The Team Gains a New Member

Under the spotlight, Chen Fan felt no pressure whatsoever.

He winked at Shen Xuan in the corner, then strolled leisurely to the giant Crystal Ball.

He imitated the two people before him, gently placing his small, fair hand on top.

One second.

Two seconds.

The nebula inside the Crystal Ball flowed slowly and silently.

Seeing this from the corner, Shen Xuan felt a strange sense of relief.

Fortunately, Chen Fan at least has an area he's not good at; otherwise, being around him would be too stressful.

Lin Qingqian's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, and the pride that belonged to Jiangdong Women's Martial Dao Middle School regained its footing.

However, just as Shen Xuan was about to say a few words of comfort to break the slightly awkward silence...

A sudden change has occurred!

Buzz!!

A deep hum suddenly resounded throughout the entire laboratory!

The once silent Crystal Ball seemed to have four suns simultaneously ignited inside!

Green, red, yellow, white!

Four distinct, pure, and clear beams of light suddenly shone brightly!

Although these four colors of light were far less dazzling than Su Qingyue's eight colors bursting forth simultaneously, each one was more condensed and substantial than the last, like four Glazed Crystal dragons, reflecting each other and rotating in turn, eventually converging into a brilliant pillar of light as thick as an arm, steadily soaring into the sky and shooting straight to the dome!

"Boom!"

The beam of light struck the dome simulating a starry sky, creating a visible ripple of energy!

On the Light Screen beside him, the data stream flashed wildly, and finally, after a series of rapid beeps, the result was clearly displayed.

[Four stars]

Two striking golden characters were reflected in everyone's eyes.

Dead silence.

The entire laboratory was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Shen Xuan opened his mouth wide, the words of comfort he had just prepared stuck in his throat, his expression incredibly interesting.

Four stars...

While not as exceptional as Su Qingyue, she is definitely in the realm of genius!

Gu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly.

A flicker of emotion crossed the depths of his eyes.

His Martial Dao Talent is already an unprecedented genius, and his Mental Power talent has actually reached the four-star level?

What on earth is this kid's bone structure? It's utterly unreasonable!

Lin Qingqian's reaction was exactly the same as Gu Ci's.

She first showed a hint of surprise without any attempt to hide it, but then, after glancing at the disciple with Eight-Star talent beside her, she quickly regained her composure and arrogance.

She regained her status as a top-tier Psychic Master.

Four stars, not bad.

Lin Qingqian's voice was devoid of emotion, conveying both affirmation of Chen Fan and an implicit declaration of her stance.

" In Martial Dao cultivation, the most important thing is the control over one's own power. A strong Mental Power allows you to see clearly the circulation of every bit of Qi and Blood in your body. When Fire Contemplation an enemy, you can even predict their killing moves in advance, making it an excellent asset."

As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her hand.

A soft white light flew from her fair fingertips, transforming into a stream of Stream of Light that hovered in front of Chen Fan.

"This is a basic method for Bone Refinement Mental Power, the 'Spirit-Concentration Art.' Although it's fundamental, its value lies in its peaceful and balanced nature, enough to solidify your spiritual Origin Source while you cultivate Martial Dao. I'm giving it to you."

"Thank you, Principal Lin."

Chen Fan didn't stand on ceremony. With a thought, the ball of light entered his brow, and a profound incantation instantly unfolded in his Sea of Consciousness.

Seeing that the test was over, Gu Ci prepared to leave with his men; he didn't want to stay there for even a second longer.

However, just as he turned around, Lin Qingqian spoke again.

"Wait a moment."

Her voice was cold and unyielding.

Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, Lin Qingqian's eyes fell upon her most prized disciple.

"Qingyue."

"Yes, teacher."

Su Qingyue bowed.

"Since childhood, you have focused solely on cultivation, without any distractions. Although your spiritual level has improved significantly, you have also lacked opportunities to learn from and hone your skills against other Prodigies peers. Like a flower in a greenhouse, you will ultimately be unable to withstand the wind and rain."

Lin Qingqian's voice was calm, but she made a decision that stunned everyone.

"From this day forward, you will follow them, consider it a journey of worldly practice, and a chance to broaden your horizons."

What?!

These words shocked the entire audience!

For the first time, a deep sense of astonishment and confusion flashed in Su Qingyue's clear, cold eyes.

Let her...

Following this nine-year-old?

Upon hearing this news, Shen Xuan's face turned even more ashen than if he were about to cry.

It's over!

It's all over!

The team already has a prodigy like Chen Fan, and now we're adding an ice-cold beauty with Eight-Star talent...

His social anxiety is about to become uncontrollable!

Only Gu Ci, after a brief moment of astonishment, gave Lin Qingqian a deep look, his gaze complex and unfathomable, as if he had instantly understood something.

He didn't refuse, but nodded almost imperceptibly.

"Yes, teacher."

Having received her master's order, Su Qingyue, despite her many questions, could only bow and accept it without the slightest hesitation.

Thus, this already oddly composed team, in a strange atmosphere, officially expanded from three to four members.

Hovercar.

The atmosphere was terribly oppressive.

Shen Xuan sat upright in his seat, looking extremely tense.

Su Qingyue sat on the other side by the window, her posture upright, her eyes closed, as if shrouded in an invisible chill, isolating her from the entire world.

Chen Fan, caught in the middle, looked left and right, finding it all quite amusing.

This time, Gu Ci did not sit in the driver's seat, but instead shared the rear cabin with them.

He lightly tapped his fingertip in the Void, and a huge three-dimensional Star Map unfolded in the center of the carriage.

His finger traced across the three major regions of Jiangnan, Jiangbei, and Jiangdong, finally landing heavily on another area radiating a thick, earthy yellow light.

"Next stop, Jiangxi Region."

Gu Ci's voice broke the silence.

"The martial arts style in Jiangxi Region is fierce and they advocate extreme body training. The top student of their No. 1 Martial Dao Middle School is said to have the bloodline of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe. He is born with superhuman strength, and his physical body is so powerful that few among his peers can rival him."

After introducing his opponents, Gu Ci's gaze swept over the three very different young men and women, finally settling on Chen Fan.

Chen Fan looked at the Star Map with great interest, then suddenly asked, "Master, how long will this road take?"

Gu Ci was silent for a moment, then said, "It will take at least a year, at most several years, until you sweep aside all the other geniuses of your Prodigies on Blue Star, or... perish along the way."

"And then what?" Chen Fan asked again.

"And then?" A burning glint flashed in Gu Ci's eyes. "And then, the Stars and the sea!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan did not ask any further questions.

But suddenly, a glint of light flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.

"Stars vast universe...?"
