Chapter 21: Shattered
"Buzz!"
The Talent Testing Pillar trembled even more violently. The radiance covering it was more than ten times brighter than before!
If an ordinary person without martial cultivation were in the Splendor Hall, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this pillar could blind them!
Huh?
Su Zhan looked at the pillar in front of him with a puzzled expression.
Under the golden light, a small crack appeared on the surface of the gray-white pillar! This crack rapidly extended outward, splitting into two, then four in the next moment.
The Talent Testing Pillar, known as one of the treasures of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect and personally crafted by the founder of the sect, was completely shattered inch by inch!
Su Zhan reacted quickly, swiftly moving backward and looking in astonishment as the Talent Testing Pillar shattered and fell into the water pool.
"The Talent Testing Pillar destroyed?"
At this moment, the elders and others were still a bit slow to react.
"The Talent Testing Pillar could even display Divine Body talents. How could it be destroyed like this?"
"The power of Divine Bodies also varies. Besides, didn't you notice that before Su Zhan triggered his Divine Body, his talent had already reached the limit of the Talent Testing Pillar?"
"If that's the case, could it be that this young man's talent is too monstrous, surpassing the maximum limit that the Talent Testing Pillar could assess, causing the array within to malfunction and leading to its destruction?"
"Such talent perhaps only exists in legends!"
After several seconds, the elders finally snapped out of their shock. Their eyes widened, filled with incredulity as they looked at Su Zhan.
Elder Miao's eyes flickered as he revealed a kind smile and said, "Su Zhan, the path of cultivation is full of difficulties. If you have a mentor to guide you, resolving various cultivation problems, your Divine Body aptitude can surely be better utilized. If you don't mind"
"Elder Miao is right!" Elder Liu interjected, "If you are willing, I would like to take you as my one and only direct disciple!"
"Elder Liu! You damn bastard, how dare you snatch my disciple!" Elder Miao immediately became furious. The True qi of Martial Master Realm circulated within him, causing the entire hall to resonate with a thunderous sound.
"Miao Hai! I let you have that talented individual last time. You already have several disciples with decent aptitude. Isn't that enough for you?" Elder Liu was equally unwilling to back down and released his own aura.
He was taken aback, but soon realized that the beam of light was simply conveying various information and rules of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect to him. He calmed down.
After a few seconds, the light vanished, and he had acquired some explicit regulations of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect and various maps in his mind.
"This is your identity token. Within the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, the sect can use this token to transmit information to you. Therefore, you can keep it with you and don't need to store it in a storage space."
"Alright," Su Zhan nodded.
"In addition, your residence is at Peak Seventeen of the White Cloud Peak. After absorbing the information from the token, you should be aware of its location, right?"
The White Cloud Peak was the most spiritually abundant peak within the entire Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect. It was a super gathering formation of spiritual energy, and every three months, the spiritual formation would be activated, bathing the White Cloud Peak in abundant spiritual energy like rain.
That was the place where only true disciples could reside.
As these pieces of information emerged in his mind, Su Zhan smiled faintly and said, "I know. If the Sect Master has nothing else, I will take my leave."
"Go ahead! I look forward to the day when you grow into an unrivaled powerhouse!" Qin Jincheng said with a smile.
"It's such a great fortune for this disciple to be accepted into the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect," he sighed with emotion as Su Zhan departed.
The other elders echoed the same sentiment.
After a moment of sighing, everyone's gaze once again converged on the pool of water.
Elder Miao sighed, "The Talent Pillar, it has stood for a thousand years, and I never expected it to be destroyed like this."
Elder Liu also felt touched, "Although it was destroyed, it was worth it to witness the birth of an unrivaled genius."
Qin Jincheng furrowed his brow and said, "Su Zhan has a divine physique. It would have been enough to let him display his divine talent. Why did we have to bring him to the Splendor Hall?"
"Well, you can ask Senior Chen. Wasn't it him who insisted on calling us here to witness the genius he brought back?" Elder Miao responded.
All eyes turned to Chen Changfeng.
Chen Changfeng quickly said, "Don't blame me for this! Besides, didn't you all doubt it yourselves? Moreover, I also wanted to see Su Zhan's strongest talent!"
"And then you let him destroy our Talent Pillar that has been passed down for thousands of years?" Qin Jincheng said discontentedly.
"Well" Chen Changfeng twitched his mouth, looking frustrated.
Who the hell could have anticipated that Su Zhan's talent would be so abnormal?
