Chapter 13

On the viewing stand, everyone looked up at the void. The drum's aftertones still lingered, and it seemed as if a terrifying current was surging through the world, the power was too frightening.

"Monster, no wonder Ye Wuxie of the Ye family was willing to give up the opportunity to marry into the royal family and chose Bai Qiuxue instead. This woman is a phoenix among women, and her future achievements will not be much less than Ye Wuxie's." Xing Feng thought to himself, determined to get her to join the Royal Academy.

"Bai Qiuxue, if you join the Royal Academy, I can immediately grant you a Yuan Mansion-level cultivation technique and three powerful divine abilities. The techniques and divine abilities are all incredibly exquisite. What do you think?" Xing Feng said, formally extending an olive branch to Bai Qiuxue.

"Our Divine Wind Academy can also offer a Yuan Mansion-level cultivation technique and three powerful divine abilities, and we will have a senior-level expert from the Divine Wind Academy personally teach you." The Divine Wind Academy offered even more tempting conditions.

"The Seven Star Martial Mansion can provide you with three Yuan Mansion-level cultivation techniques to choose from, three powerful divine abilities, and the special privilege of bringing five members of your family to cultivate in the Martial Mansion." The Seven Star Martial Mansion not only wanted to cultivate Bai Qiuxue but also offered her the special privilege of developing her family.

"The Imperial Star Academy welcomes your joining." The person beside Mo Shang could not help but speak, causing a faint smile to finally appear on Bai Qiuxue's indifferent face. The four major academies and martial mansions invited her simultaneously.

Looking at the figures standing up on the viewing stand, Bai Qiuxue did not immediately agree. Instead, she turned around and looked at Qin Wentian, saying calmly, "Now, do you understand?"

"Understand what?" Qin Wentian asked in return.

"The so-called marriage, in the face of an absolute gap, is nothing but a joke. From now on, live your ordinary life well." Bai Qiuxue said calmly, "Our lives are destined to be two parallel lines, never to intersect."

With that, Bai Qiuxue turned and walked toward the viewing stand. Everyone watched her, eager to see which one Bai Qiuxue would choose!

"Wait!" At that moment, Qin Wentian calmly spoke, causing Bai Qiuxue to turn around and look at him. She saw a smile in his eyes, which made her pause.

"Your assessment is over, but mine has not even begun!" Qin Wentian said calmly, causing Bai Qiuxue to hesitate. He actually wanted to try?

Qin Wentian walked to the power drum, took a deep breath. Now, his cultivation was at the fifth level of Body Tempering. Even with the great enhancement from the Heavenly Hammer Star, his strength still fell short of Bai Qiuxue's. But now, he had to use all his strength and fight with all his might.

The gap between two levels is significant. An ordinary fifth-level Body Tempering person has the strength of twenty-five oxen. However, Qin Wentian was a pure Martial Destiny cultivator and had communicated with the Martial Destiny Star on the fifth heaven, forming a domineering Heavenly Hammer Star Soul. The surging star power and the enhancement from the Star Soul could double his strength, reaching the power of fifty oxen.

Furthermore, he had practiced the Dragon Subduing Fist for several days, refining the techniques to a high level, which could further enhance his strength and narrow the gap with Bai Qiuxue. Therefore, this time, he needed to give it his all.

"Hmph!" Tang Lin sneered. If Qin Wentian could not make three strikes, he would make Qin Wentian pay.

Mo Shang's eyes narrowed, his smile deepening. He seemed to sense the aura of a rising lion.

Qin Chuan, on the viewing stand, was also moved. Could it be that Wentian had truly broken through the absolute meridian and entered the path of cultivation?

Qin Wentian looked at the power drum in front of him. At this moment, he entered a state of emptiness, forgetting everything, as if he wanted to vent all the humiliation he had suffered over the past few days on the power drum.

Suddenly, Qin Wentian moved, his fist like the wind, striking the power drum directly.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The power drum sounded three times. Although it was ordinary, it still made many people's expressions freeze. Qin Wentian, who was born with an absolute meridian, had struck three times, meaning he had the strength of thirty oxen.

"Wentian!" Qin Chuan's body trembled violently. These three drum sounds were like heavenly sounds to him, shaking his soul.

Beside Qin Chuan, Qin Yao clenched her fists tightly. Qin Wentian had struck three times.

Tang Lin, Bai Qingsong, Bai Qiuxue, and others were stunned, very surprised. However, after the surprise, they returned to their usual expressions. Three strikes, so what? Only the strength of thirty oxen. Perhaps Qin Wentian had cultivated the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Qin Wentian's body made a cracking sound. His muscles seemed to be filled with boundless strength. The star meridians formed a vortex channel, and the star primordial energy gathered crazily, flowing through the star meridian channel to Qin Wentian's arm, making his clenched fist crack.

"Raging Dragon Emerges from the Sea!" At this moment, Qin Wentian was like an angry dragon emerging from the sea, gathering all his strength into his fist, and striking the power drum fiercely.

"Boom..." The drum sound shook the sky, making people's eardrums hurt.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The drum sound continued, reaching four strikes in an instant, and the momentum was still there.

Qin Wentian was immersed in it, as if he had become one with the power drum. The terrifying backlash shook his body, and the drum sound shook his soul. His bones made a crackling sound, and changes were happening inside his body. His muscles seemed to be refined, giving him a feeling of rebirth. This was a breakthrough!

However, the sound of his bones was completely drowned out by the loud drum sound. With the fifth drum sound, the people on the viewing stand were shocked. Qin Wentian had struck five times, and the aftereffects were still present.

Qin Wentian's eyes showed a hint of a smile, without any disappointment. He had not expected to break through to the sixth level of Body Tempering at this moment. It seemed that the power of the star meteorite had not been wasted.

"Good!" Qin Chuan could not help but exclaim in surprise. Five strikes, the strength of fifty oxen, and almost reaching the sixth strike.

The sleeping genius had finally awakened.

"Five strikes." Bai Qingsong and others were stunned. They had not expected Qin Wentian to strike five times.

"You have been cultivating the primordial energy of heaven and earth in secret, reaching this level, but you did not let me absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth. How laughable." Bai Qiuxue stared at Qin Wentian. With the strength of fifty oxen, Qin Wentian might have reached the seventh level of Body Tempering or even higher. However, he had not formed a Star Soul, which meant he had been cultivating the primordial energy of heaven and earth all along.

She could not have imagined that Qin Wentian had reached this level in just seven days. She also could not have imagined how perfect the body of a pure Martial Destiny cultivator, forged by the star primordial energy from the fifth heaven, was, and how powerful the strength enhancement was.

"Pitiful." Qin Wentian looked at Bai Qiuxue and said softly. Suddenly, starlight shone brightly, and a Star Soul condensed above Qin Wentian's head. It was a giant hammer, surrounded by a dense, pale golden halo, even brighter and more brilliant than her Star Soul, containing even more star power.

"Boom!" Suddenly, the entire space shook. Star Soul, heaven! Qin Wentian not only exerted the strength of fifty oxen but also formed a Star Soul, a Martial Destiny cultivator.

It should be noted that Qin Wentian had shown a talent for star primordial energy affinity that was over nine stars.

"This Star Soul is definitely formed by communicating with the Martial Destiny Star on the third heaven, even brighter than Bai Qiuxue's." The crowd's hearts trembled violently.

With over nine-star affinity talent and a Star Soul from the third heaven, the halo surrounding Qin Wentian at this moment seemed to overshadow Bai Qiuxue.

"Good, good!" Qin Chuan could not help but shout, feeling as if he had expelled all the pent-up frustration in his chest. It was too exhilarating, a Martial Destiny cultivator with over nine-star talent and a Star Soul from the third heaven.

"Who said my son Qin Wentian is not worthy of Bai Qiuxue? Is she worthy of my son Qin Wentian?" Qin Chuan said coldly, his gaze sweeping over Bai Qingsong. At this moment, Bai Qingsong's eyes were particularly expressive, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing. How could this be possible?

The people from the four major academies and martial mansions, who had already sat down, all stood up again, staring at the Star Soul above Qin Wentian's head. The light was so bright and brilliant.

"Ah... A true monster has emerged." Mo Shang took a deep breath, his eyes burning. He was the first to know about Qin Wentian. This sleeping dragon had finally awakened.

"The Imperial Star Academy welcomes your joining." Mo Shang said with a smile, the first to extend an invitation.

However, at this moment, Qin Wentian seemed not to hear. His eyes were only on Bai Qiuxue, a cold smile on his lips. "I want to ask the Bai family, how did I plot against Bai Qiuxue, and what qualifications do you, Bai Qiuxue, have to teach me!"

As he spoke, Qin Wentian took a deep breath, the star primordial energy in his body forming a terrifying vortex, gathering all his strength in his arm, as if it would burst. His fist turned into a heavenly hammer and a soaring dragon, the dragon soaring in the wild, its momentum surging, containing boundless strength. The heavenly hammer and the dragon's incarnation struck the power drum, this was his strongest blow, draining all his strength.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!" Heaven and earth trembled, the drum sound shook the sky, five consecutive strikes, the weather changed, and there was no sign of stopping.

"Boom!" The sixth strike, like the momentum of ten thousand galloping horses, shook the heart.

"Boom!" The seventh strike fell, and the crowd's bodies and hearts trembled simultaneously. This strike matched Bai Qiuxue's record.

More terrifyingly, the aftertones were still there, the drum sound had not stopped.

"Boom!" With the eighth strike, the crowd's ears seemed to lose their hearing, only feeling a strong wind blowing across their faces, striking their faces, while their hearts seemed to be numb. This hurricane also struck Bai Qiuxue's face. Eight drum sounds seemed to slap her face hard, so shocking, so loud.

"In the next round of the assessment, I will show you how wide the gap between us is."

"Our lives are destined to be two parallel lines, never to intersect."

Bai Qiuxue's words still echoed, but at this moment, they were so pale.

"Roar!" A roar sounded, so整齐, the army of the Qin family roared in unison, like a dragon's roar. In this world, it seemed only Qin Wentian's halo existed. Bai Qiuxue's light was completely overshadowed by the eighth drum sound. In terms of talent and strength, she could not compare to Qin Wentian in any way.

Mo Shang's gaze became even more intense. He took a deep breath, a determined look flashing in his eyes, and said, "The Imperial Star Academy has decided to retract its previous words and will not extend an invitation to Bai Qiuxue. Qin Wentian, I, on behalf of the Imperial Star Academy, invite you again, welcome your joining."

The person beside him glanced at Mo Shang, his eyes flashing, and nodded inwardly. Among the two geniuses, Qin Wentian was clearly more brilliant. Now, they were abandoning Bai Qiuxue and choosing Qin Wentian.

"The Imperial Star Academy, because of Qin Wentian, refuses Bai Qiuxue!" This statement made the crowd's hearts tremble again, impacting their souls. Everything that happened today was so dramatic and exciting.
