As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality

Chapter 199: Daughter’s First Stage Performance, 3-Year-Old Spirit Child Guards the Arena (4)

```

"A Supreme Spiritual Child who’s three years old, the Talent is indeed impressive, yet... too young. "

"Being too young to take part in the assessment doesn’t offer much of an advantage, it would be safer to foster her for another year and attend at four years old. "

"Coming from Fei Lei City, oh, then it’s alright, I’ve heard that Fei Lei City was bewitched by the Demon People of the Corpse God Cult, leading to the Thousand Infants Sacrifice where many Spirit Children perished undeservedly, this child being able to survive and make it to Mansion City...it’s not easy..."

...

The conversation below continued incessantly.

However, it’s very unlikely for a Supreme Spiritual Child who’s three years old to become a contender for a True Successor, they’ll probably become an Inner Sect Disciple. First, cultivate for one year, then see if they can catch an Elder’s eye and be promoted to True Successor.

Zhu Hong Dou glanced over at Xi Xi with interest, then continued to call out names.

"From Eastern Ring City, a Supreme Spiritual Child, Liu Chang Qing. "

Quickly, a total of fifteen names were called out, and fifteen children stood in a line on the wooden stage.

There were both boys and girls but at a glance, they were all six or seven years old uniformly.

Xi Xi, standing among them, was a head shorter, and her small size completely overwhelmed her presence.

Xi Xi didn’t mind, blinking her large eyes, she began to examine the boys and girls standing shoulder to shoulder with her. If she found them attractive, she would look longer, but if they were ugly, she would quickly move her gaze away, unable to bear a second.

Below, however, there was already a stir.

The first round is beginning with the assessment of the Supreme Spiritual Child?

That means the True Successor assessment has directly commenced with these fifteen Supreme Spiritual Children competing for five True Successor positions!

Four Elders and... the Sect Master!

A total of five True Successor spots!

Li Che sat below, his palms involuntarily clenched, admittedly... he was somewhat nervous.

Even though he was well-aware of what to expect and very confident in Xi Xi’s Talent and strength, he couldn’t help but feel anxious.

This was the emotional outpouring of a father, uncontrollable, as he watched his own daughter, dainty and lively, standing on the stage.

Seeing those tall and robust Spirit Children around her, as his own daughter seemed so small and insignificant, looking around with apparent trepidation in her eyes... ?

Li Che’s heart couldn’t help but tremble, with a sudden impulse to take his daughter down.

Zhang Ya, unaware of when she had grasped Li Che’s hand, was also full of sweaty palms, visibly tense.

"Husband, can Xi Xi... become a True Successor?"

"I hear that being accepted as a True Successor and entering the Inner Sect are worlds apart; it becomes extremely difficult to be promoted from Inner Sect to True Successor later on. "

Zhang Ya was very nervous, and her words came out in quick succession.

Li Che spent a while consoling her.

"Don’t worry, Xi Xi’s performance won’t be poor. "

"After all, she’s our daughter. "

Next to them, Old Chen was so nervous that his whole body trembled more than when he had fled from bandits in the past, rubbing his hands incessantly and drinking from his gourd.

Nurse Momo seemed unfazed, just rubbing Lu Chi’s big head, much to his annoyance.

Against the affection from his shifu’s wife, Lu Chi could only purse his lips and bear it.

On the wooden stage.

The Elder Zhang Qing Zheng, in charge of overseeing this assessment, stood before all the children with a solemn expression resembling a bitter lotus, approached them.

Immediately, all fifteen Spirit Children dared not even breathe.

Xi Xi almost covered her eyes, what a stinky face.

Zhang Qing Zheng stood with hands clasped behind his back, and his face seemed nearly frozen from smiling, wondering why these little ones still couldn’t sense the approachability radiating from him?

"The first round of the Sect assessment is the selection for True Successor. "

"The selection for True Successor consists of three stages; the first stage is the challenge arena. "

"There are five arenas set up on the wooden stage, and I have fifteen folded papers here. You will draw one each, which will determine the five who will stand in defense of the arenas while the rest will attack. The victor continues to hold the arena. "

"Those standing in the arenas at the end will be the winners of the first stage of the True Successor assessment. "

"The second stage involves assessing Divine Talent, with the Divine Sect’s Observation Skill projecting to evaluate based on the height of the Divine Purple Qi. "

"The scores will be divided into three categories: Superior, Excellent, and Good. "

"As for the third stage, we’ll discuss that after the first two stages are over. "

Zhang Qing Zheng’s eyebrows drooped, appearing as bitter as the whiskers of dried coptis.

He looked towards the fifteen Supreme Spiritual Children on the stage and said with a smile.

The fifteen Spirit Children were intimidated by Zhang Qing Zheng’s sour face, and they quickly stood up straight, loudly acknowledging their understanding.

Then, Zhang Qing Zheng suddenly tossed up the fifteen folded pieces of paper.

Invisible qi surged around them, making the papers fly chaotically as if enclosed in an invisible, transparent sphere.

"Each of you take one, upon opening it you can tell whether you are a defender or an attacker for the arena. "

Zhang Qing Zheng stated.

Xi Xi curiously looked at the whirlwind of folded papers floating in front of her and reached out her plump little hand to grab one.

The fierce wind buffeted her arm, causing it to tremble and tingle pleasantly.

After retrieving the folded paper, Xi Xi opened it with curiosity.

Afterward, her eyes were blank because there was a character on it she could not recognize.

He swept a glance over it, his eyes slightly raised, subtly shaking his head.

A three-year-old Spirit Child as a defender will surely be seen as an easy target and become the object of many Spirit Children’s eager challenges for the arena.

It’s a pity, but that’s how the rules of the True Successor assessment go...

If you dare to compete for True Successor at three years old, you must show some abilities.

With the bitter lotus-like face set firm, his robe flowing, Zhang Qing Zheng spoke with authority.

"The first stage defenders are Huang Si Xiang, Qin Feng Huo, Hai Chao Sheng, Gongyang Xiu..."

"Li Nuanxi. "
