1548 Ancient Divine Tex (1/2)

The first time Xu Que had met Ah Qi, he'd already felt as if he looked a little familiar. But he'd never been able to think of who he reminded him of.The first time Xu Que had met Ah Qi, he'd already felt as if he looked a little familiar. But he'd never been able to think of who he reminded him of.

After all, the Duan Jiude that he knew was already a rotten old man, whereas Ah Qi was an honest young man. Even though the facial features of the two men were similar, there was such a gap in age between them that it'd been rather difficult to associate Ah Qi with Duan Jiude at first.

But now, having learned Ah Qi's full name, Xu Que had immediately arrived at the conclusion that Duan Qide absolutely was some kind of relation to Duan Jiude. Based on the inference in the name, Duan Qide could possibly be Duan Jiude's grandfather, because there should have been a Duan Bade in between the two.

WHOOSH!

While Xu Que was getting over his astonishment, Duan Qide, in the testing area, had already pressed his hand on the Tao Test Stone.

The whole Tao Test Stone blossomed with a splendid glow. It was a bright red, not deep nor pale. It was normal! But the entire Tao Test Stone was almost completely covered with this red light, at least 80 percent of it.

”Tao Aura with Fire System at the eighth stage!” There was an instant cry from the crowd. Many people were shocked and couldn't believe it.

This young man with an ordinary appearance actually had a Tao Aura at the eighth stage.

The old man in charge of the Heaven Palace Sect's assessment also raised his eyes and swept a glance toward Duan Qide as he said indifferently, ”Tao Aura at the eighth stage, go report to the second-class compound.”

With that, just as he had done before, he waved his hand and shot out a beam of light, which fell into Duan Qide's arms.

Duan Qide looked extremely excited. Even he hadn't anticipated that his Tao Aura ranking would be so high: actually at the eighth stage!

”Ha, ha, ha, eighth stage. My Tao Aura is actually at the eighth stage!” Duan Qide cried out excitedly.

He cheerfully looked over at Xu Que and shouted, ”Brother Slayer, my Tao Aura is at the eighth stage. What a big man I am!”

Xu Que politely gave a smile and said, ”Very good.”

Duan Jiude's grandfather had had the same ridiculous urges that Duan Jiude would later have. BAH!

”Next!” There was another cry from the testing area, ”Slayer...Slayer Lord?”

The person who read out the name obviously hesitated. ”What kind of name was this?”

The surrounding cultivators were also startled. This kind of name was really uncommon. ”Could it be a rare ancient family name?”

”Here!”

Xu Que immediately shouted and walked out from the crowd, bursting with life and eager to give the Tao Test Stone a try.

Finally, it's my, the Act-Tough Saint's, turn to try.

”Is it multicolored and brilliant, or gorgeous and brightly colored? Or is it magnificent and amazingly luminous, so dazzling that it will blind everyone's eyes…?”

Full of expectation and excitement, Xu Que stepped into the center of the testing area under everyone's gazes and stood before the Tao Test Stone.

”Brother Slayer, come on, you absolutely can do it.” Duan Qide gave a cry of encouragement.

”Okay.” The corners of Xu Que's mouth raised into a smile. It went without saying that he was full of confidence and could absolutely do it. Of course, the Act-Tough Saint's Tao Aura would be able to do it.

With the infinite ways to achieve the Tao, I only had to cultivate according to my heart's wishes.

To do as I please, Heaven can't be without if I want it. If I don't want it, then Heaven can't have it.

If the Way of Heaven is lacking, the Way of Tao is changeable, but I only ask for Heaven and Earth to follow my wishes.

Look, so domineering, so cocky, so stylish...

Xu Que's eyes sparkled and his clothes fluttered in the wind. He raised his hand and pressed his palm on the Tao Test Stone.

BANG!

The whole Tao Test Stone instantly shook.

He'd used great strength.

But...beyond that, the Tao Test Stone had had no response at all.

Everyone present opened their eyes wide and impatiently looked at him.

Duan Qide remained full of anticipation as he watched Xu Que.

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...

”Well?”

Xu Que himself was somewhat taken aback. What's going on? Why is there no reaction?

”Hurry up, don't waste everyone's time!” At this point, the old man glanced over and gave Xu Que a slightly impatient reminder.

”Eh, how do I hurry up?” Xu Que asked, blushing with embarrassment.

”Brother Slayer, quickly release your Tao Aura.” Duan Qide was also finding it difficult to watch and urged him on.

”I am releasing it.” Xu Que looked helpless.

I've indeed released my Tao Aura. At first, I was afraid of my Tao Aura being too strong, and I didn't want to scare people so I didn't use all my effort.

But since the Tao Test Stone hadn't responded to his aura, Xu Que had long since completely released it. However, the Tao Test Stone remained silent.
