Chapter 1646: Qualification Test

Be patient. Just let me tap on your shoulder.
Zhang Ruochen chuckled.
Xiang Chunan looked confused and said,
Why tap on my shoulder?

Mu Lingxi knew what Zhang Ruochen intended to do. She smirked and said,
Seems like we’re at a huge advantage, but we need to be strong enough to defeat Saint Void Body.

Xiang Chunan didn’t know what Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi were thinking about, which made him anxious.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t try to explain anything to him. Instead, he looked up at the old Confucius man standing in the air; he said he was the weapon spirit of the Saint Spirit Book.
What was the Saint Spirit Book?
How did its weapon spirit form a ‘Taoist Body’? What level was the Saint Spirit Book?
The ‘Taoist Bodies’ formed by the saint weapon spirits were as powerful as the saint body formed by human beings. They could even comprehend the saintly way rules and practice saint spells.
‘Taoist Bodies’ weren’t of flesh and blood. Instead, they were a combination of saint Qi, weapon Qi and some other mysterious power.
Zhang Ruochen heard the Abyss Ancient Sword talking to him.
That’s the weapon spirit of a supreme saint weapon, and the weapon spirit formed a Taoist Body tens of thousands of years ago. That Taoist Body is extremely powerful, being a supreme saint. The forces coming out of it suppress the weapon spirits of other saint weapons.


Really?

Zhang Ruochen didn’t feel any pressure from the old Confucius man.


Only weapon spirits can feel that pressure,
the Abyss Ancient Sword said, intimidated.
Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t doubt the Abyss Ancient Sword’s judgment, but it was still thrilling that a weapon spirit had the cultivation of a supreme saint.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen recalled something and said,
The supreme saint weapons from Kunlun’s Field has been in existence for a long time. Are their weapon spirits stronger than the Saint Spirit Book’s?

The Abyss Ancient Sword said,
I’m curious about that as well. Blue Sky Hovering Tower that’s been suppressed in Universe World, Thousand-bone Empress’s Void Sword and Moon Worship Demonic Sect’s Life-Death Furnace don’t seem to have their weapon spirits inside their bodies. There’s only a slight trace weapon spirit consciousness left inside those saint weapons. I’m not sure whether the weapon spirits were annihilated or are dormant. If their weapon spirits are still inside, only a few creatures under Gods can defend themselves against that. Even supreme saints will be killed.

What the Abyss Ancient Sword said shocked Zhang Ruochen.
When he was fighting Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion with the precious officials from Sacred Central Empire, Lingxiao Heavenly King was unstoppable when he was using his Blue Sky Hovering Tower. If it weren’t for the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron, the army from Sacred Central Empire might’ve been annihilated already.
However, the Abyss Ancient Sword was telling Zhang Ruochen that the weapon spirit of Blue Sky Hovering Tower wasn’t in the tower. If it was, how powerful could Blue Sky Hovering Tower be?

The qualification test has now begun.
the old Confucius man shouted, which brought Zhang Ruochen back to reality.
A thick silver book showed up in the old Confucius man’s hand.
The book looked ancient, as if it documented the histories of all time. Tumbling saint Qi gushed out of the book.
Whoosh!
The old Confucius man flipped the book.
And then, ten battle generals wearing silver armor flew out of the book, landing at the centers of the ten battle platforms.
They were ten Saint Void Bodies, releasing tumbling fighting forces.
Boom!
The monks on God-Gazing Mountain swarmed toward the ten battle platforms.
A fourth-step saint king from Evil Wolf Race held the iron rod in his hand and swept away everyone in his way.
This is my platform. Nobody can compete against me.

Fourth-step saint kings were extremely powerful beings, definitely top-tier among the monks on God-Gazing Mountain.
After knocking away more than ten monks, the great being from Evil Wolf Race was encircled before he could get onto the battle platform.
More than a hundred saint weapons flew toward him, shedding blood and making him fall off the platform.
The battles around each platform were brutal. Fortunately, the old Confucius Man was powerful enough to prevent deaths from happening.
Xiang Chunan was very anxious, as he also wanted to go have a fight. However, he suppressed that urge recalling what Zhang Ruochen told him. Just as he wanted to turn around and ask Zhang Ruochen…
Bang!
He was slapped on his shoulder.
After spinning, Xiang Chunan found himself standing on the platform already when he could see everything clearly again.
The monks fighting each other around the platform were all dazed.
Some of the monks couldn’t help swearing.
Damn it! Did anyone see when the Dark Fool got onto the platform?


No! He just came out of nowhere!

A saint king from Ape Race was about to land on the platform, and he was furious now. His eyes gleamed with hostility as he wanted to tear that Dark Fool apart.
Xiang Chunan gradually realized what happened. He guffawed and said,
Sorry. I own this platform now!

The monks around that platform had to rush to other platforms now that it was occupied already.
The old Confucius man looked at Zhang Ruochen who was standing on God-Gazing Mountain, smiled, nodded, and said,
Impressive.

Zhang Ruochen looked to Mu Lingxi and said,
Let me send you there as well. Be careful, it isn’t easy to defeat Saint Void Body.


Why do you have so little confidence in me? I’m Moon Goddess’s disciple and the inheritor of the Ice and Fire Phoenix.
Mu Lingxi rolled her eyes, as she felt that Zhang Ruochen had underestimated her.

Then I shall see the power of the Goddess.

Zhang Ruochen chuckled and tapped on Mu Lingxi’s shoulder.
Whoosh!
The space power teleported Mu Lingxi to an empty battle platform, which caused another wave of complaints.
However, only a few used curse words this time, as it was an exquisite woman.
‘Spatial Capture’ was to some extent similar to ‘Spatial Move’; they worked in a different way.
Spatial Move was used for Zhang Ruochen himself, the monks, and the objects around him.
As for Spatial Capture, Zhang Ruochen would always stand still and move the objects or monks from one location to another.
It was very similar to space transportation.
Space transportation required transportation formation as the distance was very far. As for Spatial Capture, it didn’t need any formation so it could only move stuff to a limited distance. It wouldn’t work if it was too far.
Spatial Capture was a move made by Zhang Ruochen based on space power and martial way capturing saint spells. It was more direct and fiercer than Spatial Twist.
However, Zhang Ruochen was still studying and trying to perfect the technique, so it had a lot of loopholes.
If the monks who were captured fought back, they could get out of Zhang Ruochen’s Spatial Capture, so this move wouldn’t help him much in a real battle at the moment.
He needed to refine more space rules in his body to make it better.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t go challenge the Saint Void Body directly. Instead, he was watching Mu Lingxi’s and Xiang Chunan’s fights.
Xiang Chunan was much stronger than Zhang Ruochen thought as he managed to crush the Saint Void Body, turning it into mist.
Xiang Chunan received an invitation from the old Confucius man, jumped off the battle platform, and rushed toward Zhang Ruochen gleefully.
Thanks to you, brother, otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten the invitation.


Too easy.
Zhang Ruochen chuckled.
Xiang Chunan held the invitation tightly in his hand and looked curious.
Why didn’t you go for the qualification test? How about you teaching me that secret technique, after which I can send you up there by tapping on your shoulder.

Xiang Chunan didn’t seem to know about space power. Instead, he thought there was something magical about Zhang Ruochen’s palms.

No. I don’t think you can learn that secret technique.

Zhang Ruochen witnessed how Xiang Chunan managed to crush the Saint Void Body with one strike. God knew how strong he was.
He immediately stopped Xiang Chunan from doing so.
He then pointed at a battle platform in the air and said,
I’m here to watch Lingxi fight. I’ll go after she wins.

Xiang Chunan looked at Mu Lingxi who was fighting the Saint Void Body, and after hesitating for a while, he said,
Brother, I have something that I want to say to you for a long time.


What?

Zhang Ruochen was staring at the battle platform instead of turning around.
Xiang Chunan said,
How could you be attracted to my younger sister-in-law given how she looks? You really love her, don’t you?


Um? I really love her… Wait. What did you just say?

Zhang Ruochen immediately shot Xiang Chunan a glare and said,
What do you mean?

Xiang Chunan felt a bit awkward. He chuckled and said,
This is just between us brothers. Please don’t tell younger sister-in-law. I don’t want to hurt her feelings.

Zhang Ruochen felt very awkward, and he was also irritated. If Mu Lingxi heard what he said, he wouldn’t be able to stay sworn brothers with Xiang Chunan in the future.
Zhang Ruochen said seriously,
I’ll pretend I never heard you say that. And don’t say anything like that in the future.


I understand. I’ll never bring it up in the future. She’s your girl after all. No matter how bad-looking she is, she’s my family.
Xiang Chunan smiled.
Zhang Ruochen then said,
Besides, although we’re sworn brothers, the ranking result hasn’t come out yet. Perhaps I’ll be the big brother in the future. Don’t you think it’s a bit too early to call Lingxi ‘younger sister-in-law’?

Xiang Chunan was dazed and said,
Damn it! I almost forgot about that. Feng Yan’s already entered the God-Naming Platform and must’ve been collecting valuables. How could I let him be the big brother?

Xiang Chunan immediately rushed toward the godly gate and said,
Brother, I won’t wait for you and younger sister-in-law anymore. I must become the big brother!

Actually, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t interested in being the big brother at all, so he’d just let those two fight for that title.
Zhang Ruochen kept watching Mu Lingxi and the Saint Void Body fight, which was coming to an end. Mu Lingxi was at an absolute advantage, and she should be able to defeat it within ten moves.
Needless to say, Mu Lingxi had improved a lot after refining for a long time.
