Before participating in the trial, Bu had already made up his mind. He wanted to create a shockwave that would resonate throughout the Holy Light Academy and shake the entire Dysia Kingdom. For a century, no one had been able to claim the title of champion, and this time, he aimed to seize it all at once. He wanted all the high-ranking elders of the Holy Light Academy to focus their attention on him, so that he could conveniently implement his next plan.
Now, it seemed that this shockwave was already beginning to stir; at least at this moment, everyone in the square in front of the Holy Light Academy was paying attention to one person—a new student named Brent.
On a temporary platform, all ten elite students of the Holy Light Academy were gathered. In the third seat on the left sat a pale-faced young man with a straight nose and slightly thin lips. His dark eyes sparkled with a hint of cruelty.
He was Kaibo, Kathy's older brother and one of the Top Ten Silver Stars of the Holy Light Academy. Even among the Top Ten Silver Stars, his strength ranked within the top five, possessing High-Level 7 capabilities.
"What’s this? I heard you’ve been causing trouble for a new student recently. That unfortunate Fellow wouldn’t be that kid we just saw, would he?" Beside him, a fair-skinned man with delicate features chuckled lightly, glancing at the scene now displayed within the Light Barrier, his expression somewhat intriguing.
His name was Mordo, known for being difficult among the Top Ten Silver Stars. He was solitary and unpredictable, and his strength was not to be underestimated; even Kaibo was reluctant to offend him easily.
"That Brent has some potential but is too arrogant. Hmph! He’s from my hometown, Kaibo. If you want to deal with him, it’s better to keep a low profile," another voice chimed in. The speaker was a proud young man dressed in a light blue robe sitting in a central position.
This proud young man was Golan, the leader of their group. As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the indifferent young man sitting beside him, as if feeling some trepidation.
Not only him; even Kaibo and Mordo, who were usually arrogant, exchanged glances when Golan mentioned Brent and instinctively ended their conversation.
Brent's reputation was well-known not only within the Holy Light Academy but throughout the entire Dysia Kingdom. In just ten years since entering the Holy Light Academy, he had risen from Intermediate Level to reach the pinnacle of High-Level 7. There were even rumors that his current strength had reached High-Level 8 but remained concealed from others.
The indifferent young man sitting next to Golan appeared ordinary and unremarkable; his demeanor was reserved and nothing stood out about him. If one had not seen him before, no one would suspect that this seemingly average young man was indeed Brent—the second strongest Fellow among the Top Ten Silver Stars of the Holy Light Academy—who even proud individuals like Golan deeply respected.
The fierce battle between Bu and Reuben attracted much attention. Some were shocked, some were in awe, while others looked on with eager eyes, calculating how they might extend an olive branch after the trial.
This event swept across the entire Dysia Kingdom; all new students participating in the trial were selected elites from various countries with limitless potential for their futures. Not only heads of Major Forces but even members of the Dysia Royal Family placed great importance on this batch of young talents. Bu's sudden emergence not only showcased his potential but also highlighted his astonishing capabilities.
It was almost obvious: how could an Intermediate Level warrior easily kill two opponents of the same rank without utilizing most of his abilities? How could he fight above his level and force Reuben into retreat?
"He's definitely a prodigy; he must have opened more than sixty Acupoints within him."
This was a shared speculation among those with keen insight as they gasped in astonishment.
To judge a warrior's future prospects is not based on their cultivation speed or actual combat power but rather on how many Acupoints they can open beyond standard limits after breaking through.
Holy Light Academy Top Ten Silver Stars, each individual must have opened at least sixty Acupoints before breaking through to Intermediate Level 4. Among the current Top Ten Silver Stars, the record holder for the most Acupoints opened is Bin.
Bin, who opened sixty-nine Acupoints during his Intermediate Level days, has demonstrated strength that is well recognized by everyone in Holy Light Academy and even throughout the Dysia Kingdom. He has now opened a total of seventy-five Acupoints, and if this were to spread, it would surely cause quite a stir.
"That fellow named Brent has quite a bit of potential, Old Fan. Since he seems to be close to you, what do you think of him?" At another high platform, the elder with a white beard, who presided over the trial, smiled as he looked at Van Lao sitting beside him and asked.
Van Lao was half-asleep when he was startled awake by the old man. He rolled his eyes and replied irritably, "That kid just tried some medicine with me a few times. What do you mean by being close? I don't know."
"Oh~ If you weren't close, would you give him precious Body Refining Potion? If I’m not mistaken, that scent should be from the Body Refining Potion made with Azure Star Grass as the main ingredient. You even gave him a massage; how can you say you're not close?" The old man reminisced while chattering on, becoming increasingly agitated.
"Alright, alright, fine! You’re impressive; your nose is still so agile," Van Lao said helplessly, yawning and glancing at the square Light Barrier. He continued, "I only thought his potential was good and decided to give him a little boost. You know, his physique seems a bit special, but I didn’t ask about it. Also, his Mental Power seems strange—sometimes strong, sometimes weak... oh, and."
As he spoke, Van Lao seemed to become more interested. He leaned closer and whispered in the old man's ear, "That kid has already opened more than seventy Acupoints."
"Poof! Poof! Poof!"
A series of strange sounds erupted from the other elders who were either sitting upright or pretending to chat while actually straining to listen. They all choked on their tea in disbelief.
"More than seventy Acupoints? Old Fan, are you feverish?"
"Yeah, more than seventy Acupoints? How is that possible?"
"You’re the one who’s feverish; your whole family is feverish." Van Lao had initially wanted to show off but was suddenly questioned and lost his temper.
"Alright, alright! What’s there to argue about? Whether it's true or not will be clear after the trial ends. Once that kid comes out, we can test him and see. If it's true... well then our Holy Light Academy will have gained an astonishing student—one comparable to Bin or even a prodigy like Wang Chao from a century ago."
The white-bearded elder finally came back to his senses and saw Van Lao preparing to show off again. He smiled wryly and tried to calm him down. In the end, he stroked his beard with an expression full of anticipation.
At this moment, within the Holy Light Secret Realm, after collecting Misty Cloud Grass, Bu's points rose to twelve. Each Misty Cloud Grass was worth seven points; it was indeed quite a rare treasure.
In addition to that, from the Storage Bracelets of a deceased man and woman, Bu discovered two other types of treasures native to the Holy Light Secret Realm. Together these two treasures added up to six points. After collecting them, his total points reached eighteen.
Along the crack in the rock wall, Bu continued to delve deeper for a while, extending his Mental Power to search within the fissure. However, he found nothing and jumped down from the rock wall with a hint of disappointment.
His ranking had now risen to 11th place, and the number of new students in the entire trial area had sharply decreased from the initial 87 to just 1. With such a drastic reduction in numbers, it seemed stable now, indicating that this one person had firmly established themselves in this unfamiliar trial environment. The real competition and struggle began at this moment.
"It seems that the theme of this trial is not about who can gather resources faster, but rather who can be ruthless enough. Compared to simply gathering materials, it is evidently much easier and quicker to forcibly take the labor results of others. Of course, this ease varies from person to person."
As he pondered silently, Bu was about to leave when he suddenly froze, his gaze drawn to a corner on his left where a peculiar Shadow Creature was staring at him with eyes as small as green beans. The Contract Mark on its forehead appeared somewhat dim.
"Surprisingly, it hasn't left yet," Bu said in surprise. After thinking for a moment, he stepped closer to the strange Shadow Creature.
Noticing Bu's approach, the Shadow Creature let out a threatening low growl, its eyes filled with hatred and hostility.
"It seems this Fellow holds a grudge," Bu Qing chuckled, waving his hand to indicate he meant no harm as he continued to approach the Shadow Beast.
A sharp screech suddenly erupted from the Shadow Beast. It seemed desperate, its green bean-sized eyes blazing with fury. With eight sharp claws digging into the ground, its slender body shot forward towards Bu.
However, this time its speed was noticeably reduced due to its injuries. Bu could even see its specific movements during the sprint; those eight claws retracted and extended above its head like the tentacles of a giant squid, forming a sharp thrust that glinted with Cold Light, looking quite lethal.
