Thick, five-colored lightning bolts spilled from the spirit stone, attracting thunder.

Dark clouds pressed down heavily, so thick they were almost suffocating. The sky darkened rapidly, thunder roared, and lightning flashed.

The disciples from the outer mountain looked curiously at the dark cloud covering the inner mountain: "What happened?"

"Where did this lightning come from! Protect the disciples—"

The sect leader and elders each displayed their unique abilities, using magical artifacts and affixing talismans, ensuring that not a single disciple was injured.

The law enforcement elders protected Ning Yue, who hid in the sky, but Ning Yue didn't feel very safe.

Just as she was about to suggest finding another place to hide, she saw the law enforcement elder looking at her with a complicated expression.

"Wow, you're that strong!"

Ning Yue silently glanced at the shattered spirit stone, then at the lightning flashing across the sky.

I guessed it; it was probably my own fault.

Elder Danxiu, Elder Array Formation, and Elder Talisman were closest to the spirit stone and couldn't dodge in time, so they were completely struck by lightning.

The three men, their faces covered in soot, looked up at the law enforcement officers in mid-air.

The law enforcement elder made a face at the three people on the ground.

The three men's veins bulged simultaneously; forced by the situation, they went to protect the disciples in the hall.

Ning Yue was worried for the law enforcement elder.

Ji Liyan glanced thoughtfully at Ning Yue, then stepped forward to examine the shattered spirit stone.

Five tiny lightning bolts were swinging back and forth within the spirit stone.

He tried to infuse it with spiritual energy, but the five small lightning bolts were too powerful, and his spiritual energy couldn't penetrate them.

It seems the only option is to let Ning Yue step down.

When Ning Yue first left the sword cultivator training ground, the law enforcement elder had already told Ji Feng about Ning Yue's talent.

Therefore, Ning Yue's entry into two more trial grounds was tacitly approved by the sect leader, who wanted to see what she could achieve.

The result shocked everyone.

He displayed unimaginable talent as soon as he came into contact with sword cultivation, alchemy cultivation, and array cultivation.

Without a doubt, she is a genius that comes along only once in a millennium.

I just didn't expect that Ning Yue would actually have five spiritual roots, judging from the current situation.

Five spiritual roots, each of which is of the highest quality.

I've never heard of such a thing before.

Although those with five spiritual roots are few, they do exist. However, because their spiritual roots are too mixed, they are unable to cultivate and are called cultivation waste.

But Ning Yue not only has five spiritual roots, but each of them is of the highest quality, and he also seems to have overcome the difficulties of cultivation.

It's to the point that even if you told people, they might not believe you.

But it is the truth.

Ning Yue's lips twitched, and he tugged at the sleeve of the law enforcement elder in front of him: "...Um, let me down."

The law enforcement elder had been waiting for her to say those words, and as soon as she opened her mouth, he eagerly sheathed his sword.

"Get down!"

Ning Yue walked towards the spirit stones with a black line on his face, while also having to dodge the lightning that struck from time to time.

Ji Liyan walked over slowly, and the lightning bolts beside him seemed to consciously avoid him.

"I'll take you there," Ji Liyan said slowly.

Ning Yue couldn't be happier and immediately nodded, "Okay, okay!"

It wasn't Ning Yue's imagination; Lightning really did avoid Ji Liyan!

A bolt of lightning just struck; it was incredibly fast.

Ning Yue subconsciously thought of Ji Liyan beside him, so he didn't take any defensive action.

Ji Liyan's eyes were devoid of emotion as he glanced up at the lightning bolt that was striking straight down.

The lightning bolt abruptly bent in mid-air and struck to the side.

Surprisingly, it actually makes me feel quite safe.

Ning Yue looked up at Ji Liyan beside him, and Ji Liyan lowered his eyes to meet Ning Yue's gaze.

"What's wrong?"

Ning Yue shook his head and continued looking ahead: "It's nothing."

It's not far; it's just a few steps away.

Ning Yue looked down at the five-colored lightning bolts that kept moving within the shattered spirit stone.

Try reaching out your hand.

The five-colored lightning bolts paused for a moment, then surprisingly came closer affectionately.

Ji Liyan, standing to the side, wore an expression that said, "I knew it."

Ning Yue grabbed Little Lightning, but before he could get a good look at it, Little Lightning disappeared into Ning Yue's palm with a "sizzle".

Ning Yue: "...It just disappeared?"

At the same time, the thunder and lightning in Uchiyama finally subsided.

The disciples hid in groups behind the elders, and the braver ones used all their skills to protect themselves and their companions.

However, without prior arrangement, all the disciples in the arena turned their gazes toward Ning Yue with intense interest.

Ning Yue shrank back behind Ji Liyan sheepishly: "...You're not going to cause me trouble, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Liyan chuckled and spread out his robe to cover half of Ning Yue's body.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

……

"Holy crap, am I seeing things? Ning Yue has five spiritual roots?!"

"...You read that right. Not only that, all five of her spiritual roots are of the Heavenly Rank."

"Holy crap, that's awesome!!!"

Although the spirit stone was broken, the message it was meant to convey was still delivered.

—For example, Ning Yue's talent and spiritual root level.

Therefore, everyone in the arena knew Ning Yue's qualifications.

The fact that the spirit stone shattered means it couldn't withstand Ning Yue's talent.

and……

It also attracted such a massive lightning strike.

The disciples in the arena gasped in disbelief, unable to comprehend just how terrifying Ning Yue's strength was.

Because the spirit stone shattered unexpectedly, the remaining disciples can only wait until tomorrow to take the test.

But no one complained, and they respectfully watched Ning Yue being taken away by the sect leader and the elders.

Ning Yue was extremely frightened.

She wouldn't really ask him for compensation, would she? She's truly penniless right now!

He still had some money left in his pocket, given to him by Qi Xucheng and Shi Yinghan.

Ning Yue clutched her pocket tightly; this little bit probably wouldn't be enough.

Several elders stood on the highest platform, surrounding Sect Master Ji Feng, while Ji Liyan stood to one side.

She smiled slightly at Ning Yue.

Ning Yue: "..."

Stop laughing, bro. No matter how good your laugh is, it can't change the fact that you have to pay for the damaged item.

"Ning Yue—"

The sect leader called her name.

"...Huh?" Ning Yue paused for a moment before answering.

"Would you like to become the direct disciple of the Enforcement Elder, and have him teach you swordsmanship from now on?"

Of course, you can study at other schools of thought; I won't stop you, as long as you can manage it.

Ning Yue was stunned for a moment.

The sect leader frowned slightly: "Don't you like sword cultivation and want to learn something else? Then I won't stop you..."

The law enforcement elder almost cried out—

"She likes it! How could she not like it?!"

Ning Yue spoke up promptly, though hesitantly, "...Spirit stones, and the damage to the venue, you don't want me to compensate for that?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the hall erupted in laughter.

"What are you thinking? Of course, I don't need your compensation," the sect leader said with a smile.

"You don't need to pay for the repairs; the sect can afford it."

The elder in charge of law enforcement slapped his forehead: "So that's why you haven't said a word the whole way, girl. You were worried about this."

Since Ning Yue didn't have to compensate her, she became unrestrained and fully regained her previous vitality.

"Then I am willing to become the direct disciple of the Law Enforcement Elder."

The enforcer was delighted and gave Ning Yue the jade token of his direct disciple, which he had carefully prepared, along with a pink tassel.

He was very satisfied: "A girl your age should wear this color. I specially chose the tassels. What do you think?"

Is it good-looking? Don't underestimate it; it also has defensive capabilities.

"Wow—" Ning Yue took it, showering it with emotional support: "It's so beautiful, Master, you have such good taste!"

The law enforcement elder was completely taken aback by the flattery.

He happily took out a bunch of things from his pocket and stuffed them into Ning Yue's hands.
