C10 (1/2)
Ah!” Trash, what are you trying to do? ” Qing Miao jumped in fright and said with fear. She subconsciously shrunk into Hu Bufan's embrace. Hu Bufan's eyes also twitched and he forgot to speak to comfort Qing Miao.
Lan Yu turned his head to look at Hu Bufan. His eyes were like a deep pool, the bottom simply impossible to see. Then, he drew his saber and carried it on his shoulder as he walked forwards with an extraordinary momentum!
Lanyu didn't want to waste words with them. Sometimes it was silent, and it was even more lethal than sound.
The pitch-black blade reflected the cold sunlight, causing Hu Bufan to squint his eyes.
Hu Bufan's expression became strange. He pinched the seedling's hand, feeling a chill in his heart. Just now, they had all been completely intimidated by Lanyu.
”Hmph, the test is about to begin. Little Miao, let's go.” Hu Bufan pretended to be calm as he pulled Qing Miao forward.
On the high platform in the center of the plaza.
Elder Wang Kun walked to the front of the stage, and after looking around, he was very satisfied with today's grand occasion. Aside from the younger generation of the three great clans, there were also many talented youths gathered here.
”In the first trial, those who have reached above three lines will be able to pass.” As he said this, a piece of fine jade hung from his waist, and a spirit testing monument that was as tall as a person appeared out of thin air on top of the stage. This caused the crowd to sigh in amazement.
The Spirit Testing Stone was made of special materials, and it could resonate with the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. The examiner only needed to place his hand in the center of the hollow of the tablet and circulate all the Spiritual Energy in his body to arouse the stripes on it. One line was the worst, three lines were average, and nine were the strongest.
”Let's begin.” Wang Kun looked at the youth standing at the front of the first group and said indifferently.
The youth seemed very excited and apprehensive. He went up onto the platform, pressed his hands into the depression, and started to circulate the spiritual power around his body.
Weng! *
With a slight hum, the first line lit up. The youth's face flushed red as the spiritual energy in his body circulated unceasingly.
Buzz! Buzz! The second hum was a bit stronger than the third. In the end, when the third stroke emitted a faint white light, no matter how hard the youth tried, he was unable to light up the fourth stroke.
”Three-line talent, barely qualified. Stand at the back.” Wang Kun indifferently swept his gaze over the youth. With his talent, even if he were to enter the School of Ten Thousand Swords, he would still be at the bottom of the list.
As for the youth, he happily jumped up and jogged towards the back of the stage, feeling even more satisfied than if he had eaten honey.
”Next.”
”First rate talent, not qualified.”
”Three-striped talent, qualified.”
The exam continued on. Some people were happy, while others were sad. The youths who passed the innate talent test were in high spirits, and the ones who failed left dejectedly.
”extraordinary. You said that trash, how much talent does he have?” Qing Miao glanced at Lan Yu who was at the front of the group, but hadn't taken the stage yet. The contempt in her words was obvious, she had completely forgotten about the great shock that Lan Yu had given her.
Big chest and no brain, that was it.
”How many lines?” ”Little Miao, you think too highly of that trash. He can only …” Hu Bufan sneered in disdain. He raised his right hand and bent his pinky.
”It's not worth anything!” Qing Miao chuckled and mocked.
Sometimes, Hu Bufan was quite humorous, and she liked him a lot.
”Little Miao, it's our turn. Let's go.” Hu Bufan pulled Qing Miao along and waited for the youngster who failed the test to leave with a dejected face. Then, the two of them walked up to the platform at the same time.
”Greetings, Senior Wang Kun.” Hu Bufan cupped his fist respectfully as he greeted Wang Kun.
”Greetings, senior.” Qing Miao had also changed from her usual disposition to bowing humbly to Wang Kun.
Wang Kun smiled and nodded. His relationship with Hu Wenguang and Great Ancestor Qing was quite good, and the two children treated him with such respect. This made him very happy.
”extraordinary. Miao'er, go ahead. Don't disappoint your father.”
”Yes.”
Hu Bufan and Qing Miao nodded their heads simultaneously.
When Hu Bufan turned around, he immediately put on a haughty expression and intentionally sent a provocative gaze towards Lanyu. Then, he walked up to the stone monument and slowly pressed his hand down on it.
The crowd was excited. Hu Bufan was known as the number one genius among the younger generation in Qing Sha City, so he must be a genius. They all wanted to see what kind of innate talent he had.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A series of three sounds rang out, and the stone tablet trembled. The moment it came into contact with the stone, the three lines lit up at the same time.
”Hu Bufan is Qing Sha City's number one genius alright. His talent is truly terrifying.”
”That's right, it's a pity that I wasn't born in the Hu family.”
