Chapter 284 Testing Aptitude

After the meal, Hua Yang said eagerly, "Caesar, why don't you hurry up and test your precious great-grandson's aptitude? Let your old friend see what he's made of and be happy for you!"

When he was helping his old friend choose clothes before, he had already gotten information out of him. Caesar implied that his precious great-grandson was exceptionally talented, so he couldn't wait to see him.

Having known each other for decades, Caesar naturally trusted Hua Yang and was willing to share good news with him.

He turned to look at the left fan: "Let Achen do a precise test."

"What is precision testing?" Zuo Shan asked, puzzled.

"Miss Zuo, the so-called precision test is like this: two hundred years ago, our ancestors from the four major families accidentally entered a mountain stream during a battle against a beast tide."

Beneath a waterfall, a stone containing immense energy was discovered. The ancestors of four families fought over the stone, and accidentally shattered it.

Then everyone grabbed a large piece of it, and only after taking it back did they discover that the stone had a peculiar function: as long as you hit it with all your might, it could accurately identify your type and level of superpower.

For example, when a fire-type ability user attacks it, red water ripples will appear on the surface of the stone. A first-level ability user will only have one water ripple, while second, third, fourth, and fifth levels will have two, three, four, and five water ripples respectively.

Furthermore, even among abilities of the same level, the thickness and length of the water waves will vary depending on the strength of the ability and the duration of the attack.

It can even detect some special abilities, such as light and dark abilities, that official testing instruments cannot detect.

In short, its testing of supernatural abilities is extremely precise, and the families that obtain it regard it as a family treasure, which can only be used by members of the family.

"Because this stone is so spiritual, our ancestors named it the Spirit-Testing Stone," Evan quickly explained.

"There are such amazing stones in the world? Can I finally see them today?" Zuo Shan smiled somewhat reluctantly.

In the cultivation novels she had read before, weren't spirit-testing stones just tools used by cultivation sects to test spiritual roots?

Is this really just a coincidence?

Seeing that she seemed a little dazed, Caesar assumed she also wanted to try, so he generously said, "Since you've all arrived, why don't you all take the test together?"

"Eh? Won't using it too many times cause any wear and tear?" Zuo Shan was a little embarrassed, after all, she wasn't a member of the Lan Dun family.

"Don't worry, it absorbs all the energy of every attack it receives, which is actually nourishing for it."

"Unless a ninth-tier expert unleashes a full-force attack, it might be possible to shatter it directly. However, those participating in the test are usually below the sixth tier, and they simply don't have the ability to destroy it," Evan said with a smile.

The group followed Caesar into a large, empty room. In the center of the room was a metal frame with a smooth, transparent stone inlaid on it.

The stone is irregularly shaped, but its edges have long been smoothed out. The one from Lan Dun's house looks a bit like a little chick.

"Can such a simple stone really have such magical properties?" Ah Chen asked with great interest.

Children have a strong curiosity about new things, and when they see the spirit-testing stone, they can't help but be eager to try it out.

"Why don't you try it and see?" Caesar laughed.

Without any hesitation, Ah Chen walked over and stood in a spot that had been stepped on and was slightly dented. He concentrated and used all his strength to unleash a burst of supernatural power at the stone.

Soon, a ripple appeared beneath the colorless and transparent spirit-testing stone; its color was transparent.

As the energy of the superpower was gradually absorbed, the water ripples, which started as a shallow, thin line, slowly transformed into a thick, richly colored line.

Then a second ripple appeared, followed by a third, and a fourth!

Hua Yang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "My God! This child actually has a fourth-tier mental ability! Wait, something's not right! Why is there an extra ring of light gray around each ripple? Could this be... a precognitive ability?"

Good heavens! Caesar, your great-grandson has dual superpowers?

Good heavens! Your Landun family, no, the entire Northern Hemisphere, no, our entire Green Algae Star, is about to welcome an extraordinary prodigy!
