Chapter 82: Bone Age Test

The four Elder stewards glanced at each other, then separated, each taking their own position.

Testing bone age was simple; a brilliant golden compass appeared in front of each of the four stewards. As the compasses were activated, a golden mist emerged from them.

Unless one's cultivation had reached above the Xuandan Realm, or one possessed a supreme treasure, there was no way to alter one's own bone age…

"Line up at the back, and come forward one by one."

Over a hundred Outer Sect Disciples began to organize themselves, speaking loudly, though this was only directed at the ordinary youths.

When dealing with people like Nangong Lingxuan, Shan Yanghui, and Xiao Fan, their attitudes were always very polite.

In the crowd, Xiao Fan also saw Shen An…

This person had accepted one hundred Spirit Stones from Zhu Gang before arranging No. 9 Courtyard for them at the time.

Actually, thinking about it now, there weren't many people who came then; many of the Prodigies hadn't arrived yet.

Those who had arrived also knew that while it was easy to enter the courtyard, it was hard to hold onto it, and they might even get beaten up… so without some strength, no one went there.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have been able to arrange it for the two of them.

Shen An seemed to notice Xiao Fan's gaze… and lowered his head in some shame, not daring to meet his eyes.

Although Xiao Fan had not yet joined the Jixian Sect, he already had some fame in the waiting area.

Just the fact that He Yutang had spoken up for Xiao Fan was enough to prove Xiao Fan's worth.

Not to mention the commotion during his cultivation Breakthrough, and that cross-level battle with Shan Yanghui…

All of these revealed how extraordinary Xiao Fan was.

Shen An was even wondering if he should find an opportunity to return the Spirit Stones, fearing that Xiao Fan might take revenge later.

In fact, Xiao Fan didn't care about these things; instead, he felt that the courtyard for one hundred Spirit Stones was actually quite nice to live in…

One by one, people walked forward to be tested…

When a figure stood before the golden compass, the golden mist on the compass would change, eventually condensing into a row of numbers. These numbers represented the person's bone age, which was their actual age.

The Jixian Sect did not have high requirements for the age of its Disciples; anyone under thirty could join.

Xiao Fan and Zhu Gang stood together, with at least five hundred people in front of him…

Meanwhile, Nangong Lingxuan, Shan Yanghui, and Li Dong were not standing in the same long line as him.

Li Dong would look back at Xiao Fan from time to time. He was twenty years old this year and had already reached the seventh level of the Huaqi Realm; he was definitely a rare Genius.

Even Shan Yanghui was twenty-one years old this year.

This was also the only place where he could currently find some self-confidence in front of Xiao Fan…

At least in his opinion, Xiao Fan should be in his twenties.

Not because of his appearance, but because Xiao Fan's personality was overly mature.

In his view, he would be able to surpass the other party in a few years.

Although they were several hundred meters away from the testing area, for a Cultivator at the seventh level of the Huaqi Realm, this distance was nothing, and they could see everything very clearly.

Upon reaching the Huaqi Realm, although one could not fly, burrow into the ground, or regrow severed limbs, all of one's sensory functions surpassed those of ordinary mortals.

Vision, hearing, strength, and so on, were all far superior to ordinary people.

Soon, it was Shan Yanghui's turn. He strode forward, and as a Prodigy, he naturally attracted the attention of others.

The golden compass glowed, with a faint golden light floating above it, which finally condensed into two numbers: 21.

There were many gasps of surprise from those around; after all, reaching the eighth level of the Huaqi Realm at twenty-one was definitely that of a Genius.

Even He Yutang's gaze lingered on Shan Yanghui for a while longer.

Shan Yanghui's expression was indifferent; it wasn't the first time he had been the subject of such attention.

After Shan Yanghui finished, it wasn't long before it was Nangong Lingxuan's turn. Dressed in white, combined with her icy and stunning face, she naturally attracted the gaze of everyone around.

Usually, few people dared to stare at her openly, so this was a great opportunity to do so legitimately.

Nangong Lingxuan walked to the golden compass and stood there expressionless, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

Golden light emerged, slowly condensing into two characters: 18.

Seeing this number, the crowd immediately erupted into an uproar…

An eighteen-year-old at the eighth level of the Huaqi Realm?

And it was said that her strength was the greatest among everyone present!

"My god, Nangong Lingxuan is too much of a Prodigy; she is actually only eighteen!"

"Eighteen years old… and already at the eighth level of the Huaqi Realm, she is a real Prodigy…"

"It looks like the first place in this Outer Sect selection will definitely be Nangong Lingxuan…"

Even the look He Yutang gave Nangong Lingxuan carried a hint of praise, which represented his approval of her.

Xiao Fan was also extremely surprised; he knew she was strong, but he hadn't expected her to be this strong…

An eighteen-year-old at the eighth level of the Huaqi Realm, and Xiao Fan sensed that she seemed to have reached the Great Perfection of the eighth level and could break through to the ninth level…

If all went smoothly, she might even be able to advance to the Tongtian Realm before the age of twenty…

A Tongtian Realm powerhouse at twenty years old—just thinking about it felt terrifying.

Zhu Gang, standing on the side, was so shocked his jaw almost dropped…

Li Dong curled his lips; although he was shocked inside, he acted unconvinced on the surface.

Soon, it was Li Dong's turn. Before the test, he deliberately turned his head to look at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan also noticed Li Dong; he also wanted to know how old Li Dong was this year.

It wasn't that he was curious about Li Dong's talent, but rather that he felt the other party didn't have much brainpower…

He wanted to see if it was because he was young and immature.

As someone from the Li family, Li Dong was also at the seventh level of the Huaqi Realm, so quite a few people were paying attention to him.

The golden compass glowed, and the golden mist on it slowly condensed, eventually turning into two large characters: 20.

There were many surprised people around again; reaching the seventh level of the Huaqi Realm at twenty, while not as stunning as Nangong Lingxuan, was undoubtedly that of a Genius.

Li Dong was very satisfied with the surprised expressions of those around him. While secretly pleased with himself, he didn't forget to provoke Xiao Fan with a fierce gaze.

It seemed as if he wanted to say: "I am still young, just wait and see in a few years…"

Xiao Fan naturally wouldn't have guessed the other party's meaning…

He was just curious, the other party was already twenty years old?

How could he still be so brainless…

Xiao Fan hadn't met Li Dong many times; this was only the third time.

However, from the words Li Dong said when they first met, and the second time when he openly questioned things despite knowing there was an expert present, from these two points, Xiao Fan concluded that this Li Dong definitely wasn't very bright…

The line continued to move forward, and half an hour later, it was Xiao Fan's turn.

Xiao Fan was also a focal point of attention among the crowd at this Outer Sect Disciple selection.

The title of The Terror was not given for nothing.

Moreover, his battle record was quite astonishing, having fought Shan Yanghui one-on-one without being defeated.

The commotion caused by his cultivation Breakthrough was even more spectacular.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Fan walked step by step to the golden compass.

Li Dong with a sneer on his face, Shan Yanghui with a solemn expression, and the icy Nangong Lingxuan—their gazes were all focused on Xiao Fan.

The steward responsible for operating the compass began to activate it, and the golden light emerged from it.

Xiao Fan felt a Divine Sense instantly sweep over him, and then it withdrew…

The golden mist slowly condensed into two large, brilliant golden characters: 19.
