Chapter 204: Disturbances Arose Repeatedly
Translator: Flying Lines
The fight in front of Mist College finally drew to an end, but the disturbances therefrom didn’t stop accordingly.
Three or five of those practitioners got together and discussed the sudden fight with each other. The way they looked at Lin Xun became rather complicated.
However, sitting alone on a stone step beside the square, Lin Xun seemed not aware of those eyes fixed on him and was lost in his meditation.
Lin Xun understood the difference of the fighting capacity of a Human-gang-realm practitioner for the first time in that fight just now.
Hurting the opponent across the air, beyond all doubt, made a fight more dangerous and more unpredictable.
To his surprise, when he operated his Windstorm Millstone, the strong power it released totally exceeded his prediction.
In a normal case, his Spiritual Gang Energy was the purest one as clear as a glaze with a preeminent quality, out of the ordinary.
He thereby could burst out the extremely strong fighting capacity in a fight; when Windstorm Millstone ran inside his body, his fighting capacity became much stronger on the basis of that!
That was what surprised Lin Xun most.
Having pondered over the whole process of the fight, Lin Xun came to realize quickly that his Spiritual Gang Energy, powered by Windstorm Millstone, operated in a unique way, thus, owning a terrible explosive force like a spring pushed to the limit.
Moreover, this force was released in a windstorm swirl-like way as if a pointed cone revolved at full speed, generating much more lethal power than that in normal condition!
“This perhaps is the magic of the Pond of Spiritual Power. The reason why the Pond of Spiritual Power is divided into different levels is that the power of each level is totally different from each other...”
He was lost in his thought. Distinctive and mysterious, his Pond of Spiritual Power was indeed unique and totally different from other ordinary kinds of first-class Pond of Spiritual Power.
His Pond of Spiritual Power could even mysteriously resonate with the spiritual energy swirl over the four acupoints of cardiac vessel!
How could the others’ compare with his?
The Human-gang-realm practitioners who could generate the second-class Ponds of Spiritual Power was praised as the first-rate figures. Thus, those who owned the first-class ones were billed as the leading figures in the world.
However, Lin’s Pond of Spiritual Power was even superior to those of the first-class!
People like Lin Xun were destined to be incapable of being judged by secular standards.
...
Soon, it was the high time to sign up for the Province Test. As the bell rang melodiously, the gate of Mist College that had been closed opened slowly now.
In an instant, all those who had been waiting on the square for a long time felt heartened and swarmed into the Mist College.
Having woken up from his meditation, Lin Xun stood up, took out the certificate he had already prepared, and joined the crowd moving forward.
A teenager clad in plain clothes, with a mien of standing out among others, approached him and said in a muffled voice, “I’m Cao Yunxiu from Taihang Town, Green-maple County. My greetings.”
Lin Xun did a double-take and said, “Friend, what’s up?”
Cao Yunxiu said in admiration, “You counterattacked in rage, strongly frustrating the arrogance of the noble juniors, and I really esteem you. Your doings actually vent the anger of our poor juniors.”
Lin Xun said with his eyebrows raised, “Sorry. I did this not to defend the poor juniors.”
He became a little cold in attitude, because Cao Yunxiu directly labeled him as a poor practitioner, which made him a little annoyed.
He didn’t look down on the poor juniors, but he hated to be labeled like this.
Cao Yunxiu was apparently stunned and said, “Childe, my friends and I have seen what you did. I think that we have a lot in common. If we can become friends, with the power we have, we don’t need to act according to the moods of those noble juniors anymore.”
Lin Xun said with his brow furrowed, “What on earth are you referring to?”
Cao Yunxiu took a deep breath and looked around. When he didn’t see anyone noticing their actions, he said with his voice down, “I co-founded ‘Qingyun Commune’ with some friends in the same camp with the purpose of uniting those who have the first-rate talents but were born poor. We can help each other and make progress in cultivation. Would you like to join us?”
Lin Xun realized at the time that this guy wanted to rope him in.
“Sorry, I am not interested.”
As he spoke, he walked forward. He wasn’t interested in joining the Qingyun Commune, an alliance of the poor juniors.
Cao Yunxiu fell into a trance. He looked somewhat gloomy while watching Lin Xun walk away.
“Brother Cao, what did he say?” asked someone after he approached Cao Yunxiu.
“What else could he say? Our Qingyun Commune isn’t attractive to such a powerful figure,” said Cao Yunxiu with a forced smile.
“Humph, he’s too arrogant! We have the same background. How could he despise us?” said that man with a sneer.
Cao Yunxiu said calmly with a smile, “You can’t say that. He might have his own considerations. But I believe when Qingyun Commune emerges as a big organization, he’ll regret for the decision he made today!”
That man said in admiration, “Brother Cao, only such a broad-minded person like you can lead us to rise!”
Cao Yunxiu laughed and said, “Let’s go and register for the test. The Province Test will be the first step for our Qingyun Commune to rise. We’re bound to gain a foothold in the empire!”
...
“Brother Dongtu, how do you like the little boy just now?” asked a middle-aged man in a white robe suddenly.
He had earlier stood in the distance of white-jade square and watched those young practitioners enter Mist College.
“Not bad. He’s a rare talent,” said a tall man standing upright beside him while nodding.
Attired in black clothes with wide sleeves, the man had a broad forehead and cold eyes. He carelessly stood there but released an awe-inspiring mien.
If the big shots of Mist City were here, they would definitely recognize that the middle-aged man in a white robe was Wei Lingzhen, head of Mist College and a great practitioner with unfathomable cultivation, who was well-known in Southwestern Province.
Beside Wei Lingzhen was Du Dongtu, commander-in-chief of Ziling Army stationed in Southwestern Province. Governor Liu Wujun was the only one who was on a par with him in terms of the power and status in the whole Southwestern Province.
Wei Lingzhen said with a smile, “Haha, since you call him a rare talent, he must be outstanding. I wonder which clan he comes from, for I haven’t heard of his name before.”
Having thought for a while, Du Dongtu said, “I’m quite sure that he isn’t from a noble family. Based on his performance, I really want him to join my Ziling Army. He’ll absolutely become somebody in the future with the strength he has shown.”
Wei Lingzhen couldn’t help smiling, “Brother Dongtu speaks highly of him. But in my view, he acted unscrupulously just now. He showed his capabilities. It seemed he cut a smart figure but actually he offended many people. His behaviors thereby appear to be too reckless.”
Du Dongtu said disapprovingly, “A teenager should have the courage and uprightness. If he had chosen to climb down just now, I would have definitely despised him.”
Wei Lingzhen now was certain that Du Dongtu really liked the teenager. He couldn’t help but smile, “What a pity! According to his temperament, I’m afraid that he wouldn’t join the army. In his eyes, signing up for the Nation Test is probably more attractive.”
Du Dongtu said while frowning, “If so, I can’t do anything.”
Wei Lingzhen said, “According to the intelligence I’ve got, there will be many preeminent practitioners attending the test. They aren’t inferior to him in terms of the strength.”
“Oh”, Du Dongtu replied to him. He asked with curiosity, “Who are they?”
Wei Lingzhen said, “Such as Shue Shaolin, Yu Wenjing, Le Zhiyou, and Yun Zitong. They all are the top-notch figures of the Human-gang Realm. There is another one called Liu Qianhuan, the youngest daughter of Liu Wujun, who is also outstanding.”
After a pause, he continued, “Rumor has it that Lian Fei, the son-in-law of Yao Tuohai, a great practitioner, is quite extraordinary, too. The above-mentioned ones are rising stars among the young generation. Besides, many powerful people remain to be discovered just like the boy. When the Province Test kicks off, you’ll probably find how many dark horses will stand out.”
Du Dongtu nodded his head, “When the test starts, I really hope they can widen my knowledge.”
Wei Lingzhen said with a smile, “Of course. Governor Liu Junwu is the chief examiner, and we two are the eyewitnesses. With the shape eyes of the three of us, we can absolutely select the real top-notch practitioners.”
...
Lin Xun didn’t know that he had already got attention from Wei Lingzhen, head of Mist College, and Du Dongtu, commander-in-chief of Ziling Army, before the registration for Province Test.
At the time, he came to the registration desk after having queued up, handed the State Test Certificate, and paid 10 imperial silver coins as the registration fee, thus, received a token as an emblem of attending the Province Test.
Then Lin Xun directly walked away without any delay.
The teacher in charge of distributing the tokens was a serious middle-aged man named Lyu Zizheng.
As watching Lin Xun leave, he took out the State Test Certificate Lin Xun had given him, looked at it carefully for a while, and put it away silently.
“Donglin Town, Lin Xun, 14 years old... I think it should be him.”
Having thought for a while, Lyu Zizheng asked another teacher to help handle the registration-related matters and then left in a hurry.
Thirty minutes later, before a magnificent palace in Mist City, Lyu Zizheng took out a letter and gave it to an old servant, guardian of the palace. “Give it to your master and tell him that the man he’s been waiting for shows up.”
Then, he turned around and left.
The letter was passed onto the owner of the palace a few moments later.
“Lin Xun! I didn’t expect he really shows up...”
The owner of the palace was a pretty girl. No sooner had she unfolded the letter, she
became cheerful.
“Susu, who did you say show up?”
On one side of the palace was a young man sitting cross-legged in meditation. He suddenly opened his eyes with cold light surging.
“It’s Lin Xun. He’s registered for the Province Test today!”
The girl waved the letter in her hand with exhilaration on her face, “Fei, you can eventually take you revenge.”
The young man promptly stood up and grabbed the letter. As he read it, he looked excited, with his face even a little twisted.
“Lin Xun, you finally show up after a whole year. It’s time to settle the old scores between us!”
He then tore the letter into pieces. The young man showed a hint of indelible hatred in his eyes.
If Lin Xun had been here, he would definitely recognize that the young man and the girl were exactly Lian Fei and Yao Susu!
