Chapter 51: Testing Strength, Making a Stunning Debut

Chapter 51: Testing Strength, A Startling Debut

Unable to refuse the enthusiastic green-robed little girl who was pulling her along, Su Wanyi had no choice but to follow her.

"Little sister, what is your name?" Su Wanyi asked with a smile.

"My name is Chang Lvdie, sister, you can just call me Lvdie," the green-robed girl replied cheerfully.

Su Wanyi also introduced herself, "Well, my name is Su Wanyi."

"Sister Su, what a lovely name!" Chang Lvdie smiled and said.

Chatting and laughing all the way, the two of them walked to the outer perimeter of the force-testing stone, which was surrounded by a large crowd.

"What are they doing?" A look of bewilderment appeared on Su Wanyi's face.

Ahead stood a massive boulder, three zhang high and pitch-black from top to bottom.

At this moment, a young man raised the sword in his hand and slashed toward the force-testing stone.

Boom!

The impact between the force-testing stone and the precious sword produced a resounding crash.

A beam of light suddenly emerged from the top of the force-testing stone.

"That light is red."

A wave of cheers erupted from the crowd.

"Haha... Another person has passed the force-testing stone assessment," Chang Lvdie clapped her hands and laughed.

Noticing Su Wanyi's confusion, she explained softly, "Sister Su, although anyone under the age of twenty at the Origin Sea Realm is allowed to participate, not just anyone can enter. Therefore, this force-testing stone can directly eliminate those with insufficient strength."

Looking at the force-testing stone, Su Wanyi asked with a smile, "Does a red light mean passing?"

"That's right, a red light means you can participate in the Sanyuan Martial Tournament. However, you can only compete for the matches ranked tenth to fourth," Chang Lvdie explained.

"Besides the red light, are there any other colors?" Su Wanyi pressed on.

"If a single strike can make the force-testing stone emit a golden light, one qualifies to contend for the supreme three ranks of Heaven, Earth, and Man."

At this point, Chang Lvdie looked at the red ranking list beside the force-testing stone and said with slight surprise, "Oh my, there are already nine people this year who can contend for the Heaven, Earth, and Man ranks, far surpassing the previous session."

Su Wanyi nodded. Through the young girl's explanation, she finally gained a superficial understanding of the Sanyuan Martial Tournament. Since the Ancestor had instructed her to participate, he naturally would not want her to contend for any positions outside the top three ranks. Her target was directed straight at the Heaven, Earth, and Man ranks.

Thinking of how her junior brother and junior sister, under the Ancestor's supervision, had achieved such proud results—being invincible among their peers—Su Wanyi clenched her fists. She felt that no matter what, she had to achieve the best possible result in this Sanyuan Martial Tournament. Even though she was only at the first level of the Origin Sea Realm now, she had to make her utmost effort to claim the top prize.

"Sister Su, below the red light is the white light. With a white light, you can participate in the matches ranked twentieth to eleventh. I came this time aiming for a spot in this bracket," Chang Lvdie said with a beaming smile.

"Very well, let's go test our strength too," Su Wanyi gave a gentle smile. Walking side by side, the two squeezed through the crowd.

At this moment, the young man who had previously slashed out a red light seemed still somewhat unwilling to give up and struck with a second sword.

A loud crash echoed. It was still a red light.

He shook his head, accepted a token, and headed toward the direction of the central plaza arena.

Chang Lvdie took Su Wanyi to the registration spot to sign up and then joined the queue. Many people were ahead of them, but quite a few failed to meet the standard, some even managing to produce only a white light.

Soon, it was their turn.

Chang Lvdie went first. With a swing of her sword, it landed heavily on the force-testing stone.

Boom!

The force-testing stone emitted a loud roar, and a white light rose from its summit.

"Haha, that's simply fantastic!" Chang Lvdie was so excited she danced around. Turning back, she loudly encouraged Su Wanyi, "Sister Su, you must do your best too! Let's both strive to secure a spot in the top twenty."

Su Wanyi smiled. This little green butterfly was at the second level of the Origin Sea Realm, which was why she was encouraging her, someone at the first level.

Su Wanyi stepped forward and drew the blood-red Seven-Star Longyuan Sword from her back.

"Wow! Sister Su, your sword is actually of Heaven-tier quality!" Chang Lvdie exclaimed in astonishment upon seeing the weapon. Anyone capable of using a Heaven-tier precious sword possessed an extraordinary background. For instance, the sword used by the head of a second-tier major family in Silver Moon City, like her own family, was only of Earth-tier quality. Only her family patriarch—her father—wielded a Heaven-tier sword.

Regarding this Sister Su, Chang Lvdie felt she was becoming increasingly mysterious.

A large crowd had gathered around, most of whom were cultivators. Watching the young and beautiful maiden Su Wanyi draw a blood-red precious sword, they could not help but freeze slightly. Although this sword lacked any bloodthirsty killing intent, it gave people an intensely stunning sensation. Especially the seven stars embedded along the blade, which added a touch of mystery.

Su Wanyi raised the sword in her hand and lowered her gaze to the blade. The sword had been sealed by the Ancestor, so the phantom of the divine dragon had vanished, leaving only seven slightly dimmed stars.

Su Wanyi felt calm and unruffled; only by holding this kind of Heaven-tier weapon could she feel at ease. If it were truly a God-tier weapon, she honestly would not dare to stand in this place.

The force-testing stone allowed two attempts.

Su Wanyi took a light breath, raised the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword in her hand, and slashed down heavily toward the force-testing stone.

Boom!

This thunderous roar shook the earth-shattering heavens, causing even the ground to tremble three times over.

Everyone was immensely shocked, their eyes wide as they stared at the peerless beauty.

Was that strike just now... truly delivered by her?

Hum!

From the summit of the force-testing stone, a beam of golden light surged upward. This golden light was incomparably dazzling, seeming in that instant to illuminate the entire surrounding void.

A cultivator responsible for supervising the force-testing stone widened his eyes in disbelief at this sight. Although no purple light had appeared, this golden light was so brilliant and of such massive scale that it had reached the absolute zenith of gold.

To think that a maiden at the first level of the Origin Sea Realm possessed such terrifying strength! Could it be that she harbored some kind of powerful bloodline within her body?

Standing behind her with wide-open eyes, Chang Lvdie let out an exclamation of wonder, "Sister Su, you are far too powerful! You actually slashed out a golden light!"

Seeing such a massive commotion, Su Wanyi felt a slight flutter in her heart. She hurriedly sheathed the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword. Like Luoli and Jun Moxiao, Su Wanyi possessed a cautious and low-profile temperament. Just now, she had only used half of her strength, never expecting it to cause such an astonishing disturbance in the force-testing stone.

Su Wanyi had not foreseen this. She secretly guessed that it must be that single drop of Ancestral Dragon blood essence which had replaced the extremely thin divine dragon bloodline in her body. The Ancestral Dragon blood essence had fundamentally transformed her physique, granting her immensely formidable strength. In legends, dragons were divine beasts endowed with overwhelming might. Humans possessing dragon bloodlines, once their bloodline was awakened, would see their physical bodies become tremendously powerful, with strength far surpassing that of their peers.

"Which sect's disciple are you? Your strength is astonishingly formidable!" The recording cultivator walked over, speaking with an expression of shock.

"I come from the Divine Dragon Sect," Su Wanyi replied calmly.

At this moment, under the bright sunlight and gentle breeze, she slightly lifted her fair, smooth, and pointed chin. Beneath her tranquil tone lay a subtle hint of quiet pride.
