248: Inner disciples detected

As the two continued to fly, continent after continent drifted beneath their feet.

Some of these continents were barren, while others were very low-level, lacking even a Quasi-Emperor Expert, and the System's notification sound was slow to appear.

This made Jiang Chen start to doubt his life.

After all, he had already recruited several Direct Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples from the Canglan Continent. No matter how poor these continents above the starry sky were, they should at least give him a few, right?

Thus, through Jiang Chen's unremitting efforts, when the two passed by a continent with decent Spiritual Qi, the System's notification sound finally rang in his ears.

【 Beep, discovered an individual with Ninth-Grade Talent on the continent below, evaluated as an Inner Sect Disciple. Host, go quickly and recruit him into the Sect. 】

Upon hearing the System's notification, Jiang Chen's face was filled with smiles.

"Hehe, finally one has arrived. It seems coming out on my own initiative was effective after all."

"Sect Master, are we not flying anymore?" Seeing Jiang Chen stop and smile on this continent, Liu Shu asked somewhat curiously.

Jiang Chen had said they were going to explore the starry sky, but he hadn't stopped anywhere, making her think Jiang Chen had just come out to fly around for fun.

"Hm, no more flying. Let's go play on this continent."

Jiang Chen nodded and began to descend toward the continent beneath his feet. Seeing this, Liu Shu did not hesitate and quickly followed Jiang Chen, descending to the continent below.

At this moment, on the continent beneath them, inside a massive city named Tianyuan City, a grand Disciple recruitment assembly was being held.

Countless young, handsome men and beautiful women were crowding into a massive square, waiting for the Talent Testing Stone to test their talent.

In the very center of the square, a snow-white Talent Testing Stone was placed. Young men and women lined up one by one to test their talent.

"Li Da, Second-Grade Talent, not qualified!!"

"Niu Li, Third-Grade Talent, not qualified!!"

"Zhu Sibao, Fourth-Grade Talent, just qualified!!"

"You may choose the School you wish to join and become its Outer Sect Disciple!"

Beside the Talent Testing Stone, a Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man looked at a youth weighing over two hundred jin and said, "Zhu Sibao, the Xuanguang Sect, the Guiyi Sect, or the Tianji Sect; which one do you choose?"

Right in front of the Talent Testing Stone sat three spirited Saint Emperor Peak elders. They glanced at Zhu Sibao and then withdrew their gaze.

This Disciple recruitment assembly in Tianyuan City was jointly held by their three Sects for the purpose of recruiting talented young people from the vicinity of Tianyuan City.

Someone like Zhu Sibao with Fourth-Grade Talent only met their requirements for an Outer Sect Disciple, so they had absolutely no interest in him.

No matter which Sect Zhu Sibao chose, they had no objections. Of course, if a Disciple with Sixth-Grade Talent or higher appeared, they could not be so casual.

For Disciples of this talent level, the three families would use every means at their disposal to bring such a Disciple home.

Because a Disciple with such talent was the backbone of a Sect, they had to strive to win over even one if they appeared.

"I… I choose the Guiyi Sect."

Faced with the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man's inquiry, Zhu Sibao shook his two-hundred-plus-jin body and excitedly stated his choice.

"Good, Zhu Sibao chooses the Guiyi Sect!" The Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man shouted, then pointed to the area for Guiyi Sect Disciples, letting Zhu Sibao go over on his own.

After Zhu Sibao left, the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man continued testing the boys and girls behind him.

"Brother Luo Feng!" "Do you think our talent is enough to join the Three Great Sects?"

In the crowd, a sweet-looking young girl asked a handsome youth dressed in black robes.

Hearing the sweet girl's voice, the handsome youth said with a gentle smile, "Yun Mei, rest assured, we will definitely be able to join the Three Great Sects. By then, we will be the strong backing for our Family."

"Mm-hmm." Watching Luo Feng's smile, the sweet girl nodded obediently.

"Next!!" Following the Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man's shout, it was soon Luo Feng's turn.

Luo Feng adjusted his clothes, walked somewhat nervously to the side of the Talent Testing Stone, and placed his hand on it.

"Hum hum!" As soon as Luo Feng's hand touched the Talent Testing Stone, the Talent Testing Stone emitted a humming sound.

Then, colorful rays of light kept flowing across the Talent Testing Stone, and the entire Talent Testing Stone erupted with nine thick beams of light, shooting straight into the sky.

"Boom boom!!" The Talent Testing Stone made a vibrating sound, and the nine different colored beams of light were so piercing that the people in the square could not even open their eyes.

"Hiss, it's actually nine beams of light. This is the symbol of Ninth-Grade Talent! This guy actually has the potential to become a Great Emperor."

"Indeed, the highest talent ever seen near our Tianyuan City was Seventh-Grade. To have a Ninth-Grade Talent appear today is just too damn terrifying."

"Sigh, from now on, this guy will soar into the sky and become a dragon among men."

Facing this blinding light, everyone in the square tightly closed their eyes. However, even though their eyes were closed, their expressions were all extremely shocked.

The Talent Testing Stone had nine colors, and the number of colors that lit up in sequence indicated the grade of talent. Now that Luo Feng had lit up nine beams of light, that was definitively Ninth-Grade Talent, an existence capable of becoming a Great Emperor.

After the light subsided, the elders of the three Sects all stared at Luo Feng with expressions of wild joy, and then instantly appeared in front of Luo Feng.

They scrambled to state their conditions, vowing to recruit Luo Feng into their own Sect.

"Young friend, join my Xuanguang Sect. You will be the successor of the Xuanguang Sect, and the entire Xuanguang Sect will revere you alone in the future."

"Young friend, don't listen to him. Join my Tianji Sect. Everything in my Tianji Sect will revolve around you, and all resources will be yours to use at will."

"Get lost, get lost, get lost! Young friend, these two Old Things are both lying to you. Join my Guiyi Sect, and I will immediately report to the Old Ancestor to make you the Sect Master, and I will have the current Sect Master be your underling."

The three of them spoke one after another, offering conditions that were more outrageous than the last, and none of them would yield to the others.

After all, this was a Ninth-Grade Talent that was hard to see in ten thousand years. As long as no accidents occurred, there was a high probability of becoming a Great Emperor.

If they could recruit Luo Feng into their Sect, their entire Sect would rise to an unprecedented height. Therefore, even if they had to pay a huge price, they had to snatch Luo Feng.

"This…" Watching the Saint Emperor elders from the three Sects about to fight over him, Luo Feng's face was extremely bewildered.

He had originally only hoped to have a Fourth-Grade Talent and become an Outer Sect Disciple of the Three Great Sects. But now that it was Ninth-Grade Talent, he himself did not know what to do.

"Brother Luo Feng!" The sweet girl in the crowd saw this scene and murmured with a complicated expression.

Luo Feng now possessed Ninth-Grade Talent, which meant the two of them would be people from two different worlds. In the future, it would be extremely difficult for her to see Luo Feng even once.

"Stop arguing!" One of the three elders shouted, then said to the other two, "The two of you, the strength of our three Sects is about the same. No matter what good conditions one side offers, our other two sides can keep up."

"Since that is the case, let us let this young friend choose for himself. What do you think?" This elder asked, sweeping his gaze over the other two.

"Good, let's do that." "Agreed, let this young friend choose for himself." The other two Saint Emperor elders recruiting Disciples for their Sects nodded in agreement.

The situation was now in a deadlock, and this was the best solution. As for if Luo Feng did not choose their Sect, they could only think of other countermeasures afterward. In any case, even if they had to destroy Luo Feng, they would not let another Family obtain him.
