The woman in front of him was not just pretty; to put it simply, Li Boyang couldn't beat her. She was at the Qi Refining Realm, and according to her own boasting, she was ranked second among the top ten inner sect masters.
Whether it's true or not is unknown, but at this stage, Li Boyang definitely can't beat her, since they've already fought.
Just then, this woman suddenly appeared after Li Boyang finished his morning lessons and rudely interrupted his plan to go back to his room to read.
Then Li Boyang took action, and that was the end of it. Li Boyang verified a very accurate piece of information: the gap between the Acquired Realm and the Qi Refining Realm is huge.
The woman said coldly, "Alright, now do you remember my name?"
Li Boyang replied somewhat awkwardly, "Ye Qingwu."
This woman is named Ye Qingwu, and she comes from the Law Enforcement Hall. As for her purpose in coming to find Li Boyang, the Dongyang Sect has already made arrangements for him.
From the moment he met Ye Qingwu, Li Boyang became an outer disciple of Donghua Peak.
"Article Thirty-Seven of the Dongyang Sect's rules states that outer disciples must not provoke inner disciples without cause."
"Although you have violated the rules, the first rule of the sect states that ignorance is no excuse, so we will let you off this time."
Li Boyang's face twitched again, and he remained silent.
"Come with me now to have your bone age tested."
Seeing that Li Boyang remained silent, Ye Qingwu didn't mind. She figured he would naturally memorize the sect rules in the days to come.
"good."
Li Boyang knew what was going on, and had seen it at the Fuyun Sword Sect. He understood the significance of doing so, but felt it was a bit strange to apply it to himself.
I'm not some kind of child prodigy, and I've already reported my real age, so taking the test again feels a bit redundant.
When Ye Qingwu arrived at the bone age testing site, she found that all the other children who came for the test were eleven or twelve years old. Li Boyang felt like a green leaf among a sea of flowers.
"Put your hands up here."
After queuing for a few minutes, it was soon Li Boyang's turn. Urged by the host, he placed his hand on a golden crystal.
"Bone age 34 years old."
Masters of internal energy are extremely sensitive to their bodies. The moment Li Boyang placed his hand on the crystal, he suddenly felt his blood flow accelerate, his bones vibrate, and his pores open forcefully.
Just as I expected.
Before this, if Li Boyang still held onto hope for the lifespan that was slipping away in the dream world, this one truly confirmed it.
"Next, the talent test."
Ye Qingwu's expression remained blank as she addressed Li Boyang's failure to reach the Qi Refining Realm at the age of 34, coldly stating the next task to be undertaken.
The Dongyang School tests talent in a place called the Talent Pavilion, which is not far from the bone age testing area.
The furnishings of the Talent Pavilion were very simple. There was only a large open space inside, in the middle of which was a wooden shelf with a dark stone on it. Next to the stone was a disciple of the Dongyang Pavilion who was in charge of the test.
On the surface, it is just an ordinary stone, but the layout of the main hall reveals that this stone is the so-called Innate Stone.
When Ye Qingwu led Li Boyang to the Talent Pavilion, there were actually about a hundred people inside.
In the Dongyang School, testing talent is a sacred yet highly random matter.
Therefore, whenever a new disciple enters the school, many people will come to watch. At this time, only a dozen or so children who have just entered the school actually need to undergo talent testing, but there are as many as fifty or sixty people watching.
Under the guidance of the disciple in charge of the test, the newly initiated children lined up one by one to receive the test.
The test is very simple; you just need to place your hand on the talent stone. If the test subject has talent, the talent stone will light up; if not, the talent stone will not react.
"Dianbin, no talent, next one."
"Xiong Feng, no talent, next."
"He Rong, you have talent, next."
The moment the little girl named He Rong placed her hand on the talent stone, flames shone through the originally dark stone, as if it were about to burst into flames.
"Wow! My innate talent, Fire Control Stone, is here!"
The little girl who discovered her talent was very excited and shouted out all the talent she felt.
The people around immediately looked on with envy.
"Mo Yun has no talent, next."
"Li Xiaohua has no talent, next one."
"Meng Kai, you have talent, next."
"I have divine power, yay! I have talent too."
Like the little girl whose talent was discovered earlier, this little boy named Meng Kai was also very excited and also revealed the name of his talent.
"……Next."
As time passed, all the dozen or so children had finished their tests.
The probability of a child having a talent is obviously not high; out of these dozen or so children, only two have such a talent.
Children whose talents were discovered were overjoyed, while those who weren't were dejected.
Seeing that all the children had finished their tests, Ye Qingwu pushed Li Boyang out and said coldly:
