Chapter 79

"Th...is..." Staring at the green light, Situ Yu felt a great sense of disappointment. No matter how he thought about it, he could not believe that with his potential, he would only have a meager talent.

As for such a result, although the few elders did not show great joy, they also did not show disappointment, maintaining a rather calm demeanor. They said in a deep voice, "Meager talent, next."

After that, the other members of the Wing Alliance took turns to undergo the test. Although they all activated the green light, the intensity varied, and none of them had as strong a glow as Situ Yu.

Seeing this, Situ Yu secretly rejoiced. This at least indicated that in terms of talent, he was superior to some people. However, the expressions of the six elders became more somber, clearly showing their dissatisfaction.

"Meager talent, next."

Finally, it was Su Mei's turn. After the results of the previous people, Su Mei had lost her confidence. With a nervous heart, she hesitantly extended her white hand. If one looked closely, one could even see her hand trembling slightly.

In fact, after Su Mei stepped forward, the expressions of the six elders also became more serious. After all, Su Mei was Su Rou's younger sister, and Su Rou, as a core disciple, was widely recognized as a genius. Therefore, the six elders had high expectations for Su Mei.

"Hum" A thread of spiritual energy entered, and the yellow part emitted a brilliant light.

At this moment, Su Mei's nervousness instantly subsided, replaced by immense joy. Her smile clearly showed how happy she was.

"Not bad, average talent, and such a strong glow. It seems your martial talent is even better than your sister's."

After so many people with mediocre or even extremely poor talents, Su Mei's performance undoubtedly made everyone sit up and take notice. The six elders all nodded in approval, and for the first time, a satisfied smile appeared on their faces.

Even Situ Yu and the others were amazed by Su Mei's talent. However, after their amazement, they all turned their gaze to Chu Feng.

They were all very eager to see what kind of talent this young man, who had just entered the inner sect and was now participating in the core disciple examination, would have. Would he be like Su Mei, or could he create another legend like Zhang Tianyi and Gong Luyun?

As for Chu Feng, he was equally confident. He walked gracefully to the testing stone, placed his powerful hand on it, and with a thought, a thread of spiritual energy was channeled into it.

As the spiritual energy entered, everyone could feel the testing stone vibrating. However, after the vibration, the result was shocking.

There was no light at all, not even the green part, which was the weakest, reacted. Chu Feng's spiritual energy failed to activate any light.

"Hum, hum"

Faced with this strange situation, Chu Feng's brows furrowed, and he poured in two more threads of spiritual energy, but the result was the same: no light from any part.

"Damn, what's going on?" Chu Feng was speechless. Could his talent be so poor that he couldn't even activate the weakest green part?

"Th...is..."

Not just Chu Feng, even Su Mei, Situ Yu, and the others, who had great confidence in Chu Feng, were greatly surprised. Chu Feng's demonstrated strength had already proven his martial talent, so why was the result like this now?

"Such strength, such talent, and you can still pass the examination? It seems you used special means, didn't you?" The old woman sneered at Chu Feng.

"What do you mean by that?" Chu Feng was somewhat angry upon hearing this.

"Hmph, don't tell me you don't know what I mean?" The old woman coldly snorted.

"You..."

"Chu Feng!"

Chu Feng was about to retort but was stopped by Su Mei. These core elders were not like the inner sect elders; even she had to show great respect, and they were not people Chu Feng could offend casually.

Chu Feng was not a fool and understood Su Mei's meaning. Despite his extreme dissatisfaction, he still held back, knowing that he had to endure. After all, he couldn't even activate the testing stone, and his cultivation level indeed made it easy for others to doubt him.

"Forget it, what's the point of talking to him? In the end, it all comes down to strength. Without a certain level of strength, even if you become a core disciple, you will only be trampled on and will never achieve greatness."

The other elders also looked at Chu Feng with disdain, even a hint of anger, clearly believing that Chu Feng had not come here through his own strength.

"Old Li, you've seen the results of the tests. Take care of these children."

The six elders got up to leave but did not forget to give Su Mei a parting word:

"Su Mei, we have high hopes for you. We hope you can be as outstanding as your sister. But when it comes to making friends, you must be careful, or it might ruin your future."

Watching the six elders leave, Chu Feng's inner anger surged, but he ultimately held back, knowing he had to endure. Challenging someone he couldn't defeat was an irrational act.

"Chu Feng, it's a good thing you didn't lose your temper. Those six are the six elders who protect our Azure Dragon Sect, each a Xuanwu Realm expert," Su Mei quietly reminded him after the six elders left.

"Hehe, congratulations to all of you for becoming core disciples. Follow me to receive your items," a hoarse voice came from a corner of the hall.

It was then that Chu Feng and the others noticed an old man standing there.

This old man had very sparse, wispy white hair, almost bald, and his face was covered in wrinkles. His back was hunched, giving the impression of a man on the verge of death, even somewhat frightening.

However, Chu Feng did not dare to underestimate this old man. He noticed that the old man's aura was no less than that of the six elders. If the six were Xuanwu Realm experts, then this old man was likely also a Xuanwu Realm expert.

Under the old man's guidance, Chu Feng and the others changed into the blue robes of core disciples and each received a token and a large banner.

The token represented their status as core disciples, and on the back of the token was the address of their residence in the core area. The banner was something they needed to take back to their families.

This banner was the symbol of the Azure Dragon Sect, and only those protected by the Azure Dragon Sect could receive such a banner. People called it the Azure Dragon Banner.

After receiving their items as core disciples, Chu Feng and the others left the hall and headed to the core area they had longed for. The old man, referred to as Old Li by the six elders, slowly walked to the testing stone and began to examine it.

"Strange, from what I saw of that boy in the Azure Dragon Garden, he should be a genius. How could he not even have a meager talent?"

The old man carefully observed, trying to find some reason, but found nothing wrong. It was only when he looked at the top of the testing stone that his eyes suddenly lit up, and his expression changed dramatically.
