Fortunately, Ye Xiruo, who was given away as a free gift with a phone top-up, had her senior brother and Yingxun as references, which gave her a sense of proportion and a clear understanding of what level she should go to.
They're just here to make a living and don't want to get involved in any conflicts.
Ye Xiruo touched the black stone and began to release her spiritual power. She stopped after releasing about a third of it, but what was with the blinding light emanating from the black stone? Ye Xiruo immediately made a face like she had eaten shit. Could this broken stone be broken?
The two old men who were conducting the tests immediately broke into broad smiles, their faces beaming with joy. The sun was shining brightly today, giving them the privilege of meeting these three geniuses.
The three of them were all young, none more than twenty years old, but their level of mental strength was truly astonishing.
Although Ye Xiruo's test results weren't as monstrous as her senior brother's, they were about the same, and a bit brighter than Ying Xun's.
"Congratulations to the three of you for passing our first round of testing. Next, we will test your mental strength and agility."
"Old Ge, isn't it over after the level test? Why do we need to do another test?"
"Are you stupid? Don't you want to know the more precise results? If not, you can still leave now."
"Old Ge, you're really too insidious."
"These three young people are so outstanding, they are comparable to me when I was young."
"Stop patting yourself on the back. Even the weakest one of them is much stronger than you."
"Old Wang, are you deliberately trying to go against me?"
"Hmph, stop dawdling and hurry up with the test. Don't keep the little ones waiting, or they might change their minds."
"Yes, yes, you're right. Let's go test it right away."
What appeared before Ye Xiruo and the others was a black box, made of some unknown material, which was able to block the detection and penetration of spiritual power, so they had no idea what was inside.
Zishu was the first to step forward, as usual: "Let me go first."
"There's a small hole here. Release your mental energy into it, and gravity balls will fall down. You need to use your mental energy to catch the gravity balls. The more you catch, the better your score. Is there anything else you don't understand?"
"Yes, should you catch the ball and then throw it down, or catch it and then go catch more balls?"
“Of course, you catch the ball first and then go catch the other balls,” Ye Xiruo said.
"Good, please do your best, as this is related to the treatment and resources you will receive."
"It's related to money now!" Zishu's eyes lit up immediately. "Junior Sister, I'm going now."
Zishu stood in front of the black box, divided his spiritual power into a stream, and entered the box. The black ball quickly fell down. Zishu transformed his spiritual power into the form of Taishang, and released the rest of his spiritual power to continuously reinforce Taishang.
The scene inside suddenly changed to black balls falling continuously from the sky. The Supreme Being, formed from Zishu's spiritual power, moved rapidly like a large iron pot, catching the balls that kept falling from above.
At first, Zishu didn't feel any pressure; he just treated it as fun. The number of balls in Taishang also increased.
After thirty balls, Zishu's expression changed; this ball was just too heavy.
Supporting an ever-increasing number of balls is a huge drain on mental energy. And then there's the added pressure of controlling Tai to catch even more balls; sweat is starting to bead on Zishu's forehead.
"Go for it, senior brother! You'll definitely be fine."
“I believe him,” Yingxun seemed to say as well.
As the number one young person in the Taiyan Continent, this test should not be difficult for Zishu.
Zishu continued to channel his spiritual energy to reinforce Taishang, gritting his teeth and persevering. He was going all out for the spirit crystals.
The two old men in charge of the test couldn't help but look at the number of groups with new respect. It had been almost half an hour, and Zishu's ability to persist for so long had exceeded their expectations.
"Go for it, senior brother!"
The gravity within me is increasing, my movement speed is slowing down, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to control the sub-books.
Has he reached his limit? Zishu gave a wry smile and continued catching the gravity ball.
Five minutes later, several cracks appeared on the cauldron, and the cracks continued to widen. This was bad; the cauldron was about to break. Zishu's own spiritual energy was already greatly depleted, and these cracks were simply not enough to close.
Never mind, keep catching the ball.
The cracks in the Supreme Being grew larger and larger, and Zishu could hear the continuous cracking sounds. Finally, after ten minutes, the Supreme Being shattered completely, transforming back into spiritual energy, which Zishu then retrieved.
It's finally over.
Old Ge glanced at the result, rubbed his eyes, and thought he must be seeing things.
Old Wang shoved Old Ge aside, craned his neck, glanced at him, and his eyes immediately lit up with a green light: "Young man, you're very outstanding."
"You flatter me, senior."
"Not bad, not bad, one hundred and thirty-eight gravity balls, almost broke the record."
"What's your record?" Aren't records meant to be broken?
"Young lady, don't be too ambitious. The highest record is 155, which has been held for 30 years. No one has been able to break this record."
"I'll give it a try. If I break the record, I hope my treatment will be upgraded."
"That's natural." What does breaking the record prove? A genius! Who doesn't like a genius? Who wouldn't go to great lengths to recruit them, offering resources and rewards, and naturally, they'd keep improving them.
However, Ye Xiruo was simply too young, and neither Old Man Ge nor Old Man Wang believed she could break the record. Of the three, Zishu's test results were more than satisfactory; they were determined to find a way to keep this young man at Youran Residence.
Ye Xiruo stood outside the black box, released her mental energy, and entered the black box. The black gravity ball immediately roared down.
Ye Xiruo tried to catch one. What material was this thing made of? Why was it so heavy? This test was about the strength of mental power. Using a thin layer of mental power to support this gravity ball, she wondered who came up with this idea.
Ye Xiruo quickly divided her spiritual power into countless fine threads, rapidly weaving them into a tight blanket.
At least eight gravity balls fall from above each time. Ye Xiruo's blanket unfolds and, after catching the eight gravity balls, immediately transforms into a pocket, enclosing them within.
Then it's time to catch the ball in the next round. Because of the blanket's elasticity and flexibility, Ye Xiruo is able to catch all the balls falling from above and put them into her own bundle.
It must be said that Zishu and Yexi Ruo's methods are remarkably similar.
