Chapter 126 – Xuan Power Test

The one who assessed Yun Che’s group was an old man with a majestic face, he stood in front of the Xuan Test Stone, swept a glance at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: ”The first level of the assessment is the Xuan Strength Test. I’ll reiterate once more, the minimum threshold for entering the government: fifteen years old into the Xuan realm level one, sixteen years old into the Xuan realm level three, seventeen years old into the Xuan realm level five, eighteen years old into the Xuan realm level six, age less than fifteen or more than eighteen, as well as Xuan power lower than the minimum standard, please consciously withdraw, don’t delude yourself into thinking that the Xuan stone’s test will be any mistake!”

These kinds of words, the Cang Feng Xuanfu would reiterate many times every year, but there were still a large number of people who were brushed off in the first round every year, because there were too many unwilling, fluke-minded, young Xuanists who didn’t want to come for nothing, and were looking forward to malfunctions in the Xuanstones. Therefore, although there has been a very clear and strict standards put there, the first round will still be brushed down a large half.

After the old man finished his words, there was not a single person present who quit, he waved his hand, stood next to the Xuan stone and said, “Now, the first round of assessment begins, whose name I call out, whoever comes up will press their hand onto the Xuan stone.” While saying that, the old man picked up the list in his hand and shouted, “First: Han Chi!”

“It’s starting… …… Brother-in-law, you’re currently in the sixteen year old segment, and your current xuan power is a full seven levels above the standard! After a while, you’ll definitely be able to take everyone by surprise.” Xia Yuanba, who was following behind Yun Che, said with an uplifted face. From the moment Qin Wuyou promised to place him in the Xuan Mansion’s Outer Mansion, the excitement within his heart had never subsided, and to this day, he still had the feeling that he was dreaming.

The one whose name was called was a young man who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, he stood in front of the Xuan Testing Stone and carefully pressed his hand on it, a nervous expression on his face.

Soon, the Xuanxuan stone flickered, and three clear lines of text appeared on it:

First line: Age: 17 years old.

Second line: Xuan power: Entry Xuan realm level 4.

Third line: unqualified.

This Xuan Test Stone could not only test out Xuan Force, but also age! What made Yun Che sigh with emotion was that a seventeen year old at the fourth level of the Xuan Entry Realm was definitely the best amongst the disciples in the Crescent Moon Xuanfu, while in this Cangfeng Xuanfu, it actually did not even reach the minimum threshold. The Imperial City was an Imperial City after all.

“Failed, stand down.” The old man looked at the results of the Xuan stone measurement and said with a cold, hard demeanor.

The youngster named Han Chi’s demeanor became alarmed as he bowed deeply to the old man, almost pleading, “Senior, junior is only one level short as well, and is only millimeters away from a breakthrough, so maybe he’ll be able to complete his breakthrough tomorrow. Please ask senior to be a little more accommodating and let senior pass. Elder Junior will definitely be grateful, and he will definitely …… be able to do so in the future.”

“No way!” The old man waved his hand violently, he had seen such a situation too many times, and there was not a single change in his demeanor, “What kind of place do you think the Cang Feng Xuan Fu is? What is there to be accommodated! Back off immediately.”

“Senior, please.” Han Chi had been so anxious that he was almost about to shed tears, and begged bitterly, “Senior, the late generation dreams of being able to enter the Cang Feng Xuan Fu, and this arrival is even more so as it carries the expectations of everyone in our family, please, as long as I can be allowed to pass, I’ll agree to any conditions.”

“Fail to meet the standard, you just kneel down and die on the ground, no one will be accommodated! Leave, you’re only seventeen this year, and you’ll have one last chance next year, make good use of your last chance. If you keep pestering me, I’ll deprive you of your last qualification to keep your life in the Cangfeng Xuanfu.”

The old man’s last words caused Han Chi’s face to turn white all of a sudden, no longer daring to say another word as he left with a grim expression.

The first tester came with such a show, the tutors in the mansion were used to it, while many of the young Xuan Masters waiting for the test began to sweat profusely.

“Next, Liu Changqing.”

“Age sixteen, Entry Xuan Realm Level 2, failed! Next ……”

“Age eighteen, Entry Xuan Realm Level 5, failed! Next ……”

“Age fifteen, Entry Xuan Realm Level 2 …… qualified! Well, at a young age, very good. You passed the first level test, next.”

The test continued on, on average, it took three or four people before one passed the test, the passing rate was so low that Yun Che cocked his head. With the first loser’s previous lesson, the young Xuanists who didn’t pass the test all left with their heads hanging down, and none of them dared to beg anymore. The young Xuan practitioners who passed were of course overjoyed, and some of them even covered their faces and cried out in excitement.

These young Xuan practitioners came from all over the country, I don’t know how many of them came with the biggest dream of their lives, and I don’t know how many of them were carrying the expectations of their entire family. With the identity of a Cangfeng Xuanfu disciple, no matter where they went, it was a dazzling and incomparable halo.

“Age seventeen, Entry Xuan Realm level nine, qualified!”

Looking at the numbers that appeared on the Xuan Test Stone, a gasp of surprise was emitted from the crowd, and a stream of admiring and envious gazes focused on the teenage man in front of the Xuan Test Stone. Even the old man in charge of the test nodded, a hint of a smile on his face, “Very good. Before you leave the mansion, you have a high hope of entering the Central Mansion, work hard.”

Hearing the words “Central Mansion”, almost all of the young XuanShi’s faces revealed an incomparable look of longing and desire. If one could enter the Central Mansion, not to mention other places, even in this Cangfeng Imperial City, one would have a rather high status, something that was enough to honor one’s family.

That young man moved his hand away from the Xuan test stone, a faint smile of confidence and pride hung on his face as he arrogantly looked at the young Xuan practitioners who had already passed the test and those who were waiting for the test, saying, “My name is Ao Yan, and I would like to ask for more guidance from all of you fellow disciples in the future. But this group’s first place, I have already taken it.”

This Ao Yan’s demeanor was arrogant, but at the age of seventeen, at the ninth level of the Xuan Realm, he completely had the capital to be proud. Some comments about him also rose up from below, and people realized that this Ao Yan came from the Western Giant Desert City, and his family was the deserved number one hegemon in the Giant Desert City, not weaker than any of the local clans.

“Next, Yun Che.” The old man’s voice came again.

“Brother-in-law, it’s your turn!” Hearing Yun Che’s name, Xia Yuanba instantly became excited.

Yun Che stood in front of the Xuan Test Stone, stretched out his right palm, pressed it onto the Xuan Test Stone, and slightly moved his Xuan Force.

The Xuan Test Stone instantly revealed light.

“Sixteen years old, Entry Xuan Realm Level 10, qualified.”

When the old man shouted out this result, a large chorus of shocked cries immediately resounded from the surroundings, and a gaze that was several times more marveled than that of the party’s immediately focused on Yun Che’s body. Just now, Ao Yan’s result had already caused the crowd to marvel and envy, and this teenager who came right after him, his Xuan Power was even one level higher than Ao Yan’s, and their gap was completely more than just that, his age, was actually one year younger than Ao Yan. If Yun Che also reached the age of seventeen, surpassing this Ao Yan would never be as simple as one level.

The face of Ao Yan, who had stood beside him in triumph, instantly stiffened there, both eyes staring tightly at the results on the Xuanxuan measuring stone, simply unable to believe his own eyes, and with that, his face slowly heated up……. Just a moment ago, he had also proudly declared that the first place of this group was not his, and right after that, a person even younger than him had directly surpassed him, and his party’s words were like a living slap in the face.

“Hehe, only sixteen years old, and already only half a step away from the True Xuan Realm, very good!” The old man slowly nodded his head, a deeply approving smile appearing on his face, “You are the most outstanding of the testers I received today, if you maintain your talent, perhaps in less than two years’ time, you will be able to enter the Central Mansion, work hard.”

Yun Che nodded his head and calmly stood into the line of those who passed, while countless gazes still continued to follow him, and whispers were constantly resounding around him.

“Who is this person? It must be the son of some big family again, right?”

“There’s no need to ask! People from big clans won’t enter the Xuanfu, other than those big clans, the only ones who can cultivate this kind of super genius are those big clans with rich heritage and resources……. This tutor saying that he might enter the Central Mansion within two years is really enviable and makes people want to die of envy.”

“This big brother, you are really marvelous, only sixteen years old and already almost at the True Xuan Realm! I don’t …… know what you call yourself, big brother?”

Just as Yun Che stood over, the fifteen year old boy who was the first to pass the test came over and looked at him with a face full of admiration. When the old man called out Yun Che’s name just now, he didn’t hear it clearly.

Yun Che remembered that this fifteen year old teenager was called Yun Xiaofan, sharing the same surname as him, and with a pure gaze, he looked very innocent. He smiled and said, ”My name is Yun Che. I remember that you are called Yun Xiaofan, right?”

“Right right!” Seeing that Yun Che had actually memorized his name, Yun Xiaofan had an excited face and said in surprise, “Ah? Your surname is also Yun? Such a coincidence!”

“Fate.” Yun Che said smilingly, having a good feeling about this Yun Xiaofan.

“Hehehe,” having thought that someone with such a scary score would be a very arrogant and cold person, not having thought about being so peaceful, Yun Xiaofan’s heart was also warm, his nervousness subsided quite a bit, but the admiration in his gaze instead increased by a few points, “Big Brother Yun, where are you from? You’re so powerful, you must be the son of a very large family, right?”

Yun Che smiled and shook his head, “I’m not the son of a great family, I’m just a mortal. By the way, I’m from Liuyun City?”

“Eh, Liuyun City?” Yun Xiaofan was stunned and thought hard for a while before revealing an embarrassed expression, “I’m young and have seen very little, it seems like I haven’t even heard of this city’s name yet.”

“Hmph! It’s just a small city located in the east that’s not much bigger than a town. There are not many people who know about it, and even more people who don’t know about it.”

A conspiratorial voice came from the side, Ao Yan squinted at Yun Che, just now, hearing Yun Che talk about how he wasn’t a son of a family, but rather a “mere mortal”, and also came from the smallest city in the Cangfeng Empire, his heart instantly became contemptuous, and he coldly grunted and said, “Yun Che, don’t think that because your Xuan Power level is higher than mine, you’re something special. Xuan power doesn’t mean battle power, Xuan masters with powerful Xuan techniques are the ones who deserve to be called true Xuan masters, but unfortunately, Xuan masters like you who come from a small place can’t possibly understand that. Although your Xuan power is one level higher than me, but let alone one level, even if it’s three levels higher, it’s still impossible to be my opponent.”
