Moo WuZheng was waiting, and he had only one goal. Li Tianyi. ’With potential like that, he’s good enough to join the outer circle.’
After a little over two hours, the Fire Gate students gradually got to their feet. Their expressions varied, but it was clear they had all experienced what made the new Cultivation Technique different.
Li Tianyi was the center of attention. A hero’s origins don’t matter. ’Who cares which Sect he ca from? He has a bright future ahead of him now.’
Li Tianyi walked out, but he didn’t leave imdiately. Instead, he was waiting for Wang ng.
’Logically, he should have been the fastest to finish, unless he was just incredibly dense.’
"Li Tianyi, you rember , don’t you?"
Moo WuZheng appeared before Li Tianyi in a flash, deliberately projecting an air of authority to intimidate him.
Li Tianyi tore his gaze away from Wang ng and glanced at Moo WuZheng. "Who are you?"
Moo WuZheng struck a flamboyant pose and nearly stumbled. ’We just t a few days ago, and he’s already forgotten ???’
"Ahem, I’m Moo WuZheng. I was the one who brought you all here. Any interest in joining the Empress Faction?"
Moo WuZheng smiled. To a newcor, this was an unparalleled honor. Envious glances ca from all around.
"Not interested." Li Tianyi was blunt and decisive. He turned his back on Moo WuZheng to wait for Wang ng, his disinterest palpable.
’What the hell?’ Moo WuZheng was one of the Empress’s Five-Star Monarchs, a man of great renown in the Cultivation Academy. This was the first ti he’d ever been ignored so completely. ’Does this kind of arrogant punk really exist?’
’This is the Cultivation Academy, not so garbage heap like the Four Directions Small Thousand World. Even with his decent talent, he could easily perish without the right protection and guidance.’
’Does this guy have a brain?’
Wang ng had his back to the crowd. Flas that seed almost tangible burned in his eyes as he slowly stood up and walked forward.
"How did it feel?" Li Tianyi asked.
Wang ng looked at Li Tianyi. "Maybe we really ca to the right place."
"I’ve already lost to you twice, but there absolutely won’t be a third ti! Wang ng, prepare for my challenge a year from now!"
Li Tianyi was as full of fighting spirit as ever.
Wang ng smiled faintly. "So eager to rack up another loss, are you? I’ll be waiting."
The two exchanged a knowing smile. Their expressions were relaxed, but their rivalry was very real.
In their pursuit of power, they wouldn’t let themselves be distracted by sothing as trivial as a win-loss record.
"Ahem, Li Tianyi, won’t you reconsider my offer? You’re new here, so you might not understand..."
"Moo... whatever your na is, I’m not interested in you. Until I defeat him, I’m not interested in anyone."
Li Tianyi coolly walked away. Wang ng shrugged helplessly. "Looks like you’re out of luck."
Moo WuZheng stared blankly after them. ’...What the hell kind of place is this Holy Hall? Their standards aren’t even that high, so how do they keep churning out such arrogant fools?’
And on that point, Moo WuZheng was absolutely right.
Holy Hall was a very special place. Its ranking in the Great Yuan Realm may have been poor, but it always managed to produce passionate disciples, at least starting from Wang ng’s generation.
Tang Wei’s results weren’t good either, but still better than Wang ng’s. At the Gold Gate, he made it five zhang past the first golden line. He was the type of person whose full potential couldn’t be unleashed back at Hengshan Hall.
Mingren made it nine zhang past the first red line, showing surprisingly impressive talent. The Five Elents Sect test was a asure of aptitude, not raw power, and his result was even slightly better than Ning Zhiquan’s.
Ma Tian’Er, however, was a complete and utter surprise. She had almost passed the third green line at the Wood Gate.
A rare Wood of the Five Elents attribute.
Regardless of her past or her current level of strength, Ma Tian’Er’s standing changed in an instant. A result like that was enough to attract the attention of a soul ntor, marking her as a key person to watch.
The Cultivation Academy always granted certain privileges to the highly talented. After all, even rules could be bent for special circumstances.
Among all of them, Wang ng had suddenly lost his forr brilliance and fallen from grace. News of their results quickly reached the senior disciples from Holy Hall.
Upon hearing the results, Hex Zui and Mu Ziqing imdiately contacted Ning Zhiquan. They told him to invite Ma Tian’Er and Li Tianyi out, as they wanted to treat them.
Ning Zhiquan was incredibly flattered. He had wanted to invite the others along as well—after all, they ca from the sa Sect and needed to stick together—but Hex Zui and Mu Ziqing refused. They saw no need to waste ti or precious resources on "trash."
In this Cultivation World, a place of both opportunity and danger, the best thing the useless could do was disappear.
Dejected?
Even without a Godhood, such feelings didn’t exist in Wang ng’s mind. For soone who had "crawled" his way into Holy Hall with nothing but a Second-Layer Life Mark Physique, obstacles like this only fueled his drive.
In a way, Wang ng was a natural-born narcissist; no matter the ti or situation, he always felt good about himself.
’The Fire Burning Technique, hmm?’
Back in his Quiet Chamber, Wang ng focused his mind and sank his consciousness into his Sea of Heart.
Previous Cultivation Techniques began in the Sea of Fate, whereas the techniques here all started from the Sea of Heart. This was a major difference.
If anyone could see inside Wang ng’s Sea of Heart, they would likely be scared to death. A vast Heaven and Earth Spirit Locking Array was suppressing a Godhood, and above that array floated Wang ng’s own Lifebound Five Elents Formation.
To practice these Cultivation Techniques, one first had to cultivate a Five Elents Heart Soul by using a Five Elents Skill.
Floating in Wang ng’s Sea of Heart, being nourished by the Godhood, was his Five Elents Heart Soul.
For others, they only needed to cultivate their most prominent Five Elents attribute to unleash their full power. But for Wang ng, he had to cultivate all the components of his Five Elents Heart Soul. Otherwise, it would be like a barrel with one short plank—the amount of water it could hold would be determined by the shortest piece.
