C497 Test
"Please, senior apprentice-brother."
Lu Chen smiled and knew Bu Zhan's thoughts. If the latter's favorite item were to appear on the Auction, then it would definitely be quite expensive. If Bu Zhan wanted to buy such a thing, it would be a huge burden on him.
"Regardless of soul power or physical strength, as long as you hit the blackstone, remember that you only have one chance." The old man felt Bu Zhan's extraordinary aura and reminded him with a smile.
Bu Zhan nodded his head. The soul power within his body surged out and a vigorous aura that was like a tide suddenly appeared. The fluctuations of Half-step Sect Master caused many people in the surroundings to raise their eyebrows.
"Half-step Sect Master!"
"He's already a Half-step Sect Master expert at such a young age, this should be another outstanding disciple of that sect right?"
"If I have this cultivation level, I should be able to make a figure of ninety or so."
… ….
Feeling the oppressing feeling on Bu Zhan's body, many people started to discuss. The Half-step Sect Master realm was not high, but to be able to reach such a level at the age of twenty was definitely not something simple in the future.
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Bu Zhan's soul power surged out, forming a huge palm a few feet in length and ruthlessly smashed towards the black rock. This palm strike even caused a slight distortion in the air, and the energy contained within was hard to look at directly.
Boom!
The hard and sturdy black stone suffered a huge impact, and began to shake the moment the huge palm slammed down. The numbers on the panel beside it suddenly jumped, increasing from one to sixty, and this number was still increasing at an extremely fast speed.
Sixty-five.
Seventy.
Seventy-five.
Eighty!
The number directly broke through the 80-mark, its upward trend slowing down a bit, but it was still strong.
Eighty-five.
Ninety.
Ninety-one.
Ninety-Two
Ninety-three.
Finally, the number stopped at 93!
"Not bad, not bad. Young man, what sect are you from?" Looking at the numbers on the board, even the old man who presided over the test revealed a satisfied expression and took the initiative to ask Bu Zhan.
"I am from the Blue Cloud Sect." Bu Zhan answered honestly. There was a hint of regret on his face. It was difficult for him to break a hundred in a single blow. It seemed like there was no chance for him to get that VIP card.
"So it's actually the Blue Cloud Sect of one of the two great sects of the Northwest. No wonder." The black clothed elder nodded his head, took out a card, and amiably said: "This is our Clear Moon Auction's preferential card. Even though it doesn't enjoy a 20% discount like the VIP card, it still enjoys a 10% discount. Take it."
"Thank you."
Seeing that, Bu Zhan immediately expressed his thanks, even if it was just a 10% discount, this Clear Moon Auction was something that the Imperial City was famous for, and every item being auctioned inside was extremely precious, it could be said that they were all priceless, and it would be of great help to Bu Zhan if the price was reduced by a bit!
"Men, arrange a good seat for this young brother." The old man waved his hand and a waiter appeared. He was about to lead Bu Zhan into the restaurant.
"Wait, I still have a brother to test." Bu Zhan waved his hand.
"Oh?"
"As for the disciples from your sects, I want to broaden my horizons." Hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up and followed Bu Zhan's line of sight to Lu Chen.
Perhaps it was because Bu Zhan's performance had attracted the attention of many people, they looked at Lu Chen with more or less anticipation. They wanted to see how much power the disciples of these sects could display.
After all, the Martial Tao Family of a sect was different from that of the imperial city. It was not because their aptitude was different, but because the sect rarely came into contact with the secular world.
"Junior Brother Lu, I only got a preferential card. Why don't you get a VIP card for me?" Bu Zhan could not help but tease Lu Chen.
"Senior apprentice-brother …"
Lu Chen could not help but smile bitterly.
He took a step forward and looked at the giant, hard black stone in front of him. He felt an abnormal tenacity from within, that the strength testing stone was even larger and tougher than the one he had found in the Blue Cloud Sect back then. In truth, after his cultivation and physical body had a clear breakthrough in the Netherworld Valley, he also wanted to find an opportunity to verify his strength.
However, according to Lu Chen's estimation, if he were to use both his soul power and his physical body's strength, not to mention a Strength Testing Stone, even if it was something hard, he would destroy it completely. Just to be safe, he decided to try using only a part of his physical body's power.
Lu Chen clenched his five fingers into a fist. A majestic blood aura surged in his body. He didn't use any soul power, so the crowd felt that it was a bit strange. The soul power was so thin that it didn't feel like a martial artist at all.
"Hmm?"
"Could it be the Body Cultivator?" The black clothed old man frowned and made a guess in his heart.
"What the hell?"
"Could it be that you don't have the confidence to make a move? What are you talking about? "
Since they couldn't feel much soul power on Lu Chen, some of them were suspicious of his strength. Seeing that he hadn't even made a move yet, they couldn't help but mock him.
Lu Chen was too lazy to care about these sounds. He was just thinking about how much strength he should use to not pierce through this rock. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing to attract too much attention.
Looking at the huge blackstone, Lu Chen took a step forward and punched his fist. Because the fist was very powerful and heavy, a series of sonic booms appeared in the air. Ripples appeared on the surface of the fist, making it look particularly eye-catching.
"Boom!"
This was not a fist, but more like a thunderous strike. The terrifying force of the fist landed on the surface of the black rock, and the seemingly hard rock suddenly began to shake, emitting a loud rumbling sound.
"Look at the panel!"
Suddenly, someone screamed. The numbers on the screen next to the blackstone flashed violently. The speed was even faster than when Bu Zhan attacked, and it even made people worried that it would collapse because of too fast a jump.
Sixty.
Seventy.
Eighty.
Ninety.
In just an instant, the number on the screen had broken through to 90. Moreover, the rate at which it was rising did not slow down at all.
"Crap!"
Lu Chen was suddenly shocked. He felt that his attack was a bit too heavy. His intuition was not wrong. The number on his screen continued to soar past 90.
Ninety-five.
A hundred.
One hundred and five.0
One hundred and ten.
In the end, the screen flashed with the number 110 before exploding with a "peng" sound. At the same time, the huge, hard black rock also exploded with a "hong" sound. A terrifying force swept in all directions.
"How is this possible!"
"Oh my god …"
"A single punch from him shattered this Strength Testing Stone."
… ….
Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have dared to believe it!
"Even a Sixth Heavenly Layer martial dao master couldn't penetrate the Strength Testing Stone, yet it was shattered with a single punch?" The old man stared blankly with his mouth wide open.
"Brat, you are vicious …" Bu Zhan opened his eyes wide and came back to his senses after a long time. He gave Lu Chen a thumbs up.
"I …"
"I'm sorry, my attack was a bit too heavy."
"I'll be more careful next time." Lu Chen smiled bitterly. He had underestimated his own strength.
"Next time?"
Hearing that, everyone looked at Lu Chen as if they were looking at a monster. They all rolled their eyes at him.
