Chapter 592 Assessment
Jing Su\'s voice wasn\'t loud but everyone present heard it. The Elders gave some last-minute advice to their juniors and wished them luck as they stepped back. Jing Su and the other three waited for the participants of the assessment to get ready. Once everyone was prepared Jing Su did a quick look at the dozens of people that met their requirements. After a while, Jing Su couldn\'t help but frown.
"Didn\'t you know that not only should you be below the age of eighteen but you also must have the Cultivation Realm be at the Spirit Gathering Realm? I see that there are some of you that do not understand the human language."
Jing Su pointed her finger at three people and those three were lifted into the air by an unknown force. Jing Su then bent her finger making the three fly towards her. The trio looked bewildered as they now stood in front of the cold beauty.
"So you three, do you not understand that only those at the Spirit Gathering Realm and above can join this assessment. The three of you are just in the late stages of the Body Forging Realm. You might think you can hide your Cultivation Realm from me using whatever means you have, but such things are junk, and anyone from the Void Sect could see through it."
When the others heard what Jing Su said they finally realized that the three really were at the Body Forging Realm. The other participants started throwing out insults at the trio some of them even wanted to attack but held back because the people from the Void Sect were there.
"You three better leave now while I\'m feeling merciful."
The moment Jing Su\'s voice echoed in their ears, the trio felt as if the temperature has dropped. Two of the three quickly bowed their heads and left without looking back.
"Hmm, how about you, aren\'t you going to leave?"
Being directly looked at by Jing Su made him feel like he was being stared at by a Primordial Beast and it made him shiver, but the young man didn\'t back down as he bravely stared back at her. The young man then gathered every bit of his courage and responded.
"Don\'t you think this is unfair?"
"Unfair, what is unfair?"
"I might only be at the peak of the Body Forging Realm but I can beat any Spirit Gathering Realm Fighter."
The confidence in his voice as he spoke was so pure that Jing Su was actually moved when she heard it. On the other hand, the participants that heard those words were offended and glared at the young man. There were only a few participants that weren\'t angry at what he said, one of those was Mo Feng who looked at the scene with interest. Then there were those like Mei Zhen who remained indifferent.
Even the trio who was accompanying Jing Su felt that the young man was too arrogant for a nameless guy. There was only one other person who was excited to hear what the young man said.
Ren who was watching at a distance heard every single word as if he was there standing in front of the young man. Ren\'s smile grew as his eyes sparkled in excitement.
"This guy is interesting."
...
"Fine, then show me that you are stronger than a Spirit Gathering Realm fighter. I\'ll give you a chance, if you\'re able to win against three Spirit Gathering Realm fighters I will bend the rules and allow you to join the assessment. You can pick three of the people present here, and I will be the referee. So who do you want to fight?"
The young man was surprised at first that Jing Su actually agreed so easily, it took him a while to get his bearings back. He faced the other participants who were now glaring at him, he could feel their killing intent directed at him, but he was not perturbed. He then look back at Jing Su and responded.
"It doesn\'t matter who I fight, so please choose for me."
"Oh, you\'re that confident are you." Jing Su then pointed at one of the people standing at the front. "You come forward and face him."
The man who Jing Su called was at the second stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm. The man had a look of annoyance as he stepped forward.
"Hmph, you\'re unlucky that you have to face me." The man who was chosen to fight held his sword ready for battle.
"We shall see," the young man responded in a cool manner.
"Alright, greet your opponent properly and begin the fight."
"Sun Lan, second stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm."
"Fang Mu, tenth stage of the Body Forging Realm."
After they said their names Fang Mu quickly made his move. Fang Mu\'s speed surprised everyone present as that speed was not something a mere Body Forging Realm Cultivator should possess. He shouldn\'t even be able to use Qi at this stage, but Jing Su sensed Fang Mu\'s circulation of Qi.
Sun Lan could barely follow Fang Mu\'s movement, but he was still able to put up his sword in defense. As Su Lan\'s sword met Fang Mu\'s, Su Lan felt the heavy pressure coming from Fang Mu, and for a second he thought that his sword would crumble from such might, but what happened next surprised him and everyone present. Fang Mu\'s sword was the one to actually break.
Surprised by the sword breaking Su Lan was stunned for a second, but then he felt something hit his abdomen. Fang Mu had used a palm strike making Su Lan fly away landing a hundred meters from his original location. Su Lan now had a palm imprint on his abdomen and was knocked unconscious.
Seeing that scene everyone even Jing Su was stunned into silence. On the other hand, Ren was clapping his hands while laughing heartily.
Fang Mu looked in the direction his opponent fell and did a palm holds fist salute. After that, he looked at Jing Su and said in a cool voice.
"Who\'s next?"
