“Hahahaha!!!”
As soon as Chu Feng said this, everyone thought that Xia Ran would definitely make a move against him.
But to everyone’s surprise, the originally furious Xia Ran not only did not attack, he instead burst out laughing.
This left people somewhat confused.
“You dare say I do not even count as a thing?”
“On what basis? Do you really think you triggered god level talent?”
Xia Ran narrowed his eyes and sized up Chu Feng.
“And on what basis do you think I did not trigger god level talent?”
Chu Feng asked in return.
“Chu Feng, do not say that I, as a senior brother, am bullying you.”
“Today, in front of all of us, you will take the talent test one more time.”
“If you truly can trigger god level talent, then I, Xia Ran, will apologise to you in front of all the senior brothers and junior brothers.”
“But if you cannot, then you will kneel down and apologise to me.”
“Do you dare?”
Xia Ran said to Chu Feng.
“Why would I not dare?”
Chu Feng replied.
“Good, then come now.”
As Xia Ran spoke, he took out a testing stone and placed it in front of Chu Feng.
From the surface, this testing stone looked no different from the one Bi Jingjing had used that day.
However, Chu Feng feared that Xia Ran might have set a trap, so he carefully examined it.
In the end, he found no abnormalities. It was indeed the same as Bi Jingjing’s testing stone.
Seeing no issues, Chu Feng did not hesitate and stepped onto it.
Very soon, the testing stone reacted.
White light immediately surged forth.
But after the white light, no other light appeared.
“This is bad, I have been set up.”
Chu Feng cried out inwardly.
Although nothing seemed wrong on the surface, he knew very well that he should definitely be able to trigger god level talent. There was absolutely no problem with his talent.
This meant that there was still an issue with this testing stone.
It was just that the tampering was extremely subtle, so subtle that even Chu Feng could not tell where the problem lay.
“Hahahaha…”
At the next moment, waves of mocking laughter rang out among the disciples.
Many people from the Eastern Dragon Court, Western Tiger Court, and Southern Sparrow Court had already concluded that Chu Feng’s true talent was merely the lowest grade.
“Chu Feng, you really are a mediocre talent. You are only lowest grade talent.”
“Who would have thought that you would be so bold as to use despicable methods to fabricate the illusion of god level talent.”
“A shameless person like you should be expelled from the Wolong Martial Sect. You are not worthy of being a disciple of the Wolong Martial Sect.”
Before the Southern Sparrow Court could even speak, someone from the Eastern Dragon Court mocked him.
It was worth noting that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Chu Feng did not even need to look to know who it was.
It was Hua Xu, who had entered the Wolong Martial Sect together with Chu Feng and Tu Yuanyuan.
In fact, not only had Hua Xu come, Tu Yuanyuan had also arrived, standing among the Eastern Dragon Court disciples.
It was just that in such a situation, Tu Yuanyuan did not dare speak up for Chu Feng.
She did not want to offend others.
“Chu Feng, what do you have to say now?”
Seeing Chu Feng fail the test, Xia Ran looked at him with undisguised schadenfreude.
“You even carefully prepared a testing stone that had been tampered with.”
“Xia Ran, the despicable one is you, right?”
Chu Feng said to Xia Ran.
As soon as Chu Feng said this, people erupted into waves of disdain, believing that Chu Feng was arguing sophistically and could not accept defeat.
“This testing stone of mine was indeed tampered with.”
But who would have thought that Xia Ran would directly admit it.
This made those who were waiting to see Chu Feng make a fool of himself feel momentarily confused.
However, Xia Ran quickly spoke again.
“This testing stone has been enhanced. Despicable methods are useless.”
“Only true ability can trigger the talent level that belongs to it.”
“Someone like you can only trigger lowest grade talent.”
Xia Ran said to Chu Feng.
After Xia Ran said this, Fang Yunshi and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it could be confirmed that Chu Feng was only lowest grade talent, their objective was achieved.
“Chu Feng, stop talking nonsense.”
“A bet is a bet. Hurry up and kneel down, kneel and apologise to my Senior Brother Xia.”
“No, not just Senior Brother Xia. You should apologise to everyone in our Southern Sparrow Court.”
Fang Yunshi pointed at Chu Feng and said. He had long hated Chu Feng to the bone and wished for Chu Feng to apologise immediately.
“That is right, kneel down, kneel down and apologise.”
Immediately after, other disciples also spoke up. Not only disciples from the Southern Sparrow Court, but also those from the Eastern Dragon Court and Western Tiger Court urged Chu Feng to kneel.
Of course, the most excited were the Southern Sparrow Court disciples.
At this moment, they were extremely excited and agitated.
Only Bi Jingjing had mixed emotions.
She had already sensed that something was wrong. Although her expression was conflicted, in the end she still chose to stand on the side of the Southern Sparrow Court and did not speak up for Chu Feng.
“If I, Chu Feng, truly lost, then I would accept it wholeheartedly. Apologising would not be a problem.”
“But to use such despicable methods to scheme against me, and then expect me to apologise, that is impossible.”
Chu Feng said.
“I knew it. Someone who uses despicable methods like you would never obediently apologise.”
“Since you refuse to kneel, then I will make you kneel.”
As Xia Ran spoke, he released his pressure toward Chu Feng, trying to force him to kneel before him.
“Stop!!!”
But at that very moment, an elderly voice exploded from the void.
At the same time, space twisted, and an elderly man with white hair, dishevelled and looking somewhat scruffy, appeared in the sky above.
Although this old man wore the robes of an elder of the Wolong Martial Sect, there were no markings of the four courts on his robes.
Moreover, his robes were clearly more refined and noble than those of other elders.
Just by looking at his attire, one could tell that he was no ordinary person.
“Protector Lord?”
After this old man appeared, the once noisy place immediately fell silent.
People seemed very wary of this old man, yet at the same time, his appearance also surprised them.
“You are here to train, not to fight.”
The old man directed his gaze toward Xia Ran.
“Protector Lord, this disciple is not bullying others. There are hidden circumstances. Please see clearly, Protector Lord.”
Xia Ran quickly clasped his fists and bowed, immediately explaining.
“Hidden circumstances?”
“What hidden circumstances? Tell me.”
The old man asked.
“It is just that this disciple cannot tolerate Chu Feng using despicable methods to deceive everyone.”
“And he even harbours delusions of standing on equal footing with Lord Dugu Ling Tian.”
“Protector Lord, you know that Lord Dugu Ling Tian belongs to our Southern Sparrow Court. He is the totem of our Southern Sparrow Court, the example that our Southern Sparrow Court disciples worship and learn from.”
“As a disciple of the Southern Sparrow Court, I naturally cannot tolerate him using Lord Dugu Ling Tian’s reputation to make a name for himself.”
Although Xia Ran was arrogant, his attitude toward this old man was extremely respectful.
One could even say that he was very afraid of this old man.
“Your Southern Sparrow Court?”
“Lord Dugu Ling Tian belongs to our Wolong Martial Sect, not solely to your Southern Sparrow Court.”
“Could it be that your Southern Sparrow Court is an independent sect and not part of my Wolong Martial Sect?”
The old man asked in a stern voice.
“Protector Lord, that is not what I mean. I just…”
Xia Ran still wanted to argue.
But the old man cut him off.
“All of you listen carefully.”
“What you do elsewhere, I, Zhao, do not care about.”
“But here, under my watch, no one is allowed to act recklessly.”
“Now that Snow Domain Heavenly Peak is open, the total cultivation time is five hours. Those who wish to cultivate may enter.”
“Those who do not wish to cultivate, get lost. I will absolutely not keep you.”
The old man said loudly.
And as soon as he finished speaking, the barrier gate sealing Snow Domain Heavenly Peak opened.
