Under the supervisor’s command, the new students and old students quickly took their places on either side.
The number of new students was about a hundred or so, while there were many more old students, at least five to six hundred.
It seed that no one wanted to miss this rare opportunity for the Dark Spirit Root test. After all, not everyone was as lucky as Jin Chen and Chu Miaoyun, able to have Young Master Sikong test them ahead of ti.
Xin Lin and Little Xinzhuo stood at the end of the line, both of them short and not very conspicuous.
Taking advantage of the ti before everyone had arrived, Xin Lin closed her eyes.
In her mind’s eye, a scene slowly erged.
"Xin Lin does not possess the Dark Spirit Root."
Before her, Sikong Ran’s icy words felt like a sharp spike piercing Xin Lin’s heart.
"She’s worthless in all Five ridians, let alone having the Dark Spirit Root — she can’t even condense True Qi. How could she be the first in the Zixiao Palace Exam? She’s nothing but a fraudster!"
Bai You mocked coldly from the side.
"Fraudster! Great fraudster!"
"Kick her out of Qingtian Academy!"
Wave after wave of angry shouting, like surging tides, enveloped Xin Lin.
No Dark Spirit Root?!
How could it be!
Xin Lin’s eyes snapped open, still carrying a trace of shock. Her superpower wouldn’t make mistakes.
The scene in her mind would happen soon.
Could it be that Sikong Ran was secretly seeking revenge, tampering with sothing?
Her palm was wet, and Xin Lin’s eyes flickered.
She must not be expelled from the Qingtian Academy.
At the mont, everyone’s attention was on the Dark Spirit Root test, and no one noticed the abnormality on Xin Lin’s side.
The sound of horse hooves echoed lightly, and several figures dashed like lightning, arriving in an instant.
Long Qingchen led the way, followed by Sikong Ran and Bai You.
"Greetings to the Third Prince, to Young Master Sikong, and Miss Bai. I am Huang Tao, the supervising Martial Arts Academy Governor of Qingtian Academy, representing the Dean to welco you."
Governor Huang was a Martial Artist in his fifties, sturdy and well-built, his eyes sharp and penetrating, exuding keenness.
He was also the supervisor for the Third Prince, Long Qingchen.
The Dean of Qingtian Academy was not often seen, and so old students who had been at the academy for two or three years had never seen the true face of the Dean.
"Governor Huang is too polite."
Sikong Ran clasped his hands in a greeting motion.
His gaze swept over the crowd, ignoring the many admiring and envious looks, seeing no one particularly outstanding.
Sikong Ran shook his head silently, and he also noticed Murong Ziyue, who seed to stand out from the rest.
He wondered if the first place winner of the Zixiao Palace Exam had arrived yet.
"As everyone knows, Young Master Sikong made a remarkable showing at the Eagle Chick Conference this year. Though he is around your age, he is far more outstanding than any of you. Today, the academy has invited him to impart the thods of cultivation to you. Whether you are new students or old students, you must cherish this rare opportunity."
Governor Huang told the crowd and then invited Sikong Ran to co forward.
Sikong Ran spoke with a deep voice.
"The thods of cultivation are nurous and vast, yet the most important is the cultivation of the Dark Spirit Root. Most of you here are Xuanwu Practitioners and Spiritual Practitioners and should know about the Dark Spirit Root hand. The highest level of Dark Spirit Root is nine fingers. The Xuan Root is classified into four grades: Heavenly, Earth, Jade, and Mortal, further divided into different attributes according to their unique characteristics. Mortal-grade signifies no Dark Spirit Root, Jade-grade refers to a Dark Spirit Root one to three fingers wide, three to five fingers is Earth-grade Spirit Root, and anything beyond five fingers is Heavenly-grade Dark Spirit Root."
As he spoke, Sikong Ran summoned a breath of True Qi, and from within his Dantian, two streams of True Qi slowly erged — one gold and one green in color.
