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.
Sun Yuanhao was extremely clean and short, but Zhao Feng felt an aura similar to Bei Moi’s radiating from him. As if sensing his gaze, Sun Yuanhao smiled at him innocently.
Time passed on slowly.
A few hours later, a faint light appeared in the sky. Dawn had appeared. The rays of sunlight shone towards the mist of the Sky Moon Mountain, reflecting a glorious silver glow. The shape of the mountain appeared, but the mist around the mountain made it hard to see what was inside.
Faintly, Zhao Feng seemed to see a mesmerizing scene. There were creeks, rivers, and even farmlands to grow crops. On top of the green hill, there were blocks and blocks of buildings.
When Zhao Feng fully circulated his left eye, he saw a deep green palace floating in the sky and azure lightning flooded around it…
“What!? The entire palace is floating midair inside lightning?” Zhao Feng was stunned.
Every item inside the Clan seemed to be different from the outside world. The palace was extremely stunning as it sat between lightning and wind, giving it a feeling of awe and holiness.
Zhao Feng’s heart couldn’t calm down, and he felt a thumping sound coming from his left eye as if it had sensed something. He wanted to ask others, but he couldn’t since that palace was extremely far away and hid behind a mist which those of the Ascended Realm couldn’t see past.
A bright flash of white light appeared from the cliff’s other side. Zhao Feng saw a stone door weighing a few thousand kilograms lift slowly.
“The gate is opening!” From the crowd came cheers.
A few of the figures immediately rushed onto the U-shaped path.
“The entrance test is starting soon.” Lord Guanjun warned his three disciples and led the way.
After reaching the end of the path, they arrived in front of the stone gate. This stone gate was the entrance to the Broken Moon Clan.
There were four youths standing there, and each of them had a terrifying aura which made even those of the ninth rank tremble.
Opening his left eye, Zhao Feng found that the strength of the four youths was on par with Lord Guanjun. Lord Guanjun was of the Second Sky of the Ascended Realm and the youths were around there, too.
In the mortal world, they would be powerful figures, but here they were only guards.
Lord Guanjun and the others all took out a special token as they went past.
“Greetings, Deacon Qiu!”
Members of the Clan appeared as the group of people entered the mountain, there were dozens of them, with each of them radiating a strong aura.
These members all wore black striped shirts and they were all of the Ascended Realm. The person leading them was a middle-aged man called by the others as Deacon Qiu.
“Greetings, Deacon Qiu!”
Lord Guanjun and the others all came up and bowed down. The youths behind them immediately followed suit.
Zhao Feng felt nothing from Deacon Qiu, but when he opened his left eye, he felt a terrifying power coursing through the Deacon which made his blood boil.
This Deacon Qiu’s strength is much stronger than Master's. He can kill those of the Holy Martial Path with just one finger, Zhao Feng immediately analyzed the Deacon and promptly closed the abilities of his left eye because he was scared of being found out by the man.
“Everyone follow me.” Deacon Qiu’s eyes scanned across the people present as if he was looking at ants.
Soon, the group arrived in front of a large stone stage. On the stage, there was a crystal beam ten meters high and half a meter wide that shone under the sunlight.
“The first test, Spiritual Sky Beam. Everyone come and get your numbers.” Deacon Qiu ordered those of the older generation to take the youths, register them, and collect their numbers.
“Zhao Feng, number 49.”
“Yang Qingshan, number 50.”
After taking their respective number plates, Zhao Feng saw some disciples had come to watch. One of them was a handsome youth wearing a black-striped shirt who smiled as he spoke to Lord Guanjun, “Uncle Xu Ran, we meet again.”
Yang Qingshan and the others looked at him with wariness and enmity.
This handsome youth was Quan Chen, the person who had taken Bei Moi away that day.
Chapter 107 - A True Changeable Body
Quan Chen’s appearance disturbed Zhao Feng and the others.
Lord Guanjun was calm. “Don’t worry, he’s just a disciple who’s at the Third Sky of the Ascended Realm, and he doesn’t have enough power to interfere with the test.”
On the stone stage, Deacon Qiu surveyed the watching disciples with warning in his eyes. These disciples seemed to be stuck by lightning, and they immediately retreated to a certain distance and became quiet.
Even Quan Chen did so, he seemed afraid of Deacon Qiu as well.
In the Broken Moon Clan, Deacons were already middle tier. Not only did they have high authority, they were also at the Ascended Realm.
“The first test, Spiritual Sky Beam, tests your talent. See that crystal circle beam? That is the items used to measure your talent,” Lord Guanjun told his disciples.
Zhao Feng and the other two turned towards the crystal beam that was five meters high. It was similar to the crystal ball test given before, but much stronger.
Soon, the youths had received their number plates, which had their simple information inside.
“The first test of the Spiritual Sky Beam begins. Number 1, Zhang Junchen,” a disciple announced.
On the stage, Deacon Qiu sat on his chair while the men under him did all the work.
Soon, number 1 Zhang Junchen stepped onto the stage and arrived in front of the Spiritual Sky Beam. The testing method was the same as the crystal ball - gather your mental energy and put it into the beam.
Layers of white light appeared on the beam and the light reached two meters high.
The entire Spiritual Sky Beam was five meters tall, the first four half
meters meant a Mortal Body: low, middle, high, peak. The youth’s talent reached two meters, which meant that he was a peak Mortal Body.
“A Mortal Body even wants to enter the Clan? In your dreams! Get out of here!” a cold voice resounded around the stone stage. The youth that had just been tested walked down the stage as if his soul had been lost, and he was taken away by disciples of the Clan.
This scene caused Zhao Feng and the other two to look at each other in shock. One had to know that a genius like Zhao Linlong only had a higher Mortal Body. Even with talent like his, they were sent home straight away.
In reality, not everyone had the chance to test their talent beforehand, since they didn’t have a crystal ball like Lord Guanjun.
Soon, some other youths appeared to be tested. The second youth had a better score than the first youth with his light reaching two and a half meters, representing a low tier Spiritual Body.
“Low tier Spiritual Body, pass. Two points for the first test.”
According to the rules, as long as one’s talent passed two meters, they were accepted and given a score in respect to what height their talent reached.
Two and a quarter meters was one point and it represented a half-spiritual body.
Two and a half meters was two points and represent a low tier Spiritual Body.
Two and three-quarter meters was three points and the talent was between a low-middle Spiritual Body.
If one’s talent reached three and a half meters, they would get six points as it meant a high Spiritual Body.
Six points was a perfect score to a certain extent because if one’s talent was like Bei Moi’s, they would receive ten points and enter the Clan straight away without even taking the remaining tests.
Thus, the first test was the most important.
“Number 27, Xiao Sun!” the disciple calling out the names shouted out.
The youths immediately looked at Xiao Sun, the only one who had reached the ninth rank.
The light on the beam flashed so brightly that people from miles away could even see it.
Three and a quarter meters! The youths below watching were stunned.
“Three and a quarter meters, pass. Five points.”
Xiao Sun’s marks was almost perfect because anyone over six points in the first test would be taken in without a doubt.
The examination continued with at least one-third of the youths being eliminated.
“Number 33, Yun Mengxiang!” At this moment, the gazes of the youths were attracted by this noble girl, the princess of the Cloud Country, Yun Mengxiang.
The light rose three meters high on the beam. Her talent was a mid-tier Spiritual Body.
“Three meters, pass. Four points.”
The talent of most of the youths were below three meters and being a princess who had extremely good looks and high talent, her future couldn’t be imagined.
Zhao Feng couldn’t help but nod his head, the youths he was interested in all had good talent.
“Number 41, Liu Yue’er!”
A smiling girl floated onstage. Zhao Feng watched her with interest. She was pretty displeased with him before and from the confident look she had, she probably had good talent.
The shining light on the beam was so bright that everyone within a ten miles’ radius could see it.
Oh heavens...!
The youths below were all shocked. The light had reached three and a half meters!
Three and a half!!!!
“Good! High Tier Spiritual Body! Three and a half meters! This is the best result so far. Number 41 Liu Yue’er you don’t need to take the other tests, and you can enter the Clan straight away.”
Even Deacon Qiu’s eyes lit up. High Tier Spiritual Body! This was the best result from the testing up so far.
“Lord Cangtie, I can’t believe that your granddaughter has such high talent.” Lord Guanjun's expression moved slightly.
“Haha, same here. Your disciple Zhao Feng won’t be far off Yue’er anyways,” Lord Cangtie smiled. Because Zhao Feng’s age was around Liu Yue’er’s age and their cultivation was around the same, Lord Cangtie automatically assumed that Zhao Feng’s talent was similar to Liu Yue’ers.
Lord Guanjun gave a smile in response but kept silent.
After Liu Yue’er’s test, no one else surpassed her. Only a few were able to reach the middle tier Spiritual Body because there was a large difference between a middle and a low tier Spiritual Body.
“Number 49, Zhao Feng!” the disciple’s voice sounded. It was Zhao Feng’s turn, and Lord Guanjun and Lord Cangtie focused on him.
Not far away, Liu Yue’er gave him a provocative glance. No one had surpassed her up to now. Zhao Feng glanced at Liu Yue’er casually before walking confidently up the steps.
Liu Yue’er and Lord Cangtie were both shocked. From Zhao Feng’s eyes, they saw disdain, as if he wasn’t putting Liu Yue’er in his eyes.
“Ahhh! Let’s see what your talent is then!”
Liu Yue’er puffed angrily, but facing Zhao Feng’s casual and confident look, she had a bad feeling. Could his talent be better than mine?
Even Lord Cangtie had a solemn expression. Stepping onto the stage, Zhao Feng put his hand onto the Spiritual Sky Beam.
The light on the beam surged up to one meter before trembling slightly, then speeding up to two and a half meters. When it reached that point, the light almost stopped.
Zhao Feng felt his left eye twitch, but he didn’t open it or else the light would easily reach four meters. In the past few days, he had been training to control how much talent he showed by testing it with the crystal ball.
“Two and a half meters, low tier Spiritual Body, pass! Two points!” His score for the first stage was announced.
Zhao Feng’s talent was extremely normal, and he didn’t catch the eye of anyone.
“Just a low tier Spiritual Body? Haha…,” Liu Yue’er laughed mockingly at Zhao Feng. At the same time both she and Lord Cangtie let out a breath. The grandfather and granddaughter had been scared due to Zhao Feng’s confident look.
Zhao Feng walked off stage and looked playfully at Liu Yue’er.
“This smelly brat is trying to be cool!”
Liu Yue’er was so angry that she started trembling and finally, she realized that she had been toyed with by Zhao Feng. Lord Cangtie didn’t have anything to say either, he had thought that Zhao Feng had supreme talent because of Lord Guanjun’s silence before.
Quan Chen, who was also watching, smiled disdainfully. “Low tier Spiritual Body? People like him won’t even be raised properly by the Clan. He’s destined to be at the bottom of the Clan.” Even Quan Chen didn’t put Zhao Feng’s talent in his eyes, so how would an elder?
The examination continued, and Zhao Feng’s performance didn’t raise anyone’s attention. Lord Guanjun also let out a breath, the first step of the plan had been successful.
Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan both went up to test, and their talents were three meters and two and three-quarters meters, respectively.
Zhao Feng hadn't thought that Yang Qingshan would have a middle tier Spiritual Body and Nan Gongfan would be in between low and middle tier.
“Middle tier Spiritual Body? Not bad, but it’s almost impossible to threaten Master. Hm… looks like we’ll have to pay a bit of attention to this Yang Qingshan…” Yang Qingshan’s results caught the attention of Quan Chen, but the latter still had a carefree attitude.
The first stage was coming to an end.
“Number 72, Sun Yunhao!”
The name caught Zhao Feng’s attention. A youth who was thirteen-some years old walked onto stage. He was even younger than Zhao Feng, but he was at the eighth rank of the Martial Path. His potential even caught Deacon Qiu’s eye.
Sun Yunhao anxiously put his hand onto the Spiritual Sky Beam.
The light stopped when it reached one and a quarter meters or so.
The crowd watching wa
s slightly surprised because Sun Yunhao had reached an extremely high cultivation level at his age.
The light on the Spiritual Sky Beam suddenly went up and down and it was extremely unstable.
Suddenly, the light jumped to two and a half meters, then fell back down to one meter.
Weird!
This scene made Zhao Feng remember the situation that Zhao Yufei had when she had tested her talent with the crystal ball, because the situation back then was extremely unstable as well. But this time, they were testing with the Spiritual Sky Beam, which was more developed...
The light surged to three meters and closed in on three and a half meters.
Oh heavens! What was happening? The crowd was stunned.
“This… could it be the extremely rare Changeable Body?” Deacon Qiu asked himself.
Wengxiu~~
Suddenly, the light exploded and reached four meters, giving off a light so strong that everything within tens of miles was covered by it.
Four meters! The eyes of the crowd almost popped out.
Quan Chen’s jaw had almost fell out. “His talent is even close to Bei Moi’s!”
Another super genius!
“...this is a true Changeable Body.” Zhao Feng calmed down from the shock and excitement while Lord Guanjun next to him had a questioning look on his face.
Chapter 108 - Mechanism Test
Sun Yuanhao’s talent made Zhao Feng sweat profoundly because this was a true Changeable Body. But because Lord Guanjun didn’t know much about Changeable Bodies since they were much too rare, he didn’t say anything.
At this moment everyone, including Deacon Qiu, was moved. The light from the Spiritual Sky Beam had almost covered half of the Sky Moon Mountain.
“Changeable Body, at least at the peak tier Spiritual Body, full marks! Accepted into the clan straight away!” Deacon Qiu finally reacted and announced.
Sun Yuanhao had beat Liu Yue’er, and he was immediately taken in by the Clan. As he walked down the stage, others stared at him with envy and jealousy.
