1909 The End Of The Innate Talent Assessmen

Upon hearing Elder Huo's words, Duan Ling Tian eyes lit up immediately. "Devouring other people's Innate Spiritual Roots to strengthen my Innate Spiritual Root?"

This method could be considered as a shortcut as well if it worked. At the very least, it was more reliable than searching for Spiritual items that he had not seen before.

"Yes, devouring other people's Innate Spiritual Roots," Elder Huo responded, "Theoretically, it should work. You'll need to put it into action to see if it'll actually work. If it works, the person whose Innate Spiritual Root is devoured by you will lose his Innate Spiritual Root. He would probably wish he's dead since he wouldn't be able to raise his cultivation base for the rest of his life once you devour his Innate Spiritual Root."

Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Although it sounded ruthless to devour other people's Innate Spiritual Roots, he would not do it indiscriminately. He would only target those people who deserved it or those who had offended him! He would not feel guilty if he did it this way!

Although strength was everything in this world, Duan Ling Tian still had his conscience. If he did not have a conscience, what different would he be from a cold-blooded beast? Humans were different from beasts because of their conscience!

Duan Ling Tian did not reject this method of improving his Innate Spiritual Root even though it was ruthless since he knew he would only target those who deserved it. An example of such a person was Li An!

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian raised his head to look at the Black Turtle Sanctum's Silver Flame Elder Li An who was looking at him disdainfully. 'With my current strength, it'll be difficult for me to get near him, let alone devouring his Innate Spiritual Root… Stronger… I need to get stronger. Currently, I'm still too weak!" Although Duan Ling Tian was quite strong, he still felt a sense of helplessness when he was faced with Li An.

Not only was Li An a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse, but he was also ranked in the top 300 on the Supreme Saint Ranking. He could not compare to someone like that at this moment. Even if he used his Jasper Celestial Sword, he would not be able to hurt Li An at all. Instead, he would be killed by Li An. The gap between him and Li An was just too wide now!

'If I pass the assessment and remain in the Black Turtle Sanctum, Li An definitely won't personally make his move. If I possess the indigo Innate Spiritual Root that even the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect regards highly, he would definitely personally make a move even if it would be dangerous. Now that he sees I only have a yellow Innate Spiritual Root, he'll think I'm not worthy of him personally making a move.' Li An would be shocked if he could hear Duan Ling Tian's thoughts This was because Duan Ling Tian was right.

Originally, Li An had already mentally prepared himself to kill Duan Ling Tian so that he would not bring trouble to him in the future. He would have to take the risk because Duan Ling Tian possessed the indigo Spiritual Root. When he saw Duan Ling Tian merely possessed the yellow Innate Spiritual Root, he no longer saw him as a threat. After all, Duan Ling Tian was merely an old man who had disguised himself and concealed his innate talent. Li An found it to be beneath him to personally make a move on such a person!

'However, even if Li An doesn't personally make his move, he'll definitely send someone else to deal with me! At that time, I'll devour the Innate Spiritual Root of the first person he sends to improve my Innate Spiritual Root!' Duan Ling Tian became excited the moment he thought of this. He could not wait for Li An to send his men over to deal with him!

'Is it too early for me to get excited? Elder Huo said that using the Elementary Devouring Tactic to devour Innate Spiritual Roots is only theoretical. It might not work when we put it to the test." Duan Ling Tian felt as though he had been splashed with a bucket of cold water when he thought of this.

Duan Ling Tian naturally retreated since his assessment had ended. Unlike before, now that everyone saw he only possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root, nobody paid much attention to him anymore. He was not worthy of their attention.

At this moment, they all thoroughly believed that Duan Ling Tian was an old man who had disguised himself and concealed his cultivation base to get attention. They all looked down at him.

Someone glanced at Duan Ling Tian and said with disgust, "You're already so old, but you dare to pretend to be young?!"

"It's still acceptable if he merely pretends to be young. However, he's overdone it! He even fooled the two Silver Flame Elders from the Black Turtle Sanctum into thinking he was a genius. It's a good thing that the truth is revealed during the innate talent assessment!"

"How disgusting! Previously, I thought I've encountered a genius from the younger generation. I can't believe he turned out to be a lewd old man in disguise!"

"You know what I think? This person should just go to hell! He's just too disgusting!"



Although most people did not pay attention to Duan Ling Tian, there were some people who mocked him without restraint.

'These people…' Duan Ling Tian frowned and glanced at those people who mocked him with a displeased expression on his face. 'I don't know them, and I've not offended them. Put aside the fact that I'm not disguising myself, it's acceptable for them to complain since they don't know any better. However, isn't too much for that guy to ask me to go to hell?'

These few people who mocked Duan Ling Tian were standing near him so they saw the frown and displeased expression on his face. However, when they saw it, they all looked at him disdainfully.

"What are you looking at? Old pervert, are you unhappy that we're talking about you?" One of them asked with a sneer.

If Duan Ling Tian was a genius with blue or indigo Innate Spiritual Root, they would not dare to offend him. However, now that they learned that he only possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root, there was no reason for them to be wary of him. Perhaps, they could even curry favor with First Silver Flame Elder Li An.

Duan Ling Tian's expression turned grave, and he said coldly, "You better watch your mouth!"

He had some impression of the person who had spoken. He was one of the few people who possessed a green Innate Spiritual Root. He was a fierce-looking and burly middle-aged man named Gu Chun.

Currently, Gu Chun was looking at Duan Ling Tian with a cold expression and a fierce smile on his face. It was as though he had a great enmity with Duan Ling Tian.

"You're a Martial Cultivator who only has the yellow Innate Spiritual Root, and yet, you dare to act unhappy in front of me?" Gu Chun was dumbfounded.

As soon as Gu Chun finished speaking, someone standing nearby who clearly wanted to stir up the situation said, "Gu Chun, have you forgotten that he even dared to kill Yang Wu, the son of the fifth elder from the Northern Plethora Sect… You're only a sectless cultivator. How could he possibly respect you?"

Gu Chun finally remembered Duan Ling Tian had killed the son of the fifth elder from the Northern Plethora Sect yesterday when he heard that person's words!

A sense of dread rose up in his heart immediately!

Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian's innate talent was inferior to his. However, based on his actions yesterday, he was definitely a ruthless person. Otherwise, he would not have dared to offend Elder Li An and kill Yang Wu.

Various expressions flitted across Gu Chun's face, and he was no longer acting as overbearing as before. He was finally afraid.

Duan Ling Tian knew what Gu Chun was thinking when he saw the expressions on his face. He instantly sneered. He glanced at him indifferently before he shifted his attention to the four people who were currently undergoing the innate talent assessment.

When Gu Chun saw Duan Ling Tian's disdainful expression, he felt humiliated. He fisted his hands as his body trembled, and he clenched his teeth. He hated Duan Ling Tian so much at this moment. However, he could only endure it for now.

Although he was an Early Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, he did not dare to act recklessly before he understood his opponent better.

Who knew if Duan Ling Tian's cultivation base was at the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage or above?

'Duan Ling Tian, my innate talent is higher than yours. Even if I'm no match for you now, I'll definitely surpass you one day and make you kneel and beg for forgiveness!' Gu Chun thought to himself angrily.

The little dispute between Duan Ling Tian and Gu Chun did not attract too much attention. Most people's attention was focused on the innate talent assessment.

In the end, two more people were discovered to possess a green Innate Spiritual Root.

"Green Spiritual Root…" Duan Ling Tian's eyes were filled with envy when he looked at the two men who possessed green Innate Spiritual Roots. After all, his Innate Spiritual Root was only a yellow Spiritual Root. It was a level below the green Spiritual Root.

After the innate talent assessment ended, it was time for the strength assessment. The strength assessment was carried out in two groups.

One of the groups consisted of those who possessed green Innate Spiritual Roots. Their assessment was a lot easier. As long as those people's cultivation base were at the Divine Saint Stage or above, they were sure to pass.

The other group consisted of people with yellow Innate Spiritual Roots. Compared to the former, their assessment was a lot more difficult. Those whose cultivation base had not reached the Exemplary Saint Stage or above would not be able to pass the assessment.

"Those with green Innate Spiritual Roots, please follow me." Black Turtle Sanctum's Silver Flame Elder Li An finally spoke. After he finished speaking, he brought the nine people, including Gu Chun, who possessed green Innate Spiritual Roots away with him.

He was in charge of the strength assessment for this group of people. Before he left, he did not forget to look at Duan Ling Tian with a cold gaze that was filled with killing intent.

However, Duan Ling Tian ignored his gaze. This made Li An's expression turn grave as he brought the group of people away.
