The Treatment of a Genius

Chapter 13: The Treatment of a Genius

The assessment continued, with those who passed waiting to the side.

Soon, it was Chen Xuan's turn.

Seeing that he was about to be assessed, everyone present fixed their gaze on him, awaiting the results.

Earlier, Chen Xuan had boastfully declared himself a super genius and ridiculed Nalan Ye, calling him a good-for-nothing with only Dou Qi Power Level 7.

Now was his chance to prove his strength.

Whether he was a dragon or a worm would soon be revealed.

"Heh heh, I bet this kid's strength won't exceed Dou Qi Power Level 7."

"Don't say that. After all, he doesn't put Nalan Ye in his eyes, so he must at least have Dou Qi Power Level 9."

"Damn, if he can have Dou Qi Power Level 9 at that age, I'll eat dirt!"

"I don't believe it, unless you scald your crotch with boiling water!"

"I don't believe it either, unless you eat sh*t!"

Many people didn't believe Chen Xuan would possess strength surpassing Nalan Ye's.

Because Nalan Ye, at sixteen, having Dou Qi Power Level 7, already showed impressive talent.

At least since the assessment began, no one who passed had reached Dou Qi Power Level 7.

Mo Li and Nalan Ye both looked at Chen Xuan with mockery and amusement.

Both were waiting for this arrogant kid, Chen Xuan, to be humiliated.

Elder Ge glanced at Chen Xuan and asked expressionlessly, "Where are you from? Name? Age?"

The Cloud Mist Sect questioned the identity of every disciple they recruited thoroughly.

"My name is Chen Xuan, I'm thirteen this year, and I'm an orphan," Chen Xuan replied.

After all, he was indeed an orphan in this world, so it wasn't a lie.

Learning that Chen Xuan had no parents, Elder Ge was somewhat surprised.

Without further questioning, he told Chen Xuan to go test his Dou Qi Power.

Arriving before the Magic Stone Stele, Chen Xuan, as instructed, circulated his Dou Qi and infused it into the Magic Stone Stele.

As the Dou Qi flowed in, the Magic Stone Stele began to glow.

Upon seeing the light emanating from the Magic Stone Stele, everyone present erupted in an uproar, looking at the Magic Stone Stele with disbelief.

Mo Li and Nalan Ye stared at the Magic Stone Stele, dumbfounded, their eyes filled with incredulity.

A monstrous wave of shock surged in their hearts; they were utterly stunned.

Elder Ge's expression was agitated, his eyes fixed on the Magic Stone Stele, his body trembling slightly.

Clearly, he was overly excited.

"A One-Star Dou Zhe!" Elder Ge exclaimed, losing his composure.

No wonder he was so flustered.

After all, he had never seen a thirteen-year-old One-Star Dou Zhe since he started recruiting disciples.

Today, he was lucky; he had actually encountered a genius.

"Chen Xuan, thirteen years old, One-Star Dou Zhe!" Elder Ge loudly announced Chen Xuan's assessment result.

As Elder Ge's words fell, everyone present once again gasped.

The crowd looked at Chen Xuan with envy, jealousy, and even hatred.

Because everyone understood what a thirteen-year-old One-Star Dou Zhe meant.

Such a genius would definitely receive priority training in the Cloud Mist Sect, and his future was boundless.

Nalan Ye's face turned grim.

Because he had offended a genius.

This genius's future growth would likely reach an astonishing level.

"The only person who can compare to this guy is that young master from the Xiao Family in Wutan City," Nalan Ye muttered to himself. "What a shame, that young master from the Xiao Family is just a good-for-nothing now."

Recalling that astonishing genius youth from back then, Nalan Ye felt that if that genius hadn't fallen, he would definitely be even more formidable than Chen Xuan now.

Undeniably, he, Nalan Ye, was a good-for-nothing in Chen Xuan's eyes.

Speaking with strength, he, Nalan Ye, had lost completely.

With the appearance of a genius youth like Chen Xuan, the subsequent people who passed the assessment had no particular highlights.

After the assessment, those who passed were recruited and then assigned accommodation.

The Cloud Mist Sect's higher-ups all received news about the recruitment of a genius disciple.

The Cloud Mist Sect's higher-ups all believed it was a blessing from heaven, a good seed sent to the Cloud Mist Sect.

Having Nalan Yanran was already considered a stroke of luck by the Cloud Mist Sect's high-ranking members.

Now, with Chen Xuan, it was simply icing on the cake.

When it came to talent, many felt that Chen Xuan surpassed Nalan Yanran.

After all, Chen Xuan was only thirteen.

Whereas Nalan Yanran was already fourteen.

In terms of age, Chen Xuan definitely had an advantage.

In the Cloud Mist Sect's main hall, a graceful young woman sat poised.

Dressed in a pale moon-colored robe, she possessed a beautiful and delicate face, unadorned by makeup, radiating a natural and pure beauty.

Looking at her was like gazing upon an ethereal, otherworldly fairy.

She was Yun Yun, the current Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect.

"Elder Ge, that new disciple, Chen Xuan, can be cultivated appropriately," Yun Yun said, her willow-like brows relaxing and a faint smile gracing her lips. "Since he possesses the strength of a One-Star Dou Zhe, allow him to enter the first floor of the Combat Skill Pavilion to select a Combat Skill to cultivate."

"As you command," Elder Ge responded.

Yun Yun waved her hand, signaling Elder Ge to leave.

Her gaze held a hint of anticipation.

After all, they had acquired a truly promising prodigy this time.

If this prodigy could mature successfully in the future, it would be a great boon for the Cloud Mist Sect.

Having a strong expert preside over the Cloud Mist Sect would deter other forces and solidify the Cloud Mist Sect's position.

As a genius, Chen Xuan was one of the Cloud Mist Sect's key cultivation targets.

Although he hadn't yet received full cultivation support, his resources were absolutely enviable compared to other disciples.

Once he received the Cloud Mist Sect's full cultivation, his growth rate would be even faster.

With the strength of a One-Star Dou Zhe, Chen Xuan had one opportunity to enter the Combat Skill Pavilion.

He could choose a Combat Skill to cultivate from the first floor of the Combat Skill Pavilion.

Coming to the Cloud Mist Sect, his goal was Combat Skills.

Even if he could only enter the first floor, that was still good.

He believed that as his strength increased in the future, he would be able to enter deeper levels and cultivate more powerful Combat Skills.

Upon arriving at the Combat Skill Pavilion, Chen Xuan took out his token and handed it to the elder guarding the pavilion, then entered the first floor to choose a Combat Skill.

Entering the first floor of the Combat Skill Pavilion, he discovered that it contained many Combat Skills.

However, these Combat Skills were all between Human-rank and Yellow-rank; there were no Profound-rank Combat Skills.

After some selection, he chose a high-grade Yellow-rank Combat Skill called Overlord Tiger's Furious Aura Fist.

This Combat Skill had three levels in total.

Upon cultivating to the first level, using the Combat Skill would produce a tiger's roar.

At the second level, a tiger's head could be conjured, increasing its power by one grade.

At the third level, a giant tiger phantom could be manifested around the body, further increasing its power to rival that of a low-grade Profound-rank Combat Skill.

To cultivate to the third level would require a great deal of time.

Some people couldn't even cultivate to the third level.

But Chen Xuan was different, as he could purchase low-grade Combat Skill Comprehension Talent in the System Shop.

This would allow him to cultivate Overlord Tiger's Furious Aura Fist more effectively.

After selecting the Combat Skill, Chen Xuan returned to his residence to begin cultivating it.

Ever since suffering a setback against Chen Xuan, Nalan Ye had been looking for an opportunity to get revenge.

To exact his revenge, he sought out Nalan Yanran, hoping she could help him vent his frustration.

After all, Nalan Yanran was, in a way, the successor to the Cloud Mist Sect Master, so her status was definitely higher than other disciples.
