Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along
Chapter 46: Not Awakened
CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 46: NOT AWAKENED
"Ms. Huang, it’s been a while. I didn’t expect it to be you testing Ling Feng’s potential."
Old Li laughed.
The inspector from the Inner Ring City was named Huang Ling.
With her was an acquaintance, unexpectedly, Chen Duling.
"Ling Feng!"
Seeing Ling Feng again, Chen Duling softly called his name.
Ling Feng nodded slightly.
"Mr. Li suddenly appearing at the Ninth Middle School, could it be..."
Huang Ling frowned.
"Delivering an admission contract to Ling Feng."
Old Li laughed.
"What level?"
Huang Ling was curious.
"A-Level."
Old Li replied.
"Oh."
Huang Ling was surprised, while Chen Duling also had her mouth slightly open.
Huang Ling finally looked at Ling Feng and said, "Ling Feng, I am Chen’s mother, and I’m the inspector who came specifically to test if you have awakened your potential."
"Hello, Auntie, I’m sorry to trouble you."
Ling Feng nodded.
In the original owner’s memory, Chen Duling’s mother wasn’t very present, leaving little impression. But Chen Duling’s family being able to move into the Inner Ring City was largely due to her mother.
"Ling Feng, you must cooperate with Ms. Huang for the test. If it weren’t for Chen, we couldn’t have invited her here at all."
Yang Liru reminded.
Ling Feng roughly understood the situation. It seemed that his combat power had increased rapidly, not only puzzling Yang Liru and the others, but also astonishing Chen Duling. For this reason, she persuaded Huang Ling to come from the Inner Ring City to test his aptitude.
According to the regulations of the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance.
When someone shows astonishing talent and cultivation ability, an inspector will be dispatched to check if potential has awakened, to prevent human geniuses from being lost. But the sent inspectors wouldn’t usually reach Huang Ling’s level.
"I understand."
Ling Feng also knew the stakes involved, but knowing how he had progressed rapidly, he understood that this test might lead to disappointment.
Regardless of whether his potential had awakened, with the help of the Coasting Along Fate, his cultivation would advance rapidly, so signing an A-Level contract with Divine Martial University posed no psychological burden for Ling Feng.
He then proceeded to the detection room with Huang Ling.
He sat on a chair connected with multiple electronic instruments.
When his hands were placed on the armrests, two iron rings automatically popped out, clamping onto his wrists. The rings were icy cold, and the chill seemed to penetrate Ling Feng, as if capturing the detailed changes inside his body.
In the detection room, only Ling Feng and Huang Ling remained.
Huang Ling’s gaze was sharp.
As an inspector, first and foremost, she had to possess powerful mental power. Her family could move from the Outer Ring City to the Inner Ring City because she suddenly awakened her mental powers.
In just a few months, she gained formidable mental power.
Not only could she easily locate the hiding spots of alien creatures, but she could also release mental power for long-distance attacks on alien life forms.
Simultaneously, her mental power could assist instruments to test whether humans had awakened potential.
In the Inner Ring City,
she was not only an outstanding inspector who unearthed many human talents with potential, but also a Mental Master proficient in mental techniques.
Not only highly respected but her combat power far surpassed Elemental Martial Artists and even Skin Phase Martial Artists.
Even Old Li from Divine Martial University treated her with courtesy.
This time, being able to come from the Inner Ring City was mainly because Chen Duling had persistently requested, hoping she could personally test Ling Feng. Otherwise, even if the school intervened, inviting her would have been impossible.
Therefore, as a favor to her daughter, and having once lived in the Outer Ring City, she wanted to see how things were and personally came over.
Seeing Ling Feng ready,
using instruments for assistance, Huang Ling’s mental power seemingly followed the icy sensation from the bracelet, entering Ling Feng’s body, probing his condition.
"My mental power can stimulate your flesh and bones, and even awaken hidden potential in your body. When my mental power enters your body, you’ll feel very tired, but you must endure, try to follow the chill to control the qi sensitivity in your body together, and afterward, you’ll have unexpected gains."
Huang Ling reminded.
The nobility of a Mental Master lies in the fact they enjoy the best cultivation and life resources because they can not only unearth geniuses among humans but also use mental telekinesis to awaken potential. Even if no potential awakens, they can help cleanse and refine the human body.
That’s equivalent to consuming several bottles of nutrient liquid.
Ordinarily, Huang Ling wouldn’t expend mental power to give such an opportunity to the younger generation. But Chen Duling had special interest in Ling Feng, and considering Ling Feng might have already awakened potential and signed an A-Level contract with Divine Martial University, Huang Ling decided to baptize Ling Feng with mental power.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she spoke, Ling Feng couldn’t help but lose resistance and quickly fell asleep.
This feeling of exhaustion wasn’t like Hong Lixin’s fast-paced breathing technique causing him to faint from lack of oxygen, rather he fell into a coma feeling utterly drained, as if all his vital force and mental power were depleted.
This coma led Ling Feng into a deep sleep.
"Bang!"
The door of the detection room seemed to burst open with brute force.
Huang Ling emerged with an unpleasant expression.
The test took less than a quarter of an hour in total, and now Ling Feng was in a comatose state.
"Mom, what were the results?"
Chen Duling and the group were waiting at the door.
Old Li was among them.
"He didn’t awaken any potential at all, whether it was mental power or his flesh and bones, nothing showed signs of awakening potential. My mental power was wasted in vain. I’ve never seen someone immediately fall asleep after receiving my mental baptism. His mental power is the weakest I’ve ever seen in a person. It’s impossible for someone like him to be a cultivation genius, much less awaken hidden power, you all misjudged."
Huang Ling said angrily.
Initially, from the footage of the ranking matches and the information provided by Chen Duling and others, she thought she could uncover a new genius for the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, thus earning a reward.
Unexpectedly, it was all in vain.
If she had helped uncover a genius for the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, not only would there be a corresponding bonus, but also a priceless mental potion to replenish the mental power consumed during the test and effectively enhance mental power.
So this trip, Huang Ling, despite seeming reluctant, had high expectations for Ling Feng.
However, Ling Feng not only had weak mental power but his flesh and bones were also mediocre.
Although they were enhanced with the breathing technique, the evolutionary trend wasn’t significant. With Ling Feng’s constitution, becoming an Elemental Martial Artist would be a struggle, let alone surpassing that in the future.
She couldn’t help but glance at Old Li.
An A-Level contract for a student struggling to become an Elemental Martial Artist, how would Old Li explain this upon return?
Old Li silently turned around, quickly withdrawing the contract that was scheduled for submission.
