Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 401 Inaccurate testing

Piper didn't linger long at the school. After scolding Edward and failing to have even a brief conversation with William, she felt somewhat disheartened and quietly left.

Her sudden appearance and intervention undoubtedly deepened Edward's resentment towards William.

"This despicable 'Pretty boy', how shamelessly he's charmed my mother!"

"Can't this guy have a little shame? To actually make moves on my family."

He could never forget the day his mother asked him to call William "Uncle."

"Today, I must teach him a lesson!"

But William was skilled in combat!

He knew this; even with his cronies, they probably wouldn't be enough to stand up to William.

That's why they were all talk and no action.

One of Edward's cronies said, "Edward, William must also be here for the test."

"Isn't that obvious?" Edward rolled his eyes. "I heard that kid William often skips classes. Why else would he come to school today if not for the test? And he even brought two kids,obviously, they are here for the test too."

The crony sinisterly smiled, "Edward, do you remember what the testing officer said today?"

"Hmm?" Edward raised an eyebrow at him.

"The officer said fighting and brawling are strictly forbidden! No matter the reason, the first one to start a fight will be disqualified from the test!"

"Oh!" Edward patted the crony's shoulder, grinning, "You're quite cunning! I like that!"

"Edward, you flatter me!"

"Then you go provoke that William, and I'll draw the testing officer over, catch him red-handed! We'll make sure that detestable William can't participate in the test." Edward put his arm around the crony's shoulder and laughed, "Don't worry, if you handle this well today, once I become a powerful SoulMancer, I'll definitely look out for you!"

"Edward, I'd like to help you, but that William might be a SoulMancer too. I've just been tested, haven't I? Lacking the potential to become a SoulMancer, if he hits me, the officer might just turn a blind eye, pretending not to see it." The crony spoke earnestly, "I think, you should handle this yourself. You're an S-grade man with a promising future. If William dares to touch you..."

"Hey, you're pretty clever! So what if you don't have the potential to be a SoulMancer? In the future, you'll be my most trusted advisor!" Edward pondered the crony's words, realizing the logic in them.

Given his status, if he were to be hit by William, that would surely catch the commissioner's attention.

"Alright! Go find him! Find William and let me know!" Edward decided, today he would play a big game with William.

So what if he gets beaten up?

William would lose his chance to become a SoulMancer, which seemed like a great trade-off to him.

Once he becomes a powerful SoulMancer in the future, he'll get his revenge!

Hmph!

Such a meticulous plan, truly befitting of himself!

Thinking this, Edward's lips curled into a smile, and he started to roam the school, searching for William.

William, accompanied by the two kids, wandered around the school. Besides the students on the field waiting for their test, there were also many who had finished their tests but showed no potential to become SoulMancers.

Those who were identified as having the potential to become SoulMancers seemed overjoyed, as if winning the Powerball jackpot.

However, those deemed without potential appeared disheartened and dejected.

In this new era, becoming a Soulmancer seems to be a more enticing path, but for them, this path appears to have become unreachable.

They are faced with the tremendous opportunity to become Soulmancers, only to find the door firmly closed.

William looked and thought that with this kind of testing method, it would be quite good if even one in ten thousand could succeed.

How could ordinary people so easily sense the energy of their own existence and the primal life force?

Even if one has the potential to become a SoulMancer, such a testing method is still inaccurate.

Sensing energy without systematic guidance is a rarity, perhaps one in a hundred thousand people.

As for that guy Edward, he was merely chosen by that entity expelled by William.

While wandering around the school, William encountered Lila.

"William!" Lila, upon seeing William, hurriedly called out to him, asking, "How did your test go?"

William didn't deliberately avoid Lila.

Hearing her question, he smiled and replied, "I didn't need to test; I've already been tested internally. How about your test results?"

Lila spoke cheerfully, "There's an internal testing route? Considering your abilities, you really don't need such tests. You're already a SoulMancer."

"I passed the test, and so did Ryan," Lila continued. "A very talented individual known to my grandfather taught us some basic techniques to sense and activate internal energy, so it wasn't difficult for us."

William nodded in understanding, "I remember you couldn't sense energy not so long ago."

Knowing about Anthony Carter's background and that they had contact with someone who could sense and activate internal energy wasn't surprising.

There are many ways to sense the existence of energy, such as through long-term practice of certain physical exercises and meditation techniques.

Since they had prior guidance, they were naturally different from others.

This doesn't necessarily indicate how great Lila and Ryan's potential is,it's more about the advantages of their family backgrounds.

As the two were chatting, Edward suddenly burst out, pointing at William's nose and accusing, "William, you shameless man! How dare you come to see Lila!"

Lila, seeing Edward, couldn't help but facepalm.

Not again?

Based on her understanding of William, wasn't Edward just asking for trouble by coming over?

He couldn't beat William, yet he still insisted on seeking confrontation.

She really couldn't fathom what he was thinking.

"Miss Carter, did you know? I was tested and identified as having S-level potential!" Edward eagerly shared the news with Lila. "Do you understand what this means?"

Lila couldn't be bothered to look at him and replied, "I don't know, and I don't want to know! So, there's no need for you to tell me."

Gritting his teeth, Edward retorted, "One day you'll regret it. William is not a good person!"

"No! He's inhuman!" Edward vehemently continued, "That shameless man even seduced my mother!"

Lila coughed in disbelief. She never expected Edward to make such an accusation.

But she didn't believe it for a second.

William seducing Edward's mother?

What a joke!

William wasn't even interested in her, so why would he go after Edward's mother?

This not only felt like an insult to William, but Lila felt she was being insulted too.

William, a man of his stature, instantly saw through the young man's intentions.

"Hold on! I'll beat him up first," William said, smiling, having already seen through everything.

Edward smiled too, having successfully provoked William.

Was he afraid of getting beaten up?

Today, he wanted William to hit him. The testing officer was already on the way, and the harder William hit him, the better!

William smirked and stepped forward, delivering a punch that knocked Edward to the ground, followed by a series of punches and kicks.

The blows weren't heavy, but they were sure to leave a mark and were painful enough.
