"Compete in spiritual power?"

Qin Feiyang was stunned. Have these two lost their minds? Or is it that their spiritual power also exceeds Level Ten? Otherwise, where is this confidence coming from?

Seeing Qin Feiyang remain silent, Luo Yi mocked, "What, are you scared?"

Qin Feiyang replied, "I'm not afraid to compete, but there should be a wager, right?"

Luo Yi sneered, "Whoever has lower spiritual power has to crawl around this square on their knees, three times."

"And they must bark like a dog," Yan Shi added.

"This..."

Qin Feiyang hesitated, his confidence wavering slightly.

"If you're scared, just say it."

"No one will laugh at you."

The two of them jeered.

Qin Feiyang gritted his teeth and nodded. "Okay, today I'll play along."

Then he looked at the Commander and City Lord on the steps and shouted, "Commander, City Lord, I have something to say."

"Huh?"

All eyes immediately focused on him.

The Commander said, "Speak."

"Luo Yi and Yan Shi want to compete with me in spiritual power," Qin Feiyang said, cupping his hands. "Whoever loses will crawl around the square on their knees three times, and also bark like a dog. I would like to invite you two gentlemen to be witnesses."

If there was going to be a commotion, he'd make sure it was a huge one!

The surrounding crowd immediately began to buzz, whispering amongst themselves.

The City Lord and the Commander were also somewhat愣神.

"Nonsense!"

"I will not approve such an absurd matter."

"If any of you object further, your qualification will be revoked immediately!"

The Commander, having regained his composure, shouted angrily at the three of them.

The City Lord chuckled. "Actually, I find it quite interesting."

The Commander was taken aback and quickly said, "City Lord, this is against the rules."

"No matter, rules are rigid, but people are flexible."

The City Lord waved his hand, looked at Qin Feiyang, Luo Yi, and Yan Shi, and asked, "Do you three really want to do this?"

Qin Feiyang replied helplessly, "I don't want to, but I have no choice. They insist on challenging me."

"It's not too late to regret it now."

Luo Yi huffed, cupped his hands, and said to the City Lord, "City Lord, Yan Shi and I wish to compete!"

Regret? Qin Feiyang sneered inwardly and nodded at the City Lord.

"Alright, it's settled then."

"Those of you in front, hurry up! Don't delay me from watching the show!" the City Lord ordered.

"COUGH, COUGH!"

The Commander choked on his saliva. He never imagined the City Lord would say such a thing!

He quietly reminded, "City Lord, please mind your image."

"I know, I know, stop nagging." The City Lord waved his hand impatiently.

With the City Lord himself having given the order, who among those in front dared to delay? Besides, they too were eager to watch the unfolding drama.

「Less than an Hour later.」

It was finally Mu Qing and Mu Xue'er's turn.

Mu Xue'er asked in a low voice, "Brother, should I go all out?"

"Yes," Mu Qing whispered in response. "Try to alert the Tower Master."

The siblings each walked to a separate wooden table and placed their hands on the Spiritual Stones.

BUZZ!!!

The two Spiritual Stones vibrated continuously, their light growing increasingly brilliant.

"Huh?"

Qin Feiyang frowned. As expected, these siblings were hiding their true strength!

Simultaneously, Luo Yi, Yan Shi, and the others were utterly astonished.

The City Lord and the Commander also watched the pair with surprise.

BUZZ!!

The Spiritual Stones vibrated again.

That's the ninth time! Do they both possess Level Ten spiritual power? This thought surfaced in everyone's mind.

BUZZ!!

The Spiritual Stone vibrated once more.

But it didn't end there; it vibrated twice more in succession.

Level Twelve spiritual power!

Even the City Lord and the Commander could no longer remain calm.

Qin Feiyang's eyes also flickered with an intense light. The spiritual power he had displayed so far was Level Ten. These siblings had already surpassed him.

BUZZ!

The Spiritual Stone vibrated yet again, releasing a dazzling, eye-catching light!

Level Thirteen spiritual power!

At this moment, the entire square fell silent.

Just then, the siblings swayed slightly and finally withdrew their hands.

Shaking their heads, they simultaneously looked up towards the top of the Elixir Tower, a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

"How deeply have you two been concealing your abilities?" Qin Feiyang murmured. He had never even heard of Level Thirteen spiritual power in State City.

He followed their gaze towards the top of the Elixir Tower. Two individuals with Level Thirteen spiritual power had appeared, yet even this hadn't alerted the Tower Master? Are this person's standards truly that high? Or could it be that the Tower Master isn't even in the Elixir Tower right now?

"This isn't good!" Luo Yi and Yan Shi, having recovered from their shock, exchanged a glance, a trace of worry in their hearts. If this pair of siblings both possessed Level Thirteen spiritual power, then their friend, Xui Ping, surely couldn't be too far behind?

The two of them nudged Shi Yun's back, wanting him to probe Qin Feiyang's capabilities. If they didn't stand a chance of winning, it wasn't too late to back out now.

Shi Yun's eyes glinted. He turned towards Qin Feiyang, cupped his hand in a half salute, and asked with a smile, "May I ask, Brother Xui, are you well acquainted with them?"

"Not particularly," Qin Feiyang said with a faint smile. "We only met after arriving in Sky Thunder City, and have only seen each other a few times."

Hearing this, Yan Shi and Luo Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The City Lord and the Commander also regained their composure, their faces wreathed in smiles.

The City Lord nodded. "Very good. You two are promising talents. You must continue to strive in the upcoming assessments."

Qin Feiyang was taken aback. He had assumed the City Lord would tell Mu Qing and Mu Xue'er that they could skip the remaining assessments and directly enter the Elixir Tower. They were certainly qualified to do so. But unexpectedly, they were merely told to continue striving. The Elixir Tower's assessment process was indeed exacting.

"Thank you for your encouragement, City Lord. We will work hard."

Mu Qing and his sister bowed to the City Lord before turning to Qin Feiyang.

Mu Qing laughed. "Brother Xui, you didn't expect that, did you?"

"Indeed!" Qin Feiyang said, shaking his head and chuckling. "I truly didn't expect that two people who claimed to know only a little about alchemy would actually possess Level Thirteen spiritual power."

Mu Qing gave a faint smile. "Many things are not as they appear on the surface, wouldn't you agree?"

"True," Qin Feiyang nodded.

But inwardly, he was mulling things over. Mu Qing's words seemed to carry a hidden meaning, a subtle implication. Moreover, he noticed that the siblings' expressions were strangely similar to his own; they seemed just as eager to meet the Tower Master.

"Brother Xui, we'll wait for you over there."

"Little sister, let's go," Mu Qing called out to Mu Xue'er, and then they headed to the right.

Luo Yi watched the siblings' retreating backs, his eyes flashing. He turned to Qin Feiyang and said, "Let's begin as well!"

"I shall go first!" Shi Yun declared, stepping forward and placing his large hand on the Spiritual Stone.

BUZZ!!!

The Spiritual Stone vibrated ten times consecutively before Shi Yun finally removed his hand.

Rubbing his temples to clear his slightly muddled head, he turned to face the crowd, offered a cupped fist salute, and said with a laugh, "Please excuse my humble performance."

With that, he also walked off to the right.

"Level Ten spiritual power... they're all quite remarkable!" Qin Feiyang muttered.

After all, in the Holy Temple, only Lu Ziyuan and two others possessed Level Ten spiritual power. Murong Jing was the only one with Level Eleven. Level Twelve and Level Thirteen spiritual power were unheard of. This just goes to show that the overall standard in the Land of Oblivion surpasses that of Spirit State. This place is truly full of surprises. Honestly, he was beginning to feel reluctant to leave.

"You three, stop wasting everyone's time and hurry up and begin!" The Commander swept his gaze over Qin Feiyang, Luo Yi, and Yan Shi, his brow furrowed slightly, clearly displeased.

Qin Feiyang nodded and stepped forward.

Yan Shi and Luo Yi shot him a disdainful glance and also walked to separate wooden tables.

Their three large hands pressed down on the Spiritual Stones almost simultaneously.

BUZZ!!

The three Spiritual Stones vibrated continuously.

Once!

Three times!

Five times!

Seven times!

Nine times!

"They've all vibrated nine times! Could they all possess Level Ten spiritual power?" Everyone stared intently at the Spiritual Stones.

The Commander and the City Lord exchanged glances, a sense of excitement welling up within them. Two with Level Thirteen spiritual power. One with Level Ten. And these three—Xui Ping and his companions—were undoubtedly also of Level Ten spiritual power. So many promising young talents have appeared this time!

By now, Luo Yi and Yan Shi were beginning to feel faint, their spiritual power nearly depleted.

However, when they noticed Qin Feiyang's expression, their eyes filled with utter disbelief!

Qin Feiyang stood there as steadfast as an iron pine, not swaying in the slightest. He showed no signs of spiritual power exhaustion.

"Could he also possess Level Ten spiritual power?" Their minds were in turmoil. They had tested their spiritual power long ago; like Shi Yun, they were both at Level Ten. If Qin Feiyang's Spiritual Stone vibrated one more time, it would be a draw. Even a draw would be an immense humiliation for them.

Soon, the others, including the City Lord and the Commander, also noticed Qin Feiyang's condition. Anticipation flickered in their eyes.

But suddenly!

Qin Feiyang's body swayed, as if he were about to fall.

"HAHA..."

"So you only have Ninth Level spiritual power."

"And here I thought you were so formidable!"

"Trash will always be trash. If you can't hold on, then don't force yourself."

Seeing this, Luo Yi and Yan Shi immediately began to jeer.

The City Lord and the Commander frowned, looks of disappointment on their faces.

The onlookers regarded Qin Feiyang with contempt. If he didn't have the ability, he shouldn't have competed with Luo Yi and Yan Shi. Wasn't this just asking for humiliation?

"What a letdown," Shi Yun sighed inwardly. He too had believed this person possessed formidable spiritual power, but it turned out to be merely Ninth Level. Ninth Level spiritual power might be considered outstanding in the eyes of others, but in his view, it was no different from trash.

Only Mu Qing and Mu Xue'er's eyes sparkled with keen interest. Throughout the entire process, they hadn't spared Luo Yi or Yan Shi a proper glance, their attention fixed solely on Qin Feiyang. They could sense that Qin Feiyang's spiritual power was far greater than what he was currently showing!

"Watch carefully, trash, and see what a true alchemy genius looks like!"

"Don't you dare act so arrogantly in front of us ever again!"

Luo Yi and Yan Shi roared with laughter.

BUZZ!!

Their two Spiritual Stones vibrated simultaneously.

Level Ten spiritual power!

After the Spiritual Stones vibrated, both of them immediately withdrew their arms, their heads spinning and aching. Their spiritual power was completely depleted.

The Commander was just about to announce the results when, at that very moment—

The Spiritual Stone in Qin Feiyang's hand also vibrated fiercely!

"What?"

The entire crowd was dumbstruck. Hadn't his spiritual power been depleted? Why was the Spiritual Stone vibrating? Could there be something wrong with the Spiritual Stone?

Luo Yi and Yan Shi, before they could even shake off their dizziness, heard the sound and immediately looked towards Qin Feiyang. Their eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets!
