31: Chapter 31 Mo Cheng’s Disdain 31: Chapter 31 Mo Cheng’s Disdain Hearing Elder Xu’s words, the square-faced youth finally breathed a sigh of relief, having thought he would be directly eliminated.
He hadn’t expected that everyone would have three chances to strike.
“Ha!”
With a sudden roar, the youth’s aura erupted to its peak.
Holding nothing back, he threw another fierce punch at the Power Testing Drum.
Thud!
As another dull sound echoed, the next mont, the stones lit up again, but they stopped after reaching the fourth one.
“You have one more chance!” Elder Xu said indifferently.
The youth frowned, his face full of gravity, and after gritting his teeth, he threw another punch.
However, the final result lit up only four stones…
“Next!”
With the youth’s failure, the assessnt quickly continued.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
As the Power Testing Drum was continuously struck, ultimately, all the young participants ended up failing.
“Over a dozen people have gone up, and not a single one passed?!”
Seeing this scene, the powerful figures from various major forces around couldn’t help but start worrying about the talents of their own families.
“I’ll go!”
However, just then, Xue’er, standing next to Mo Wangchen, suddenly spoke up.
As her voice fell, she stepped toward the high platform.
“Is that Mo Xue from the Mo Family?”
“I’ve heard that this Mo Xue was once just a maid; not long ago, she was adopted as a foster daughter by Mo Xiaotian.
She must have decent talent…”
All eyes were fixed on Xue’er as she stepped onto the high platform’s stairs, her footsteps suddenly faltering.
“Uh, could it be that she won’t even pass the first stage?” everyone gasped.
But amidst their murmuring, they heard Xue’er mutter to herself, “This oppressive feeling doesn’t seem that severe.
How co so many people can’t even walk up here…”
Her voice was soft, but so young people standing not far in front of the high platform, who had just failed their assessnts, still heard her.
They felt sowhat indignant, but just as they were about to retort, Xue’er’s steps moved forward again, and then she easily walked up to the Power Testing Drum.
Uh!
Seeing this, those failed talents felt a loss of face, feeling inferior even to a girl.
Thud!
Soon, Xue’er began to strike the Power Testing Drum, and with a sound echoing, the next mont, a row of crystal stones started lighting up.
However, it stopped after the fourth one.
“Still no good…”
Seeing this, the people around also shook their heads.
Initially, seeing how easily Xue’er had passed the first stage, they thought there might be hope.
“Xue’er, you can do it!” Mo Wangchen shouted encouragingly from below the platform, his face smiling as if he felt no pressure at all, not seeming like soone about to undergo an assessnt.
“Hmph, even this waste can participate.
If he passes the assessnt, I’ll take his surna!”
“Hehe, pass the assessnt?
You’re too high on him.
Whether he can even walk up to the high platform is still a question.
Not to ntion, if he passes the first stage, I, Wan Qian, will quit Martial Arts forever, or may lightning strike !”
Wan Qian, a talented individual at the second level of the Vein Condensation Realm, had a minor reputation within Fangtian City.
Yet, even he himself hadn’t passed the first stage.
If Mo Wangchen did, he would truly have nowhere to hide his sha.
Thud!
Upon the high platform, Xue’er let out a coquettish shout and comnced her second strike.
With the sound spreading, the light on the Crystal Stone shone once more, reaching the fifth stone!
“Five stones!”
“She actually made it!”
“The Mo Family truly isn’t ordinary, no wonder Mo Xiaotian would take Mo Xue as his adopted daughter!”
Five glowing Crystal Stones signified Xue’er had passed the assessnt, stirring envy amidst the surrounding crowd as they discussed fervently.
“Congratulations to Family Head Mo!” Atop the platform, Elder Xu laughed heartily and then cupped his hands towards Mo Xiaotian beside him.
“I hope you will continue to look after her at the Academy, Elder Xu!” Mo Xiaotian, equally exhilarated, did not initially believe Xue’er could succeed after seeing so many talents fail, but to his surprise, she indeed had.
While excited, he turned his gaze towards where Mo Wangchen stood, knowing of his talent but doubting if he could really pass without trying.
Thinking thus, a trace of worry appeared in his eyes.
“Did she really pass?!”
In the crowd, Mo Xiaofan furrowed his brows, also not expecting Xue’er’s success.
Now that Xue’er was Mo Xiaotian’s adopted daughter, and with Mo Wangchen added, defeating Mo Xiaotian’s lineage beca even more challenging.
The assessnt continued.
Following Xue’er’s success, a few other talents also passed, though only lighting up five Crystal Stones.
So far, most had taken the test, but fewer than ten had passed.
At this mont, Mo Cheng, who had stood still, began striding toward the platform.
“It’s Mo Cheng’s turn now!”
“Mo Cheng is undoubtedly Fangtian City’s top talent, he should easily pass, but I’m curious as to how many Crystal Stones he can light up!”
“Those who passed earlier stopped at five stones.
I believe with Mo Cheng’s talent, six stones shouldn’t be a problem!”
Amidst the crowd’s speculation, Mo Cheng ascended the platform as if travelling on level ground, seemingly more relaxed than Xue’er had been.
“How impressive, he makes it look so easy!”
“Truly Fangtian City’s top talent!”
The crowd was amazed, and Elder Xu, eyes gleaming, turned to Mo Xiaotian, “Family Head Mo, it appears your Mo Family will have at least two talents entering Yun Chu Academy.
Congratulations.”
Mo Xiaotian remained silent, his brow slightly furrowed, clearly impressed by Mo Cheng’s displayed talent.
“Heh, that’s not necessarily the case…”
However, at that mont, laughter from Master Lin Qing echoed from another direction.
Elder Xu turned in surprise, “Master, why do you say so?
Do you think Mo Cheng won’t pass the second round?”
Lin Qing shook his head with a smile, “There’s no doubt Mo Cheng will pass, but it’s likely not just two from the Mo Family…”
“Not just two?” Elder Xu, puzzled, looked down.
Of the talents yet to be assessed from the Mo Family, only Mo Wangchen was left, right?
Could it be that Master Lin Qing ant Mo Wangchen would also pass?
How could that be?
Each year’s assessnt was conducted by Elder Xu, who was well aware of Mo Wangchen’s notorious inability to cultivate.
How could such a waste pass the assessnt?
“Watch…”
Lin Qing simply smiled, offering no explanation.
Thump!
Just then, as Mo Cheng reached the platform and glanced disdainfully at Mo Wangchen, he clenched his fist and struck the Power Testing Drum heavily.
In the next mont, the crowd saw five Crystal Stones light up consecutively.
