Ethan Xiao was so shocked when he heard their ridicule that he was speechless.
"Waste? Are you talking about the master?"
"Master is the Taoist Pufeng who is admired by countless people. How could he be a waste?"
Ethan Xiao vaguely remembered that even his own cultivation talent might change, so his master could not be measured by the standards of his previous life.
Then...Master.
Ethan Xiao looked at the master walking in front of him. He seemed to be oblivious to the ridicule from the people around him. His expression did not change at all. He found a place to stand calmly.
Ethan Xiao calmed down instantly. Her long-term dependence on her master made her full of confidence in him.
The master is not worried, so there will be no problem.
As for these villains, I will deal with them later.
Yes, Ethan Xiao still has some confidence in his talent for cultivation. Even if his spiritual roots are not good, doesn’t he still have soul power?
She had practiced hard for ten years in her previous life, and her soul power had been cultivated to the point where her soul had turned into a sea. As long as she had the opportunity to form a pill, she could form a soul pill that was rare in a century, and her soul power would reach a level that ordinary people could hardly achieve.
So, there's nothing to be afraid of.
As more and more people gathered in the square, the big shot finally showed up at the last minute.
I saw a group of middle-aged men in Chinese clothes surrounding a kind-looking old man who walked onto the stage.
The old man seemed to walk forward calmly. Although his hair was white, his steps were steady. He must be in good health.
"Ahem... Today is our Xiao family's annual talent test for children. This day of every year is an important day that determines your future life. I hope that all the children taking the test today can get good results, but I hope you remember that no matter what your results are, you are all members of my Xiao family. ...Ahem..."
"You're obviously in good health, why did you cough twice?" Ethan Xiao was puzzled.
"Let's get started now!"
The talent test officially begins.
Soul power is a test of pressure. There is a thousand-layer stone staircase at the connection between the square and the ancestral hall. When the test begins, a powerful pressure will be released, which can only be countered by soul power. The tester walks towards the direction of the ancestral hall, and the number of steps he walks represents the strength of his soul power. Compared with the soul monument in the previous life, the test is more accurate, but it is the same principle.
The spiritual root test is the same as in the previous life, using a spirit pillar to test the spiritual roots. Drop a drop of blood into it, and the corresponding spiritual root color will be displayed on the spirit pillar, such as fire spiritual root---red, thunder spiritual root---purple.
The first test to begin was the soul power test.
Ethan Xiao and five other testers walked up to the stage and came to the bottom of the thousand-layer stone staircase.
Looking at this stone staircase that reaches up to the sky, even without the pressure, a thousand steps are enough to choke ordinary people.
"Let's start!" Such a perfunctory start instruction can only be found in this kind of talent test.
After all, there is no such thing as a false start, and there is no time limit. As long as you know you can still get up, it won’t take you more than ten days or half a month.
However, under such strong pressure, if you have no resistance, you will be pushed down the stone stairs immediately, so you can't force it. After all, there is a certain degree of danger anyway.
So you see, even after the competition started, everyone was still walking up slowly, one step at a time, and some even rested enough before going up.
As for Ethan Xiao, looking at the people around her, in order not to attract too much attention, she chose to walk up slowly like them.
To Ethan Xiao, the pressure at the beginning was like nothing to her, so she had nothing to do and just watched the excitement of her opponent.
Looking at these ten-year-old children walking up with gritted teeth and sweat dripping down their backs, Ethan Xiao suddenly felt several years younger.
It's not that the body is younger, it's that the mental age is younger.
Sure enough, spending more time "playing" with children can make people happy.
...
Suddenly, when everyone was exhausted after walking more than 200 steps, Ethan Xiao heard a boy utter a word through his teeth: "I will persist and persist to the end. As long as I reach the top and enter the ancestral hall, I can get the biggest reward in the family."
"What is the biggest reward?"
Ethan Xiao thought about it and felt that no matter what it was, it must be a good thing.
Since it is a good thing, why not take it?
So, he no longer paid attention to these shaky "companions", quickened his pace, and in one breath, he surpassed everyone and walked in the front.
Ethan Xiao's sudden outburst attracted as much attention as a red flower among the green leaves.
In an instant, everyone's attention was attracted.
"Which branch's child is this?" the kind-looking old man who spoke at the beginning asked with admiration.
The middle-aged man next to him replied: "Hey, Patriarch, he's Nathan Xiao's apprentice."
"Is he the disciple of Nathan Xiao?" the Patrick Leader asked in surprise.
"Yes."
"What a pity." The patriarch shook his head, not knowing what he felt sorry for or why.
The test entered a heated stage. On the one hand, half of the people, that is, three people, had been kicked off the stone stairs. Only Nathan Xiao and two boys gritted their teeth and persevered. On the other hand, Nathan Xiao had already passed 500 steps.
Five hundred steps is a big hurdle. Nowadays, ninety percent of the tribesmen cannot reach this result, but Nathan Xiao passed it easily, and judging from his condition, he still has the energy to move on.
This shocked everyone, including the master.
Master: "When did my apprentice become so good? Isn't it very difficult for her to memorize a book?"
Strong soul power is beneficial in many aspects. It not only increases the speed of cultivation, but also improves memory.
"So... this brat is deliberately not studying well!" the master laughed dangerously.
Nathan Xiao shuddered for no reason.
...
Soon, Nathan Xiao arrived at the 700th step.
"This girl has great talent!" exclaimed the patriarch.
"Yes, how about changing her master?" The middle-aged man on the side had an idea about Nathan Xiao.
The Patrick Leader looked at him, not knowing whether he agreed or not, and said cryptically: "No matter what, this is a good seedling, we must cultivate it well, regardless of whether she is the bloodline of my Xiao family or not, do you understand?"
"Yes, I will definitely keep it in mind." The man replied respectfully, but the moment he turned around, his originally respectful expression turned into a determined posture.
"That loser from the direct lineage actually got such a treasure, I must get it, if I can't, I will destroy it." The man made up his mind, "As for that loser, if I destroy his only chance of a comeback, he will be completely defeated!"
"Hahaha..."
