Chapter 183 Unexpected Situations
After lunch, led by Jiang Xiaodong, the deacon of the Dongchuan Province Genius Team, the twenty members of the Dongchuan Province Genius Team went to the third floor to line up for a test of their mental talent.
At this moment, people from Xichuan and Yunchuan were already waiting on the third floor.
Dong Qichao, president of the Guannei Province Martial Arts Association, stepped forward and said: "Members of the Eight Provinces Genius Group, next we will conduct a test of mental strength talent."
The students next to me are a team of top students from the Department of Mental Strength at Blue Star University.
Next, our team leader, Wu Tianchen, will give a detailed introduction to the mental strength talent test.
Wu Tianchen stepped forward and said, "In a moment, I will use this special crystal from outer space to test your divine sense talent."
Divine aptitude is divided into different levels, and its most direct manifestation is the reaction of special crystals.
When you place your palm on the surface of a crystal, the crystal will display different colors.
The colors are white, blue, orange, red, and gold. White represents the worst talent? Blue represents average talent, and orange represents good aptitude.
Red signifies exceptional talent, while gold represents one in a million.
However, even among gold talents, there are varying degrees of strength. Sometimes, the difference between gold talents is greater than the difference between red and blue talents.
This can be seen from the crystal's reaction; the pale golden light indicates it has just reached the threshold of golden talent. The most advanced golden talent looks like this.
As Wu Tianchen spoke, he placed his palm directly on the special crystal next to him.
In an instant, the entire third floor of the hotel was bathed in golden light, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.
The golden light lasted only a few seconds before Wu Tianchen removed his hand from the special crystal, and the golden light gradually disappeared.
"Without further ado, let's begin the test."
The scene of dazzling golden light left many members of the genius team completely astonished.
Members of the genius teams from each province lined up, waiting for the mental strength talent test.
"Golden talent, and it even shines with countless rays of light—this person's mental strength talent must be one in a million, right?"
Tang Jiu'er, a member of the Dongchuan Province Genius Team, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon seeing this scene.
Luo Zhixun nodded and said, "Of course, the captain of the student team sent by Blue Star University must be one of Blue Star University's top geniuses."
Tang Jiu'er added, "I don't know what my talent is, but I hope it's not the worst kind of white talent."
"It shouldn't be like that. Didn't Chen Lie just say that people with extremely poor mental strength talent and those with golden talent are probably one in ten thousand?" Luo Zhixun said.
"Him? What could he possibly know?" Tang Jiu'er glanced at Chen Lie, completely unconcerned.
Luo Zhixun smiled slightly and said, "Chen Lie, your spiritual power is so advanced, you must also have a golden talent."
I wonder if it will be like Wu Tianchen, radiating golden light.
Chen Lie shook his head: "No."
His talent for spiritual perception is nowhere near that of a top genius.
While queuing to test his talent, Chen Lie saw a golden light suddenly flash in front of him. The light was bright, but it was much weaker than the thousands of golden lights he had seen earlier.
Immediately, murmurs arose from the surrounding area.
"The commotion ahead seems to have been detected by members of the Yun Chuan Genius Team during their tests of divine sense talent."
"Who in Yun Chuan is this powerful? With such talent in mental power, they could easily become a dedicated spiritual master, right?"
"Wow, that's impressive. It actually emits such a strong golden light. Although we also detected two golden talents in our province, their light is far less intense."
"Zhixun, look, isn't that the movement detected by Shen Miaowei from Yunchuan?"
In the Dongchuan Province team, Tang Jiu'er pointed ahead and said.
"I see. The Shen family of Yunchuan truly lives up to its reputation as a family of Divine Sense Masters." Luo Zhixun nodded slightly.
"However, the golden light she detected was less than half as weak as that of the Blue Star University student named Wu Tianchen from earlier," Tang Jiu'er said.
Gradually, the geniuses from the previous provinces finished their tests, and it was the turn of the geniuses from Dongchuan Province to test their divine sense talents.
At the beginning of the test, two people were found to have red talents. After that, most of them had orange or blue talents. Before long, the Dongchuan Province Genius Team had finished testing half of the people.
Before the testing stone for mental talent was used, a member of the Dongchuan Province Genius Group had already completed the test.
Cui Jinyang, the only one from the Dongchuan Province Genius Team to be shortlisted for the Grandmaster Seeds as a Divine Sense Master, arrived in front of the testing stone.
The two students from Blue Star University glanced at Cui Jinyang: "First, state your province and name, then place your palm on the testing crystal for testing."
"Dongchuan Province, Cui Jinyang."
After Cui Jinyang finished speaking, he walked to the testing stone and placed his palm on it.
Instantly, a faint golden light began to shimmer on the surface of the crystal.
Upon seeing this, Cui Jinyang couldn't help but smile.
At the same time, students from Blue Star University nearby began to record: "Cui Jinyang from Dongchuan Province, Gold Talent, Level Gold Lowest Grade."
"Alright, next!"
Seeing this, Cui Jinyang walked to the side and waited.
Soon it was Chen Lie's turn to be tested.
Before the student from Blue Star University could speak, Chen Lie introduced himself: "Chen Lie, Dongchuan Province."
After reporting the information, Chen Lie stepped forward, went to the testing crystal, and placed his hand on it.
Instantly, a dazzling orange light shone on the crystal.
The students from Blue Star University next to him began to take notes: "Chen Lie from Dongchuan Province, Orange Talent."
Next."
"Orange talent?"
Luo Zhixun, who was behind Chen Lie, was immediately taken aback.
In her opinion, Chen Lie's ability to help her decipher extraterrestrial martial arts must mean he has a gold-level talent, so how could he possibly have an orange-level talent?
This talent is even inferior to that of Cui Jinyang.
Cui Jinyang stood to the side, wanting to see Chen Lie's talent in divine sense.
Now that the results are in, he couldn't help but sneer at Chen Lie.
Seeing that he was always seen with Shen Miaowei, he had initially guessed that Chen Lie was also a mind master, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.
After Chen Lie finished the test, he walked to the side. At this moment, he heard the voices of students from Blue Star University behind him.
"Luo Zhixun from Dongchuan Province, a red talent."
As soon as Luo Zhixun finished the test, she followed Chen Lie.
"Chen Lie, is there something wrong with that extraterrestrial testing crystal? How come it detected an orange-level talent in you?"
Chen Lie turned to look at Luo Zhixun and replied, "It should be fine, I have orange talent."
"How could that be?"
Luo Zhixun found it unbelievable.
In order to decipher the extraterrestrial martial art "Thunderous Tiger and Leopard Body Tempering Technique", she sought help from several divine sense masters, but only Chen Lie successfully helped her decipher it.
You should know that among the spiritual masters she sought help from was a sixth-level spiritual master. Chen Lie could do things that a sixth-level spiritual master couldn't do. How could someone with only an orange talent possibly have such spiritual attainments?
At this moment, Tang Jiu'er also walked over briskly.
"Zhixun, I also tested positive for red talent. It seems we both have the potential to become Divine Sense Masters."
After arriving here, Tang Jiu'er looked at Chen Lie and clicked her tongue, saying, "Hey, I saw you test out an orange talent earlier."
"Your spiritual talent isn't even as high as mine, how did you become a spiritual master?"
Chen Lie said, "Naturally, it was earned through hard work."
Tang Jiu'er pouted: "Stop talking nonsense. If hard work were enough, what would be the point of having geniuses?"
After saying that, Tang Jiu'er said to Luo Zhixun, "Zhixun, you weren't fooled by him, were you?"
"Ji Lingxuan, whose divine sense is equivalent to the Three Rivers Martial Arts, is that all?"
"Jiu'er, how can you talk like that?"
Chen Lie's mastery of mental power is truly remarkable. As for the orange-tier talent he just displayed, there must have been something wrong with that testing stone, right?
"How could a special extraterrestrial crystal possibly malfunction?"
"Even if something really went wrong, why is it that his test was the one that had the problem?" Tang Jiu'er snorted.
She wondered if her talent for mental power was actually quite good, but she simply lacked access to mental power cultivation methods.
Otherwise, she could definitely have become a divine sense master.
About an hour later, all members of the genius team from the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi had completed their tests.
Jiang Xiaodong, the leader of the Dongchuan Province Genius Group, came to the group members and said, "Dear students, we will take the airship back to Dongchuan Province at 6:00 PM today."
There are still three hours left. During this time, you can find talented members from other provinces who are on par with you in martial arts to spar with, especially those from Sichuan and Yunnan provinces.
In the upcoming Three Rivers Martial Arts Tournament, members of the genius teams from these two provinces may become your opponents. Get to know them in advance so you won't be caught off guard when you actually face them.
The venue for the sparring and martial arts competition was on the seventh, eighth, and ninth floors of the hotel.
Okay, everyone can disperse now. Remember to meet in the lobby on the first floor at 5:30 PM.
After Jiang Xiaodong finished speaking, the twenty members of the Dongchuan Province Genius Team dispersed.
Tang Jiu'er said to Luo Zhixun, "Zhixun, shall we go and take a look at the place where the martial arts competition is held?"
I'll also find someone from Sichuan Province to have a competition with.
"Okay." Luo Zhixun nodded, then said to Chen Lie, "Chen Lie, why don't you go and take a look too?"
Chen Lie nodded and said, "Okay, let's go take a look."
With that, the group took the elevator to the seventh floor of the hotel.
In the hotel's seventh-floor lobby, many people were already sparring and exchanging blows in a small sparring area.
Chen Lie walked around the seventh-floor lobby and saw more than ten pairs of members from the Eight Provinces Genius Group who were sparring and competing inside the seventh floor.
Suddenly, a clear, crisp voice rang out.
"Mr. Chen Lie."
Chen Lie turned his head and saw Shen Miaowei calling his name and walking towards him.
Tang Jiu'er and Luo Zhixun, who were standing nearby, exchanged a glance, both feeling puzzled by the relationship between Chen Lie and Shen Miaowei.
After approaching Chen Lie, Shen Miaowei nodded slightly to Luo Zhixun and Tang Jiu'er beside him, and then asked Chen Lie, "Mr. Chen Lie, I was behind you, so why didn't I see the golden light flashing in the third-floor hall when you were testing your divine sense aptitude?"
Before Chen Lie could speak, Tang Jiu'er scoffed and preemptively answered, "Chen Lie's talent test showed an orange-level talent, where did the golden light come from?"
"Um?"
Shen Miaowei felt strange, but she didn't believe Tang Jiu'er's words at all.
A being ranked ninth on the Blue Star Trainee Divine Sense Master list, only had one orange talent detected. Who would believe that?
In her opinion, the golden light of Chen Lie's talent should be much stronger than that of Wu Tianchen to make sense.
"She's right, what I detected is orange-level talent," Chen Lie said.
"oh."
Shen Miaowei nodded, subconsciously assuming that Chen Lie knew some secret method to conceal his talent.
After all, all information about Chen Lie is strictly controlled, and it would be impossible for him to reveal his powerful talent in this kind of setting.
"Mr. Chen Lie, just now, Ji Lingxuan, the martial arts champion of the Yunchuan Province Genius Team, and Yang Tian, the martial arts champion of the Guannei Province Genius Team, had a martial arts exchange."
Yang Tianlai challenged Ji Lingxuan to a martial arts duel in a lecturing tone. However, before they had even exchanged fifty moves, Yang Tianlai was already at a disadvantage and his defeat was obvious. If it weren't for the timely intervention of the deacon in charge of the delegation from Guannei Province, Yang Tianlai would probably have lost to Ji Lingxuan.
Yang Tianlai had reached the pinnacle of Qi and Blood for nearly a year, and was the martial arts champion of the province with the highest guidance index in the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi. The resources he enjoyed were far beyond what Yunnan Province could provide. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by Ji Lingxuan.
"What?! The martial arts champion of Guannei Province was actually defeated by Ji Lingxuan?"
Luo Zhixun was startled upon hearing Shen Miaowei's words.
She knew that Ji Lingxuan, the number one in the Three Rivers region, was a very strong person in the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm, but she didn't expect her to be this strong.
The martial arts index ranking of Guannei Province far surpasses that of Yunchuan.
"Isn't Ji Lingxuan only at the peak of Qi and Blood five months ago?"
"What exactly makes her so strong?" Tang Jiu'er also looked incredulous.
"Mr. Chen Lie is right, Ji Lingxuan is indeed a groundbreaking figure in Yunchuan martial arts."
Shen Miaowei looked at Chen Lie and asked, "I wonder what level Mr. Chen Lie's martial arts have reached? How does it compare to Ji Lingxuan's?"
"Chen Lie can be compared to Ji Lingxuan? That sounds so awkward to me," Tang Jiu'er couldn't help but say.
Shen Miaowei glanced at Tang Jiu'er and felt that the girl's words were too rude.
However, Chen Lie himself didn't say anything, so Shen Miaowei could only pretend she didn't hear it; she couldn't possibly agree with Tang Jiu'er's remarks.
Just then, an alarm suddenly went off on the seventh floor of the hotel.
Immediately afterwards, heavily armed guards suddenly swarmed in from all directions outside the hotel, surrounding the entire seventh-floor lobby.
"Everyone, stay where you are and don't move around."
A voice rang out, and more than twenty fully armed guards patrolled back and forth in the seventh-floor lobby, stopping more than a dozen people who were sparring.
"Students, there has been an emergency at the hotel. We need your cooperation."
"Now, follow my instructions. Ten people at a time, from front to back, take the elevator to the hotel lobby on the first floor."
Under the command of the lead guard, the members of the genius teams from various provinces on the seventh floor went down to the first floor.
Luo Zhixun was puzzled by this solemn situation and asked curiously, "What's going on?"
"Something big must have happened. Can't you hear the hotel alarm going off non-stop?"
These guards should have been stationed outside the hotel, but now they've all gone inside. Could it be that some important person has been assassinated? Shen Miaowei speculated.
