Since it was time to be arrogant, then he might as well be arrogant to the extreme!

Ridiculing me because of my crippled body, huh?

Fine then! I shall use a crippled body to slap your faces!

Maxwell roared into the sky: "Five million mana points, charge out for me!"

The mana value was controlled by Maxwell’s senses, so it instantly decreased by five million points. His robe started flapping as raging winds suddenly swirled around his feet and blew the surrounding dust away. His whole body was currently exuding an unimaginable amount of power!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Thunderous sounds kept exploding inside Maxwell’s body.

The mana inside him coursed through his arm and into the palm of his hand. Then, from the palm of his hand, it entered the crystal column in an endless flow.

The crystal column started exploding forth a humming sound. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The sound was similar to a machine that was filled with energy. The crystal column’s lower portion then started becoming bright.

Another portion became bright.

The crystal column was divided into equal sections and was very similar to those sci-fi novels where each energy meter’s block was slowly being filled up.

Except...

The energy required to fill the crystal column was way too much.

"It’s blue now!"

"It’s already reached the blue level, meaning one’s body has reached the rank of being like the sea. Based on the assessment requirements, he has already reached the target standard."

"It’s still rising, and the light is still changing."

"Oh heavens! What on earth is going on? My heart can’t handle any more of this! How the hell did he do that? How can someone with a crippled body circulate their mana? This is something absolutely impossible!"

The crowd in the martial training field was boiling over.

There was not a single person who was not shocked by Maxwell.

At the same time, their faces turned a colour like pig liver with incomparably ugly looks. The purple liver colour contained traces of black, as if it had been slapped over a hundred times.

The sounds of ridicule were just lingering around the training field.

Their words were still echoing in the air of the training field. Now they’ve realised what a joke they were, similar to a dancing clown prancing around.

Uncomfortable!

An extremely uncomfortable feeling!

Venerable Bjorn’s face turned green. Maxwell’s words had made him feel rage and shame at the same time. What had the Gold Immortal Sect been doing all these years?

They hid when there was trouble.

They didn’t even dare to participate in this year’s Immortal Sect Disciple Competition.

They were simply cowards!

Maxwell’s words were like a thunderous explosion echoing inside him. Watching the light from the crystal column keep changing and keep surging upwards, a trace of hope rose in his heart. But he then shook his head and said to himself, "Why would I have these thoughts? How can a martial artist with a crippled body save our immortal sect? It’s absolutely impossible. I’m overthinking things."

The other eight Elders also had extremely ugly looks on their faces.

At this time...

The entire martial training field had become Maxwell’s stage.

The whole area was so quiet that it made some people unnerved. There were even some people who couldn’t look at Maxwell anymore because their hearts couldn’t endure it.

"It’s purple now!"

"The crystal column has reached the purple colour."

"My heavens! This is the first time I’ve seen someone’s body reach the purple rank."

"..."

Another round of shock!

Maxwell widened his eyes and glared at the surrounding disciples. He then shouted: "First of all: So what if the enemies are strong? Second: So what if they’re the number two immortal sect? We, humans, live on this world as proud existences. Fight if you don’t submit! There has never been a place for retreat on the martial path. If you retreat once, you will keep retreating in the future. As this continues, how can you make yourself stronger? You will create a shadow in your heart by then, so how can you increase your cultivation further?"

One had to live in an elegant and unrestrained lifestyle.

If I can’t beat you conventionally, then I will change to unconventional methods to play you to death!

When facing any problems, difficulties or a powerful enemy, one cannot give up! Or else your heart to become stronger will be affected!

His voice was echoing above the training field.

Maxwell’s expression changed. Out of the five million mana points, less than one-fifth was used up at this point. Seeing how the disciples were savouring his words, he roared out: "Explode for me!"

"Bang!"

"Bang..."

Purple!

Dark purple, then grey, then black, then gold, then dark gold, then reaching the peak of colourless light.

"Boom!"

The topmost part of the crystal column exploded upwards.

It couldn’t handle the mana coming from Maxwell’s body, so it directly exploded!

One needs to understand that this crystal column was something the old ancestor of the sect brought back from the outer territories. It was supposed to be even tougher than some divine artefacts!

Yet the tip of it burst apart from Maxwell’s mana.

The whole training field rose in a clamour!

Some were so agitated that tears started coming out of their eyes.

Many people were rubbing their eyes and mumbling: "Hallucination... I’m definitely hallucinating right now. This can’t be happening; it’s not real."

Maxwell’s appearance had completely flipped their understanding of martial artists upside down.

Their views and thoughts were all distorted, and they couldn’t understand it!

"Boom!"

Mana surged into the sky through the crystal column’s tip. A rainbow colored light surged into the sky at the speed of light and disappeared beyond the clouds. Creatures tens of millions of kilometres outward were shocked and frightened by this. Also, at this moment in time, all creatures were crying in unison. Sounds of thunder rumbled through all nine heavens, and the earth started shaking nonstop.

Maxwell’s body was exuding an aura as if he were looking down on everything in the world! He was a complete mess right now!

A while later...

Maxwell faintly breathed out while his forehead was covered in small beads of sweat. Using up five million mana in such a short time really took a toll on one’s mentality. But the feeling he got in return was really too cool. Looking at the dumbstruck expressions on all the Gold Immortal Sect disciples, Maxwell’s heart started boiling up.

He had shocked them to this point by just using five million mana. What if he fuses the Azure Dragon and Phoenix bloodlines?

Wouldn’t their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys all shatter from shock?!

Maxwell walked in front of Venerable Bjorn in neither fast nor slow fashion. He then asked: "Grand Elder, Second Elder, and all other Elders: I would like to ask if I’m qualified now? Have I passed the assessment?"

Venerable Bjorn looked at Maxwell.

The other eight Elders all looked at Maxwell.

They all wished to see through Maxwell. They wanted to see what kind of powers he was hiding inside him.

But...

None of them was able to see clearly.

All they saw was the original crippled body and a normal person’s bloodline coursing through his body. There was absolutely nothing special about him at all.

Venerable Bjorn wet his lips due to the dryness. He had suddenly forgotten what he wanted to say.

"Agree to his request!"

"Agree to his request!"

"If this awesome person can’t even pass the assessment, then I’m going to refuse to take the tests!"

"Same with me!"

"This kid is too awesome! I have never seen such an awesome person in my entire life."

"Grand Elder, comply with him."

"Let him stay!"

Maxwell had convinced many people to come here for the assessment on the martial training field.

They were completely shocked by him.

Venerable Bjorn’s mind felt like it was sinking endlessly before glancing over at the Second Elder.

Elder Thomas had a gloomy expression on his face and couldn’t say a word.

All the other Elders looked the same as they couldn’t say a single word either.

Luo Tian faintly smiled and said, "What? You still want me to show you my inherited bloodline, huh?"

Maxwell’s words made the training field silent once again.

Venerable Bjorn stared intently at Maxwell with an incredulous expression and asked, "You have an inherited bloodline?"

"What do you think?"

Maxwell replied with a faint smile. When he saw how serious Venerable Bjorn was, he continued: "Don’t act so serious, I’m only joking. How would I have an inherited bloodline? If I really did have a special inherited bloodline, I would’ve shown it off already, hahaha..."

Venerable Bjorn’s expression turned gloomy before rolling his eyes at Maxwell.

"You damn scoundrel, you dare to fool the Grand Elder?!"

An Elder jumped out and scolded.

Venerable Bjorn didn’t seem too angry and said, "Maxwell, you have passed the assessment, so you are now an outer sect disciple. As to which Hall disciple you will be part of, I will need to discuss this with the Sect Leader. We also need to see which Gold Immortal Sect Hall is willing to accept you."

After saying that...

Venerable Bjorn gave Maxwell another serious look.

Right after that...

He flicked his sleeves and said, "Our Gold Immortal Sect isn’t as weak and useless as you think. The disciples you’ve challenged today are all outer sect disciples, so their cultivation focus isn’t on those occupations. Look after yourself in the outer sect."

After saying that...

Venerable Bjorn announced, "Return to the main hall!"

A group of immortal-like clouds started rising into the air.

The nine Elders floated into the sky and instantly disappeared.
