In the end, Lin City was disappointed.

Whether it was sensing with his mind or probing with his elemental energy, he could not figure out how the testing spirit stones tested his spirit energy. He knew that his cultivation level was too low so he could only give up on probing.

"Lin Cheng, hurry up and circulate your mystical skill!" Suddenly, Bamboo Shoot's shout was heard.

Lin Cheng came back to his senses and turned his head to look, only to discover that everyone was staring at him. Most of them had mocking and disdainful expressions on their faces, but Jing Feiyang had a hint of joy on his face.

He was slightly startled before he understood. These people saw that there was no reaction from the testing stone and thought that his talent was not good. Meanwhile, Jing Feiyang felt that his chance had come.

Shaking his head inwardly, Lin Cheng no longer hesitated and immediately started to channel all of the energy he had absorbed into the stone.

Swish!

In that instant, a blinding white light came out from the Spirit Stone. This white light was so blinding that the crowd subconsciously looked away, not daring to look directly at it.

A smile gradually bloomed on Bamboo Shoot's charming face.

"Little thief, I knew you could!" The young girl thought to herself.

"What a dazzling light!"

"This is …" "What qualifications?"

"White light. This is clearly the lowest level of affinity for Spiritual Energy. But why is it so dazzling?"

The surrounding crowd went into an uproar, and even the teachers present couldn't help but reveal looks of surprise.

Among the testing levels for Spirit Stones, purple was the most common, and red was the worst. As for white light, that was a manifestation of the affinity between spiritual energy and red light. Usually, it was a weak white light that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

They had never heard of such a dazzling white light, let alone seen it with their own eyes.

A blinding white light. What level of affinity was this spiritual energy at?

Just when everyone was astonished, the white light on top of the Spirit Stone suddenly disappeared. It was as if the Spirit Stone was suddenly covered up by something. Not even a trace of light remained as it completely disappeared.

Everyone could not help but be stunned, some even lost in thought for a moment.

Lin City was astonished. What was going on? Why did the white light disappear?

He immediately concentrated his mind to investigate, but the result shocked him. He discovered that the origin energy he poured into the spirit stone crazily gushed out as soon as he poured in, as if it was attracted by a massive whirlpool.

And the source of this vortex … It was actually him!

Black iron block!

Lin City soon discovered that the culprit who caused the disappearance of the white light was actually the black metal piece tied to his chest, the treasure stolen from the Immortal Graveyard by Lu Yuansan!

Lin City could clearly feel the heaven and earth origin energy that the Heaven's Divination technique was fully absorbing. It poured into the stone, but it did not stop for even a moment. In an instant, it rushed towards the black metal block in front of his chest.

"Stop!"

Lin Cheng howled in his heart as he willed the Yuan Qi to flow into the stone again.

However, no matter how hard he tried, that black metal block was like a bottomless pit. It continued to frantically absorb the energy from the spirit stones, making it impossible for him to stop it!

"Ha!"

One of them suddenly sneered, "I thought it was some kind of extraordinary talent, but it turns out it was just a bluff!"

"He really scared me to death!"

"Haha …"

The onlookers burst into laughter. Seeing someone fail the test was much more comfortable for them than seeing a genius appear.

In fact, Zhu Ziyang's stunning performance in the exam made many people sour in their hearts. Now that they had seen Lin City's test, it was only a flash in the pan. There was no reaction from the test, so they immediately let out a long sigh of relief.

"That's more like it! "How can all of them be geniuses?!"

"Even if he's a genius, he wouldn't be a youth like me!"

No matter if it was Lin City's attire or the weapons in his hands, they were all shabby. Many of the people who came to participate in the assessment were from rich and powerful families, and there were even some from noble and royal families.

As for these people, many of them barely passed the test.

If Lin Cheng's performance was too stunning, it would be strange if they felt comfortable in their hearts.

"Shut up!"

Bamboo was angered to the point that her charming face turned red. Her beautiful eyes stared at him and she said, "Loyalty at the mouth, otherwise, it would only make people disgusted!"

Many people were stunned.

This genius girl with a dark blue affinity for spiritual energy was furious, causing them to be unable to help their hearts from bursting out, and their laughter abruptly stopped.

This was a future expert of the Immortal Dao, and even a heavyweight. If he were to offend her now, the consequences wouldn't be too good. Therefore, many people tactfully chose to shut their mouths.

However, there were a few people who were unconvinced and could not help but secretly twitch their mouths. They were not only ridiculing Lin City's good-for-nothing talent, but they were also envious of Zhu Ziquan's amazing talent.

"Trash is trash. No matter how much you try to protect him, it will not change the fact that he is trash!" A voice suddenly sounded from the crowd. The direction of the voice was erratic. It was obvious that someone was deliberately hiding their location and wasn't willing to face Bamboo Shoot directly.

"Humph!"

Then, she turned her head to look at Lin Cheng and said loudly, "Activate your Xuan Skill at full strength, and do as you have done just now!"

However, right now, Lin Cheng's heart was filled with bitter smiles.

However, the problem was that the black iron piece in front of him was like a bottomless pit. He had already pushed the Sky Spill Mysterious Technique to its limit, but the black iron block still didn't stop moving. It was still absorbing the Yuan Qi from the stone.

Lin Chen gritted his teeth and continued to circulate his Mysterious Technique with all his might. He wanted to see how long this black iron piece could last.

At the same time, he also wanted to figure out what exactly this black iron piece was!

This piece of black metal had been with him for several months. Before this, it had not displayed any sort of strange phenomenon. Besides not knowing what material it was made of, it was usually no different from a piece of black iron.

However, when he tested his Spiritual Qi compatibility, the black metal suddenly reacted when the Spirit Stone shined.

Lin Cheng thought to himself, "Don't tell me this thing has a reaction only after coming in contact with the spiritual energy?"

He immediately dismissed the idea.

"That's not right!" "If it's a reaction to Spiritual Qi, then when I used to cultivate with a Spirit Stone, the Spiritual Energy contained within it would be much denser than when I was absorbing Essence Qi alone. Why was there no reaction from the black iron piece at that time?"

Lin Cheng thought quickly in his heart, but his hands didn't stop moving. He continued to pour Essence Qi into the stone.

"Someone reported to me that a genius appeared in this test point?"

At this moment, a clear and cold voice suddenly sounded out. The next moment, a figure flew into the air and landed in the middle of the arena.

He saw a middle-aged beautiful woman around the age of forty. Her hair was tied up in a bun and she wore ordinary clothes. However, it was difficult to conceal her luxurious and arrogant aura.

"Elder Shui!"

"Greetings, Elder Shui!"

When the teachers in charge of the assessment saw this woman, they immediately cupped their fists and bowed.

Elder Shui gave a faint hum of acknowledgement and asked, "I heard that a dark blue genius has appeared at this testing point?"

The teacher in charge of the exam immediately cupped his fists together and said, "Yes, Elder Shui. It's this young lady called Bamboo Hill. Her affinity with spirit energy has reached a deep blue level. She's a genius!"

Elder Shui followed his line of sight and his gaze landed on Bamboo Bend. He sized it up and nodded slightly, "Ugh! "Dark Blue, this is quite rare. You're called Zhu Ziyang, right? Are you willing to acknowledge me as your master and follow me in cultivation?"

"Shua!"

Immediately, the teachers in charge of the assessment couldn't help but reveal envious gazes. They were envious of Zhu Zifu's good luck.

The teacher at the examination point quickly added, "Zhu Ziyang, hurry up and acknowledge me as your teacher. This is Elder Shui, the seventh elder of our East State Academy. He is an expert in the cultivation world, and to be able to become her disciple is a rare opportunity and a great fortune!"

"Hua!"

When his words came out, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar. Everyone was astonished, envious, and even a bit incredulous.

An elder of the East Continent Academy would actually accept a new disciple?

Moreover, this Elder Shuihang was actually an expert who had stepped into the cultivation world. This made many people's heart bleed with envy.

To be accepted by a cultivator was the same as stepping into the door of cultivation. The benefits one would get would be unimaginable!

When everyone's eyes landed on Bamboo Shoot, many of them were slightly startled. Their hearts couldn't help but feel bitter.

They almost forgot that this was a genius with deep blue spiritual energy affinity. It was no wonder that even the elders of the academy were tempted to accept him as a disciple.

However, to everyone's surprise, Bamboo Raise did not say anything. She only stared at Lin City, who was undergoing a test, with a trace of worry on her face.

"Little thief, work harder!" Zhu Zifu shouted in his heart.

"Humph!"

Shui Ani's face darkened when he saw that Zhu Ziyang had ignored his question.

When the teacher in charge of the exam saw this, he immediately took two steps forward and shouted: "The exam is over, Lin City, did not pass, did not pass the exam!"

After which, he took a step forward and prepared to push Lin Cheng away.

"Stop!"

Zhu Zi yelled out in anger, "If you dare to touch him, I will be irreconcilable with you!"

The exam teacher's body froze, and he abruptly stopped walking towards Lin City. Even though Zhu Ziyang's cultivation level was only that of the Otherworldly Demonic Boar, and he was already an expert of the Arterial Circulation Realm, he was still a little afraid of offending Zhu Ziquan.
