The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 468: Unconcealable Strength!

“Next,” called out the staff member monotonously.

Ling Feng walked forward casually, stopping thirty paces from the bronze bell before launching a punch.

Dong!

The Huanyin Bronze Bell first shook violently before it explosively shattered into pieces, scattering fragments everywhere.

Inside the crystal pillar, a thick black musical note suddenly appeared. The first segment lit up completely, followed by the second, and then the third.

Black light pierced through the crystal pillar and shot straight into the sky.

With a sharp crack, the man-high crystal pillar also shattered, leaving a pile of debris.

Inside the hall, the gathered youths widened their eyes, exclaiming in unison, "What the—!?"

One punch had shattered the bell. What was this guy trying to do?

“Black musical note?”

Ye Guichen, who was in charge of the assessment, shot up from his seat. He had overseen numerous yellow-tier student assessments, but never had he seen anyone trigger a black musical note.

Not just yellow-tier students, even sky-tier students rarely triggered black musical notes!

The Huanyin Bronze Bell assessed not only the level of strength but also the purity of true qi. A black musical note indicated that Ling Feng\'s true qi was condensed to an extraordinary degree.

Ye Guichen was intensely curious about how this boy cultivated to achieve such condensed true qi.

Unbeknownst to him, Ling Feng harbored a Qi-Refining Primordial Lock within his body that constantly compressed his true qi. It was difficult for him not to have such condensed qi.

“Uh...” Ling Feng awkwardly rubbed his nose. “How did it... explode?”

A Central Court student widened his eyes, shaking his head repeatedly. “Did I see it right? He shattered the bronze bell from thirty paces away with a single punch!”

“Shattering the bell is nothing!” Another student swallowed hard. “The key is the black musical note! I heard from my elder brother that a black musical note signifies power surpassing fifty meridians! He clearly threw a casual punch, intending to hide his strength, yet he still triggered a black musical note! My god!”

Instantly, all the students participating in the assessment from the five courts focused their gaze on Ling Feng, as if looking at a monster.

Li Bufan sighed repeatedly. Despite his efforts to surpass Ling Feng, the gap between them was widening.

What a terrifying guy!

Although he felt unwilling, Li Bufan had to admit that he was already left behind by Ling Feng.

However, he would never give up pursuing Ling Feng. The martial path was still long!

In truth, the power behind Ling Feng’s punch was not that strong. It was the highly condensed true qi that caused such a sensational scene. If Jiang Xiaofan and Li Bufan showcased their real strength, shattering the yellow-tier student\'s test bronze bell wouldn\'t be difficult either.

Though Ling Feng\'s action was unintentional, it undoubtedly earned Leng Jianfeng a lot of face.

This guy sat among the instructors of the other courts, his face full of pride, and said, "So, who was it that said our East Court only fools around and is always last place? Stand up!"

"Hmph!"

The instructors from the other courts all turned their heads away. Although they couldn\'t stand Leng Jianfeng\'s smug demeanor, they had nothing to say in return.

At this moment, Ling Feng noticed the dumbfounded staff member and raised an eyebrow while pursing his lips. "So, am I qualified?"

The assessment hall staff member was momentarily stunned but quickly responded, nodding repeatedly. "Qualified, qualified! If this isn\'t considered qualified, then who here can be?"

"This is a height beyond reach!"

"This is a true genius!"

One by one, the students sighed in admiration. In contrast, Cheng Qi, who had been boasting earlier, now seemed no better than a fool with his mere earth-tier level.

Ye Guichen, the academician, walked over from his seat, glanced at Ling Feng, nodded in satisfaction, and smiled slightly. "Ling Feng, my young friend, I didn\'t expect to see you again after half a year and be so shocked!"

"You are... Academician Ye!"

Ling Feng thought for a moment before recalling that this elderly man was the one who had warned him not to approach Yan Cangtian when he first joined Tianwei Academy.

"In just six months, your progress is astonishing. Not selecting you as one of the top ten hidden talents was truly a great loss!" Ye Guichen sighed with emotion.

"Everything happens for a reason. If I had been chosen as a hidden talent, I might not have progressed as much as I have now." Ling Feng smiled faintly. Without meeting Yan Cangtian, he would indeed have struggled to achieve his current progress.

"Well said. ’Everything happens for a reason...’ You, young man, are so young yet already have a mindset that even I, an old man, am surprised of." Ye Guichen nodded and smiled. "You will undoubtedly become a pillar of the empire in the future!"

With that, Ye Guichen turned to the assessment hall staff and said lightly, "Bring another Huanyin Bronze Bell!"

"Yes, sir!"

Before long, a new Huanyin Bronze Bell was installed, and the testing continued.

...

Finally, all the students from the five courts completed their tests. The East Court, which had always been at the bottom, achieved an astounding 85% pass rate this time, even surpassing the Central Court. Such results were truly shocking.

The extraordinary scores of Ling Feng, Li Bufan, and Jiang Xiaofan especially made the instructors from the other courts envious.

Even the chief of the Central Court this year, giving it their all, only managed a sky-tier sixth grade score!

With the first assessment concluded, the second assessment was about to begin.

The instructors of each court received the score records from the assessment hall staff. Leng Jianfeng was no exception.

The Devil Instructor had a face full of joy, but when facing the students, he maintained a stern expression. He tucked the score records into his chest and grunted, "Those who passed the first assessment, follow me."

With that, Leng Jianfeng led the way to the back door of the assessment hall.

The other instructors exchanged glances, sighed, and directed their students to follow. Their expressions were completely different from before the assessment began, now looking as dejected as wilted eggplants.

This was especially true for the instructor from the North Court, who was particularly dismayed. How could the East Court, which had always been at the bottom, suddenly rise?
