Chapter 28 Top-Tier Strength [Detection Subject's Spirit Rank Judgment: Rank Zero]...
Registration area for the exchange meeting.
The staff members wore smiles and maintained their enthusiasm for their work, even after welcoming many organizations.
Check-in only requires facial recognition; a group of people successfully authenticated after scanning.
"The applicants for binding to participate in the meeting are from the Gongrong Group and Group 111. Please confirm here. After confirmation, it will show that the team has been successfully formed."
The Co-Prosperity Sphere team responded first, "Okay."
Chu Jue glanced at it and saw nothing more than statements like "following the principle of voluntary team formation" and "not responsible for any accidents." Since he was already at the scene, he naturally clicked to confirm the team formation.
The staff member continued, "Please come here to determine the spiritual rank of the participants."
Hmm? We need to determine the spirit rank as well?
Chu Jue became somewhat interested.
Since arriving here, she has constantly heard that some organization or group leader is a high-level spiritualist, but when she actually faces them, she can't sense the legendary high-level.
Chu Jue had always been curious about the standards by which the spirit ranks here were determined. When she fought against those people, she had guessed that it was entirely based on their self-proclaimed ranks.
Upon learning that there was an official calculation method, Chu Jue wondered what his spiritual rank was.
She lagged behind, observing the movements of the two thousand.
After standing facing the pillar, Erqian touched the target tool with his palm and held it for about ten seconds before putting it down.
The machine took two seconds to detect the object, and the screen displayed that the object's spiritual level was determined to be fourth level.
Yun Qiandu whispered in her ear, "His spirit rank has actually improved again. I remember it was only level three before."
"And you?" Chu Jue asked.
Yun Qiandu thought for a moment: "I should be at the third rank."
The remaining members of the Co-prosperity Group also made their calculations. Yun Qiandu's level three was neither high nor low among the group, while most of the other women and men were at level two or three.
Zhu Xi, being a martial artist but not a spiritualist, did not participate in the testing.
When it was the turn of group 111, Yun Qiandu stepped forward, but the result was beyond her expectations—she had also grown to the fourth level.
"Wow...when did this happen..." Yun Qiandu was still incredulous.
"Didn't you feel it yourself?"
"It seems a little bit, but I didn't dare to think about it." Yun Qiandu said with some pride, thanking the teachers with a happy smile. "It seems our special training has been quite effective. We have to thank Teacher Fang and Teacher Chu for their silent dedication..."
During these three days, the generous teacher Fang Zhiyi took them to her spiritual realm for special training, and Chu Jue also taught them some physical techniques that were extremely suitable for actual combat, just like a teacher.
However, Chu Jue's tutorial was too difficult to learn, and Yun Qiandu had to concentrate fully to keep up with her train of thought and explanation.
She was so exhausted that she looked like a dog, even more so than Teacher Fang. When Teacher Fang found out, he despised her and sent her back to her human form.
Unexpectedly, the special training over the past few days has brought such a big surprise. Yun Qiandu immediately hugged Chu Jue's leg and refused to let go, looking like he was sick, and sat on the ground laughing loudly.
Ying Suixin's test result was Tier 3, the same as her self-assessed Spirit Rank. According to the information Chu Jue had gathered, Tier 3 was already a good Spirit Rank among most Spirit Masters.
Finally, it was Ying Yi's turn. Yun Qiandu couldn't wait: "Go try it, go try it."
Ying Yi glanced at her and granted her wish. Having not conducted this test in a long time, Ying Yi himself was also somewhat curious.
A few seconds later, her spirit rank was displayed on the screen—sixth rank.
"Good heavens." Yun Qiandu murmured. Ying Yi has become so much stronger again. This level is now on par with the Spirit Rank that Zhanji has publicly revealed.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Zhu Xi exclaimed.
Although she had long guessed that Chu Jue's friends would also be powerful spiritualists, she did not expect that some of them were already at the level of being able to serve as leaders of the two major organizations.
...Hmm, now there's only one organization left. The leader of the Co-Prosperity Group is no match for her at all; in this respect, she's completely outclassed... This kind of Spirit Rank is what a leader of a large organization should be at, right?
Zhu Xi mentally belittled the team leader. Ever since she figured things out, she'd found him increasingly picky. If she were willing to stay in the central area, she'd likely be formally approached by those people there…
After all, Zhan Ji, who ranked 20th, has been overtaken by Chu Jue, and Ying Yi's future on the list is already foreseeable.
"Chu Jue, what about you?" Yun Qiandu wanted to give himself a heads-up.
Ying Yi also looked at Chu Jue, and she judged Chu Jue's strength to be far superior to her own.
She has now reached the sixth rank, while the top-ranked spiritualist currently on the list is only close to the ninth rank. Although it is more difficult to cross between ranks, Chu Jue's strength is unfathomable.
What tier of strength would it be to crush a T-level opponent like that?
Chu Jue shook his head: "I don't know."
Ying Suixin had been eagerly anticipating this moment, and finally it arrived. Her eyes lit up as she shouted, "Go for it! Boss, hurry up!"
Chu Jue: ...
Record a good idiom anytime, anywhere.
Zhu Xi's heart raced as Chu Jue placed his hand on hers, wondering about his true spirit level. Just how powerful was this spirit who could kill Zhan Ji and cause such a commotion?
After calculation, just how astonishing is her spiritual power?
The progress on the screen showed that the test was in progress. Chu Jue didn't just wait there. Yun Qiandu and Ying Suixin helped her stand next to the screen to wait for a group photo.
Seeing their posture, Cookie couldn't help but feel curious...
Burning gazes fell on the screen, and everyone present waited for the result.
"Here it comes! Here it comes!"
As he called out softly, Chu Jue also looked at the light screen.
It showed a result that surprised everyone:
[Detection Target's Spirit Rank Determination: Rank Zero]
...zero order?
-
"ah??"
Yun Qiandu's questioning voice was deafening, like a frog croaking in a cesspool in the otherwise silent environment.
"What's wrong with this machine? Is it malfunctioning?"
Ying Suixin scratched his bald head in bewilderment, while Ying Yi was unusually stunned. Zhu Xi blinked, wondering if it was just her imagination.
Upon receiving this feedback, the staff immediately initiated a self-check and restarted the program.
After finishing the operation, Yun Qiandu nudged Chu Jue: "Chu Jue, Chu Jue, try again."
Chu Jue repeated the previous process, and the light screen also repeated the previous display—the spirit level of the detected object was determined to be zero.
"No, why?" Yun Qiandu racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out. How could Chu Jue be at the zero level?
Anyone with eyes can tell that her ability is definitely not just at level zero!
Ying Yi looked at the results several times, muttering to himself, "Unbelievable."
Zhu Xi was still in shock, but Ying Suixin reacted the fastest and stepped forward to comfort her:
"Boss, it's alright. Although you're only at level zero, everyone knows that zero is the largest number. The number of zeros after a number determines how big the number is! Your strength is completely boundless in my eyes."
Chu Jue: ...
He's rambling on again.
The only one who seemed to be gloating was Xiaomi. She whispered to Cookie, "No way, she's that bad. After all that buildup, I thought she was amazing. How come she's the worst in their organization?"
Cookie didn't know how to respond.
She was one of the people who thought the result was too strange; she and her team leader had witnessed Chu Jue's oppressive aura that day.
Could it be that the pressure brought by spiritual energy can be a false illusion? Or was Chu Jue not the one who created the pressure that day?
But even Ying Yi, who has the highest spirit rank, shouldn't have such an overwhelming sense of oppression...
Chu Jue could hear Xiao Mi's whispers and also noticed that Liang Qian was deep in thought as he looked at the result.
But she didn't care what they thought; instead, she asked the staff if they had ever asked such a question before.
“It should never have happened before,” the staff member recalled. “This is the first time the testing instrument has detected level zero… If a non-spiritual person were to perform the test, it shouldn’t show up at all.”
She called over a non-spiritual colleague to demonstrate, and sure enough, the spirit rank was not displayed on the screen. Zhu Xi also stepped forward to test it, and it was the same situation—no spirit rank was displayed.
"That's strange," the staff member wondered.
“In that case, let’s register it as Rank Zero directly,” Chu Jue said.
As for why it was level zero... Chu Jue could only guess for the time being that he had indeed not "cultivated his spirit," which was why he was given such a result.
Although she transformed spiritual energy, it still doesn't count as "spiritual cultivation".
This machine probably can't detect mental strength.
"This is the only way."
The staff member sighed and secretly called over a colleague from the maintenance department to test the instrument.
During the exchange meeting, this thing must not have any problems. Only after undergoing spiritual energy testing can the groups be fairly matched.
With Chu Jue at level zero, according to the rules of the sparring tournament, the system will automatically match her with a contestant of lower spirit rank... Although we don't know how strong she is, level zero is still too advanced.
Fortunately, this year's competition is a team-based tournament, and the system will divide the teams based on their Spirit Rank. Their team has Ying Yi, who elevates the overall level, so they won't be assigned opponents who are too low-ranking.
The staff member tried to comfort himself, but put on a forced smile and directed them to their rooms in the rest center.
"The rooms provided during the exchange have been automatically assigned by the system, and the information will be sent to your linked personal device. Subsequent progress will also be updated in real time. We wish you a fruitful experience at this Spiritual Power Exchange."
Ying Yi politely replied, "Thank you."
"Let's go back and rest."
Yun Qiandu stopped worrying about whether it was zero or not, since Chu Jue's strength wouldn't change based on that assessment anyway.
Moreover, those fallacies about following one's heart actually seem to make a lot of sense.
Ying Suixin had long forgotten about what happened before: "I want to sleep with the boss..."
Chu Jue: "They are all single rooms."
Ying Suixin suddenly burst into fake tears: "Are the conditions in the central area really this good? I thought the event would provide a four-person room." Then they could sleep together.
Dormitory activities can deepen relationships.
"Maybe they're afraid of internal strife," Ying Yi said. "It's not suitable to install surveillance cameras in the room. If someone causes a scene at the conference and then stabs someone in the room to death during a break, there's a chance that could happen."
But that's just talk. Even if someone dies, the organizers of the exchange won't take responsibility.
“Yes,” Yun Qiandu hinted, “but I still want to sneak into your room.”
Ying Yi: "Good night, see you tomorrow."
Yun Qiandu also burst into fake crying.
Chu Jue smiled and said, "Good night, see you tomorrow."
