The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Pushee: "What nonsense are you spouting? What death-related stuff? Spit it out, it's bad luck!"

Chi Miao: "Oh, I thought I was going to go back to my old ways."

Pushee: "What old profession?"

Chi Miao: "I'm quite skilled at handling my own funeral, from the burial ceremony to the banquet."

Pushee: "..."

"?"

What is that?

This little guy's brain doesn't seem to be quite normal.

……

Soon, the test stone was brought up.

Compared to what Chi Miao saw at Nine Swords Mountain, it was on a completely different level.

The testing stone from Nine Swords Mountain is just a small piece, small enough to hold in your hand.

And this Golden Buddha Temple... is even taller than Chi Miaoren, and its material is more translucent and its workmanship is more exquisite.

Chi Miao asked in a low voice, "Is our Nine Swords Mountain very poor? Why don't our testing stones look like this?"

Jin Shengfei pondered, "Compared to this, we are indeed very poor. How about my Jin family finds a channel to exclusively sponsor our clan? We can't let ourselves be poor!"

Ying Wuhuo rubbed his forehead with one hand: "This testing stone is one of the treasures of the Golden Buddha Temple, a Heavenly-grade treasure called the Rebirth Mirror, which can directly test all the talent information of a person through the depths of their soul."

Jin Shengfei fell silent: "Then... then I've disturbed you."

This is something we really can't afford to sponsor.

The most prized possession of Jinfo Temple is something the Jin family, no matter how rich, could not afford.

Chi Miao looked at the Mirror of Rebirth thoughtfully.

"Tsk."

Upon hearing that "tsk," Ying Wuhuo had a bad feeling: "You're not thinking something again, are you? I advise you to behave yourself outside, otherwise if they don't indulge you, we can't save you."

Chi Miao said, "I was just wondering... are Heaven-level treasures resistant to explosions?"

Ying Wuhuo: "???"

Why do you ask that?

Chi Miao smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was just asking."

If it doesn't withstand the explosion, she won't have the money to compensate.

Ying Wuhuo stared at Chi Miao, suddenly having a bad feeling.

"I'll emphasize this one last time: this is the most precious treasure of Jinfo Temple."

Don't do anything reckless.

This is something you can't do carelessly.

Gou Shi System: "I think you can rest assured most of the time. Most Heaven-level magic treasures will give birth to a weapon spirit, and as long as there is enough soul power, they can be restored."

"Take your Weeping Sword for example. Even if you don't actively feed it, it's slowly recovering and is about to unlock a new skill."

Chi Miao was relieved after hearing this.

The people standing nearby were already starting to look forward to it.

"I tested it before. Since Miaohua Continent was upgraded, my root value has increased from seventy-nine to eighty-three! A qualitative leap! I wonder which of those true geniuses will become the number one in talent after the upgrade."

"I'm guessing it's Jingming; he was the first person to achieve that, with a ninety-five-point Earth Spiritual Root—the only one in the world with that!

"It's hard to say. What if the others improve even more?"

"Is no one guessing it's Chi Miao?"

"What's there to guess about Chi Miao? Among those prodigies, she's the only one with a root value of 89, not even reaching 90. Her comprehension far surpasses the others."

"Huh? She's really eighty-nine... But she's at the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment stage! How could she do that without extraordinary talent? And wasn't it said that the testing stone exploded back then, so there wasn't an accurate value at all!"

Everyone turned to look at Chi Miao as soon as the matter was mentioned.

That's right.

What if that score of 89 is fake?

"So, how much true talent does Chi Miao possess?"

As the only person in the entire cultivation world to have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, she has already accomplished so many earth-shattering feats at such a young age, so her talent information is naturally what everyone is most concerned about.

Everyone was staring at Chi Miao.

"Achoo!"

Chi Miao coughed and rubbed his nose: "Looks like someone's eyeing my good looks."

Everyone: "?"

They really put people in a state of silence.

With everyone eager to try, Pushee finally spoke:

"Please line up and come forward for the test one by one."

"yes!"

Then everyone simultaneously—

Take a step back!

Pushee: "?"

"What are you doing?!"

Everyone: "Report! The leader gets priority!"

Pushe's fist hardened: "Don't you have any backbone? Aren't you even curious about your own true talents?!"

What's wrong with the prodigies of this era?

Not all of those who can train here are top-notch, but the elite are the threshold; none of them are useless.

Back in their day, everyone was fiercely competitive, wanting to be number one in everything. What's wrong with these kids now?

You're so disappointing!

Someone asked, "Aren't you curious about the talents of those leading figures?"

Pushee: "...cough."

He turned to look at the leaders.

The leaders decided to take a step back.

Just at this time.

Chi Miao sensed something was wrong.

Without saying a word, she immediately unleashed a beam of merit.

thump!

Everyone knelt down one after another.

Chi Miao slowly retreated behind everyone before deactivating the light of merit.

Chi Miao: "Wow, you guys are so enthusiastic. Since that's the case, I won't compete with you. I'll be last."

Everyone: "???"

Damn it! Someone cheated! In this fair competition, you actually used a control skill!

However, they had no choice but to accept this loss. If they disagreed, Chi Miao would definitely use his magic to make them agree.

Among the countless geniuses of the Sword Sect, only Chi Miao truly achieved the unity of humanity and wickedness.

Pushee's punch was really hard this time.

"I can forgive the others, but what's wrong with you leaders? Is testing your talent something to be ashamed of?!"

"What, are you guys that incompetent?!"

This is infuriating!

The others also fell silent. If Chi Miao hadn't been there, they would have definitely started the test without worry.

The problem is that Chi Miao is here.

Everyone wants to know just how extraordinary Chi Miao's true talent is.

Then Chi Miao retorted, "Exactly! Are you guys that incompetent? I'm 89 and I feel ashamed to stand next to you. What are you doing?!"

"He lacks even the slightest bit of the spirit that a top-tier prodigy should have!"

Suddenly, everything went black.

Why don't you try calling again?

Finally, Ying Wuhuo stepped forward: "Let me go first."

He walked to the mirror of rebirth and placed his palm on it.

In an instant, the Mirror of Rebirth shone brightly.

All the talent information belonging to Ying Wuhuo has appeared.

[Innate Sword Soul, Proficient in Swordsmanship]

[The extremely Yin body has been harmonized, and its spiritual power contains extremely Yin energy.]

[Ice-type spiritual root]

[Root value: ninety-nine]

[Soul Power: Three Hundred Floors of the Heavenly Ladder]

[Recommendation: Focus on swordsmanship, master the art of swordsmanship, and you can reach the pinnacle.]

Upon seeing this, everyone gasped in shock.

Immediately, all the voices erupted, and no one could remain calm.

"Holy crap?! Really?! A root value of ninety-nine?! This... this is the highest record in the entire cultivation world, only Tianbei Immortal's ninety-seven. This has even broken Tianbei Immortal's record?"

"That's ridiculous... Is there a mistake?!"

"Is the power of Heaven's Blessing for Advancement really that strong? You know, there are other ways to increase one's root value before, but the higher the root value, the less affected one is. This... he actually increased it by five points from a base of ninety-four? Is he defying the heavens?!"

It's unbelievable.

The other leaders all focused their attention at that moment and couldn't help but tense up.

With a root value of ninety-nine, it means that Ying Wuhuo's talent... has reached its peak.

Even the most perfect spiritual root can never be 100% pure and clear.

Spiritual roots are used to absorb spiritual energy and also to withstand it.

Ninety-nine percent of the roots are the limit of spiritual roots.

The theory is complex, but the conclusion is as follows.

Even Ying Wuhuo himself was extremely surprised, and his fingers trembled.

His pupils trembled.

He stared at himself in disbelief: "How could this be...?"

When Miaohuazhou was promoted, he could clearly sense that his talent had increased, but it would never be this exaggerated.

Apart from that, he hasn't had any other special adventures recently.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and someone.

He turned his head stiffly, looking at Chi Miao little by little, a guess forming in his mind.

No way?
