Chapter 1844: Chapter 1841: Dual Spiritual Roots!
Upon hearing Li Chen’s encouragement, Zhao Qinglan’s face bloomed into a smile as sweet as a flower, nodding her head vigorously like a little chick pecking at rice.
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Qin Yang couldn’t help but burst into laughter, as if he had heard a very funny joke.
In the Heavenly Dragon Empire, although Qin Yang’s talent wasn’t one of a kind, he could definitely be considered a dragon among men. It’s not something just anyone could surpass.
Zhao Yifei and Zhao Qingfeng were ahead of Zhao Qinglan, one possessing an Earth Element with a two-star talent, and the other a Wood Element with a one-star talent.
Both Zhao Yifei and Zhao Qingfeng were very excited.
After their assessment, they began to share their experiences with Zhao Qinglan and Li Chen, explaining how to proceed.
Now Zhao Qinglan was both excited and eager. She blinked her lively eyes and said to Li Chen, “Brother Li Chen, it’s my turn next!”
Li Chen nodded and replied, “Hmm, go ahead, do your best!”
Zhao Qinglan waved her small fist at Li Chen and then directly headed towards the platform.
The mentor in charge of the assessment saw that Zhao Qinglan seemed so petite and cute, and naturally had a bit of favoritism towards her.
Seeing her clench her small fists and tense all over, looking quite nervous, the mentor encouraged her:
“Little girl, don’t be nervous. Follow my instructions, clear your mind, and focus on your Dantian. Then, spread your hands and place them on this Spirit Testing Stele!”
Zhao Qinglan nodded and did as the mentor instructed.
Soon, the Wood Attribute began to light up.
Subsequently, the corresponding star grids for the Wood Attribute also gradually began to light up.
First Star Grid!
Second Star Grid!
Third Star Grid!
Fourth Star Grid!
Fifth Star Grid!
It had already broken Qin Yang’s previous record.
Moreover, Zhao Qinglan’s Spiritual Power Value was still climbing.
Breaking through the Fifth Star Grid, entering the Sixth Star Grid.
Soon, the Sixth Star Grid also slowly filled up, and just as everyone was staring wide-eyed, holding their breath, witnessing the birth of a Heavenly Spirit Root prodigy, the spiritual power met a strong resistance and could not break through, stopping at the perfect position of the Sixth Star Grid.
Although Zhao Qinglan’s talent did not advance to the Seven Stars to reach the Heavenly Spirit Root, leaving some people feeling a bit regretful.
However, this Six-Star talent is still very rare.
And, Zhao Qinglan appeared to be very young, only about thirteen or fourteen years old, like a piece of fine jade. If properly polished, her future prospects would be limitless.
“Little girl, very well done. Are you interested in joining my tutelage to practice?”
Master Molan, in charge of the assessment, developed an affection for talent and first extended an olive branch to Zhao Qinglan.
Before Zhao Qinglan could even respond, the Spirit Testing Stele suddenly reacted again.
This time, it was the spirit root representing the Fire Attribute that began to flicker.
Witnessing this scene, everyone present widened their eyes.
After a moment of dead silence, someone finally exclaimed in disbelief.
“Is this Dual Spiritual Roots?”
Soon, the corresponding Talent Star Value began to climb as well.
First Star Grid!
Second Star Grid!
Third Star Grid!
Fourth Star Grid!
The talent of the Fire Attribute spirit root was noticeably not as strong as the Wood Attribute spirit root and appeared weak once it rose to the Fourth Star Grid.
Just as Zhao Qinglan was about to give up, Master Molan beside her suddenly shouted.
“Little girl, don’t give up, you still have talent that hasn’t been released!”
Hearing Master Molan’s encouragement, Zhao Qinglan, who was about to give up, clenched her teeth again and held on for dear life.
“Swish!”
Finally, the spiritual power broke through the barrier of the Fourth Star Grid and entered into the Fifth Star Grid.
With fire and wood dual attribute spirit roots, and one talent value at five stars and the other at six stars, such a prodigy is a top-notch candidate even in the inner court.
At this moment, Zhao Qinglan, feeling as if her body was completely drained, was very weak.
Fortunately, Master Molan was there to support her in time, preventing her from falling.
Zhao Qinglan forced a weak smile at Master Molan and asked weakly, “Master Molan, does what you said earlier still count?”
Molan was taken aback by her words, wondering what she had said earlier?
Suddenly, she recalled and immediately became extremely excited, nodding repeatedly.
“Of course, it counts!”
Li Chen, Zhao Yifei, Zhao Qingfeng, and the others quickly ran over when they saw Zhao Qinglan faint.
“Qinglan, are you okay?”
Master Molan warily looked at Li Chen and the three of them, asking tentatively, “Who are you to her?”
“I’m her cousin!” Zhao Qingfeng spoke up first.
“We are all from the same village!” Zhao Yifei added.
Hearing Zhao Yifei’s words, Master Molan appeared somewhat surprised.
In her understanding, only those from great sects and great families could produce prodigies, or at least be from county and state-level large families.
But unexpectedly, this little girl named Zhao Qinglan came from a village in the countryside.
Molan noticed Li Chen had been silent, so she took another look at him and asked, “Who are you to her?”
Li Chen thought for a moment and replied, “A friend!”
Hearing Li Chen’s answer, Molan looked at him with interest.
She naturally assumed that Li Chen was Zhao Qinglan’s suitor.
After all, it was completely normal for a heavenly pride girl like Zhao Qinglan to have admirers.
Seeing Li Chen’s concern for her, Zhao Qinglan’s heart fluttered with joy like a little fawn leaping inside her chest.
“Brother Li Chen, I’m fine, just need a little rest!”
Li Chen nodded slightly at her and said, “As long as you’re okay!”
Molan, observing the interaction between her prized disciple and Li Chen, a country bumpkin in her eyes, felt an inexplicable sense of disdain.
She felt Zhao Qinglan was wasting her time!
In her view, Zhao Qinglan was a phoenix among people, with a future as boundless as can be, not someone a country boy like Li Chen could lay claim to.
“She’s fine, you all can step down now!”
Molan said without even glancing at Li Chen, maintaining an impassive expression.
Zhao Yifei and Zhao Qingfeng exchanged glances, not daring to hesitate, and quickly descended from the stage.
However, Li Chen remained standing where he was, not moving an inch.
Seeing this country boy daring to disregard her words, Master Molan’s expression suddenly turned icy.
“Boy, didn’t you hear what I just said?”
Li Chen nodded, expressionless, and replied, “I heard.”
Seeing Li Chen unfazed by her pressure, Master Molan couldn’t help but become interested.
“Oh, since that’s the case, why haven’t you stepped down? Could it be that you don’t trust me?”
Li Chen shook his head and replied, “That’s not it, I’m also here to participate in the assessment!”
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Master Molan’s expression slightly softened.
She was entirely focused on her newly accepted prized disciple Zhao Qinglan and thus couldn’t be bothered with Li Chen.
“Li Lang, this is your clan member, you help him with the test!”
