Chapter 3 Showcasing Talent
Chapter 3 Showcasing Talent
The audience was stunned. Although they had prepared themselves mentally and knew that this little guy was extraordinary and that his performance would definitely be amazing, they still did not expect that his cultivation talent would be so heaven-defying.
"Could that red light be some kind of magical technique to enhance spiritual power?" someone questioned.
"No, I sparred with my junior brother before. This red light is a spiritual energy that he was born with," the senior brother Yunfeng explained to everyone.
"boom--!"
The red light in the little child's hand shone brightly again, and the spiritual energy on his body also surged once more, causing the announcement on the spirit-testing stone to change again. The original sixth stage of the Bone Building Realm had become the eighth stage of the Bone Building Realm.
This result is truly unbelievable. A toddler who is only 3 years old has actually reached the eighth level of the Bone Building Realm. Not to mention the famous and righteous sects in the world, even in the entire human realm, you can't find a second genius like him.
The disciples within the sect were all incredibly shocked, and even Xia Lang and his wife showed expressions of astonishment.
They thought that even if the little girl was highly talented, she would be no more than Xiao Yao, given her age. But the result was unexpected. They never imagined that their child would be left far behind. Xia Xiao Yao, who had been called a cultivation genius since childhood, paled in comparison to the little girl.
"If I remember correctly, Junior Brother's cultivation period was only 5 months, right?"
"My God! What kind of monster is this? In just five months of cultivation, it has surpassed the cultivation levels of others who have cultivated for decades."
The crowd snapped out of their daze and began to discuss the child's extraordinary talent, which was like a thunderbolt from the blue, leaving everyone speechless.
The results of this spirit-testing ceremony brought great joy to the entire sect. All the disciples were very strong and had enormous potential. As for Youyang, he was an unexpected prodigy. His talent for cultivation was enough to shock the entire human realm.
After the crowd left, Xia Lang left behind the inheritors of the eight great spirit swords and the little baby.
Xia Lang addressed the remaining group, saying, "Our Wanjian Manor's eight spirit swords have not appeared for a hundred years. Do you want to know why these eight spirit swords were chosen to be unveiled at this spirit-testing ceremony?"
The disciples shook their heads, indicating their confusion.
"More than 20 years ago, the Human Emperor fell, and his body was buried in the ancient ruins of the tombs of successive Human Emperors. According to reports, the ancient ruins will appear in three months. The Eight Great Spirit Swords have emerged, hoping to entrust you with their mission to enter the ancient ruins and find the method to advance to immortal artifacts, so as to recreate the former glory of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor. Since they have recognized you as their masters, they will naturally protect you for life. This journey into the ancient ruins will also be a trial for you," Xia Lang explained.
The little boy was puzzled: "I'm not the inheritor of the Spirit Sword. Why are you asking me to stay?"
Xia Lang smiled, clearly pleased with the little boy's talent for cultivation, and said, "Your talent is exceptional, so I can't let it go to waste in my Ten Thousand Swords Manor. This time, you will travel with them to gain experience."
"I'm not going!" the little child answered firmly.
"Ahem!" Xia Lang put away his smile and said with a kind face, "There are many delicious rare birds and beasts in this ancient ruin. You can definitely eat your fill once you go in."
"Really? Then I'll reluctantly agree to go and take a look." The little boy's eyes lit up instantly at the mention of delicious food. He reluctantly agreed.
The speed at which he changed his expression was so fast, it probably couldn't even keep up with flipping through a book, right? This drew laughter and ridicule from the senior students who remained behind.
When Xia Lang heard the little boy readily agree, in order to prevent him from going back on his word, he immediately assigned him a task: "You have three months left. Your senior brother and senior sister Luo Luo will teach you swordsmanship. During these three months, you must learn at least one move, so that you can save your life even if you encounter danger."
Hearing Xia Lang's arrangement, the little boy's previously smiling face instantly turned into a mournful one, but he had no choice but to obey. He glanced at Chen Luoluo, who was smiling at him, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart: "No way! If I fall into this brat's hands, my glorious life is destined to become full of ups and downs. What a pity for my handsome face! Although this woman is pretty, she will eventually become an old ox. What if she says something shocking again? I must make sure my Dao heart is firm!"
Xia Lang took out a peach wood sword and tossed it to the little boy: "Use this weapon to practice swordsmanship for the remaining three months. I'll get you an even better one later." Afterward, he gave some simple instructions to his fellow disciples and then told them to go back and rest.
The little boy returned to his room and began to play with the peach wood sword that Xia Lang had given him. After studying it for several tens of minutes, he couldn't figure it out at all, because the peach wood sword was just a pretty face with no substance. It was useless and he couldn't even sense any spiritual power in it.
"Thump, thump, thump...!"
There was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" the little boy asked, a thought creeping into his mind: "It's almost noon, who could it be? Sigh, if nothing unexpected happens, it probably isn't a good person."
The little boy cautiously pushed open the door, only to be met with a pretty figure bursting in like a robber. She rushed over, pinched his cheeks, and rubbed and squeezed them, then laughed and said, "You haven't seen me for half an hour? Did you miss me?"
Sure enough, she really isn't a good person! The little kid rolled her eyes speechlessly, pouting her little mouth and glaring angrily, "Senior Sister Luo Luo, stop pinching me! You're going to ruin my handsome face! Let go!"
Seeing the little boy's angry expression, Chen Luoluo squeezed him even harder, her smile never fading: "My dear junior brother, do you know? You look even cuter when you're angry."
The little girl struggled to break free from Chen Luoluo's clutches, her voice tinged with reproach: "What are you doing here in the middle of the day instead of eating? Don't tell me you came here just to pinch my cheeks, or I'll really kick you out."
Looking at this little adult who was only three years old, Chen Luoluo couldn't be serious at all. She could only say awkwardly, "Isn't it because Master asked me to come and teach you swordsmanship? I also wanted to see what my cutest little foodie junior brother usually eats."
The little girl finally understood the meaning behind Chen Luoluo's words: "Goodness! I get it now. You've said so much just to freeload a meal? Sigh~! Fine, since you're going to teach me swordsmanship, I'll reluctantly let you freeload a meal. I must say, you came at the perfect time, just in time for me to eat some new ingredients today. You're lucky."
Chen Luoluo had long heard that his master's wife, Jiang Liyan, doted on this junior brother. Because of his gluttonous nature, she bought many rare birds and seafood to raise in the backyard and specially designed the front yard as a place for cooking and eating.
Because Chen Luoluo couldn't stand the food in the sect's canteen today, she came up with the idea of mooching a meal.
The little boy led Chen Luoluo to the pond in the backyard. He was secretly surprised, and Chen Luoluo was secretly surprised as well. He could clearly sense that there was a terrifying creature with extremely high cultivation in the pond.
The little boy took off his shirt, revealing a physique that seemed out of place for his age, and then began stretching. Chen Luoluo asked suspiciously, "You're not going to tell me you're going to jump down and catch some food, are you?"
The little boy was speechless at his senior's nonsense. He even doubted whether the woman had a brain at all. He said irritably, "Otherwise what? Do you expect me to conjure up the ingredients for lunch out of thin air? I don't have that ability. Also, stand back a bit later. If you get knocked out by some blind, unscrupulous fish, you won't get to eat lunch today."
Chen Luoluo nodded somewhat bewildered, but felt there was something amiss in the little girl's words: "How come I remember my cultivation level being higher than yours? You should be the one being careful, and I sensed a very strong aura, an aura that is at least at the Qi Transformation Realm level."
"I didn't expect you to be so picky. Fine, I was going to keep that lousy fish for a few more months, but since you want to eat it, let's catch it and see what it tastes like." With that, the little boy jumped into the water.
Chen Luoluo's brain was a bit blank at this moment. If he hadn't misheard, he was going to go into the water to catch that Qi Transformation Realm fish for lunch. A Bone Building Realm cultivator fighting a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator and then catching it to use as food was simply outrageous.
A moment later, red light appeared on the surface of the pool, and whirlpools began to form on the originally calm surface. With a "splash!", a large layer of water splashed up, and a huge creature fell from the sky and crashed straight to the ground. A tiny child also fell down and landed heavily on the huge creature's body.
The little baby shook off the water, clapped his hands, and said breathlessly, "I didn't expect you to be so troublesome. You almost hurt me, it's unforgivable! Just wait and see how I'll fry you in oil later."
Chen Luoluo, standing to the side, looked at the little girl with a look of shock and disbelief. She had just used her spiritual eye to examine the cultivation level of the big fish in front of her, which was at the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm. If this matter were to spread today, it would surely be a sensation.
Chen Luoluo asked the little child with concern, "That big fish's cultivation level is quite high, are you alright?"
The little boy waved his hand dismissively, grinning and saying, "If I can't even handle these little fish and shrimp in my own backyard, then there's no point in me cultivating. Let's go back and make lunch!" With that, he easily lifted the large fish, which weighed over a hundred pounds, and walked straight to the front yard.
