I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 68 - 67: Spiritual Power

Struggling to get past the excited teachers, Principal Wen adjusted his expression and said to Li Xing:

"Student Li Xing, congratulations on testing a Dual-element spirit, and it’s even a Double Heavenly Armor Dual-element spirit! I hope you work hard and don’t waste such a great talent." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Li Xing nodded, "Understood, Principal."

Having tested such an extraordinary elemental spirit attribute, yet not getting carried away, maintaining a calm demeanor and clear eyes, this child is quite something.

Principal Wen admired in his heart, no wonder Yang Zhou had high hopes for her and traveled a long way to request his attention. He would’ve done the same in his place.

"Li Xing, there is also a mental power test remaining. Do you want to take a break before starting?"

Li Xing shook her head and turned back to enter the Element Testing Instrument.

Principal Wen and the teachers were more nervous than if their own child were undergoing the test, staring intently at the spiritual power indicator, afraid of missing the slightest fluctuation.

Suddenly, the needle moved, vibrating back and forth between zero and one on the scale, finally stopping at zero. After a moment, text began to appear on the screen:

The subject possesses spiritual power but the specific level cannot be measured; it is presumed that the Spirit Sea has dried up, resulting in wasted spiritual power.

Principal Wen’s vision went black, and he fell backward, thankfully supported by a teacher.

"Principal—! What’s wrong with you!"

"Principal, wake up!"

After some resuscitation efforts, Principal Wen gradually regained consciousness, still seeing golden stars before him, infuriating him to no end!

When Li Xing came out, the first thing she saw was Principal Wen lying in a teacher’s arms, looking as if he was about to pass out, and then she saw the result on the screen and understood.

After a brief mental collapse, Principal Wen was filled with furious rage.

The drying of the Spirit Sea could only be due to one reason—failure to develop spiritual power during the golden period!

A super-genius with a Double Heavenly Armor Elemental Spirit originally had spiritual power, but due to the Element Testing Instrument’s misjudgment, the spiritual power wasn’t developed and trained, resulting in its atrophy and drying up!

Ruined—!

With a foundation of a double Double Heavenly Armor Elemental Spirit, even if Li Xing’s spiritual power were only of rank Wu, she could excel in at least one of the three professions, even becoming a talent integrating all three!

But all of this was delayed.

Possessing a Wood Element Spirit, she should have been developed in the direction of a Healing Master, but instead entered the martial master’s path. Entering the martial master’s path isn’t bad in itself, but using such a rare Heaven Rank Wood Element Spirit merely as a martial master’s combat elemental spirit is simply a waste!

If Li Xing’s Wood Element Spirit and spiritual power had been discovered earlier, the world might have gained another Heaven Rank Healing Master capable of saving the lives of countless elemental spirit berserkers.

Principal Wen was heartbroken, seeing golden stars again, and before fainting again, he pinched his own thigh hard, forcing himself to revive through the pain.

"Director Wan, Director Jin, immediately arrange for all students to come to the auditorium for a retest of their elemental spirits! I mean all, all students! The academy will bear the test costs, hurry, go quickly!"

Today’s incident has far-reaching implications; he doesn’t know how many cities’ Element Testing Instruments have problems or if there are other students like Li Xing. He hopes not, but reason tells him there certainly are.

He doesn’t dare think too much, but for now, the wisest course is to conduct a thorough investigation of Harssas Academy. He cannot control others, but his students cannot suffer such grievances, and he must demand justice from the Elder Council!

"Li Xing, come with me!"

Following Principal Wen into the principal’s office, Li Xing looked worriedly at the old man slumped into the armchair, even his goatee was trembling.

Seeing Li Xing’s eyes fixed steadily on him, Principal Wen realized his own composure had slipped.

At such a moment, as Principal, he should be calm, wise, and should help stabilize the students’ emotions. How could he lose his composure first? He wiped his face and looked up at Li Xing.

"Li Xing, are you okay?" "Principal, are you okay?"

Both spoke almost simultaneously; Principal Wen, seeing Li Xing’s tranquil eyes, felt a long-lost sense of shame. Living to such an age, and yet at a critical moment, he wasn’t as composed as a child.

"Ahem, sit down, Student Li Xing."

Principal Wen wanted to sip some tea to calm himself, suddenly remembering the teacup had just been shattered.

That was a thermos cup made from a whole piece of Sares Crystal, expensive even without considering that the Sares Crystal mine is nearly depleted, buying a new one would cost him a year’s salary, causing Principal Wen to feel a pang of heartache.

There had been too many hard hits today; at that moment, he truly didn’t know which to lament first.

"You already know the test results, so my feelings on this matter are both excited and heavy, and you must feel the same."

Li Xing remained silent; this newly tested Heaven Rank Wood Element Spirit corresponded to her original singular Wood Spirit Root, while the notion of dried spiritual power was entirely unfounded.

Li Xing had long discovered that when Divine Sense and spiritual power are of the same level, in terms of insight, Divine Sense holds an absolute advantage; there are similarities and fundamental differences between the two.

Strictly speaking, Divine Sense and spiritual power are not the same; if Harssas’s Element Testing Instrument were more precise, it would be normal not to measure her Divine Sense. However, one thing is certain, the Element Testing Instrument in Datang City is indeed inaccurate.

"Heaven Rank elemental spirits, are rare across the entire Qianyuan Continent, and having two Heaven Rank elemental spirits simultaneously is nothing short of being extraordinary."

Clearing his throat, Principal Wen continued:

"According to federal convention, school-age children who test with a Heaven Rank elemental spirit, no matter where they are, will be sent to Upper City for education immediately, because the living environment, educational conditions, and faculty in Upper City are the best in the federation. In a good educational environment, the potential of a Heaven Rank attribute can be maximized."

"But because of the problems with Datang’s Element Testing Instrument, your true elemental spirit attribute, level, and spiritual power were not accurately measured..."

Feeling regret, Principal Wen had to take a deep breath before he could continue: "You have wasted ten years in Lower City, and it even caused the terrible consequence of a dried Spirit Sea; for this, I express deep regret and sympathy."

"Student Li Xing, I, Lao Wen, promise you that this matter is not over. I will personally go to the Elder Council to seek justice for you! They need to apologize for your loss, and the loss to the Qianyuan Continent, and make appropriate compensation!"

For the first time, there was a hint of surprise on Li Xing’s face, compensation, not bad at all!

"However, you also need to understand that what’s done is done; grief, sorrow, and anger are understandable, but they should be measured, and you shouldn’t be overwhelmed by them. A Dual-element spirit of Double Heavenly Armor will not automatically enhance your abilities; you must work harder than the average student to be worthy of your aura."

"If you become arrogant and complacent due to your exceptional talent and do not strive hard, you will be surpassed by those with A-rank or B-rank elemental spirits. Then your talents will be your greatest satire, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Li Xing replied loudly.
