Chapter 1459: Strength Examination? (1/2)

He was jumping up and down as he spoke, as if he were performing a warm-up routine.

However, Tang Wulin could sense that the energy fluctuations he was releasing had undergone a change.

In contrast with the nondescript energy fluctuations from before, Tang Wulin felt as if he had become an ignited bomb. His soul power was escalating at an alarming rate, and it wasn't just an instantaneous boost. Instead, it was a continuous rapid rise. Even the space around him was beginning to buzz due to the elevation in his soul power.

What kind of ability was this?

”Begin!”

The electronic voice rang out once again, and Lan Fuozi immediately sprang into action. As opposed to soul rings, a faint blue ring of light appeared around his body. The ring of light was riddled with peculiar runes, and his aura suddenly became extremely placid, as if he were a cloud drifting through the air.

He wasn't particularly fast, but he seemed to be able to predict the movements of his assailants, contorting his body to evade their attacks before reaching the other side in the blink of an eye.

With Tang Wulin's immense spiritual power, he could sense that Lan Fuozi had only been struck by three projections at most, which was certainly a far better result than the previous participant.

However, Lan Fuozi was still quite frustrated as he stomped a foot onto the ground. ”This is way too hard!”

Instead of immediately departing, he stood on the other side and appraised Tang Wulin with a hint of intrigue in his eyes.

He had been struck by three projections, giving him a final score of nine, and in his mind, there was no way that Tang Wulin would be able to do better than him. Even though speed wasn't his forte, he was very confident in his own evasive skills. Tang Wulin had proclaimed that he had received a perfect score for the first examination, but he hadn't shown Lan Fuozi his electronic chip; this second examination would most likely give Lan Fuozi a good indication of whether he was telling the truth.

As a potential rival for this event, he really wanted to see how Tang Wulin was going to handle this examination.

Tang Wulin made his way to the entrance, and a faint smile appeared on his face as he cast his gaze toward Lan Fuozi.

”Begin!”

The electronic voice rang out.

Immediately thereafter, a layer of bluish-purple lightning suddenly appeared over Tang Wulin's body, following which he began to hurtle through the passageway at an incredible speed.

Before Lan Fuozi had a chance to react, Tang Wulin had already appeared by his side.

However, the keys to success in this examination lay in one's agility and ability to predict enemy attacks; a faster speed couldn't diminish the effects of the projections' attacks.

However, Lan Fuozi's eyes had completely widened with shock and he could see that all of the projections around Tang Wulin had warped in his wake. Their attacks were clearly about to strike him, but they were slowed down by this warping effect, thereby allowing Tang Wulin to charge right through them.

He immediately made a grab for Tang Wulin's wrist, and Tang Wulin allowed him to do so.

The number being displayed on the electronic chip was 10!

”That's cheating!” Lan Fuozi exclaimed in an indignant manner.

Tang Wulin glanced at him, and asked, ”How did I cheat?”

”You...” Lan Fuozi suddenly realized that he had no idea how Tang Wulin had cheated. It was clear that the lightning he had released had disrupted the soul tool, but that was a part of his abilities, and there was no rule prohibiting this.

His lips twitched slightly as he gave Tang Wulin a thumbs-up, then departed from the soul tool.

Tang Wulin naturally followed along behind him. Following his departure, tragedy befell the participant behind him. He had witnessed the blitzkrieg tactics that Tang Wulin had employed, and he tried to emulate him.

As a result, he became the only one to be struck by all of the projections during this examination!

Scoring zero in a single examination would result in an instantaneous elimination, and through this painful ordeal, he learned that some things shouldn't be emulated!

”You're ahead of me by one point for now, but I'm going to catch up to you no matter what this third examination is! Do you believe me?” Lan Fuozi said with a competitive gleam in his eyes.

”I believe you,” Tang Wulin replied with a smile.

Lan Fuozi felt as if he had punched a bag of cotton. He had prepared a long rambling speech to proclaim his own greatness, but Tang Wulin's nonchalant response left him feeling even more frustrated.

Thus, they arrived at the third examination.
