บท 6: Dwindling Hope of the Qing Family

Previously Qing Yi had thought that a genius like Qing Chenyi was already extremely rare and talented. Reaching the 6th stage of Qi Condensation at the age of 17, in the entire Bright Sun City. Only Bai Fei was able to pose a threat to his position as number one.

But even with that, he was still undoubtedly crowned as the number one genius in Bright Sun City.

However, when the first test began, Qing Yi discovered that there were quite a large number of 'geniuses' on the same level as Qing Chenyi! There was even quite a number of people far above him in terms of talent!

It was only at this moment that Qing Yi realized how ignorant she had been about the world before... Truly a frog at the bottom of the well…

Qing Yi started to understand why, some elders in her clan had always said that Qing Chenyi's talent was good inside the Bright Sun City, but after leaving Bright Sun City, it wasn't as amazing anymore. Back then, quite a few of the members of the younger generation in the Qing family thought that their elders were just afraid that Qing Chenyi would grow arrogant and deliberately said this in an attempt to stop him from growing arrogant.

But now, Qing Yi, Qing Chenyi and the other younger generation members brought along for the entrance examination of the Flying Sword Sect, realized that the words of their elders were not exaggerated at all!

"Wen Lu, bone age 16, Qi Condensation eighth stage!"

A commotion broke out from a nearby testing platform upon hearing what one of the elders doing the testing said.

It turned out that another strong youth with a cultivation at the eighth stage of the Qi Condensation had appeared, and his bone age was only sixteen!

Qing Chenyi's standing beside Qing Yi shook a bit upon hearing the announcement and clenched his fists as he glared over at the person one year younger than him with disbelief.

Today, he was the one who had suffered the greatest blow among all the children from the Bright Sun City, his confidence had reached an all-time low.

Genius?

Compared to some of the people present here, was he, still considered a genius?

Back in Bright Sun City, he was the undisputed number one genius. Praised by both the younger and older generation.

However, at this moment, his talent was only above average and even that would be a bit of a stretch.

From the undisputed number one to an ordinary person with an above average talent.

The huge gap made it a little difficult for him to accept the sudden change...

The other disciples of the Qing family were not faring any better.

If even the Qing family's number one genius was nothing more than an ordinary person here, what about them…?

Seeing the depressed state of the Qing family disciples, the first elder sighed a little, but decided not to say anything.

Only after walking out of Bright Sun City would they realize how insignificant they were. Even Qing Chenyi, was nothing much when taking the entire territory of the Flying Sword Sect into account…

A layer of haze slowly started to engulf the hearts of the Qing Family.

Previously, they had a blind belief in Qing Chenyi and that he would enter the Flying Sword Sect without any problems at all. Now, however, things became uncertain.

The appearance of even more geniuses that were way more monstrous than Qing Chenyi didn't help the situation at all as the possibility of Qing Chenyi entering the Flying Sword Sect became bleaker with every passing moment.

The Qing family crisis weighing on their mind didn't help either as all the members of the Qing family worriedly looked in the direction of Qing Chenyi.

Qing Chenyi, could he enter the final top 1000 and get into the Flying Sword Sect? If not… Then what would happen to the Qing family?

If no one from the Qing family managed to become a disciple of the Flying Sword Sect, then the moment that the Bai family invited anyone from the Black Rose Sect over to the Bright Sun City would be the end of the Qing family. Their day of destruction!

Bright Sun City had many different powers, and among them, the two great clans, Qing and Bai, were both well respected.

Among the two great clans, the Qing clan was the strongest, followed by the Bai clan.

The Qing and Bai clan were in opposition. They had accumulated grudges for a long time now, and both of them were constantly fighting each other for control over the Bright Sun City.

It had reached a point where they couldn't resolve it simply by negotiating any longer and a war between the two clans were inevitable.

The Qing family's overall strength was above that of the Bai Family, so in recent years, the Bai family decided to go with underhand tactics to try and gain an advantage.

Originally, the Qing family had thought that under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the two sides to gain an advantage over the other in a short period of time. However, they didn't expect that something unexpected would happen.

Not long ago, a piece of news arrived and it blew up in the Bright Sun City. Bai Fei, the number one genius of the Bai family, had entered the Black Rose Sect. Not only that, but he was also accepted as a personal disciple of a Nascent Soul Realm Expert of the Black Rose Sect!

An expert at the Nascent Soul Realm!

In that instant, the Qing family was put at an absolute disadvantage.

The Black Rose Sect was a large sect in the northern region of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom. Although it wasn't as powerful as the Flying Sword Sect, the overlord of the northern region, it still had a few Nascent Soul experts overseeing it.

Not to mention the other Nascent Soul experts, even Bai Fei's master alone, a Nascent Soul Realm expert was not something that the Qing family could contend against.

Qing Yang the current head of the Qing family was the strongest expert of Bright Sun City and he was only at the fifth stage of the Core Formation Realm.

To put it more bluntly, a Nascent Soul Realm expert could easily uproot the entire Qing Family.

Even worse, the Bai clan spread news that Bai Fei would return to Bright sun City to participate in the annual Bright Sun City Grand Competition for the younger generation. When he came back, his master would follow him to see his performance!

This was a true disaster for the Qing Clan. All they could do, was hope that they could gain the support of the Flying Sword Sect. Only then would they be safe from the Bai family who had the support of the Black Rose Sect.

However, as more time passed, more and more geniuses appeared and their hope of entering the Flying Sword Sect slowly grew dimmer and dimmer.
