Chapter 181 Ranking Test
An ancient-style pavilion stood in front of Lu Yu.
The pavilion was made of top-quality wood and was built using mortise and tenon structures.
There were also many other ancient-style buildings in their surroundings, and the vermilion-colored walls were eye-catching.
In the middle of the pavilion, there was a strange and complex array formation on the ground. The array formation pattern and structure were intricate, and it was challenging to replicate with just one look.
Around the array formation, there were four upright pillars. These four stone pillars were also carved with strange and complicated patterns.
Some patterns resembled ancient divine beasts, and every carving was lifelike. Lu Yu could only feel deep admiration for this kind of skill.
The two stood in front of the pavilion. Lin Kang pointed at the array formation and introduced, “Standing in the middle of that array formation, you can complete the ranking test of your strength. It’s a fast process.”
Lu Yu nodded and stared at the formation curiously. “Such a complicated formation; I think only a five-star array mage could make it, right?”

Lin Kang shrugged. “I think it’s more than that. Otherwise, Clanorth University should have built a few more locations to test our strength.”
This complicated formation was indeed very difficult to build.
Lu Yu had set up a few formations before, but those formations were nothing compared to this.
In terms of details, this array blew all his previous arrays out of the water.
Lu Yu opened his Eye of the Dragon God and recorded this array.
With the help of the Eye of the Dragon God, Lu Yu should be able to duplicate this array slowly.
However, his mana was probably insufficient even if Lu Yu could duplicate the test array.
The higher the array level, the more mana was needed. Even if Lu Yu could duplicate it, it was difficult to succeed because his mana was insufficient.
However, if he could break through the upper limit of his mana points in the future, he could duplicate this array formation.
However, the four pillars around Lu Yu give him a headache.
The pillars’ materials and the complex carving’s difficulty prevented Lu Yu from completing the array formation if he attempted to duplicate it.
“Let’s go in and test it out. Let’s see what our rank is.”
Lu Yu walked into the pavilion and stopped thinking about duplicating the array formation.
This kind of array formation was not something that one person could do. At least four or five mages had to participate in building and completing boss-level missions to get the materials to make it.
Lu Yu walked into the pavilion, and the group of fans behind him followed.
When they learned that Lu Yu was here to test his strength, they followed closely behind, afraid they would miss something.
They all wanted to see what rank Lu Yu’s strength was. So each of them carefully poked their heads in and took notes on their phones.
“What do you guys think Lu Yu’s current overall strength rating is?”
“It’s hard to say. His performances in the past are complicated. Although he’s a freshman, he broke the historical record and could even produce a 5-star potion.”
“Indeed, there was no reference at all. He would be a black iron if it were any other normal freshman.”
“Lu Yu is at the very least a silver. It’s impossible for him to be a bronze.”
“That’s right. I bet that he’s silver.”
“Didn’t the president of the Martial Arts Club, Liu Ye, also come to test yesterday? He seems to have broken through to gold rank 2.”
Yes, he is the top student at our university. Isn’t it normal for him to have such strength?”
“That’s right. He is number one, so he should have such strength. As for Lu Yu, since he can be ranked in the top five, he should be able to be at silver rank 7-9.”
Everyone analyzed and felt that they had guessed Lu Yu’s ranking.
At that moment, Lin Kang was the first to enter the array’s center. He planned to determine his first.
Four array mages stood behind the four stone pillars and began to release their mana points.
An invisible power surged into the four stone pillars, causing the patterns carved on the stone pillars to emit a bright light.
The four energy waves flowed along the stone pillars and into the array under their feet.
The intricate patterns of the formation emitted a dim light, and the light gradually got brighter.
Soon, the entire array lit up, and a ripple of energy released and circulated throughout Lin Kang’s body.
His attributes, skills he had learned, and equipment were all scanned.
Not only that, but even his muscles, body structure, and muscle memory carved into his muscles were all inspected.
When all the tests were combined, it would determine Lin Kang’s overall strength!
Light waves surged into Lin Kang’s body and then emerged.
The energy of the formation gradually dissipated after being repeated for some time.
Lin Kang stood where he was and closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes in his body. He felt as if his entire body was being examined.
The light emitted by the array gradually converged and finally condensed into a corner of the array.
Lu Yu looked carefully and found a copper-character pattern in the array.
At that moment, this pattern was emitting light.
However, the light was very subtle. It was only one-tenth of the overall pattern that was emitting light.
Seeing this, the four array mages announced loudly, “Lin Kang. Your overall strength rating is at bronze rank 1!”
The surrounding crowd nodded slightly after hearing this news. This ranking was quite good for a freshman.
Among the freshmen, he could be ranked in the top 30.
Lin Kang walked out of the array and came to Lu Yu’s side.
“Boss, my comprehensive strength is bronze rank 1!”
“Yup, it’s not bad. The other members of our Featherwing Club are probably all black iron. You are considered quite strong to be ranked bronze rank 1.”
Lu Yu said, and he continued looking at the array’s center. Next, it was time for him to go up and test it out.
Lu Yu felt a little curious. Could this test be really comprehensive?
For example, could it also detect battle experience?
Although Lu Yu had doubts in his heart, he still walked into the array.
Lu Yu’s walking attracted the attention of countless people. They carefully stared at Lu Yu’s back and looked at Lu Yu with anticipation.
“Lu Yu is going to take the test. I’m really looking forward to it.”
“I wonder what his strength is. I think it should be silver 9.”
“Hehe, you didn’t watch the entire live broadcast, right? He defeated Wang Meng.”
“Ah, is that so? Wang Meng is already silver 10. Doesn’t that mean that Lu Yu is already at gold?”
“Damn, he can’t be stronger than Liu Ye, right? Liu Ye’s a senior.”
“That’s true. He’s a senior, and he’s the strongest in the university. If Lu Yu, a new student, could surpass Liu Ye right from the start and ascend to number one, that would be too ridiculous!”
Everyone looked at Lu Yu with anticipation, nervousness, and curiosity about Lu Yu’s true strength.
