"I wonder if Senior Brother Qin Tian is single, I'm single too..."

"Tsk tsk, although he's a Left Pulse disciple and of slave origin, he's still an Inner Sect disciple. Moreover, he defeated Huang Wu and is now quite famous in the Qilin Mountain Sect. So many beautiful Inner Sect female disciples secretly admire him, how could it be the turn of us Outer Sect disciples..."

Qin Tian used his keen hearing to listen to the pointless chatter of the female disciples around him, thinking they were discussing something else, only to realize it was about him!

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile lightly. It seems that in this world, strength truly rules.

When he had nothing, no one knew him or paid him any attention.

But now, after barely defeating Huang Wu, just a small fry, the Qilin Mountain Sect's female disciples are swooning at the sight of him. It's truly incredible!

"From today onwards, I will gradually give everyone a surprise!"

At this moment, Qin Tian further resolved his determination.

After standing in line for half an hour, Qin Tian finally arrived at the first test, the strength test.

In a spacious room, a tall golden-bronze ancient bell was placed in the center, quite conspicuous.

Before the bell was a white starting line, and forward, there were one-meter, two-meter, three-meter, up to five-meter markings.

The disciples in the assessment handed in their forms to the recording disciple one by one, then took turns testing their strength. Each person had only one chance to punch the bell and make it move.

If the bell could move three meters away, it was considered a pass. If not, they would be directly eliminated and sent back.

"Wow, this bell must weigh at least a few hundred pounds."

"Hehe, not just that, it's said to be twelve hundred pounds."

"Hiss, that heavy? How far can one punch move it? I feel like three meters is a stretch."

"We're here, might as well try. I moved it just under two meters last time."

Behind Qin Tian, a few disciples whispered, but he merely glanced at the bell, then closed his eyes, resting.

Ahead of Qin Tian were a male and female Outer Sect disciple.

The male disciple went up first, circulated True Qi, and punched the bell fiercely. The bell let out a "hum," and slowly began to move forward, but stopped right at two meters!

The male student looked disappointed.

"Wang Chao, two meters, assessment failed, eliminated!" Announced the assessment disciple.

The male disciple walked back dejectedly and said to the female disciple behind him, "Junior Sister, you can do it. I think you need to unleash your strength all at once, don't hesitate, good luck!"

The female disciple, in her twenties, nodded to the male disciple, walked forward, and took a deep breath.

The assessment disciple returned the bell to its original position and announced, "Next, Zhang Jing."

The female disciple nodded silently, then circulated True Qi, clenched her right fist, and after three seconds, punched fiercely at the bell!

The bell quickly moved 1.5 meters, then slowed down gradually, finally stopping at 2.3 meters.

"Zhang Jing, challenge failed, eliminated!"

The assessment disciple shook his head as he announced, then returned the bell to the start position once more.

"Next, Qin Tian..."

When the assessment disciple announced Qin Tian's name, he paused, unable to resist casting a curious glance at Qin Tian. Clearly, this disciple remembered Qin Tian from the previous Book Pavilion square competition for books.

Qin Tian took two steps forward, with many disciples around covertly whispering while observing him. Then, as if on cue, they quieted down, leaving only a few scattered whispers.

"Do you think Qin Tian can pass?"

"Ha, of course! If he can defeat Huang Wu, how is this 1200-pound bell a challenge?"

"Maybe not. Fighting is one thing, and a strength assessment is another. I'm not so sure."

Bang!

Just as those tiny voices were discussing, Qin Tian, without saying a word, had already punched the bell!

The bell emitted a dull sound, then, in the onlookers' eyes, it glided out as if flying!

Thud!

The bell, sliding out quickly, surpassed all markings and directly hit the wall of the room!

The noise reverberated throughout the room, causing many hearts to skip a beat. Then, one by one, they stared at the bell against the wall, utterly astonished!

The five-meter mark was meaningless before Qin Tian!

Qin Tian punched the bell against the wall; the distance was at least eight meters!

And, if it hadn't hit the wall, it would probably have gone even further!

"My goodness... this distance is terrifying!"

"Heavens, what kind of power is this? I've never seen anyone punch the bell all the way to the wall. This... is insane!"

"Freakish strength, testing power with this kind of reserve seems ridiculous?"

"Wow, I knew Qin Tian could do it, indeed, so cool!"

After Qin Tian punched, everyone seemed somewhat dumbfounded, even the assessment disciple, who stood dazed for half a minute before noting Qin Tian's result.

"Qin Tian, well... eight meters, this result breaks records, pass!"

The assessment disciple was astonished as he looked at Qin Tian, even his gaze carried admiration.

However, this result was within Qin Tian's expectations. Strength had always been his forte, and having broken through to the late stage of Qi Refinement, this test was no challenge.

So, after the assessment disciple recorded the result and stamped it, Qin Tian took the paper and walked through the room to the next test, his expression as calm as ever, causing the surrounding female disciples to gush with starry eyes, exclaiming "Wow, he's so cool!"

The venue for the second test was set in a square behind the building.

The square was 500 meters long, with a six-meter-high stone tablet at the far end. Participants had to run from one side of the square to the other and then use Qinggong to leap to the top of the stone tablet, retrieve a red flag perched on top, and run back to the starting point. Passing under fifteen seconds meant passing the test; over fifteen seconds meant elimination.

This round tested not only running speed but also the continuity of Qinggong and leaping speed.

In front of Qin Tian were three participants, two of whom were eliminated with times over twenty seconds, while another young man barely passed under fourteen seconds.

"Next, Qin Tian."

The assessment disciple called out Qin Tian's name while looking at the registration form handed in by Qin Tian. Seeing the record-breaking result "eight meters" from the first test, his eyes lit up incredulously with burgeoning excitement!
