Buzz!
With a gentle press of his palm, the entire Practice Field instantly calmed down, and everything floating fell to the ground.
"Is this the Late Stage of Awakening Vein Realm? What a powerful feeling."
From the peak of the Sixth Level of Awakening Vein Realm to the early Seventh Level, it seemed only a small advancement, but Luo Cheng felt an earth-shaking change in his internal Essence Energy!
Whether in quality or quantity, it had bee inparably more powerful!
Bang!
Utilizing Essence Energy, Luo Cheng threw a punch, the air suddenly twisted violently, creating layers of clear cracks like crystal, fast as lightning, heavy as a mountain!
"So strong! This punch is enough to instantly kill Lu Shaojing! Even experts of the Eighth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm would struggle to resist."
Luo Cheng’s eyes sparkled with confidence, revealing a self-assured smile.
Now the power of his casual punch could pare to his previous peak bat strength, at least several times stronger!
Even though he hadn’t reached the Peak of Ninth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm, he shouldn’t be far off.
It’s a pity that there isn’t a suitable Training Post here in the Practice Field; otherwise, he’d know precisely how much his strength has increased!
"The hour is still early; let’s consolidate further."
Admiring the night scenery of Luoxia Sect, Luo Cheng took out a Meridian Opening Pill gifted by Yin Li, swallowed it, and continued his cultivation.
With his cultivation breaking through to the seventh level of the Awakening Vein Realm, coupled with the assistance of the Meridian Opening Pill, the subsequent training proceeded smoothly.
In just a few hours, Luo Cheng opened up another Xuan Vein, bringing the total number of Xuan Veins within his body to an astonishing fifty-six!
When the Essence Energy ran at full strength, it surged like a mighty mountain flood, powerful and vigorous!
Morning.
A thin mist enveloped the entire Luoxia Sect, its brilliance enhanced by the rosy glow, resembling a fairyland on earth.
Today is the day of the Seven-Colored Spring Test, and after a quiet night, Luoxia Sect gradually bustled with activity, voices filling the air.
Bam! Bam!
Just as Luo Cheng finished his cultivation, there was a knock at the door. Upon opening it, he saw two elegant and tall figures standing outside.
It was Yan Qingshuang and the Ninth Princess, Jin Yuxi.
"Good morning to you both!"
Yan Qingshuang smiled and said, "I’ve e to inform you that the Seven-Colored Spring Test is about to start. On the way here, I ran into Junior Sister Jin."
Luo Cheng looked at Jin Yuxi and asked, "Are you also participating in the Seven-Colored Spring Test?"
Jin Yuxi shook her head slightly, her smile radiant, "For me, it’s still a bit early to enter the Seven-Colored Spring for cultivation. I’m just going to watch and gain some experience, along with cheering you on."
The cultivation needs to reach the Middle Stage of Awakening Vein Realm for effective training in the Seven-Colored Spring.
Jin Yuxi is currently only at the First Layer Realm of Awakening Vein; obviously, she is a bit premature.
"Alright, let me freshen up a bit."
Having been in seclusion for several days, Luo Cheng’s clothes were drenched in sweat as he entered the courtyard and changed into clean outfits.
After securing the courtyard gate, the three descended the mountain.
Upon the main road at the mountain’s base, one by one, disciples of Luoxia Sect gathered, all heading in one direction.
Most of these individuals, like Jin Yuxi, did not plan to participate in the Seven-Colored Spring Test due to a lack of talent or power; they solely intended to observe, gain some experience, or take in the spectacle.
"Hey, isn’t that Xuanyuan Sect disciple Luo Cheng, the last champion of the Three Sects Martial Arts petition! This Seven-Colored Spring Test was temporarily set up for him; I wonder if he’ll pass."
"Haha, Junior Sister Qi, you’re overthinking. Climbing Mimeng Zang Mountain isn’t easy; even prodigies with Advanced Martial Souls struggle to pass. Besides, even if he climbs, he can’t possibly surpass the senior sisters, ranking within the top fifteen."
"That’s true. We have so many talents in the Inner Sect of Luoxia Sect; just the Top Ten Seed Disciples occupy most of the slots. Awakening a Wasted Martial Soul won’t let him break into the top fifteen; he doesn’t even stand a chance for the top fifty. It seems like he is destined to lose the wager with Senior Sister Qi Yue."
"Who told him to be so arrogant and daring, to confront Senior Sister Qi Yue. Losing face is his own doing!"
Luo Cheng stood out among a group of female disciples, immediately attracting much attention.
These disciples of Luoxia Sect whispered among themselves, none confident in Luo Cheng’s capabilities; some even displayed schadenfreude expressions, their tone sharp.
The bet between Luo Cheng and Qi Yue, if Luo Cheng passes the test, Qi Yue would publicly apologize, and as fellow disciples of Luoxia Sect, naturally, they wouldn’t want to see such an oute.
Fortunately, this Seven-Colored Spring Test had unexpectedly fierce petition, making it impossible for Luo Cheng to pass; it’s merely a daydream!
The surrounding discussions made Yan Qingshuang and Jin Yuxi furrow their brows.
But as disciples of Luoxia Sect, the two could not express their anger.
Luo Cheng remained calm, his gaze devoid of sadness or joy.
Whether it’s a daydream or not would soon be revealed; there’s no need for pointless arguments.
Joining the crowd, Luo Cheng and the two others arrived at the southernmost part of the island.
Ahead lay a massive Five-Colored Stone Platform, from which a Five-Colored Rainbow Bridge rose directly into the clouds.
The Rainbow Bridge spanned over ten fathoms wide, seemingly condensed from clouds and mist, dazzling with a grand splendor, like a giant divine rainbow suspended in the sky stretching over a hundred miles, where human silhouettes faintly walked.
"This is Jade Mist Platform, where an array is placed that, once activated, can gather surrounding mist to form a Rainbow Bridge, leading anywhere within the sect," Yan Qingshuang explained.
Luo Cheng nodded, reflecting on the grandness of the world, feeling his own knowledge as insignificant as a drop in the ocean, too small.
The array’s Rainbow Bridge was prepared for the Outer Disciples unable to fly, though Luo Cheng and his panions had no use for it.
The trio rose directly into the air, speeding along the direction the Rainbow Bridge stretched.
Before they went far, a group of people suddenly followed.
Luo Cheng glanced sideways, his heart filled with vigilance.
Leading them was a woman with almond-shaped eyes and a cold, attractive appearance, none other than Qi Yue, one of the Top Ten Seed Disciples of Luoxia Sect’s Inner Sect.
The female disciples by her side were all those Luo Cheng had encountered at the Five-Colored Origin Spring...
Upon recognizing Luo Cheng, their gazes instantly cooled, like icy winds sweeping through snow, bitterly cold.
"Junior Sister Jin, Senior Sister Yan, why are you with him?" Qi Yue questioned.
Yan Qingshuang hesitated, then said, "Senior Sister, I’m taking him to Mimeng Zang Mountain."
"Refrain from associating with this little rogue... refrain from getting involved with him."
Qi Yue intended to label Luo Cheng a little rogue but worried it might evoke memories of the incident at the Five-Colored Origin Spring, quickly rephrasing before glancing at Luo Cheng:
"Since you already know the test’s content, why not give up? Leave our Luoxia Sect."
Luo Cheng calmly replied, "Why should I retreat in fear? I don’t find it particularly difficult."
Qi Yue was stunned and then involuntarily smirked, "Such arrogance! To be honest, I will participate in this test too! Besides me, six of the Top Ten Seed Disciples will also join. Do you think you can still make it into the top fifteen with your abilities? You’re truly delusional!"
"I haven’t really considered the top fifteen..."
Luo Cheng shook his head as Qi Yue began to scoff, then he subtly changed his tone and smiled softly:
"However, I’m planning to strive for the top three."
"Top three!"
"Is he crazy?"
Upon hearing these words, the disciples of Luoxia Sect on the spot widened their eyes, looking at Luo Cheng as if he were a madman.
Doesn’t this imply that he intends to surpass most of Luoxia Sect’s Top Ten Seed Disciples?
