Library of Heaven’s Path 2: Eternal Destiny

Chapter 41: Who Was the Genius?

"Hmm?" Yu Longqing looked over in confusion.

Lu Mingrong said, "You know the price and origin of the Destiny Disks. Although White Roc Academy is wealthy, it can't withstand such consumption. I fear that if this continues... not only will we fail to conceal it, but the academy will also go bankrupt!"

"That's true..." Yu Longqing nodded involuntarily.

The Destiny Disks are items that only the academy qualifies to purchase from the Destiny Hall. They are gathered from the River of Destiny, extremely pure and valuable. Although not as valuable as the Spirit Source Bamboo, they are not far behind!

Such precious items, and this Zhang Xuan has consumed three of them in one go...

Anyone else would find it unbearable!

Lu Mingrong continued, "The academy is already left with few pieces. If we let him absorb more, I fear others won't be able to stabilize their Source Pools!"

Currently, the fastest absorbers were Mo Yanxue and Yu Xiaoyu, each only at ten streams. Many people hadn't even succeeded in one level. If we don't stop this, this year's assessment would be almost completely ruined, with unprecedented gaps in results.

There was no better solutions for now. Stopping him would be the only way to solve the problem. Yu Longqing nodded and instructed, "Don't let him stop alone. Otherwise, it will attract too much attention."

With so many people absorbing, if he was singled out, even the dumbest person would realize this young man is somewhat special. In that case, his identity as a genius might really be impossible to conceal.

"I understand!" Lu Mingrong waved his hands, replaced the last Destiny Disk, and had someone restore the positions of the nine Dragon Pillars.

After completing these tasks, he stretched out his palm towards the northern stone pillar, gave it a fierce pat, causing the numbers like "Not Recorded", "21,000 streams" to shake and disappear.

Without this, even if others stop practicing, they wouldn't know the specific situation. The risk of exposure would be greatly reduced.

With everything ready, Lu Mingrong finally breathed a sigh of relief, surveyed the surroundings, and spoke loudly.

"Just now, there was a problem with the Nine Dragon Pillars, causing source energy leakage. I've already sent someone to fix it. From now on, to ensure the assessment proceeds without disturbance, practicing below the stage is no longer allowed. Everyone, please return to the stands to rest!"

"No more practice allowed?"

"Then how can we sense the Heaven‘s Fate Energy in advance?"

"It seems there really was a malfunction, otherwise, I wouldn't have spent so long without finding a single level of Heaven‘s Fate Energy..."

The people below the stage, who were trying hard to sense, all slowly opened their eyes, each realizing suddenly.

From the start of practice until now, nearly half an hour has passed. Even though the Heaven‘s Fate Energy that leaked out is not much, it shouldn't be impossible to find even one level!

Previously, they thought it was a problem with their talents, but it turned out it was a malfunction!

"There's a malfunction?"

Different from the astonishment of the crowd, Zhang Xuan also stopped absorbing, slightly disappointed as he opened his eyes.

‘What exactly is White Roc Academy playing at? It breaks yesterday and today, how can it make people practice happily?’

‘Too unreliable, this poor academy!’

‘Forget it, having absorbed so much Heaven‘s Fate Energy from others, the favor isn't small. When my strength improves, I'll find a way to help fix it…’

Feeling emotional, he saw everyone moving towards the stands and quietly followed, appearing unobtrusive as he found a corner to look towards the stage.

At this moment on the arena, Mo Yanxue, Yu Xiaoyu, and others were still practicing with their eyes closed.

With no more leakage of Heaven‘s Fate Energy, a thin mist appeared over the entire high platform. Within it, the sense of pure power was like wandering little dragons, continuously shuttling.

Knowing that absorption was temporarily impossible, continuing to watch was meaningless. Zhang Xuan no longer paid attention. He calmly observed himself instead, immersed his spirit once again in the Xuan World.

The New World just opened up has absorbed more than 10,000 streams of Heaven‘s Fate Energy, and it has already been thoroughly stabilized.

The vast expanse of the four directions of heaven and earth is empty and endless.

This was like the Dantian; without True Energy, no matter how vast it was, it wouldn't add a bit to the cultivation.

"It looks like I need to learn the method of tempering Source Energy..."

To consolidate the Source Pool, the next step was to absorb the violent Source Energy between heaven and earth, then find a way to refine and temper it, improving the physique layer by layer, preparing for future realm leveling.

"Look, Miss Mo Yanxue has already absorbed 21 streams of Heaven‘s Fate Energy!"

Just as Zhang Xuan pondered where to search for martial techniques, discussion erupted around him. Soon, he saw on the Nine Dragon Pillars that Mo Yanxue's name ranked first, with the number "21" conspicuously displayed.

"The highest talent in White Roc City in a century, Lord Yu, only absorbed 22 streams. I wonder if Miss Mo can break this record!"

"Definitely! She's already at 21 streams, so reaching 22 should be no problem!"

"This is a Fifth Grade Source Pool..."

"Amazing!"

Watching the excitement of the crowd, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but marvel as well. Despite being able to absorb over 20,000 streams of Heaven‘s Fate Energy with the aid of the Xuan World, he was essentially useless even without finding the Source Pool... There was still a significant gap between him and this young lady.

Buzz!

Just then, the light on the Nine Dragon Pillars flickered again, changing from 21 to 22, matching Lord Yu Longqing's record and advancing towards the Fourth Grade Source Pool's 32 streams.

However, the higher one advanced in cultivation, the more difficult it became. After persevering for about a quarter of an hour, Mo Yanxue's achievement finally settled at 28 streams, unable to progress any further.

She remained in the Fifth Grade Source Pool, but her talent surpassed Lord Yu's by a considerable margin.

As for Yu Xiaoyu, she was equally formidable, reaching 27 streams!

What surprised people was that even the somewhat ill-tempered Liu Mingyue managed to reach 24 streams, despite lagging behind these two. She was genuinely a Fifth Grade talent and could be considered among the top in White Roc City's hundred-year history.

Of course, the impressive ones were only these three. Most of the others were dismal, only absorbing one level, accounting for nearly eighty percent. Those who absorbed two levels made up the remaining one and a half percent, with the rest being Seventh Grade and Sixth Grade.

After the first round of assessments concluded, the second round began. Zhang Xuan wasn't a student and didn't qualify to enter, so he could only continue sighing with envy.

Two hours later, all registered students were tested. Mo Yanxue, Yu Xiaoyu, and Liu Mingyue remained the highest talents.

"The Source Pool assessment is over. This year's results surpass previous years. Anyone who has successfully absorbed one stream of Heaven‘s Fate Energy and consolidated their Source Pool can become a disciple of the academy! Of course, students can choose their teachers, and teachers can also choose their students. How they choose is up to them."

Gathering all students together, President Lu Mingrong smiled faintly. "However, before that, I would like to announce two matters!"

"Could it be that the genius has been found, and the president wishes to take them as a disciple?"

"It should be... Do you think it's Mo Yanxue, Yu Xiaoyu, or Liu Mingyue?"

"I think it might be me..."

Immediately, everyone became excited.

Yesterday, rumors spread that the president had once again considered taking on a disciple for a genius. Now it seemed likely to be true.

In an instant, everyone wanted to see who this genius was who could make the president so eager and what kind of power they had mastered.

"Who could it be?" Zhang Xuan couldn't help but show curiosity.
