Was Shaximo an idiot?

He was not!

Therefore, he was certain that when it came to the cell tissue activity test, he would absolutely surpass Gao Neng—and by more than just a little bit.

’I will endure!’ Shaximo’s face stung, but he was a candidate to be the future Sect Leader of the Esoteric Sect. His greatest skill was maintaining a mind as calm as still water.

’Calm Mind Spell!’

’Calm Mind Spell!’

Shaximo chanted it a few times in his mind.

Then, he felt his state of mind instantly expand, as if a raging river had suddenly transformed into a placid lake.

The thousands of years of the Esoteric Sect’s legacy was truly no joke.

Confidence returned to Shaximo’s face, his heart filled with passion.

’Fight!’

’I will absolutely not lose!’

Next, it was naturally Wei Ya and Zhou Jin’s turn for the bone test.

As geniuses ranked in the top three of the Dragon List, Wei Ya and Zhou Jin hadn’t refined their bones like Shaximo, but they had both reached the Tier Six Late Stage.

Their bone magnetization was already complete.

So, naturally, their test results would not be too low.

Wei Ya’s skull strength was 5.89, his upper limb and chest bones were 6.02, and his lower limb bones reached 5.95. His results were considered quite formidable.

However, his strength lay in his upper limb and chest bones. Clearly, most people magnetized their upper limb and chest bones first, as it was the fastest way to increase attack power and Defense Power.

Zhou Jin was slightly weaker than Wei Ya in terms of bone strength, but his scores were more balanced: a skull strength of 5.77, upper limb and chest bones at 5.81, and lower limb bones at 5.80. None of the values were far apart.

Then, the third group’s scores also came in, and they were quite good.

When it was time for Shen Ning’Er from the fourth group to begin her test, the atmosphere grew noticeably more tense. After all, her performance in the previous test had been far too impressive.

Shen Ning’Er walked up.

As she passed by Gao Neng, she gave him a look that said, ’I know what you did, but I’m not telling.’

Gao Neng wasn’t the least bit flustered.

He returned a look of his own that said, ’If you don’t say anything, I don’t know anything.’

Shen Ning’Er didn’t linger by Gao Neng’s side. She quickly made her way to the testing machine, her expression perfectly calm.

The numbers appeared quickly.

Skull Strength: 7.53.

An uproar swept through the room.

The entire audience cried out in amazement the moment the number appeared.

Everyone familiar with Shaximo knew he was a successor of the Esoteric Sect and possessed a special method for refining bones. But Shen Ning’Er? She had nothing of the sort!

And yet, relying solely on her own power, Shen Ning’Er’s skull strength had actually reached 7.53?!

That was equivalent to the bone strength of a High Tier Mid Stage expert!

It was barely any different from Shaximo’s!

’...’ Gao Neng was also a bit surprised when he saw the number. ’That little minx, Shen Ning’Er... how can she be such a monstrous genius?’

Then, the numbers for Shen Ning’Er’s upper limb and chest bones appeared.

Upper Limb and Chest Bones: 7.48.

This naturally drew another round of astonished cries from the onlookers.

This meant that not only her skull, but her upper limb and chest bones were also incredibly strong. Barring any surprises, Shen Ning’Er’s entire skeleton was at the level of a Tier Seven Mid Stage expert!

"Sister Ning’Er, you’re amazing!" Fang Tangtang was naturally ecstatic.

But Gao Neng was a bit surprised.

He instinctively felt that the skull score should have been the lowest.

’But Shen Ning’Er’s skull score is higher than her upper limbs and chest bones? What’s the logic behind that?’

’That’s right, Shen Ning’Er said there was something different about her brain! That must be why. She probably prioritized magnetizing her skull.’ Gao Neng quickly figured it out.

At the same time, the number for Shen Ning’Er’s lower limb bones appeared.

Lower Limb Bones: 7.51.

Gao Neng looked at the number and knew his guess was correct; the strength of her lower limb bones was also lower than her skull’s.

The surrounding cries of amazement were endless.

"Shen Ning’Er really is powerful!"

"All of her scores surpassed Wei Ya and Zhou Jin. It looks like Shen Ning’Er is the one most likely to take the top spot on the Dragon List in the future!"

"Exactly, and most importantly, she’s only eighteen!"

Whether it was the sects, the prominent families, or the Military Department, no one questioned Shen Ning’Er’s talent.

The reason was simple.

Although Shen Ning’Er was part of the Military Department, the Shen Family was itself a great family with immense power in the Alliance, a trait they shared with the other prominent families.

In fact, the same was true for Fang Tangtang.

Basically, no one held any animosity toward Fang Tangtang.

However, as Shaximo listened to the chorus of praise for Shen Ning’Er, his once-calm state of mind began to ripple again.

After all, his bone strength was actually higher than Shen Ning’Er’s.

By all rights, that praise should have been his. But what happened instead? Because of Gao Neng, not only did he receive no praise, but he was left with a burning sting of shame on his face.

’It’s really...’

’So infuriating!’

Then, after a long wait, Fang Tangtang’s test results were also out.

Bone Strength!

Fang Tangtang’s skull strength reached 6.52, her upper limb and chest bones reached 6.48, and her lower limb bones reached 6.63.

These numbers were once again shocking.

This was because Fang Tangtang had only just entered Tier Five and hadn’t even had time to begin magnetization, yet her bone strength had already reached such a level.

It was even higher than that of Wei Ya, the second-ranked on the Dragon List!

"Fang Tangtang’s bone strength is actually this high?!"

"Unbelievable!"

"Could it be the Fang Family also has some Secret Technique for bone cultivation?"

The disciples from the various sects and prominent families wondered among themselves.

Meanwhile, Fang Tangtang’s face was a mask of pride.

"I, Death God Fang Tangtang, am a super genius after all! Hahaha..." Her unrestrained laughter echoed through the research institute once more, grating on the nerves of Shaximo and the others.
