brick. A pulsation from his meridians boosted his speed, and he instantly appeared in front of Wang Jie, landing a solid strike to Wang Jie's right cheek. Thud. "Ugh—" The power of the soundwave-brick left Wang Jie reeling, spitting blood, and fainting. "Uh, the winner is Chen Wenzhong of the Chen family!" Stunned by Chen Wenzhong’s violent assault, Judge Helian announced the result only after seeing the unconscious, blood-spewing Wang Jie. "Well done! As expected of my son, Chen Zhan — such an extraordinary young man at a tender age, hahaha!" Chen Zhan exclaimed, clapping enthusiastically. In contrast, the other three family heads were filled with mixed emotions, especially the heads of the Lu and Zhao families, who felt exceedingly embarrassed by their disciples' poor showing. "Buzz— Buzz!" Suddenly, two white-clad figures appeared on the platform, swords floating behind them. Seeing these two individuals, the four family heads stood up, walking to the platform with respect. "Welcome, exalted immortals of the War Sect, to Tianwu City. It's an honor for our city!" In response to the family heads, a young man in white said, "By the War Sect's command, we are here to find children with the potential for cultivation across various cities." The other white-clad man added, "We've watched the entire competition from above. Please bring Chen Yan, Chen Wenzhong, Lu Zhen, Wang Jie, and Zhao Tianming forward. We need to test their spiritual roots." "Understood!" Reluctantly, the family heads obeyed, despite their displeasure at the Chen family's abundance of potential talents. Still, each family had at least one candidate, which eased their resentment somewhat. Soon, Chen Wenzhong and the others were brought before the two sect disciples. Only Chen Wenzhong remained on the stage while the others assembled in front of the sect disciples. Chapter 17: Chen Wenzhong's Talent Seeing that everyone had gathered, one of the white-robed men took out a rectangular black crystal from his bosom and announced, "Each of you will come forward one by one, place your hand on this talent crystal, and inject your spiritual energy. It will reveal your talent level and spiritual root grade." He pointed to Chen Yan, signaling him to go first. Scratching his head in confusion, Chen Yan had no idea what to do. Elder Chen Ming, who stood behind, gave him a swift kick and angrily said, "You fool! The immortal wants you to test your talent! Stop daydreaming!" Embarrassed, Chen Yan walked towards the white-robed man, placed his hand on the talent crystal, and began injecting his spiritual energy. As Chen Yan's energy flowed in, the crystal began to change, showing a bright yellow color with the number seven beside it. "Not bad. A level seven earth attribute spiritual root.
