In the corner, Aotian slowly exhaled a breath of white mist and murmured, "Has it finally begun?"
The Aotian Family Test Tournament is divided into two segments. The first segment is a cultivation test for the younger generation of the Aojia family, while the second segment tests the strength of those disciples who are at or below the eighth level of postnatal cultivation.
"Aowen!"
An elder on the Training Platform shouted loudly, his voice echoing throughout the training ground.
As soon as he finished speaking, a frail figure, resembling a girl, stumbled from a corner onto the Training Platform.
The many martial artists below closely watched the scene on stage.
The frail figure gently placed their right hand on the stone tablet. Instantly, four rings of light appeared on the tablet, their glow shimmering across the entire Training Platform.
The elder glanced at the rings of light on the tablet and calmly announced the result: "Aowen, postnatal fourth level!"
The frail figure sighed in apparent dissatisfaction and then walked off the stage with a dejected expression.
"Aolin..."
Next, the elder continuously called out the names of the Arrogant Clan Youth. Each one who stepped onto the stage either left with a face full of disappointment or one filled with excitement. The martial artists in the crowd occasionally erupted in cheers or jeers.
"Aofeng!" The elder on stage shouted again. Immediately, Aofeng, standing among the crowd, pushed off from the ground and gracefully flipped onto the stage, earning a round of applause from below.
On the viewing platform, Zheng Family Head Zheng Kun praised Ao Gong, saying:
"Is this your esteemed son? Truly a remarkable talent!"
Upon hearing this, Ao Gong's eyes were filled with pride, but he still clasped his hands in a "humble" manner and replied:
"Where, where! This is just my third son, who spends all his time playing. My eldest daughter is the real talent; she is already an outer disciple of Azure Cloud Sect."
Upon mentioning Azure Cloud Sect, the expressions of the three people around changed slightly, clearly indicating that the name held significant weight.
Then, Zheng Kun and Ning Wen seemed to recall something, their seriousness easing slightly as they simply congratulated Ao Gong. Only Aotian's heavy expression showed no sign of lightening.
At that moment, the elder on the Training Platform announced again:
"Aofeng, Acquired Seventh Layer!"
Immediately, a wave of astonishment erupted around them. It seemed unexpected that Aofeng had reached the Acquired Seventh Layer at such a young age.
Hearing the continuous praises from those around him, Aofeng smirked and provocatively glanced at Aotian not far away.
Aotian met Aofeng's gaze lightly before turning back to chat and laugh with Aoyan, seemingly ignoring Aofeng on the platform.
Instantly, Aofeng's expression darkened, his eyes filled with menace:
"You worthless fool, I'll make you lie in bed for a year and a half later!"
"Aotian!"
The elder on the stage let out a loud shout.
“Aotian? Isn't he the son of the Aojia Family Head?”
“Yes, yes! I've heard for a long time that the Aojia Family Head's son is a once-in-a-generation genius. I traveled all the way from the Sky Cloud Mountain Range just to admire this little genius's talent!”
“Hmph, brother, you're out of touch! The Aojia Family Head's son was indeed a genius, but it seems something happened three years ago that turned this genius into a complete waste.”
“Really? I didn't know that…”
Aotian was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting to be the topic of conversation so soon. Ignoring the discussions around him, he slowly walked towards the Training Platform.
“Is that Aotian? He doesn't seem special at all!”
“Exactly, with such delicate skin, if he went to the Sky Cloud Mountain Range, he would probably be swallowed by the 'beasts' there!”
“Hey, stop talking. Just watch and you'll find out…”
In the stands, Zheng Kun looked at Aotian as he walked up to the Training Platform and said softly, “Aotian? Isn't he the son of the Aotian Family Head? Is this your son?” His tone concealed a hint of barely perceptible disdain.
“I've heard that Aotian is an unparalleled genius from the Aojia family. Today, I want to see for myself,” Ning Wen said, curiosity gleaming in his eyes.
“Heh heh, Ning Family Head, that's just a rumor and shouldn't be taken seriously! I just hope he hasn't even broken through to the fifth level yet; our Aojia family can't afford to lose face over this!” Before Aotian could speak, Ao Gong had already said indifferently.
Aotian's face turned pale as he snorted in anger.
"Ao Gong! What do you mean by that?!"
Ao Gong maintained a calm expression like a still pond, speaking in a sarcastic tone:
"Aotian is our Aojia's Young Master. If his cultivation is too weak, wouldn't that be a source of gossip? Our Aojia is a prominent family in Ning City. If the Young Master of this family can't even break through to the fifth level of the acquired stage, wouldn't that make people think Aojia is incompetent?"
"You..." Aotian glared at Ao Gong, his robes billowing as if stirred by an unseen wind, clearly ready to confront Ao Gong.
Ao Gong's expression shifted slightly, and then his gaze locked onto Aotian like a venomous snake, his hands filled with Mystical Energy swirling unpredictably.
The atmosphere in the stands suddenly became tense.
Meanwhile, Zheng Kun and Ning Wen watched the two brothers of Aojia with amusement, clearly having no intention of intervening in the escalating situation.
Anger surged within Aotian, but he had to suppress it. If he erupted now, news would surely spread the next day about the Aojia family head and the Aojia Second Master fighting during the Aotian Family Test Tournament, turning Aojia into a laughingstock.
Thinking this, the Mystical Energy that had been building up around Aotian dissipated quietly as he coldly remarked to Ao Gong:
"Take care of yourself!"
A fleeting smirk appeared in Ao Gong's eyes before he turned his attention back to the scene on the Dueling Platform.
Seeing that the two brothers of Aotian did not end up fighting, Zheng Kun and Ning Wen felt a bit disappointed. However, they understood that for Aotian to become the head of Aojia, he must possess extraordinary qualities. It would be laughable to think that a mere verbal dispute between brothers could topple Aojia. After a moment of disappointment, they refocused their attention on Aotian on the Dueling Platform.
The elder on stage looked at the young man approaching him step by step with a mix of regret and helplessness. Had the once-promising genius truly fallen from grace?
Standing before the stone tablet, Aotian quietly gazed at the towering monument, an unusual light flickering in his eyes.
The stone tablet was smooth and pure white, surrounded by mysterious runes that created an enchanting aura.
This was the Mystic Testing Stone, specifically designed to assess the cultivation level of martial artists in the Dragon God World. The Mystic Testing Stone is categorized into low-level, mid-level, high-level, and top-level stones. For example, the Aojia Mystic Testing Stone is a low-level stone capable of testing the cultivation realm of martial artists below the Three Spirits Realm.
"Place your hand on the stone tablet, and the Mystic Testing Stone will be able to determine your cultivation level," the elder said to Aotian.
Taking a deep breath, Aotian gently placed his right palm on the stone tablet amidst countless tense, expectant, and mocking gazes.
As soon as Aotian made contact with the stone tablet, he felt a chill emanating from it.
At that moment, as Aotian sensed the icy aura, a profound power surged forth from the mysterious runes on the stone tablet, flooding into Aotian's body like a tidal wave.
The power quickly circulated through Aotian's meridians before reaching his Dantian.
Inside the Dantian, the Golden Energy seemed to sense an "intruder" invading its territory. Just as it was about to devour this foreign force, the mysterious power transformed into something ethereal and penetrated through the Golden Energy, subsequently flowing out of Aotian's body like retreating sea water.
As everyone watched intently, the Mystic Testing Stone slowly began to rise, emitting four rings of light...
