Sensory perception was able to detect the slightest ripples, gaining more information in advance.
Unfortunately, most people were like Stone Wood Cores, with few possessing high Spiritual Vision, and even fewer with high perception.
Yet at such a young age, he had both high Spiritual Vision and high perception, which truly made others envious.
The faces of the three Chief Judges darkened, further solidifying their resolve to prevent him from passing the rating.
Only Rod knew that he was purely spouting nonsense.
The essence of Divine Sense was to grant him Inspiration during the learning process, allowing him to quickly grasp knowledge and skills.
All this talk about sensitivity and perception was sheer nonsense.
Subsequently, the bearded man conducted a test of his Spiritual Energy and issued a report.
Spiritual Power Level: 5
Maximum Spiritual Power Strength: 37,000 units
Maximum Spiritual Energy Output: 7,000 units
Average Spiritual Pressure: 1915
Estimated Total Spiritual Energy: 5110,000 units
Considering his age, these numbers were quite impressive, and considering he had been a Fire Holder for only about half a year, they were even more incredible.
Amidst waves of astonishment, the rating committee announced the start of the rating.
The battle rating consisted of three parts: basic trial, knowledge trial, and live combat trial.
The basic trial mainly tested his fundamental skills, standard tactical movements, footwork, techniques, and use of Spiritual Energy, among others.
During this period, relying on Divine Sense, Rod had solidified his basic skills quite firmly, even capable of instructing newcomers and official members at the base.
Cartwheel, handstand, somersault, Swallow Balance, Jockta Steps, every tactical movement was near perfect.
The four rating committee members glanced at each other, unable to find a single flaw, and reluctantly gave full marks.
It was not until the last item that the rating committee members finally smiled a bit.
This was a large Black Crystal, requiring it to be filled with Spiritual Energy.
However, the crystal had been tampered with; its bottom was leaking, like a bottomless pit that could never be filled, no matter how much Spiritual Energy was poured into it.
In the upper box, Chief Judge Amoli laughed and said, "He’s definitely getting zero for this one."
"After the test, destroy it immediately to prevent anyone from catching on."
"Even if suspected, it can only be clarified in the next rating."
"Hahaha, look at that fool; he’s still channeling energy."
"Does he think his Spiritual Energy is unlimited?"
"Maybe his Spiritual Energy will be drained completely, and he’ll drop dead right there."
But gradually, they could no longer laugh.
Rod’s entire body lit up, his Spiritual Energy enveloping his figure in a surge, pouring into the Black Crystal.
Despite such strong Spiritual Energy being channeled in, the bottom of the Black Crystal never lit up, and anyone with clear eyes could see there was a problem.
Soron shouted angrily, "There’s something wrong with this crystal! Someone is tampering with it!"
A rating committee member coldly asked, "Do you request the test to be halted for inspection?"
Soron was silent for a few seconds, then shut his mouth.
According to the rules, once a rating was interrupted, it would be void, and he must reapply,
with Silan military base already at full capacity, who knew which month the next rating would be.
A thought crossed Soron’s mind: "Someone is targeting Rod!"
It was already impossible to stop now; he could only hope that Rod would score better in the subsequent items.
However, things exceeded everyone’s expectations.
Rod’s Spiritual Energy seemed limitless, wildly pouring into the crystal, and its total had already far exceeded the estimations provided.
At some point, the venue became quiet, everyone’s eyes fixated on Rod.
What they didn’t know was that Rod’s heart was overflowing with joy.
It was perfect timing since I had already prepared ’Awakening’ for unlimited use.
The Void had already borrowed so much Spiritual Energy from me; what’s a little more?
So he furiously used "Awakening," desperately infusing Spiritual Energy, not believing he couldn’t fill it up.
The air began to tremble, the light in the entire training field started to flicker unstably.
Suddenly, a rating committee member exclaimed, "The Spiritual Crystal in the bottom layer of the training field is overloaded!"
"Quick! Stop it now!"
But Rod had already entered a fully focused state, turning a deaf ear.
The ground began to tremble, and the entire Silan military base felt the vibration; the person in charge of Spiritual Energy communication immediately transmitted a message to Training Field No. 7.
"What are you doing? What’s with this massive Spiritual Energy?"
A rating committee member said hurriedly, "Sir, it’s an accident!"
"No matter what kind of accident it is!" the person in charge said, his face ashen, "Stop it immediately! Otherwise, I’ll have you all thrown into the dungeon!"
"Yes, sir!" a rating committee member made a gesture, and another swiftly left the room.
A moment later, the leak under the Black Crystal was forcibly sealed, and the Black Crystal was filled instantly.
The rating committee member immediately declared, "Testing complete, full marks for the basic test."
A logistics personnel quickly dragged the Black Crystal away.
A cold glint flashed in Soron’s eyes as he turned and left the stands.
Rod moved his shoulder blades, feeling that this evaluation was a bit more challenging than he anticipated.
The three Chief Judges exchanged glances, their expressions not looking good.
Levill said with a smile, "No matter. For the next knowledge trial, I’ve specially selected the hardest questions from the past thirty years, all obscure and tricky points with the lowest pass rates. There’s no way he can answer them."
Surprisingly, Rod answered all the questions accurately, including, "What was the turning point of the 1301 Battle of Stone City?"
"The ten different alias of Guardian Fire."
"The thirty-three uses of Spiritual Energy."
"The origin and continuation of Trolian."
"Why is the calendar called the Tesrivian Calendar?"
"The dates and impacts of the two major extinctions in history."
"Please state all sixty Heavenly Phenomena and their derived changes."
The answers were very standard, not a word more than necessary.
The Book of Knowledge is really great, Rod thought gleefully, truly a tool perfect for exams.
Only the last and most important trial remained.
Chief Judge Levill said with a smile, "He’s done for. This is a giant crawler that has devoured five hundred portions of specially made Corrosive Material, which I acquired at great cost. It has now reached a critical state of mutation, its Spiritual Energy boiling and corruption intense. Even if that boy doesn’t die, he will be severely infected."
Krama, looking uneasy, watched the monster rising from the bottom of the fighting area and asked, "Why are there so many flaws on its Spiritual Body?"
Levill said with a laugh, "That’s because its Soul Power has risen too quickly. The Spiritual Energy surged too much in a short time. Don’t worry, some flaws are negligible. Soon we’ll see that kid die miserably..."
A boom, as if coming from the Void, echoed through the venue.
The giant crawler collapsed like a blob of mud, turning to ashes.
From the moment it was released from the Prison Cage, only three seconds had passed.
A dark line entered his chest, and Rod was surprised to find that it had a huge amount of soul, disproportionate to its frail strength.
Soul Without Spirit +123330
Originally, the Demon Dragon had only 360,000 and we, so many of us, had struggled for so long to kill it.
This monster, instantly killed by me, had a third of the Demon Dragon’s soul?
Rod was delighted and licked his lips, asking, "Mr. Examiner, are there any more?"
For some reason, Rod thought the faces of the four rating committee members seemed a bit distorted.
The stands were terrifyingly quiet; even the guards for the evaluation were dumbstruck.
Suddenly, a rating committee member shouted, "Full marks, evaluation concluded."
The other three as if awakening from a dream, quickly gave full marks, wrote comments, and swiftly left.
A few logistics personnel came up, had him sign a few places, completed some procedures, then escorted him out of the training field.
"Eh? That’s it? I passed? Can’t we have a few more?"
