BXBX NOVEL Chapter 148.4 - A Prodigy is Born
Elder Jin’s face was thoughtful as he rubbed his chin. “Could that little young doll have used some renegade method?”
Elder Yan beside him then laughed and said: “I think you’re getting old and forgot that no one passes the Faint Mist Sect’s mountain gates that easily. If there was anything suspicious on her, the gates would not have let her through.”
Hearing that, Elder Jin said as a corner of his mouth twitched: “So..... it is because the little young doll there has cultivation that is so high that..... the Gift Rock exploded when it was unable to withstand the powers she has?”
“Whether that is truly the case, we’ll just have to test it one more time and we’ll know.”
Elder Yan’s eyes flashed with an intelligent glint and with a grand wave of his well defined hand, a great crystal ball appeared. That was a appraisal artifact that clairvoyants used. It gives results that were more comprehensive and accurate than Gift Rocks, and the amount of power it could withstand was also stronger.
That was a treasured possession of all clairvoyants and was not commonly shown to people, but Elder Yan had unexpectedly been willing to bring it out.
Elder Jin’s face was one of surprise. “Aren’t you afraid that the little girl will cause your crystal to blow up?”
“If she is really a prodigy, then the destruction of a crystal ball is not that big a matter.”
Elder Yan curled up the ends of his mouth and gave a great big wave of his hand to dismantle the barrier screen that hid them, to appear before the participants.
The sudden appearance of the few people in the vast hall caused the youths taking part in the trials to jump in shock.
“These are the invigilators of the trials.” A disciple then opened his mouth to explain.
[What? !]
[Had all these Seniors and Elders been secretly watching them the whole time? That is really so scary. Only the Heavens know whether their performance earlier had been enough to leave a good impression on these respected entities!]
Elder Yan held the crystal ball in one hand and came walking over slowly closer. When he was able to see the young lady’s countenance clearly, he unconsciously froze for a brief moment, feeling that he had seen her before. But he recovered very quickly to normal and said in a gentle voice: “Young lady, try to place your hand on it.”
It was at that moment that Feng Tian Hen arrived at the hall where the trials was being held.
The slender white clothed young lady had her back facing him and he was not able to see her face, but he saw the slender and beautiful hand slowly resting upon the crystal ball, the skin fair and silky smooth, the most exquisite he had seen.
And in that instant that the hand was placed upon the crystal ball, it was not known from where a wind like a hurricane kicked up, which cut painfully into people’s faces.
The still and silent crystal ball suddenly swirled up murkily and a dizzying dazzle of colours that represented all the different elements flashed very quickly before settling into a thick dark black like the colour of ink. A loud crack was then heard and the crystal ball split open.
