Chapter 99: The Genius Soul, Chang Feng Mo Fei Bai

  "Oh, this little guy looks like he's not even ten years old yet? At such a young age, he has already reached the sixth rank of Soul Servant! Not bad, really not bad. As you said, you should have hope to pass the test!" The white-robed elder smiled and walked forward, patting Helianuo on the head.

  "Arrogant and conceited little brat......", hearing the white-robed old man praise Helian Nuo, Lan You Ruo muttered to herself with a sour tone. Ever since her precious squirrel was taken back by Helian Nuo, Lan You Ruo had been harboring resentment towards him and always looked for opportunities to oppose him.

  He Lianuo naturally heard Lan You Ruo's muttering, but this time he didn't come forward to argue like usual. He simply made a face and ran off on his own. In fact, what He Lianuo is most concerned about right now is the test for Sheng Hun Academy. Just by looking at him, anyone can easily tell that he has reached a high level of cultivation. He Lianuo, who has always pursued great power, couldn't wait to become a member of Sheng Hun Academy!

  "Alright, there will be plenty of opportunities to catch up later. Since there are fewer people taking the initial test at this time, I'll take you all to take the test quickly. If you pass, you'll have more time to prepare for the second round!" The white-robed elder seemed to notice Helian's anxiety and beckoned the four of them to follow him as he led the way.

  After turning several corners, the group finally arrived at a huge square. The square was already packed with people, and according to the white-robed old man, there were dozens of such testing grounds in the city, which also showed how massive the number of participants was!

  The old man in white robes had to pass the test papers of Helian No and three others, squeezed through the crowd to the examiner's place, looked at the dense crowd, and smiled helplessly. He smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes and said softly, "No way, although I'm a teacher here, everything has to follow procedure, not even half a bit of favoritism is allowed. Let's just stand here honestly and wait for our names to be called before going up for the test."

  Zhang Fang helplessly shrugged his shoulders, he naturally knew that the more prestigious the school was, the stricter and more complicated the rules were, almost no one would open a convenient door for anyone. It's just that there were too many people here, and by the time Helianno and others took the test, it was estimated that the sky would be dark.

  He looked at the long queue in front of him, and Helian Nu frowned. Anyway, waiting was boring, so he took advantage of his agile body and squeezed to the very front. In the center of the crowd, a circle was cleared out, with two giant stones over a meter high standing there, one transparent and one black. Three old men in white robes stood around the stones, one holding a list and calling out names, while the other two held pens and recorded something.

  "Is this a Soul Testing Stone?" Helian whispered to himself, recalling how Helian had used the Soul Testing Stone to test his soul power in the Youyue Forest before. The two stone statues in the center of the arena were probably also Soul Testing Stones!

  "To be precise, the transparent stone on the left is a Soul Power Level Measuring Stone, used to test the soul cultivator's level of soul refinement. The black stone on the right is a Soul Power Reserve Measuring Stone, used to test the amount of soul power one possesses. It's said that to pass the test, first, one must be under twenty years old; second, their soul refinement level must not be lower than the Soul Servant level; and third, which is also the most difficult part, one must use all their soul power to light up the Soul Power Reserve Measuring Stone. The examiners will divide the different brightness levels into nine grades, with four or above considered a pass. However, even if these three conditions are met, it's not over yet - the examinee still needs to enter the large hall inside and battle against a strong opponent sent by the Holy Soul Academy; only victory will be considered passing the initial test. In fact, from morning till now, there have been only three soul cultivators who managed to enter the hall, but all of them were carried out on stretchers after just a short while..." A square-faced youth beside He Lianuo enthusiastically began explaining the rules of the initial test."

  Khaleno, the friendly and square-faced young man, smiled slightly before shifting his attention to the scene inside. Indeed, for soul users under the age of twenty, reaching the Soul Servant level was not easy, although it couldn't be said that it was as difficult as ascending to heaven. Khaleno observed for a while and found that only three soul users had reached the Soul Servant level, but they all encountered obstacles at the second soul-testing stone and were ruthlessly eliminated.

  "Can't we find even one who meets the standard in our group today?" A white-robed old man in the field shook his head helplessly, turned to the next page of the list, and called out the name of the next soul to take the test with a lack of enthusiasm: "Mo Fei Bai!"

  He Lian Nu's heart tightened at the sound, wasn't that the scoundrel who was teasing Lan You Zhu on the road? Thinking of this, he hurriedly tiptoed and stared with wide eyes towards the center of the arena!

  As expected, the white-clad man who slowly walked into the arena was none other than Mo Fei Bai, who had fought with He Lian Nu before. At this moment, he was smiling confidently as he made his way to the center of the stage. After scanning the surrounding Soul Masters in a circle, he loudly declared: "Everyone, keep your eyes wide open! I will be the first man to pass through this arena! Remember the name Mo Fei Bai, because soon you will all look up to my accomplishments!"

  "He's even more arrogant than Helianuo! ", Lan Youruo sneered, clearly not fond of Mo Feibai's flamboyant personality. This time, Lan Youzhu was on the same side as her sister, and she also despised this little white face who had openly flirted with her.

  Zhang Fang anxiously searched for Helian Nuo's figure in the crowd, fearing that he would cause trouble with Mo Fei Bai in public. Only when he saw Helian Nuo standing quietly did he slightly put his mind at ease, and he pulled the two Lan sisters to squeeze beside Helian Nuo.

  The old man in white robes in the center of the field seemed to be accustomed to such arrogant test-takers, and he simply opened the list with a light tone, reading slowly without any emotion: "Mo Fei Bai, 13 years old, from the Longfeng Empire, is the information we recorded true?"

  "It's all true, every single word is true! Hurry up and start the test already, I'm eager to get back to the inn and have a drink!" Mo Feibai waved his hand impatiently, completely disregarding the examiner.

  "Thirteen years old? This kid is only thirteen years old? How can he look so mature?" Helianuo looked down at his own arms and legs, suddenly feeling a bit depressed. According to the customs of the Youyue Continent, men were considered adults at fourteen, but in reality, many boys and girls were already married and having children at twelve or thirteen. This was also something that Helianuo, who came from another world, found hard to accept. Not to mention others, just take Lan Youzhu for example - she was only eighteen this year, yet she had been a married woman for three years already. However, her relationship with her husband was extremely cold, and they hardly saw each other all year round, almost like enemies.

  The examiner nodded, closed the list and pointed to the left soul-testing stone, saying faintly: "In that case, put your hand on that soul-testing stone and test your soul-refining level!"

  Mo Fei Bai smiled and walked to the Soul Testing Stone, lightly placing his palm on it. The originally transparent stone changed instantly as soon as his palm touched it, and in a short while, the lower half of the stone had turned pale blue!

  The examiner walked up to the Soul Testing Stone, examined it carefully, and then loudly declared: "Mo Fei Bai, Soul Servant Ninth Stage, Main Cultivation Wind System!"

  As the test results were announced, the onlookers suddenly became noisy. Apparently, reaching Soul Servant 9th rank at the age of thirteen was already an extremely outstanding achievement.

  The examiner's expression remained unchanged, seeing the assistant record the result, he pointed to the black soul-testing stone on the right and said: "Mo Fei Bai, you have passed the first test of the preliminary trial. Now, pour as much of your total soul power as possible into the soul-testing stone on the right!"

  Mo Fei smiled complacently, slowly formed a horse stance, and placed his hands on the Soul Measuring Stone to his right. Gradually, the stone underwent a transformation - from being originally dull and lightless, it began to radiate brilliant rays of light all around. The surrounding souls had no choice but to shut their eyes, fearing that they would be injured by the intense light.

  After a long time, Mo Fei Bai finally couldn't hold on anymore. He slowly withdrew his soul power and walked to the side of the arena, taking a handkerchief from his subordinate to wipe away the sweat beads on his forehead. Apparently, the soul power test had also exhausted all his energy.

  "Mò Fēi Bái, soul servant of the 9th floor, main cultivation wind system, soul power level, 7th grade!" Even the usually calm and collected examiner's tone had some fluctuations at this moment, it was clear that Mò Fēi Bái's test results made him very satisfied.

  "What, seventh level? I thought the highest level that appeared today was only fifth level! This kid, how can he be so formidable!", The square-faced boy standing next to He Lianuo opened his mouth in surprise. According to the rules of this initial test, a soul power level of fourth level was considered passing, but Mo Fei Bai had reached all the way to seventh level, which couldn't help but make the surrounding onlookers feel shocked.

  "Since you've passed the first two stages, next, you can go to the great hall inside and challenge our dispatched testing soul, as long as you can defeat him, you'll pass the initial trial!" The white-robed examiner put his hands behind his back, suspending the test for others, apparently eager to see how Mo Fei Bai would perform in the third stage.

  Mo Fei took a deep breath and stepped into the large, enclosed hall. As soon as he entered, the door automatically closed behind him. Apparently, the third test was to be conducted in isolation.

  It was unclear how much time had passed, perhaps it was an hour, or maybe just the time it took to burn a single incense stick. The large doors of the hall slowly opened, and everyone tiptoed towards the direction of the opening, only to see Mò Fēi Bái, with his hair disheveled and his face covered in grime, walking out while supporting himself against the wall. His originally white long robe was now dyed completely red from blood, and wounds of all sizes could be seen on his body. The chief examiner hastily retreated into the hall, only to come back out a moment later. After taking a look at Mò Fēi Bái, who was having his wounds bandaged by his subordinates, the white-robed examiner's eyes shone brightly as he loudly declared: "Mò Fēi Bái, ranked ninth in the Wind Servant rankings, main attribute is wind, soul power level seven. He has defeated the test soul and successfully passed the first round of testing, advancing to the second round!"
