Seeing Jiang Xiaobai genuinely practicing three different techniques, the white-bearded old man was petrified on the spot as if he had seen a ghost.
Absolutely terrifying!
He’s not human, definitely not human!
How could a human be so insightful?
The white-bearded old man then rushed over to Jiang Xiaobai, looking him over as if trying to confirm something.
“What are you doing, old man? I’m warning you, if you’re an old creeper, I’m not playing with you.”
“Old creeper?!”
The old man’s face went red. Although he didn’t understand the meaning of those words, he could infer from Jiang Xiaobai’s disgusted expression.
“All I am doing is confirming that you’re not of another race.”
“Heh, you sure are worldly, knowing about the existence of other races,” Jiang Xiaobai scorned.
The white-bearded old man shook his head, “You don’t understand, the things I’ve seen in this world are beyond your imagination.”
He then started to sigh deeply and nostalgically.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t know what the old man was implying and waved him off, “Enough chatter, where’s my reward?”
“Don’t worry about that, I always keep my word.”
“However, I have a question for you before proceeding.”
“Are you willing to accept a greater challenge?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai became intrigued, “Oh? What kind of bigger challenge?”
“Why wouldn’t I take it if you’re offering something good?”
The white-bearded old man laughed, “The challenge is if you can clear the remaining six tests, I’ll give you a huge surprise.”
“How huge?”
“Can’t tell you for now, but it’s definitely going to be worth it. Plus, you’ll discover a huge secret. What do you say?”
Right now, the white-bearded old man seemed like a cunning grandfather tricking a naive young man.
If he were to be a bit more lewd, he would resemble the beggar from Stephen Chow’s movies.
He almost said – kid, I see something remarkable in your bones. You’re an exceptional martial arts prodigy!
Upon thinking this, Jiang Xiaobai shivered, “Alright, it’s negotiable. But one of the tests involves the soul and with my current cultivation base, I don’t have enough divine strength, let alone a soul.”
“You may be exempted from this.”
The white-bearded elder blurted out, “When dealing with special people, we ought to have special methods. After all, rules are rigid, but people are flexible.”
“Well, old man, surprisingly, you’re easy-going.”
“Guided this way, I don’t see why not try it.”
Jiang Xiaobai agreed straight away, he had already cleared a single test and now he would have more opportunities to do so. Especially for the cultivation test, Jiang Xiaobai wanted to give it a try.
“Let me make this clear, only by completing all the tests will you receive the ultimate opportunity. If you only finish one, you’ll get the corresponding reward,” the white-bearded elder reminded him.
Jiang Xiaobai nodded in agreement and gestured for the old man to hurry up without saying much.
Seeing this, the white-bearded elder nodded and laughed. Without making any visible movements, the scenery around them suddenly changed.
Instantly, they were surrounded by vast white clouds, with Jiang Xiaobai standing on an edge of a cliff. All around him were misty clouds, any little movement could cause him to fall off.
The white-bearded elder appeared alongside him, pointing towards a palace that appeared in the distance.
“Your task is simple, enter that palace,” the white-bearded elder chuckled.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai laughed, “Old man, are you taking me lightly? I could get to that distance within the blink of an eye.”
“Oh? Why don’t you give it a try then?”
“Remember, you only get three tries.”
“Fail three times and you won’t receive the big surprise and the big secret.”
The white-bearded elder laughed and then remained silent on the side.
Ignoring the elder, Jiang Xiaobai first examined the environment around him and frowned.
Surrounding them were layers of misty clouds, nothing could be seen with naked eyes nor any detection by divine sense.
But Jiang Xiaobai clearly sensed that there were many terrifying auras hiding within.
“So it’s not that simple after all. But, who cares, I’ll just dash over with Wind Escape,” Jiang Xiaobai thought to himself. He then lightly moved under his feet and dashed out at an astonishing speed.
Just as he jumped off the cliff, a bloody mouth appeared from beneath, ready to swallow Jiang Xiaobai whole with a suffocating, rotten smell.
“Cut the crap, are we playing house here?”
Jiang Xiaobai sneered and easily dodged it. At this moment, another bloody mouth emerged from the surroundings, yet this didn’t stir any ripple in Jiang Xiaobai’s heart as he evaded with ease again.
Like this, dangerous threats kept emerging from the clouds which could cost a life with just one touch.
Such a situation would absolutley test a person’s agility and attentiveness. One wrong move could make you fail.
But Jiang Xiaobai was finding it as easy as having a meal or drinking water. Having Wind Escape technique and swift reflexes, avoiding these threats was not a problem.
Just like that, he got through it with ease.
“Gasp, kid, what trick do you use? Never seen anything like it,” the white-bearded elder looked at Jiang Xiaobai in shock.
“Oh, just a regular guy. No need to make a fuss about it. Now stop jabbering and get on with the next one. I’m in a hurry!”
The white-beard old man, enraged, shooting a fierce glance at Jiang Xiaobai, and immediately, the surroundings changed.
Jiang Xiaobai appeared in an enormous blood pool. As soon as he appeared, he was thrown into it. The moment he touched the blood, he felt an agonizing pain all over his body.
“Survive one hour of body refining and marrow washing, and consider it a pass.”
“Old bastard!”
Jiang Xiaobai exclaimed in anger, “I’ll give you that one!”
Jiang Xiaobai nearly passed out from the pain. He hurriedly activated his Nine Revolutions Skill, and immediately, the pain was gone. He not only felt relief but also felt an incredible cool sensation all over his body.
How comfortable!
As such, the hour passed with ease and Jiang Xiaobai found his physical strength had greatly increased.
The benefits were indeed substantial!
“Next one!”
As Qin Chen exclaimed, the shocked white-bearded elder could only change the scene once more.
A multitude of mirrors appeared around Jiang Xiaobai, enveloping him.
This round was a test of mindset, to see whether he could find himself among many illusions.
In terms of state of mind, Jiang Xiaobai was not weak either.
It took less than an hour for Jiang Xiaobai to laugh lightly, “My heart is like a bright mirror. I am me, the most dazzling firework.”
“A bunch of trash.”
With a scornful remark, all the mirrors shattered!
On the side, the white-bearded elder was completely dumbfounded again.
Just how terrifying was this kid’s mentality?
“What are you standing there for? Hurry up with the next one!”
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai’s shout echoed out.
