Chapter 75: Ning Yao’s Spiritual Roots
Shuang Jiang’s response left Luo Yuebai speechless.
At the same time, he felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
Was someone going to make a move?
Who? Shuang Jiang? Or someone else?
Luo Yuebai’s curiosity grew.
He felt that he couldn’t see through Shuang Jiang, who was standing in front of him, anymore.
Was this really just a failure who had gone up Clear Wind Mountain and had their Dantian broken?
Luo Yuebai had thought he had a good grasp of Linjiang City, but now he realized that the person in front of him had become mysterious.
He didn’t ask any more questions.
He looked at Su Jingzhen and Chen Jinshi, who were standing silently, and then at the nine children who were about to awaken their spiritual roots.“Haha, Daoist Su, is this the result you’ve been wanting to see?”
At this point, three children had already entered the Spirit Awakening Tower, but none of them had triggered any changes in the tower.
Chen Jinshi couldn’t help but mock.
Since he had confirmed that he would have to fight Su Jingzhen, his mood had improved greatly.
He even seemed to be enjoying the sight of the nine children from Enlightenment School awakening their spiritual roots.
Su Jingzhen’s face remained unchanged in response to Chen Jinshi’s mockery.
He didn’t have any expectations for the other eight children.
He only cared about Ning Yao’s awakening result.
Before long, the eight children went into the Spirit Awakening Tower and came out again.
None of them had awakened their spiritual roots, not even a fake one.
Ning Yao was the last one.
As she entered the tower, she turned back to glance at Su Jingzhen.
Her eyes seemed to hold a hint of tension.
Su Jingzhen smiled and nodded at her, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Even Shuang Jiang, who was standing a short distance away, had a curious expression on her face.
She had spent time alone with Ning Yao and knew some things in advance.
“Hehe, this girl should be the one you’re most looking forward to, Daoist Su, right? If she also fails to awaken her spiritual roots, will you regret your decision today?”
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s mouth curved into a smile again: “What’s there to regret? I’m just following my heart.”
At this time, Chen Jinshi looked at Su Jingzhen as if he was looking at a dead man. Su Jingzhen looked at Chen Jinshi, and it was no different.
As he answered, he was already thinking about where to strike to kill.
In Su Jingzhen’s view, since he had chosen to take action today, he had to make it count and take a life.
Chen Jinshi, this genius, was not someone to be trifled with. Since he had provoked him, he had to be eliminated.
Otherwise, there would be endless trouble.
After all, he had read many novels in his past life and knew that being merciful to enemies was being cruel to oneself.
He was a peaceful person who didn’t like to provoke others, but when the time came, he wouldn’t hesitate to take action.
Just as Chen Jinshi was about to say something else, his face suddenly froze.
Because at this moment, a red light had appeared on the Spirit Awakening Tower.
And this light was not as weak as the ones triggered by Lin Feng and the others.
It was extremely intense!
It was dazzling to the extreme!
“Ah, she really does have spiritual roots! I saw her spiritual energy earlier, and it’s no surprise that she can awaken ordinary spiritual roots.”
“…”
The change on the Spirit Awakening Tower immediately sparked a discussion among the surrounding crowd.
Even Feng Qingya, who was sitting in the central chair, revealed a surprised expression.
Since she had investigated Su Jingzhen the previous night and confirmed that he was not a registered alchemist of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, she had not paid him any attention.
Even when Su Jingzhen had taken the initiative to challenge Chen Jinshi today, she had only seen it as a clownish behavior to attract attention.
She hadn’t taken it seriously at all.
Now, looking at the intense red light on the Spirit Awakening Tower, Feng Qingya’s gaze involuntarily turned to the white-haired old man standing beside her.
“Master Mu, what do you think?”
The old man raised an eyebrow: “The first light is already so intense, it’s definitely not just ordinary spiritual roots. No matter what Su Jingzhen is like, this little girl is worth paying attention to.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Qingya’s expression changed again.
The fact that Master Mu would say this voluntarily proved that he was very optimistic about Ning Yao’s awakening.
Indeed, in the next moment, the crowd’s exclamations grew even louder.
Because after the red light, a strong orange light appeared on another corner of the Spirit Awakening Tower!
Many people in the square were stunned, their eyes filled with envy.
Most people in the square had ordinary spiritual roots, and Ning Yao’s two colors were already mysterious.
This level of achievement was a dream that they could only hope for in their lifetime.
“Mysterious! I didn’t expect Peach Blossom Alley’s Enlightenment School to produce a student with mysterious spiritual roots!”
“Unbelievable! It seems that Su Jingzhen really does have some tricks up his sleeve.”
“It’s no wonder he dared to challenge Daoist Chen Jinshi, and it seems that the upcoming battle will be quite interesting.”
“…”
This was reality.
When Su Jingzhen’s side had some astonishing things happen, the previous unified ridicule had already changed its tone.
Su Jingzhen’s mouth curved into a smile.
He unintentionally took a few steps forward, positioning himself between Chen Jinshi and the Spirit Awakening Tower.
The fallen genius was nothing now.
Chen Jinshi’s family was not someone to be trifled with, and Su Jingzhen had already seen their true nature in this series of events.
If they were to destroy Ning Yao, it wouldn’t be surprising.
The blood energy in his body was already surging through his meridians.
His hand quietly pressed on the storage bag at his waist.
He was ready to take action at any moment.
Although he knew that Shuang Jiang was there and shouldn’t be a problem, he was still taking precautions.
After all, Chen Jinshi and he were currently the closest to the Spirit Awakening Tower.
Chen Jinshi noticed Su Jingzhen’s movements, but didn’t take them seriously.
His gaze remained fixed on the Spirit Awakening Tower ahead.
The second orange beam of light was just as dazzling and resplendent as the first.
This suggested that perhaps the two mysterious spiritual roots were not Ning Yao’s limit.
Chen Jinshi’s eyes narrowed, and his face turned slightly gloomy.
Before this, his two mysterious spiritual roots were the best record holders of the Huayang Sect’s Jiangjin branch’s Spirit Awakening Ceremony in recent years.
It seemed that Ning Yao had already surpassed him.
The record being broken was not something Chen Jinshi couldn’t accept.
However, he had to kill Su Jingzhen today, and this kid was Su Jingzhen’s student, and also Zhang Xiu’s daughter.
This was a hidden danger in the future…
Just then, all the discussions and exclamations in the area suddenly ceased!
The entire square fell silent in an instant.
All because of the yellow beam of light that shot up from the Spirit Awakening Tower once again.
“Three… three colors?”
“This is… this is an earth spiritual root!”
