Qi Yuntian’s words immediately shocked everyone present.
Yuan Qingcheng was also somewhat surprised. He quickly followed into the testing room and indeed did not feel any fluctuation of the flame power, not even a trace.
Yuan Qingcheng was puzzled. By all accounts, it was impossible for there to be an error in this testing hall. How could there be no fluctuation of flame power?
As more people entered the testing room, everyone noticed the anomaly.
“It seems like there really is no fluctuation of flame power in this testing room.”
“What’s going on? Could the testing room be malfunctioning?”
Yuan Qingcheng’s mind began to race. He certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity to suppress Terra Su. Pointing at Terra Su, he accused, “Terra Su, what kind of underhanded trick did you use to cause this testing room to malfunction?”
Terra Su wasn’t having any of it. He sneered, “When someone lasts longer in the testing room, you accuse them of cheating? Is this the so-called logic of you so-called aristocratic geniuses?”
“Still trying to deny it when the evidence is right here.”
Yuan Qingcheng snorted coldly, “Whether you admit it or not, the testing room clearly has issues. Therefore, the results of this competition cannot be counted!”
Yuan Qingcheng’s words seemed fair, but in reality, he was clearly biased towards Qi Yuntian.
Regardless of what happened in the testing room, Terra Su indeed stayed longer than Qi Yuntian and came out with his clothes unruffled and his demeanor calm. The competition was about who could stay in the testing room longer, wasn’t it?
So, from the results, Terra Su undoubtedly won.
But Yuan Qingcheng insisted it was a problem with the testing room, causing a heated discussion among those present.
“Senior Brother Yuan is right, the testing room must have malfunctioned!”
This was undoubtedly the aristocratic students causing a ruckus.
“Just because there’s no fluctuation of flame power now, you conclude the testing room malfunctioned? Isn’t that too hasty? Who can say for sure that there wasn’t tenfold flame power when Terra Su was inside?”
These were the students from humble backgrounds supporting Terra Su.
Hearing Yuan Qingcheng’s words, Terra Su was also quite surprised. Yuan Qingcheng was so shameless, trying to erase his victory with just a few words. It seemed he had overestimated Yuan Qingcheng’s integrity.
However, Terra Su did not get angry. He calmly said, “Yuan Qingcheng, you are in charge of this talent test. Did you not know if there was a problem with the testing room beforehand? Why wait until after the test to claim there’s an issue?”
Yuan Qingcheng snorted coldly, “Of course, I knew there was no problem with the testing room before. So, this just proves that you used some despicable means to break it!”
“Your shamelessness is truly eye-opening,” Terra Su said flatly.
Just as Yuan Qingcheng was about to say something else, a voice inquired from a distance, “What’s all the commotion over there?”
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing the Anyang Academy mentor’s attire walked over.
Yuan Qingcheng quickly turned to the middle-aged man and saluted, “Greetings, Mentor Tian!”
“Mm!”
Mentor Tian walked over slowly, nodded at Yuan Qingcheng, and asked, “What happened here, causing such a ruckus?”
“Nothing much, just that there was a small accident with the testing room during the talent test for these new students,” Yuan Qingcheng quickly replied. He didn’t dare mention the competition between the two new students, as competing during the talent test was technically against the rules.
“Oh, these are the new students from Class D of the upper division?” Mentor Tian asked casually.
“Yes, Mentor Tian,” Yuan Qingcheng replied.
Mentor Tian nodded and scanned the group of new students.
When his gaze fell on Terra Su, he suddenly paused, showing a hint of surprise.
Terra Su met his gaze calmly. The moment he saw Mentor Tian, he recognized him as the mentor who had thrown Situ Ming out of Anyang Academy during the registration queue incident.
Terra Su had no ill feelings towards this mentor, so when Mentor Tian looked at him, he nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Mentor Tian also nodded slightly, his face expressionless, and then turned to Yuan Qingcheng, “Which student’s testing room had a problem?”
“Mentor Tian, it was him,” Yuan Qingcheng pointed at Terra Su, “He stayed in the testing room with tenfold flame power for nearly an hour, yet there was no fluctuation of flame power inside.”
“Tenfold flame power? An hour?”
Mentor Tian was clearly surprised, and his gaze once again fell meaningfully on Terra Su.
Tenfold flame power was something even some senior students in the upper division wouldn’t dare to attempt, yet a new student managed to stay in the testing room for nearly an hour?
“Mentor Tian, I suspect he tampered with the testing room to make the flame power disappear!” Yuan Qingcheng added.
“Tampered with it?”
Mentor Tian pondered. The testing hall wasn’t so easily tampered with. If any new student could tamper with it, Anyang Academy’s reputation would be in shambles.
“I’ll check the testing room myself.”
As he spoke, Mentor Tian walked into the testing room.
Once inside, Mentor Tian frowned and said with displeasure, “There is flame power here.”
“Flame power?”
Yuan Qingcheng was stunned and quickly followed him into the testing room.
A wave of heat hit them, proving that there was indeed flame power in the room!
“How is this possible? There was none just now,” Yuan Qingcheng said incredulously. When he checked the room earlier, there was no flame power. How could there be now?
“Wait, the flame power is very weak, far from tenfold,” Yuan Qingcheng grasped at straws. Although there was flame power now, it was very thin, not even reaching onefold, let alone tenfold.
If the flame power was this weak when Terra Su was inside, it still indicated a problem with the testing room.
Mentor Tian looked around the testing room and touched the ground. Then he said flatly, “There is no problem with this testing room, and it is not broken.”
“It was simply drained of all its flame power.”
“Since all the flame power was completely absorbed, it takes time for new flame power to reach tenfold concentration, so it appears thin now.”
