Chapter 336: 3 Level Trial

The old mentor looked at everyone's reactions and smiled faintly. He knew that this test was indeed very difficult, but he did it on purpose. He wanted to know whether this young girl Luoshen could withstand such pressure and show her true strength.

Lu Yu, who had been watching silently, smiled at this moment. He whispered to another instructor beside him, "Soul power control is Luo Shen's strong point. The soul power control method I taught her is not worse than that of the old instructor, and is even better in some aspects. I believe that Luo Shen can handle this test."

The instructor looked at Lu Yu in surprise when he heard this, and seemed to not believe what he said. But Lu Yu just smiled faintly and said nothing more.

Luo Shen also felt a huge pressure at this time. She knew that this test was a huge challenge for her. But she did not back down, but took a deep breath and began to gather her soul power.

She slowly raised her hands, palms facing each other, and a light blue light overflowed from her palms. Compared with the light emitted by the old mentor, this light seemed a little weak, but it contained an indescribable tenacity and determination.

Luo Shen closed her eyes and concentrated on feeling the flow of soul power. She tried to decompose her soul power into countless tiny threads, and then weave them together like weaving a net. This process was extremely difficult and required extremely high concentration and control.

As time went by, beads of sweat gradually oozed out of Luo Shen's forehead. Her hands also began to tremble slightly, but she still persisted and did not give up.

Finally, under the gaze of everyone, Luo Shen's soul power began to change. The originally scattered soul power threads gradually became orderly, as if they had spirituality, and began to slowly approach the light of the old mentor.

When the two beams of light were about to touch, the atmosphere in the courtyard reached a climax. Everyone held their breath and watched this scene unfold.

At this moment, Lu Yu, who had been standing at the edge of the crowd, smiled faintly. He looked at Luo Shen, full of confidence. He knew that Luo Shen had already reached a very high level in terms of soul power control. The soul power control skills he taught Luo Shen even surpassed the old mentor's demonstration in some aspects.

"Luo Shen, you can do it." Lu Yu silently cheered for Luo Shen in his heart.

The old mentor looked at Luo Shen with a hint of expectation in his eyes. He said slowly: "Luo Shen, what you need to do is to control the same delicate soul power threads like me and connect them with my soul power threads. This is not only a test of your soul power control ability, but also a test of your will and patience."

Luo Shen nodded, took a deep breath, and began to gather her soul power. She slowly raised her hands, and a light blue light gradually lit up between her palms. In that light, there were also countless soul power threads as thin as hair, which danced slowly in the air, as if echoing the soul power threads of the old mentor.

As Luo Shen released his soul power, the atmosphere in the courtyard became increasingly tense. The students stared with wide eyes at the contest between Luo Shen and the old mentor. Although they could not see the shape of the soul power thread as clearly as the mentors, they could still feel the subtle fluctuations in the air.

Hearing this, Luo Shen curled up a faint smile. She knew that she was not alone. In this courtyard, there were many people who silently supported her.

She took a deep breath and began to control her soul threads more attentively. Under her control, the light blue soul threads gradually became as delicate and stable as the old mentor's soul threads. They slowly intertwined in the air, as if forming a new pattern.

The old mentor looked at Luo Shen's performance with a hint of approval in his eyes. He knew that Luo Shen did have extraordinary talent and strength in soul power control. However, this was not enough. What he wanted was for Luo Shen to fully master this fine soul power control technique and apply it in actual combat.

In the courtyard, Luo Shen successfully passed the two tests set by the old instructor, and her performance opened the eyes of everyone present. The students talked about it and praised Luo Shen's amazing soul control ability, while the instructors were shocked. They had never seen such a young student perform so well.

"It's unbelievable that Luo Shen's control over soul power has reached this level!" exclaimed a middle-aged mentor, his eyes full of admiration for Luo Shen.

"Yes, when we were her age, we were far from this level." Another mentor echoed, with a hint of regret in his tone.

The old mentor looked at Luo Shen with eyes full of love. He slowly stretched out three fingers, and this action made everyone confused.

"Old mentor, what does this mean?" a student asked curiously.

The old teacher smiled slightly, and did not answer directly, but looked at Luo Shen and Lu Yu. Lu Yu and Luo Shen reacted almost at the same time, and Luo Shen asked directly: "Old teacher, do you want me to go through the third level?"

The old mentor nodded, his eyes turned serious. "Yes, this third level will be the final test of your overall strength. I want to see if you can exert your full strength under pressure."

Hearing this, Luo Shen looked calm, with a serious look in her eyes. She knew that this third level would definitely not be easy, but she was already prepared.

"I will pass it, even if it is difficult." Luo Shen said firmly.

The old mentor looked at Luo Shen's determined eyes and nodded secretly. He believed that this young girl had enough strength and perseverance to meet the next challenge.

"Okay, then I will cast a defensive barrier. You can make any move you want. As long as you can break the barrier, you will have passed the third level." said the old mentor, and then he waved his staff. A bright light burst out from the staff, and instantly formed a solid defensive barrier in the center of the courtyard.

This barrier flashed with dazzling light, as if it was an insurmountable gap that separated Luo Shen from her old mentor.

The atmosphere in the courtyard became tense again, and everyone was looking at Luo Shen to see how she would deal with this final test.

Luo Shen took a deep breath, and her eyes became extremely focused. She knew that this third level was not only a test of her strength, but also a test of her will and determination.

She slowly raised her hands, and a light blue light gradually lit up between her palms. The light contained a powerful soul power, like a torrent about to burst out.

"Luo Shen, come on! We believe you can do it!" The students cheered for Luo Shen one after another. Their voices echoed in the courtyard, bringing Luo Shen endless strength.

A faint smile appeared on Luo Shen's lips. She looked at the students gratefully, and then focused her attention on the defensive barrier in front of her again.

She took a deep breath and pushed her hands forward. The light blue light burst out instantly, turning into a fierce soul attack, hitting the defense barrier fiercely. "Bang!"

This happened so quickly that no one could react.

The other students also started discussing, they didn't understand why there was a third level of substantive assessment. Hadn't there been two levels before? What was going on with this one?

"Old teacher, what exactly does this third level mean?" A brave student stepped forward and asked, his tone full of confusion.

The old mentor looked at the surprised and puzzled expressions of the crowd, smiled slightly, and explained: "In fact, this third level is not sudden. In the first level, I have already conducted a preliminary assessment of your character, quality, etc., and the second level is a further test of your strength. As for this third level, it is the final test of your comprehensive strength."

"Ah? So that's it!" Everyone suddenly realized what was going on. They understood that the reason the old mentor set up these three levels was to comprehensively test one's strength, character, and potential.

"Old mentor, you are so thoughtful!" exclaimed a mentor, his eyes full of admiration for the old mentor.

The old mentor smiled and said nothing more. He looked at Luo Shen with his eyes full of expectation. He knew that this young girl had amazing strength and potential. As long as she could pass this third level, her future achievements would be limitless.

"Ah? So that's it!" Everyone suddenly realized what was going on. They understood that the old mentor had set up these three levels in order to comprehensively test their strength, character, and potential.

At this moment, Luo Shen was concentrating on attacking the defensive barrier. Her hands danced quickly in the air, and a series of light blue soul attacks fell on the barrier like raindrops. Each impact made the barrier tremble more violently. Her eyes were firm and focused, as if the whole world was left with only her and the barrier in front of her.

The atmosphere in the courtyard became tense again, and everyone was staring at Luo Shen to see how she would handle this final test. They knew that the outcome of this moment would determine whether Luo Shen could become the old mentor's apprentice, and would also determine her future fate.

Luo Shen took a deep breath. She felt the soul power in her body boiling, as if there was endless power surging. She gritted her teeth and pushed with both hands, concentrating all the soul power in her body into this attack. A bright blue light burst out from her palm, turning into an earth-shattering soul power attack, fiercely hitting the defensive barrier.

"boom!"

A deafening roar was heard, and the atmosphere in the courtyard instantly became boiling. Everyone stared at the defensive barrier with wide eyes. Under Luo Shen's fierce attack, the light on the barrier began to flicker, as if it would break at any time. Luo Shen did not stop. She continued to gather soul power and hit the barrier again and again. Each impact made the barrier tremble more violently.

Finally, after a violent collision, the barrier could no longer withstand the impact and instantly broke into countless pieces, disappearing into the air.

In the courtyard, the air seemed to freeze at this moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Shen and the broken defense barrier. Luo Shen's success was like a thunderclap out of nowhere, shocking everyone present.

"Oh my God, Luo Shen...she really did it!" a student shouted in disbelief, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes shining with excitement.

The other students also started talking, their faces full of surprise and admiration. They had never seen anyone pass the test set by the old teacher so quickly, let alone such a young girl.

"Old teacher, this... is this true? Did Luo Shen really pass the third level?" A brave student stepped forward and asked, his tone full of disbelief.

The old mentor looked at the surprised expressions of the crowd, smiled slightly, and nodded: "Yes, Luo Shen has indeed passed the third level. Her strength and potential are far beyond my expectations."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Luo Shen with admiration. They knew that at this moment, Luo Shen had become the focus of the courtyard, and her strength and potential had been recognized by the old mentor.

Luo Shen looked at the admiring eyes of the crowd, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that her efforts were not in vain, and she successfully passed the three tests set by the old mentor.

She was about to pay respect to the old teacher, but was gently stopped by the old teacher with his spirit power. This action made everyone stunned, and they didn't understand what it meant.

"Old mentor, what are you doing..." Luo Shen asked puzzledly.

The old mentor looked at Luo Shen, with a glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes: "Luo Shen, your performance is indeed outstanding, but this is not enough for you to become my last disciple."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this. They didn't understand why Luo Shen, who had passed the three tests, couldn't become the old master's last disciple?

"Old mentor, what does this mean?" a mentor stood up and asked, his tone full of confusion.

The old mentor looked at everyone and explained slowly, "Becoming my disciple does not mean that you will be my last disciple. Last disciples are the disciples I am most proud of in my life. Their strength and potential are outstanding. As for Luo Shen, although she has passed the three tests, she still needs to go through some small tests to prove whether she is qualified to be my last disciple."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that the old mentor's requirements for his closed disciples were so strict.

Luo Shen looked at the old mentor, with a firm look in his eyes: "Old mentor, I understand what you mean. I will continue to work hard and will not let you down."

The old mentor looked at Luo Shen's determined eyes and nodded secretly. He knew that this young girl had enough strength and perseverance to face the next test.

"Okay, then I'll give you another chance. This test won't be as difficult as the three tests you've experienced before, but it also requires you to complete it with your heart." The old mentor said, and then he waved his staff, and a bright light burst out from the staff, instantly forming an illusory portal in the center of the courtyard.

"This is a portal to a fantasy world. You need to find a treasure I left behind in the fantasy world and bring it back. This treasure is my final test for you. Only when you find it and bring it back successfully can you become my last disciple." The old mentor explained.
