Chapter : 30 : Dou Qi Affinity Test : ( Part : 2 ) :
The Dou Qi affinity test was simple in design .
The candidates had to go to the platform where an elder would be standing beside a large crystal .
This crystal was different from the crystal used in the first Dou Qi test .
This crystal was larger and had a white colour to it .
Once there you will have to put one of your hands on the crystal surface and then pass some of your Dou Qi through it .
And after this you will just have to wait while the crystal processes your Dou Qi .
Once the processing is done the result will come out showing your cultivation level and your Dou Qi affinities .
Then the elder standing beside The crystal will announce the results for everyone to hear .
And it was Xiao Yun's turn to take the Dou Qi affinity test .
After she put her hand on the crystal and let her Dou Qi pass through it the crystal shined for some time before showing the results .
The elder who was responsible for declaring the results was about to speak when he saw the results .
And it left him a deep shock .
For sometime he didn't know what to say because he started to doubt his own eyes .
' Is this for real ? ' - the elder thought to himself after all he had never seen such a results before .
And while the elder was in shock the crowed bellow was getting restless by each passing seconds .
Seeing the elder's reaction everyone in the proud below also looked puzzled .
" What's going on ? Why isn't the elder saying anything ? "
" What did he see ? "
" Oh ! Come on say something already I can't take this suspense anymore . "
" Did he see something bad in there ? "
" What do you mean ? "
" Well he seemed to be in some kind of shock . So perhaps the young lady doesn't have much good Dou Qi affinities? So that's why he is so shocked . "
" You wish ! Her talent is the best within our generation there is no way she can have poor Dou Qi affinity . "
" Yes ! it you people are just jealous . "
Such discussions were going on continuously within the crowd of young and excited cultivators .
To most of them Xiao Yun was the ideal strongest cultivator of the generation .
She was the princess of the class whom everyone's looked up to in awe , respect and admiration .
So it was no surprise that the crowd of cultivators were most excited in seeing her Dou Qi affinities .
In fact some of her followers were even more excited for her test than their own .
And now suddenly right after she touched the testing crystal the elder beside fell silent in shock.
Obviously this will cause a sensation within them .
And at this time some of them thought that perhaps Xiao Yun's talent was not as great as the elder estimated or her Dou Qi affinities were nothing phrase worthy .
So that's why he fell silent .
However this theories were instantly refuted by those who supported Xiao Yun.
But no matter how much they discussed at this moment only three people knew the truth .
The elder and Xiao Yun who could the results from the crystal.
And the third person was Xiao Ming who knew about this from his life simulation .
Hearing the conversation going on in the crowd the elder standing beside the crystal finally snapped out of his confusion and understood that he needed to declare the results fast .
" Xiao Yun : mid core formation stage and has four Dou Qi affinities - Ice , Lava , Lightning , and Wood . " - the elder said in allowed voice declaring the results .
The moment he said the results the entire crowd fell silent .
No matter if they supported Xiao Yun or not at this moment hearing the results everyone had their eyes wide open in shock .
Even Xiao Zhan and Xiao Wuya were also in shock .
For Xiao Wuya he was very much shocked and his eyes open wide in astonishment something rare for someone like him .
But he quickly recovered his composure and started laughing again praising Xiao Yun's talents .
But it was Xiao Zhan who was hit the hardest by this revelation .
After all he was determined to surpass Xiao Yun eventually and always saw himself as her near equal .
But now hearing this results he had no words left .
Her current strength of Mid core formation stage was not the most shocking part after all with her talent it was understandable that she had reached that level so quickly .
And it was only a matter of time before he too reaches that level .
But four types of Dou Qi affinities ! What kind of a joke is this ?
Four types ? Most people who have two types of Dou Qi affinities would be considered a genius let alone anyone with four types .
" Is this even fair anymore . " - Xiao Zhan complained .
At this moment a surge of anger and frustration went through Xiao Zhan's body and mind as he felt be unfairness of the situation .
Here he was training everyday as hard as he can .
Breaking and pushing past his limits and trying to control his berserk state .
And one every time he think she had caught up to Xiao Yun she gets stronger again .
And now with four types of Dou Qi affinities under her it was only a matter of time before she jumps ahead even more then before .
It is as if the fate has decided that he won't be able to match her ever .
" Hahaha ! Hahaha ! You think I will give up so easily ? then think again . " - soon his anger and frustration was replaced by raw determination .
If fate wanted him to be always below her then he will fight that fate to the end .
But he will not admit defeat not without a fight .
Even if it means training even harder he will gladly do so .
Xiao Ming who was observing everything from his peaceful position was quite surprised by Xiao Zhan's determination .
One can say that while Xiao Zhan was someone with bad attitude , arrogance and a lot of problems .
But no one can question his determination and hard work .
Even after losing so many times and so many setbacks against Xiao Yun his determination has never failed .
And on the contrary his determination and resolve has only strengthened .
" Well I guess my turn is also coming soon . "
Location Change : VIP seats :
At this moment there was a discussion going on in the VIP section as well.
Most of the elders and important people in the VIP section were praising Xiao Yun's talent .
Right now all of them were quite happy and excited as well .
All of them knew from the beginning that Xiao Yun's talent was extraordinary since childhood so they expected her to have at least two types of Dou Qi affinities .
Some of them even expected her to have the ice affinity due to her cold , distant but caring nature .
While not a perfect indicator once personality is often directly or indirectly related to their Dou Qi affinity.
Well this just a hypothesis with no proofs but many still believe in it .
At first when they saw the shocked expression on the elder's face who are standing beside the testing crystal they became anxious .
But when they heard the actual result there reaction was also similar to the young cultivators .
And to be honest anyone who didn't know the future like Xiao Ming did through his life simulation would be shocked .
After all having four types of Dou Qi affinities was almost unheard of .
And in the recorded history of the Xiao clan there has been only two people who had ever achieved this level .
And even those powerful ansestors records where at least 500 years ago .
The most recent recorded person with four types of Dou Qi affinities was the founder of the Yu Shan Kingdom who had earth , fire , thunder and lightning affinities .
And he was a legendary figure the strongest cultivator in the royal families history .
That means now Xiao Yun can we said to have similar talents to him .
And not only that both Xiao Zhan and Xiao Wuya had also gotten 2 types of Dou Qi affinities each .
It means that their talents are also on the genius level .
So obviously they were all happy to have such geniuses in their clan .
However not all of them had smiles on their faces right now .
For example the fourth elder and the second elder had different views .
The fourth elder had a complicated expression on his face .
Well he wanted his grandson to take the spotlight in this exam and was in fact quite happy with his talents .
After all he had got to types of Dou Qi affinities both known for the strengths .
But still in front of Xiao Yun's four types of Dou Qi affinities it failed in comparison .
Which also meant that in a way it was a good thing for Xiao Fang something he did not like at all .
But this frustration was covered with a different kind of pride and joy .
Xiao Yun was after all a member of his precious Xiao clan .
So while he was a little frustrated seeing his grandson come second again in front of Xiao Yun .
He felt very good just thinking about the future possibilities and how strong the clan will grow with someone of such talent with them .
The second elder however had a far greater thought in his mind .
He was quite happy seeing the young talented students below especially for Xiao Yun .
But right now his mind was troubled by other concerns .
" We need to deal with this matter seriously . " - Xiao Peng said slowly for only Xiao Fu to hear .
Xiao Fu as the fourth elder wasn't a fool or ignorant .
So the moment he heard the second elder's words he knew what the other side what the was talking about .
This talent shown today bye Xiao Yun was both good thing and a bad thing .
We have already discussed why this was a good thing before .
However the bad side of this news was that from now on Xiao Yun will be a target for anyone who does not wish for Xiao Clan's growth .
Well to be honest she was already at target of attention for their enemies even before today .
But after today they will not simply
see a genius member of the Xiao clan or the daughter of Xiao Fang .
Now she will be seen someone beyond that .
She will be seen as someone who can reach the level as the first founder of the Yu Shan Kingdom .
Hence now she would be considered a danger to many .
Not only for those within the kingdom but for those from other kingdoms who didn't want see someone with this talent coming out of Yu Shan Kingdom .
" Unfortunately we can't stop this news from spreading, especially with how much attention we are having right now . " - Xiao Fu said his face grim .
" Yes ! you are right fourth elder . " - the second elder obviously understood this part.
Now with increased attention on the Xiao clan due to the matter with the Zhao clan it would be impossible to hide such matters.
Especially since Xiao Yun is at the centre of both of the storms hiding her talents would be even more difficult .
" Alright for now try to keep the news from getting out too fast . " - Xiao Peng said his eyes looking down at the young cultivators below .
" I will talk with the clan head immediately and discuss what to do next . " - Xiao Peng said as both of them stopped talking .
Both of them knew that their work was far from finished .
The Gu clan , the Zhao clan and various other problems were coming up one after another .
But no matter what ! as elders they will not allow the younger generation to face such challenges without help .
It is after all their duty to guide and protect their younger generation before they are ready to face the world by themselves .
Just when they were thinking about their future plans and how to deal with the challenges coming ahead the announcement of the next participant to be tested who was declared in the training ground .
" Next participant Xiao Ming please step forward . "
