I Have Seven Dragon Souls In a cultivation world

Chapter 103 - Strength Test

The only difference is that now Dante's body was incomparable to what it was all those months ago.

before, the amount of pressure his body could now take was on a different level than before, but this also meant that the strength it could release was worlds above the level before.

"Ahh..." Dante let out a calming breath before making a move

suddenly the ground underneath his feet cracked from the explosive power generated from his feet.

Instantly, Dante's body hurtled towards the wall 

"BANG!"

A deafening explosion rang out as Dante's fist connected with the metal wall

the other examiners were by to cover their ears from the sound of the collision

"Go...Gold! You got gold, you've passed!"

Even though he was the one announcing it, the examiners could barely believe his eyes.

but as if that wasn't shocking enough for the examiner, a new change happened 

"Crack! Crack!"

Slowly but surely, fractures started appearing in the wall used to measure the strength of the attacks 

eventually the crack grew so large it completely cut the wall in two.

"Impossible!! What ridiculous amount of strength is needed to crack the trying to wall!"

'No, I need to tell the principal about this right now!'

instantly the examiner got into action.

"For those of you who have passed the test, please move onto the next test.

For those of you still yet to have do the strength test, move on to the next hall and explain the situation. I'm sure they quill understand!"

After giving out those instructions, the examiner didn't stay another second and quickly fled the scene.

Dante slowly walked away from the destroyed wall.

As he walked, the looks of all the examinees on his back like he was some mutant creature. Every time he turned to look at a person who was staring, they quickly avoided eye contact. 

Seeing as he could do nothing about it, Dante decided to ignore all the strange looks and head to the next stage

...

back in the room, Vincent practically couldn't believe his eyes and asked,

"Jarred... your grandson, how old is he?"

"Well, from my knowledge, he shouldn't be any older than 15."

"15! His strength is that ridiculous at the age of 15!

Jarred your lineage has given birth to an absolute monster, his strength can only be explained by a special physique. Jarred, you realise how rare that is!!"

"I don't care about how rare it is Vincent, what I care about is whether it's enough to make him a dragon son of your Department of War and Combat?"

Hearing this, Vincent had to cough in embarrassment

"Erm...We'll Jarred, it's still to early to decide physical strength is still only a small aspect of cultivation.

You have to remember in the long run what we cultivate is energy, not the body, so his spirit energy affinity is what has to be tested."

"Humph! Whatever Vincent, just be warned his talent in that department isn't any weaker. Hell, I would say it's even stronger!"

Hearing Jarred's words, Vincent just couldn't believe it.

A talent that crazy shouldn't even exist, but just the thought of pulling in a talent that crazy into his department caused a greedy smile to appear on Vincent's face.

Vincent just couldn't believe Jarred's claims, but he also just couldn't wait to be proven wrong 

...

The next section of the entrance test was a simple test. It was a test of talent also known as spirit energy affinity 

After walking down a designated path for a few minutes, Dante finally came to the new section.

it was open plain platform, and in the middle of it was a strange device.

the device had a small crystal ball connected to strange tower like structure.

But before Dante could focus on trying to decipher this strange structure, his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someone speaking.

looking up, Dante saw a man stood beside the strange device which he assumed to be the examiner for this next stage.

unlike the last examiner, this one had a much kinder aura about him as a gentle smile remained on his face the whole time.

"Hello examinees, I hope your day is going well.

Well, since you made it to this stage, you must have at least passed the strength test, so something must be going well for you."

Despite the examiner's friendly approach, all he received was a chilly silence from the crowd.

These were the tests to get into The Hidden Dragon Academy, the most prestigious organisation in the kingdom. Nobody had time to be friendly and relaxed.

For most people, they had to treat every test like their life depended on it to just have a hope of passing the entrance tests! 

"I guess I'll take that silence as if nobody is having a good day then...

Well, luckily for you guys, this stage is one of the easier stages of the entrance tests. It's simply a test of your talent.

Talent can have many different names, aptitude, energy affinity or even, potential.

Talent has countless words that could be used to describe it but regardless of its various names, this stage will be testing just that.

For this test, all you will do is place your hand on the crystal ball in front of you and the device will light up in a certain colour depending on the talent.

Red is poor talent 

orange is a common talent

Yellow is a rare talent 

purple is an extraordinary talent 

And gold...

well, that's just like the previous assessment, talent practically unheard of

unlike the last exam, you won't be eliminated based on the talent you have but a poor talent can mark you down, causing you to be eliminated if you underperform in the tests after this.

let's get started then.

First person come up!"

instantly, a young man emerged from the crowd and confidently walked up towards the device.

He slowly placed his hand on the device and as he did, the device seemed to light up in a colour

"Yellow!"

shouts of surprise sounded out from the crowd as they watched the first person pass the test with above average results.

"Yellow, rare talent, you can move on now!" 

After hearing the examiner speak, a smile finally appeared on the face of the young man as he moved to the side.

"Next!"

Soon, the next contestant walked up onto the device and placed his hand on it.. Seeing as the first person's test went so well, he was hopeful that his could also do the same.
