Chapter 8

This man had a handsome face, with wide sleeves fluttering as he walked, exuding a transcendent aura that easily won people's favor.

He gently waved his hand, and the middle-aged man who had brought Rong Kexiong immediately quietly retreated.

"Hehe, you're Rong Kexiong, right?"

"Yes," Rong Kexiong replied, feeling uneasy.

The man gently waved his hand and said, "No need to be nervous. I am Rong Yiyao, the spirit master on duty this month at the Spirit Hall. You can call me Uncle Yao or Master Uncle."

Rong Kexiong quickly said, "Nephew greets Uncle Yao."

Rong Yiyao nodded in satisfaction and said, "I heard that you were tested in the Gold Testing Hall and showed the talent of a spirit user. That's great. Although our Rong family has many warriors, the number of spirit users has always been small. This vast Spirit Hall, even including the spirit users we have recruited from other families, has fewer than thirty people."

Rong Kexiong's eyes widened in surprise. When he came in, he had seen the vast expanse of the Spirit Hall, which could be described as a city within a city.

Such a place could easily house tens of thousands of people.

However, the man in front of him said that there were fewer than thirty spirit users here. Even including servants and family members, it seemed too luxurious to have so few people living in such a large place.

Rong Yiyao smiled slightly and said, "Follow me, let me see how your spirit user potential is."

After saying that, he turned and walked away. Rong Kexiong did not dare to be slow and followed closely behind.

After a short while, they arrived at a courtyard. This courtyard was several acres in size, with some common wild grasses planted in it.

Rong Yiyao stopped and said, "Kexiong, can you tell what's different about this place compared to the outside world?"

Rong Kexiong was taken aback. He looked around for a while and then shook his head, "Uncle Yao, I don't see any difference."

Rong Yiyao's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it and said, "It's not much, just that the spiritual energy here is more concentrated than outside, making it very suitable for testing one's spiritual potential." He continued slowly, "Now, calm your mind and sense the surroundings, and see if you can attract spiritual energy to your body."

Rong Kexiong scratched his head, puzzled, and said, "Uncle Yao, how do I attract spiritual energy to my body?"

Rong Yiyao laughed, "It's very simple, just like this."

His face remained smiling, but a bright light suddenly appeared around him, with tiny white lights swirling around him like countless fireflies dancing.

Rong Kexiong's expression changed slightly. If this scene were seen by an ordinary person, it would seem profound and mysterious. However, Rong Kexiong easily sensed the subtleties.

Perhaps because of the mysterious energy in his forehead, Rong Kexiong noticed that there was a kind of magical energy around Rong Yiyao. This energy emitted a strange force, attracting something from the surrounding space. Once these things approached his body, they immediately emitted a white light, illuminating the surroundings.

Rong Yiyao smiled and said, "Just do it like that, give it a try."

When he said this, he didn't really have much hope.

Even if someone has the potential to be a spirit user, their untrained mental power is often not well-matched with the natural spiritual energy of the outside world.

Therefore, as long as Rong Kexiong could attract a tiny bit of spiritual energy to gather around him, Rong Yiyao would recognize his potential.

Rong Kexiong nodded heavily and took a deep breath.

After two tests and the experiences along the way, he understood that this test was crucial for him and he must not be careless.

His mind slightly moved, and the energy flow in his forehead surged.

Threads of energy began to spread out from his forehead. This energy had existed in his forehead for a few days and could be controlled according to his will.

At this moment, Rong Kexiong silently focused his mind.

Attract, bring those forces over.

As if receiving his command, the steady energy flow began to fluctuate violently. In the next moment, the spiritual energy in the void surged, and the external energy rushed toward Rong Kexiong like a tide. In just an instant, a small vortex of spiritual energy formed around him.

Countless light points lit up around Rong Kexiong, gathering together like a large light bulb, emitting a dazzling light.

Rong Kexiong's eyelids twitched several times. Although he had released the power of the energy flow from his forehead before, even using it to create a humanoid creature, this was the first time this energy had come into contact with the natural spiritual energy of the outside world.

Suddenly, the light points that had gathered around Rong Kexiong turned into a white light stream, rushing into his body.

Rong Kexiong was greatly alarmed. He let out a strange cry, immediately abandoning his thoughts and issuing a command to the energy flow to repel the external spiritual energy.

Unfortunately, his reaction was a bit slow. In that brief moment, a large amount of white light had already entered his body... or rather, into the center of his forehead.

This shock was no small matter, and Rong Kexiong was almost frightened out of his wits.

However, after his experience of encountering a tiger in the mountains, Rong Kexiong's courage had far exceeded his age.

In just a moment, he calmed down.

His mind probed into his forehead, and he discovered something extremely strange.

In his forehead, there was still a flow of energy. However, Rong Kexiong clearly knew that this flow of energy was not the same as the one that had previously remained in his forehead.

This energy seemed to have transformed from the spiritual energy that had been absorbed into his body, while the original energy flow had disappeared without a trace.

Startled, his divine sense searched around.

Almost immediately, he discovered that in addition to the energy flow transformed from the spiritual energy, there was something extraordinary in his forehead.

It was a small, colorless sphere, about the size of a raspberry seed.

This sphere was at the center of the energy flow, acting like a pump, continuously absorbing and releasing the spiritual energy flow in his forehead.

As it repeated this process, the energy flow in his forehead began to flow in a regular pattern.

Previously, although there was an unusual energy flow in his forehead, it was like stagnant water, remaining still unless Rong Kexiong used his mind to control it.

But now, the original energy flow had been replaced by the new energy flow transformed from the spiritual energy, and the mysterious energy flow had condensed into a sphere.

The sphere and the spiritual energy flow worked together, giving the energy flow in his forehead a vibrant and lively quality.

His eyebrows twitched slightly, and then he opened his eyes.

Although the process seemed long when described, from the moment the spiritual light entered and formed a new energy flow, to the moment he probed with his mind and discovered the change, it was just an instant.

However, what startled him was that when he opened his eyes, he saw Rong Yiyao with a stunned expression, as if he had seen a ghost.

He cleared his throat and quickly said, "Uncle Yao, do you think I'm okay?"

Rong Yiyao "ah"ed a couple of times, as if waking from a dream, and said, "Yes, you're okay."

He was not an ordinary person and quickly recovered from his shock. Looking at the boy in front of him, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Kexiong, when did you discover you had the potential to be a spirit user?"

"Today," Rong Kexiong answered honestly.

"Today." Rong Yiyao's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Kexiong, have you ever practiced spiritual energy before?"

"No," Rong Kexiong shook his head.

Rong Yiyao nodded slowly. As an experienced spirit user, he could see a hint of something. If this boy had practiced spiritual energy before, he would not have shown such panic when the spiritual energy entered his body. However, could someone create such a significant scene on their first attempt to gather spiritual energy?

He laughed bitterly and asked involuntarily, "Then how did you manage to gather the spiritual energy just now?"

Rong Kexiong scratched his head and said, "Isn't it just about attracting the external forces? You said it was simple." He paused, nodded heavily, and added, "It is indeed quite simple."

Rong Yiyao's mouth opened wide, and he was speechless for a moment. He suddenly realized that he had nothing more to say.

Attracting spiritual energy to gather around the body and incorporating it into one's own power is the first step in the cultivation of spirit users.

This step is indeed very simple for spirit users. However, from the day a person with the potential to be a spirit user is identified to the day they successfully gather their first strand of spiritual energy, it usually takes at least ten to several dozen days of hard practice.

Those who can gather spiritual energy in ten days are already considered geniuses among spirit users.

So, Rong Kexiong, who had never practiced spiritual energy before, managed to achieve such a remarkable effect on his first attempt to gather spiritual energy and successfully incorporated it into his body.

Isn't this guy more of a genius than a genius?

Looking at Rong Kexiong's young face, two words suddenly flashed in his mind.

Monster.

Perhaps only this term could explain today's events.

Sighing, Rong Yiyao said, "Kexiong, since you have this potential, you should report it directly to the clan elders."

Rong Kexiong blinked his eyes, thinking to himself.

We were originally here to see the clan elders, but we were blocked by someone.

However, considering that the middle-aged man had been quite respectful to him, he didn't want to argue further.

Rong Yiyao extended his hand and said, "Kexiong, you're lucky. Elder Jie Xuan is in the Spirit Hall. He is a very important figure in our Rong family. If you can become his disciple, your future will be boundless." He added silently, "If Elder Jie Xuan can take you, a monster, as his disciple, his future will also be boundless."
