LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 37: Spiritual Roots Test
Seeing the apprehensive look on the double's face, Zhen Yuan smiled and squeezed Shen Xu's hand.
"Don't worry." He whispered.
"I will go first. If something goes wrong, you won't take the test." Shen Xu said.
"No, I…"
"Don't argue." Shen Xu glared.
"Okay." Zhen Yuan agreed and subconsciously raised his arms in surrender.
"Good. You…"
"Next." A voice interrupted the two's conversation.
"I will go first." Song Wancheng said and rushed forward without waiting for their response
"Name?" The male cultivator in charge of the test asked.
"Song Wancheng."
Hearing the name, the cultivator raised his head and looked at Song Wancheng.
'Is he the young master of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion?' The cultivator wondered.
At the same time, he subtly examined the person.
'Level two protective robe, level two speed boots, level two protective hair accessory, space ring, and most importantly, a level three golden fan.' He observed.
'If I leave a good impression on young master Song, I will definitely gain some benefits in the future.' He thought.
"Young master Song, my name is Wang Shang. I am a third-year student in the School of Weapon Refining. If there is anything you need, please let me know and I will do my best to help you."
When he heard this, Song Wancheng smiled and lightly waved his fan.
As a businessman, he understood the value of connections.
Since the senior had taken the initiative to make a connection, Song Wancheng would naturally accept the olive branch.
After all, he may need the connection at some point in the future.
"Thank you in advance." He said.
Hearing this, Wang Shang was overjoyed.
However, he knew when to push forward and when to retreat.
At this time, he didn't continue to flatter the young master.
Instead, he smiled and pointed at the crystal ball.
"Young master Song, please place your hand on the crystal ball." He said.
Without delay, Song Wancheng did as asked and placed his right hand on the crystal ball.
Originally, the crystal ball was filled with white clouds.
However, as soon as Song Wancheng placed his hand on the crystal ball, a red light appeared at the centre of the clouds.
At first, the red was just a negligible speck, but in the blink of an eye, all the clouds turned a dazzling red.
"As expected of young master Song. He is a rare genius with a single fire root." Wang Shang praised in a high voice.
Hearing this, the surrounding people turned to look at Song Wancheng.
"Is it really a single fire root?" Someone asked, his voice filled with disbelief.
After all, the Canglan continent was a low-level continent.
Although single-line spiritual roots were not non-existent, they were rare.
Seeing a single-line cultivator, the surrounding people couldn't help but be excited.
"His hand is still on the crystal ball. It is definitely a single fire root."
"You are right. I didn't expect to see a single-line cultivator."
"Do you know who he is?"
"Such a genius will definitely be accepted as a disciple."
"I know who he is. He is the young master of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion."
"How can one person be so lucky?" Someone muttered in an envious voice.
"Don't you know? Reincarnation is also a skill."
"With a single fire root, he has a chance to advance to the golden core realm."
Noticing the commotion, Song Wancheng proudly raised his chin and Shen Xu rolled his eyes in disgust.
'What about a single fire root? I have the chaos fire root, and my Ayuan is even more outstanding.' He thought.
However, he didn't say anything.
Instead, he waited until Song Wancheng had his fill before taking his place in front of the crystal ball.
"Name?" Wang Shang asked.
"Shen Xu."
"Shen Xu…" Wang Shang raised his head again.
The young man in front of him was a beauty with a bright cinnabar mole between his eyebrows.
'A double?' Wang Shang thought and subconsciously raised his eyebrow.
At the same time, he recalled the poster he saw in Dragon City, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Are you the fourth young master of the Shi family?" He asked.
"Is there a problem?" Shen Xu asked without answering the question.
"Is he really the fourth young master" Someone excitedly shouted.
"Don't compete with me, the one million reward is mine."
"Nonsense! We all saw him together."
When he heard the commotion, Shen Xu regretted his lack of foresight.
'If I knew this would happen, I would have worn a mask.' He thought.
Wanting to escape as soon as possible, he pointed at the crystal ball and spoke.
"Can I take the test?" He asked.
"Test…, yes, please go ahead." Wang Shang said.
Less than a breath later, Shen Xu placed his hand on the crystal ball.
Like Song Wancheng before him, the crystal glowed with a red light.
However, the light was at least ten times brighter and exuded a subtle sacredness.
"Does he also have a single fire root?" Someone asked but his voice betrayed his confusion.
After all, they had just witnessed Song Wancheng's spiritual root test.
If both people were single-line fire root cultivators, why did the crystal ball react so differently?
"I don't see any other colours mixed in with the red. He is definitely a single-line fire root cultivator."
"Who can tell us what is going on?"
"Young master Shen, can you please retake the test?" Wang Shang asked in a deceptively calm voice.
However, his heart was not calm.
Others didn't know what was going on but he had a good idea.
If his suspicion was right, the fourth young master of the Shi family would become the second genius in the Divine Rainbow Academy.
'No..., he won't be the second. His status will be equal to the seventh young master Xiao.' Wang Shang corrected himself.
While thinking this, he couldn't help but be excited.
'This fourth young master Shi wants to enter the school of weapon refining. If I help my master recruit him, I will definitely receive a heavy reward.' He thought but first, he had to confirm what he assumed.
