Very soon, everyone arrived at the location of the test of potential. Looking at the array in front of them, many disciples felt nervous in their hearts. The weaker disciples were worried that if their potential value didn't reach 30, they would be stripped of their core disciple status. As for the stronger disciples, they were suppressing their anger and wanted to fight for the slot to enter the Mystic Ice Mystic Realm.
Although there were opportunities and dangers in the Mystical Ice Secret Realm, no one wanted to miss this opportunity.
Some of the attendants of the Cloud Sky Mountain were already waiting. This time, it was a test for all the core disciples, so the lineup was naturally bigger.
As the jade tokens were distributed to the disciples, Instructor Yang said, "Every round, ten disciples will participate in the test. Those who are ready can enter the array directly."
"Lu Xuan, do you want to go first?" Xia Chenxi turned her head and asked.
However, Lu Xuan shook his head. "There's no rush. I want to see the strength of the other disciples first."
He had been in the Cloud Sky Mountain for a while, but he hadn't seen the strength of these core disciples.
Xia Chenxi smiled. "Then I'll go first. I've improved quite a bit during this period of time. I should be able to break through to 100 potential value."
Under Lu Xuan's guidance for more than a month, her battle prowess had skyrocketed. Moreover, she had also received the Cloud Startling Sword Technique from Lu Xuan, so her battle prowess had undoubtedly increased tremendously.
"Let's go too. This time, we must reach 100 potential value!" Lin Tian said confidently. Mo Dachen nodded. In the previous test, they were blocked from reaching 100 potential value. This was the best time for them to break through. This was because they had already mastered the high-grade yellow-grade martial techniques they had chosen previously. Although they hadn't reached the pinnacle, they had still greatly increased their strength.
Among the first wave of disciples, there were a few familiar faces of Lu Xuan. There was no need to mention Xia Chenxi, Lin Tian, and Mo Dachen. Even Xiao Long and Yu Feng were in the first wave.
Kong Wenbin originally wanted to be in the first wave as well. However, when he saw that Xia Chenxi had gone, he stopped. He also wanted to see how much Xia Chenxi's strength had increased.
As the ten disciples entered the formation, the formation quickly activated.
There was no concealment array formation activated so that the other disciples could clearly see the strength of the examinees. Unless there was a special request like Lu Xuan, they would not conceal the battle scene.
The enemies quickly appeared. Lu Xuan's attention was mainly focused on Xia Chenxi, while Lin Tian and the others occasionally paid attention.
After all, Xia Chenxi was about to enter the Mystical Ice Mystic Realm with him. Lu Xuan also hoped that Xia Chenxi's strength would improve significantly. When that time came, her ability to protect herself would also increase greatly.
The cultivators that appeared were all swept away. The disciples who dared to step forward in the first round were all confident in themselves. Otherwise, they would not have dared to step forward and embarrass themselves.
Xia Chenxi's battle was not intense. Perhaps it was because of Lu Xuan's influence, but her battle was very direct and efficient. She did not waste any essence energy. Compared to before, the speed at which she killed her enemies was obviously much faster.
Lu Xuan nodded silently. If this continued, it should not be a problem for her to reach 100 potential value.
Kong Wenbin, on the other hand, had mixed feelings in his heart. This was not the first time he had seen Xia Chenxi participate in the potential test. Therefore, he could easily see the change in Xia Chenxi's battle style. Without a doubt, the one who brought about these changes was undoubtedly Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan also took the time to watch Lin Tian and Mo Dengchen's battle. After more than two months of cultivation, the two's strength had increased significantly. Mo Dengchen definitely had no problem breaking through 100 potential value. After all, he had reached 99 previously. As for Lin Tian, if he performed well, he should be able to reach 100 potential value as well.
Yu Feng's performance was also quite good. His innate talent was not bad. Before Lu Xuan's arrival, he was the only core disciple who had broken through 100 potential value. During this period of time, he often asked Lu Xuan for guidance and often understood with a single hint. His improvement in strength was very obvious.
Xiao Long, on the other hand, was having a hard time. It was not that he was not strong enough. In fact, in terms of strength, he was second only to Lu Xuan and Kong Wenbin. The reason why he was having a hard time was because the first martial artist he faced had used a mid-grade yellow class martial technique. With his strength at the peak of the 10th level of the Body Refinement Realm, he naturally would not send out a martial artist who used a low-grade yellow class martial technique. That was purely a suicide mission.
As time passed, a disciple was the first to be unable to hold on. Faced with the sixth martial artist's attack, he began to feel awkward. Although he still managed to block it, it was extremely difficult. Under the eruption of the opposing martial artist, he finally had no choice but to crush his jade token and retreat.
If he went all out, he might have a chance to kill this martial artist. However, he would have to take a huge risk. Not everyone would be so crazy as to risk their lives in a mere test.
"Li Qun, potential value, 81!"
Upon hearing this potential value, a hint of regret flashed past Li Qun's face. However, he recovered very quickly. A potential value of 81 points. Although it wasn't too good, it was still considered one of the best.
Following that, the other disciples crushed their jade tokens one after another, ending the test. Their results were also revealed. All of them were between 70 to 90 points. The highest score was only 86 points, which was similar to Lin Tian's first test.
There were only five people left. They were Xia Chenxi's group of five.
The next one to retreat was Xiao Long. He also successfully killed the sixth martial artist and was defeated by the seventh. However, the martial artists he killed were all of higher quality. It was already not bad for him to be able to reach this point.
"Xiao Long, potential value, 92!"
"I still haven't broken through 100 points. It seems like I have no hope of obtaining a martial technique as a reward in the test of potential." Xiao Long smiled bitterly. Right now, he was at the peak of the 10th level of the Body Refinement Realm. If he advanced another step, he would reach the spirit-refinement realm. At that time, if he wanted to obtain a high potential value, the difficulty would multiply.
"We'll be heading to the Mystic Ice Mystic Realm next. Who knows, Senior Brother Xiao might have some fortuitous encounters and his strength would increase explosively." Lu Xuan smiled.
"Haha, I'll be counting on your auspicious words then. Mmm, it seems like Junior Sister Xia will definitely be able to break through 100 points this time around." Xiao Long's tone changed as he talked about Xia Chenxi.
As Xiao Long finished speaking, the seventh martial artist was successfully killed by Xia Chenxi!
The eighth martial artist appeared!
Startling Wind! Xia Chenxi didn't hesitate at all. She decisively took out the Startling Cloud Sword Technique that she had just learned from Lu Xuan. Only this Mystic Tier martial technique would allow her to advance further.
"Mystic Tier martial technique!" Xiao Long exclaimed in astonishment. After that, he hurriedly asked Lu Xuan, "Isn't this the martial technique that Lu Xuan taught you? Could it be that you … "
"That's right. I obtained this martial technique by accident while I was out adventuring. Hence, I passed it on to Chenxi. When she enters the Mystic Ice Mystic Realm, she'll have an additional skill to protect her life." Lu Xuan admitted.
"Haha, you're indeed generous. You've given such a precious Mystic Tier martial technique away just like that." Xiao Long smiled as he spoke, "However, Junior Sister Xia's comprehension is indeed very high. You've managed to grasp it in such a short period of time."
Xiao Long could tell that Xia Chenxi's martial technique had originated from Lu Xuan. How could Kong Wenbin not be able to tell? To be able to pass on such a precious martial technique to Xia Chenxi, one could only imagine the extent of their relationship.
"The help that Lu Xuan can provide Chenxi is indeed greater than mine …" Kong Wenbin thought to himself. At the very least, he was unable to greatly increase Xia Chenxi's combat strength in such a short period of time, let alone pass on such a martial technique to her.
At this moment, another person crushed his jade token. It was none other than Lin Tian!
Previously, Lin Tian took the risk to kill the sixth cultivator but fell to the seventh. But this time around, after he grasped the Phantom Consecutive Sword Technique, his combat strength increased tremendously. He didn't need to take the risk and successfully killed the seventh cultivator. He only lost after fighting against the eighth disciple.
"It's a pity that I haven't reached the major completion stage of this Phantom Consecutive Sword Technique. If not, the eighth cultivator definitely wouldn't be able to stop me." Lin Tian sighed. Two months of time was only enough for him to grasp the technique. It wasn't enough for him to reach the major completion stage.
"Lin Tian, potential value, 101!"
Lin Tian's result was announced loudly by the deacon.
"It actually exceeded 100!"
"Seems like Junior Brother Lin's future achievements won't be small!"
…
The crowd of disciples exclaimed in shock. Potential value exceeding 100 was a threshold. Although Lin Tian had just barely reached it, it was enough to prove his potential.
A small wave of excitement finally erupted among the spectating core disciples. Someone had broken through 100. This was definitely something worthy of celebration.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Lin. You've successfully broken through 100 and can obtain the martial technique as a reward. I'm very envious!" Xiao Long clasped his hands and smiled. Regardless of his relationship with Lu Xuan or Lin Tian's own potential, it was enough for Xiao Long to befriend him.
"Senior Brother Xiao is too kind. Compared to Lu Xuan, I'm nothing." Lin Tian smiled. Evidently, he was in a good mood. If he obtained another high-grade yellow tier martial technique, he might even be able to improve further in the next test of potential.
Xiao Long shook his head, "Don't compare yourself with Lu Xuan. His results aren't something an ordinary person should have. I've always dreamed of breaking 100, but I've never been able to do so."
To him, a high-grade yellow tier martial technique wasn't that valuable anymore. However, he was more interested in this honor and affirmation.
"Senior Brother Yu also came out!" Another disciple shouted. Yu Feng had also persevered to his limits and crushed his jade token.
"Yu Feng, potential value, 113!"
"113! I think Senior Brother Kong's highest record is 112, right? Doesn't that mean Senior Brother Yu has broken Senior Brother Kong's record? "A disciple asked.
Hearing his own results, Yu Feng was also a little stunned. However, he was overjoyed very quickly. Before Lu Xuan came, Kong Wen Bin was the strongest core disciple. Now that his potential value had broken Kong Wen Bin's record, it meant that if there were no accidents, his future achievements wouldn't be lower than Kong Wen Bin's.
"Lu Xuan, you have to get half of this result. If it wasn't for the fact that you've been explaining the principles of the sword to me, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to even break 100." Yu Feng sincerely thanked Lu Xuan. Previously, he only had a potential value of 98 points. This time around, he was able to reach 112 points. Instead of retreating, he advanced. Lu Xuan's contributions couldn't go unnoticed.
