I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

"To be an enemy of your Shangguan family?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Bingning's lips curled into a cold smile, and the chill around her intensified, as if even the space around her was about to freeze.

"What a fine family the Shangguan are! What a fine friend they are!"

"He hurt my sister! Today, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn't save him!"

Two proud daughters of Cangxuan Prefecture confront each other in public over a man!

This dramatic scene left all the onlookers dumbfounded, and at the same time, they became even more curious about Chu Feng's identity.

Just who is this guy? How could Shangguan Liuli be willing to break ties with the Hanyue Sect to protect him?

Situ Changkong, standing to the side, looked even more ashen-faced. He gazed at Chu Feng, surrounded by two stunning beauties, and the flames of jealousy nearly consumed his reason.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense, as if an earth-shattering battle could erupt at any moment.

Just then.

"That's enough!"

An aged yet majestic voice, like a resounding bell, boomed in everyone's ears.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying pressure as vast as the sea descended from the sky, instantly suppressing the auras of Gong Bingning and Shangguan Liuli.

Everyone looked up and saw several white-haired elders dressed in the robes of the Cangxuan Academy, who had somehow become suspended in mid-air. The elder in the lead had piercing eyes as he surveyed the entire scene.

"This is the place where my Cangxuan Academy recruits students, not an arena for your fierce battles!"

"Any grudges or disputes, settle them on the life-or-death arena after you enter the academy! Now, all of you better behave yourselves!"

Gong Bingning and Shangguan Liuliu exchanged a glance, and finally each let out a cold snort and slowly suppressed their auras.

They knew that even the forces behind them had to give them some face on Cangxuan Academy's territory.

Seeing this, the elder nodded in satisfaction and announced loudly, "The time has come! The recruitment of new students for this year's Cangxuan Academy is about to begin!"

His voice echoed throughout the venue, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

The recruitment rules are as follows!

"Anyone whose talent reaches the 'Superior' level in the talent test can join my Cangxuan Academy as a regular student!"

Those who achieve the "Rare" talent level can become elite students!

Those who reach the 'Supreme' level of talent can become core students and be personally instructed by the academy's elders!

"As for..." the elder paused, a hint of anticipation and longing flashing in his eyes, "if anyone can reach the legendary 'Sacred Grade' talent, they will directly become a 'Supreme Student' of my Cangxuan Academy, personally taught by the Dean, free from any of the academy's rules, and enjoy the academy's most generous resources!"

These words caused a stir in the entire venue!

The dean personally teaches! No rules or regulations apply!

What a supreme honor this is!

"What does this talent mean?" Chu Feng asked Shangguan Liuli beside him, somewhat confused.

Shangguan Liuli patiently explained, "Cangxuan Academy has an ancient 'Talent Testing Stone.' As long as you pour all your spiritual power into it, it will emit different colors of light depending on your talent level."

"From lowest to highest, they are white representing 'common quality,' cyan representing 'good quality,' blue representing 'superior quality,' red representing 'rare quality,' purple representing 'exquisite quality,' and gold representing 'sacred quality.'"

"As for the Saint-grade, it is said that there is a legendary 'Divine-grade' that is only seen once every ten thousand years, but that is just a legend and no one has ever reached it."

Shangguan Liuli added, "According to past records, the highest talent level was only 'Exquisite.' Throughout the thousands of years of Cangxuan Academy's history, only three people have ever reached the 'Saintly' level of talent."

"I see."

Chu Feng stroked his chin, a hint of curiosity arising about his own talent.

"Test begins!"

With a command from the elder, he waved his sleeve, and a massive, three-zhang-high, jet-black rock, exuding an ancient and weathered aura, crashed down in the center of the plaza.

"I'll go first!"

An impatient young man rushed forward, took a deep breath, gathered all his spiritual power into his fist, and slammed it hard into the talent testing stone.

hum!

The talent testing stone trembled slightly and emitted a faint cyan light.

"Talent 'Good'? Not up to par. Next!" the elder announced expressionlessly.

The young man's face turned ashen, and he retreated dejectedly.

Next, one after another, the prodigies stepped forward to test, most of them emitting cyan and white light, while a few occasionally emitted blue light, which drew envious exclamations.

"Talent 'Superior', qualified!"

Just then, Situ Changkong sneered, glanced at Chu Feng, and his eyes were full of provocation and disdain.

"Kid, today I'll show you the difference between you and me!"

After saying that, he strode forward, his aura surging, and slammed his palm hard onto the talent testing stone!

boom!

The talent testing stone trembled violently, and a dazzling crimson light shot into the sky!

"Talent 'Rare'! Not bad, worthy of being an elite!" A hint of approval finally appeared on the elder's face.

"Hahahaha!" Situ Changkong laughed triumphantly, looking at Chu Feng provocatively as if to say: See? This is the difference between you and me!

However, Chu Feng still didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

Situ Changkong's laughter stopped abruptly. He felt as if he had punched a cotton ball, and his face instantly turned extremely ugly.

"snort!"

At this moment, the willful girl from the Cold Moon Sect also stepped forward and struck out with her palm. The testing stone shone with a crimson light comparable to that of Situ Changkong, indicating that she also possessed a rare talent.

Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shangguan Liuli moved gracefully and slowly walked to the testing stone.

She stretched out her slender hand and gently placed it on the stone.

Om-! ! !

A purple light, several times stronger than that of Situ Changkong and the others before, suddenly erupted! The light was noble and mysterious, as if it would dye the sky purple!

"Purple...purple light! This is a top-tier talent!"

"My God! As expected of the Shangguan family's pride and joy, she actually possesses a legendary, unparalleled talent!"

The entire venue erupted in cheers!

The elders on the high platform were extremely excited, and their eyes were filled with undisguised admiration and affection as they looked at Shangguan Liuli.

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Top-notch talent! You can directly enter the core of my academy!" The elder clapped his hands and laughed.

Despite the astonishment of the crowd, Shangguan Liuli's pretty face remained completely calm. She simply stepped back, her gaze unconsciously glancing at Chu Feng.

Then, Gong Bingning also went up.

She also extended her jade-like hand and placed it on the testing stone.

In an instant, another dazzling purple light shot into the sky!

However, unlike Shangguan Liuli, Gong Bingning's purple light faintly shimmered with a golden halo, which quickly disappeared but was still noticed by those with sharp eyes.

"This...this could be...a half-step Saint-grade item?"

The elders were shocked once again. The way they looked at Gong Bingning was even more intense than when they looked at Shangguan Liuliu.

"This girl's talent surpasses even that of the maids from the Shangguan family! Her future is limitless!"

As both exceptional talents displayed their extraordinary abilities, the atmosphere at the scene reached a climax.

All eyes turned to the last person remaining in the room.

Chu Feng.

"Kid, it's your turn!" Situ Changkong crossed his arms, looking at Chu Feng with a mocking expression. "What? Are you scared? Scared that you'll find out you have only mortal talent and embarrass yourself in front of everyone?"

Chu Feng picked at his ear and slowly walked over under the watchful eyes of everyone.

He arrived in front of the talent testing stone, too lazy to even strike a pose, and simply threw a punch at it.

The talent test stone lit up.

A pure white light shone forth...

An eerie silence instantly fell over the entire venue.
