âWhat⊠what is going on?â
The senior disciple in charge of this examination stared blankly at the stone. After waiting for a long time, none of the expected five colors lit up.
âIs the equipment broken? No, thatâs impossible.â That disciple once more activated it. The light once more examined Long Chen, proving there was no problem. But no color appeared.
Now, not only he was dumbfounded, but everyone else also.
âThereâs no need to keep trying. I donât have a Spirit Root.â Long Chen bitterly smiled.
This tool investigated a personâs Root Qi, but without his Spirit Root, the only thing at the position of his Dantian was the primal chaos bead, and that light didnât seem to be able to sense it.
The fact that the primal chaos bead wasnât exposed made Long Chen much more at ease. That was his greatest secret, and he couldnât expose it no matter what.
âThatâs impossible. Do you think Iâm an idiot? Without Root Qi, how did you condense a Dantian?â asked the stupefied senior disciple.
âLuo Yan, that question is not in accordance with the rules. We canât ask such things,â chided Mu Qingxuan. She also didnât quite believe what she was seeing, but the Xuantian Dao Sectâs rules didnât allow them to pry into disciplesâ personal secrets.
âBut⊠then⊠what am I supposed to write down?â asked the senior disciple. He couldnât possibly write âno Dantianâ. If the Elders learned of that, they would probably slap him. To cultivate without a Dantian, was that a joke?
âHm⊠just write down that thereâs no way to confirm anything,â said Mu Qingxuan. She had also never heard of someone capable of cultivating without a Dantian.
If she didnât say anything, Luo Yan wouldnât dare to write anything. He was afraid of the responsibility. So he only began to write once Mu Qingxuan nodded.
As a result, the word âuncertainâ was written where the quality of Long Chenâs Spirit Root was supposed to go.
âTch, he doesnât even have a Spirit Root. Heâs probably another bumpkin who bribed his way in. Heâs not even worth dogsh*t,â sneered some people. Without a Dantian, Long Chen had probably cultivated some kind of unorthodox power. But that was a heretical path, and in the end, he wouldnât have any accomplishments.
âDrip a bit of blood on the plate.â The next test was for the density of his Spirit Blood. This was an important statistic as it would say how much potential he had.
Long Chen helplessly dripped a drop of blood onto the plate, which was very large and had countless ancient marks on it.
When Long Chenâs blood landed on it, the plate shook intensely, and a faint dragon roar came from it.
Boom! The ancient plate exploded, shocking everyone.
âYour⊠your essence blood isnât human!â raged the disciple.
âAh? What happened?â asked Long Chen.
âFuck, Iâm going to go crazy! If you didnât have human essence blood, why didnât you say so earlier?!â raged that disciple.
âYou didnât say anything!â Long Chen raged back.
That disciple immediately had an urge to cry. Looking at the shattered testing plate, tears almost leaked out of his eyes.
âItâs okay, itâs not your fault. I also have responsibility for this, so Iâll help you pay for this testing plate. Donât feel bad,â sighed Mu Qingxuan.
âSenior apprentice-sister Qingxuan, did junior disciple do something wrong?â asked Long Chen.
Mu Qingxuan shook her head. âYou didnât do anything wrong. We were just careless. Or perhaps it would be better to say we were unlucky. Normally, we should have first asked about your essence blood, and that would avoid this kind of awkward situation. This testing plate is only for testing human Spirit Blood, and it rejects other racesâ blood. There is a chance of it exploding, but normally, the testing plate will show signs of rejection first, and we would stop the test so it doesnât explode. But this time, it just instantly exploded. Furthermore, according to the sectâs rules, if something happens to the equipment as a result of our negligence, the examiner in charge of it must pay the price.â
âAh, sorry,â said Long Chen. It was no wonder that disciple looked like his wife had just died. He would probably be broke for a long while.
Long Chen had clearly seen ancient race disciples use this testing plate without causing problems, so he had felt he would be fine too.
But in reality, the ancient race experts also contained the human raceâs blood. Their blood was special, but the testing plate didnât reject them.
âThe replacement has arrived. Be careful.â Suddenly, an Elder appeared in the air and took out a new testing plate.
âMany thanks, Elder. Weâll definitely be careful and not allow such a thing to happen twice.â Mu Qingxuan quickly bowed. Just now, she had alerted the higher-ups to send a new testing plate.
âYou should be Long Chen, correct? Come over and drip a drop of blood on this testing plate. This one is special and is something I brought out for you,â said the Elder.
Long Chen went forward and dripped his blood on it. The testing plate blossomed with blinding light.
âWhat dense essence blood energy! But why is the tier so low?â The Elder was astonished.
âWhat tier is it?â asked Long Chen.
âWhat?â Long Chenâs eyes almost popped out. His essence blood was a true dragonâs essence blood. How could its tier be so low?
âYes, it truly is odd. Such powerful essence blood energy is actually only low Huang tier. Although thereâs always some error in any equipment, the error couldnât possibly be this large. Your Spirit Blood is truly low Huang tier,â said the Elder.
âHahaha, as expected, trash. Who knows what dumpster he pulled a drop of essence blood out of? He probably didnât even find out if it was expired or not before refining it. Fool,â sneered someone.
Most cultivatorsâ essence blood was inherited from their ancestors. There were also some who changed their essence blood intentionally, but very few people would refine Magical Beast, demonic beast, or Xuan Beast essence blood.
A humanâs essence blood could be changed, but once someone refined another raceâs essence blood, there was no way to change it again. It would become their new, permanent Spirit Blood.
So unless it was absolutely peak grade, no one would refine a beastâs essence blood. Furthermore, doing so was extremely dangerous. For Long Chen to have such low tier essence blood, the majority thought he was doomed for the rest of his life.
Long Chen suddenly realized what the problem was. The testing plate tested the density of a personâs Spirit Blood, not the energy. They were of different concepts.
The dragon blood flowing through his veins had come from a dragon scale that had existed for countless years. It had lost a great deal of energy, until the only thing remaining was a trace. Just a trace.
That trace had been enough to cause him to almost explode, however, it wasnât a great amount, so the testing tool rated it as the lowest level. Compared to the amount of essence blood a true dragon possessed, this little trace was truly not very dense.
Looking at the idiots sneering at him, Long Chen thought to himself that they would be much better-behaved once he slapped them a few times.
This test actually made Long Chen even more confident. With such a thin density of dragon blood, he already possessed such power. Once he obtained the azure dragon reverse scaleâŠ
Long Chen was excited about it, but also worried. The azure dragon scale would contain even purer essence blood, and without enough power, he wouldnât be able to refine it. If he rashly tried, he would instantly explode.
âLong Chen, donât worry. A couple of statistics arenât enough to determine a personâs potential. Continue to the next test,â said Mu Qingxuan, thinking that his confidence had been given a blow because of his lost expression.
Long Chen smiled slightly and nodded. This senior apprentice-sister was quite kind, a stark difference compared to the idiots outside.
He continued onwards. The next test was a gate. He had seen others go through it, but there was no one in charge of this equipment, and he didnât know what it was used for.
He had only just gone through when an unprecedented disturbance came from the gate. Its countless runes lit up, and Mu Qingxuanâs expression became ecstatic.
But that ecstatic expression quickly became that of astonishment, because after the gateâs runes lit up, they turned dark again. Only four runes appeared.
Seeing those four runes, most people were lost. Those characters werenât immortal characters, nor were they the current eraâs characters.
Of everyone present, only Mu Qingxuan had the authority to know what those runes meant: Spirit Bone has been removed.
Most people didnât have a Spirit Bone. Those who had Spirit Bones were even rarer than those geniuses with variant Spirit Roots, as it was related to the secret of becoming a god or immortal.
However, the gateâs runes said that Long Chen had once possessed a Spirit Bone, but now it was gone. Mu Qingxuan was bewildered. Thinking of the oddities with his Spirit Root and Spirit Blood, she thought of many things she hadnât dared to think before.
However, she didnât say anything. Long Chen was unaware that the secret of his excavated Spirit Bone was already exposed. He moved on to the next test.
âFlame energy: low Heaven tier.â
When Long Chen walked onto a stage, the flame dragon on his arm involuntarily released a fluctuation. Long Chen was shocked by this testing instrument. He was unable to conceal anything even if he wanted to.
âThunderforce: high Heaven tier.â
âSpiritual Strength: low Heaven tier.â
Looking at those three statistics, everyone was silent. Even Mu Qingxuan was unable to say anything for a long time.
âThree of his attributes have reached the Heaven tier? Impossible!â Everyone was dumbfounded.
When Long Chen and the remaining others finished the complete registration, Mu Qingxuan left with all the registrations.
