Sky Traversing Emperor - C26

Early morning. The sun was rising.

The gentle morning sunlight shone on Wu Yunfei’s body, instantly making him feel exceptionally comfortable, as if the haze from a few days ago had completely dissipated. Wu Yunfei loved this kind of sunny weather the most, no matter how gloomy his mood was, as long as he could see the clear sky, he would always be happy.

After a few days of adjustment, Wu Yunfei walked towards the direction of the Martial Arts Practice Grounds full of energy. Just as he crossed the lotus pond, Wu Yunfei saw that the Martial Arts Practice Grounds was already bustling with noise and excitement.

The entire martial arts practice field was divided into three areas: the viewing platform, the arena, and the central seating area. The viewing platforms were already filled with people, and all the Patriarchs of the Martial Families in the center of the stage were also gathered.

Wu Yunfei and the other disciples who were participating in the Family Competition all arrived at the small square in front of the arena.

In the noisy crowd, Wu Fan walked towards Wu Yunfei. Wu Fan’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise: “Ninth!” Wu Yunfei had actually come. It had been five years since he had last seen this guy at the Martial Arts Practice Grounds. It was truly a surprise that he had come today. More importantly, it was as if what happened that day did not affect him at all!

“Fifth brother I’m here!” Wu Yunfei patted Wu Fan’s shoulder and said with a smile.

“Ha, you think too much? Or was he trying to teach Wu Chen a lesson? “However …” Wu Fan looked at Wu Yunfei and then paused. He saw that Wu Yunfei acted as if nothing had happened, so he didn’t bring up the matter from that day again. He said, “But it doesn’t matter. I’ll help you teach that guy a lesson.”

Seeing Wu Fan’s straightforward smile, Wu Yunfei knew that Wu Fan was concerned about him, so he didn’t mention what had happened that day. Instead, he welcomed him with a smile and said, “No need. We don’t need Fifth Brother to deal with such a person.”

“You little rascal, you are quite ambitious, no wonder you are my ninth brother!” Wu Fan smacked his lips. This guy was crazy. Wu Chen was at the second level of the Profound Origin Stage.

Wu Yunfei? “You really came?” In the midst of the two, a figure clad in white walked up to them. It was Wu Chen.

“You, a defeated opponent, can come? Why can’t I come?” Looking at Wu Yunfei in front of him, Wu Yunfei was not courteous at all.

“How dare you, a scum of the martial arts family steal something!”

“Hmph, let’s see how long you can keep up!” Wu Chen said ruthlessly. Seeing that Wu Yunfei still had the same reckless tone, he said, “You better pray you don’t run into me, scum who’s trying to steal things. Otherwise, I’ll cripple you!”

“Anytime!”

While the two of them were busy scheming, the Martial Ancestor walked to the center of the stage. He was looking at the people on the stage with a majestic gaze. Soon after, he looked towards the middle-aged man sitting on the seat. The middle-aged man nodded his head and a slightly hoarse voice rang out, “Everyone be quiet!”

The crowd gradually quieted down. When the crowd quieted down, the Great Elder held the Martial Family’s ancestral worship ceremony as per usual. After the ancestral worship ceremony, he entered the main topic of the competition.

“Although the purpose of the Family Competition is different from before, the method is still the same. The competition will be conducted in a simple manner, but before that, there will be a test.”

“Before this martial arts competition begins, you will have to go through a test before you can participate in the Family Competition. After the selection, only sixty-four people will be able to participate.” The Great Elder stroked his beard as he spoke.

“Filter? Sixty-four people? ” No one seemed to understand. In the past, Profound Qi and Profound Qi were all at the Profound Origin Stage. As long as they met the age required, they would be eligible to participate in the competition by drawing lots.

“Everyone, please look!” The Head Elder pointed at the red cloth in the middle of the two arenas. With a wave of his hand, three strange stones appeared before everyone’s eyes, two of which were facing each other. Above the two stones was a floating stone, and between the three stones was a light blue glow.

“What is this?” Wu Yunfei looked at these three strange stones and could not help but ask Wu Fan beside him. Wu Fan shook his head. He saw the puzzled expression on Wu Fan’s face and then saw the curious expressions on everyone’s faces. It seemed that no one had seen it before.

“Naturally, no one has ever seen these three strange stones before. This is the potential testing stone that the Patriarch asked a master to build for the Wu Clan. It is used to test the potential of the disciples of the clan!” The hoarse voice said.

“According to the cultivator’s age and cultivation, the potential testing stone will determine the test value. The highest potential value is 10, so next, the test will begin. After the test, the competition will officially begin.”

“What are you testing me for? Why don’t you just start? Whoever is stronger will win. There’s no need to go through all this trouble.” Some people muttered in dissatisfaction.

The Great Elder did not take his dissatisfaction into consideration. The goal of this examination was to select disciples with good potential and focus on training them. As for the upcoming Family Competition, he would adjust the rules and directly announce the start of the exam. When I call out my name, you will come forward and take my test. ” The Great Elder shifted his gaze to a young man and said, “Wu Qin, you go ahead and take the test first.”

The young man in black standing behind Wu Zongren, the eldest uncle of Wu Yunfei, walked towards the platform without saying anything. This young man in black was the eldest son of Wu Yunfei, Wu Qin, 18 years old, at the fourth level of the Profound Origin Stage.

Wu Qin walked in front of the examination platform. With a calm expression, he glanced at the examination platform and stepped into the middle of the platform. A ray of light instantly fell on Wu Qin’s body and enveloped his entire body. “Nine!” It was actually nine!

The crowd was in an uproar. Wu Qin’s potential was actually nine. He was indeed the most talented person under the age of twenty in the Wu family. Wu Qin seemed to have already known the result. He smiled faintly and walked off the platform.

“Wu Qin, Potential Value, 9!” The Great Elder announced with a hoarse voice. He nodded to Wu Qin. This result was within his expectations.

The crowd went into an uproar again. Since young, everyone was eager to give it a try. If Wu Qin’s Potential Value was 9, then what would his Potential Value be? Looking at the examination platform in the middle, everyone’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

“Next, Wu Zhen!”

Wu Zhen was the grey-clothed youth who had a conflict with Wu Yunfei before the family meeting that day. Wu Zhen was currently at the third level of the Profound Origin Stage.

“Wu Zhen, how much do you think Wu Zhen will be?”

Wu Zhen is about the same age as Wu Qin, and his cultivation is also at the third level of the Profound Origin Stage. I heard that he has recently broken through to the fourth level of the Profound Origin Stage. A disciple of the martial arts family had his eyes set on him.

“How can Wu Zhen be compared with Wu Qin? With Wu Qin’s talent, he is one of the best in Black Jade Town. I think Wu Zhen would at most be eight!” The guy next to the one who was optimistic about Wu Zhen said. He was an admirer of Wu Qin.

“Why can’t we compete with Wu Zhen? Look at his Iron Fist Spirit, it is extremely overbearing. Although he was defeated by Wu Qin last year, Wu Zhen’s Iron Fist Spirit is not to be underestimated!”

After Wu Zhen stepped onto the stage, the stone inscription pattern lit up. “Eight!”

“Wu Zhen, Potential Growth Value, 8!” The grand elder immediately announced.

Wu Zhen looked at the word ‘eight’ with some dissatisfaction. However, a look of dissatisfaction flashed across his face as he said, “My potential is already eight, so there won’t be many people who can surpass me.” The corners of his mouth curled up in a smile.

Before Wu Zhen could return to his seat, the Great Elder announced the next test.

“Wu Chen, Potential Growth Value, 7!”

“Wu Fan, Potential Growth Value, 8!”

“Wu Jiao, Potential Growth Value, 6!”

“…”

Wu Yunfei looked at the constantly changing numbers on the stone and his face revealed a trace of nervousness. It had been five years and he had not made any progress and had only recently broken through.

“Wu Yunfei!”

Wu Yunfei’s heart trembled as he responded in agreement. Everyone looked towards Wu Yunfei in response to his voice.

This scum from the thief’s family actually came!

“What’s going on? This scum from the family can actually come?!”

“Exactly! The scum of the clan should not be here! ” Some of the martial family members started to clamor. They were very unsatisfied with Wu Yunfei’s appearance.

Of course, under Wu Zongren’s deterrence, these sounds gradually stopped. After all, the Clan Competition was more important, and he was just a thief. There was no need to pester him any further.

However, Wu Yunfei from five years ago had left a deep impression on the Wu family. Wu Yunfei was a genius of the Wu family and also the hope of the Wu family.

Wu Chen looked at Wu Yunfei in ridicule, as if it was a joyous thing to see a genius fall in the past. Many people also looked at the young man in front of them with the same lustful eyes.

He took a step towards the examination platform and seemed to be extremely disdainful of Wu Yunfei. He was just a scum of the family. With a dark expression, he shouted, “Quickly go up!”

Wu Yunfei took a deep breath and stepped into the middle of the three stones. The blue pillar of light fell on Wu Chen’s body. Wu Yunfei only felt a light energy coursing through his meridians and there seemed to be a trace of warmth.

Wu Yunfei raised his head to look at the stone. The stone had yet to react, and the Great Elder also revealed a trace of doubt. After a while, the stone’s patterns gradually lit up, and although it was slower than before, it was still within the normal range.

“Zero!” Veins began to appear, and a single word appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the number zero. Wu Yunfei’s potential value was actually zero!

Wu Yunfei was also stunned for a moment, but then he suddenly thought, it was impossible for a situation where there was zero. As long as one had a little bit of cultivation base, it would not be zero, unless they had no cultivation base at all!

“Could it be?!” The dark clouds in front of his chest were emitting a faint light. Wu Yunfei instantly understood what it meant, and then he calmed down in surprise. There was even a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth.

Humph! Zero Potential Value? Just you wait!

“Wu Yunfei, potential value, zero!” The Great Elder was stunned for a moment before he announced the result. The result was clear, Wu Yunfei’s cultivation had been crippled!

“It’s actually zero!” Wu Yunfei’s cultivation is gone! “
