Chapter 86: 86: Unexpected Result

Since today was the last day of registration, the testing ground was now filled with powerful experts who wished to enter the competition by skipping the weaker groups so they could advance to the Elimination Round right away without wasting their strength.

However, there’s this young brat who wished to enter the competition with a low Cultivation. Every Qi Condensation expert looked at the young man in a crimson robe with a scrutinizing gaze from head to toe.

"Who’s this rich brat?!" Muttered an Early Stage Qi Condensation Cultivator.

"Hmph! He must be looking for death by rawdogging the initial entry test."

"Hehe, let him try. I bet 30 Tael of Gold Coins that he would drop dead from Qi Deviation once he imbued his Qi into the Dragon Stone!"

"Fine, I will bet 50 Tael of Gold Coins. His cultivation stage would never exceed Late Stage Gathering Realm let alone Qi Condensation realm!"

Hearing their loud bickering on the side, Ash turned at them. "If I could surpass your estimation, I will collect the prize pool for myself. How about that, huh?!!"

"You little brat!" Shouted one of the Qi Condensation experts. "You dare to challenge me?"

"What? Are you guys afraid?" Ash panned his gaze around. From a rough count, there were at least one hundred Qi Condensation experts at the testing ground.

’1,600 Tael of Gold Coins! Huh! This is going to be interesting.’ Ash muttered inwardly.

"Courting death!"

"You think this tournament is a joke to you?!"

Ash couldn’t care less about their rage and proceeded to the Dragon Crystal amidst the testing ground and it was placed on top of a pedestal. The timid receptionist who escorted him soon explained how to use it briefly.

"This Dragon Crystal will assess the true extent of your Cultivation Stage by imbuing your Qi to it. Though I must warn you to not overdo it because this Dragon Crystal would devour your Qi before you know it."

Curious, Ash appraised the Dragon Crystal to see the true nature of this item. Once he did, Ash frowned deeply.

The outer layer of the Dragon Crystal was actually just a regular glass which has been tampered with various Formation Arrays which would shine differently depending on the user’s Qi input. Meanwhile, the core was actually an Emerald Grade Spirit Stone which could store billions of strands of Qi at once!

Ash smirked from side to side. ’If I imbue this fake crystal with my Primordial Qi, I could easily bypass the Formation Array and reverse the mechanism instead!"

Without further ado, Ash activated the [Two Fingers, Soaring To Heaven] skill. The initial reading that was shown on the Dragon Crystal was Early Stage Qi Gathering. A while later, it spiked to Mid Stage Qi Gathering Realm and climbed steadily toward the Late Stag Qi Gathering Realm.

As he kept infusing his Qi to the Dragon Crystal, it shone brighter than ever before.

Even the Hall Master had to come down to the testing ground to see the commotion.

Since Primordial Qi burned hotter than actual Yang Qi, the glass was gradually showing some breaking signs. So many hair breadth fractures appeared around the crystal and were followed by the crackling sounds.

Although his actual Cultivation Stage was at Late Stage Qi Gathering Realm, by using the hot Primordial Qi, the Formation Array within the crystal couldn’t possibly read his exact power, at all!

Before long, his Cultivation Stage climbed again. From the brightness of the Dragon Crystal, anybody could tell that his Cultivation Stage was at Early Stage Qi Condensation! Soon, the crowd erupted in disbelief and wide agape. They never heard that there’s a powerful young expert in the city!

"Stop!" The Hall Master rebuked from a distance before the Dragon Crystal broke into pieces. "That’s enough. You passed the initial test and are eligible to participate in the Qualifying Round!"

’Tch! I am so close though. Just a few more minutes, I could break the glass and get the stored Qi inside the spirit stone!’

"Hall Master Wu Fei! How is this even fair?!" Someone from the crowd shouted.

"Silence!" The Hall Master rebuked.

Nobody dared to talk back at him after that dead glare.

Little did Ash know, the Hall Master was the second-in-command of the Long River City after the Mayor. If the Mayor was the king of this city, then the Hall Master was the Prime Minister who took care of all of the political and economic affairs.

For the last hundred years, he had maintained his cultivation stage at Early Stage Core Formation Realm. However, due to his position, he finds it harder and harder to pursue the path of Martial Arts. Acknowledging his limitations as a warrior, the Hall Master immersed himself to acquire more and more fortune through his strategic position.

Naturally, the Hall Master acknowledged him as Xiao Hûo, the Grand Disciple of Tang Yigao!

"Er, Young Lord Xiao Hûo. Would you please come with me to my study?"

Looking around, Ash had no intention of mingling with these bunch of ruffians who would slit his throat at any given second.

"Sure. After you, Hall Master." Ash said politely.

However, another young expert whose Cultivation Stage was on par with Ash, stood and smiled contemptuously before Ash.

"With all due respect, Senior Wu Fei, as a fellow participant, acknowledging his Cultivation Stage is not enough. His Martial prowess should be tested as well. We didn’t want to accidentally kill a weakling and reduce our credibility and prestige. Won’t you think so?!"

Soon, the crowd supported his opinion, urging the Hall Master Wu Fei to test Ash Martial prowess.

Ash then turned to the young man whose age was around his age by appearance. He couldn’t tell for sure since Cultivator who was above Body Transformation Realm could maintain their age appearance by the time they ascend to QI Gathering Realm.

"And who you might be?" Ash looked at the young man in a yellow robe. This time, however, the robe was genuinely made from Arachnid’s Silk.
