Chapter 150: Power Storage Orb

Upon hearing Xiao Yanglong's name, Qin Yun couldn't help but clench his fists tightly; he was Yang Shiyue's fiancé!

Dean Zhang looked around at the wooden houses on the hillside and said, "Most of the people who come here are here for you. They want to see how much you've grown! They all think your martial soul is broken, so they want to see with their own eyes whether your strength has declined."

Everyone knew that in this assessment, all students would give it their all, as it was their last chance.

Therefore, many took this opportunity to gauge Qin Yun's strength, striving to pass the assessment and enter the Star Profound Martial Academy, thus giving their utmost effort in various tests to showcase their abilities!

After Qin Yun returned to the cave, Xie Wufeng noticed a change in his eyes.

"Brother Yun, what's going on outside? You don't seem nervous anymore, full of fighting spirit!" Xie Wufeng smiled slightly.

Qin Yun smiled and said, "Many people have come! My teacher from Hualing Martial Arts Academy is here too. With her watching over me, I'm not nervous anymore!"

In the past, whenever he participated in various competitions and assessments, Yang Shiyue was always there, greatly encouraging him.

Xie Wufeng also knew that Qin Yun's teacher was Yang Shiyue, a very talented woman who had reached the Ninth Level of Martial Body at a young age.

"That's good! You must believe in our own strength; we will definitely pass the assessment."

Qin Yun entered the room, intending to familiarize himself with various martial techniques during this final period, ensuring he could use them effortlessly when needed.

Three days passed, and Murong Daren and Huo Zhong emerged from their rooms.

Learning about many things, a surge of determination filled their hearts, as this was their last chance to enter the Xuan-level Martial Academy.

Qin Yun, as usual, wore black attire, while Xie Wufeng wore white. Murong Daren dressed the best, in a flamboyant and luxurious red outfit.

Huo Zhong, the big man, wore rough linen clothes, thinking they would tear anyway, so there was no need to dress up.

Previously, Dean Bai had told them not to wear light-patterned equipment, so they had put them away.

This assessment would definitely involve combat, though the specifics were unknown, and it certainly wouldn't be easy, as it required teamwork.

"Let's go!" Xie Wufeng walked ahead, confident and composed, showing no signs of being discouraged by his lost arm.

Qin Yun, Huo Zhong, and Murong Daren didn't feel nervous either, walking steadily out of the cave.

Outside, several teams were lined up. There were fewer people than when Qin Yun first arrived, mainly due to the numerous trials and casualties during their expeditions.

Now, ten teams remained, totaling less than two hundred people.

Qin Yun glanced at the hillside, where many exquisite wooden houses were scattered, and people inside were watching the assessment.

Seeing everyone gathered, Dean Bai shouted, "All teams listen up! The first round of testing is about to begin. Only those who pass three rounds can enter the Xuan-level Martial Academy of your choice."

"The first test requires filling a large power storage orb with internal energy within the time of one incense stick burning, and the internal energy within the orb must withstand the test."

"Bring the power storage orb up!"

The power storage orb was huge, over two meters wide, completely transparent, looking like an enormous crystal sphere.

...

On the hillside, in a larger wooden house, there was a very ornate hall where many Ninth Level Martial Body and Martial Dao Realm experts sat.

Yang Shiyue, Duan Qian, and Dean Zhang were also there, along with Master Wei and Duke Yan, among other old ministers of Tian Qin, seemingly intentionally gathered here.

Yang Shiyue, having entered the Eastern Palace of the Blue Spirit Star Palace and become its disciple, wore a deep blue dress, making her look cold and ethereal, exuding a unique aura of spirituality.

She looked at Master Wei, who was approaching, with a cold gaze.

"Miss Yang... Qin Yun was once your student, and you seem to have great confidence in him. How about we make a bet? I bet his team won't pass the first round! Five to one odds, the more you bet, the more I pay." Master Wei chuckled.

Duan Qian, hearing this, laughed, "Master Wei, can I join in this interesting game?"

Dean Zhang laughed heartily, "I'll join too!"

Duke Yan sneered, "For Qin Yun and his team to fill such a large power storage orb within the time of one incense stick burning, it's impossible. You actually believe they can pass this round?"

"I'll bet five thousand purple crystals, all the crystals I have!" Yang Shiyue's voice was cold, filled with confidence. She added with a cold laugh, "If you can't pay five times the amount, I'll cut off your head!"

Master Wei shivered; five thousand purple crystals equaled five million crystals. If he lost, he'd have to pay twenty-five million!

He immediately agreed, "Alright!"

He refused Duan Qian and Dean Zhang's participation, knowing he could afford to lose to Yang Shiyue alone, but not if Duan Qian and Dean Zhang joined in.

Yang Shiyue handed over five thousand purple crystals to Master Wei, saying coldly, "Hold onto them well!"

Duke Yan, seeing this, laughed, "Master Wei, congratulations on your windfall!"

Duan Qian laughed, "Duke Yan, how about we play a game?"

"Sure, why not? Five to one, how much do you want to bet?" Duke Yan also wanted to make a profit, noticing that Duan Qian and others had blind faith in Qin Yun.

Especially Yang Shiyue, who didn't even think twice before betting five million crystals!

"I'll bet five thousand purple crystals too!" Duan Qian laughed.

Duke Yan took Duan Qian's purple crystals with a smile, feeling certain this would be his.

Dean Zhang was a bit worried and whispered, "This assessment is very disadvantageous for Qin Yun's team. Other teams have over ten members, while Qin Yun's team only has four. Filling such a large power storage orb within the time of one incense stick burning is indeed difficult, even for four Seventh Level Martial Body practitioners."

Master Wei laughed, "That's why I'm sure to win! Qin Yun is a single spirit vein, Xie Wufeng is a double spirit vein. Their small team is destined to fail this assessment."

At this moment, the large crystal orbs were brought up and placed in front of each team.

Xie Wufeng, worried about foul play, picked one himself to set his mind at ease.

The captain of one team laughed loudly and mocked, "Even with two incense sticks' time, you won't be able to fill the power orbs. Just give up!"

Xie Wufeng and Qin Yun remained calm, while Huo Zhong and Murong Daren, though finding it difficult, had faith in their own abilities.

In the Martial Arts Field, ten large crystal orbs, each two meters wide, were lined up in a row, with students surrounding each orb, awaiting the start of this round of the assessment.

After Dean Bai lit an incense stick, he announced the beginning of the first round of the assessment!
