"A genius finally emerged this year, and I didn't expect it to be a girl."
Xia Chuan followed the voice and saw clearly who was coming.
"Third Elder??"
From Xia Chuan's perspective, the third elder was very busy on weekdays, but he didn't expect that he would have time to take care of such trivial matters today.
"Xia Chuan, is this the newcomer who brought you to the fifty-second floor?"
The third elder looked at Mu Zhiyuan lying on the ground. At this time, she had calmed down a lot, but there was still no sign of waking up.
"yes!"
Xia Chuan wanted to stand up and salute, but he had no strength, so he could only sit cross-legged on the ground and cup his hands.
"This girl's name is Mu Zhiyuan, she is the daughter of the lord of Crescent City, and her talent is a genuine fifty-two points!"
"good!"
The third elder immediately burst into laughter, hugging Xia Chuan with one arm and Mu Zhiyuan with the other, preparing to fight them out.
"Third Elder, wait a minute..."
Xia Chuan on his shoulder said weakly.
"There...is another person inside..."
"What did you say???"
The third elder opened his bright little eyes for the first time and put his ear to Xia Chuan's side.
"...There is another person inside. Forgive me for my incompetence...I really can't keep up with that person."
Xia Chuan looked shy when he said this. But this was indeed a crushing blow in terms of talent.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
The third elder quickly put Xia Chuan and Mu Zhiyuan down.
"You guys wait for me here, I'll go in first and bring that kid out! Hahahaha!"
The third elder who dropped the two men rushed towards the fifty-third floor without looking back.
There is a chance, there is a chance! Finally there is a chance! According to this situation, this new student is very likely to break through the fifty-five points of spiritual energy affinity and reach the income standard of a closed disciple!
Song Donglai was thinking in his mind, and finally waited for this day. The two outstanding disciples before were snatched away by the First Elder and the Second Elder, and Song Donglai was already over a hundred years old, but he never met the disciple he wanted. This has always been in his heart.
Regret. Now, is the opportunity coming?!
The fifty-third floor of the pagoda.
Song Donglai, who entered the fifty-third floor, prayed secretly in his heart.
Don't show up...
As long as there is no one on this level, it means that this new student is at a level with better talent! This is what Song Donglai is most happy to see!
"good!!"
The fifty-third floor was empty, and Song Donglai ran to the fifty-fourth floor excitedly. At this time, the third elder still looked like an elder who was half immortal, and he turned into a happy little old man.
But this is also something he is happy from the bottom of his heart. Is there anything in the world that makes him happier than receiving a disciple he likes?
The fifty-fourth floor of the pagoda.
"good!!!"
Song Donglai heard another strange cry.
This new student's talent has reached fifty-five points, which is already on par with the one under the second elder.
"Huh huh. Second brother, let's see if you dare to make trouble against this disciple this time!"
Song Donglai laughed proudly.
Although he ranks third among the elders, his status in the sect is very high because of his ability in the spiritual formation. He is even higher than the first elder and the second elder.
Although the Second Elder's status and prestige were not as high as those of Song Donglai, he would always brag about how good his precious disciple was. Whenever this happened, Song Donglai would feel jealous and jealous.
The fifty-fifth floor of the pagoda.
"Good boy, keep charging for me! If you surpass your senior brother Qi Yan, you will be the most talented person in the sect!!"
Song Donglai jumped up excitedly. The new student's talent has surpassed that of the second elder's disciple Li Shanhe. And he is approaching the first elder's disciple Qi Yan!
Qi Yan's talent has reached a terrifying fifty-seven points, and this new student really has a chance...
Thinking of this, Song Donglai's throat wriggled hard and he couldn't help clenching his fists.
The fifty-sixth floor of the spiritual pagoda was still empty. Only the ferocious spiritual fire was raging wildly. But none of it could touch Song Donglai.
Song Donglai's eyes even started to turn a little red.
This new student's talent has reached a terrifying fifty-seven points, which is equivalent to Qi Yan!
But only now did Song Donglai realize that his physical condition was not very good either.
His clothes were wet with sweat, and his white eyebrows and white beard were stuck to his face, making him look miserable.
In my impression, the last time I went deep into the spiritual pagoda like this was when I was testing my talent more than a hundred years ago. Song Donglai's talent and the talent of the leader were the highest in Suzaku, reaching fifty-eight points!
"If we go any further, my old bones won't be able to bear it anymore. Just get out of here, but no one can take you out if you go forward!"
Song Donglai shouted feebly, and then stepped onto the fifty-seventh and fifty-eighth floors.
There is still no one on the fifty-eighth floor of the pagoda!
"Holy crap! This guy couldn't have run out of the tower!"
Song Donglai fell down on the ground tiredly, feeling secretly happy and complaining at the same time.
It seems that I can only temporarily extinguish the spiritual fire in the spiritual tower and bring myself and the boy out.
Thinking of this, Song Donglai couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain in his body. If he extinguished the spiritual fire and rekindled it, it would consume a huge amount of spiritual stones. But if it didn't extinguish, no one would be able to bring him out.
"Hey, that's all we can do."
Song Donglai also took out a spiritual talisman from his arms.
“I didn’t expect that one day I would be able to use the magic talisman!”
With a bang, the magic talisman was crushed, and a burst of brilliance emitted...
Outside the pagoda.
Deacon Qin staggered and almost fell to his knees on the ground. Fortunately, Lu Pinglang who was at the side quickly supported him.
"Mr. Qin, you..."
Lu Pinglang looked surprised. He had never seen Deacon Qin look so panicked.
Deacon Qin trembled and said in disbelief.
"The third elder...crushed the spiritual talisman!"
"Third Elder?? Impossible!"
Lu Pinglang was the first to not believe it.
"The third elder is extremely talented, how could he be trapped in the spiritual pagoda??"
Deacon Qin calmed down and spoke slowly.
"It's on the fifty-eighth floor of the spiritual pagoda..."
"The fifty-eighth floor..." Lu Pinglang suddenly felt that the world was spinning. There was no reason for the third elder to go deep into the fifty-eighth floor alone.
Could it be that there is someone among the freshmen...
Thinking of this possibility, Lu Pinglang's expression changed drastically.
"Pinglang... Go and ask the leader to make a decision. This situation is no longer something you and I can handle."
…
After a while, a tall, middle-aged man walked over with Lu Pinglang.
The middle-aged man walked with his hands behind his back, walking like a dragon or a tiger, and his eyes were filled with light.
And this tall, middle-aged man is the current head of the Suzaku Sect - Lu Xian!
"Hello, Master!!"
The disciples and deacons present all bowed and saluted. Lu Xian usually has a high prestige in the sect because of his upright style. He is not very old, but he is already the number one person in the Suzaku Sect in terms of cultivation, reaching the third level of Wang Lingjing!
The number of powerful people in the Wang Ling realm in the entire Wind and Fire Kingdom can be counted on one's fingers.
The Suzaku Sect has grown rapidly over the years, which is inseparable from Lu Xian's tough tactics.
"Hmm. I heard that the third elder is trapped in the spiritual pagoda?"
As soon as Lu Xian asked, Deacon Qin couldn't even stand upright.
"Back to the leader... The third elder was originally going to the fifty-second floor to bring Xia Chuan back... Somehow, he reached the fifty-eighth floor and crushed the talisman!"
Deacon Qin told the story in detail, not daring to exaggerate or conceal anything.
"Oh? So there is a great person among the freshmen?"
Lu Xianyi raised his eyebrows. There is no way that the Third Elder could have trapped him in there by himself, right? The only explanation is that there are newcomers who have the same or even higher talent than the Third Elder!
"This... Lu Yuan doesn't know." Deacon Qin did not dare to answer, after all, he was not sure yet.
"Well..."
Lu Xian pondered for a moment.
"Anyway, the spiritual pagoda is out. It's important to get the third elder out first!"
"yes!!"
Lu Xian waved his hand, and all the disciples and deacons started to move.
…
The fifty-ninth floor of the pagoda.
Lin Lang finally fell on this floor.
At this time, he was no different from anyone else, lying on the ground without even the strength to lift a finger.
The fifty-ninth floor of the pagoda was like hell, with raging flames everywhere. From a distance, it looked like a sea of fire. The fire was several times more violent than that on the forty-fifth floor.
"The fifty-nine levels of spiritual fire are so fierce. It's hard to imagine what the next forty levels will be like."
Lin Lang felt a yearning for the top of the tower.
"Stop talking and get some rest. The Vermillion Bird Sect really doesn't know how to appreciate talents after so long and no one has come in to save you!"
Qing'er said angrily, but she didn't know that the most talented person in the entire Suzaku Sect and the most able to climb the tower had already fallen behind Lin Lang...
