Chapter 23
“You’ve pa.s.sed the first test!”
The monitoring elder on the stage was stunned for a moment before announcing the results.
Mu Qingxue was definitely ranked first among all the disciples who had partic.i.p.ated in the outer sect trials in the past hundred years given the extraordinary strength she showed in the first test!
“It’s a pity that your const.i.tution hasn’t been awakened. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be difficult for you to enter the Forbidden Stage.”
The voice in Mu Qingxue’s mind said regretfully.
With her help, Mu Qingxue had long been in the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm and was only one step away from the real Forbidden Stage.
However, because Mu Qingxue’s const.i.tution could not be fully awakened in a short period of time, she could not overcome that hurdle.
“Master, I’m already very satisfied with my current achievement.”
Mu Qingxue seemed to sense the regret in her master’s tone and quickly replied in her mind.
“Haha, as the chosen one, your horizons shouldn’t be limited to this little achievement. Only when your const.i.tution is completely awakened will you truly shock the world. The flaws left behind in the Qi Gathering Realm will have a chance to be made up for in the future! At that time, not to mention the East Barrens, even the center of this world, the Central Plains, will shine because of you!”
The old voice in Mu Qingxue’s mind chuckled, the tone filled with pride.
The commotion among the outer sect disciples continued. Mu Qingxue slowly walked out of the second formation.
The 30 puppets that Lu Zhen had defeated had also recovered.
The moment Mu Qingxue stepped into the formation, they turned into flashing afterimages and attacked together.
The 30 puppets stood in a very special position. Their cooperation produced immense fighting power.
Mu Qingxue held the aqua-blue sword in her hand. Her heart was as calm as still water as she stood quietly on the spot.
Her light blue eyes slowly swept across the attacks from the puppets in all directions.
In the next moment.
Her figure suddenly became erratic like a falling leaf drifting in the wind.
She was also agile in her movements.
“The yellow-level upper-rank Phantom Moon!”
“The yellow-level upper-rank Phantom Moon again, and it’s also the grand attainment!”
A disciple immediately recognized Mu Qingxue’s movement technique and exclaimed.
This was an inner sect disciple who came to watch the show.
As soon as he finished speaking, it instantly caused an uproar among the surrounding large group of outer sect disciples.
“It looks like her movement technique has already reached the gand attainment and can break through to perfection at any time!”
Elder Xie looked at Mu Qingxue and commented.
At this moment, Mu Qingxue’s fighting power was almost on par with a demon who had stepped into the Forbidden Stage.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The aqua-blue longsword, wrapped by her spiritual energy, pierced through the air with countless rays of light.
Mu Qingxue began to display her martial arts.
“Cold Moon Sword!”
“Mystery Light Sword!”
“Winter Frost Sword!”
“Rainbow Sword!”
…
Mu Qingxue displayed a different martial art every time.
With every slash, a few puppets would fall to the ground, causing waves of exclamations.
“It requires great proficiency!”
“Hiss! She has cultivated all these four martial arts to perfection!”
“She has released all the power that a martial art should have!”
“So scary! Where did she get so much energy? Not only is she terrifyingly powerful in cultivation, but she is also extremely skilled in martial arts!”
“Talent! She is so talented! Otherwise, it is impossible for her to cultivate so many martial arts to perfection!”
…
Exclamations rose and fell, and even the few elders outside the arena could not help but be shocked.
All the martial arts that Mu Qingxue performed were the yellow-level middle-rank martial arts, and without exception, she had cultivated all of them to perfection!
When a cultivator cultivated a martial art, according to the level of proficiency, it was generally divided into the Introductory Level, small attainment, grand attainment, and perfection four levels.
It was very difficult for most Level Nine Qi Gathering Realm cultivators to cultivate a yellow-level middle-rank martial art to perfection.
Liu Yang, who was called a genius by many outer sect disciples, had only achieved grand attainment of the yellow-level middle-rank Sky Breaking Sword.
Lu Zhen, who was even more powerful than Liu Yang, had not cultivated any of his martial arts to perfection, but only achieved grand attainments.
However, whether it was Liu Yang or Lu Zhen, they were far inferior to Mu Qingxue.
The puppets fell to the ground one after another.
In just two and a half minutes, all thirty puppets had been knocked out of action.
The time she took was not even half of Lu Zhen’s!
Mu Qingxue sheathed her sword and stood where she was. Her breathing was steady and her expression was normal.
“She… How many martial arts has she cultivated to perfection?”
An outer sect disciple looked at Mu Qingxue, who was standing upright among the puppets, and took a hard swallow as he asked.
“Six!”
Not far away, the disciple who had run out of the inner sect to watch the show replied with a solemn expression.
“Six yellow-level middle-rank martial arts! And a yellow-level upper-rank martial art that has been cultivated to perfection! Moreover, these are just what she has displayed. Who knows if she held back?”
The inner sect disciple added.
Although he was an inner sect disciple, he was much weaker than Mu Qingxue.
Such a genius would most likely be taken in as a personal disciple by the elders after entering the inner sect.
“Senior Sister Mu Qingxue is so valiant!”
“She’s really powerful, her performance absolutely outshines those of Senior Brother Liu Yang and Senior Brother Lu Zhen!”
“Though you’ve argued for so long, I think the number one person in the outer sect should be Senior Sister Mu Qingxue!”
“That’s right! Senior Sister Mu Qingxue is undoubtedly the number one person in the outer sect!”
“Lu Zhen and Su Chen have to step aside!”
“I’m willing to respectfully call Senior Sister Mu Qingxue the number one person in the outer sect! With her strength, she is truly the number one person in the outer sect!”
The outer sect disciples shouted excitedly.
“Is this her true strength?”
Elder w.a.n.g’s face darkened, and he looked at Elder Li with an unfriendly gaze.
“Cough cough cough…”
“She had hidden it from me for a long time, and I only found out not long ago.”
…
Elder Li said helplessly.
In fact, he was already overjoyed.
He also misjudged Mu Qingxue’s talent at the beginning.
He knew that Mu Qingxue was a genius, but he did not know that she was so incredibly powerful!
Unintentionally he discovered Mu Qingxue’s true strength.
“Perfection of six yellow-level middle-rank martial arts!”
Elder w.a.n.g gritted his teeth and said word by word.
Although he felt bad, he knew that he had completely lost!
Mu Qingxue could cultivate six yellow-level middle-rank martial arts to perfection.
Her talent was unquestionable, and it was not worth doubting!
A cultivator’s energy was limited. It was impossible to cultivate so many martial arts to perfection with just hard work.
Only a powerful talent could do that!
“Anyway, there is another demon in the outer sect now,” Elder w.a.n.g sighed helplessly and said slowly.
Why wasn’t he the first to discover Mu Qingxue’s talent?
Mu Qingxue was above Lu Zhen no matter in terms of cultivation or strength.
The next talent test would naturally have no suspense.
