Jiang Lang defeats Qin Yun, it will further enhance the reputation of the Blue Spirit Star Palace, so they must have invested a lot in him!

The new students gathered together to begin the first round of the final exams.

The first round tested inner strength.

The rule was that students undergoing the test had to strike a specially made beast skin drum hard.

A specially made stone was placed on the surface of the beast skin drum.

The stronger the inner strength, the louder the drum sound, and the higher the specially made stone would rise, determining the strength of the inner strength.

"The shock waves you generate from hitting the drum must lift the stone to a height of a hundred meters to be considered qualified."

"The top three will receive rewards of pills or crystals. Let's begin."

An elderly man announced loudly.

Qin Yun and the other students began to queue up, waiting to hit the drum.

There were three lines in total, and Jiang Lang was in another line.

Boom!

A student struck the giant drum, producing a dull sound, and the stone on the drum immediately rose into the air, then hovered there.

The talking parrot perched on the old judge's shoulder immediately flew up to take the measurement.

The parrot was a spirit bird, not only capable of speaking human language but also able to measure the precise height.

Upon descending, the parrot croaked, "Ninety-five meters, ninety-five meters, **unqualified, unqualified!**"

The student's face turned pale with disappointment, almost on the verge of tears.

The other students, seeing this, began to worry secretly. They were all at the Fourth Level of Martial Body, just like that student, and were likely to fail as well.

Among the new students, only a few had reached the Fifth Level of Martial Body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sounds of drum beats echoed continuously as batches of students tested the strength of their inner energy. After testing over a dozen, only half passed.

Suddenly, a loud boom rang out, and the special stone on the giant drum soared high into the air, definitely exceeding a hundred meters.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the person was at the Fifth Level of Martial Body.

"Eight hundred meters, eight hundred meters!" the spirit bird parrot announced after flying down.

This made many of the new students envious!

Many students at the Fourth Level of Martial Body could barely reach a hundred meters. It was evident that the strength of inner energy at the Fifth Level was significantly stronger than at the Fourth Level.

"It's Jiang Lang's turn!" someone suddenly exclaimed.

Jiang Lang was at the Sixth Level of Martial Body, so his inner energy strength was definitely not weak. Everyone was eagerly anticipating how strong he would be.
