115: Chapter 115 Seven feet? I'll go straight for ten feet!
"Whoosh!"
Accompanied by a majestic shout, a fiery red, graceful figure descended elegantly from the heights of Qingmu Peak, like sunset clouds tearing through the Void Realm.
The person who arrived was none other than the Qingmu Peak Elder, Xu Hongxia!
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze unscrupulously scanning the Elder.
Unlike the deliberate posturing of the Outer Sect green tea, Mu Siyao, the Xu Hongxia before him was a truly stunning beauty, ripe and possessing a lingering charm.
She wore a fiery red, high-slit embroidered long dress, the hem swaying gently with the breeze, perfectly outlining her breathtaking, voluptuous curves.
The neckline was slightly open, revealing a large expanse of snow-white, delicate skin that emitted a charming luster like mutton-fat jade.
Especially her face; her exquisite features exuded the majesty of a superior, yet as her eyes shifted, they naturally revealed the laziness and allure unique to a mature woman.
"What a Peerless Grade mature woman. Coming to this Qingmu Peak was the right choice."
Qin Feng whistled secretly in his heart, the curve of his mouth deepening.
Xu Hongxia stepped barefoot into the Void Realm, her jade feet tapping lightly as she landed steadily on the white jade platform in front of the square.
She looked down from above at the silent, trembling old Disciples below, as well as the only newcomer, Qin Feng. Her red lips parted slightly, her voice cool yet carrying a somewhat husky, magnetic quality.
"Are you all mute? Weren't you arguing quite lively just a moment ago?!"
Xu Hongxia snorted coldly, a terrifying pressure belonging to a powerful expert instantly retracting and releasing with ease.
Gou Changgen and Zhou Qingzi turned pale with fright, falling to their knees with a "thud," not even daring to breathe loudly.
The other Disciples around them lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the fiery, beautiful Elder.
Only Qin Feng remained with his hands behind his back, his posture as straight as a pine, his eyes meeting Xu Hongxia's gaze on the platform calmly.
"Hmm?" Xu Hongxia's gaze swept over Qin Feng. Looking at this young man in black who remained calm under her pressure, a trace of imperceptible difference flashed in the depths of her beautiful eyes.
"Enough, this Elder has no time to care about your dog-eat-dog squabbles."
Xu Hongxia waved her sleeves lazily and announced directly to the point, "Since today is for selecting a Personal Disciple, the rules must follow my Qingmu Peak's standards. You did indeed take a talent test when you entered the sect, but that is already a thing of the past."
As she spoke, she paced on the white jade platform, her long, beautiful legs appearing and disappearing beneath her skirt, making people dizzy.
"On the path of cultivation, talent is the same principle as a person's intelligence."
"With the passage of time, the improvement of one's Realm, or even consuming some kind of Heaven And Earth Treasure, can make an original idiot suddenly enlightened! Therefore, talent is by no means an unchangeable, dead object!"
Xu Hongxia stopped and ordered, "Today's assessment is to re-test your Spiritual Root talent! Whoever stimulates the light to be brighter and higher, it means that person's current talent is stronger and their potential is greater!"
"Boom—!" As her voice fell, she waved her hand, and a huge Spirit Stone, three zhang high and crystal clear, smashed into the center of the square like a small mountain!
The hard bluestone floor was smashed, creating spiderweb-like cracks.
"Gulp..." Looking at the Spirit Stone exuding a mysterious aura, the dozens of Outer Sect old Disciples present swallowed their saliva frantically, their eyes filled with both nervousness and anticipation.
They had naturally heard the theory of talent changing; who wouldn't hope to be that chosen one who suddenly becomes enlightened?
"The assessment begins. Line up and come one by one!" Xu Hongxia returned to her grand chair, leaning back lazily, supporting her chin with one hand, looking indifferent.
"I'll go first!" A burly old Disciple took a deep breath, strode to the Spirit Stone, pressed his hands firmly on the cold crystal surface, and frantically urged the true essence in his body.
"Hum—" The base of the Spirit Stone lit up slightly, and a white glow rose slowly.
One foot... two feet... finally stopping at the two-and-a-half-foot position, unable to advance even a fraction further.
"Two and a half feet of glow, Medium Low Grade talent. Eliminated." Xu Hongxia didn't even lift her eyelids, giving the verdict mercilessly.
That Disciple's face turned ashen, and he retreated dejectedly.
Immediately after, the second, third, fourth... more than a dozen people went up in succession. The best one only stimulated four feet of glow, barely reaching the passing line of Medium Grade talent, but it still failed to satisfy Xu Hongxia.
"A bunch of rotten wood that cannot be carved." Xu Hongxia's brows already showed a bit of impatience.
"Elder, please calm your anger; this Disciple wishes to step forward and try!" Just then, Gou Changgen stood up abruptly.
He patted the dust off his knees, put on that conceited and arrogant expression again, and strode toward the Spirit Stone.
When passing by Qin Feng, he didn't forget to glare at him fiercely, lowering his voice and sneering, "You lowly scum from the Servant District, open your dog eyes and see clearly! What is true Outer Sect foundation, and what is a gifted genius!"
Qin Feng didn't even look at him, just opened his mouth without making a sound, but his lip shape expressed two words: "Idiot!"
"You—, you'll be crying later!" Gou Changgen was so angry he gritted his teeth, but due to the Elder's presence, he dared not act out, so he could only vent all his anger on the Spirit Stone.
He stood before the crystal, suddenly letting out a violent shout.
"Boom!" The thick true essence of Qi Refining Level 7 surged out without reservation, and his hands slammed onto the Spirit Stone.
In an instant, the originally lifeless crystal burst into a violent humming sound.
The red glow flowed upstream like a fountain, moving extremely fast!
One foot! Three feet! Five feet! In just a few breaths, the red glow broke through the six-foot barrier and finally locked firmly at the seven-foot position, exploding with a dazzling halo.
"Whoa—!" The whole place was dead silent for a second, then erupted into shouts of disbelief.
"Seven feet of glow, it's actually seven feet of glow?!"
"My god, seven feet represents the Peak of High Grade Spiritual Root talent. Looking at the entire Hehuan Sect Outer Sect, those who can reach this level are few and far between!"
"Senior Brother Gou actually hid so deeply. He will definitely be accepted as a Personal Disciple by Elder Xu now!"
The surrounding old Disciples showed looks of envy, jealousy, and hatred, and all kinds of flattery poured in like a tide.
"Senior Brother Gou, you are too amazing. Qingzi knew it, Senior Brother, you are the best chosen one!" Zhou Qingzi was so excited that she was trembling all over, her eyes full of little stars, wishing she could pounce on him right now.
Looking at that dazzling seven-foot glow, even Xu Hongxia, who had been indifferent, sat up slightly at this moment, a touch of appreciation flashing in her eyes.
"Seven feet of glow, High Grade. Not bad. You haven't wasted your years in the Outer Sect; you are indeed qualified to be this Elder's Disciple."
Hearing the high praise, Gou Changgen was so excited that his face turned red, and he felt as if he were going to float into the sky. He turned around, and with a high-and-mighty look, as if looking at a rat in a gutter, he pointed arrogantly at Qin Feng, who was standing at the end.
"Thank you for the compliment, Elder!" Gou Changgen pretended to be a magnanimous Senior and mocked sarcastically, "Junior Brother Qin, you are the only one left now. You are the 'first place' who just fought your way out of the Servant District competition, so don't let the Elder down. If you can't even light up one foot of glow later, you will truly become the biggest joke of the Outer Sect. Hahaha!"
"Hard to say; what kind of good talent can come from a mud pit like the Servant District? It would be good if he could light up one inch!" Zhou Qingzi also fanned the flames on the side, being extremely mean.
Facing their unscrupulous mockery, Qin Feng's expression was as calm as an ancient well, and not even a ripple appeared in his deep black eyes.
He slowly dusted off the non-existent dust on his moon-white robe, strode out with his long legs, and walked toward the Spirit Stone step by step, calmly and unhurriedly.
"Ants looking at the sky, do you even know how high the sky is?!" Qin Feng walked to the huge Spirit Stone, glanced coldly at Gou Changgen, and a mocking arc curled on the corner of his mouth, saying, "Open your dog eyes and watch clearly, your daddy is still your daddy."
The moment his voice fell, Qin Feng didn't deliberately gather his true essence like the others; he just casually pressed one hand on the cold crystal surface.
"Hum—!!!" The moment his palm touched the Spirit Stone!
The "Chaos Art" in Qin Feng's body, like an awakened ancient Vicious Beast, roared into operation!
At the same time, that trace of purple-gold Qi and blood belonging to the Heavenly Tyrant Body rushed into the interior of the crystal through his palm with unparalleled violence.
If other people's true essence was a trickle, then the power Qin Feng injected was simply a bursting Heavenly River!
"Rumble—!!!"
