Inch of Radiance Vol 1 Chapter 11.1

Book 1 Chapter 11.1 – Diamond Ring

“Hei Yan, examination pa.s.sed!” Zhang Yu and Zhang Shan looked at each other, then announced their decision.

This was an old rule, as long as one reached the level of a fourth-ranked expert, one could immediately enter the Security Bureau 11th Division.

“Congrats, congrats!” Tan Jin and the others all said with smiling expressions, and Hei Yan was laughing as well. Although he previously already knew that he was guaranteed to pa.s.s, when it came for the actual recruitment for the Security Bureau 11th Division, Hei Yan was still excited.

“You group of little brats better quickly finish testing before you start chatting!” Meng Tian laughed with speaking, and at once Tan Jin and Yan Jie went up one by one to get tested.

Although they already expected these results, it was still quite disappointing as no one else was able to surpa.s.s 1000 crystals. Yan Jie who had the highest was still only nearing 700 crystals.

“300 crystals, haha, I finally improved by a bit. Li Yang, it’s your turn, quickly give them something to be surprised about!” Tian Lin was laughing while heading towards Li Yang what speaking. The events that happened last night regarding Li Yang’s energy test was only know by Hei Yan and Tian Lin, no one else knew what happened.

Li Yang smiled, and confidently walked into the testing range.

The a.s.sessing radiance covered Li Yang’s body, and with a Di noise, the light vanished.

“150 crystals!”

Li Yang became a bit discouraged. “It seems like the worldly spiritual essence I absorbed this morning circulating within me did not even reach a single crystal. This cultivation will still require an extremely long time!” This single crystal of energy is a really large amount of energy. Ordinary people’s entire body’s energy might not even amount to a single crystal. Generally speaking, only after undergoing the intensive training from Special Forces would an individual have a couple crystals worth of energy.

Although he himself was quite discouraged, as for the others…

“Ah, third-ranked expert! Li Yang, how did you cultivate these past ten days, last time you were only 80 crystals, how did you all of a sudden read 150 crystals? How could it be so fast?” Tan Jin cried out at once in alarm.

Yan Jie’s eyes also became large and round. “Li Yang, you sneaky b.a.s.t.a.r.d, formidable, formidable. Even I, Yan Jie, when training to my upmost could only merely increase a bit.”

Tan Huo also had his mouth wide open…

Li Yang saw all of these people’s dumbfounded expressions, he immediately tried to act stupid and laugh it off.

…

Zhang Yu had a fond complexion on his face. He knew previously from Meng Tian that Li Yang’s entire body’s internal energy was only 80 crystals. No matter how powerful Li Yang’s Flying Dagger’s were, it would at most be around the attack power of a peak Fourth-ranked expert.

“Attack power roughly equal to a fifth-ranked expert, propose position; supervisor!” Zhang Yu wrote down while commenting.

“When Li Yang’s internal energy was only at the 30 crystal level, his attack power was already equally matched with a fourth-ranked expert. At 80 crystals, Li Yan’s offensive power should have reached that of a fourth-ranked peak expert. Now that he reached 150 crystals of internal energy, he ought to have reached the realm of early fifth-rank experts! Doing thing like this is not improper at all!” Zhang Yu was consoling himself.

Zhang Yu kept thinking that he ‘ought to’, ‘could’, ‘should be okay’, ‘with difficulty’ because Zhang Yu originally knew that if Li Yang met a fourth-ranked expert, he would definitely be able to easily take care of him! However, once he met a fifth-ranked expert, there was absolutely no hope left! Instead he would be the one defeated by the fifth-ranked expert!

The disparity between a fourth-rank expert and a fifth-rank expert was simply too insurmountable. Although the current Li Yang could easily defeat fourth-ranked experts, once he met a fifth-ranked expert, he would be absolutely defeated without a chance of success!

Houtian experts could not protect themselves from bullets with their internal qi.

However, Xiantian experts could externalize their internal qi to protect their bodies. The internal qi would likewise change from Houtian to Xiantian and possess astonis.h.i.+ng defense, even able to obstruct bullets! However, when faced with Li Yang’s Flying Daggers, they were nevertheless still vulnerable.

However, the most powerful were still Paragon Xiantian experts. Xiantian Paragon experts’ had a nearly unending supply of internal qi. The internal qi that they could protect their bodies with were no longer called ‘Internal Qi Protection’ but rather ‘Stellar Qi Protection’! The ‘Stellar Qi Protection’ defense was far stronger, and Li Yang’s Flying Daggers aren’t even able to penetrate them!

Li Yang’s strongest technique was his Flying Dagger. If his Flying Dagger could not even penetrate their defense, then he could only await his defeat! Only if Li Yang was able to use Xiantian internal qi could he use the Xiantian qi infused Flying Dagger to pierce through the ‘Stellar Qi Protection’!

“However, if Li Yang launched a sneak attack before the Xiantian Paragon expert could fully utilize the ‘Stellar Qi Protection’, Li Yang could still potentially gain victory. My decision this time was still not a mistake!” Zhang Yu was beaming while thinking to himself, and he resolutely declared, “Li Yang’s internal energy has once again risen greatly. Adding with the fact that he completed an A-rank and B-rank mission as well as having his Flying Dagger’s astonis.h.i.+ng attack power, I hereby declare that Li Yang has pa.s.sed the exam!”

There was actually one more test left, and that was the Combat Practical.

However, Zhang Yu could not wait any longer. He recalled Meng Tian order ‘this Li Yang absolutely must be recruited into my Security Bureau 11th Division no matter how low Li Yang’s internal energy was!’

“Dead octopus, why are you acting so straightforward, isn’t there still the ‘Combat Practical’? You haven’t had to chance to personally taste the ‘Xiao Li Flying Dagger’!” Meng Tian asked with slight confusion, he knew that his brother Zhang Yu was known for his strictness, yet this time he pa.s.sed them with only the energy test. After all, Li Yang’s energy only amounted to 150 crystals. Regardless of how well known his Flying Daggers were, knowing his temperament, he should have at least experienced it to convince himself.

“Meng Tian, when this Li Yang completed that A-rank mission, he should have already entered the Security Bureau 11th Division. He wasn’t recruited last time because his internal energy was too low. Now that his energy increased so rapidly, his progress has been quite significant! Of course I would pa.s.s him. As for the power of his Flying Dagger, haha, when he was only a brat of 30 crystals he killed a fourth-ranked ninja; is this not enough to prove the might of his ‘Xiao Li Flying Dagger’?” Zhang Yu replied with a smile.

Although Meng Tian felt that Zhang Yu was acting a bit strange today, he didn’t say anything further. After all, Li Yang’s strength was something that he understood clearly. For him to enter the Security Bureau 11th Division was already a certainty.

“Alright, next is the Combat Practical! As for Li Yang and Hei Yan, you two can relax on the side!” Meng Tian announced.

Li Yang was extremely excited, and he really could not wait any longer. After waiting for more than a year, every day only talking 30 minutes on the phone, happiness was so close at hand that his rapidly beating heart was making his head dizzy.

“Division captain, examiners, I have important manners to attend to. Is it possible for me to be excused first?” Li Yang said uncomfortably. He was prepared to leave right now in order to buy that ring!
