It turns out, they were the main characters.

For someone as proud as Mu Zhian, this would probably be hard to accept... Lan Mulian glanced at Mu Zhian subconsciously, but found that he did not show any disappointment on his face. He was just staring at the stone tablet, seemingly thinking about something.

Lan Mulian pursed her cherry lips, wondering how best to start the conversation.

At that moment, she suddenly saw a relieved smile on Mu Zhi'an's face.

Mu Zhian was naturally not disappointed; on the contrary, he was pleasantly surprised.

After his palm touched the stone tablet, Mu Zhian felt a connection with it. He could clearly sense that the tablet was not responding because his luck was ordinary, but because a wisp of spiritual energy was not enough to make the tablet show its original radiance.

This means that one's luck is likely to be so great that the testing monument would be unable to complete the test with just a wisp of spiritual energy.

Seeing that the stone tablet remained completely still, a slight commotion arose among the audience.

"The eldest son of the Mu family has the same luck as an ordinary person...? I thought he would at least have a red aura."

The test monument can reveal five types of fortune, ranging from black, which signifies absolute bad luck, to "nothing" for ordinary people, as well as red, purple, and gold.

Generally speaking, the crown prince and the reigning emperor, who are part of the royal family, will show a purple light in their test results.

This is the purple aura of the emperor.

As for the golden light, that is extremely rare.

In the past, the sect had conducted so many assessments, and most people had never seen the golden light. But today, they saw it twice!

On the contrary, Mu Zhian, whom they had initially held some expectations for, disappointed them.

I thought that this young master of the Mu family was at least a lucky person, but to my surprise, the test monument remained completely unresponsive.

Watching this scene, Ye Yu's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

Although Mu Zhian's final test result wasn't black light, which left him somewhat disappointed, the fact that it was just ordinary luck should help Lingxuan and the others to recognize some of the truth.

—His potential is far greater than that of Mu Zhian.

It's not just talent, but also luck.

Ye Yu subconsciously looked at the two girls not far ahead. Ye Lingxuan's gaze remained calm as she stared at the platform, while Ye Qian beside her had a hint of worry in her eyes as she stared intently at the boy on the platform.

This scene stung Ye Yu like a needle, and the jealousy within him burned uncontrollably.

This chosen one was unaware that girls are blind to the opposite sex they like.

Let alone the level of an ordinary cultivator that Mu Zhian tested today, even if Mu Zhian had tested a completely unlucky black light today, they would not have disliked him, but would have comforted him afterwards.

Who knows, Mu Zhian might take that opportunity to kiss Ye Qian and hold her hand as well.

Ye Yu frowned, looked up at the young man on the platform, and said loudly, "Young Master Mu, now that the test is over, come down."

Mu Zhian ignored Ye Yu and looked at Lan Mulian beside him. Seeing that she was silently watching him, he couldn't help but secretly transmit his voice and say, "Senior sister, my luck is very great. Can the test monument withstand it?"

What is this guy up to now...? Lan Mulian raised an eyebrow and looked at Mu Zhian with suspicion.

He nodded silently and transmitted his voice, "It's alright."

Mu Zhian withdrew his gaze, slightly adjusted the cauldron within his body, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

The test is only just beginning.

Mu Zhian stretched out his palm and pushed it against the stone tablet, pouring a stream of spiritual energy into it in one go.

In that instant, the dark stone tablet trembled slightly.

The whispers that had been going on suddenly fell silent.

They all realized what was happening.

...It seems that Mu Zhian's test is not over yet?!

Lan Mulian stared at the test monument with equal surprise and uncertainty.

She was an extremely intelligent woman, and upon seeing this scene, she realized that Mu Zhian was probably not just unlucky, but that the wisp of spiritual energy he had just used was insufficient to complete the test.

How much luck must he possess?!

As the dark stone tablet quietly lit up, Mu Zhian felt the soft light shining on his face and glanced casually at the audience below.

Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian were both somewhat dazed, their eyes fixed on the stone tablet on the platform.

But in a shadowy corner, Wei Mengrou looked at him with a strange expression.

Mu Zhian's gaze finally fell on Ye Yu, who was staring at the stone tablet on the platform with a look of disbelief on his face.

It's no wonder Ye Yu was so surprised; even Mu Zhi'an himself never imagined he would have such great fortune.

Judging from the light, it's probably golden, just like Ye Yu and Ye Lingxuan... Mu Zhian turned his head slightly and casually glanced at the stone tablet behind him.

At this moment, the dark stone tablet emitted a soft, non-glaring pink light, which almost completely enveloped it.

Mu Zhian was slightly stunned.

How come there's still pink luck...?

Suddenly, someone whispered:

"Strange... why can I sense Bai Ruoxi's spiritual energy in the light?"

Bai Ruoxi had made a move in front of the martial arts arena before, and many people saw it, so they could naturally judge what kind of spiritual energy Bai Ruoxi possessed.

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly, staring at the stone tablet that emitted a pink glow.

That's right... The light emanating from this stone tablet not only contained Mu Zhian's own spiritual energy, but also Bai Ruoxi's spiritual energy mixed in.

Lan Mulian narrowed her eyes slightly, staring silently at the test monument.

This is interesting...

Chapter 82 The Grand Show Begins (4.5K)

Hua'an Teahouse is located near Yangfeng Inn and also close to the martial arts arena.

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent robe was sitting in front of a clean and elegant pavilion outside the teahouse, stroking his beard and looking down at the high platform. Beside him was Gongsun Ping, the acting patriarch of the Gongsun family.

To be precise, he was a puppet clan leader whom Gongsun Xiong put in the open.

Not far from Gongsun Ping was the crude and uncouth warrior, who was also Bai's father, the patriarch of the Bai family.

In addition, the patriarchs or elders of nearly ten families in Tianxuan City are located here.

After all, this is a sect assessment held every few years, and this year their offspring are also participating in the test, so all the families are naturally very concerned about this matter.

"This nephew Mu is quite interesting. Others either have bad luck or just ordinary luck, but he actually tested a pink light." Master Huang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and suddenly said with a chuckle.

"I have traveled extensively for many years and have even seen those with great fortune a few times, but this pink light is something I have never heard of before." The third elder of the Ye family stroked his beard and looked down at the high platform below, his eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

Father Bai remained silent, staring with suspicion at the pink light emanating from the stone tablet.

How could my daughter's spirit be present in this light...?

It was clearly Mu Zhi'an testing the stone tablet, but he could sense Bai Ruoxi's spiritual energy from the stone tablet that Mu Zhi'an was testing... This is a bit strange.

Even if they really did cultivate together, they shouldn't have left any spiritual energy in Mu Zhian's body.

"It seems that today's topic will probably be dominated by this young master of the Mu family," an old man said with a shake of his head and a smile.

I thought the test results of Ye Yu and Ye Lingxuan were already quite explosive news, but I never expected that Mu Zhian's test results would be even more astonishing.

"I'm afraid that's not necessarily true." Master Huang had a different opinion, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Have you forgotten about Miss Wei from the Mu family, and that genius girl from the Bai family?"

Both of them are at the Refining Spirit Realm.

Wei Mengrou was so low-key that people almost subconsciously overlooked her existence, but Mr. Huang had a very deep impression of her.

Firstly, because she was almost always by Mu Zhian's side; secondly, because she had reached the Refining Spirit Realm at her age, she could be considered a genius among geniuses.

Even setting aside Bai Ruoxi and Wei Mengrou, there is something even more explosive brewing.

Bai Ruoxi possesses "demonic energy," a fact known to all four major powers in Tianxuan City.

This is the perfect opportunity if anyone wants to cause trouble after the duel ends.

This test is probably just an appetizer before the real show begins.

……

At this moment, Mu Zhian was looking up at the stone tablet that was emitting a pink glow, lost in thought for a short while.

This is a bit awkward... Why would someone have pink luck?

He subconsciously looked at Lan Mulian, hoping that his senior sister could give him an answer.

However, when he turned his head, he found that Lan Mulian's eyes were as cold as a deep pool, her icy gaze silently fixed on him.

My senior sister's gaze is a little strange... Mu Zhian asked, "Senior sister, what's going on?"

Lan Mulian said calmly, "It's not clear yet. It seems your luck is different from others. I need to ask Master about it after I return to the sect."

Even this sect's assessment candidate doesn't know?!

Upon hearing this, the cultivators below the stage erupted in commotion, and their gazes toward Mu Zhian took on a strange glint.

One of the worst aspects of human nature is that when we see others living worse lives than ourselves, we feel a little psychological comfort.

When they saw that Mu Zhian's test monument remained unresponsive, many of them were somewhat gloating.

However, seeing the test monument light up with a pink glow unlike any other time before left many people with mixed feelings.

At this moment, a young man in the audience suddenly asked in a loud voice, "Senior sister, how should Mu Zhian's rating be decided?"

Many people turned their heads to look at him. It was the third young master of the Sun family, who had been selected as a disciple for the assessment. His talent was also outstanding among his peers, and he was one of the rare geniuses.

This test can be considered a preliminary assessment. Based on the results of this assessment, Lan Mulian will rank the disciples who came up the mountain to participate in the assessment in order of their overall performance, from first to last.

Mu Zhian's current pink aura is truly difficult to judge.

Lan Mulian glanced at it and said indifferently, "I have my own standard of judgment."

Ye Yu suddenly spoke up: "Young Master Mu's cultivation level is only the fourth grade of Qi Refining, and his luck is unheard of before. I am very curious about what decision Senior Sister will make. If Young Master Mu is placed before us, it will inevitably cause some people to feel dissatisfied."

Mu Zhian scoffed, "Then why don't you be the one to conduct the sect's assessment?"

Ye Yu smiled slightly and said, "I am not knowledgeable enough to qualify for the sect's assessment."

"If you know what's going on, then shut up," Mu Zhian said.
