Along with this sentence, the person rushed toward the stone plate in Jing Chengtian's hand at an astonishing speed, and a bright starlight burst out. It was a finger that looked like a meteor from outer space. The finger gently touched the center of the stone plate, and the person stopped, revealing his face.
It was a man with black and white hair, and his entire body was covered in dragon and tiger patterns. His nose was high, and his shoulders were broad. His entire person was like a combination of an eagle and a tiger, giving off a majestic feeling of a tiger crouching in a crouching position.
However, the man looked at the stone plate in front of him, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.
Looking at the half-inch-deep mark on the stone plate, he frowned. 'My Star Shattering Finger can even crush a piece of pure steel into dust. Yet, this thing can only leave such a mark?' Although he was astonished, he did not show it on his face.
Jing Chengtian smiled and said, "So it's Old Hero Long from the Dragon Tiger Gang. The old man is really old. This Star Shattering Finger skill is probably unparalleled in the martial arts world."
"Hmph, cut the pleasantries. Although my Star Shattering Finger is powerful, it's still far from your Sky Limit Dao Quake." The leader of the Dragon Tiger Gang, Long Xiaotian, shook his head and walked to his seat. After he sat down, the deputy leader, Sun Zhou, whispered behind him. The two of them looked in the direction of Zuo Zhicheng and the others from time to time, but no one knew what they were talking about.
Not long after Long Xiaotian went down, a few more masters went up on stage and attacked the stone plate. Some of them used poison, some used electricity, and some even used weapons. However, no one left a mark that surpassed Long Xiaotian's. There was even a big man who used a big iron spear that did not leave a single mark.
Only then did the masters on stage realize that the stone plate was far stronger than they had imagined.
Through the stone plate, the strength of the people present was clearly divided.
For example, Wei Yan, who used a flying sword, left more than ten half-inch marks on the stone plate. He was the first in line. Similar to him was the big man in iron armor from the Sun Family and a few other masters. There were less than five of them in total.
The slightly weaker ones, Tian Longzi from the White Dragon Gang and Xiao Minghe from the Sky Sword Sect, left similar marks as Long Xiaotian. They were the second in line, and there were about ten of them.
Those who were slightly weaker could only leave a faint trace. They belonged to the third sequence, and there were about 30 of them.
The worst ones were those who couldn't even leave a trace behind. After showing their faces, they left dejectedly.
Of course, this kind of test was only a very vague data. Not to mention the matter of hiding one's strength, because of the relationship between abilities, small traces might not necessarily be weak. However, it was enough to determine a rough estimate of one's strength.
As for Jing Chengtian and Cao Shuyao, no one asked them to take the test. Everyone noticed that no matter what kind of attack Jing Chengtian's stone plate received, the stone plate and Jing Chengtian's hand did not retreat at all.
'This fellow's strength is becoming more and more unfathomable.' Dragon Xiaotian squinted his eyes slightly and glanced at the stone plate on the stage. Suddenly, he looked at Zuo Zhicheng and said loudly, "Friend, I don't know which master of the Shen family you are. Thank you for taking care of my brothers."
"My name is Shen Cang." Zuo Zhicheng stood up and said, "Let me try this stone plate."
Dragon Xiaotian's eyes flashed as he stared at Zuo Zhicheng. It was as if he wanted to see through him. Among the people present, those who knew that Zuo Zhicheng had single-handedly forced the Dragon Tiger Gang to retreat, such as Tian Longzi and Xiao Minghe, all revealed curious expressions. They were curious as to how powerful this Shen Cang, whom they had never heard of before, was.
Those who didn't know that Zuo Zhicheng had forced the Dragon Tiger Gang to retreat by himself looked at Zuo Zhicheng with amusement, hoping that this unknown young man would be defeated.
Zuo Zhicheng slowly walked up to the stone plate, and a red aura of vital energy and blood flashed across his face. It seemed that he had already used up most of his strength. He tapped his finger on the stone plate, and the moment he made contact with it, he immediately pulled back.
The moment his finger touched the stone plate, the Divine Light Sword shot out and disappeared. When he retracted his finger, it left a one-centimeter deep mark on the stone plate.
Zuo Zhicheng wanted to deal with Shenzong. Naturally, he couldn't expose himself and his strength in advance. Therefore, he only used a little bit of strength so that he wouldn't attract too much attention. He also didn't want to be overlooked and cause unnecessary trouble.
This result wasn't considered amazing, but it was definitely not weak. He could probably be ranked in the second row with Tian Longzi, Xiao Minghe, Dragon Xiaotian, and the others.
Seeing this result, those who hadn't seen Zuo Zhicheng before were surprised. "Where did this Shen Cang come from?"
"I've never seen him before. When did the Fuzhou Shen family have such an expert?"
Dragon Xiaotian also took a deep look at Zuo Zhicheng. He calculated in his heart, "My Star Shattering Finger just now used about 30% of my strength. No matter how weak this kid is, it can't be lower than 30%. The mark is also shallower than mine. It seems that the destructive power of his hand Dao technique is limited.
Xinjing, on the other hand, sounds troublesome. If I want to fight, it seems that it's best to fight with him. "
Zuo Zhicheng didn't care how the crowd judged his strength. After he sat back down, the last few experts also finished the test. There were a total of 52 people who left their marks on the stone plate.
However, although the stone plate was sturdy, its sturdiness couldn't be seen just by looking. Many of the Jianghu people below the stage saw this scene and had some doubts in their hearts.
"This stone doesn't look special. Will I be able to leave my mark on it?"
"Could it be that these experts aren't as strong as the legends say? Maybe I'm also very strong."
There were always people with all kinds of thoughts in the world. Immediately, a busybody shouted, "Master Jing, we came all the way here. We can't just go back like this. Why don't you let us give it a try?"
"Yeah, let us give it a try."
Seeing the people below the stage shouting one after another, Jing Chengtian smiled and asked those who volunteered to come up one by one.
Unfortunately, they couldn't leave a single mark on the stone plate even though their faces were red and some even broke their arms. Then, a man with a head full of red hair walked up to the stage.
When the man came up to the stage, the experts including Wei Yan, Long Xiaotian, and Tian Longzi all changed their expressions. Looking at the man who was more than two meters tall and as strong as a polar bear, their expressions became serious.
"Another expert." Zuo Zhicheng looked at the man's red hair that was tied into countless small braids and scanned back and forth with his infrared vision. "This radiation and structure is too similar to Geo's. Is he from the Longevity Devil Palace?"
The red-haired man laughed loudly and walked step by step to the front of the stone plate. Just when everyone thought that a shocking attack was about to land, the man lightly punched and turned to leave.
On the stone plate, a three-inch deep fist print was left.
So far, including the experts who attacked the Ruishan Palace with Jing Chengtian, there were a total of 53 people. As for the experts, the Jianghu people, the Jianghu people, and the army who planned to follow, track, or participate in this battle, it was even more difficult to count.
