Shua shua shua!
In an instant, everyone's gazes turned to Ye Xuan again.
Clearly, with two Sect cultivators present at this Heavenly Pride Banquet, a storm was brewing in the Northern Region.
Nangong Fei also looked at Ye Xuan with great curiosity.
In fact, her earlier intervention on Ye Xuan's behalf wasn't entirely due to a sense of justice.
Rather, she felt an inexplicable familiarity with Ye Xuan, though she couldn't quite place it.
Now, she wanted to see how this seemingly Mortal Body Ye Xuan would handle things.
Before his seat, Ye Xuan slowly put down his wine cup.
"Hahaha!"
But before Ye Xuan could get up, Qi Chuan raised his hand and said with a smile, "Tomorrow is the Sect Assembly; today is just a banquet. It wouldn't do to spoil the harmony!"
He knew the situation of the Violet Firmament Sect, and he and Su Ziyun were old acquaintances. If he made a scene like this in the Marquis's mansion, people would inevitably say he was using his power to bully others.
"How about this!"
"I obtained an Inquiry Stele in my early years, which can measure the level of comprehension!"
"If you Heavenly Prides are bored, you can try it. No need for fists and feet, no limit on cultivation. It can also distinguish strength and weakness. What do you think?"
Inquiry Stele!?
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Prides were immediately interested.
In that case, wouldn't they all be able to participate!?
"Oh!? Marquis, you have such a treasure? Then we are curious!" The City Lord of the Eastern Region raised an eyebrow.
"Hahaha, that's natural!"
Qi Chuan laughed loudly, then raised his hand and summoned a stone tablet, which landed in the center of the hall with a bang.
At this moment, Ye Xuan also looked up at the stone tablet and found that it was nine feet high, three feet wide, and two feet thick. It was covered with mottled marks, as if it had been tempered by countless martial arts and divine powers.
Moreover, its material was special, and its interior was hidden with complex runes, which should be used for practice in ancient Sects.
"This is the Inquiry Stele. All you talented individuals can come forward and try it. Just comprehend it, and the runes on it will manifest. The more runes that manifest, the higher the martial arts comprehension!"
"Comprehension is also part of a cultivator's talent!"
As Qi Chuan's voice fell, the outstanding figures of the Sects present stood up one after another, eager to try.
"I'll go first!"
At this time, Chen Kun, the Holy Son of Ba Yue Mountain, was the first to move and came directly to the stone tablet.
As the Holy Son of a body-refining Sect in the Barren Continent, Chen Kun wasn't particularly outstanding in comprehension, so he wanted to avoid embarrassing himself later.
He raised his hand and pressed it on the stone tablet, his mind penetrating into it, but after more than a dozen breaths, the stone tablet didn't react at all.
"Hehe, Chen Kun, your brute force is good, but when it comes to this, you should avoid embarrassing yourself!"
Luo Ming, the Holy Son of Cloud-Leaving Monastery, sneered with his hands behind his back.
"Shut up!"
Chen Kun's face turned red, and his Spiritual Body was activated. A phantom of a mountain range flickered behind him, and he punched the stone tablet directly.
Buzz!
The stone tablet vibrated slightly, and half a rune manifested from it, its light dim.
"Chen Kun, your comprehension still needs to be improved!" Qi Chuan frowned.
"This junior understands!" Chen Kun retracted his fist and returned to his seat dejectedly.
When it came to comprehension, he had indeed embarrassed himself.
"Let me try!"
Luo Ming, dressed in a white Taoist robe and holding a whisk, came to the stele. He first carefully looked at the mottled marks on it, then raised his hand and pressed it on it.
But like Chen Kun just now, after a few breaths, the stone tablet didn't fluctuate at all.
"Tch, you're still talking about me? Aren't you the same!?"
Chen Kun sneered at the sight, feeling much better in his heart.
At this time, there was also a faint sweat flowing on Luo Ming's forehead.
He didn't expect the Inquiry Stele to be so difficult!
The mottled marks on it seemed to contain an ocean of mysteries. Trying to comprehend them was like sailing a boat in a vast sea.
Buzz!
Even though Luo Ming tried his best to comprehend, he only managed to manifest one rune on the stone tablet.
"Hehe, a complete rune is already very good. The Holy Son of Cloud-Leaving Monastery lives up to his name!" Qi Chuan said with a smile.
"This junior is ashamed!"
Luo Ming cupped his hands and also retreated.
Although he looked a little disheveled, his result was still better than Chen Kun's.
"Since Senior Brother isn't here, I'll go!"
At this moment, from the Lin Tian Sword Sect's seats, the Saintess Wen Yuyan rose and slowly stepped forward.
Among the various Sects, the Holy Son was generally stronger than the Saintess, but the Lin Tian Sword Sect was the leader of the Four Regions Sects, so Wen Yuyan's talent was no worse than any Holy Son.
She wore a pink dress, her appearance was beautiful, and her temperament was outstanding. She came before the Inquiry Stele, placed her fair hand on the stele, and began to comprehend.
Everyone in the hall was now looking at this talented woman who was famous throughout the Four Regions of the Barren Continent, waiting for her result.
Buzz!
Sure enough, Wen Yuyan only used nine breaths to make the Inquiry Stele tremble slightly, and two bright runes, shaped like peach blossoms, slowly emerged!
Less time, more runes!
Wen Yuyan's comprehension amazed the audience.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of the favored daughter of the Lin Tian Sword Sect, she should be the number one Saintess of the Four Regions Sects, amazing, truly amazing!"
Qi Chuan clapped his hands, not stingy with his praise.
"Lord Marquis is too kind."
Wen Yuyan retracted her fair hand, but turned to look in the direction of the Violet Firmament Sect, "It's just a pity that that person isn't here today, otherwise, I would definitely compete with her!"
Everyone was slightly stunned, and then they realized that the person Wen Yuyan was talking about was the Violet Firmament Sect's Saintess Chu Wan'er!
Two years ago, Chu Wan'er had fought against the Lin Tian Sword Sect alone in Tianxuan City, and Wen Yuyan had also been defeated.
Only the Holy Son Ji Fengliu had fought Chu Wan'er to a draw.
This had always been a thorn in Wen Yuyan's heart.
"Hehe, there will be opportunities!" Su Ziyun sipped her wine and smiled faintly.
Wen Yuyan shook her head and returned to her seat.
The Violet Firmament Sect could not even maintain its position as a first-rate Sect, so it was naturally not qualified to compete with them.
"Hmph!"
But this scene made Liu Yunxi very unhappy.
Chu Wan'er hadn't even come, so why was everyone still mentioning her!?
Moreover, if she hadn't received the Yuan Gang Pill late, Wen Yuyan might not even be stronger than her, so why was she the number one Saintess of the Four Regions!?
She was not convinced!
"Hehe, Brother Chengfeng, you are the true Dragon of my Barren Continent, want to give it a try?"
At this time, Qi Chuan suddenly looked at Xiao Chengfeng, as for the Violet Firmament Sect, he automatically ignored it.
Xiao Chengfeng was a person of Tower Lord Ji, although his talent and cultivation were not as good as Ji Fengliu's, his comprehension should be extremely high.
Now, he could take this opportunity to make a name for himself again and strengthen his reputation.
If Xiao Chengfeng was happy, Tower Lord Ji would definitely reward him!
"Me?"
But Xiao Chengfeng was stunned. Now that he had seen the results of Wen Yuyan and the other two, he was also panicked.
This Inquiry Stele seemed very difficult!
"Brother Chengfeng, you are definitely better than them!" Liu Yunxi said with a smile, holding Xiao Chengfeng's arm.
Xiao Chengfeng could break the Hundred Refinements Tower record, so the mere Inquiry Stele was naturally nothing.
Faced with the gazes of the crowd, Xiao Chengfeng was also in a dilemma, and then he had no choice but to get up.
He came to the stone stele, frowned and looked at it for a moment, and pressed his hand on it.
One breath!
Three breaths!
Six breaths!
After six breaths, the stone stele showed no reaction at all.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
This Xiao Chengfeng didn't seem to have much comprehension either!?
How did he break the Hundred Refinements record with that!?
At this moment, Liu Yunxi was also dumbfounded.
This shouldn't be!
Qi Chuan also frowned. His talent and cultivation were not good, and his comprehension was not particularly good either. What exactly did Tower Lord Ji see in him!?
Buzz!
And just at the eighth breath, the stone tablet finally began to vibrate.
Immediately, two light blue sword-shaped runes manifested from it.
Eight breaths, two runes, that's a bit better than Wen Yuyan.
Qi Chuan was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly understood.
Xiao Chengfeng must be hiding his true abilities!
Otherwise, if his comprehension is too heaven-defying, wouldn't the Sect Assembly tomorrow be without suspense!?
That's right, it must be so!
"Hehe, laughable..."
But at this moment, a sneering sound suddenly rang out.
It was especially grating within the silent hall.
Everyone looked over and discovered that the one sneering was none other than Ye Xuan.
True Dragon!?
More like a true worm, right?
"Ye Xuan, what right do you have to laugh!?" Xiao Chengfeng was extremely ashamed and angry.
No matter what, he's still the one with the best results right now, how dare a piece of trash like Ye Xuan laugh at him!?
Liu Yunxi also wanted to speak up for Xiao Chengfeng.
But at this moment, another cold sneer echoed through the hall from outside.
"He doesn't have the right, but what about me!?"
Everyone was stunned, and then they saw Ji Fengliu, dressed in blue, flying into the hall.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his starry eyes sweeping over Xiao Chengfeng, his eyes full of disdain!
Xiao Chengfeng was also shocked in an instant.
Ji Fengliu has suppressed the four regions for a generation, and now that he's facing him, he still feels a little weak.
"You're just someone who broke a year-old record, and you deserve to be called the Barren Continent True Dragon!?"
Ji Fengliu snorted coldly.
He had just learned that his record had been broken, and even heard Qi Hou call him a True Dragon.
How could he endure that!?
Immediately, he went directly to the stone tablet and pressed his hand on it!
One breath!
Two breaths!
Three breaths!
Buzz!
In an instant, in the astonished eyes of everyone, the stone tablet shook violently, and streams of light faintly emerged, eventually turning into three sword-shaped runes, shimmering with water and extremely dazzling!
Three breaths, three runes!?
Compared to Xiao Chengfeng, it was like heaven and earth!
For a time, Xiao Chengfeng and Liu Yunxi were dumbfounded.
They never thought that Ji Fengliu's comprehension would be so perverted!
"Hmph!"
At this moment, Ji Fengliu also withdrew his palm from the stone tablet and turned to look coldly at Xiao Chengfeng.
"If there is a True Dragon in this Barren Continent, it can only be me!"
After Ji Fengliu finished speaking, he even ignored Qi Chuan's expression, flicked his sleeves, and turned to leave.
Only his lingering voice echoed in the hall.
Ji Fengliu is too arrogant!
But being arrogant, he does indeed have the capital to be arrogant!
Three breaths, three runes, whether it's talent, cultivation, or comprehension, he's much stronger than his peers in the Barren Continent.
"Wait."
But just as Ji Fengliu was about to walk out of the hall, Ye Xuan, who was sitting in front of the mat at the door, suddenly spoke.
"True Dragon?"
"You don't deserve it either!"
