C16 First-trials of the Blue Cloud Sect
C16 First-trials of the Blue Cloud Sect
At the center of the Green Cloud City was a huge martial stage, and there were already many figures waiting there. Today, the Four Great Clans of the Green Cloud City were going to fight for the only placing to enter the Azure Cloud Sect.
Ji Lei stood in the middle of the crowd and listened to the excited discussions around him. Many people were guessing which one of them was the lucky one to be able to enter Azure Cloud Sect this time around.
"I heard that this time, there will be many experts from Azure Cloud Sect coming to observe. I wonder if anyone will discover me and bring me into the Azure Cloud Sect as well …" Someone said with a face full of anticipation.
As soon as he said that, many people on the side beat him up, "Don't even dream about your grade two martial spirit. The Azure Cloud Sect's spots are so precious, they must be left for the geniuses."
"I heard that the Ji Family, Ji Yun, has already entered the Azure Cloud Sect. I wonder if that's true?"
"That's right. I heard that I was discovered during a training session. What luck. It's a pity that I don't have such good luck …"
"Ji Yun? It was Ji Yun who was defeated by Ji Family, Ji Lei? If you say it like that, Ji Lei might be able to snatch this slot! "
"Him? Forget it... I already felt it was strange that he could defeat Ji Yun. He must have used some shady method, and his martial spirit is a grade one martial spirit, so what's the difference between that and a trash martial spirit? I think Ji Yun lost to him because he didn't want to compete with him. Ji Lei wants to compete with Shen Tuke? That is truly overestimating yourself. "
Ji Lei listened to the whole conversation but didn't say anything. Ji Lei obviously wouldn't care about these rumors, but since they said it, then Ji Lei would be interested in listening to it.
"It doesn't matter if Ji Lei used any tricks or not, it can only be played by people of Ji Yun's level. In front of absolute strength, all of them are but fleeting clouds. The one who entered the Azure Cloud Sect this year, must have been Shen Tuke!"
Just as the crowd was discussing about this, several cranes suddenly flew over from the sky above Green Cloud City. A few people stood on top of them, and when they landed, they raised a cloud of dust.
The one in the lead was a white robed old man, who seemed to have a sage aura around him. Standing next to the old man were a few people who looked like Azure Cloud Sect disciples, but Ji Lei was able to immediately see that there was actually Ji Yun's figure inside.
"I didn't think that this guy had already run off to the Azure Cloud Sect in the past few days." Ji Lei muttered to himself, no wonder his Ji Family couldn't find him these past few days, it was because he followed Azure Cloud Sect. At the same time, Ji Yun also locked onto Ji Lei's figure with a single glance. An uncontrollable rage immediately gushed out from his eyes. The moment he saw Ji Lei, Ji Yun gnashed his teeth in anger.
The white robed old man stood on the stage and looked at the crowd. Then, he waved his sleeve at them. His voice was old but filled with vigor.
"This old one's Azure Cloud Sect is too vast, and I believe all of you are familiar with it, so I will not be introducing it. Time is of the essence, the first ceremony will begin now."
As soon as Cang Shan finished speaking, the servant beside him took out a compass and handed it to him. Cang Shan then raised the compass and said to everyone: "First, test the grade of your martial spirit. Those who want to join my Azure Cloud Sect, line up and take your test one by one. Those whose martial spirit grade does not exceed the fourth grade of Yellow Rank, do not have the qualifications to participate in the next round of the test."
The moment Cang Shan said this, it immediately attracted a lot of discussion:
"Fourth-grade Yellow Rank? Isn't this too strict? "
"How many fourth stage Yellow Rank realm warriors can there be in the entire Green Cloud City …"
Hearing this, Ji Lei slightly frowned, but he didn't say anything. Ji Yun, who was in the distance, snickered, "Trash, with that grade one martial spirit of yours, you don't even have the qualifications to pass the first round."
"Ji Yun, what are you talking about?" Beside Ji Yun, there was a handsome man who looked a little feminine. When he heard Ji Yun's soft voice, he couldn't help but come over and ask curiously.
Ji Yun waved his hand and smiled at him, "No, Brother Bai Chen. I just feel that elder Cang Shan's requirements are quite strict."
Hearing that, Bai Chen nodded his head indifferently, then shifted his gaze onto a young lady beside him. He spoke in a flattering tone: "Junior Sister Ling Xue, which family do you think will be the disciple to enter our Azure Cloud Sect this year?"
If Ji Lei saw this scene, he would definitely be very familiar with this girl because he had already seen her in the Hidden Cloud Mountain Range …
A trace of avoidance flashed across Ling Xue's beautiful eyes. Out of politeness, she smiled at Bai Chen and said, "Brother Bai Chen has overestimated Ling Xue. Before the results came out, who dares to say that they won?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Bai Chen was a suitor for Ling Xue, and someone like Bai Chen still had a lot of Azure Cloud Sect. It was just that Bai Chen was a little more competitive, but unfortunately, Ling Xue did not seem to be interested in the handsome senior, Bai Chen, who had his bare hands at the Azure Cloud Sect.
Bai Chen felt embarrassed and felt embarrassed, but he still chose to keep his mouth shut.
"Hehe …" Didn't Ji Yun say that the Spiritual Essence Pill would be taken away after killing Ji Lei … "It's clear that Ji Lei cannot even pass the first stage of the test now …" Shen Tuke snickered when he heard the rules.
"Yeah, what a pity. Originally, I wanted to fight with Wu Tie and see if he is as strong as the legends say. But now …" "What a pity." Wang Cheng, who was beside Shen Tuke, also shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be regretful.
Amongst the three of them, only Luo Tong's face had been gloomy the entire time. After he had discovered his younger brother's corpse last night, Luo Tong's expression had always been the same. Compared to his brother's death, what was even more unacceptable to Luo Tong was that someone actually dared to kill a member of the Luo Family within the Green Cloud City. This caused Luo Tong, who had always been arrogant, to find it hard to swallow his anger.
After Cang Shan said this, he turned to the crowd and asked, "Who will go first?"
Hearing this, those who knew that their strength was insufficient immediately retreated a step back. They all said that those who didn't have enough grade would not be able to advance, so they wouldn't embarrass themselves.
"I'll go first!" Seeing that no one came first, Wang Cheng went up onto the stage first and walked in front of Cang Shan. He then pressed his hand on the compass.
The moment Wang Cheng pressed his palm, the needle pointed at the symbol "Wu".
"Fifth Rank in Yellow Rank!" Cang Shan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that other than Ji Yun, such a genius would appear in the Green Cloud City. Cang Shan was very satisfied with the grade of Wang Cheng's martial spirit.
"Wang family's Wang Cheng possesses a martial spirit of the fifth grade Rakshasi Saber. "Promotions."
After Wang Cheng, Luo Tong also walked up onto the stage. A moment later, Cang Shan announced, "Luo Family's Luo Tong possesses a grade five silver spear. "Promotions."
"Two grade five martial spirits, how come your Green Cloud City has become so powerful this year?" Bai Chen looked at Ling Xue, but Ling Xue ignored him. Immediately, Bai Chen felt awkward and could only help himself. He said awkwardly: "Yeah, a hero comes from a young man."
Wang Cheng and Luo Tong had already finished their tests. Next, Shen Tuke leaped onto the martial stage. He walked up to Cang Shan with quick steps, full of confidence. Without any hesitation, he pressed his hand on the compass!
All of a sudden, a look of concern appeared in Cang Shan's eyes, he stared at the compass and all of the disciples present also waited for Cang Shan to announce the result, because the Shentu Clan had always kept Shen Tuke's martial spirit well hidden, and what rank his martial spirit was, it had always been a mystery, so this time, everyone's curiosity was piqued. After Shen Tuke finished his test, they held their hands down, and Cang Shan looked at the pointer on the compass, a look of shock flashed across his eyes, and then he took a deep breath and announced to everyone: "Tu Clan, Shen Tuke, is a martial spirit … Grade six Qilin bow! "Promotions!
As soon as Cang Shan spoke, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar!
"Grade six martial spirit!"
"Sixth Rank?"
"This is way too shocking …"
Everyone looked at Shen Tuke with reverence in their eyes. A grade six martial spirit was something that only occurred once in a hundred years! The last martial artist who had awakened a grade six martial spirit in the Green Cloud City had become a well-known figure! This had already happened decades ago. The expert had already left Green Cloud City, and Green Cloud City, after several tens of years, had once again waited for Shen Tuke!
"Sixth Rank in Yellow Rank …" An indescribable glint flashed across Bai Chen's eyes, "He's actually taller than me …"
Although Ji Yun was prepared, he was still quite shocked by Shen Tuke. Amidst his shock, Ji Yun also started to feel glad for his luck. Luckily, he was discovered earlier, otherwise, his position would have belonged to Shen Tuke.
Ling Xue's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment, but it quickly calmed down.
Shen Tuke graciously received the gazes of worship from the crowd. After a moment, he looked at a figure in the crowd. After which, he made a provocative gesture with his finger and arrogantly said, "Ji Lei, it's your turn now!"
Shen Tuke's sudden appearance caused everyone to look at Ji Lei in unison. There was doubt and mockery in their eyes. Who didn't know that Ji Lei's martial spirit was only a grade one trash martial spirit? By doing so, Shen Tuke was clearly trying to humiliate Ji Lei!
However, there wasn't much emotion on Ji Lei's face as he calmly walked onto the stage. Everyone's eyes were focused on Ji Lei, and even Cang Shan was curious. Could a person who Shen Tuke called a Dao Expert be another top rank genius?
"It's him?" When Ling Xue saw Ji Lei's figure, a faint blush appeared on her pretty face. She looked at Ji Lei with embarrassment, annoyance, and curiosity.
"Is this brat's strength similar to Shen Tuke?" Ling Xue could not help but have some questions in her heart. According to the thinking of normal people, shouldn't they only care about those whose strength was on par with hers? But apparently, Ling Xue guessed wrongly what Shen Tuke meant.
Ling Xue's small expression was completely captured by Bai Chen. Why did this Ji Lei cause Ling Xue's emotions to fluctuate? Could it be …
"Junior knows Ji Lei?"
Ling Xue's face turned even redder when she heard that. She shook her head repeatedly. "No, who would know him? I don't know him, I don't know him!"
Ling Xue was clearly lying, but Bai Chen did not say anything and just nodded his head. However, his gaze towards Ji Lei showed a little more hostility.
No matter if the rumor that Ji Lei defeated Ji Yun was believable or not, everyone knew that Ji Lei only had a grade one martial spirit. If Ji Lei still went up on stage like this, wasn't it obvious that he was trying to make things difficult for them?
Cang Shan looked at Ji Lei expectantly. Ji Lei, on the other hand, remained calm and put his hand on the compass.
The atmosphere immediately turned silent. Ji Lei could even feel how awkward Cang Shan was right now.
Staring at the miserable "One", Cang Shan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Did such a disciple have the nerve to come up and take the test? Aren't you afraid of losing face?
After a long period of silence, Cang Shan finally recovered and announced with disappointment, "Ji Family, Ji Lei, first grade martial spirit … "The Thunder Martial Soul..."
"Hahaha!"
The entire arena burst into laughter. Although they already knew this would happen, these youths still wanted to find some fun on Ji Lei's body to make up for their injuries from not being able to enter the Azure Cloud Sect.
"What …" "I was looking forward to it …" Ling Xue looked at Ji Lei's martial spirit and was extremely disappointed. But before she could react, her heart suddenly shook. Ling Xue realized that this martial spirit seemed to be very different from the martial spirit Ji Lei used that day!
"His martial spirit is... Thunder Martial Soul? " Ling Xue was filled with suspicion. She clearly remembered that Ji Lei had summoned his martial spirit that day, a halberd that was engraved with dragon patterns! He was as mighty as he could be, and as domineering as he could be! How could it be the current Thunder Martial Soul?!
"Could it be …" A hint of suspicion appeared in Ling Xue's eyes. She had an idea, but it was quickly dispelled, "Impossible, there are only a handful of martial practitioners with twin martial spirits in the entire Heaven of Martial God, how could it happen to appear on Ji Lei's body?"
Bai Chen and Ji Yun burst into laughter. Ji Lei was here to make a fool out of himself! Bai Chen even felt that the attention he gave Ji Lei just now was due to a nervous breakdown. To pay attention to a trash with a grade one martial spirit? How stupid!
The corner of Ji Lei's mouth rose. In order to not be suspected, he intentionally suppressed the level of the Thunder Martial Soul to the first stage of the Yellow Rank. Of course, he had his own reasons for doing so.
Although Cang Shan was disappointed, he still said kindly to Ji Lei: "First grade martial spirit … You may go. "
Ji Lei shook his head and said to Cang Shan, "Elder, don't worry. I have something to show you."
"Is there anything else …" Cang Shan was a bit impatient, but he suddenly saw Ji Lei's hand quietly press onto the compass again. The compass needle started to turn again and stopped at the sixth tick.
"You … "You actually …" Cang Shan's gaze was filled with shock as he looked at Ji Lei in disbelief. However, Ji Lei secretly gestured at Cang Shan to be quiet. Cang Shan immediately understood and nodded vigorously!
Dual Martial Spirits … This was an existence that was as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns in Heaven of Martial God. Although one of his martial spirits was only a grade one, the other martial spirit was terrifying to the point of grade six!
Compared to Shen Tuke, Ji Lei was much more shocking to Cang Shan. After all, twin Martial Spirits were already an extremely rare existence, not to mention one of them had a grade six Martial Spirit.
The long period of hesitation in Cang Shan caused everyone to quiet down. They waited with ridicule for Cang Shan to announce the result of Ji Lei's elimination.
However, the outcome surprised everyone. Cang Shan took a deep breath, and after that, with a trembling voice, he announced: "Ji Family, Ji Lei … "Promotions!"
