“Wei Zixuan, this good-for-nothing, Wei family has truly wasted so many resources on him!” Lady Su Yin said with a tone of disappointment and frustration. “All he knows is to provoke others for no reason. Once Ye Wushuang gets angry, he doesn’t even dare to make a peep. What a waste!”
“Madam…”
Wei Zheming tried to comfort her, saying, “This Ye Wushuang is clearly not the same as before. I suspect that Wei Zixuan, who is at the eighth level of the Physical Refining stage, would not be a match for him now.”
“Humph!”
Lady Su Yin, with a cold face, glanced at Wei Zheming and said, “How did I ever take a liking to you, Wei Zheming!”
“This time, if it weren’t for my father, if your son got killed, you wouldn’t even dare to make a peep either.”
“Yes, yes, yes, Madam, please calm down, calm down…”
At this moment, within the assessment area, Baiyi’s voice rang out again.
“The hour has passed.”
Baiyi stood in front of the twenty-eight individuals and said with a faint smile, “Now, those whose names are called will step forward to the Jiu Tian Yuan Yang Mirror and begin to demonstrate the spiritual technique they have chosen. The Jiu Tian Yuan Yang Mirror will automatically display the rating.”
“Those who achieve the genius rating will have passed all three stages and become disciples of our Qingyun Academy.”
Baiyi glanced at the twenty-eight people and continued, “Now, the third stage officially begins.”
At this moment, the twenty-eight individuals stood on either side of the Jiu Tian Yuan Yang Mirror.
“Ye Wushuang, I hope you don’t mess up in the third stage,” Qin Hao sneered as he passed by Ye Wushuang.
“Qin, the world-renowned genius!” Ye Wushuang replied with a smile, “I hope you can still receive the evaluation of a world-renowned genius.”
“You…” Qin Hao humphed and left with a flick of his sleeve.
The twenty-eight individuals now stood in a row.
Baiyi, holding a dossier, announced, “The first one, Lu Yuan!”
The young man whose name was called stepped forward, walking up to the Jiu Tian Yuan Yang Mirror and took a deep breath.
“I have chosen the Hunyuan Finger Technique!”
As Lu Yuan spoke, he gathered his inner energy. With a step forward, he clenched his palm and suddenly thrust out his middle finger, aiming straight at the Jiu Tian Yuan Yang Mirror.
Boom!!!
A deep, explosive sound rang out at that moment.
The next moment, everyone’s faces were filled with astonishment.
This deep, booming sound was not caused by the explosive power of Lu Yuan’s Hunyuan Finger Technique, but rather… Lu Yuan’s finger had exploded.
“Ah…”
A scream of pain echoed as Lu Yuan immediately clutched his finger, which was dripping blood.
Baiyi calmly said at this moment, “A spiritual technique is based on spiritual energy. If one is not yet proficient in the moves and recklessly tries to unleash powerful energy, it will result in self-harm.”
Baiyi glanced at two Qingyun Academy disciples beside him and said, “Take him down and treat him.”
After speaking, Baiyi looked at the remaining twenty-seven people and said, “This is just an assessment. If you can’t pass, there’s no need to injure yourselves. Demonstrate only what you have grasped. Do not force it.”
It was clear that Lu Yuan had no chance now.
“The next one, Li Xin!”
The young man named Li Xin stepped forward and said, “I have chosen the Four Seasons Spiritual Sword Technique!”
With that, Li Xin took out a long sword and began to demonstrate in front of the Jiu Tian Yuan Yang Mirror.
The Four Seasons Spiritual Sword Technique consists of five moves. Li Xin had only watched three times and did not know the mental methods or incantations. At this moment, he was relying solely on his memory and the previous demonstrations to perform.
The first move was like spring rain, gentle and continuous…
The second move was like summer thunder, fierce and startling…
However, as Li Xin continued his demonstration, the surroundings gradually filled with distinctly mocking laughter. This laughter seemed to have a magical quality, spreading more and more widely.
Until finally, many people could not help themselves and began to laugh out loud…
