Chapter 208: Chapter 134 Far Beyond Expectations_2

"Brother, do you know Miss Lu?" Someone came over. Earlier, he had wanted to develop Qin Ming into a connection, but lost interest immediately after learning he was from a remote place. Now, he came again.

"Elder Brother, are you very familiar with Miss Lu?" A girl in purple clothing also appeared, greeting him with a beaming smile.

Qin Ming was surrounded, but he was very straightforward, telling them that he had only met Lu Yuzhi a few times, and that if he wanted to join the Yuqing Lineage, he needed to start from the evaluation of a Registered Disciple.

A quarter of an hour later, the crowd around him dispersed, convinced that he really came from the remote Chixia City, and was not very familiar with the core Yuqing disciple Lu Yuzhi.

After Lu Yuzhi had a brief exchange with some geniuses from the giant city, she spoke up: "Here’s the deal, anyone who wants to sign up for Yuqing can take a test right now."

She took out a stack of Scripture Papers and distributed them, saying, "It records a kind of Heavenly Light Force, temporarily created by the elders of my sect. Those who can comprehend it and display four colors of brilliance can pass."

Qin Ming also received a piece of Scripture Paper in hand. Since it was Heavenly Light Force, he naturally wanted to see it.

It didn’t take long for him to master it, and he felt that there were more than just four colors of Heavenly Light entwined, there must have been even more power circulating.

Indeed, a more dazzling array of radiant colors emerged in the palm of this hand.

The people around him changed their gaze immediately, carefully counting and finding that it had reached eight colors; he was even trying to stir up more light and fog!

"Xiao Qin, we should leave." In the distance, Meng Xinghai appeared, calling for Qin Ming to depart.

"Okay!" Qin Ming nodded, the light in his palm extinguished, and he strode away.

In the Purple Bamboo Forest, various exclamations came.

"I passed! I cultivated four colors!"

Subsequently, a few people cultivated five colors, causing quite a stir.

People then turned their attention to Cao Wuji and discovered that he had actually cultivated seven colors, immediately causing a sensation.

His palm seemed to have a rainbow flowing within, with steamy light fog, sacred and peaceful, the dazzling brilliance was exceptionally eye-catching.

"Actually exceeding the standard like this!"

"Is this what a mutant is? The gap between us and him is so huge!"

For a moment, continuous expressions of admiration filled the Purple Bamboo Forest.

Many could only sigh that you can’t compare with others, this kind of perceptible talent gap, it’s really impossible to bridge, the difference is too great.

Cao Wuji remained indifferent, what’s so special about this?

However, he pondered for a moment and found the process of analysis quite interesting.

"This has nothing to do with a mutant’s physical talent; this test is only about comprehension. In fact, there is another color that can be displayed." Lu Yuzhi said with a smile, in her palm that was as white as jade, eight colors appeared, like a miniature celestial river flowing, dazzlingly brilliant.

Cao Wuji was surprised, could there really be an additional color?

Lu Yuzhi was actually very satisfied with him and reassured with a smile: "At this stage, being able to evolve seven colors is already incredible. The eighth color requires a unique understanding of merging with the Heavenly Light. After all, you haven’t learned that much..."

"I just saw someone who seemed to have released eight colors..." someone quietly spoke up.

"What are you talking about?" The people nearby questioned.

Others in the area also looked over.

"What’s wrong?" Lu Yuzhi asked.

The girl in purple was a little nervous, but still spoke up directly: "I just saw someone emit eight colors!"

"Impossible!"

"At our stage, how could our understanding of Heavenly Light possibly reach that level?"

"Who is it, where is he?"

The crowd was in disbelief.

Cao Wuji frowned, looking over this way.

A young genius from the giant city spoke up: "I seem to have seen it too, his palm displayed eight colors. It was that Qin Ming from the remote place, he was called away by someone."

Instantly, the place was in an uproar, there was actually someone who surpassed the mutant Cao Wuji. Could it be that his comprehension was so formidable?

Cao Wuji stood astonished, was there someone of the same age doing even better than him?

"This has nothing to do with the mutant’s root bone." Some tried to comfort him, attempting to flatter, but it turned out to be in vain.

Cao Wuji’s face was expressionless, yet tumultuous waves surged in his heart; someone’s understanding actually surpassed his own!

Lu Yuzhi also revealed a shocked expression, looking towards the direction where that figure in the Purple Bamboo Forest vanished, could he really possess such comprehension? Far beyond her expectations.

...

The next day, Cui He received some news and couldn’t help but frown.

"He went to Jinrui City and met with people from the Yuqing, Pure Yang, and other Taoist sects? Is he preparing to join a great religious sect’s ancestral court!"

"It seems so, by the way, there was a minor incident; his comprehension is quite astonishing..."

That day, Cui He received another report, Qin Ming was very interested in the Six Imperial Forces, seemingly keen to join that Taoist lineage!

When Cui Shuning learned of it, her expression turned gloomy, and she said: "He is a mutant, yet his comprehension is so extraordinary; isn’t he trying to squeeze out a spot among Chongxuan’s core disciples? It’s intentional!"

What’s most critical is that insiders hinted to them, Qin Ming has already won nineteen consecutive battles, just one more, and he can directly enter the Six Imperial Mountain Gate to be assessed by an Elder; passing it would make him a core disciple!

Instantly, both Cui He and Cui Shuning felt as if the sky had fallen; had they been outplayed? There was actually such a rule allowing direct access to the Six Imperial Mountain Gate to meet an Elder.

"Hurry and stop him, we can’t let him win the twentieth battle!"

"Where’s that strong youth we found earlier? Let him take the field!"

"He’s quite influential; it won’t be easy to ask him to step in!"

...

Meng Xinghai remained indifferent, rejecting the challenges others eagerly proposed, becoming choosy, stating only one battle remained and he was in no rush.

In the past two days, Lu Yuzhi found out that several acquaintances began inquiring about Qin Ming’s comprehension, all old friends from noble families.

"Hey, you didn’t know? The guy that the Cui Family gave up on has high talent and seems to be making a rise."

"I heard there’s going to be an exciting battle soon, wanna go watch it? Yes, that’s right, there’s a mysterious young warrior who’s supposed to confront that Qin Ming."

...

Four days later, everything was negotiated satisfactorily, and all related parties had given their consent; a duel of considerable interest to many was arranged without wide publicity.

Meng Xinghai was quite pleased, although he already knew it would be unlikely to obtain the "Zhu Shi Scripture," he nonetheless managed to negotiate for the remaining fragments and the "Yimu Scripture," which was enough.

This time, the stakes included not only the "Yimu Scripture" but also six pages of the "Zhu Shi Scripture," far exceeding expectations!

Cui He was in a foul mood, feeling after the fact that he had been led by the nose by Meng Xinghai, completely following the other’s pace.

Cui Shuning also was displeased, for she had found out that this low-key competition they hoped for would be witnessed by a small group of familiar faces, all from noble families.

Although this wouldn’t be reported publicly, the presence of their familiar faces still made her feel awkward. Were they here to watch their spectacle?

Her expression was frosty; most hateful was that Meng Xinghai and certain individuals from the Li Family were protecting Qin Ming, and Fifth Master Cui was still accompanying Li Qingyun for a "drink," how many days had it been already?!

Two days later, some acquaintances appeared in Chixia City.

The arrival of members of the Li Family immediately enraged both Cui He and Cui Shuning.

The Wang family members showed up expressionless, leaving them somewhat helpless.

"What are you little brats doing here?" Cui He finally caught someone he could bully, swinging his hand for a slap.

Zheng Maorong was a bit stunned, really wanting to retaliate... but he refrained, as he truly couldn’t win. He was just here to watch the battle after hearing the news; how did he end up getting slapped out of nowhere?

"And you lot, a bunch of youngsters not doing anything productive, why come to stir up excitement?!" Cui He was furious.

Slap slap...

A group of youths were all infuriated!

"Lu Yuzhi is here too, why don’t you dare to touch her?" someone challenged.

Late at night, outside of Chixia City, a thick fog enveloped the air; the world seemed to be drenched in ink, pitch-black, and indiscernible.

Qin Ming stood quietly, and from the dense fog before him, slowly walked out a young figure!
