After waiting for a moment, a white-haired old man walked out from the back. He wore a black robe and on his chest was an inscription master emblem that overflowed with light. There were four golden lines engraved on the emblem.
The old man's cheekbones were slightly high, his figure was thin, and between his brows were traces of an imposing manner, which should be the Master Cheng Yuanhee that Qi Luo had mentioned.
Ye Feng hurried to bow to the old man, "I pay my respects to Great Master Cheng."
"Mm …" Your name is Ye Feng, and you are from the Earthly Essence Sect? "
"Ugh …" "You haven't taken any inscription master examination before?"
Sweeping through the registration information Qi Luo handed forward, Great Master Cheng couldn't help but frown.
It was rare for a person to directly cross ranks to take the examination for a grade-3.
Inscription masters had to keep their feet on the ground, train diligently and cross levels to participate in the assessment. Most of them failed this test. If Ye Feng did not pay the ten million Spiritual Stone, they would have treated him as a joke.
Great Master Cheng's words immediately caused the surrounding people to look at him weirdly.
There was surprise, disdain and, of course, praise.
Even the pair of sisters from the Gu Clan, couldn't help but glance at Ye Feng.
"However... Since you have passed the Jade Tablet assessment at the entrance of the guild and have paid ten million Spiritual Stone to register, then … "Let's take the test together with them."
"This is your Inscription Material, a total of three. If you finish the examination within two hours, you can announce the end of the examination."
"Of course, I succeeded in the early completion, but I failed when I used up all the materials …"
Great Master Cheng was like Ye Feng, introducing the content of the assessment.
"Wait!"
Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man stood up from the right.
He glanced at Ye Feng a few times with disgust, and said with an unfriendly expression: "Great Master Cheng, is it a bit inappropriate for a fellow who isn't even an inscription apprentice to participate in the inscription master examination with me?"
"Lee Lushan is right, he should be participating in the first level of the examination. After all, those who can become an inscription master are all people with status, and they are being tested with people who do not know their place. If they lose their identity, it would be unpleasant to hear about it."
"Yes, I also feel that this move is inappropriate …"
"Raising seedlings to promote growth, carrying along with it a bad atmosphere."
"…"
The middle-aged man took the initiative to raise an objection, immediately provoking a wave of unfriendly voices from the crowd.
Ye Feng's face slightly darkened.
Myself... He had clearly followed the rules, completed the Jade Tablet Trial and paid ten million Spiritual Stone. From the rules alone, he had attracted the enmity of a bunch of people.
But that was also the case. Inscription masters were high and mighty existences, they thought themselves superior to others. How could they put this little Martial Cultivator, who wasn't even an inscription apprentice, in their eyes?
"Kid, honestly, did you come in through the back door? Have you reached the ninth step in spiritual power? "This is the minimum requirement to participate in the third rank exam."
Lee Lushan passed the crowd and directly walked to Ye Feng's side, and said condescendingly.
"These... It doesn't seem to be related to you, does it? "
Being looked for trouble like that, Ye Feng's face darkened.
He was not a soft persimmon who could be kneaded by others at will.
"The Earthly Essence Sect is getting more and more arrogant, to the point where I can't even stand looking at the Heavenly Essence Sect anymore. Kid, do you know who I am? I am an outer disciple of the Heavenly Essence Sect, so logically speaking, you should pay your respects to me. "
He never thought that Ye Feng would actually dare to go against him, and the expression on Lee Lushan's face immediately changed as he shouted with a cold voice.
"If I remember correctly, this is the Inscription Master Society, not your Heavenly Essence Sect. The one who makes the decision, should be the Great Master Cheng."
"What is it? Do you want to go beyond your authority and bring your might to Inscription Master Society? "
With a cold snort, Ye Feng replied back in a neither hasty nor impatient manner.
"You …"
Lee Lushan immediately choked. Within the Inscription Master Society, he really did not dare act rashly.
Narrowing his eyes, he turned to Cheng Yuanhee and said: "Great Master Cheng, I am suspicious of this brat, and should let him test my spiritual power. If he is not even at the ninth step, there is no need to test me, so as to not waste everyone's time."
"Yes, that's right."
"Before reaching the ninth step, we would be too embarrassed to take the test together with him …"
The others nodded in agreement.
Although Ye Feng had on the surface already passed the Jade Tablet Trial, these people still carried doubts in their hearts that Ye Feng had entered through the back door.
Hehe, that's fine, it's the first time I have met with such a situation today. Ye Feng, do you have any objections?
Cheng Yuanhee nodded slightly.
He and Ye Feng had never met each other before, but all of the people in this hall had a good background, so it was natural that they chose to befriend the latter with their Inscription Master Society.
"I'll follow whatever Great Master Cheng says."
Ignoring the aggressive gazes of the crowd, Ye Feng clasped his hands at Cheng Yuanhee.
"Hmph, kid, I'll give you a demonstration first. The strength of the ninth step requires the spirit to reach the complete orange color, not even a little bit weaker."
Without waiting for Ye Feng to speak, Lee Lushan took a barbaric step forward and slowly raised his hands. A surging wave of mental energy suddenly rushed out from his forehead.
With a swoosh, most of the hall was filled with an orange glow, and a faint green luster could be seen mixed within.
"I'll go …"
"Long time no see, Old Li. You seem to be about to break through to the Tenth Order."
"No wonder you, old boy, are unwilling to forgive us. So it turns out that you want to display your mental strength in front of us. You are truly a shitty person."
"…"
Seeing Lee Lushan releasing that strand of green luster, a few sounds of envy came out from the crowd.
The change from orange yellow to green was the sign of the passage of time from the ninth step to the tenth step. This also meant that the probability of him passing the examination this time was several times greater than the average person.
Lee Lushan's eyes revealed a satisfied smile, he coldly looked at Ye Feng like a superior, wanting to see the shock in the latter's eyes.
I just let him down.
That silly kid was standing quietly on the spot, not even blinking his eyes.
Mother … Could it be that this brat did not know that there was a faint green color mixed within the orange color, symbolizing something?
"Brat, it's your turn!"
Lee Lushan who had retracted his spirit force spoke with a hint of chilliness.
Let's see how long he can keep pretending for …
"Alright."
Ye Feng walked forward and extended a hand to indicate to him. At the same time, he spoke to Lee Lushan with a somewhat provocative look on his face, "Please step aside a little, so that I wouldn't be too late and accidentally injure you."
"Hahaha …"
"This brat is quite humorous. Since he can injure me with his mental energy, he has to have Middle And Later Period of King Stage no matter what. Your Earthly Essence Sect Outer Sect definitely doesn't have many people."
At first, Lee Lushan had actually wanted to retreat. However, after hearing Ye Feng's words, his legs became like iron pillars on the ground, and he did not move an inch.
In regards to Ye Feng's words, many other people frowned.
This young man was too arrogant.
Lee Lushan did not care about it, he was just unwilling to lower himself.
Even Cheng Yuanhee who was in charge of the examination glanced at Qi Luo quietly, a displeased expression appearing on her face. He also did not expect that Young Master Ye, who was always so courteous, would suddenly become so severe and fierce.
Great Master Cheng... He was blaming himself …
