After Xia Caiyan spoke again, Su Chen was leisurely teasing his obedient disciple, while Ruo Ximeng squinted her eyes, looking quite restrained.
Ignoring her, blatantly ignoring her.
Who are you?
Do we even know you?
Judging by the two of them, it was as if they hadn’t even noticed Xia Caiyan at all.
Air doesn’t need attention, after all!
Now, the awkwardness had reached its peak!
What was happening here also drew the attention of everyone around.
Seeing this, many people looked at Xia Caiyan with strange expressions.
As the prodigy of Piaoxue Palace, Xia Caiyan was stunningly beautiful and always the center of attention wherever she went, adored by countless people, like a queen above all.
Who would have thought that this time, she’d run into two people who didn’t care for her at all, completely ignoring her presence.
This made Xia Caiyan both angry and annoyed, as if she had dropped a stone on her own foot.
Originally, she just wanted to use the two of them to suppress Shen Ling, but now all the resentment had shifted to them.
“Hmph!”
Xia Caiyan snorted coldly, stomped her foot, and immediately pushed through the crowd, cutting in line for the test.
She really didn’t want to stay here any longer. She had meant to give Shen Ling a show of force, but ended up making a fool of herself instead.
After cutting in line and standing before the Testing Stele, Xia Caiyan shot a fierce glare at Su Chen and Ruo Ximeng.
Even if these two had ignored her just now, the gap between a renowned prodigy and mere wandering cultivators was not something Su Chen and Ruo Ximeng could ignore.
Now, she would make them despair!
At this moment, Su Chen’s expression remained calm and unconcerned.
Ruo Ximeng, on the other hand, was completely confused. She didn’t even understand what was happening.
But this very rude person seemed to be very powerful.
Hmm, probably very powerful?
“Bang!”
Under countless gazes, Xia Caiyan suddenly threw a punch.
With this punch, Xia Caiyan not only used her full strength, but her anger added even more power to it.
“Buzz!”
The Testing Stele vibrated with a low hum, and then, to the shock of everyone present, words appeared on its surface.
“Strength Level: Eighty!”
“Hiss! As expected of Piaoxue Palace’s top disciple—terrifying!”
“No wonder she’s so arrogant. She’s really this strong!”
“Incredible!”
After Xia Caiyan’s punch, all the surrounding cultivators were utterly stunned.
No one could have imagined that Xia Caiyan’s strength was at such an astonishing level!
Those cultivators who were about to take the test quickly stepped aside.
With Xia Caiyan’s eighty points ahead of them, if they went up now, wouldn’t it just be humiliating themselves?
After those people moved out of the way, Ruo Ximeng was instantly at the front of the line.
At this moment, quite a few people were smiling mockingly.
Judging by their clothes, it was clear that these two weren’t from any prestigious sect, just unknown wandering cultivators.
Most of these unknown wanderers were useless, and now was the perfect chance for them to embarrass themselves by getting a ridiculously low strength score, so that these others wouldn’t look quite so bad in comparison.
“Huh? It’s my turn?”
Seeing all those people in front of her suddenly move behind, Ruo Ximeng was a bit dazed and looked blankly at Su Chen.
“Ximeng, it’s fine. Go ahead and take the test.”
Su Chen had been a bit worried at first, but now he already had a plan.
These people wanted to watch Ruo Ximeng make a fool of herself? Not a chance! In a moment, he’d secretly help her, letting her score a perfect hundred!
‘Host, this is bad, this is bad! That little girl is about to be hit hard. She’s only been cultivating for such a short time, how much strength can she possibly have? This is over.’
As Ruo Ximeng stepped forward, the Imperial Teacher System spoke anxiously.
Although it had called Ruo Ximeng a good-for-nothing more than once, she was still one of their own, and it was heart-wrenching to see her humiliated in front of everyone.
‘Don’t worry, I’ll secretly help her and let Ximeng score a hundred.’
Seeing the ill intentions in the eyes of those around them, a faint, almost mocking smile appeared on Su Chen’s lips.
‘Ah? Host, you… as expected of you!’
The Imperial Teacher System’s little avatar was stunned for a moment, then a sly, sinister smile appeared on its tiny face.
At this moment, the crowd was all waiting eagerly for Ruo Ximeng to make a fool of herself.
Especially the arrogant Xia Caiyan, who had already begun to mock her from the side.
“Hahaha… How overconfident can you be? You really dare to take the test?”
“A weak little wandering cultivator like you would be lucky to get a ten in strength. Aren’t you ashamed to stay here and embarrass yourself?”
Xia Caiyan was extremely arrogant and rude, her tone full of ridicule and derision as she mocked Ruo Ximeng without restraint.
Ruo Ximeng hadn’t been confident to begin with. Hearing Xia Caiyan’s mocking words, she grew even more nervous.
Clenching her delicate fist, she took a gentle breath, and under countless mocking gazes, threw her punch.
“Boom!”
As Ruo Ximeng punched, a terrifying surge of force erupted in an instant.
Even the air seemed to ripple with visible waves of spiritual energy.
Her current physique was the one-in-a-billion Human Emperor Sacred Vein, and the cultivation method she practiced was the Mixed Yuan Star Technique, inherited from the Human Emperor lineage!
Her body had long since undergone nine refinements a day, completely transformed!
With such a profound force-exertion technique, her explosive power even faintly contained the essence of Destruction Power.
Such a punch, built up over time, was truly terrifying!
Under this punch, many of the surrounding cultivators felt as if their own hearts had been struck fiercely.
On Ruo Ximeng’s delicate, boneless fist, a force as overwhelming as a raging wave was contained.
This punch was fierce and unstoppable, crushing everything before it!
The Testing Stele, forged from special materials, shattered into dust under her punch, stone fragments flying everywhere.
“What?”
“How can this be!”
“Heavens, how is this possible!”
In that instant, the entire place erupted!
Every cultivator gasped, their eyes filled with utter shock.
Even the elders, stewards, and sect masters from the great sects were dumbfounded, staring at Ruo Ximeng in disbelief.
How could this be some unknown wanderer? This was definitely a peerless genius raised by some hidden master!
She shattered the Testing Stele with one punch—her strength was definitely over a thousand jin!
Who could believe that this seemingly delicate girl, as graceful as a flower reflected on water, as gentle as a willow in the wind, could possess such overwhelming power in her small body!
‘Host, did you not control your strength?’
The Imperial Teacher System’s little avatar asked calmly.
‘I swear I didn’t do anything!’
Su Chen was just as shocked as he stared at Ruo Ximeng. No one knew her situation better than he did.
Ruo Ximeng’s cultivation process had always been just for fun, hadn’t it?
But now, she actually possessed such terrifying strength—it was simply unbelievable.
‘What? Host! You didn’t help her at all!’
