106 Entering the Mountain (1/2)
Liu Yue’er saw Zhao Feng’s casual attitude, it seemed to her as if no other was genius could enter his eyes. Even when he looked at the cultivators of the ninth rank, he would still be expressionless.
”Hmph!” Liu Yue’er’s eyebrows twitched slightly and she didn’t hide the disdain in her eyes. The geniuses present were all very young, any one of them were prodigies in their original clans/sects/families, and they were all extremely confident in themselves.
Zhao Feng finally realized his attitude was slightly disdainful. He was only focused on Bei Moi, the others couldn’t even his eyes.
“Lord Guanjun, what type of Spiritual Body do your disciples have?” Lord Cangtie asked curiously. Hearing this, a mocking smile appeared on Nan Gongfan’s lips.
Lord Guanjun shook his head. “Average.” He didn’t want to talk about Zhao Feng’s talent, but his reaction made Lord Cangtie and Liu Yue’er more curious.
“I don’t believe that his talent is better than mine.” A confident look appeared on Liu Yue’er’s face.

_Night..._
The youths started to chatter amongst themselves while they waited for day to arrive. Occasionally, a few youths would fight with another.
“Xiao Sun! Don’t think that you can look down upon us because you reached the ninth rank!”
From not far away came the sounds of an argument. Everyone twisted their heads in the direction of the sound and they found a black-clothed youth of the ninth rank was arguing with some other youths.
The young man in black was Xiao Sun, the only ninth rank youth present.
“A bunch of weaklings!” Xiao Sun coldly scanned the other youths of the eighth and ninth ranks. His ninth rank aura was released, rendering the other youths unable to breathe properly.
“What are we scared of? Attack together!”
Two youths of the eighth rank pounced on Xiao Sun from the left and right. The three immediately began to battle.
Every youth here had trained in high class martial arts and they were top tier in their ranks. The two youths of the eighth rank could even counter a ninth rank, but Xiao Sun had trained a speed and offensive skill which were both Holy martial arts, and he had defeated the two youths in just a few moves.
_Xiao Sun’s strength is pretty close to Bei Moi’s_ , Zhao Feng thought.
It had been twenty days after Bei Moi left, and he had strength comparable to a half-Holy martial artist then. Now that he had entered the Clan, would he be even stronger?
“This Xiao Sun comes from the biggest family in seclusion, the Xiao family. This family has been around for thousands of years, and their strength is not any weaker than a Province City,” Lord Guanjun said in low tones.
This was the first time that Zhao Feng had heard there was a power in the Cloud Country that was stronger than the Guanjun Province City. But even then, these families in seclusion would try their best to send their younger generation into the Clans.
_Plop! Plop!_ __
Xiao Sun soon beat up the two youths of the eighth rank. “Hahaha…I’ll come first time in the entrance exam!” Xiao Sun laughed out loud.
First place?
His words drew the enmity of other geniuses, such as Liu Yue’er and Princess Yun Xiang.
There were a limited number of places for those who wanted to enter the Clan. According to what Zhao Feng knew, there was a total of three tests and a score was given for each test.
A rank would be given in accordance to the sum of their scores, and only the top twenty would be accepted. For example, if the Broken Moon Clan wanted to take in twenty disciples, they would only take the top twenty applicants. The higher one ranked was the greatest advantage they had, since they then had a higher chance of being taken in by the higher levels of the Clan.
Lord Guanjun had talked to Zhao Feng and the others about this. Now, Xiao Sun was aiming for first place which irritated the others. Obviously, none of them challenged him, because Xiao Sun merely had the highest cultivation, and the Clan tested on talent, strength, and enlightenment.
Talent took up sixty percent of the test, which meant that even if you were the strongest, you might not come first.
“Hmph! Talent is most important!”
“That’s right! No matter how strong you are right now, you’ll still be surpassed due to lack of talent.”
The other youths said this, but none of them challenged him.
The older generation didn’t interfere with the youths since they thought it was just child’s play.
“Xiao Sun, Yun Mengxiang, Liu Yue’er, and Sun Yuanhap…” Zhao Feng’s eyes rested on those who he thought were the most spectacular.
The person with the highest cultivation was Xiao Sun. After him came Yun Mengxiang and Liu Yue’er, who both had extreme beauty.
Last of all came Sun Yuanhao.
The reason why Zhao Feng felt interested in him was because he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he was already at the eighth rank.
