I Break through Crazily

"Tang Yi? Him? Heh heh?" The Fan Family’s Clan Leader chuckled with disdain but didn’t say anything more, because Wang Zongyao was right in front of them.

Wang Zongyao had given Tang Yi an exemption, which proved he thought highly of him. If they were to speak ill of Tang Yi now, wouldn’t that be questioning Wang Zongyao’s judgment?

If they dared to question the Chief Examiner, wouldn’t they fear him making things difficult for them later?

The people on the high platform were the upper echelons of their respective clans and were all shrewd individuals with years of experience. They understood this simple principle, so whenever the topic of Tang Yi came up, they generally kept their comments brief.

However, the Mu Family Patriarch didn’t seem to want to let the topic die. Seeing the Fan Family Patriarch’s disdain for Tang Yi, the Mu Family Patriarch smiled and said, "Oh, but I have great faith in Chief Examiner Lord Wang’s judgment. Who knows, maybe Tang Yi will give you all a big ’surprise.’ Heh heh."

Upon hearing this, everyone scoffed, paying no mind to the Mu Family Patriarch’s words.

’What kind of surprise could that Big Waste Tang Yi possibly bring?’

’What a joke!’

But when Tang Haotian heard the Mu Family Patriarch’s words, he paused, shooting him a surprised glance.

’Did that old fox from the Mu Family figure it out?’ he thought. ’Impossible! Even I can’t see Tang Yi’s Level, so how could he?’

Despite his surprise, Tang Haotian said nothing. He certainly wasn’t going to reveal Tang Yi’s true strength to everyone present. The whole point of "playing the pig to eat the tiger" was to trap these very people, wasn’t it?

...

At this moment, the remaining members of the Tang Clan also went up for their test.

To everyone’s surprise, even though the Seven-star Battle Master, Tang Xuling, had failed his attempt and couldn’t lift the three-hundred-pound boulder, Tang Wulin and Tang Zhanfeng, who went after him, both succeeded!

Even the youngest of them, the girl Tang Shu, also passed the challenge!

From within her small, delicate body, an incredible power erupted, and she lifted the three-hundred-pound boulder past her chest in one go!

It was simply unbelievable.

This triggered another round of gasps from the audience, and this time, they were even more fervent than before.

A little girl lifting a boulder bigger than herself—it was a mind-blowing sight that left people breathless.

Others needed the strength of a Seven-star or Eight-star Battle Master to pass the challenge, yet Tang Shu, this little girl, was only a Three-Star Battle Master. It was astonishing that she had succeeded too!

Who would have thought that the gentle and well-behaved Tang Shu had a great tiger hidden inside her, possessing such immense Power.

This was something not even Tang Yi had expected.

Tang Shu’s success made Tang Xuling, who had failed earlier, flush red with shame. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into and hide.

’A little girl succeeded, but a grown man like me failed. How is that right?’

’If I’d known, I would have tried harder! I should have lifted it even if it killed me!’

Tang Xuling couldn’t help but feel regret.

But regret was useless now. Tang Xuling was destined to have no affiliation with the West Mansion.

Seven members of the Tang Clan had entered the qualification exams. In this first round, excluding Tang Yi, a total of six participated, and five of them successfully advanced to the second round!

This result truly brought great honor to the Tang Clan, and Tang Haotian couldn’t stop smiling on the high platform.

Although the Tang Clan wasn’t the most outstanding, this result was already quite satisfactory.

After a full day of trials, the first round, the Power test, finally concluded with one hundred and eighteen people passing.

Out of more than a thousand examinees, just over a hundred passed. A success rate of one in ten—the elimination rate was staggering.

Besides the five from the Tang Clan who advanced, Su Jian and Fan Chun, two people who had a grudge against Tang Yi, also entered the second round without any surprise.

And after entering the second round, they intentionally yet casually glanced in Tang Yi’s direction, shooting him looks of disdain.

In response, Tang Yi could only smile.

「The first day of the exam thus came to an end.」

「The next day, the second round of the exam began.」

The second round was a test of endurance.

Today’s test would proceed rather quickly, as all one-hundred-plus people would be tested simultaneously.

These one-hundred-plus individuals had to withstand the immense pressure released by a Battle Spirit for five minutes. As long as they lasted for five minutes, they would pass this round.

Because the rules stipulated that those with exemptions must also be present, Tang Yi was, unsurprisingly, standing with Fan Wei and the others in the observation area for those exempt from the test.

Fan Wei and his group continued to glare at Tang Yi with annoyance, and the audience’s gazes toward him were still filled with contempt.

But Tang Yi, as before, simply stood there holding Little Tiger, calm and unruffled, completely indifferent to their stares.

Amidst this atmosphere of mutual glares, the second round of the West Mansion Branch qualification exam began!

The examiner for the second round’s endurance test was a Five-star Battle Spirit from the West Mansion named Wang Yu. It seemed he was from the Wang Clan of Celestial Extinction City, the same clan as Wang Zongyao.

To the examinees, Wang Yu’s strength was immense.

He simply stood in the center of the arena, and without even releasing his aura, all the examinees already felt their bodies grow as heavy as lead.

This second round, it seemed, would not be so easy. A large number of participants were likely to be eliminated once again.

"Is everyone ready? I’m about to begin!" Wang Yu shouted the reminder from the center of the arena.

He had to give them a warning, otherwise, when he unleashed his full aura, some unprepared participants would collapse and be eliminated immediately.

For a Battle Master to withstand the full aura of a Battle Spirit Powerhouse was an incredibly difficult task.

"Ready!"

The one-hundred-plus examinees roared in response, tensing their bodies and bracing themselves fully.

Hearing their response, Wang Yu sank into his stance, clenched his fists, and unleashed his aura.

At that moment, Wang Yu’s hair began to move without any wind, and his entire demeanor changed. Before the examinees’ eyes, he became like a Celestial God. An invisible, intangible Power seemed to radiate from his body, and upon feeling it, one couldn’t help but feel the urge to kneel and kowtow.

Wang Yu was extremely experienced; it was clear he had released his aura like this more than once.

He controlled his aura, confining it to the area of the arena, so it didn’t affect the spectators in the audience. As a result, the audience couldn’t feel the pressure the examinees were under and continued to watch the test with cheerful interest after it began.

The examinees, however, were not having such an easy time.

When Wang Yu’s aura erupted, their already heavy bodies suddenly sank further, as if a great mountain had collapsed and was pressing down on them, making it incredibly difficult to even stand up straight.

It had only just begun, yet nearly ninety of the one hundred-plus examinees were already bent at the waist, unable to stand straight. A few of the weaker ones were even trembling faintly, their legs wobbling, looking as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

The oppressive might of a Battle Spirit Powerhouse’s aura was on full display; even when facing over a hundred people, it could still make their legs tremble and bring them to their knees.

In truth, Wang Yu’s Control Power over his aura wasn’t actually perfect. Although he had a great deal of Experience and confined his aura to the vicinity of the arena, keeping it from spreading to the audience, a portion of it still diffused into the area where Tang Yi, Fan Wei, and the others were standing...
