Chapter 29: Proud Liu Tianyao

Elder Three waved his hand, signaling that Chu Jianqiu didn't need to be so formal.

"Liu Shuxi, you are the respected head of the Liu family, yet you actually attack a young junior. Do you have any shame at all!" Facing Liu Shuxi's aggressive stance, Elder Three responded calmly.

Elder Three didn't think Chu Jianqiu was rash for striking Liu Gaoyang. If Chu Jianqiu had endured such provocation, it would have disappointed him.

After all, Chu Jianqiu was the esteemed young master of the Chu family; he couldn't just let anyone humiliate him.

Although he, Chu Hongxuan, wasn't a match for Liu Shuxi, if the two were to fight, it would inevitably lead to a war between the Chu and Liu families. Although the Chu family's strength had slightly diminished due to the disappearance of its patriarch, Chu Xiangtian, if the two families were to engage in battle, even if the Chu family might suffer significant losses, the Liu family wouldn't fare much better. Liu Shuxi wouldn't start a war over such a trivial matter.

"Alright, let's drop it. Continue with the test as usual," Luo Xiuyong said impatiently, waving his hand.

He had no good feelings about Liu Gaoyang's unauthorized interference. The waste of a person had almost misled his judgment of Chu Jianqiu. If he had acted against Chu Jianqiu just now, it would have been a major embarrassment.

Liu Shuxi was about to say something harsh, but seeing Luo Xiuyong speak, he didn't dare to defy him and could only grit his teeth and have someone carry Liu Gaoyang away for treatment. Fortunately, the Chu family's young thief hadn't struck too hard; otherwise, he would have really fought to the death with the Chu family.

Liu Tianyao gave Chu Jianqiu a cold glance and said coldly, "Chu Jianqiu, you wait and see!" With that, she walked to the testing stone to begin her test.

Chu Jianqiu's public injury to her brother had made the Liu family lose face. Once she became a disciple of the Xuanjian Sect, she would never let the Chu family off.

The crowd was greatly surprised that Chu Jianqiu had recovered to the Ninth Level of the Body Tempering stage, and the mocking voices instantly diminished.

Liu Tianyao placed her hand on the testing stone, which immediately burst into a bright light.

"Liu Tianyao, 16 years old; Realm: First Level of True Qi; Meridians Unblocked: 12; Bloodline: Middle Rank of the Mystic Level; Talent: Middle Rank of the Mystic Level."

Seeing the golden words on the testing stone, the crowd below instantly erupted.

"Wow, it's actually a Middle Rank Mystic Bloodline and a Middle Rank Mystic Talent, and she has already reached the First Level of True Qi at such a young age."

"Goddess, she truly lives up to being my goddess."

"This is what a genius looks like, a true genius. She doesn't show off her abilities, but when the time comes, she shocks everyone. Unlike that so-called first genius of Tian Shui City, who is just a fraud."

Liu Shuxi looked at the scene with a smug expression.

"Head of the Liu family, congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

The families of Tian Shui City all congratulated Liu Shuxi.

Luo Xiuyong looked at the results on the testing stone, his eyes shining with satisfaction. Finally, a decent talent had appeared.

With such a talent, this trip back to the sect wouldn't be too embarrassing.

Liu Tianyao listened to the crowd's cheers, her beautiful eyes filled with pride. She glanced at Chu Jianqiu beside her, feeling extremely smug. Even if you have recovered to the Ninth Level of Body Tempering, how can you compare to me? From today on, I am destined to be the one you will look up to for the rest of your life.

The elders of the Chu family looked at the results with a serious expression, not expecting Liu Tianyao to be so talented. If Liu Tianyao became an inner disciple of the Xuanjian Sect, given the current tense relationship between the Chu and Liu families, the Chu family's situation would be very difficult.

After Liu Tianyao finished her test, Ouyang Yuan calmly stepped forward and placed his hand on the testing stone.

Instantly, the testing stone burst into a light ten times brighter than before, almost blinding everyone.

"Ouyang Yuan, 17 years old; Realm: Sixth Level of True Qi; Meridians Unblocked: 15; Bloodline: Upper Rank of the Earth Level; Talent: Middle Rank of the Earth Level."

Seeing the bright golden words on the testing stone, the entire venue fell silent.

The venue was filled with an eerie silence.

Everyone was processing the shock Ouyang Yuan had brought them.

Luo Xiuyong also stood up suddenly, his eyes full of shock.

A monster, a true monster.

Even in the Xuanjian Sect, there weren't many Earth Level bloodline warriors.

Moreover, he had unblocked 15 meridians, meaning he had unblocked three of the eight extraordinary meridians.

As long as Ouyang Yuan entered the Xuanjian Sect, he would undoubtedly become another world-class powerhouse for the sect.

This trip to Tian Shui County was truly a great gain.

Even the elders sent to the other eight counties might not be able to recruit an Earth Level bloodline warrior.

An Earth Level bloodline and an Earth Level talent, these hadn't appeared in Tian Shui County for nearly a hundred years.

The silence in the venue lasted for an unknown amount of time.

Suddenly, a cheer rang out from the crowd.

Then, the entire venue's atmosphere exploded.

"Wow, an Earth Level bloodline and an Earth Level talent, this is the true first genius of Tian Shui City, and the first genius of Tian Shui City in a hundred years."

"At 17, he has already cultivated to the Sixth Level of True Qi. Truly worthy of an Upper Rank Earth Level bloodline!"

"Our Tian Shui County is finally going to produce a world-class powerhouse!"

Everyone cheered and celebrated.

Everyone had completely forgotten about Chu Jianqiu.

Luo Xiuyong stood up, walked onto the platform, stroked his beard, and said contentedly, "The test is over here!" With Ouyang Yuan and Liu Tianyao, this recruitment was a great success, and there was no need to continue the test.

"Senior Luo, I haven't been tested yet!" Chu Jianqiu looked at Luo Xiuyong seriously.

Luo Xiuyong glanced at Chu Jianqiu, frowning. This guy had a low cultivation level and was late, which he didn't like.

With Liu Tianyao and Ouyang Yuan already tested, a Ninth Level Body Tempering warrior was no longer impressive to him.

"Ha, look at that waste of a person, still wanting to be tested. What a disgrace."

"This waste of a person really doesn't know his place. Does he think he can compare to Young Master Ouyang?"

"Get lost, waste of a person, don't stand there and be an eyesore."

"This waste of a person is disgracing our Tian Shui County!"

The crowd below was filled with insults.

"Chu Jianqiu, don't struggle in vain. You and we are destined to be from two different worlds!" Liu Tianyao looked at Chu Jianqiu with a haughty expression, her eyes full of disdain and mockery.

"Yao'er, why waste your breath on this waste of a person? Even speaking to him would taint our dignity. Since he likes to humiliate himself, let him be," Ouyang Yuan stroked Liu Tianyao's hair and smiled, not even glancing at Chu Jianqiu.

Seeing Chu Jianqiu remain calm amidst the insults and mockery, Luo Xiuyong found his composure commendable.

He was in a good mood after recruiting Ouyang Yuan and Liu Tianyao. Since Chu Jianqiu insisted, why not let him test? It would help him to finally give up.

"Chu Jianqiu, you can proceed with the test."
