Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Controlling Potential_1

"Number three, Ling Xiao!"

After Leng Mei finished her test, it was Ling Xiao’s turn.

Upon hearing the name Ling Xiao, the eyes of Master Baiyun, Xu Ling, as well as Xu Ying and others all converged.

Their target was precisely Ling Xiao.

A look of indifference remained on Xu Ying’s face, as in her opinion, Ling Xiao, at fourteen years old and still only at the Eighth Level Cultivation of the Martial Veins, definitely couldn’t have higher potential than her.

But to tell the truth, she still felt somewhat nervous inside.

After all, Ling Xiao had killed Zuo Leng, and his potential was still an unknown quantity.

She, Xu Ying, certainly would not lose to Ling Xiao.

She couldn’t afford to lose either because Zhu Hua, Butterfly Dance Victoria, and Lu Xing had already been eliminated.

Ling Xiao simply bowed to Master Baiyun and then walked towards the mountain gate, without so much as glancing at Xu Ying.

Even though Ling Xiao’s Martial Soul could hide his aura and cultivation level, his long-standing confidence still gave him a distinct feeling.

This prompted Elder Bai to take an extra look at him.

Zhao Ci and Prince Zhao Zhi also focused their gaze on Ling Xiao.

What kind of potential could such a calm and restrained young man have?

"Hmph, putting on airs!"

Seeing that Ling Xiao was already receiving so much attention before his test, Xu Ying felt displeased.

She didn’t realize that people who had such thoughts often did so because they lacked self-confidence.

Before reaching the gate, Ling Xiao also gently tapped it, not using much force and not activating his Mountain and River Martial Soul.

One star, two stars, three stars!

"That should do it!"

Ling Xiao kept his hand on the mountain gate, allowing him to control the display of his potential, a feat no one else could accomplish except for him.

In reality, the moment his hand touched the gate, the Seven-Star Flower within the Mountain and River World had already reacted, somehow connecting with the gate and controlling its transformations.

However, this required him to touch the gate; otherwise, he could have really tricked Xu Ying.

"Three stars, Precious Treasure Body, passed, scoring 20 points!"

This level of talent, similar to Princess Zhao Ci of the Northern Han Kingdom and Leng Mei, although remarkable, was far inferior compared to Ming Tian and Leng Hao.

Hence, it definitely wouldn’t attract much attention.

In fact, if Ling Xiao displayed his full potential, the door probably wouldn’t have been sufficient, likely incurring even more jealousy from the heavens than they had for Leng Hao.

"Precious Treasure Body, hmph, that’s not bad, but it’s far from comparing to me!"

Seeing the result, Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Xiao’s strength and potential were inferior to hers, which to her was definitely great news.

Xu Ling also visibly relaxed.

No matter what, his relationship with Master Baiyun wasn’t that harmonious.

The relations between the Ninja Clan and the Human Race weren’t good either, and he would hate to see Ling Xiao turn out to be an earth-shattering character.

Ling Xiao withdrew his hand, gave a salutory cup of the hands to Elder Bai, and then stood on the qualified side.

He had scored ten points from the first assessment and twenty from this one, adding up to thirty points. As long as nothing unexpected happened in the subsequent assessments, qualifying with a mediocre score should not be a problem.

"Kid, you’re just so-so, hmph, thinking of entering Moon Hua Sect with such qualifications, do you really think you can compete with Ming Tian, compete with us?"

As chance would have it, standing near Ling Xiao was Hei Suo.

This fellow also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Xiao’s cunning and combat strength were both too astounding; he truly feared that if this kid had heaven-defying talent and was noticed by some elder, even his master, Demonflame Celestial, couldn’t suppress this young man.

Now it was fine.

A mere Precious Treasure Body was not a concern, for before the expansion of recruitment, such a status was merely a passing standard.

Hei Suo, after all, was of an Immortal Grade Treasure Body!

Ling Xiao’s performance was considered not bad, but not exceptional, which also prevented Hei Suo from having any further suspicions.

If Ling Xiao performs too poorly or even shows less potential than Leng Mei, Hei Suo might instead suspect that there’s something fishy about this test.

Master Baiyun had been observing Hei Suo’s facial expressions closely and, seeing this, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that Ling Xiao has passed this trial of hiding his brilliance and biding his time. Now the next step is dedicated cultivation.

"Number two, Xu Ying!"

As the voice echoed, Xu Ying, with a cold expression, walked to the front of the mountain gate.

Ling Xiao truly had no interest in Xu Ying; he was simply lost in thought about his own affairs. Having passed the trial of potential, he was now almost certain to enter the Moon Hua Sect.

And oh, how full of longing he was for his own future.

However, unlike him, Xu Ying’s unique aura had won the favor of many young prodigies. The eyes of many young men were almost turning into hearts.

Hum~~

Another terrifying sound erupted, causing the entire mountain gate to flicker momentarily.

Fortunately, this time no thunderclouds appeared, which meant that Xu Ying’s potential was somewhat less than Leng Hao’s.

Yet even so, the brilliant radiance still outshone all others present.

Four stars!

All four stars lit up. Although it was only her soul’s potential that reached this degree, with the other two types of potential around two stars, it was still extremely formidable.

"Good! Four stars, Immortal Treasure Body, passed, score 30!"

Perhaps because a counter-celestial genius like Leng Hao had appeared, Elder Bai’s reaction wasn’t particularly ecstatic, but one could still see his face smiling like a blooming flower.

Immortal Treasure Body!

Even without expanded recruitment, she would easily qualify to join the Moon Hua Sect.

"Old Baiyun, what do you think? Not bad for my daughter, eh?" Xu Ling said provocatively as he looked over at Master Baiyun.

"Indeed not bad, but she still falls short compared to Ming Tian and Zuo Leng," Master Baiyun shook his head and replied.

He did not mention Ling Xiao, as he too needed to keep Ling Xiao’s secret.

"True, she’s a bit below Ming Tian and Zuo Leng, but compared to your proud disciple Ling Xiao, she’s much better, right?"

Xu Ling glanced at Ling Xiao, hoping to see shock in his eyes.

However, alas.

Ling Xiao hadn’t paid any attention to the situation here at all, his head was bowed as he pondered his own matters.

"Hmph, this kid really knows how to feign ignorance," Xu Ling snorted coldly, resolving to interpret Ling Xiao’s indifference as an act, as he refused to admit that Ling Xiao looked down on Xu Ying’s abilities.

"Number one, Zhao Zhi!"

The Third Prince of the Northern Han Kingdom, Zhao Zhi, a late-stage Martial Pulse Ninth Level expert, only sixteen years old.

He killed an assassin of the same Eighth Level Cultivation with just three moves.

All signs indicated that his potential was also astonishingly great.

When his name was called, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Many wanted to know if Zhao Zhi could, like Leng Hao, incite the jealousy of the heavens.

Even Elder Bai looked intently at Zhao Zhi, seemingly filled with anticipation.

Zhao Zhi stood there, raised his right hand, and struck forth with a palm.

The mountain gate trembled, and a flash of golden light burst forth.

The dazzling brightness made it difficult for many to keep their eyes open.

This spectacle was even slightly stronger than Xu Ying’s.

Four stars!

A bit more than four, but sadly not enough to reach five stars!

"Four stars, Immortal Treasure Body, passed, this part of the assessment scores 30!"
