Asura Mad Emperor

However, faced with Elder Yuan's questioning, Qinchuan was neither confirming nor denying, and he appeared calm and collected, showing not a hint of panic or unease.

Seeing Qinchuan admit directly, Liu Qingyu, Liu Yuanjie, and Zhou Rong all sneered continuously. In their eyes, Qinchuan dared to disrespect the rules of the Congyun Sect by causing a disturbance at the assessment site and beating up the official disciples in charge of maintaining order.

This was absolutely a heinous act.

He would surely enrage Elder Yuan, who was in charge of the first round of assessments, and he would harshly punish Qinchuan and expel him from the mountain.

However, what nobody expected was.

Upon seeing Qinchuan's admission, Elder Yuan's eyes suddenly shone bright with excitement, "You really beat up Liu Qingyu and Zhuo Bufan?"

"Liu Qingyu and Zhuo Bufan have been with the sect for many years and are now at the Meridian Opening Realm Cultivation Level. For you to be so young and yet able to defeat both Liu Qingyu and Zhuo Bufan, good, very good, our Congyun Sect is in need of geniuses like you!"

"What is your name?"

Elder Yuan asked in a friendly and polite tone.

Contrary to everyone's expectations.

After learning the truth, Elder Yuan was not angry but instead seemed excited and thrilled!

He had long observed the air of years on Qinchuan's body, only sixteen traces of the years.

This meant that Qinchuan was only sixteen years old.

At sixteen, to be able to defeat his Congyun Sect's official disciples, and moreover, those at the Meridian Opening Realm Cultivation Level!

What sort of talent and potential was this?

Definitely a top-notch genius!

Such a genius had not gone to Taixuan Sect, the foremost among the six Superior Sects of Shanhe County, but had come to his Congyun Sect instead. How could he not be overjoyed?

Qinchuan was also slightly stunned before responding, "Qinchuan."

"Qinchuan?"

"Good name, come with me, and I will check your Root Bone first."

Elder Yuan said with a chuckle, then turned his head and snorted coldly at Liu Qingyu and the others, admonishing, "Humph, Liu Yuanjie, take good care of your brother. Don't think that I don't know. If it weren't for your brother relying on your relationship to act arrogantly here, how could Qinchuan possibly have hit him?"

"Let's leave it at this for now, but if there is a next time, don't blame this elder for not being polite!"

"What?"

Hearing Elder Yuan's words and seeing his attitude toward Qinchuan, Liu Qingyu and the others suddenly had their eyes wide open in disbelief.

They never expected Elder Yuan not only to refrain from harshly teaching and punishing Qinchuan but to turn around and give them a thorough scolding!

"Elder Yuan, you..."

Liu Qingyu said resentfully, wanting to say something else.

However, Zhuo Bufan suddenly spoke up, "Elder Yuan has keen insight. Indeed, it was Liu Qingyu's brother who started the trouble first, and the reason I sparred with Brother Qinchuan was also due to being incited by Liu Qingyu. I am at fault for this matter and will go to the Penalty Hall to admit my guilt later!"

Zhuo Bufan had calmed down by now. Qinchuan had obviously held back earlier and even gave him guidance without holding a grudge. Of course, he had no reason to target Qinchuan anymore.

And he had realized that he had been used by Liu Qingyu.

"Um, Zhuo Bufan, it is good that you have come to your senses in time and are willing to admit your mistake,"

"Admitting and correcting one's errors is commendable. Moreover, you were just instigated, so let's drop the matter. You need not go to the Penalty Hall."

"But you, Liu Qingyu, humph, after this event, you should go to the Penalty Hall to admit your guilt! You need to learn a lesson."

Elder Yuan nodded approvingly at Zhuo Bufan, who took the initiative to confess his fault, then turned to Liu Qingyu and said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyu's expression changed dramatically, realizing that he had been outmaneuvered by Zhuo Bufan once again. Although his heart was filled with rage, he could not say anything else at the moment and had to swallow his teeth in bitterness, murmuring, "Elder's lesson is well-taught, after descending I will go to the Law Enforcement Hall to confess my guilt."

However, his eyes were brimming with resentment and unwillingness.

Elder Yuan didn't bother with whether Liu Qingyu was willing or not; he glanced at him indifferently and proceeded to lead Qinchuan and Qin Xiaoyu towards the front of the square to be the first to check their Martial Arts Physiques.

Seeing Elder Yuan turn and leave, Zhuo Bufan turned his head toward Liu Qingyu with a hint of mockery surfacing on his face, "Liu Qingyu, isn't this like lifting a rock only to drop it on your own feet? Hahaha..."

"Remember to go to the Law Enforcement Hall to confess after the assessment is over. I'll be watching you, so don't think about slipping away!"

"Zhuo Bufan, you!"

Liu Qingyu was instantly filled with anger; his fists clenched tight, his eyes dark and ominous.

But towards Zhuo Bufan, he was helpless.

Zhuo Bufan's cultivation level now suppressed him by a level, and with his grandfather, an Inner Sect Elder, backing him, Liu Qingyu couldn't possibly contend with him. His only option was to vent his anger on Qinchuan, who lacked any significant backing.

His gaze fell upon Qinchuan, who was departing with Elder Yuan; eyes brimming with resentment and unwillingness, he growled inwardly, "Qinchuan, Qinchuan!"

"Back in Great Wilderness City, you made me lose all my face, and now you've gotten me this punishment, I will never let you off!"

Liu Qingyu took a deep breath, forcibly pushing down his rage, his eyes flickering with malevolent schemes as a cold sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, Elder Yuan had already brought Qinchuan and Qin Xiaoyu to the very front of the square.

Thereupon, Elder Yuan took out a precious mirror, activated it with True Qi, and a beam of light burst from the mirror, shining upon Qinchuan.

All at once, Qinchuan's body erupted with dazzling brilliance, like a blazing sun, outshining the light emitted from every other youth who took part in the assessment!

This instantly provoked exclamations from everyone else on the square.

"Heavens!"

"Such intense brilliance, could he be the legendary prodigy with supreme cultivation talent?!"

All over the square, many young men and women cried out, squinting at the light bursting from Qinchuan's body, feeling their eyes pricked by the intense glare.

Zhuo Bufan's gaze also sharpened, his heart stirred, not expecting Qinchuan's Root Bone to be so formidable.

Seeing this, Liu Qingyu, Liu Yuanjie, and Zhou Rong, all drew a sharp breath and fixed their gazes on Qinchuan.

"His Martial Arts Physique is so powerful, with such a Root Bone, and also such strength, he will surely pass the three rounds of the entrance examination and enter the Sect!"

Liu Qingyu couldn't help but clench his fists, his face becoming terribly somber.

However, at this moment, the most shocked were not the young people around.

It was Elder Yuan!

At this moment.

What others couldn't see, only Elder Yuan, who was in charge of the assessment, could see in that precious mirror, was an even more terrifying scene now unfolding!

Nine Layers of shocking phenomena, each unfolding one after another, filled the entire mirror to the brim!

This mirror, used for detecting Root Bone, can only show an image when it detects truly exceptional talent.

Until now, the mirror had been in use for thirty thousand years without showing an image!

But now, within this mirror, not only did an image appear, but it also continuously manifested the Nine Layers of phenomenal phenomena!

Especially the last Layer, with surging seas of blood, an immense figure stood between heaven and earth, emanating a terrifying aura that shook Elder Yuan's soul!

Even through the mirror, seeing only an image, it still made him tremble all over, breaking out in a cold sweat!
