C28 First Round

After Lu Xiong retreated and took his seat, the Great Elder walked up to the front of the stage and waved his hand to release a green colored rock that was about ten feet tall in front of everyone on the stage.

After the huge rock appeared, the Head Elder said loudly, "The first stage of the Heavenly Star Academy's disciple recruitment test is a pure fist or palm strength test.

The giant rock that everyone saw was a Strength Measuring Rock that the family had paid a high price to buy.

This Strength Measuring Rock could measure up to 200,000 Jin of strength.

The specific method to use it was to store all of one's strength and hit the Strength Measuring Rock. Martial skills were not allowed to be used during this period of time.

After that, the Strength Measuring Rock would emit a seven-colored ring of light, and the color would be red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple. Each ring of light represented the strength of 10,000 jins.

Next, according to the order in which the deacon called out the names, all of you will step forward and test your strength. The next round will be filled with five rings of light and those who are unable to do so will automatically lose the right to continue participating.

Hearing the introduction given by the Great Elder, the disciples below the stage were all eager to give it a try. However, there were a few who shook their heads in disappointment.

Speaking of which, the threshold of fifty thousand Jin wasn't that high.

A normal late stage Body Refinement Cultivator would have a strength of around 30,000 Jin. Once they entered the Pre-Sky Realm, reaching 40,000 Jin should not be a problem.

With a weight of 50,000 jins, a late Houtian realm martial artist would definitely be able to achieve this.

However, as everyone knows, palm strength is not only your strength, it is also related to your explosive strength and body's endurance.

Strength was relative. No matter how much power a weak person had, they would not be able to fully display it because they could not withstand the powerful rebound.

Under normal circumstances, as long as one's fist and palm strength passed the mark, it would mean that the cultivator's physical fitness had passed the mark and could completely adapt to higher level martial skill cultivation techniques.

It was precisely because of this that many examinations used the strength of one's fist as the first stage.

Moreover, although the Lu family was considered a tyrant in Greencloud City, there weren't that many late Houtian realm masters in the family, especially among the younger generation. At their age, reaching the middle Houtian realm was already an incredible feat.

Moreover, a Xiantian master's strength was not much stronger than a Houtian master. This was because after entering the Xiantian realm, one's origin energy reserves and the quality of the true essence in their body would be enhanced, making the strength of their body almost negligible.

On the stage, after the grand elder had announced all the rules, he returned to his seat and a deacon of the family came up to the stage. He took out a namelist and began to order the disciples to go on stage to take their tests.

One by one, the Lu Family disciples who had been called by name stepped onto the stage and smashed their fist, which was filled with energy, onto the Strength Measuring Rock.

"10,000 jins is not qualified!"

"30,000 jins is not qualified!"

The number of disciples from the Lu family participating this time included almost everyone from the younger generation. Their strength was naturally not the same, and as a result, many people were directly eliminated.

In about two hours, not even a tenth of the participants had passed the exam.

At this moment, a heavyweight appeared on the stage.

"Lu Zhen!"

As the deacon's voice fell, the disciples below began to discuss amongst themselves.

"It's Third Elder's Miss Lu Zhen!"

"The third young mistress is talented, so passing the test won't be a problem!"

"Third Miss is someone who's only second to Eldest Young Master Lu Yi in the family. I'm really curious about just how much power she has."

Amidst the anticipation in the eyes of the disciples, Lu Zhen, who was dressed in a suit, walked out from the crowd. She looked back arrogantly and walked towards the arena.

Arriving at the bottom of the arena, Lu Zhen did not walk up the few steps. Instead, she gracefully jumped onto the high platform, not forgetting to smile proudly at the bottom of the stage.

Amidst all the flattery from the audience, Lu Zhen walked over to the Strength Measuring Rock and began gathering her strength.

"Ya!"

With a shout, Lu Zhen suddenly struck out with her palm, heavily hitting the Strength Measuring Rock.

The Strength Measuring Rock flashed with various colors, and quickly broke through five rings of light before finally stopping at seven.

"70,000 jin, qualified!"

Under the foreman's loud announcement, Lu Zhen walked off the stage complacently.

Indeed, as a young woman, having a pure strength of 70,000 pounds was already something to be proud of. Moreover, Lu Zhen's cultivation was only at the middle Houtian realm. In time, she would definitely have a bigger development.

After Lu Zhen left the stage, the remaining disciples calmly continued their test.

Very quickly, there weren't many disciples left who had yet to take the test.

It was a tall and handsome man. Accompanied by several others, he arrived before Lu Feng.

"Cousin, I heard that after a walk around the Green Cloud Mountain, not only did you not lose your life, you even possessed an extraordinary cultivation base?

What do you think? Are you interested in competing with me? "

The person who came was the son of the Great Elder, Lu Feng's cousin. He was Lu Yi, the younger generation's number one.

Towards this kind of provocation that resembled a tramp, Lu Feng didn't even bat an eyelid.

"Who are you?"

Lu Feng said coldly.

At the side, Lu Lili quickly pulled on Lu Feng's shoulder and said tenderly, "Big brother, this is the Great Elder's young master, Lu Yi, Eldest Young Master Lu."

Lu Feng smiled at her, and continued to speak with an exasperating tone of voice. "Lu Yi? I don't know him!

Lush, let me tell you, not just any cat or dog should be addressed as' Eldest Young Master '! "

"You!"

Lu Yi was extremely annoyed.

Lu Feng ignored him and continued to chat and joke with Lu Loulan.

"Fine, Lu Feng, you have guts!" You don't even recognize this cousin of yours!

Just you wait, I won't show mercy to you in the finals! "

Lu Yi said to Lu Feng with a dark expression.

"Eldest Young Master, you are wrong about that. Maybe our Second Young Master won't even be able to pass the test of strength!"

A henchman beside Lu Yi said in a flattering manner.

"That's right, the title of the second young master's family's trash has been around for a long time. Could it be that after making a trip into the Green Cloud Mountain Range, he has truly been reborn?"

Another henchman said in disdain.

Hearing the words of his two henchmen, Lu Yi's face turned bright. He looked at Lu Feng complacently and said, "Younger cousin Lu Feng, I really hope that I can see your figure in the competition arena.

Unfortunately, you might have let me down!

"Hahaha!"

Laughing loudly, Lu Yi left with his two henchmen.

Facing this level of provocation, in Lu Feng's eyes, it was like a child playing house. It did not affect his mood in the slightest.

However, Lu Feng was still wary of the murderous intent in Lu Yi's words because he had always suspected that the Mystic Beast Speaker he met at the North Mansion that day was related to the Great Elder. In fact, it might even be the Great Elder himself.
