As for his explosive power, he had a vague sense in his heart that it was around 800 catties.
At the mid-stage of Enter Martial Realm, having such explosive power could already be considered excellent.
However, this was compared to the young martial artists who participated in the examination in Cloud Water County.
Some time later, the test officially ended.
In the end, Lu Yun chose not to participate in the test. He had already gained enough experience previously and did not want to continue to stand out.
Of course, it was not without the reason that the final test had no rewards at all.
The end of the strength test signified the end of the examination.
At the beginning, there were more than 1,300 martial artists participating in the test. In the end, only 105 people persisted until the end.
Among these 105 people, there were two with Level 5 Innate Talent, thirteen with Level 4 Innate Talent, fifty with Level 3 Innate Talent, and forty with Level 2 Innate Talent.
Out of them, only twenty-six were not formal Martial Artists.
However, they were all just one step away from entering the Martial Realm, just lacking an opportunity to break through.
“Everyone, you are all very fortunate to have passed the final examination and become members of the Martial Academy.”
Meng Hongfei glanced at everyone. “In three days, gather here again and accompany me to the Martial Academy.”
Three days later?
Everyone was surprised.
“Every time new disciples are examined by the Martial Academy, they will send the Black Boat one by one to each county to pick up new disciples. Cloud Water County is the last stop, so we have to wait for three days.”
After Meng Hongfei explained, he added: “No matter what happens, do not be absent. Otherwise, it will be considered as giving up becoming a disciple of the Martial Academy.”
“Alright, everyone may leave now!”
Meng Hongfei waved his sleeves and walked towards Lin Chen and Jiang Hongji.
“How was it? Were there any good candidates?” Lin Chen seemed to get along well with Jiang Hongji, as he asked cheerfully after seeing Meng Hongfei.
“Not bad, there were two with Level 5 Innate Talent. They can obtain a good amount of Contribution Points after returning.”
“Oh, well that’s double happiness.”
After making some casual pleasantries, Lin Chen, Meng Hongfei, and Jiang Hongji left the central square.
“Old Village Head, we are sorry that we didn’t pass the examination. We have disappointed you.” Lu Tianhu and Lu Liangpeng hung their heads, not daring to look into Lu Cangsheng’s wise eyes.
Lu Cangsheng shook his head slightly, a loving smile appearing on his face: “Children, success or failure is not important, what’s important is whether you have worked hard and tried your best.”
For Spirit Creek Village to produce a Martial Academy disciple was already a great honor, let alone that Lu Yun was a Level 5 Innate Talent, which could be considered as a top-level genius even within the Martial Academy.
After some polite conversation, Lu Cang proposed: “Let’s go back and prepare a feast to celebrate Lu Yun’s success.”
Lu Cangsheng naturally agreed to the proposal.
“It is indeed worth celebrating.”
When the Old Village Head spoke up, everyone found a restaurant and ordered a table of delicacies.
During the feast, Lu Langping shared his desire to join the army, receiving everyone’s approval.
Young people need to dare to think and dare to venture. Only in this way can they not waste their youth.
When asked about Lu Tianhu, he said earnestly, “1 have always had a dream that the people of Spirit Creek Village will be free from disasters and difficulties. So, 1 want to go back and join the hunting team to contribute to the village’s defense.”
Upon hearing Lu Tianhu’s words, everyone fell silent.
Especially when Lu Langping thought about his previous prejudices against Lu Tianhu, he suddenly felt ashamed.
Time flew by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
At the central square of Cloud Water County.
Many black-armored guards were present, preventing anyone from approaching the square.
“Lu Yun, even if you enter the Martial Academy, 1 will not give up chasing after your footsteps.”
Lu Liangpeng’s eyes sparkled as he said solemnly. Foll𝑜ow current novÊls on nov3lb((in).(com)
Lu Yun nodded with a smile: “Alright, 1 wish you great progress in Martial Arts!”
He then looked at Lu Tianhu and laughed: “I also wish you great progress in
Martial Arts.”
Lu Tianhu waved his hand and said slowly, “Take good care of yourself.”
“Lu Yun, after entering the Martial Academy, remember your initial identity. You are from Spirit Creek Village. No matter how much you grow in the future, don’t forget your roots are in Spirit Creek Village.”
At their farewell, Lu Cangsheng spoke with deep meaning.
“Village Head, rest assured.”
Lu Yun responded, resolutely turned around and walked towards the square.
At this moment, more than a hundred spirited young boys and girls gathered in the square.
“Hmph, just because you have a little talent, you made all of us wait for you together?” A cold and mocking voice came.
Whoosh!
Lu Yun’s eyes shot out two glimmers of light, looking towards the person who spoke, and found that it was the impressive Mu Qingyun.
Why impressive? Because compared to the other people’s faces, Mu Qingyun was one of the only two people that Lu Yun remembered by name and appearance.
As for the other one, it was the swordsmanship genius, Xiao Chen.
At this moment, Xiao Chen had an expressionless face and stood with his hands behind him. There were no people around him, and his eyes calmly looked at the distant sky, seemingly uninterested in anything else.
“A jumping clown!” Lu Yun snorted coldly, ignored the other party, and walked towards an empty corner.
“You…” Hearing Lu Yun’s mockery, Mu Qingyun’s eyes were filled with anger and fire.
“Lu Yun, don’t be arrogant. Innate talent doesn’t represent real strength. Now 1 could defeat you with just one move.” Mu Qingyun said angrily and loudly.
He hated Lu Yun’s behavior of not putting him in his eyes. For the always proud him, this was undoubtedly a trampling on his dignity and a grave insult.
Whoosh!
As Mu Qingyun’s words fell, everyone else looked on with a spectating expression.
Many people were extremely curious about Lu Yun, the ‘second genius’ of Cloud Water County.
After all, they were idle at the moment, and it would be great if they could witness his strength.
However, they were disappointed.
Lu Yun simply ignored them and, like Xiao Chen, stared into the distant horizon.
Rumbling!
At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared in the far sky and quickly enlarged. Soon the whole sky suddenly darkened, and an enormous, spectacular ship broke through the clouds and hovered several meters above the ground, covering the sun.
“How magnificent!” Lu Yun’s heart trembled.
It was his first time seeing such a huge flying ship, and its scale and grandeur were not much different from the aircraft carriers of Blue Star in his previous life.
“I’ve heard that not only does this Black Boat have a large carrying capacity and incredibly fast speed, but it’s also a strategic resource. Ordinary people and families are not allowed to manufacture and use it.” One of the young men seemed quite knowledgeable about it and looked envious.
“If I could have a Black Boat like this, wouldn’t I be free to soar in the vast world?” Lu Yun thought to himself.
However, he only thought about it. If he really had such a Black Boat, what he would do first is exchange it for various heavenly treasures and spiritual pills, and then convert them into energy points.
“Brother Lin, sorry for keeping you waiting!”
Aboard the Black Boat, Gu Qingfeng in a green robe stood at the bow, looking down and speaking to Lin Chen and the others behind Lu Yun, with a thunderous voice echoing all around.
Around him stood a dozen young men, each with their unique demeanor and temperament.
Behind the Black Boat, there were over a thousand young boys and girls, who were now grouped into more than a dozen large groups, and each large group was further divided into smaller groups.
“Haha, Brother Gu, you look great. It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip.” A hearty voice sounded, followed by Lin Chen and Meng Hongfei’s figures sweeping through the air and landing on the Black Boat.
“Brother Lin, you’re joking. I just happened to encounter only two Level 5 ordinary innate talents, not comparable to Yun Bufan who found three Level 5 innate talents in Flowing Wind County, one of which was even a Level 5 top-notch innate talent!”
Although Gu Qingfeng spoke like this, the smile on his face did not diminish.
Recruiting one Level 5 innate talent was considered a great harvest for him, let alone recruiting two.
“Brother Yun has good luck, and we must treat everyone when we return to Martial Academy.” Lin Chen looked at a young man in a blue robe.
This person was Yun Bufan, a genius who, like Lin Chen, entered the Star Palace.
“Definitely, definitely.” Yun Bufan agreed generously.
After that, Lin Chen greeted others one by one.
On the other hand, Meng Hongfei always had a cold face, not fitting in with the friendly atmosphere.
“Everyone, come up!” After the formalities, Lin Chen looked at Lu Yun and the others below and shouted loudly.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The Black Boat was only a few meters above the ground, and the geniuses of Cloud Water County had no problem with that height. They jumped up one after another and landed on the Black Boat.
Seeing the many young people gathered in more than a dozen groups, the geniuses of Cloud Water County naturally formed their own group in a corner.
Lin Chen, Gu Qingfeng, and others smiled slightly, seeing this as nothing unusual.
They had also experienced this scene, but with time, the original groups based on geographical affiliations would gradually disappear.
In Martial Academy, strength is everything..
