Chapter 993

“What… what is going on?”

The senior disciple in charge of this examination stared blankly at the stone . After waiting for a long time, none of the expected five colors lit up .

“Is the equipment broken? No, that’s impossible . ” That disciple once more activated it . The light once more examined Long Chen, proving there was no problem . But no color appeared .

Now, not only he was dumbfounded, but everyone else also .

“There’s no need to keep trying . I don’t have a Spirit Root . ” Long Chen bitterly smiled .

This tool investigated a person’s Root Qi, but without his Spirit Root, the only thing at the position of his Dantian was the primal chaos bead, and that light didn’t seem to be able to sense it .

The fact that the primal chaos bead wasn’t exposed made Long Chen much more at ease . That was his greatest secret, and he couldn’t expose it no matter what .

“That’s impossible . Do you think I’m an idiot? Without Root Qi, how did you condense a Dantian?” asked the stupefied senior disciple .

“Luo Yan, that question is not in accordance with the rules . We can’t ask such things,” chided Mu Qingxuan . She also didn’t quite believe what she was seeing, but the Xuantian Dao Sect’s rules didn’t allow them to pry into disciples’ personal secrets .

“But… then… what am I supposed to write down?” asked the senior disciple . He couldn’t possibly write ‘no Dantian’ . If the Elders learned of that, they would probably slap him . To cultivate without a Dantian, was that a joke?

“Hm… just write down that there’s no way to confirm anything,” said Mu Qingxuan . She had also never heard of someone capable of cultivating without a Dantian .

If she didn’t say anything, Luo Yan wouldn’t dare to write anything . He was afraid of the responsibility . So he only began to write once Mu Qingxuan nodded .

As a result, the word ‘uncertain’ was written where the quality of Long Chen’s Spirit Root was supposed to go .

“Tch, he doesn’t even have a Spirit Root . He’s probably another b.u.mpkin who bribed his way in . He’s not even worth dogs.h.i.+t,” sneered some people . Without a Dantian, Long Chen had probably cultivated some kind of unorthodox power . But that was a heretical path, and in the end, he wouldn’t have any accomplishments .

“Drip a bit of blood on the plate . ” The next test was for the density of his Spirit Blood . This was an important statistic as it would say how much potential he had .

Long Chen helplessly dripped a drop of blood onto the plate, which was very large and had countless ancient marks on it .

When Long Chen’s blood landed on it, the plate shook intensely, and a faint dragon roar came from it .

Boom! The ancient plate exploded, shocking everyone .

“Your… your essence blood isn’t human!” raged the disciple .

“Ah? What happened?” asked Long Chen .

“f.u.c.k, I’m going to go crazy! If you didn’t have human essence blood, why didn’t you say so earlier?!” raged that disciple .

“You didn’t say anything!” Long Chen raged back .

That disciple immediately had an urge to cry . Looking at the shattered testing plate, tears almost leaked out of his eyes .

“It’s okay, it’s not your fault . I also have responsibility for this, so I’ll help you pay for this testing plate . Don’t feel bad,” sighed Mu Qingxuan .

“Senior apprentice-sister Qingxuan, did junior disciple do something wrong?” asked Long Chen .

Mu Qingxuan shook her head . “You didn’t do anything wrong . We were just careless . Or perhaps it would be better to say we were unlucky . Normally, we should have first asked about your essence blood, and that would avoid this kind of awkward situation . This testing plate is only for testing human Spirit Blood, and it rejects other races’ blood . There is a chance of it exploding, but normally, the testing plate will show signs of rejection first, and we would stop the test so it doesn’t explode . But this time, it just instantly exploded . Furthermore, according to the sect’s rules, if something happens to the equipment as a result of our negligence, the examiner in charge of it must pay the price . ”

“Ah, sorry,” said Long Chen . It was no wonder that disciple looked like his wife had just died . He would probably be broke for a long while .

Long Chen had clearly seen ancient race disciples use this testing plate without causing problems, so he had felt he would be fine too .

But in reality, the ancient race experts also contained the human race’s blood . Their blood was special, but the testing plate didn’t reject them .

“The replacement has arrived . Be careful . ” Suddenly, an Elder appeared in the air and took out a new testing plate .

“Many thanks, Elder . We’ll definitely be careful and not allow such a thing to happen twice . ” Mu Qingxuan quickly bowed . Just now, she had alerted the higher-ups to send a new testing plate .

“You should be Long Chen, correct? Come over and drip a drop of blood on this testing plate . This one is special and is something I brought out for you,” said the Elder .

Long Chen went forward and dripped his blood on it . The testing plate blossomed with blinding light .
