Chapter 62 - Variant Spirit Root
“Pseudo spirit root, fail!”
“Ordinary spirit root, fail”
“Superior-class spirit root, pass.”
…
Everyone continued proceeding to the stone gate where more than half of them were rejected.
Only those with a superior-class and above spirit root could get to pass the Spirit Testing Stage.
In the blink of an eye, there were only a couple dozens of people left with the haughty man, the white bloused woman, the little fatty and Su Zimo.
Excitedly, the skinny child whispered, “Junior brother, stand guard over here. I’ll go inform the peak master and be right back.”
“Yes, yes. Hurry on, senior brother,” The fat child replied hastily.
Right then, the white bloused woman outside the stone gate moved as well.
“Hold on, senior brother. We can wait till this one’s done too,” The fat Dao child called back the skinny one.
Nodding his head, the skinny child watched the white bloused woman keenly, seemingly even more nervous than her.
When she arrived before the stone gate, there was no color on the water barrier still.
This time round, no one dared to mock anymore.
“Could it be another variant spirit root?” The eyes of both children widened in disbelief.
Everyone else watched the stone gate with bated breath.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Suddenly, a layer of frost covered the water barrier before freezing it into ice!
“Ice element, variant spirit root!”
Everyone gasped.
“It’s been tens of years since a variant spirit root has appeared at Ethereal Peak! But now, there’s two in one go? No, I’ve got to hurry and report it to the peak master!”
The skinny child drew out a flying sword and sped towards the back of the peak, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Everyone else watched the haughty man and the white bloused woman with looks of admiration and respect.
The little fatty smiled his way to the white bloused woman before pandering to her, “Miss, you’re so beautiful. I’ve never seen a woman as beautiful as you in my life. You’re even prettier than our village beauty, Sister Caifeng!”
It was as though thunder had struck everyone present as they rolled their eyes.
That little fatty really did dare to say anything with drivel such as his village beauty, Sister Caifeng and whatnot.
He wasn’t wrong in his words – the white bloused woman was indeed extremely beautiful. However, most people would not dare to spout such truths, let alone in front of her.
Yet, the strange thing was that everything seemed natural and sincere when they came out of the little fatty’s mouth without a single bit of awkwardness.
If any other women heard such an open and brazen compliment, they would definitely feel shy. However, the girl was unmoved as she glared at the little fatty coldly without saying anything.
The little fatty wasn’t dissuaded as he slipped away to the haughty man’s side before commenting in awe, “Sir, you have such a good figure. I’m really envious!”
“Get away!”
The haughty man’s lips pursed slightly as he spat out those two words.
“Ah, alright!”
The little fatty nodded his head keenly as he disregarded cleanliness and rolled away on the floor immediately!
Because his figure resembled a ball to begin with, his rolling motion indeed made him look less than human.
The white bloused woman’s lips twitched as her frostiness diminished slightly, watching with a trace of bemusement.
Spying her expression with his sharp eyes, the little fatty stumbled over to the white bloused woman’s side with an intoxicated expression. His eyes seemed as though they were sparkling as he praised, “Wow, you really look so beautiful smiling!”
Instantly, the friendliness in the girl’s eyes disappeared. However, she stretched out her delicate hand and patted on the little fatty’s head, neither harshly nor gently.
Smiling with squinted eyes, the little fatty looked to be enjoying it.
“How could there be someone this shameless?!” Those were the words that passed through everyone’s minds.
When the fat child looked at the remaining tens of people and saw nothing special about them, he waved his hand patiently and demanded, “Continue with the test. Hurry up.”
Su Zimo tidied his clothes before heading up.
