Mortal's Journey: Reborn as Xin Ruyin, she begins by possessing Qi Yun's body.

Qi Yunxiao stood calmly in the crowd, already knowing what was going on, quietly waiting for his test.

"Qi Yunxiao!"

Finally, when his name was called, Qi Yunxiao nodded slightly, suppressed a trace of expectation in his heart, and calmly stepped into the spirit-testing array.

Following Wang Xing's instructions, he cleared his mind of distractions and slowly circulated his spiritual energy, letting it flow along the patterns of the magic array.

The magic circle activated instantly, and a soft white light swept over, completely enveloping his body.

A moment later, the white light faded, and red, blue, and yellow light slowly emerged, corresponding to the three spiritual roots of fire, wood, and earth, just like the previous six people.

Seeing this, Wang Xing was about to announce, "Fire, Wood, and Earth are the three spiritual roots, true spiritual roots, and the aptitude is average," when a sudden change occurred!

Just then, the three-colored light enveloping Qi Yunxiao suddenly twisted, and a dazzling golden light burst forth, instantly overshadowing the red, blue, and yellow colors.

Immediately afterwards, a crimson-gold fire dragon rose from the magic array patterns.

The dragon's body was lithe and agile, its scales and claws clearly defined. Surrounded by intense spiritual energy, it hovered and roamed above the magic array, emitting deep and majestic dragon roars that caused the spiritual energy within the hall to tremble slightly, and made everyone's eardrums buzz.

This strange phenomenon came unexpectedly, both surprising and astonishing. In just a few breaths, the crimson-gold fire dragon gradually faded and dissipated, and the golden light also faded away.

The magic circle returned to its original red, blue, and yellow colors, as if the dragon's roar and fire dragon from before were just an illusion.

The hall fell into a deathly silence. Zhong Lingdao, Wang Xing, and Han Li and the others who were waiting for the test were all dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

A fleeting look of surprise flashed across Han Li's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and regained his composure, though a hint of shock lingered deep within them.

Wang Xing was the first to regain his senses, his voice halting, tinged with shock and confusion: "This...this could be...a spirit? But...but why did it suddenly disappear? I've never seen anything so strange!"

He had cultivated for many years and had seen many strange phenomena, but he had never heard of such fleeting spiritual signs.

Zhong Lingdao took a deep breath, slowly suppressing the shock in his heart. His gaze was fixed on Qi Yunxiao in the magic array, and a trace of solemnity and joy flashed in his eyes.

He slowly said, "Judging from this situation, it seems to be the Dragon Roar Body recorded in ancient books. However, this Dragon Roar Body may not have been fully activated, or it may be an incomplete innate mutation, and is not the complete form of the Dragon Roar Body, which is why the phenomenon is so fleeting."

"No... an incomplete spirit?"

Wang Xing looked completely bewildered and shook his head repeatedly.

"I've never heard of that before. Aren't all spirits born whole?"

"It's normal that my junior brother doesn't know."

Zhong Lingdao explained slowly, his tone tinged with emotion.

"This Dragon Roar Physique is extremely rare. I only learned a little about it by chance in an ancient book of a sect."

"As you know, junior brother, a spirit body is a mutation of a spiritual root, so it is possible that the mutation is incomplete."

"Although an incomplete spirit body is not as powerful as a complete spirit body, it is still far superior to ordinary qualities."

Wang Xing quickly pressed, "Then... then is this incomplete spirit form still useful?"

"Of course it's useful."

Zhong Lingdao nodded emphatically, his tone filled with admiration.

"The Dragon Roar Body is an extremely yang and strong physique, and is considered a relatively powerful spiritual body. It is naturally compatible with fire attribute techniques and is even more powerful than Uncle Li's Three Yang Body."

"Even if he is only incomplete, his speed of cultivating fire-attribute techniques is probably comparable to, or even better than, that of a cultivator with a different spiritual root."

He paused, his gaze falling on Qi Yunxiao, his eyes filled with regret and relief: "He is also lucky, as he happens to be born with a fire spirit root, which complements his Dragon Roar Physique perfectly. In the future, his cultivation will surely be twice as effective with half the effort, and his future will be limitless."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xing's gaze towards Qi Yunxiao instantly filled with intense envy.

Cultivators with unique spiritual roots are already key targets for cultivation by sects. Qi Yunxiao's incomplete Dragon Roar Body actually possesses a cultivation speed comparable to that of cultivators with unique spiritual roots. This opportunity is truly enviable.

Qi Yunxiao, inside the magic circle, remained outwardly calm and composed, but inwardly, a storm was brewing within him.

In fact, he had long suspected from the abnormal speed at which he cultivated the fire attribute technique that the influence of Xin Ruyin's original soul was causing Qi Yunxiao's body to also transform into the Dragon Roar Body, but he had not been able to confirm it until now.

Seeing the extraordinary phenomena of the Dragon Roar Body with his own eyes, even if it is only incomplete, is enough to make him overjoyed.

Being able to keep up with the cultivation speed of those with different spiritual roots, break free from the constraints of ordinary three spiritual roots, and gain more resources and attention in Yellow Maple Valley is enough.

He didn't ask for much, only that he could make steady progress, break through to the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages as soon as possible, and embark on a higher path of cultivation.

As for the complete Dragon Roar Body, perhaps Xin Ruyin's soul will continue to influence the body in the future, and it may be completely transformed.

He slowly withdrew his spiritual energy, stepped out of the magic array, and bowed slightly to Zhong Lingdao and Wang Xing, his expression humble and without any arrogance arising from the strange phenomenon.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind; being too flamboyant will only attract unnecessary trouble.

"Alright, next, Yu Ziguang."

Wang Xing withdrew his envious gaze from Qi Yunxiao, cleared his throat, and continued to pronounce the name.

After witnessing Qi Yunxiao's extraordinary dragon roar, both he and the Zhongling Sect Leader harbored a secret sense of anticipation.

Their gazes were fixed intently on Yu Ziguang, who was about to step into the magic array, hoping that another exceptionally talented person would emerge.

Yu Ziguang took a deep breath, quickly stepped into the spirit-testing array, and activated the array by circulating his spiritual energy.

Amidst the surging white light, it ultimately settled into a tri-colored spiritual light, with red, white, and blue intertwined, clearly representing the three spiritual roots of fire, metal, and water, just like the previous six people.

The expectation in Zhong Lingdao's eyes slowly faded, his expression returned to calm, and he nodded slightly without saying anything more.

Wang Xing also sighed inwardly, and announced the result in a calm tone, his disappointment was self-evident.

The extraordinary phenomenon that Qi Yunxiao had just witnessed was so astonishing that it led them to have unrealistic expectations for the disciples to follow.

The subsequent tests completely extinguished their expectations.

Several disciples stepped into the formation one after another, all emitting three-colored light. They were all of the same three spiritual roots. Although there were slight differences in the concentration of spiritual energy, none of them could reproduce the extraordinary phenomenon of Qi Yunxiao, nor did any of them show any special physique.

In the blink of an eye, only one person remained in the Spirit Testing Hall—Han Li.

Wang Xing glanced at Han Li, then turned to Zhong Lingdao and bowed respectfully, saying, "Sect Leader, the spiritual roots of the remaining ten disciples have been tested. I will take them to the storeroom to collect their entry items and complete the entry procedures without delay."
