The Flame Envoy said to the Innate Peak Grandmaster Elder, "No special treatment is needed, just do it as it should be done!"
"Yes, Lord Envoy!" The Innate Peak Grandmaster Elder nodded, apparently believing the Flame Envoy was just being polite to him.
However, the Flame Envoy was not simply being courteous. He was very aware of Ye Feng’s strength, and how formidable it was. It was certain that Ye Feng would shine in Luoying; he required no one’s special attention.
The Flame Envoy turned to Zhou Mengyu and said, "This is a servant I brought back from outside, so there’s no need for him to undergo the trial. I will take him directly inside, just register him first!"
After hearing the Flame Envoy’s words, the Innate Peak Grandmaster Elder gave Zhou Mengyu a meaningful look and smiled faintly, nodding, "I understand, Lord Envoy."
Following the registration by the Innate Peak Grandmaster Elder, the Flame Envoy left with Zhou Mengyu.
At this point, only the Innate Peak Grandmaster Elder and the newcomers to Luoying remained at the entrance.
This time, there were a total of fifty newcomers to Luoying.
Without exception, all fifty had at least reached the advanced phase of Inner Strength, and the strongest had even reached the Grandmaster realm of Middle Innate. None of them were older than thirty-five.
Those in the advanced phase of Inner Strength were around twenty-one or twenty-two years of age, each one a martial arts genius.
The Innate Peak Grandmaster Elder then took out a crystal and said, "This is a Cultivation Test Crystal. By infusing your True Essence or Inner Strength into it, we can determine the level of your cultivation!"
Hearing this, everyone looked puzzled, "Senior, as an Innate Peak Grandmaster, it should be easy for you to discern our cultivation levels. Isn’t this superfluous?"
The Innate Peak Grandmaster Elder shook his head, "That’s not necessarily the case. The methods you’ve practiced vary, some powerful, some weak, and some capable of concealing one’s cultivation level. Even I may not be able to discern your true cultivation!"
Then, the Innate Peak Grandmaster Elder looked towards Ye Feng, "Take young friend Ye Feng here, for instance, I cannot perceive his cultivation level. But in front of the Test Crystal, everyone is the same, no matter the cultivation level, there is nowhere to hide!"
"So that’s how it is!" The crowd nodded, seemingly coming to a realization.
But Ye Feng grew curious; the claim that no cultivation level could hide from the Test Crystal excited his competitive spirit. He wanted to test whether this was indeed true.
"Alright, I will call out the names now, and those called can come and test!" the Innate Peak Grandmaster Elder said.
Everyone quieted down, waiting for the test. The Innate Peak Grandmaster Elder called out, "First, Miyagi Ryoyu!"
"Present!" At that moment, from among the crowd, a handsome young man with flawless white skin stepped forward. His eyes held a proud look, standing out from the crowd, he walked slowly towards them.
Miyagi Ryoyu then placed his hand on the Test Crystal and infused his True Essence into it.
Instantly, the crystal revealed Miyagi Ryoyu’s cultivation level: "Middle Innate!"
"Middle Innate!" Everyone was taken aback, their eyes showing surprise.
"To think he’s at Middle Innate, so powerful. No wonder we couldn’t discern his cultivation level. He’s much stronger than us. I remember Miyagi Ryoyu is only twenty-eight years old. To have the cultivation level of Middle Innate at twenty-eight is truly unimaginable!"
Hearing the conversations, Miyagi Ryoyu lifted his head proudly, a slight smile on his lips, looking utterly pleased with himself.
At that moment, the crowd began to discuss, "We also can’t discern Ye Feng’s cultivation level. Could he be like Miyagi Ryoyu, a Middle Innate Young Master as well?"
"I think it’s possible; after all, he’s personally brought by the Flame Envoy. How could he be simple?"
Hearing the discussions, Miyagi Ryoyu glanced at Ye Feng, his gaze challenging.
Just then, the Innate Peak Grandmaster Elder called out, "Next, Asuka Hana!"
"Here!" At that moment, a voice as melodious as the song of heavenly beings echoed in everyone’s ears.
A graceful figure emerged from the crowd.
It was a woman in a kimono, walking with a poised and noble bearing, like a phoenix among the people.
Her delicate features were perfectly proportioned, without a single flaw, complemented by her regal air, enchanting all who saw her, sparking excitement.
The woman named Asuka Hana approached the Test Crystal and placed her hand on it, channeling her True Essence into the crystal. In a moment, the crystal emitted light.
"Middle Innate!" People were shocked again, their eyes wide with surprise.
Even the Innate Peak Grandmaster Elder was surprised, not expecting another young genius at Middle Innate to appear.
Asuka Hana was even more talented than Miyagi Ryoyu, being only twenty-six years old.
Her skin, because of her cultivation and daily care, was incredibly delicate, making her appear as if she were a mere eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl.
Having seen Asuka Hana’s stunning beauty, people had shown a touch of wicked interest in their eyes, harboring evil thoughts. But now that they knew her cultivation level, they all behaved themselves.
A cultivation level of Middle Innate meant she was almost certainly the most powerful presence among them. If anyone dared to covet Asuka Hana, it would be a suicidal act; even the most formidable Inner Strength Martial Artists were but ants before a Grandmaster, who could easily kill any Martial Artist with Inner Strength cultivation.
One by one, the people began to test their cultivation, but the subsequent tests did not reveal any more masters. Among the remaining people, the strongest was merely a Grandmaster at the early stage of Innate.
