Chapter 56

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became eerie, and everyone's gaze turned to Rong Kaixuan.

Wang Xiaoxiao's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Uncle Huang, it is I who has been guiding Junior Brother Kaixuan. His rash actions this time are partly my responsibility. Please forgive him, Uncle."

Rong Kaijie's eyes were cold and icy. He had not expected that Wang Xiaoxiao would take the initiative to defend someone and share the responsibility.

Huang Zixuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Xiao'er, I know you are protecting him. However, his actions are so reckless that they will surely lead to disaster in the future. Sigh..." He shook his head and said, "Rong Kaixuan, I thought that after two months of punishment, you would have learned to be more restrained. But I didn't expect you to become even more audacious, even daring to covet a first-grade superior talisman book." He let out a light snort and said, "I have decided to take back your jade token. From now on, you are not allowed to enter the scripture hall to read talisman books until you reach the late-stage Spirit Warrior."

A cold smile finally appeared on Rong Kaijie's face. He wanted to use various means to suppress Rong Kaixuan's status in the family. Once Rong Kaixuan's arrogant and self-important image was deeply ingrained in the minds of the family's strong figures, it would be difficult to change.

At that time, if this arrogant young man met with an accident and died, the number of people who would care would certainly decrease significantly.

Rong Kaixuan's gaze remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice, "Uncle Huang, you once said that if I could master all the first-grade inferior incantations, then regardless of my spiritual power cultivation, you would allow me to read the first-grade superior talisman books."

His words were not loud, but at this moment, they seemed as heavy as Mount Tai, shaking people to the core.

Huang Zixuan was taken aback. He looked at the composed young man in front of him with surprise. After a long while, he asked suspiciously, "You, have you already mastered all the first-grade inferior incantations?"

When he asked this question, his voice was filled with disbelief.

Rong Kaixuan bowed slightly and said, "Please, Uncle, test me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent, and no one spoke. Rong Kaijie's face showed surprise and a hint of panic beneath his forced calm.

Huang Zixuan looked at Rong Kaixuan seriously. After a long while, he nodded slowly and said, "Alright, let me see how well you have learned."

He waved his sleeve and turned to leave.

Since they were going to conduct an incantation test, it was impossible to do so inside the scripture hall.

Wang Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered, and she asked in a low voice, "Junior Brother Kaixuan, are you confident?"

Rong Kaixuan's face broke into a big smile, and he said, "Sister, please rest assured. Just watch."

He took large steps and followed Huang Zixuan.

The people in the hall looked at each other. Wang Xiaoxiao's mind raced, and she placed the talisman book on the table and silently walked out. Her action immediately caused a chain reaction, and the few Spirit Warriors who were reading talisman books there lost their focus and followed suit.

Not only that, the servants in the scripture hall were also unwilling to miss this great opportunity. As long as they could leave, they rushed to get a good view.

Moreover, this news spread like the wind within the Spirit Hall. Soon, over a hundred people had gathered in the trial hall behind the scripture hall.

Huang Zixuan's steps were not fast. He seemed to be deliberately delaying, waiting until more people received the news and arrived at the trial hall before he slowly entered.

The trial hall was a crucial place for Spirit Warriors to test their spiritual techniques and incantations. Generations of Spirit Warriors in the family had been tested here.

Looking at the many familiar and unfamiliar faces, Rong Kaixuan sighed inwardly. Human curiosity was indeed powerful.

There were no more than thirty Spirit Warriors in the Spirit Hall, but because of their different statuses, the number of servants and warriors here was ten times that.

At this moment, over a hundred people had gathered in the trial hall in a short time, which was quite a significant event.

Huang Zixuan turned and said coldly, "Rong Kaixuan, I will ask you one more time, have you mastered all the first-grade inferior incantations?"

Rong Kaixuan bowed deeply and said, "To Uncle, whatever I have learned, I have mastered."

"Wow..."

Immediately, a chorus of exclamations arose.

Everyone knew that in this situation, if anyone dared to speak falsely, they would lose all face and would never be able to hold their heads up again.

However, to believe that Rong Kaixuan, who had been cultivating spiritual power for less than half a year, could master all the first-grade inferior incantations... that seemed too much to ask.

Huang Zixuan's gaze flashed and swept over everyone's faces.

Immediately, everyone held their breath and dared not speak out of turn.

Although Huang Zixuan was not a family elder, his status as a Spirit Master gave him enough authority. In the Spirit Hall, few dared to challenge or act recklessly in front of him.

After a long while, Huang Zixuan withdrew his gaze and said slowly, "Rong Kaixuan, if you really have mastered all the first-grade inferior incantations, I will not go back on my word."

His tone softened, and compared to the beginning, he was almost gentle.

At this moment, his mind was not calm. If this young man really had mastered all the first-grade inferior incantations, then he was a genius beyond imagination.

Faced with such a person, no one could maintain a high and mighty attitude.

A hint of joy flashed across Rong Kaixuan's face, and he said, "Thank you, Uncle."

Huang Zixuan waved his hand and said, "You don't need to thank me. Whether you can achieve your wish depends on your own abilities." He then said in a deep voice, "Wood Spirit Power Bullet."

Rong Kaixuan responded, and he lightly tapped his finger. A point of light immediately shot out from his fingertip.

This point of light grew larger as it flew, instantly transforming into a sphere, with green threads swirling inside.

The light sphere moved extremely fast, instantly hitting a target thirty meters in front of Rong Kaixuan.

"Snap..."

The target shattered instantly, and the broken parts were entangled with green threads.

Huang Zixuan's expression changed, and he said in surprise, "You, have you already advanced to the mid-stage?"

Rong Kaixuan nodded and said, "Yes, I have advanced to the mid-stage Spirit Warrior."

Although the people around did not dare to speak out of turn again, their eyes betrayed their shock.

The Wood Spirit Power Bullet Rong Kaixuan had just released was not unusual. Even the servants who worked in the Spirit Hall had seen other Spirit Warriors use it.

However, for Rong Kaixuan to advance from an initial-stage Spirit Warrior to a mid-stage Spirit Warrior in less than half a year was astonishing.

Even Rong Kaijie, who was known as the first among the young generation of the Rong family, had taken a full year to make this step.

Huang Zixuan's gaze flickered, and he nodded slowly. At this moment, his surprise was mixed with a bit of anticipation.

To advance to this level in less than half a year, perhaps he really could create a miracle.

"Fire Spirit Power Bullet."

"Snap..."

A red light point shot out and instantly hit a target in the distance.

These targets were specially made by the family to test the power of incantations.

The moment the Fire Spirit Power Bullet hit the target, it shattered into pieces, and the debris immediately caught fire.

The knowledgeable Spirit Warriors' faces changed slightly. They all felt that the power contained in this Fire Spirit Power Bullet was extraordinary.

"Water Spirit Power Bullet."

"Earth Spirit Power Bullet."

"Metal Spirit Power Bullet."

As Huang Zixuan's voice continued, Rong Kaixuan released the corresponding incantations.

Starting with the simplest Spirit Power Bullets of each element, the difficulty gradually increased. No matter which of the five elements' basic incantations Huang Zixuan called out, Rong Kaixuan could immediately release them.

Just by looking at his ease and confidence, it was clear that he had reached a considerable level of proficiency with these incantations.

Huang Zixuan and the others became increasingly astonished, while a hint of killing intent appeared in Rong Kaijie's eyes.

This young man had such terrifying incantation talent. If he were left alive, wouldn't I be completely overshadowed?

"Kui Water Ripple."

A faint light appeared ten meters away from Rong Kaixuan, and then the familiar ripple spread out, filling the space with a dreamlike beauty.

"Phew..."

Huang Zixuan let out a long breath and suddenly stopped.

Rong Kaixuan was slightly stunned. There were dozens of first-grade inferior incantations in the scripture hall, and he had only performed less than half. Why did Uncle Huang suddenly stop?

After a moment, Huang Zixuan suddenly asked, "Kaixuan, besides the basic five-element incantations, do you know any other incantations?"

Rong Kaixuan's face turned slightly red, and he said, "Uncle, I have only learned the basic five-element incantations. As for the others..." He paused and said, "I will study them diligently in the future. Please, Uncle, give me more guidance."

Huang Zixuan's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he nodded slowly, saying, "Do what you can."

He had originally intended to scold the young man for not getting too cocky. Being too distracted was not a good thing.

However, thinking of the incantations Rong Kaixuan had just released, these words stuck in his throat. Although it was extremely uncomfortable, he couldn't bring himself to say them.

In just two months, he had mastered all the first-grade inferior incantations of the basic five elements. Whatever choices he made in the future were beyond Huang Zixuan's control.

Sighing, Huang Zixuan said, "Nephew Kaixuan, since you have done it, then..." He threw a jade token, and it landed in Rong Kaixuan's hand. "You can read all the talisman books on the first floor of the scripture hall."

Rong Kaixuan was overjoyed. He caressed the jade token in his hand and suddenly said, "Uncle, there are still some incantations I haven't demonstrated."

Huang Zixuan's facial muscles twitched a few times. He let out a light snort, waved his sleeve, and turned to leave.

Rong Kaixuan smiled innocently, but a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
