Red Sun Rising and Azure Bird emerged from the forest. At this moment, looking at the land of Myriad Spirit Sect Outer Sect, the eerie atmosphere of yesterday had vanished.
A group of young boys was eagerly waiting for the upcoming test. As five hundred individuals were tested, the remaining thousands grew increasingly anxious, for none of those ahead possessed the rumored Single Attribute Spiritual Root. Moreover, only one person had even shown a dual-attribute Spiritual Root.
Buzz! Buzz!
A boy dressed in a blue brocade robe pressed one hand against a mirror-like surface that rippled like water. With two resonant and ancient sounds echoing, the stone pillar before him lit up with two colors: a yellow-gray earth column and a crystal-clear rain column.
“Wang Yu, Qi Refinement Stage Level Three, Earth and Rain dual-attribute pseudo-complementary Spiritual Root, rated as excellent.”
Upon hearing the Spirit Testing Officer’s evaluation, the boy Wang Yu was instantly overjoyed, as none of the hundreds before him had received an excellent rating.
“Li Gousheng, Qi Refinement Stage Level Five, Gold, Wood, Water, and Wind four-attribute Mixed Spiritual Root, rated as poor.”
“Zhang Jiayuan, Qi Refinement Stage Level Three, Gold, Fire, and Earth three-attribute Mixed Spiritual Root, rated as below average.”
“Qiu Shijun, Qi Refinement Stage Level Four, Wood, Earth, and Lightning three-attribute Mixed Spiritual Root, rated as below average.”
…
“It seems that geniuses are not in abundance; in the end, I am the only one of high integrity! My Spiritual Root is of chaotic attribute. If they knew, wouldn’t they be scared to death? However, there are no chaotic attributes among the ten types of Spiritual Roots before me; I hope it won’t fail to light up during my test!” Zhao Yang felt both proud and anxious as he pondered.
“Long Xiao Wu!” When the Spirit Testing Officer called this name, a slightly chubby boy with a flamboyant walk passed by Zhao Yang. He exuded a faint milky scent. Zhao Yang couldn’t help but glance up in disdain, only to realize that this was the same boy who had previously called him a masochist—the Apple-Faced Boy.
Smack!
“Ouch! That hurt! Which bastard hit me?” The Apple-Faced Boy yelled while clutching his backside, his expression fierce like a little beast as he scanned for whoever had struck him. He rubbed his rear end and cursed his bad luck.
“Being handsome is such a hassle; since childhood, I’ve either had my face pinched or my butt smacked.” The Apple-Faced Boy thought narcissistically.
A slightly dazed boy standing behind Zhao Yang widened his mouth and reached out to touch the empty space in front of him, then slapped his own face twice. "Oh no, I'm hallucinating again."
At that moment, Zhao Yang had already moved to the back of the crowd, a wicked smile on his lips as he muttered to himself, "So that's Long Xiao Wu. What a pity about that surname. They say I'm a masochist; not hitting you just isn't my style. But... this Fatty is something else. To take a slap weighing ten thousand pounds without even flinching? He's really tough; perhaps he's the real masochist here."
"Is that short guy an idiot? I've called you twice already, hurry up and come for the test!" The Spirit Testing Officer on stage shouted impatiently at the chubby Long Xiao Wu with a desperate tone.
"Hey~ I'm coming, I'm coming!" Long Xiao Wu jogged over. His short stature, combined with his bouncing movements, made him look like a little wild boar charging forward.
Long Xiao Wu ignored all the mocking remarks directed at him and swayed his way onto the stage. He approached the Spirit Testing Officer and placed his chubby palm on the shimmering surface of the water-like mirror. Immediately, a sound reminiscent of an ancient dragon's roar reverberated through everyone's eardrums!
Even Fire Wuyan, the Grand Elder of the Outer Sect seated on the Purple Gold Fire Vine Chair at the summit, was startled. He suddenly opened his eyes wide, a flash of astonishment crossing his gaze as he thought excitedly, "Could it be that our Myriad Spirit Sect has stumbled upon an extraordinary genius?"
"Big Brother, what is that sound? Could it be the emergence of Five Element Spiritual Roots?" asked the Third Elder, Ji Wuyou, dressed in a yellow robe.
"Five Element Spiritual Roots are merely legends; after all, none of us have ever seen one!" The taciturn White-Haired Elder, Hong Wushou, sighed.
"The reason we call this place the Five Elements Continent is because almost all cultivators possess Spiritual Roots of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, or Earth. Occasionally, those with Single Attribute Spiritual Roots like Wind, Rain, Thunder, Lightning, or Ice appear; they are fiercely contested by various sects for cultivation as successors. After all, Five Element Spiritual Roots are legendary; even if they exist, we wouldn't be able to nurture them," Fire Wuyan raised his right hand to signal them to be quiet and watched intently at what was happening below.
After that earth-shattering dragon's roar, ten pillars began to shake violently before gradually calming down again—none of them lit up.
"Hmm? What's going on? Why didn't any of them light up?" Confusion spread across everyone's faces.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Testing Officer's expression shifted from shock to indifference and then to disdain.
"I knew you were useless!" The Spirit Testing Officer kicked Long Xiao Wu off the platform. "You worthless waste relying on pills! You're just wasting my time!"
"Long Xiao Wu, Qi Refinement Stage Level Three, no Spiritual Root detected. Evaluation level: Waste!"
"What? Is it really piled up with pills?" a young man exclaimed in surprise.
"To use just pills to elevate a waste without a Spiritual Root to the third layer of Qi Refinement Stage... How wealthy must his family be!" another young man added, equally astonished.
"Perhaps his family is in the medicinal herb business, running a spirit medicine shop and consuming spirit pills like food. If I were born into his family, I would have probably reached Core Formation by now!" yet another young man said indignantly.
"Come on, it's easy to reach Foundation Establishment, but Core Formation can't be forced up just by relying on spirit pills. I suspect this kid might have used some Evil Technique, like Yin-Yang Replenishment or something. Anyway, his family is rich; finding girls wouldn't be a problem for him. Look at how he’s all puffed up; he could get blown over by the wind after just a few steps. I wonder if that guy down there can even lift his head!"
"I'll raise your grandpa! I'm still a virgin! My family has money; what's wrong with eating a few ginseng roots?" Long Xiao Wu, with an apple-shaped face, retorted while waving his chubby fist.
"Waste is waste. Just because you have money at home doesn’t mean you can bully us. Brothers, look at that big Gold Chain around his neck. Ever since he entered the Sect yesterday, he's been flaunting it. Let's beat him up!" The speaker, clearly envious of the rich, threw a punch at Long Xiao Wu's face. Despite Long Xiao Wu's short and stout stature, he was quite agile and dodged easily, retreating to the side.
However, before Long Xiao Wu could stabilize himself, a youth kicked him in the rear. In pain, Long Xiao Wu jumped forward while clutching his backside. Little did he know how many hot-blooded envious youths he had provoked; suddenly, a group surrounded him and began to punch and kick him.
"Who did I provoke? Is it my fault that my family is rich? Ahhh~"
His piercing screams echoed through the mountains. The three elders of the Summit exchanged glances. The Grand Elder sighed and said, "I told you so. The Five Element Spiritual Roots are from the legendary Five Elements Continent's first immortal, the Five Elements Ancestor. It couldn't possibly appear so easily. Sigh, it must be that the Attribute Spirit Pillar has deteriorated over time and malfunctioned." With that, he returned to his Purple Gold Fire Vine Chair and closed his eyes, saying no more.
