Chapter 84

The attention of everyone in the hall was drawn to the crystal sphere in Zhao Feng's hand.

Especially the white light ring inside the crystal sphere, after almost pausing, suddenly accelerated forward.

This change made everyone's hearts skip a beat.

Prince Guangjun's expression changed slightly, and he swallowed the words he was about to announce. Zhao Feng's change almost led him to a mistaken assessment.

After all, such a situation was indeed rare, and it was his first time seeing it.

Only Zhao Feng knew that under normal circumstances, his talent could not exceed two rings, making him inferior to all the geniuses here.

After all, the Heavenly Guard Camp gathered geniuses from all regions and cities, who were inherently superior to most geniuses in Yuyang City.

Moreover, the Ten Heavenly Guards were the best of the Heavenly Guard Camp, geniuses among geniuses.

Two and a half rings... three rings... three and a half rings...

Under the residual warmth of his left eye, the light ring inside the crystal sphere reached three and a half rings and continued to extend.

Three and a half rings... four rings... four and a half rings...

Many people in the hall held their breath.

Reaching four and a half rings was already the best talent among the Ten Heavenly Guards, excluding Feng Yinyue and Zhao Yufei.

After all, Feng Yinyue's talent was also at five rings.

Zhao Feng realized that five rings was a watershed.

However, after the white light ring reached four and a half rings, its momentum slowed down, and the pulsing of his left eye became steady.

Four and a half rings... five rings!

The fifth light ring extended inside the crystal sphere, appearing pale green and faint.

This was already the limit Zhao Feng could reach by concentrating.

Of course, this concentration did not mean activating his left eye.

Due to Prince Guangjun's presence, Zhao Feng did not dare to easily activate his left eye.

Zhao Feng had a hunch that if he activated his left eye, the light rings in the crystal sphere might continue to extend.

"The fifth ring is faint, slightly inferior to Feng Yinyue. This should be a semi-spiritual body."

Prince Guangjun's expression returned to normal, and he said with a slight pondering.

Clearly, Zhao Feng's talent, while second only to Feng Yinyue, did not bring any surprises to Prince Guangjun.

"Semi-spiritual body? It's not that impressive."

Beimo took back the crystal sphere from Zhao Feng, his eyes showing a hint of disappointment as he shook his head slightly.

Clearly, Zhao Feng's talent was slightly lower than he had estimated.

After all, the other party was a genius who could surpass him in memory, so Beimo had a higher estimation of Zhao Feng.

After Zhao Feng finished his test, all the Ten Heavenly Guards had completed their tests, and most of the young men were somewhat disheartened.

"Master, which ones do you plan to choose?"

The taciturn young man asked.

"These people are far from being qualified to become my personal disciples."

Prince Guangjun shook his head.

Until now, the only one who satisfied him and was accepted as a personal disciple was Beimo.

Upon hearing this, the Ten Heavenly Guards were all very depressed and felt bitter.

"However, the geniuses in this session of the Heavenly Guard Camp are indeed stronger than in the past. Among these ten, a few can be accepted as named disciples."

Prince Guangjun suddenly changed his tone.

Named disciples?

Feng Yinyue and others' eyes brightened.

Although becoming Prince Guangjun's personal disciples was unlikely, even being a named disciple was a wish that countless martial artists could not achieve.

Prince Guangjun, as the myth of martial prowess in Xiangyun Kingdom, was such a figure that even some martial masters could not meet him or seek his guidance.

If one could become a named disciple of Prince Guangjun, there would be a chance to receive his guidance, and seeking advice in person would no longer be a luxury.

Moreover, even top martial artists like Ye Lingyun and the taciturn young man were only named disciples of Prince Guangjun.

"Named disciples? Which ones will you choose, Master?"

Ye Lingyun asked.

"These two have the talent of a spiritual body, so there's no problem with them becoming my named disciples."

Prince Guangjun's gaze fell on Feng Yinyue and Zhao Yufei.

"What about Zhao Feng? He is the youngest, but his cultivation is high, his memory surpasses Beimo, and he achieved first place in the practical test..."

Ye Lingyun quickly said.

Zhao Feng was a genius he personally brought from Yuyang City, and he had high hopes for this young man.

"With his semi-spiritual body, it's a bit of a stretch..."

Prince Guangjun pondered slightly.

However, seeing that his disciples Ye Lingyun and the taciturn young man both highly recommended Zhao Feng, he smiled. "Alright, count him in. Taking three disciples at once also breaks my record."

With Prince Guangjun's final decision, Ye Lingyun and the taciturn young man breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhao Feng with smiles.

Zhao Feng also gave them a grateful look.

"Master, you won't regret taking him as a disciple in the future."

Ye Lingyun said confidently.

"Hmm?"

Prince Guangjun did not comment, not understanding where Ye Lingyun's confidence came from.

Ye Lingyun did not explain, but he recalled the subtle aura Zhao Feng emitted during the practice in the Zhao Clan's grand hall, something that most Ninth Rank experts could not achieve. At that time, Zhao Feng was only at the Fifth Rank of martial arts.

"Feng Yinyue, Zhao Yufei, Zhao Feng, from today on, you three will become named disciples of Lord Guangjun."

The taciturn young man announced.

Feng Yinyue and the others quickly performed the disciple ceremony to Prince Guangjun.

"Since you are only named disciples, there's no need for such formality."

Prince Guangjun smiled.

His gaze swept over Zhao Feng and the others, then finally rested on his personal disciple Beimo, revealing a hint of satisfaction and expectation.

Zhao Feng and the others understood that named disciples could only occasionally receive guidance from their master and would not inherit the true teachings.

Sometimes, named disciples were just a nominal title without substantial inheritance.

The person Prince Guangjun truly valued was his personal disciple Beimo, to whom he would impart all his knowledge.

After the disciple selection, the other seven disciples of the Ten Heavenly Guards left.

Soon, only Prince Guangjun and a few disciples remained in the grand hall.

Among them, Ye Lingyun and the taciturn young man left one after another due to their own affairs.

This left Beimo, Nangong Fan, Feng Yinyue, Zhao Yufei, and Zhao Feng in the grand hall.

"Today, you three have just become my disciples. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Prince Guangjun said.

Questions?

Feng Yinyue's face showed excitement, and Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei also showed some interest.

Facing the legendary figure at the peak of martial arts in Xiangyun Kingdom, they naturally had many questions to ask.

"Master, what is a spiritual body?"

Feng Yinyue asked first.

Spiritual body, ordinary body.

These were unfamiliar terms Zhao Feng had heard Prince Guangjun mention during his test.

"On this continent, with a population of billions, one's talent and physique are determined at birth. Among them, over ninety-nine percent of people are ordinary, with ordinary physiques, which we call 'ordinary body.'"

Prince Guangjun first explained the concept of "ordinary body."

After hearing this, Zhao Feng gained some insight.

Most people in the world have ordinary talent and physique, which is the "ordinary body."

For example, before integrating the mysterious left eye, Zhao Feng was definitely an ordinary body.

However, after integrating the mysterious left eye, his physique and bloodline were subtly transformed, allowing him to barely surpass the ordinary body and reach the semi-spiritual body level.

"Ordinary bodies are divided into: lower, middle, upper, and peak. This means that even among ordinary people, there are differences in talent and physique. In the test just now, one ring represents the lower level, two rings represent the middle level, and so on, with four rings representing the peak of the ordinary body..."

Prince Guangjun continued.

The content he mentioned was something Zhao Feng had never heard before.

Four rings represent the peak of the ordinary body, which is the talent Lei Zuo possessed.

"Exceeding four rings and reaching the fifth ring represents surpassing the peak of the ordinary body, which is the realm of the spiritual body. Spiritual bodies have a natural advantage in cultivation, with talent far surpassing ordinary people. Such geniuses, with the guidance of a master and diligent practice, will only be a matter of time before they break through to the Saint Realm of martial arts."

Prince Guangjun finally explained the concepts of "ordinary body" and "spiritual body."

This greatly broadened Zhao Feng's horizons.

He estimated that the top genius of the Zhao Clan, Zhao Long, was at most three and a half rings, with talent between the upper level and the peak of the ordinary body.

Next, Feng Yinyue and Zhao Yufei asked several questions to Prince Guangjun.

Among them, Zhao Yufei asked, "Master, is there a higher realm above the Saint Realm of martial arts?"

This question also piqued Zhao Feng's interest.

In the past, while in Yuyang City, they only knew that the Ninth Rank of martial arts was the peak, and the Saint Realm was a legend.

Now, facing Prince Guangjun, Zhao Feng estimated that his cultivation might have reached the Saint Realm.

So, was there a higher realm above the Saint Realm?

"Yes."

Prince Guangjun's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said solemnly, "But this is already a level beyond your reach..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng and the others were filled with anticipation.

Above the Saint Realm of martial arts, there was a higher realm, a level that even Prince Guangjun was reluctant to reveal.

After a while, it was Zhao Feng's turn to ask a question.

"In the Ninth Rank of martial arts, what should be the most important focus?"

Zhao Feng first asked a question about martial arts.

"The body is the most important. The purpose of the Ninth Rank of martial arts is to strengthen the flesh, bones, and organs. The true role of martial arts inner strength is not to kill enemies but to strengthen oneself. Many martial artists have gone astray on this point."

Prince Guangjun smiled.

Indeed, that was the case.

Zhao Feng affirmed his previous conclusion.

He was glad that he had chosen the "Silver Wall Technique" at the Saint Quality Building.

"Master, why do you seek and cultivate young geniuses from all over?"

Zhao Feng finally asked a question that had been on his mind.

When he first entered Guangling Prefecture, he heard that Prince Guangjun loved talent, especially young geniuses, and often sent people to search for geniuses.

He and Zhao Yufei were discovered by the Guangjun Guard and reported to Prince Guangjun, who was personally brought over by Master Ye Lingyun.

Zhao Feng's question made Prince Guangjun pause, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

For a moment, the entire grand hall seemed to be enveloped in an invisible pressure.

Zhao Feng and the others felt an intangible and formless pressure, making them tremble mentally.

Prince Guangjun did nothing, not even leaking a trace of aura, yet there was a mental pressure that made them feel uneasy.

Fortunately, this pressure was fleeting and very brief.

Even so, Feng Yinyue and the others broke out in cold sweat.

"Zhao Feng! What kind of question is this? It has nothing to do with cultivation. Master gathers geniuses from all over because he loves talent. Do you think Master has some ulterior motive?"

Nangong Fan's face showed anger, and he shouted in surprise.
