But even so, it was already quite astonishing.
It was at this mont that all the Cultivators finally demonstrated how they were fundantally different from ordinary people... The very Anomalies manifested by their Spiritual Power were a representation of the Extraordinary.
Of course, there was one test-taker from Hai State whose Spiritual Qi didn’t exhibit such a conspicuous nature. Even under the Spirit-Guiding Device, which functioned like a searchlight, his Spiritual Qi rely grew denser, spreading around him like a fog and covering a radius of over thirty ters... Although it seed to lack any special characteristic, his Spiritual Power was incredibly potent—far more formidable than that of a normal Cultivator!
Or rather, this was the very characteristic of his Spiritual Power.
The characteristics of Spiritual Power weren’t all that complicated. The West categorized them using the Four Great Elents and Ether, while Zhengguo had the Five Elents Theory, the Four Symbols theory, and other classification thods. But in essence, these were all just broad generalizations. Most of the ti, a person wouldn’t even know the true nature of their own Spiritual Power.
If any human were to take up Cultivation, their Spiritual Power would have unique characteristics. So people’s appetites would explode after their Awakening, allowing them to eat ten large als a day—that was a characteristic. Others would find their minds sharpened, enabling them to quickly learn a dozen languages—that was also a characteristic.
"Every talent has its purpose." If one didn’t succeed in combat, they might have a different kind of Talent for Alchemy or talisman drawing. It was just that in the current Extraordinary Realm, for various reasons, only combat-oriented characteristics could be guided into manifestation. Perhaps one day in the future, an instrunt would exist that could directly test a person’s aptitudes, determining their most suitable path in life from the mont they were born.
But whether the creation of such a device would be good or bad, no one could say for sure.
Now, standing in the center of the testing ground and receiving the guidance of the Spirit-Guiding Device, was Shao Qiming.
One could see his white Spiritual Power, under the enhancent of the intense Spiritual Light from the Spirit-Guiding Device, imdiately transform into a warm, white radiance imbued with a strong trace of Life Force—it was practically identical to the glow of a Wisdom Fruit.
This light was determined to possess excellent healing and plant-affinity properties, which imdiately sparked another round of hushed whispers and looks of pleasant surprise among the spectating professors.
No matter the era, Talents related to healing were always the most welco and relatively rare. Especially for exploration and adventure in wilderness areas with inadequate dical facilities, a Physician with their own healing abilities was unquestionably a core requirent for forming a team.
"And it’s not just a healing ability; it also has strong light characteristics..."
A certain academy professor pushed up his glasses, his delight written all over his face. "He’s a great prospect!"
The two prodigies from Zhengyi Academy also underwent the guidance. The female student with the fierce gaze didn’t manifest an Anomaly, but it was obvious that the other students waiting to be tested were growing dizzy, as if their minds had been shaken. This kind of unobservable Soul Talent was, paradoxically, even more astonishing to the audience.
The round-faced boy, on the other hand, had an extrely rare composite attribute. One could see his Spiritual Power constantly shifting and transforming—now wind, now fire, now tal, now Earth, like a kaleidoscope... The Four Symbols and Five Elents revolved in a truly dazzling and colorful display.
Guan Wanjing was in line ahead of Su Zhou. As he was being tested, he glanced back at Su Zhou, only to find him seemingly in a daze, staring at the churning storm clouds overhead. For a mont, the muscular man couldn’t comprehend why Su Zhou would be spacing out at such a serious and exciting ti.
’Wait, no way...’
But as he manifested a powerful Earth Attribute Anomaly—one strong enough to make the earth and stones within a thirty-ter radius shift, rise, and even float in mid-air as if defying gravity—and stepped down to receive praise from his school’s teachers, Guan Wanjing began to vaguely guess what Su Zhou was thinking.
Su Zhou, however, paid no mind to Guan Wanjing’s gaze. He was simply staring at the storm clouds in the sky.
His eyes, capable of seeing through the flow of most Spiritual Power, were discerning the invisible network within the storm clouds.
To put it bluntly, the Spirit-Guiding Device simply gathered the surrounding Spiritual Qi, projected it into a small area, and forcibly enhanced and magnified the Spiritual Power of the Transcendent in question. Its original prototype was a Magical Artifact used to force invisible units to reveal themselves, which was why it looked like a searchlight. After being modified, it beca even better at magnifying the details of the Spiritual Power it shone upon, causing an Anomaly to appear.
Su Zhou, who was already Extraordinary and could create Anomalies on his own, was simply on a completely different level from this device. Coupled with his Body of Perfection that didn’t leak Spiritual Power, he didn’t reveal the nature of his Spiritual Qi under the Spirit-Guiding Device’s light like the other test-takers.
For a mont, the audience watching Central Television was a little confused. They had expected to see Su Zhou—the guy who had brought them several surprises and scares before—surprise them once again.
No one had expected that Su Zhou, under the light of the Spirit-Guiding Device, would appear just like an ordinary person, revealing no characteristics of his Spiritual Qi at all.
But then, they saw Su Zhou seize the opportune mont and raise his hand toward the overcast sky.
KRA-KOOM—a deafening clap of thunder exploded!
At the Hongcheng Testing Ground, the cara, which had been specially reinforced with electromagnetic shielding, took a mont before swiveling upward amidst the excited shouts of the cara crew.
