Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 56 - 054 Genius Fallen

56: Chapter 054 Genius Fallen

56 -054 Genius Fallen

The radiance emanating from the crystal ball made everyone hold their breath.

Xiao Ye concentrated and looked over, seeing two large characters suddenly appear on the crystal ball.

Eight Acupoints!

Qing Feng’s expression shifted slightly, a smile appearing on his face, “Not bad, eight acupoints, almost upper class.”

“Only almost upper class?”

Chen Huan was somewhat dissatisfied and, after carefully confirming those large characters, reluctantly returned to his place.

Mu Tao saw this and shook his head with a laugh, “It seems this kid is still not convinced.

How rare is it to have upper class acupoints?

Even I only have eight acupoints.”

“Next!” Qing Feng continued.

Subsequently, several others came forward to test.

Xu Hong, who ranked just below Chen Huan, measured six acupoints, and the others had around four.

“It seems that having fewer than four acupoints qualifies as lower class, four to eight acupoints as intermediate, and those with nine or more are upper class.

As for reaching sixteen acupoints, they are extraordinary figures with Emperor’s Talent.” Xiao Ye mused, having gathered this information from Qing Feng’s words.

At this moment, an extremely ordinary-looking young man walked out slowly, causing the main hall to fall silent.

Because he was Ye Wuhen!

A genius who almost stepped into the Innate Realm!

Even if the title of Son of County was taken by Xiao Ye, Ye Wuhen was still seen by everyone as a figure comparable to the Son of County’s level.

How many acupoints would Ye Wuhen possess?

Everyone’s eyes brightened, watching Ye Wuhen’s movements, even Gu Chudong, who had been previously listless, became excited.

“Ye Wuhen, come test it.” Qing Feng urged.

Ye Wuhen nodded, extending his hand to place it on the crystal ball.

Buzz!

Instantly, the crystal ball shined even more brilliantly than Chen Huan’s, followed by the appearance of two large characters.

Nine Acupoints!

Seeing these two characters, Qing Feng was filled with excitement, “Haha, finally a genius with an upper class number of acupoints has appeared!”

“The future of this young man is destined to be extraordinary, truly like the Yangtze River’s waves pushing forward.” Mu Tao said with a face full of admiration. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

With Ye Wuhen’s number of acupoints, once he steps into the Innate Realm, his cultivation speed will far exceed many.

Amidst the envious eyes of others, Ye Wuhen returned, his gaze suddenly fixed on Xiao Ye, his battle intent intense.

“Xiao Ye, you’re my opponent.

I hope your number of acupoints is not less than mine, or it would be meaningless.” Ye Wuhen said.

Xiao Ye slightly smiled, not responding directly, but calmly walking towards Qing Feng.

“Xiao Ye is going to test now!”

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat, eyes filled with eager anticipation.

“With Brother Xiao’s talent, the number of acupoints he possesses will certainly exceed Ye Wuhen.”

“Isn’t it obvious?

I think Brother Xiao should have around twelve acupoints.”

“I believe Brother Xiao possesses Emperor’s Stature!”

…

A few youths quickly said.

As the saying goes, standing under a great tree is a good way to enjoy the shade, and in their eyes, Xiao Ye is that great tree, so they flattered him without restraint.

After all, they were hoping that once Xiao Ye entered the Chongyang Sect, he would take good care of them.

“Xiao Ye, go ahead and test.” Qing Feng encouraged with a look in his eyes.

Xiao Ye took a deep breath and placed his hand on the crystal ball.

The hall was silent, everyone was fixated on the crystal ball, even forgetting to breathe.

Buzz!

The crystal ball suddenly emitted a light, but it was not too bright, even rather dim.

Following that, two large characters appeared.

One Acupoint!

At that moment, everyone was stunned, their faces filled with disbelief, and the air seemed to cease flowing.

How is this possible?

The crystal ball must be broken!

Qing Feng was the first to react, he vehemently shook his head and even had Xiao Ye test again proactively.

Still, one acupoint!

“Only one acupoint!”

Seeing the two glaring characters on the crystal ball, Xiao Ye’s breathing became rapid, and his fists clenched tightly.

He, Xiao Ye, only possessed one acupoint!

Perhaps, looking across the True Spirit Continent, this was the lowest quantity ever.

The hall remained quiet, everyone’s expression becoming extremely peculiar, their gazes toward Xiao Ye filled with sympathy and pity.

The Son of County of Dahong County, only testing out one acupoint, this was downright a point of extreme irony, not even measuring up to an ordinary person.

Trash!

In an instant, these two words surfaced in everyone’s mind.

“Cough, cough!” Mu Tao nearly choked on his own saliva.

“Who would’ve thought that the proud Son of County of Dahong County only had one acupoint?

If this gets out to the sect, it would surely make others laugh till they drop.” Gu Chudong said with a stunned expression, and then sarcastically added.

“One acupoint, this is no different from being useless, simply a heavenly blessing for me!” Gu Chudong felt ecstatic inside.

Originally he had given up on seeking revenge against Xiao Ye, but now he saw hope again.

What does being the Son of County of Dahong County matter?

With only one acupoint, it’s enough to sentence him to death!

The massive Chongyang Sect wouldn’t care about the life or death of a waste!

“Sigh.” Ye Wuhen sighed.

It seemed Xiao Ye was no longer fit to be his opponent.

Once they entered the Innate Realm, they would quickly widen the gap, with not even a hint of comparability.

“I thought this kid was a genius, didn’t expect him to be trash; all that flattery from me was just a waste of breath, pfft!”

“Cut it out, you only flattered him a few times.

I almost introduced my sister to him, thank goodness he didn’t agree, or else wouldn’t I have pushed my sister into a fire pit?”

“Hey, one acupoint, truly useless beyond words.”

The few youths who had previously flattered Xiao Ye discussed among themselves.

Such harsh words reached Xiao Ye’s ears, turning his eyes cold, and his chest filled with endless rage, finding these people too opportunistic!

“Say it again if you dare!” Xiao Ye said coldly.

The few youths gasped, staggering back a few steps, their expressions becoming unnatural.

Xiao Ye’s current cultivation was not something they could contend with.

“Xiao Ye, do not be presumptuous!” At this moment, Gu Chudong stepped out boldly, blocking Xiao Ye, his face mocking, clearly intending to back up those youths.

Xiao Ye’s body trembled violently, he took several deep breaths to suppress his anger.

“I will remember today’s events.” Xiao Ye glanced at those youths, turned around, and left, leaving behind a resolute figure.

“Huh, a piece of trash, who are you to be so arrogant?

Once I step into the Innate Realm, you’ll be the first I trample, savoring the thrill of putting a genius in their place.” A slick-haired youth remarked disdainfully.

…

Xiao Ye returned to the inn, lost and disheartened.

Facing Shao Yan’s inquiry, he didn’t respond and instead closed the door tightly behind him.

“Damn heavens, are you toying with me?” Xiao Ye roared in his heart.

He had just earned the title of Son of County, standing high on the clouds, enjoying the admiration and flattery from others, only to be cast into boundless hell, never to rise again.

This drastic reversal could indeed drive a person mad.

“One acupoint, haha, how ironic!” Xiao Ye’s expression was mournful as he looked up and laughed.

He had worked hard all along to enter the Chongyang Sect, to defeat Zhao Qian, to wash away his humiliations and make those who belittled him regret.

But now, with only one acupoint, does he still have that qualification?

Even though he hadn’t yet stepped into the Innate Realm, from the expressions of Qing Feng and others, he could guess just how useless one acupoint must be.

“I, Xiao Ye, refuse to be a waste in this life!” Xiao Ye’s eyes sparkled, “So what if it’s only one acupoint?

As long as I can still cultivate, there is hope!”

Xiao Ye slowly calmed his tumultuous emotions, recalling his cultivation journey.

He realized that the time tower, not his innate talent, was his greatest reliance apart from diligent effort in achieving a breakthrough to Half-step Innate Realm so quickly.

Thus, having only one acupoint was quite normal.

“Right, the Time Tower!” Xiao Ye’s mind lit up, filled with excitement.

“How could I have forgotten the Time Tower, I really am stupid!”

The Time Tower’s unique and most powerful attribute is that the time flow within it slows down.

The fact that he holds the title of Son of County is largely due to the existence of the Time Tower.

“The function of acupoints is to connect with Heaven and Earth, absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and transform it into Innate True Qi.

Absorption through one acupoint is naturally slow.”

“But if within the first level of the Time Tower, where time slows down, couldn’t I absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi at a speed comparable to a genius with ten acupoints?”

“On the second level, if the time flow slows twenty times, then I can rival a genius with twenty acupoints!” Thinking of this, Xiao Ye was instantly filled with excitement.

Twenty acupoints, what does that signify?

The Invincible Emperor among the Human Race Four Emperors, regarded as the most extraordinarily talented, had twenty-one acupoints, enabling him to break through the Innate Realm rapidly, hailed as the first prodigy of the True Spirit Continent, unparalleled through history.

“As long as I can step into the second level of the Time Tower, I can become a talent of Emperor’s Stature level, surpassing the other three Great Emperors, second only to the Invincible Emperor!”

If this news were to spread, it would surely astonish the entire world.

Throughout the countless ages of the True Spirit Continent, though several geniuses with Emperor’s Stature had emerged, none were terrifying enough to rank just below the Invincible Emperor.

The Invincible Emperor has become a monument, and the cultivation records he set in every realm remain unbroken!

Xiao Ye’s eyes gleamed with excitement, he couldn’t resist the urge to roar skyward to vent his inner thrill.

According to the consciousness transmitted by the Time Tower, as soon as he ascends to the Innate Realm, he can step into the second level of the Time Tower.

Moreover, as his cultivation progresses, he could even enter the third, fourth, and eventually the fifth level!

By then, he is confident in breaking the Invincible Emperor’s records.

“Invincible Emperor, I wish to compete with you, to see whose cultivation speed is truly faster.” Xiao Ye’s heart swelled with lofty ambition, eager to measure himself against the Invincible Emperor.

In this moment, his future appeared bright.

Though each time he enters the Time Tower, only his consciousness enters while his physical body remains outside, through long periods of exploration, he very well understands that cultivating within the Time Tower is no different from reality.

“Right now, diligent cultivation is needed to reach the Innate Realm again,” Xiao Ye spoke with renewed confidence, shaking off his despondence.

After all, once he steps into the Innate Realm, he could become a prodigy with Emperor’s Stature again, and furthermore, continue to comprehend the Martial Arts True Intent within the Flame Saber World.

“Oh, those who have underestimated me, watch closely.” Xiao Ye murmured.
