Chapter 23: Talent of an Errand Boy
“Do you have anything on you?” Dharma Protector Wang asked, his gaze fixed on Su Yi as he raised an eyebrow.
“No, I have nothing on me.” Su Yi patted his clothes, confirming he had brought nothing with him.
“This situation is a bit unusual. After returning to Sacred Mountain, I’ll investigate it thoroughly.” Dharma Protector Wang suspected that Su Yi might possess some hidden treasure that caused the Yuan Testing Stone to shatter.
But after further thought, he doubted that a young master from such a small, remote family could possess a treasure of such value. There might not even be a single spatial bag in his entire family.
“Dharma Protector, then what about my test results? Am I qualified to enter Sacred Mountain?” Su Yi asked, his voice calm yet filled with hope.
Hearing Su Yi’s question, Su Jing Ting, Liu Zong Yuan, and the surrounding youths all turned their attention to Wang Quan De, eagerly awaiting his response.
“What a pity, truly a pity.” Dharma Protector Wang sighed as he faced Su Yi. “According to the Yuan Testing Stone, you possess the wind attribute, which is extremely rare.”
“Wind attribute? A special attribute!” Su Jing Ting, Liu Zong Yuan, and the others exchanged astonished glances.
Beyond the five basic elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—there were two rare attributes in the world: lightning and wind. It was rumored that martial artists with these special attributes were bound to grow extraordinarily powerful.
However, the appearance of one of these rare Yuan Qi attributes was exceedingly rare.
“Though you have the wind attribute Yuan Qi, at the same time, you also possess the earth, water, and fire attributes. These four attributes are not only chaotic, lacking a primary attribute, but there are even two attributes that restrict each other among the remaining three.”
Dharma Protector Wang looked at Su Yi, feeling pity, and said, “At your age, having already entered the Yuan Soul Realm, even at Sacred Mountain, this is not a common occurrence. But it is such a pity that your Yuan Qi attributes are chaotic and restrict each other. Your future cultivation will not progress much.”
Upon hearing these words, Su Jing Ting and the upper ranks of the Su Family all felt pity. The higher their hopes, the greater their disappointment. Liao Zong Yuan’s eyes also showed considerable disappointment.
“Trash will always be trash!” Su Wei, who was not far away, was initially slightly nervous, but upon hearing Dharma Protector Wang’s words, his nervousness turned into mockery. So what if he lost yesterday? He has Commander Grade Talent, destined for a bright future. How could that piece of trash compare to him?
“He really is in the Yuan Soul Realm!” Many people present were shocked. Su Yi had actually entered the Yuan Soul Realm.
Especially, He San, Mo Bu Fan, and Song Wu Qiu. Waves of shock surged in their hearts. They had never imagined that the jinx had already entered the Yuan Soul Realm.
“Then can you tell me directly, am I able to enter Sacred Mountain?” Su Yi’s heart sank. With his talent, he thought he was trash. Nonetheless, he was already in the Yuan Soul Realm and believed the “Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique” shouldn’t have led to this result.
“Your talent is still insufficient to enter Sacred Mountain. If you truly want to enter, you will barely be able to work as an errand boy,” Dharma Protector Wang said. This kind of talent doesn’t promise much future, and if he were to enter Sacred Mountain, he would likely end up as nothing more than an errand boy.
“I thought he would be something extraordinary. In the end, he only has the talent of an errand boy.”
“The Su Family only has Su Wei who is strong. Su Yi is still just a rich playboy!”
Around them, murmurs of mockery and ridicule filled the air.
“Dharma Protector, the Yuan Testing Stone malfunctioned. Could I retake the test?” Su Yi inhaled deeply and asked. The Yuan Testing Stone did indeed have an anomaly. Perhaps the results were affected by the interference of the mysterious sphere of light.
Sacred Mountain is a paradise for cultivators, and Su Yi didn’t want to miss such a chance.
“The Yuan Testing Stone did have some problems, but the test results remain as they were. There would be no mistake. Your talent is definitely insufficient to enter Sacred Mountain,” Dharma Protector Wang said, slightly surprised. This was the first time he had encountered someone requesting a retest. All the youths who took the test in front of Sacred Mountain’s people were cautious and nervous. None of them were like this.
Furthermore, though the Yuan Testing Stone may not be a highly valuable treasure, it certainly wasn’t something that could be obtained easily.
This time, Dharma Protector Wang had only brought one with him to the city. Even if he wanted a retest, it would not be possible.
“No, this is unfair. It’s obvious that the Yuan Testing Stone malfunctioned. Why do you say that I lack talent?” Su Yi shook his head slightly, looked at Wang Quan De, and said.
“I’ve said there would be no problems with the test results, and there are no problems. You only have the talent of an errand boy. You will not have much of a future!” Wang Quan De stared at Su Yi, his gaze showing growing displeasure. He was a Dharma Protector of Sacred Mountain. How could he allow a youth to spout nonsense and question his words?
“Su Yi, back off. Do not spout nonsense!”
Seeing that Dharma Protector Wang was already unhappy, Su Jing Ting scolded Su Yi. In front of an expert from Sacred Mountain, he would not allow rebuttals.
“Hooo.”
Su Yi composed himself and inhaled.
Since Sacred Mountain’s Dharma Protector had already said so, why bother forcing the issue?
Even though Su Yi didn’t want to miss out on cultivating at Sacred Mountain, sucking up to someone was not his nature.
“Not being able to go to Sacred Mountain, so be it. There are many places I could go in this world, not only Sacred Mountain.”
Su Yi faced Wang Quan De. His thin figure wasn’t as upright as a spear, but his eyes held determination. He said, “But Dharma Protector Wang, nothing is final. Anything is possible in this world. There is no such thing as the talent of an errand boy. Perhaps one day, I’ll show Dharma Protector Wang what I can do!”
On the platform, a lady around 16-17 years old smiled. Her soft lips were the color of cherries, and her eyebrows were delicately shaped like a fine stroke in a beautiful painting. Her eyes couldn’t help but glance at Su Yi, as if she were curious.
Upon hearing Su Yi’s words, Su Jing Ting and Liu Zong Yuan’s faces changed. This was a clear challenge to Dharma Protector Wang.
““Hehe.” Hearing Su Yi’s words, Wang Quan De was slightly stunned. His face became more serious. He smiled and looked at Su Yi, saying, “Average talent and such arrogance. I, Wang Quan De, say this today: with your trash talent, if you ever enter the Yuan Spirit Realm, I, Wang Quan De, will take back my words in front of everyone.”
“Su Yi, you’re far too audacious. Once we go back, you’ll be severely punished. Now, hurry up, kowtow and apologize to Dharma Protector Wang!”
Su Jing Ting glared at Su Yi and scolded him angrily. His face was pale. This Sacred Mountain Dharma Protector had already become angry.
“Dharma Protector Wang, this child doesn’t know better. Please don’t take offense,” Liu Zong Yuan immediately apologized to Wang Quan De.
“Dharma Protector Wang, this little bastard has lacked proper education since a young age. When we return, I’ll punish him severely!” Su Jing Ting apologized, his forehead already beaded with cold sweat.
“No worries, no worries,” Wang Quan De tolerated his anger. Arguing with a young boy would only damage his reputation and image.
Su Yi sneered. From what he could tell, Sacred Mountain wasn’t as great as he had imagined.
“The son-in-law greets father-in-law.”
Afterward, Su Yi looked at Liu Zong Yuan and bowed.
