"What is it? It actually ended!" That person was very surprised. He had wanted to give Ye Xuan a good beating, but she had taken advantage of the situation and robbed him of the Xialan Jade that originally belonged to him. But since Mountain Ghost Song had already spoken, he could only drop the matter. In any case, the Primordial Qi in his body was almost exhausted. If he fought with Ye Xuan again, he might not be able to defeat her.
"Congratulations to the four of you for passing.”Shan Guiyao clapped her hands and smiled. She turned her gaze towards Ye Xuan," Especially you. Among so many people, your performance was the most outstanding. You obtained a Heroic Mist Jade with the least amount of energy.”
Ye Xuan scratched her head and smiled. Actually, the reason why he did this was to save trouble. He knew that with Shan Guiyao's strength, the barrier he created would not be destroyed so easily, so he did not make a move and waited for the opportunity to snatch the Xialan Jade. Previously, he had saved her because he was new here and wanted to make a few friends in Nine Palace Ridge. Other than that, he only wanted to pass the selection.
"Hmph, that guy is just taking advantage of the situation. What's so great about it?”The person just now was obviously unconvinced.
"Hehe, fine. Since I'm not that impressive, then you've still fallen for my scheme. Teacher has already said that you can use any method to snatch the Xialan Jade. Besides, it was you who went up and broke the barrier with all your effort that gave me the chance to snatch it.”Ye Xuan sneered. He was not angry because of this. Instead, he was a little proud." Speaking of this, I still have to thank you! If it weren't for your stupid actions, I might not have passed.”
"That's right. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Fighting Zero doesn't just rely on one's own strength, but also a shrewd mind. Strength is important, but strategy is an important factor in determining whether you can win in battle. He clearly already had this.”Shan Guiyao chimed in," Alright, the four who passed the selection have obtained the qualifications to stay in the Yang Heaven Palace Hall to cultivate. As for the remaining people who did not pass the selection, someone will bring you to the Remembrance Forest later. After you have erased your memories and primordial qi, you can leave the Nine Palace Ridge.”
"Teacher, this…"
"There's no need to say more. These are the rules. If you don't agree, you can go and talk to the Formation Breaking Commander.”Mountain Ghost Song said.
The six of them immediately became listless and left the Yang Heaven Palace dejectedly.
"Alright, the four of you are already the Four Guardians Heroic Mist of the Yang Heaven Palace. Let me introduce myself. My name is Shan Guiyao, I am the Taiji Swordsman who guards the Yang Heaven Palace. He liked interesting things, liked to become stronger, and hated idiots.”Mountain Ghost Song gave a simple self-introduction." Heroic Mist is an extremely dangerous profession. Before you became Heroic Mist, you should have understood that Heroic Mist is shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the world with the Guardian God Pendant. It could be sacrificed in battle at any time. However, since you've become my students, I won't let you die so easily.”
The corner of Ye Xuan's mouth twitched. She suddenly felt that being his student could be very dangerous.
"Of course, if any of you want to give up, it's not too late. But I have to remind you that this is your last chance.”
"Teacher, you don't have to say anymore." At this moment, Ruobing spoke up," If we were afraid of danger, then we wouldn't have to participate in the selection. So, no matter what you say, we won't give up.”
When she spoke, Ye Xuan could feel her determination.
Mountain Ghost Ballad's lips curled into a smile." Very well. Since that's the case, I won't say anything more."”With that, he took out four small cards from his pocket and distributed them to the four people.
"This is…the Heroic Mist Disc! Great, I succeeded!" Ye Xuan's eyes flashed with excitement. She had finally achieved her goal.
The Heroic Mist Disc was a symbol of the Heroic Mist's identity. After becoming the Four Symbols Heroic Mist, it would be distributed by the Hall Guardian. The Heroic Mist Disc of each level was different, and it was also needed in the leveling competition. The front of the plate was engraved with the mark of the chivalrous mist, and the back was engraved with the respective elemental qi attributes. Every chivalrous mist had only one elemental qi attribute.
"Since all of you have become my students, we should naturally get to know each other. You should all give a simple self-introduction first.”
"My name is Ruobing, and my attribute is water. I like interesting things and hate people who put on airs. I also don't like people who are too casual.”
The blue-robed youth standing at the side said," My name is Mo Xi. I'm Ruobing's younger brother. My attribute is fire. Although I usually look cold, I actually like to interact with people. I hope we can get along well in the future.”
When Ye Xuan saw them, she could feel that these two siblings gave off a cold feeling. Especially Ruobing. When she spoke, her face was as cold as ice.
Another girl with a ponytail, who looked pretty and lively, smiled and said," My name is Bi Xiao. My attribute is gold. I like to accept new things, but I'm afraid of dirt. I hope you don't mind in the future.”
"My name is Ye Xuan, and my attribute is wood. I like to eat delicious food and also like fresh things. I hate stupid and self-righteous people.”
The Mountain Ghost Ballad nodded in satisfaction." Very good. We can be considered to have gotten to know each other now. You guys can go back first tonight. Tomorrow morning, after you finish your meal, come to the small forest and gather for training."”
"Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
At night, Ye Xuan lay on her bed, bored, and looked at her Xialan Disc. Just as he flipped the disc, he was stunned.
On the back of the plate, there were the elemental attributes of the Xialan. They were metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, without exception. However, Ye Xuan's Heroic Mist Disc was a little strange. On the back of the Heroic Mist Disc, it was not engraved with these five words, but-Yang!
"What's going on? Shouldn't my elemental qi be wood? Why was the word 'Yang' written on the disc?”
What did this Yang character represent? Could it be…
Just as Ye Xuan was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Ye Xuan had no choice but to put down the Heroic Mist Disc in her hand and walk over to open the door. Shan Guiyao stood at the door expressionlessly.
"Teacher Mountain Ghost Song, why are you looking for me?”
"Just now, the Commander of the Formation Destroyer had a conversation with me. He said that for some reason, he wanted me to take special care of you.”Mountain Ghost Song replied.
"Care? Why?" Ye Xuan was stunned. The commander of Nine Palace Ridge would actually take special care of a nameless junior like him? He was very clear about his identity. Among all the chivalrous mists in Nine Palace Ridge, there were many who were more talented than him. Why would the commander of the formation take care of an unknown guy like him?
Could it be because of her grandfather?
For as long as he could remember, he only knew that his grandfather Ye Mohan was a powerful hero, but he didn't know anything about his grandfather's other identities. Every time he asked, his grandfather would not answer him or find an excuse to shirk.
However, no matter what the reason was, what he needed was not special treatment.
"This is what the Formation Breaking Commander told me. I don't know the exact reason. He said that he would tell you when the time is right.”The mountain ghost ballad continued," But don't be too happy about it. The so-called special care doesn't mean that you will have it easy, but that you will have to undergo training that is harder than others.”
Ye Xuan frowned. Who the hell would be happy over something like this? Mountain Ghost Yao, is water in your brain?
"Alright, I've said what I need to say. You should rest early.”
"Teacher, wait a moment."
Shan Guiyao was about to leave when Ye Xuan called out to him. "What is it?"
Ye Xuan walked to the bedside, picked up the Heroic Mist Disc, and placed it in front of Mountain Ghost Yao, asking,""Teacher, why does it say…Yang?”
Shan Guiyao's eyes widened when he saw the word 'Yang' on the back of the Heroic Mist Disc. Encountering such a thing, he was also a little surprised. The Heroic Mist Disc could only have the words Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, but this kid's Heroic Mist Disc had the word Yang written on it. After so many years, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
" I don't understand either." Mountain Ghost Song shrugged and said helplessly," Anyway, don't worry about this matter for now. Focus on training during this period of time. I will tell the Formation Breaking Commander about your matter."”
Seeing this, Ye Xuan did not say anything else. After sending Shan Gui Yao off, Ye Xuan directly burrowed into her blanket.
In the morning, Ye Xuan woke up from her room and stretched. After washing up, she suddenly realized that the mark on her left hand had an additional color. One of the magatama had turned green, which gave him a great shock. Was there something strange about his mark?
However, she heard someone shouting from outside,"Ye Xuan, when are you going to sleep?" Hurry up and get up, you still have to train!"
"Got it."
The moment Ye Xuan stepped out of the room, she saw Ruobing and the others standing outside the door. She couldn't help but feel a little awkward and said,""Sorry, I woke up late."
Mo Xi said," Why are you sleeping so soundly? We've been waiting here for quite a while. If my sister hadn't told us to wait for you, we would have been in the forest by now!"”
Seeing this, Ruobing tried to smooth things over." Alright, let's hurry to the canteen to eat. Teacher is waiting for us in the grove."”
"Got it. I'll go now."
At noon, in the small forest, a few people were waiting by the pond.
Originally, Mountain Ghost Song had said that they would gather in the small forest, but everyone had already waited for more than two hours, and in the end, they did not even see a single person.
"I say, it's already been so long, why hasn't Teacher Mountain Ghost Song come yet?”Bi Xiao paced back and forth as she spoke impatiently.
"Jump into the water." Ye Xuan was silent for a moment before she suddenly said.
"What?" Bi Xiao asked curiously," Ye Xuan, you must be joking. How could Teacher be in the water?"”
Just as Ye Xuan was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from the bottom of the water.""Stop arguing. Ye Xuan is right. I'm at the bottom of the pool now. I've been waiting for you for an hour and a half.”
This was the voice of the mountain ghost ballad. He was indeed at the bottom of the pool.
Therefore, Ye Xuan jumped down.
When Ye Xuan went down, he realized that the pool was unusually deep. When he jumped into the pool, his body was not wet at all. During the process of falling, there was no pressure obstructing him. When he landed on the ground, Mountain Ghost Yao was standing right in front of him, smiling as he said,""You're really amazing. You actually know about this place…"
Before Shan Guiyao could finish speaking, a figure descended from above and pressed down on Ye Xuan's body. "Ah! I'm crushed to death! Come down quickly."
Bi Xiao was the one pressing on Ye Xuan.
"Ah, Ye Xuan, are you okay?" Bi Xiao was shocked by him.
" Bi Xiao, come down quickly. I'm about to die from your sitting…" Ye Xuan moaned. It was already a miracle that he didn't die from jumping down from such a high place.
After Bi Xiao got off Ye Xuan's body, the other three followed suit. Everyone looked around. The environment here was extremely dark. They could only see a few balls of flames floating in the air.
"Teacher, it's too dark here.”
When Mountain Ghost Song heard this, he waved his hand, and the few balls of flames here gradually extinguished. However, the environment did not darken because of this. The surrounding space gradually lit up. The ground they were standing on was a huge stone slab carved with the Eight Trigrams Formation. Upon closer inspection, the entire stone slab was actually translucent. Ye Xuan raised her head and took a look. The darkness from before had actually turned into a vast and resplendent starry sky. It was reflected on the ground and had a unique beauty.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
Mountain Ghost Ballad said," This is the Shattered Void. It's a special training ground for the Four Guardians Heroic Mist. Every hall in Nine Palace Ridge has one. Its origin and appearance are not important. What is important is that you will be conducting your first cultivation here today.”
"Teacher, what is the training mission today?”
"There are two cultivation tasks today. The first task is to walk in front of me.”Mountain Ghost Ballad said.
"Isn't it simple to walk in front of you? I'll go first." Bi Xiao had a confident look on her face, but Ye Xuan shook her head. Being familiar with the plot, he knew that shattering the void wasn't that simple. Back then, Zhan Chi had suffered a great loss here.
As expected, Bi Xiao had just taken a step forward when she was pulled to the ground by a powerful force, unable to move.
" I knew it…"
"What's wrong, Bi Xiao? Aren't you very confident? Hurry up and come over." Mountain Ghost Song teased.
Ruobing, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke,""Didn't you notice? The air here is extremely thin, and the pressure that ordinary people endure here is more than ten times that of the outside world. All we can do now is stay where we are. Once we move, we will immediately be pressed to the ground.”
"Sis, if we don't move, what about the training mission that the teacher gave us?”
Ye Xuan was thinking about the contents of the anime. As far as he knew, the Shattered Void was a special space. Ordinary people could not move freely unless…
"Sigh, looking at your helpless looks, it really gives me a headache.”Shan Guiyao covered his face helplessly." Forget it, let me tell you. In this shattered void, the air is thin and you can only rely on primordial qi to maintain your movement. You can only move freely here after completing the three steps of receiving qi, gathering qi, and releasing qi. This question is to test your mastery of Primordial Qi. Otherwise, do you think that the training of the Heroic Mist is so easy?”
There was a hint of disdain in Shan Gui Yao's words.
Apart from Ye Xuan, Ruobing and the other two immediately began to absorb the Primordial Qi. Then, they gathered the Primordial Qi they had absorbed and released it. After half a minute, the three of them walked up to Mountain Ghost Song one after another. Only Ye Xuan placed her hands behind her back and stood still.
"Hey, Ye Xuan, why are you in a daze? Come over quickly!”Bi Xiao waved at Ye Xuan.
"No, he hasn't started the three steps yet. He can't withstand this pressure.”Mo Xi said.
"Oh, really?" The corners of Ye Xuan's mouth curled up slightly. Under everyone's surprised gazes, she strolled leisurely to the front of Mountain Ghost Song.
