Godly Base

396 – Flattery

Xuanwu World is an extraordinary world with all sorts of miraculous features.

When Zen Master Wuxin of the Asura Temple, ranked 3rd on the Top 10 Experts of the World list compiled by the Great Song Empire, was born, golden lotuses dropped from the sky.

After he was born, he was able to walk at half a month, he was able to speak at a month, and was able to read at a year of age. After he reached eight years of age, the previous leader of the Asura Temple, Zen Master Yuande, admitted him into the Asura Temple.

After the passing of Zen Master Yuande, Heart Eater Demon Hetu of the 10 Great Demons went to the Asura Temple to slaughter the base of his great enemy.

At only 20 years old, the then obscure Zen Master Wuxin stepped in, suppressed the Heart Eater Demon Hetu, and twisted his head off, gaining great notoriety in one go! He became the youngest Martial Saint of Xuanwu World!

For a powerhouse like Shu Feng, who only possesses Martial Practitioner realm cultivation base, to be able to easily lift a 5,000 kilogram stone dumbbell, he must possess innate divine strength and exceptional talent.

Zhao Tian asked urgently, “What’s your name? Which family do you come from?”

Shu Feng answered, “My name is Han Feng, a beggar from Guangliu City.”

Ning Chen was taken aback, and then a sense of superiority welled up inside him, “A beggar! He’s a beggar?”

Yuan Ling’er’s beautiful eyes flickered with a shade of contempt: “It turns out he’s a beggar!”

Zhao Tian furrowed his eyebrows, and his gaze landed on the set of brocade clothes Shu Feng was wearing. The set of white brocade clothes is definitely not something a beggar could afford.

Shu Feng was very calm and spoke according to Mad Dog’s manner of speech: “There was a beggar called Black Tiger who wanted me dead, so I killed him instead. I robbed him of his money and bought this set of clothes. I wish to join the Green Jade Demonic Sect to cultivate superior martial arts, change my fate, and enjoy wealth and honor!”

Zhao Tian relaxed his eyebrows and nodded.

Poor family children who want to stand out and achieve great success, their only wish is to join a strong martial arts sect like the Green Jade Demonic Sect. The majority of ordinary people join the Green Jade Demonic Sect for the sake of wealth and glory. This is quite normal.

Zhao Tian’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked anxiously, “That is to say, this is your first time cultivating the Kai Xuan Art!”

Shu Feng said with a straightforward expression, “Yes! The Kai Xuan Art isn’t hard. In just one cultivation session, I have already reached the 4th layer.”

“What! This guy cultivated the Kai Xuan Art to the 4th layer in an hour! How is this possible?”

Ning Chen was stunned, an incredulous look in his eyes.

Practicing martial arts too early can have a negative impact on the body. Therefore, except for extremely talented freaks like Zen Master Wuxin, the rest only exercise their body and nurture their foundation before the age of 10. They begin formal martial arts cultivation only after the age of 10.

Ning Chen started practicing martial arts at the age of 10. Only at the age of 16 did he cultivate the Kai Xuan Art to the fourth layer. Yet Shu Feng cultivated the Kai Xuan Art to the fourth layer in just one hour. This is simply outrageous.

The countenance of Yuan Ling’er, who had a proud expression on her face until now, changed slightly: “To cultivate the Kai Xuan Art to the 4th layer in an hour, how is this possible?”

Zhao Tian’s eyes glimmered with a burning shade: “If he hadn’t lied, then he should be a true cultivation genius! Perhaps he can become a true disciple!”

Zhao Tian is a Great Martial Master. When placed in Guangliu City, he can be considered a great expert who can dominate a faction. However, in the Green Jade Demonic Sect, he is only an outer sect disciple. His status isn’t high. If he could invest in a true disciple, he would be able to obtain a great status in the future, and even possibly be transferred to the headquarters of the Green Jade Demonic Sect.

“Han Feng, you passed the test”

Zhao Tian’s grim and solemn expression became gentle. In the next moment, he became grim once again and uttered coldly, “Next!”

At the end of the strength test, more than half of the people were eliminated. Less than 50 youngsters remained.

Zhao Tian waved his hand, and four strong men walked over with a 10-meter-tall stone stele.

Zhao Tian said coldly, “On this stone stele, there is a set of blade techniques recorded! You have an hour to comprehend them! Afterward, perform them in front of me. Only those who are qualified can stay in the lower courtyard. “Han Feng, have a look as well. This set of blade techniques is the Green Jade Demonic Sect’s basic blade art — Flowing Light Blade Art. It is the foundation of the Green Jade Sacred Blade, Flowing Light Heavenly Blade, and other top blade arts. It has a total of six moves. If you can comprehend some of its mysteries, it will be extremely beneficial for your future.”

Zhao Tian turned, smiled at Shu Feng, and spoke thusly.

Ning Chen looked dumbfounded, “What an expedient old thing!”

The other youngsters were also disgruntled, yet they didn’t dare to speak recklessly. With Zhao Tian’s authority, with just one sentence, he can extinguish the hopes of these youngsters of entering the lower courtyard

Except for Yuan Ling’er and Shu Feng, there was not much difference between the present youngsters in Zhao Tian’s eyes. Even if Ning Chen is a minor genius, he can make him leave with just one sentence.

Shu Feng nodded, took a wooden blade, walked up to the 10-meter-tall stone stele, and took a look at it.

There are weird lines engraved on the stone stele, which appear quite messy. They don’t look like a blade art.

Shu Feng operated his xuan qi and took a closer look at the stone stele. He suddenly saw a tall and muscular man with a demonic blade in hand unleash an extremely domineering blade art.

This Flowing Light Blade Art clearly has seven moves, so how come he said that it only has six?”

Upon closer inspection, Shu Feng finally understood: “The seventh move is hidden really well and requires a profound understanding of the first six moves before it can appear.”

“Alright, the time is over!”

After an hour was over, Zhao Tian spoke coldly.

The youngsters left the stone stele’s side one after another.

Zhao Tian turned and asked Shu Feng attentively, “Han Feng, do you want some more time?”

The youngsters looked at Zhao Tian’s obvious flattery and were speechless.

Shu Feng answered, “There’s no need! I finished comprehending the stone stele!”

Zhao Tian asked, “Do you want to make a presentation first or last? Or will you not participate in the presentation? Anyway, you have already passed the assessment!”

Shu Feng said, “I want to be first!”

Since he wants to join the Green Jade Demonic Sect, Shu Feng plans to complete all the assessments according to the procedures. After all, if he comes across nitpicky people in the Green Jade Demonic Sect in the future, they won’t be able to pinpoint any flaws.

Shu Feng said, “This wooden blade doesn’t suit me! I want a steel blade!”

“Okay!”

Zhao Tian waved his hand and unleashed a stream of xuan qi that swept a steel blade and delivered it to Shu Feng.

Shu Feng took the steel blade and performed the Flowing Light Blade Art, and the steel blade turned into a stream of light, emitting a resplendent radiance. In the end, six blade rays merged into one, and a three-meter-long blade ray broke out and slashed to the ground, creating a long crack in the ground.
