Chapter 186: Pride of the Heavens!
However, attributes like "yin-yang," "light-darkness," "sound wave," and "space" were extremely rare. Manifesting any of these would undoubtedly create a sensation throughout the academies.
Apart from these rare attributes, there were also individuals with extreme attributes. For instance, in the case of the fire attribute, possessing rare types such as "blazing-flame true fire" or "flame-dragon true fire" would significantly elevate one\'s attribute talent beyond that of ordinary fire attributes.
Moreover, there was the aspect of mastering various attributes.
Even if one only possessed ordinary attributes, having several complementary ones could be regarded as a valuable talent.
However, there were limitations to this. If an individual possessed all five elemental attributes, it would lead to what is known as a "chaotic" attribute. Although this might not be apparent in the early stages of cultivation, as one grew stronger, the path of cultivation would become narrower, and the most one could achieve would also be greatly restricted.
Initially, Wen Tingguang believed that Ling Feng\'s true qi attributes were too diverse, suspecting that he might struggle to succeed in attuning spirits. Little did he know, Ling Feng was a prodigy whose constitution surpassed Wen Tingguang\'s understanding of the "Supreme Divine Body."
At this moment, the testing point for true qi attributes had attracted a large crowd.
It was a small square capable of accommodating several hundred people. At the center of the square stood two towering bronze pillars. Embedded in the left pillar were gemstones representing eight common attributes, while on the right were a row of star-like gemstones, totaling twelve in number.
As the tester stepped forward, their attributes were discerned by the gemstone\'s flickering and brightness. The gemstones on the left represented attributes, while the gemstones on the right indicated star ratings.
The testing requirements were straightforward: regardless of the attribute, achieving a rating of six stars or higher was necessary to pass.
Conducting the test were several elderly men with white beards. Though they seemed frail, each exuded a powerful aura akin to ancient mountains, and imposed awe upon all of the participating youths.
Those who passed the first round of testing queued up at the registration desk, submitted their numbered plaques, and then proceeded to the testing pillars to determine their true qi attributes.
"Number 886, Yu Wende, fire attribute, three stars! Disqualified!"
"Number 991, Bai Yizhou, water attribute, five stars! Disqualified!"
"Number 1132, Jiang Xiaofan, earth attribute, six stars! Barely passed!"
"Number 1366, Li Yi, dual attributes of metal and wind, eight stars. Eight stars is outstanding!"
...
Beams of light flickered as participants swiftly entered and departed from the assessment venue.
Number 1366, Li Yi, was visibly excited, nearly jumping for joy. Achieving eight stars with dual attributes was undoubtedly an outstanding accomplishment.
In contrast, Jiang Xiaofan, who barely passed, appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. He had an ordinary appearance and was dressed in coarse clothing, distinguishing him as one of the few commoners among the people taking the test.
Upon hearing his test results, Jiang Xiaofan patted his chest, silently relieved that barely passing was still considered passing.
However, in accordance with the rules of Tianwei Academy, passing all five assessments alone did not suffice for entry if one\'s performance remained mediocre across the board.
If Jiang Xiaofan\'s performance in the upcoming tests continued to be mediocre, he may also face elimination.
At that moment, Ling Feng was suddenly startled by an exclamation beside him.
"Huh? Big Brother, what brings you here? Aren\'t you already a student at Tianwei Academy?"
Turning back, Ling Feng found himself facing none other than Ouyang Jing, the young master of the Treasure Pavilion of Hanwu County!
Back then, he had covertly helped Ouyang Jing during the successor election. Ling Feng never imagined that today, during the entrance examination for Tianwei Academy, he would unexpectedly encounter this guy again.
Upon seeing Ling Feng, Ouyang Jing was clearly astonished. Initially, he had believed Ling Feng to be an outstanding student already enrolled at Tianwei Academy, only to realize that Ling Feng, just like himself, was here to register for admission to the academy.
With a slight smile, Ling Feng remarked, "Truly, fate has a way of bringing us together in unexpected places along life\'s journey."
"Big Brother, this is truly too coincidental! I\'m so excited, haha..."
Ouyang Jing exclaimed, his hand gripping Ling Feng\'s shoulder with excitement. Ling Feng had already become his idol, so it was only natural for him to be thrilled to see him again.
As they conversed, Ouyang Jing had already reached the front of the line. He dutifully handed over his numbered plaque, then followed the instructions to approach the testing pillars, gently pressing his hand against the left pillar.
Wow!
A golden light shot into the sky, illuminating the left side of the star-level pillar with ten stars in an instant.
The former students tasked with recording scores nodded and smiled, announcing, "Number 2771, Ouyang Jing, metal attribute, ten stars! Outstanding!"
A ten-star attribute was considered quite a remarkable true qi talent. Even the elders nearby, who had remained indifferent, couldn\'t help but raise an eyebrow.
A student of this caliber certainly warranted some attention.
Suddenly, another exclamation erupted from the left.
A brilliant blue light soared into the sky, radiating with dazzling intensity and emanating a bone-chilling aura that seemed to freeze everything for miles around, sending shivers down one\'s spine even from a distance.
"Number 219, Qin Wanwan, ice attribute, twelve stars!"
The staff responsible for recording the scores shouted in excitement. Clearly, this was the day\'s most remarkable achievement.
All twelve stars were illuminated!
All twelve stars were illuminated!
Ling Feng\'s heart stirred, prompting him to turn and gaze.
Standing before the testing pillar on the right was a figure draped in flowing white robes, exuding an air of pride. With a proud expression adorning her face, she resembled a majestic swan that commanded admiration and awe.
Isn\'t this young lady the same arrogant miss, Qin Wanwan, whom I encountered on the outskirts of the Heavenly Forest that day?
Countless envious gazes all focused on Qin Wanwan. It was just like the saying, “all eyes on me.”
Upon catching sight of such a stunning beauty, the young gentlemen from various cities and counties were completely captivated. Some even drooled, their faces resembling those of pigs.
"A genius with a twelve-star talent, that\'s impressive!"
"She\'s truly an outstanding beauty, absolutely stunning!"
"If only she\'d give me a smile, I\'d gladly sacrifice ten years of my life!"
In the audience, whether they were the applicants for assessment or former students, everyone was captivated by Qin Wanwan\'s extraordinary beauty, longing to bow down before her.
"Big Brother, this girl is truly the pride of the heavens!"
At that moment, Ouyang Jing had already leaped off the testing platform, his eyes locked onto Qin Wanwan. Unable to contain himself, he uttered an admiring remark beside Ling Feng.
"Too bad her temper\'s a bit off."
Ling Feng responded with a slight smirk, unperturbed, as he walked towards the stone table and handed his token to the staff.
"Huh?" Ouyang Jing paused, intending to ask Ling Feng if he knew Qin Wanwan, but he noticed Ling Feng already striding towards the testing pillar.
Ling Feng reached out and gently touched the pillar.
After a brief moment of silence, an incredible burst of light erupted from the star-level pillar on the right side.
