Chapter 9: Misfire

Moments later, Rong Jiexuan said in a deep voice: "Triumph... good, I will perform the simplest spell, and you will repeat it after me." He raised one hand and gently pointed towards the void.

Rong Yiyao wore an expression of embarrassment; he let out a bitter smile and said, "Elder, if it were any other matter, I would take charge. However, if I do not report this to you, you will surely make things difficult for me in the future"

Rong Kaixuan was taken aback and, without a moment's hesitation, flung the orb of light in his hand.

Slowly, let this trace of power surge outward and reach the fingertips

The basketball of light struck the protective shield, causing it to burst instantly and scatter into a myriad of starlight. However, the protective shield on Rong Yiyao's body also became precarious, rippling with waves that resembled concentric circles.

Rong Jiexuan smiled as he looked at Rong Kaixuan and said, "You should give it a try too"

However, even with just this, the commotion he caused was significantly greater than before

Boom

The elder waved his hand and said, "No matter what the matter is, go find the clan leader for me. Hmph, I am only here at the mourning hall to make an appearance; I have no interest in your trivial affairs."

The two individuals exchanged a glance and nodded slightly at each other. For a young one to be able to manipulate energy with such finesse is already quite remarkable

Rong Kaixuan secretly chuckled to himself; this old man is truly endearingly straightforward

Rong Yiyao's expression fluctuated between dark and bright, and with lingering fear, he looked at Rong Kaixuan. His lips trembled a few times, yet he could not utter a single word

Rong Kaixuan understood that this was not the time for secrecy; this opportunity was so rare that failing to present his best self would undoubtedly lead to deep regret

And all of this is merely the result of a trivial thread of spiritual energy released by Rong Jiexuan from m.hetushu.com

At the moment this surge of power manifested, the vast spiritual energy of the surrounding space rushed towards this place as if it had taken a potent stimulant, pouring in recklessly.

Rong Kaixuan shook his head in confusion and said, "This kid has never cultivated any spiritual power."

Rong Yiyao discerned the elder's confusion and quickly said: "What I mean is that the qualifications of Kai Xuan are unprecedented in my experience and knowledge, so I am unsure to which level they should be classified"

However, their astonishment was just beginning

This spiritual power is not strong; one might even say it is rather weak, akin to a candle in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment

When this force began to be unleashed, Rong Kaixuan immediately noticed a difference; this force seemed to be much stronger than before

Rong Yi Yao, who had brought Rong Kai Xuan here, quickly said: "Elder of the clan, there is a matter in the spirit hall that requires your judgment"

Hmph, what is it?" Although the old man was displeased that someone had disturbed his peace, he still opened his eyes and impatiently inquired.

Rong Kaixuan gasped in shock as he discovered that this small orb of light, though seemingly unremarkable, moved at a speed that absolutely surpassed his own punching speed, and its power was no less formidable than that of a fist infused with true energy

"Uncle, what a clever technique," Rong Yiyao praised, giving a thumbs up. However, in his heart, he felt somewhat unconvinced.

Rong Kaixuan gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I have embarrassed myself, young man."

In just an instant, a sound of "pop" emanated from the fingertips of Rong Kaixuan

"Kai Xuan, please demonstrate the process of absorbing spiritual energy into your body once more for the clan elders to observe," Rong Yi Yao instructed in a deep voice.

Yes

However, this is already the minimum amount of energy that Rong Kaixuan can control

Rong Jiexuan raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Oh, how is his aptitude? To what level has he reached?"

He focused his mind and spirit, concentrating all his attention on the sphere in the center of his forehead

Rong Yiyao chuckled and stepped forward, saying at the right moment: "Elder, if Kai Xuan only possesses ordinary spiritual practitioner qualifications, I would not dare to bring him here to you."

A lightning-like mass of light struck a pillar with great force, and then, accompanied by a loud explosion, the pillar was shattered into countless fragments

As if sensing his call, the countless small spheres within the center of his brow began to move, releasing a mysterious and powerful force.

Such a method is naturally executed by Rong Jiexuan with ease and without the slightest hint of anger, and he can perform it with great familiarity. However, asking a young individual who has just begun to engage with spiritual energy to employ such techniques seems rather unreasonable.

The strange power that has already condensed into a sphere seems to possess an immense attraction to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; even a slight release can absorb a substantial amount of external power

Gradually, a trace of mysterious power separated from within the sphere. In terms of sheer quantity, this power was slightly greater than the trace of spiritual energy released by Rong Jiexuan.

Countless white points of light gathered around him, and then transformed into a beam of light that surged into his body

"Oh?" Rong Jiexuan asked in surprise, "Little one, how long have you been cultivating your spiritual power?"

Suddenly, a faint trace of spiritual energy was released from his fingertips

Walking slowly along this path to the end of https://m.hetushu.com, I came across an elegant bamboo house

After a moment of silence, these ripples gradually settled down

A sound of footsteps approached cautiously from afar, coming along the entrance of the road and stopping beside him

The eyelid suddenly twitched, and Rong Jiexuan shouted sternly: "Throw it away, quickly throw it away..."

In a tranquil little grove, there lies a winding path

Rong Jiexuan's eyes flashed with a sharp brilliance, resembling the fiery eyes of a mythical creature as they fixed intently on Rong Kaixuan, seemingly trying to discern some flaw from his gaze

Although the light orb is not large, its power should not be underestimated

However, just by observing how respectfully Rong Yiyao treats him, one can tell that this elder is certainly not an ordinary person

Subsequently, they sensed it

Rong Kaixuan was in a state of panic, and he hurriedly explained, "Uncle Yao, I didn't mean to, I truly didn't mean to..."

The three individuals stared in astonishment at the luminous sphere, and at this moment, both the well-informed Rong Jiexuan and the instigator Rong Jiexuan found themselves somewhat dazed.

Rong Yiyao was momentarily taken aback and said with a wry smile, "My young nephew is unable to make a judgment; please test it yourself, esteemed elder."

Rong Jiexuan, with a carefree demeanor, accepted his bow and said, "Get up. Since you possess the qualifications of a spiritual practitioner, you must cherish it well and never let it go to waste."

This elder is a true big shot in the Rong family, and naturally, he is extremely concerned about the rise and fall of the family

Haha. Rong Jiexuan chuckled lightly and casually tossed the orb of light away

The old man glanced briefly at Rong Yi Yao and Rong Kai Xuan, then said in a gentle voice: "Why have you brought this little one here? Oh, could it be that he possesses the qualifications of a spiritual practitioner?"

The basketball-sized orb of light instantly transformed into a beam resembling the light of a book, shooting towards Rong Yi Yao like a flash of lightning

This time represents a significant challenge for him as well

The light entered the body, and the flow of spiritual energy within the Yintang became even more immense

What? Rong Jiexuan looked at him with suspicion, thinking to himself, this little fellow usually handles matters quite reliably, so why is he being so hesitant and indecisive today

An elderly man in his fifties is seated comfortably on a bamboo chair, leisurely waving a fan made of cattail leaves, sipping from a teapot, embodying a sense of tranquility and contentment.

The Rong family has expanded its branches and leaves, possessing a vast influence within a radius of one hundred miles. However, despite searching throughout this area, the number of spiritual practitioners that the Rong family has been able to recruit has never exceeded thirty.

However, if Rong Kaixuan mishandles the situation and causes the light sphere to burst, resulting in injury, he will have no way to regret it

However, this trace of spiritual energy stubbornly survives at the tip of his fingers, and when this wisp of spiritual energy appears, it creates a powerful attraction for the surrounding natural spiritual energy. Gradually, the natural spiritual energy gathers, causing the spiritual energy at the tip of Rong Jiexuan's fingers to become increasingly stronger

Rong Jiexuan's eyebrows suddenly raised. If he was somewhat annoyed by the interruption of his meditation earlier, then at this moment, his lingering feelings of gloom had completely vanished.

Snap ... ...

As Rong Kaixuan raised a finger, the eyes of Rong Jiexuan and the others immediately widened, staring intently without blinking.

Although Rong Kaixuan had already absorbed spiritual energy into his body for the second time, he still did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. After absorbing a small amount, he immediately withdrew the power of the sphere

With his cultivation and strength, he would naturally not fear this sphere of light

However, Rong Kaixuan felt no guilt and faced his gaze and the books with composure

Rong Jiexuan chuckled and said, "It's alright, just give it your best shot. Even if it ends in failure, it doesn't matter."

When he spoke the final words, he seemed to finally show a hint of interest

Taking a deep breath, Rong Kaixuan focused his consciousness on his third eye

Rong Yiyao's expression changed dramatically; he let out a soft exclamation, and a sphere of light and shadow illuminated his body, as if he were enveloped by a massive shield.

When this force converged, the natural spiritual energy that had gathered around him immediately dissipated

Rong Kaixuan's face revealed a hint of difficulty. While he could indeed release all the power within the sphere, allowing him to release such a minute amount of energy was a significant challenge to his limits

"Yes, I pay my respects to the elder of the Jie Xuan clan." Rong Kaixuan hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully knelt down on the ground

The spiritual energy at the fingertips of Rong Jiexuan underwent a quantitative change that triggered a qualitative transformation, becoming a luminous sphere the size of a fist

Subsequently, a luminous sphere comparable in size to a basketball appeared at his fingertips

Rong Yiyao smiled and said, "Elder of the clan, this is Rong Kai Xuan, a direct descendant of the Rong family." He turned his head and said, "Kai Xuan, quickly pay your respects to Elder Jie Xuan."

After a brief hesitation, Rong Kaixuan did not unleash the full power of the sphere, but only activated about half of its strength

Suddenly, the look of ease on his face faded, and his brows furrowed slightly

Finally, when the level of spiritual power reached a certain limit, a sudden light sound of "whoosh" was emitted.

The old man was momentarily taken aback, slowly sitting up straight in his chair. His gaze was not piercing, and he bore no air of inviolable authority; he appeared entirely as an ordinary elderly man.

A faint and solitary power has emerged at the tip of this finger
