It is called the Wuji Spiritual Root.
According to legend, it has no shadow or form. It is transparent.
This kind of spiritual root is more than ten times, even a hundred times stronger than a ninth-grade one.
But this kind of spiritual root exists only in myths. It simply doesnt exist in reality.
What, do you think you have a Wuji Spiritual Root?
The Tower Master gave a mocking laugh. A ninth-grade spiritual root is something you will look up to for the rest of your life. Cherish this chance to stand face-to-face with a ninth-grade prodigy!
Once he grows up, you wont even be qualified to have him look you in the eye for the rest of your life!
Hearing this, the young mans eyes filled with bitterness.
A single talent test had decided the difference in status between their futures.
One was a true dragon in the heavens, the other an ant on the ground.
This contrast was so cruel it drove one to despair.
Jiang Fan, in the secret chamber next door, naturally sensed the commotion as well.
No way, right? Lu Zheng has a ninth-grade spiritual root?
Jiang Fan looked astonished. If Lu Zheng had such talent, then why had he consumed the Xu familys resources for ten years and still been inferior to Xu Yinings sixth grade?
Just as he was pondering this, he suddenly discovered that his own crystal ruler had reacted again.
A cluster of pale, misty light flew out of the ruler and landed before him.
When the radiance dispersed, it turned out to be two cultivation manuals!
Huh? Are these cultivation manuals rewarded to me? Jiang Fan was delighted.
He hurriedly picked them up and examined them carefully.
One was a high-grade Yellow-rank mental cultivation method called the True Scripture of the Clear Wind.
The other was a high-grade Yellow-rank offensive technique called the Seven Star Sword Art.
The highest-level cultivation manuals in Lone Boat City were only mid-grade Yellow-rank.
Yet he had obtained two high-grade Yellow-rank manuals at the same time!
Most importantly, one of them was the mental cultivation method he urgently needed!
What grade am I, exactly? To think I was given such a high reward? Jiang Fan could not help being surprised.
Xu Yining, with a sixth-grade spiritual root, had only been rewarded with one low-grade Yellow-rank mental cultivation method.
But no matter the reason, with these two cultivation manuals and this transparent spiritual root, his strength would soar by leaps and bounds in the shortest possible time!
He tucked the manuals away and opened the stone door.
The loud sound of the door opening drew the attention of countless onlookers.
So its Jiang Fan! You startled me. I thought Lu Zheng had come out!
Jiang Fans test this time seems to have shown no spiritual root again, right?
Sigh, just one wall apart. One is an unrivaled ninth-grade prodigy, the other has no spiritual root. This gap is not ordinary!
The Xu family is truly a magical place. Ten years living under someone elses roof can raise both a piece of trash and a true dragon who will look down on the world. Haha.
Jiang Fan frowned.
He wanted to argue with them, but on second thought, why bother?
Secretly cultivating the two high-grade Yellow-rank manuals and quietly improving his strength was the best path.
Right now, he had no one to rely on. If people learned the truth about him, it would only be easier to attract huge trouble.
So he responded with a calm smile.
Jiang Fan, youre here too? Whats the situation inside? Xu Yining and Xu Zhengyan rushed over and discovered Jiang Fan, who had also been undergoing the test.
Xu Yining bit her red lips tightly and questioned him in rapid succession.
Jiang Fan calmly wrote a note: Lu Zheng tested as having a ninth-grade spiritual root.
What?
Xu Yinings face instantly turned pale. She staggered several steps, unable to believe this reality. Impossible. This is impossible!
A ninth-grade spiritual root had truly appeared?
And it was Lu Zheng, who had been fostered in her own family?
Proud and competitive as she was, she could not withstand the blow, and tears fell from her eyes.
Jiang Fan sighed silently. He had always felt that there was something off about Lu Zhengs spiritual root test result, so he casually comforted her by writing: Cultivate with peace of mind and quietly await the future.
Xu Yining glanced at it, but felt that this was Jiang Fan mocking her. She said angrily, Are you happy to see me cry?
Do you think I got what I deserved for rejecting your marriage proposal?
Youre overthinking it. No matter how inferior I am to Lu Zheng, I am still a prodigy with a sixth-grade spiritual root, a hundred, a thousand times stronger than a cripple like you!
Jiang Fan was speechless.
If youre angry, why vent it on me?
Truly a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not knowing a good persons heart!
Just then, the Tower Master, who had likewise noticed Xu Zhengyans arrival, quickly ran over, forcing an incomparably warm smile onto his face.
Brother Xu, congratulations, congratulations!
Xu Zhengyan was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.
The Master of the Testing Tower usually never showed anyone a pleasant face. Only to the City Lord would he give the slightest smile.
For the Tower Master to suddenly be so cordial and even address him as Brother Xu made Xu Zhengyan feel light all over, as if he were stepping on cotton.
Then Ye Jifeng, the strongest expert in Lone Boat City and the City Lord, also came over with cupped fists. Patriarch Xu, this is truly worth celebrating. A true dragon has emerged from the Xu residence!
Looking at Ye Jifengs face, which was forcing a smile, Xu Zhengyan felt even more as if he were dreaming.
Once upon a time, he had brought generous gifts to visit Ye Jifeng, only to be turned away at the door. Ye Jifeng had not even bothered to acknowledge him.
Yet now, with envy and jealousy in his heart, Ye Jifeng was taking the initiative to show goodwill to him.
Several old monsters who usually lived in seclusion, whom Xu Zhengyan had previously needed to address respectfully as seniors, also came forward warmly to chat, speaking of the connections between Xu Zhengyans great-grandfather, even the Xu family ancestors, and their own families.
It was as if overnight, the Xu family had suddenly grown from an obscure, declining clan into Lone Boat Citys most sought-after number one family.
Xu Zhengyan remained dazed for a long while before gradually calming down.
He understood that this was all thanks to Lu Zheng!
Wang Yingfeng walked over with a proud expression. Husband, back then when I overruled all objections and brought Zhenger to the Xu family to be raised and nurtured, what did you say?
Hearing this, Xu Zhengyans face filled with shame.
Back then, he had strongly opposed it. After all, the Xu familys resources were limited. If they were given to an outsider, the familys own clansmen would have much less.
It was only because Wang Yingfeng had threatened him with death that he had reluctantly agreed.
Never would he have imagined that Lu Zheng would prove so worthy!
I was blind. It is all thanks to you, my lady, our lucky star, that our Xu family has attached itself to Zhenger, this future peerless mighty figure!
Xu Zhengyan embraced Wang Yingfeng, his heart filled with emotion.
Wang Yingfengs face glowed with glory. Isnt that so?
Back then, that eighth-grade prodigy from Biyun City was said to have directly entered the Tianji Pavilion and later became the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion.
Our Zhenger is a ninth-grade prodigy. The Tianji Pavilion will come to recruit him immediately!
Your Xu family can just wait to rise to great heights with my Zhenger leading you!
Xu Zhengyans heart swayed.
Lu Zhengs ninth-grade spiritual root would change not only Lu Zhengs own fate, but also the fate of the entire Xu family!
Not long after, under everyones eager anticipation, Lu Zheng finally opened the stone door and walked out with a confident expression.
