Chapter 93: Chapter 92: Human Race? Nothing Special!
Ranked eleventh on the Celestial Talents List!
This dazzling achievement set all the onlookers ablaze with excitement.
The Celestial Talents List of the Ancient Stone Carvings is composed of the most outstanding talents of millennia.
To be ranked eleventh is proof of Xuanqingzi’s prowess!
At this moment, not only the onlooking talents, but even the many elders of the Little Immortal Sect showed astonishment on their faces.
"An exotic body!"
On Cangyan Continent, besides the Sacred Body and the Divine Body, there is another special physique, known as the Exotic Body.
This physique is generally not as strong as the Sacred Body or Divine Body, but is extremely profound and terrifying in one aspect.
Two thousand years ago, a notorious bandit appeared in the Eastern Region, possessing the Exotic Body of ’Streamlight Illusionary Speed.’
Though his foundation was not strong and combat power weak, the terrifying speed he possessed left even those at the peak of Quasi-Emperor level in dismay during his King stage.
The existence of Exotic Bodies is rare and mysterious, with each having a vastly different attribute.
No one present expected to see an exotic talent in today’s Little Immortal Sect entrance examination.
"Heh, who would have thought there’d be an exotic body to hold the line."
The Great Peng King sneered and said, "This is your strongest talent here, I presume?"
"Unfortunately, eleventh on the Celestial Talents List is still not enough!"
At these words, many elders present turned grim.
Exotic Bodies are strong, but they still cannot match the ancient Sky Peng bloodline.
The talent of the Little Peng King is at least in the top ten!
Now, among the ranks of the top talents of Little Immortal Sect, only one remains, yet his aura is still mundane.
How could this one surpass the Little Peng King?
Even though begrudging, everyone let out a silent sigh.
"We’ve lost."
...
On the platform.
"Impressive, nearly made it into the top ten."
Seeing the returning Xuanqingzi, Su Changqing praised with a hint of jealousy.
He knew Xuanqingzi’s talent might be strong, but he didn’t expect it to be this formidable.
"It’s no use. With the Little Peng King’s qualifications, he will likely be at least top ten."
Xuanqingzi shook his head with a slight smile, showing no trace of worry on his face.
What a joke, his companion hasn’t even gone up yet.
While he didn’t know exactly where Su Changqing would rank, he was sure it would surpass the Little Peng King.
"Can’t win even this?"
Su Changqing glanced at the Little Peng King, frowning:
"This is troublesome. So many of us were really outdone by a demon race."
He bore no personal grudge with the Little Peng King, but naturally, he didn’t want the opposing race to win.
"Don’t worry, you’re still here."
Xuanqingzi laughed.
"Daoist, stop joking."
Su Changqing forced a smile, "I only ended up in this top talent circle by coincidence."
"Forget the top ten, I’d be satisfied just entering the sect smoothly."
It’s not that Su Changqing underestimated himself.
While climbing the Path to the Heavens, Zhou Yu and Fang Yi’s blazing speed already made him understand.
The gap between himself and the top talents was still substantial.
Xuanqingzi chuckled at his words.
"Take it easy."
He patted Su Changqing’s shoulder and comforted, "Go up with confidence, maybe a miracle will happen?"
"On our human race’s ground, can a demon race really run rampant?"
This casual encouragement from Xuanqingzi surprisingly made Su Changqing’s eyes light up.
This made sense!
On human territory, letting the demon race have their way?
Wouldn’t the people of Little Immortal Sect just stand by?
"Is it possible someone will assist me soon?"
Thinking of this, Su Changqing looked around, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Meanwhile, the admiration for the talents still resounded.
In their view, being ranked eleventh on the Celestial Talents List was a success.
But one sentence from the Little Peng King abruptly froze their smiles.
"Does ranking eleventh make you very proud?"
The Little Peng King’s sharp golden pupils radiated disdain,
"Even the ancient blessing has not fallen, where do you find the face to think you’ve won?"
At these words, the faces of everyone present changed.
Ranked eleventh on the Celestial Talents List is not enough?
Could it be that the other party is confident of a top ten ranking?
"We... only have one left."
A talent murmured aloud.
Everyone present looked over to see only Su Changqing, who exuded mundane aura, was left among the top talents yet to go on stage.
"Can he...rank in the top ten?"
Everyone shook their heads with a bitter smile. Even the Little Peng King found this hard to believe.
As reluctant as they were, at this moment it seemed they really had lost.
"Go on, give them some confidence."
Feeling the oppressive atmosphere, Xuanqingzi smiled at Su Changqing.
"Wait for me."
Su Changqing took a deep breath and walked forward.
But at this moment, a golden stream of light rapidly appeared before the stone carvings.
"Hmm?"
Su Changqing was stunned. He hadn’t tested yet, why did the Little Peng King go up?
Unknown to him, Xuanqingzi’s previous protection and Su Changqing’s mundane aura made the Little Peng King think Su Changqing was just Xuanqingzi’s follower.
Thus, after Xuanqingzi tested, the Little Peng King did not intend to wait.
"Open your eyes and watch!"
The Little Peng King’s sharp gaze swept the entire venue as he raised his hands toward the stone pillar’s peak, arrogantly stating:
"What truly defines a peerless talent!"
As his words fell, the Little Peng King placed a hand on the stone pillar.
Boom!
A sky-high golden light erupted, the phenomenon surpassing even Xuanqingzi’s test.
"Tweet!"
The primitive and ancient cry rang through the heavens and earth, and an indescribable wing spanning the sky descended from the firmament.
All were awestruck, looking up.
In the firmament above, a vast golden-winged roc soared high.
A ferocious, murderous aura that chilled the very soul made everyone gritting their teeth to withstand it.
"Ancient... Sky Peng!"
The Little Immortal Sect’s elder looked at the terrifying beast, his face full of gravity.
"Hahaha, see this! This is a peerless talent!"
The world was silent, only the Little Peng King’s wild laughter echoed across the land.
Boom!
The light of the scoring lines on the stone pillar began to rise rapidly, even quicker than Xuanqingzi’s earlier test.
Everyone present watched anxiously.
The Little Peng King’s results would determine whether they lost face today.
But soon, everyone grew pale.
In the blink of an eye, the measuring lines entered the Celestial Talents List, continuing onward.
Thirty!
Twenty!
Eleven!
In mere moments, the measuring lines caught up with Xuanqingzi’s rank.
"Stop!"
All the talents inwardly shouted in anger, veins bulging on their foreheads.
But the next moment...
Boom!
Ten thousand bright lights burst forth; the Little Peng King broke into the top ten, and the entire magnificent stone pillar shone brilliantly.
"I can do more! Keep going!"
The Little Peng King roared fiercely, and the immense Sky Peng behind him surged with endless gold light, crashing into the stalled measuring line!
...
Heaven and earth suddenly fell silent for a moment.
The once stagnant measuring line, nudged by the Sky Peng’s silhouette, gently moved forward once more.
And this slight advancement brought the change of... ninth position!
"Hahaha!"
The Little Peng King’s hair flared wildly, his arrogant laughter echoed through the heavens,
"Human race?"
"Merely so!"
