"I'm at the Spirit Domain realm, yet I'm receiving the same number of points as him? That doesn't seem very fair," Lan Fuozi complained.

"My apologies, Your Majesty; we'll report this to our higher-ups right away to see if the result can be adjusted. Please move on to the next examination, we'll contact you as soon as a verdict is reached," a worker said in an extremely polite manner.

Spirit Domain realm spiritual power indicated that Lan Fuozi was definitely going to be able to become a Hyper Douluo, and perhaps even a Limit Douluo in the future. Countless Hyper Douluos in history had been unable to break through the Limit Douluo bottleneck due to insufficient spiritual power, yet this wasn't going to apply to Lan Fuozi.

In particular, many of the female employees were staring at Lan Fuozi with glowing eyes.

His future was truly limitless!

Tang Wulin had received a perfect score for all five examinations thus far, but he had been completely outshone by Lan Fuozi's spectacular display of spiritual power.

Even Qiangu Dongfeng had been alerted to this astonishing result.

"What? There's a Titled Douluo level Sea Soul Master at the Spirit Domain realm?" Qiangu Dongfeng's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.

He was very confident in Qiangu Zhangting, but such a formidable foe was going to present a huge threat to Qiangu Zhangting.

Gu Yuena consoled in a gentle voice, "There's no need to be concerned, Chairman; the final choice lies in my hands."

Qiangu Dongfeng shook his head in response. "No, Zhangting needs to win this event fair and square. Otherwise, there's no point in holding this event. Spirit Domain realm spiritual power doesn't mean everything; I'm sure Zhangting will be able to take care of things for himself."

Gu Yuena nodded in response and didn't say anything further.

"Gather all of the information you have on this Lan Fuozi and give it to me as soon as possible," Qiangu Dongfeng instructed.

Tang Wulin was naturally unaware of the fact that Lan Fuozi had become the center of attention for Qiangu Dongfeng due to his display of spiritual power.

If he were aware of this, he would be quite pleased as the attention placed on Lan Fuozi would diminish the amount of attention placed on him, which was definitely a good thing in these early stages.

"I finally beat you!" Lan Fuozi gloated with a wide smile. During the past few examinations, Tang Wulin had constantly been beating him, and he was finally exacting some revenge!

Tang Wulin replied in a cold voice, "It's only a matter of time before I get to the Spirit Domain realm as well."

Lan Fuozi chuckled, "But you haven't made it yet, have you? It's ok to be envious, I won't judge you!"

Tang Wulin raised an eyebrow, and said, "The total score is what matters!"

He had received perfect scores in all five examinations thus, so overall, he was still doing better than Lan Fuozi despite the fact that the latter had displayed Spirit Domain realm spiritual power.

"There are still more trials to come; I'll definitely outstrip you soon!"

Following the first five rounds, Tang Wulin had a total score of 50, while Lan Fuozi's score was only 46.

However, just as they were making their way toward the sixth examination, Lan Fuozi was informed that following a discussion from the higher-ups, it was decided that he would receive a bonus five points for the Spirit Domain realm spiritual power he had displayed, thereby improving his tally to 51.

"What do you have to say now?" Lan Fuozi gloated as he turned to Tang Wulin with a smug grin.

Tang Wulin merely remained silent as his expression darkened significantly.

Even though it was a good thing that Lan Fuozi was taking the spotlight away from him, he was beginning to pay more attention to Lan Fuozi.

Lan Fuozi's disguise abilities were of a very high caliber, to the extent that Tang Wulin was unable to ascertain his true power. Even though he was only displaying his powers bit by bit, what he had displayed thus far was already very astonishing. Perhaps he really was going to become a formidable rival!

On top of that, Tang Wulin was very displeased with the entrancement in Lan Fuozi's eyes whenever he talked about Gu Yuena.

The sixth examination was a test of one's proficiency in their secondary occupation.

This was the examination that took up the largest area as it was split up into four segments, one for each secondary occupation.

Lan Fuozi wasn't a blacksmith, so they had to part ways for this examination.

"You're a blacksmith? Hmph, that makes sense, seeing as strength is your only redeeming trait," Lan Fuozi said with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Tang Wulin asked, "What's your secondary occupation?"

Lan Fuozi chuckled in response, "Me? I'm a mecha maker; I'm a prodigy when it comes to mecha construction!"

Tang Wulin had already anticipated that there would be a secondary occupation examination, so he was prepared.

Of course, he wasn't going to display the full extent of his forging abilities. Compared to his spiritual power, his forging ability was something that was even more necessary for him to hide. Thus, he only displayed a level of proficiency roughly equivalent to that of a fifth-rank blacksmith. Even so, forging was the most difficult of the secondary occupations, so he received a score of seven.

If he had displayed the skills of a Saint Blacksmith, then he would've received a perfect score.

Qiangu Zhangting only joined the examinations near the end, and he had already been made aware of the Spirit Domain realm spiritual power displayed by Lan Fuozi.

Qiangu Zhangting was currently only at the Spirit Abyss realm, and this piece of news made him even more concerned than Qiangu Dongfeng had been. As such, he had displayed his abilities without any reservation and maintained a streak of perfect scores.

Due to the special nature of his identity, there were designated passages for him to access the examinations, so he didn't have to line up.

He was a mecha mechanic, and he had chosen this secondary occupation as it was the one that took up the least amount of time among the four secondary occupations.

He had never been very interested in his secondary occupation. In contrast, he much preferred to cultivate and improve his own combat prowess. In his eyes, there was no point in pursuing a secondary occupation. He had the best mecha designers and mecha makers to craft the ideal suits of battle armor for him, so there was no need for him to dedicate any time to this area.

As such, he was only a sixth-rank mecha mechanic, and he had no plans to improve on that.

Thus, he received a score of seven for this examination, then moved on to the seventh one.

As he did so, he just so happened to be run into Tang Wulin, who had also just emerged from the sixth examination.

Tang Wulin had met Qiangu Zhangting once at the train station, so he was naturally able to immediately identify him.

Qiangu Zhangting was wearing a set of white robes that complemented his handsome looks, and he was walking toward the seventh examination with a sense of confidence and purpose.

Tang Wulin's expression changed ever so slightly upon seeing Qiangu Zhangting. Qiangu Zhangting was the future heir to the Spirit Pagoda, and this event was being held by the Spirit Pagoda, so there was no way that the event wouldn't be rigged in his favor.

Qiangu Zhangting paid no heed to Tang Wulin and moved on without taking any notice of him.

Right at this moment, Lan Fuozi just so happened to have also finished his examination, and he turned to Tang Wulin as he asked with a smile, "How'd you do for the sixth examination?"

Tang Wulin replied, "I got seven points."

Lan Fuozi chuckled, "I also got seven! I'm still one point ahead of you overall, so you're probably not going to be able to catch up to me."

His voice was rather loud, so Qiangu Zhangting naturally heard him as well. He turned around and glanced at the duo with slightly furrowed brows, then continued onward.

Lan Fuozi's mood seemed to have improved significantly, and he asked, "Who's that? Looks like a cocky bastard; do you know him?"

Tang Wulin replied, "He's Qiangu Zhangting, the grandson of the Spirit Pagoda Chairman, Qiangu Dongfeng."

Lan Fuozi's eyes immediately widened upon hearing this. "Then doesn't he have an unfair advantage?"
