"Liu Qi …"
Hearing Bi Yi's words, Chen Heng nodded and did not say anything else.
When the recommended person took the test, the recommender had to be present. This was a very normal rule and was not strange at all.
It was just that he did not know what this test was about.
Sitting in the carriage, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he thought to himself.
Time gradually passed.
After a while, they left this region and came to another place.
This was a very secretive place, and there was a layer of fog around it, making it look quite special.
Chen Heng looked around.
He could sense a powerful and mysterious power enveloping the area.
This place was covered with Divine Marks that were similar to those of Cultivators. They entrenched themselves in the area, forming an invisible barrier that separated this place from the outside world. It was a small man-made domain.
Of course, with Chen Heng's current strength, this was all he could see.
As for what these runic arrays were used for and how powerful they were, he didn't know.
Within his body, the Fortune Mark slowly fell silent and gave off a formless power, but it did not give Chen Heng that feeling of fear.
It seemed that he would not be in much danger for now.
After a while, Chen Heng followed Bi Yi and arrived at that building.
In front of them was an exceptionally spacious and huge building. Just by looking at it, one could feel how huge it was.
There was already someone waiting in front of that building.
"You're late."
A middle-aged man stood there and looked at Bi Yi with a calm expression as he said softly, "Did something happen on the way?"
"What could possibly happen?"
Bi Yi smiled, "It was just a bit of a traffic jam.
Alright, he's here. Let's begin. "
She looked at the middle-aged man before holding Chen Heng's hand and slowly walking forwards.
"Is it this child?"
Looking at Chen Heng, the middle-aged man frowned, "Such a young Awakened?
Even though he's very young, he has unimaginable power. "
Bi Yi smiled as she said softly.
"Is that so?"
The middle-aged man coldly harrumphed before saying, "Then I'll be waiting."
After saying that, he didn't say anything else. He turned around and walked into the interior.
Seeing this, Bi Yi held Chen Heng's hand and followed along.
After a while, they reached the interior of the building.
The interior of the building was a very spacious space. At this moment, there were already a few people waiting there.
"We meet again."
A familiar figure slowly walked over and spoke.
It was none other than Liu Qi.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Liu Qi had changed into a new set of clothes. He looked quite spirited and calm.
At that moment, he smiled as he looked at Chen Heng and said with some anticipation, "I really look forward to it."
"I wonder what kind of performance you will have."
He said expectantly.
That night, he had seen Chen Heng's attack.
However, the battle that night was completely one-sided.
The human demon was not weak and could even be said to be very strong. However, he was not a match for Chen Heng at all and had been beaten up the entire time.
Thus, Liu Qi couldn't help but feel curious.
He wondered just how powerful Chen Heng's full power was.
"We've looked through all of your information."
Bi Yi turned and smiled as she said, "I'm sure that you've been suppressed quite badly in the past.
Don't worry.
Now that we're here, there's no need to hold back.
"How much strength do you have? Show it all."
She said softly as she looked at Chen Heng.
Evidently, they had learned about Chen Heng's past in just a few days.
As such, they were able to deduce some things, such as that Chen Heng had been hiding his true strength.
They completely understood this.
"People are always like this."
Bi Yi nodded before saying, "When they find that they are different from others, they will act differently.
"Or they will become arrogant and think that they are different from other mortals and that they are true geniuses.
"As for some people, they will hide in the dark and treat others as playthings that they can manipulate at will."
She spoke softly as she described how ordinary people would act after obtaining great power.
"As for you, Student Chen, you belong to another type.
"You obtained great power, but you did not use it to harm others. In fact, for your friends and family, you took the initiative to control your power and act like an ordinary person.
"This quality is worthy of praise."
She looked at Chen Heng and could not help but praise him.
The others couldn't help but nod, even the middle-aged man from before.
The consequences of ordinary people obtaining great power were incredibly terrifying.
Great power would cause them to lose themselves and become terrifying. In the end, they would view ordinary people as ants and think of themselves as gods.
Not just in other places, but among the Guardians alone, there were many such existences.
Those that were worthy of modification and had value were modified. As for those that couldn't be modified, they were naturally destroyed by humanity.
There were many such things every year, and they had gotten used to it.
Compared to these people, to them, Chen Heng was a very well-behaved child.
After obtaining great power, he could easily crush others, but he acted like an ordinary student and did not even think about using his power to improve his life.
What a well-behaved child.
After seeing so many strange awakened people, they naturally felt that a good citizen like Chen Heng was much more pleasing to the eye.
This was why Bi Yi had been so easy to talk to.
"Alright."
By the side, the middle-aged man was holding a stack of documents as he looked at Chen Heng, "There's no need to waste any more words.
Let's start the test. "
He looked at Chen Heng as he said, "The test is split into two parts, mind and body. Which do you want to test first?"
"Mind."
Chen Heng thought for a moment before replying softly.
"Mind? That's good. "
The middle-aged man nodded, "Based on what Liu Qi said, your awakened ability should be focused on your body. I just don't know if there's anything special about your mind.
Now, go up and try. "
As his voice fell, the lights in the surroundings turned on and focused on a certain point, illuminating that area very brightly.
Following the middle-aged man's instructions, Chen Heng slowly walked into that light.
The rainbow-colored light shined on his body.
Boom!
A ferocious pressure came from all around him.
Different from normal pressure, this pressure did not come from his body but from his mind.
Waves of pressure came from his mind. Fatigue, pain, and all sorts of negative feelings flowed into his mind, making him feel incredibly uncomfortable.
"Can you take it?"
Bi Yi asked, "This is a pressure resistance test. It uses your reaction to test the strength of your mind.
If you can't take it anymore, just say it. It's fine. "
Speaking to there, she smiled at Chen Heng and gave him a kind reminder.
"It's fine."
Chen Heng shook his head.
Under the light, his expression was calm as he said softly, "Continue."
Not too far away, hearing his words, the middle-aged man nodded and continued to press.
The lights became even brighter.
Waves of light flashed, covering Chen Heng's body.
The mental pressure was also getting stronger and stronger.
It was just that after a few moments, Chen Heng did not react.
"Continue."
He continued to speak.
"It's not just your body; even your mind can reach this level?"
Bi Yi nodded, feeling a bit surprised, "Continue."
By the side, the middle-aged man did not say anything and continued to press harder.
The lights became even brighter.
The mental pressure from Chen Heng's body became stronger and stronger.
Third speed, fourth speed, fifth speed … eighth speed!
After raising it a few times, the colors of the lights gradually changed from rainbow-colored to a faint white.
Being shone on by this white light, Chen Heng's face became pale.
He was still standing there, but his body was covered with cold sweat. His clothes were soaked, and he looked quite wretched.
However, in the eyes of the others, this was already a rare miracle.
"This … this …"
Standing in front of the apparatus, the middle-aged man could no longer maintain his cold expression.
He pointed at Chen Heng and couldn't help but say, "Liu Qi."
Back when you took the test, how many speeds did you pass? "
"I think … I couldn't take it anymore at the fifth speed."
Liu Qi's mouth twitched as he looked at Chen Heng, who was still standing there, and he seemed to think of some unpleasant memories.
"Moreover, he only stood there for half a minute, which was just enough to pass."
Bi Yi said in a friendly tone.
"Compared to him, you can't even compare."
Liu Qi's mouth twitched as he opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but he did not know what to say.
Indeed, the truth was right in front of him.
Compared to Chen Heng, his performance back then was not much at all.
"Is this fellow really an Awakened who specializes in physical strength?"
The middle-aged man could not help but say, "He's already stood under the pressure of the eighth speed for two minutes, and it looks like he's fine.
This kind of mental strength potential is enough to compare to those with top-tier mental strength talent.
Ever since the Protectors were established, only ten or so people have been able to reach this level in the mental strength test. "
They were all shocked by Chen Heng's performance.
At that moment, Chen Heng's voice once again sounded out.
"Continue."
Above, under the light, Chen Heng turned and looked down at Bi Yi and the others as he continued to speak.
"Very well."
Hearing Chen Heng's voice, they stopped discussing.
Following this, the middle-aged man once again pressed the button.
Boom!!
A series of noises could be heard from the surroundings.
The faint white light suddenly became searing hot as it covered Chen Heng's body.
Bang!
In that moment, Chen Heng's body suddenly fell to the ground.
He clutched his head and furrowed his brows.
"Crap!"
Seeing this, Bi Yi felt quite startled before looking quite worried, "He can't hold on anymore, hurry and stop!"
However, hearing her words, neither the middle-aged man nor Liu Qi reacted. They only looked ahead seriously, waiting for Chen Heng's reaction.
After falling for a short moment, Chen Heng quickly did something else.
He silently got up and stretched out his hands as his body started to move.
Finally, as Bi Yi and the others watched on, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes, seeming to enter a deep meditation.
"In the end, I've reached my limit."
Sensing the pressure coming from all over his body, Chen Heng thought to himself.
At that moment, he could feel the pressure coming from all around him, wanting to inundate his consciousness.
This level of mental pressure was something that he could not endure.
In other words, if he did not rely on external forces, his mental energy would only be at this level.
Realizing this, he quickly sat down and went into a meditative state.
He immediately started to use the Basic Meditation Technique.
Immediately, his scattered mind became focused, and it was as if loose sand had become a wall, becoming much sturdier.
The Basic Meditation Technique was a legacy of Sorcerers. Cultivating it over a long period of time could temper one's mind and gradually increase one's mental energy.
In the previous simulation, Chen Heng was already quite familiar with this Basic Meditation Technique.
Apart from increasing one's mind, this Basic Meditation Technique could also focus one's mind.
As he used the Basic Meditation Technique, his mind did not become stronger, but it became much more condensed and sturdy.
In that moment, the pressure from the outside world was blocked.
He sat there cross-legged, temporarily balancing out the pressure from the outside world.
He was at a stalemate.
"He actually … withstood it."
Looking at Chen Heng sitting there, Liu Qi looked quite surprised before instinctively looking at Bi Yi, "You just said that only ten or so people have passed in total."
What about those who have passed the ninth level? "
"Only five in total."
Bi Yi thought for a moment before saying softly, "But from today onwards, it will be six."
She said as she looked at Chen Heng and sighed.
"Putting aside his body's potential, just his mental energy's potential is enough for him to become a top-tier inspector in the future.
"After going back, we can apply for those secret techniques for him so that he can join the team clearing out the abnormal regions.
"Also, we need to apply for more Guards."
The middle-aged man also said, "This is a rare seedling; we can't let anything happen to him.
We need to send people to protect him. "
"Protect him?"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Liu Qi's mouth twitched. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he did not know what to say.
At that moment, he thought back to the scene of Chen Heng hammering the Human Demon.
That scene had been incredibly bloody and brutal.
The terrifying demonic humans were like kittens or puppies in the hands of this man, and he could do whatever he wanted with them.
If this person needed protection, then there was no one in the world who did not need protection.
Liu Qi's mouth twitched as he thought to himself.
He did not know why, but he suddenly felt quite expectant.
He was looking forward to seeing how these two people would perform when Chen Heng's body was tested.
As such, Chen Heng once again walked onto the empty ground.
Different from before, the body test was a real battle.
"Real battle …"
Chen Heng raised his head and looked ahead.
In front of him, an illusory figure had appeared.
This figure was quite illusory and looked like a human, and Chen Heng could faintly make out some unique silhouettes.
Looking at this figure, for some reason, Chen Heng felt a sense of familiarity.
As such, he could not help but frown as he turned to look at Liu Qi.
"You're right."
Liu Qiqi nodded and said, "This shadow is your duplicate."
"It was created through a secret technique and the rune formations here. In theory, it can create a figure with the same power as you, but the process is quite complicated."
Following this, he explained to Chen Heng the process of creating these shadow puppets.
Not only did it require the support of sufficient power, and it could only appear in this space, but it also required the cooperation and blood of the person being cloned.
Hearing Liu Qi's explanation, Chen Heng thought back to the process he had gone through when he had first entered this place.
From the looks of it, the seemingly inexplicable process of the physical examination should be the preparatory work for this test.
"So it's like that?"
After understanding this, Chen Heng turned and looked in front of him.
As he looked at it, the figure in front of him became hazy and twisted.
Following this, the figure leapt forwards and punched at him.
Looking at this fist, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he stood there, not moving at all.
A light bang sounded out as the fist landed on Chen Heng's body, but Chen Heng's body did not move at all.
He calmly stood there like a large mountain, not moving at all.
"Just this bit of power?"
Sensing this figure's power, Chen Heng felt quite surprised.
After speaking, he casually waved his hand and patted it as if he was swatting a fly.
Bang!
A light sound tore through the air.
Below the stage, Bi Yi and the others stared at this scene with their mouths agape.
Above, Chen Heng lightly waved his hand, and that seemingly weak attack sent the figure flying.
