"Fine, then I'll show you just what kind of talent I,
Seeing
Hummm—
The moment Chu Feng started cultivating, a single ring of light flickered into existence around him.
"That's impossible..." Seeing this, Beitang Zimo's face changed dramatically. He staggered backward, stumbling several steps.
Because his worst fear had come true—Chu Feng was nowhere near as weak as he'd imagined. The boy had actually activated a single ring of light. Didn't that mean he was about to publicly slap himself in the face?
However, what truly left him speechless was still to come. After the first ring appeared around Chu Feng, things did not calm down.
On the contrary, after the first ring, a second, a third, a fourth, a fifth, a sixth, and a seventh ring appeared one by one.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Feng had activated seven rings of light—the speed at which they appeared was simply jaw-dropping.
But what truly shocked everyone was that Chu Feng's rings didn't stop there. Soon, the eighth ring appeared, bringing Chu Feng's talent to the same level as Dantai Xue.
At that moment, the crowd erupted. Not only were those inside the Cultivation Celestial Lake astonished—even those outside the lake, and even the people of Immortal Island, were thoroughly shocked.
They truly hadn't expected that besides Dantai Xue, there was a second person whose talent matched Baili Xinghe's.
And at that moment, Baili Xinghe had grown very uneasy, because he knew perfectly well that the number of rings he could actually activate was not eight, but seven.
If only Dantai Xue had been stronger than him, he might have grudgingly accepted it. But now another person—Chu Feng—had appeared who was also stronger than him. That was much harder to swallow.
How had so many geniuses suddenly emerged in the Sacred Land of Martial? Just among those who had come to the Weapon Bestowment Ceremony, two people possessed talent that exceeded his own.
This left Baili Xinghe—who had always considered himself peerless under heaven—feeling deeply resentful and frustrated, as though he had suffered a devastating blow. His heart was in turmoil.
"Oh my god, look! Chu Feng has activated yet another ring—nine rings! Chu Feng has actually activated a ninth ring!"
Someone suddenly cried out, their voice filled with disbelief, because they had noticed that after activating the eighth ring, Chu Feng had gone on to activate yet another—he had reached nine rings of light.
"Damn it, I can't make it stop."
Yet even as the crowd continued to exclaim in shock, Chu Feng felt rather helpless. He had originally intended to use this technique to reach the same level as Dantai Xue and then stop.
But he never expected that once the technique was activated, the rings would keep appearing. The technique had bound him and was now beyond his control—as though unless the test reached its natural conclusion, Chu Feng would be unable to stop.
Under these circumstances, Chu Feng had no recourse but to leave it to fate. He might as well reveal his true talent before everyone.
And so, after the ninth ring appeared, a tenth ring materialized as well. In the end, the number of rings Chu Feng activated came to a halt at ten.
At that moment, Chu Feng finally regained his freedom. Looking at the ten rings of light surrounding him, he felt it was acceptable—only two more rings than Dantai Xue. Surely that wouldn't cause too great a sensation.
