Using the same crystal ball, it was Luo Yu who stood there and activated it.
The resulting scene was completely different.
An unusual fluctuation spread out.
Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted.
The elder who was recruiting for Shrek was utterly astounded.
The Zhu Zhuqing sisters wore expressions that seemed to say they knew this would happen all along, looking at Tang San as if he were a clown.
Ning Rongrong stared intently at Luo Yu with curiosity from beginning to end, never taking Tang San's talents seriously. Instead, it was the always mysterious Luo Yu that piqued her interest!
"Boom!"
Amid the tiny droplets of trembling, the crystal ball in Luo Yu's hands shone to its utmost, bursting out with a blinding white light.
The intense light came so suddenly and fiercely that most of the people present were unable to react in time, and for a moment, they were blinded.
However, compared to the pain in their eyes, a great upheaval had already begun in their hearts.
A slight comparison would reveal that the light emitted by Tang San earlier was nothing compared to this man's. It was like the difference between glowworms and stars—immense and immeasurable.
Yet Tang San was already at cultivation level 29.
What then must be the cultivation level of the man behind these terrifying scenes?
At this point, the comparison made the parents and students who were present shudder, unable to imagine further.
They had never before seen natural talent like Tang San's.
And Luo Yu's case surpassed their imaginations and understandings.
Tang San shook his head in trembling denial, unable to accept what he was seeing.
"Impossible, how can this be!"
"I've clearly checked, he doesn't have much soul power at all!!"
He was now pushing his Purple Demon Eyes to their limit, continuously probing into the figure in the strong light, desperately trying to find some kind of cheating method that the man had used to achieve this effect.
Unfortunately, he found no sign of cheating, but instead, saw the soul power pouring out of Luo Yu like a flood bursting a dam, continuous and terrifying.
The sarcasm hanging from the man's mouth was clearly directed at him, and it pierced Tang San's pride in an instant.
Xiaowu stood by the side, her pretty face filled with astonishment, her cherry mouth slightly open, utterly shocked by Luo Yu.
It wasn't just Third Brother who had been wrong, she was no different.
She really hadn't expected Luo Yu's talent to be to this extent.
As a hundred thousand-year Soft Bone Charming Rabbit who was reborn, her talents were never in question.
Meeting someone like Tang San who could match her was shocking enough to her.
Luo Yu's overwhelming talent left her truly dazed and struggling to imagine how such geniuses could exist in this world?
Everyone thought that the peak of the bright light signaled the end.
But they didn't realize that it was just the beginning of the shock.
"Crack, crack!"
Crisp and fine sounds carried forth.
Everyone's necks stiffened as they followed the sound, ignoring tears from the bright light irritatting their eyes, staring intently at the source of the cracking noises, their hearts pounding wildly.
In Luo Yu's hand, the test crystal that was bursting with intense light had begun to show a spider-web of fine cracks.
In an instant, exclamations erupted!
"Cracked... it cracked?"
Someone trembled, muttering: "Can the test crystal actually crack?"
"Of course, the crystal has its limits. If they're exceeded, it will naturally break."
"Are you saying… this guy's soul power is too much for the test crystal to handle?"
"You're asking me? How would I know? This is the first time I've ever witnessed something like this!"
"But one thing is for sure, this fellow who looks our age has a total amount of soul power far above our own. He's not from the same world as us."
Luo Yu gave them no time to react further.
The moment the white light reached its zenith, it exploded with a bang.
This stopped everyone in their tracks.
The test crystal wailed, unable to bear the load and instantly shattered into countless fragments.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
Countless fragments shot in all directions.
When silence once again enveloped the entrance of Shrek Village, Luo Yu had long since withdrawn his Soul Power and stood calmly, as if the astonishing phenomena that had just occurred had nothing to do with him.
"Did the Test Crystal just explode like that? What kind of Soul Power does this guy have?"
"That's terrifying."
"Mom, I want to go home, it's too scary."
Even though Luo Yu didn't target anyone, the act of shattering the crystal ball genuinely frightened these people.
At this moment, countless faces were flushed with embarrassment, unable to look at Luo Yu.
They now understood that everything happened for a reason.
If a man were without real ability, how could he make such a bewitchingly sexy woman willingly call him master?
How could he be surrounded by so many beauties?
Clearly, they had been ignorant and narrow-minded.
The eyes that had previously held jealousy now, having witnessed Luo Yu's power, bestowed upon him recognition and more so admiration, for the might he had displayed was truly explosive.
In contrast, no one cared about Tang San anymore.
A twelve-year-old at level 29, is that a genius?
If you had asked these people before, they would've answered without hesitation, yes, a genius.
But after they had witnessed Luo Yu, if you asked them the same question now,
it felt somewhat awkward.
Compared to Luo Yu's level of Soul Power, what's level 29?
What kind of talent does Tang San have to speak of?
Didn't you see the Test Crystal exploding? Who could top that kind of display?
The Shrek recruiters were having internal convulsions. Others might not know, but didn't he know?
This Test Crystal was specially designed for Grand Soul Masters under level 30 to test their strength. To crack it open was one thing, but to instantly explode it, a level 40 Soul Master might not even manage to do that.
He was now filled with regret, feeling like an idiot.
To curry favor with a level 29, had he actually offended a true monstrous genius? What to do now?
Zhu Zhuqing was also stunned at this moment.
Her red lips parted hesitantly, "You're really too frightening, you know? I tried with that same crystal ball, and I feel like I'm far from being able to crack it with my current level of Soul Power."
"Cut the nonsense, sit down!"
Luo Yu shook his head, his face devoid of any significant expression.
After all, it wasn't his first time dealing with such matters. It was a well-trodden path for him, nothing to be surprised about.
"Impossible, impossible!"
Tang San shook his head repeatedly, still unable to believe that Luo Yu possessed such a terrifying amount of Soul Power, far surpassing his own.
Could it be all the years of his Mysterious Heaven Method were cultivated in vain?
Otherwise, how could anyone be so much stronger than him?
Luo Yu walked towards Tang San, people giving way and stepping back on either side, void of the previous contempt, their eyes filled with fear and shock.
After walking a distance, Luo Yu stopped and looked at Tang San.
"Weren't you always saying I'm just a wastrel?"
"Got anything else you haven't finished saying? Go ahead."
"I'm listening."
Luo Yu casually dug his ear, not taking the other party seriously at all.
Tang San's complexion began to shift uncertainly, his face unable to bear the humiliation.
With so many watching, the way he had ridiculed the other party now slapped back onto his own face.
He clenched his fists, his eyes locked onto Luo Yu, his tone ominous.
"I indeed underestimated you earlier, I didn't expect you to hide your abilities so deeply."
"However, these must be all your cards, right?"
"I warn you, don't think you can strut around me just because you have strong Soul Power. What I excel at is not Soul Power, you better be careful."
"Oh?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, his lips curving into an amused smirk.
"Xiaosan, not enough of a blow for you? You're getting confident again?"
