Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 931: Latent Threat

"Heaven Level beginner... Innate Water Spirit Root..."

One of the four Elders suddenly stood up, muttering to himself, his voice shaking with barely suppressed excitement.

"Good! Our Bitao Martial Academy finally has another Innate Spiritual Root!"

"Only seventeen years old and already a Heaven Level Martial Artist, even surpassing our External Courtyard disciple Gao Shuxian by a good margin!"

"Haha, may the Ancestor bless us! The rise of Bitao Martial Academy is hopeful!"

The other three Elders were also brimming with excitement, laughing and looking at each other, and when they looked at Liu Qingqing, it was as if they were gazing upon a priceless treasure.

"I didn’t have much hope for this round of disciple recruitment, but to think, such a delightful surprise awaited us! This is an auspicious sign! I have a feeling that there may be more surprises in store for us!"

One Elder spoke with eyebrows dancing with delight.

"This girl has an Innate Water Spirit Root; once she has been honed in the Academy for some time, she will become my disciple!"

The only female Elder among the four said with a chuckle, her expression full of joy.

Upon hearing her words, the other three Elders, though visibly displeased, found themselves unable to argue with the female Elder.

Since that female Elder was also a cultivator of Water System Techniques, it would be most appropriate for her to pass on the Martial Arts Techniques to Liu Qingqing in the future.

Liu Qingqing’s emergence had captured the attention of everyone present, yet just at that moment, a female disciple from the External Courtyard of Bitao Martial Academy, responsible for maintaining order on the western side of the square, glared at Liu Qingqing with fury in her eyes, her teeth itching with hatred.

This External Courtyard female disciple of Bitao Martial Academy was dressed in a red dress, in her early twenties, and quite beautiful—the same Gao Shuxian whom Fang Bai and his friends had encountered in the Dashan Mountains outside Liuhu Village.

Gao Shuxian was also considered a favored daughter of heaven within the Bitao Martial Academy, with many admirers. However, she was arrogant and proud due to her status, and there were also many who disliked her.

Not long ago, Gao Shuxian went on a training expedition with several Bitao Martial Academy disciples. In the Dashan range outside Liuhu Village, they clashed with Fang Bai and the others. Fang Bai gave her a harsh lesson, leaving her in a sorry state and humiliated in front of her peers, and thus she held deep hatred for Fang Bai and his companions.

In fact, Gao Shuxian had already noticed Liu Liehu when he stepped up for the test, and right after she saw Liu Qingqing and Fang Bai waiting below the stage. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Gao Shuxian was a woman with a narrow heart and an eye for revenge. Upon discovering Fang Bai and his two companions, her rage burned fiercely, and she would have loved nothing more than to rush over and seek retribution. She was, however, aware that acting on impulse at such an event would displease the Elders, so she managed to control herself.

When it was Liu Qingqing’s turn to undergo the test, her astonishing performance drew the attention of all the Martial Artists present, and even the four Elders showed her considerable favor. This made Gao Shuxian extremely jealous.

Gao Shuxian was till now the only disciple with an Innate Spiritual Root in the entire Bitao Martial Academy apart from the head of the Academy. The Academy thus placed great importance on her, investing an immense amount of Cultivation Resources in her and showering her with affection.

Yet the appearance of Liu Qingqing made her feel an imminent threat.

Liu Qingqing was also endowed with an Innate Spiritual Root and had already attained a level of strength comparable to hers. However, Liu Qingqing’s younger age was a clear advantage over her.

Gao Shuxian could even imagine that once Liu Qingqing entered the Bitao Martial Academy, she would become the new darling of the Academy’s higher-ups. If her strength were to surpass her own in the future, then she would be thoroughly crushed by Liu Qingqing.

"This woman poses too great a threat to me; she must die! Humph! Once she’s in the Bitao Martial Academy, I have a hundred ways to kill her!"

Gao Shuxian looked at Liu Qingqing hatefully, a trace of murderous intent flickering in her eyes.

As murderous intent surged in her heart, Fang Bai, standing in the square, glanced over in her direction, intentionally or otherwise, and a cold smile graced his lips.

Liu Qingqing, having completed her test, walked to the side and stood with her brother, Liu Liehu. The siblings exchanged a smile, knowing that becoming disciples of the Bitao Martial Academy was nearly a certainty, and their hearts were filled with endless joy.

They turned their gaze to Fang Bai, full of anticipation for his performance.

The siblings had known Fang Bai for a long time but had never been able to grasp just how strong he really was, only aware that he was shrouded in mystery and seemed to be unfazed by any difficulty.

Before the Ruyi Stone, however, no martial artist’s cultivation level could escape exposure, and the siblings were eager to take this chance to see Fang Bai’s true strength.

In the hearts of the brother and sister, there was no question of Fang Bai becoming a disciple of the Bitao Martial Academy; the key was the realm of his cultivation level when he joined.

Based on the strength Fang Bai had shown before, the siblings felt that his cultivation level was at least that of the middle stage of the Heaven Level realm.

If the result of the Ruyi Stone test reflected this, then upon entering the Bitao Martial Academy, Fang Bai could immediately become a disciple of the Inner Court.

At this thought, Liu Liehu couldn’t help feeling a bit downhearted.

Liu Liehu’s cultivation level was at Earth Level Perfection, and upon entering the Bitao Martial Academy, he could only be a menial servant disciple, unable to cultivate in the External Courtyard with his sister Liu Qingqing, let alone cultivate with Fang Bai in the Inner Court.

However, what consoled Liu Liehu was that the martial arts techniques Fang Bai had taught him before were exquisite. According to Fang Bai, as long as he persisted in his cultivation, he would soon advance to the Heaven Level realm and become a disciple of the External Courtyard, possibly joining his sister Liu Qingqing.

Fang Bai was in the same queue as Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu. After Liu Qingqing’s test, it was his turn next.

With a smile on his lips, he walked leisurely to the Ruyi Stone, extended his right palm, and gently placed it upon the stone.

"This man is even more loathsome than Liu Qingqing; he must also die!"

From a distance, Gao Shuxian, upon seeing Fang Bai, felt her hatred intensify and the murderous look in her eyes grow thicker.

Gao Shuxian knew she was not as powerful as Fang Bai, but within the Bitao Martial Academy were many who admired her, including some disciples stronger than herself.

Confidently, Gao Shuxian believed that, with a single call from her, many academy disciples would risk their lives for her, presenting numerous opportunities to kill Fang Bai.

Even though the Bitao Martial Academy strictly forbids disciples from killing one another, every year the academy organizes disciples to go on external cultivation experiences, and casualties are a common occurrence during these times. Then, by coordinating with some disciples to kill Fang Bai without anyone noticing, who would know?

While Gao Shuxian was proudly entertaining these thoughts, she was suddenly interrupted by a chorus of gasps rising from the square.

She focused her gaze and realized that those gasps were due to Fang Bai.

Fang Bai’s test results had come out, and Gao Shuxian glanced at the Ruyi Stone before him, standing frozen in shock, her complexion turning extremely ugly.

"Fang Bai, twenty years old, middle stage Heaven Level, Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root of Fire and Wood!"

When the disciple from the Inner Court standing beside the Ruyi Stone in front of Fang Bai announced the test results, the gasps from the crowd grew louder, and all eyes fell upon Fang Bai.

The four elders from the Bitao Martial Academy also rose from their stone chairs, their expressions filled with ecstasy.
