20 Chapter 20

Ling Tianni the former leader of the Heavenly Sword Villa was shocked by the sudden message from his son, but upon learning what it was about, he immediately came out of his secluded cultivation to take a look at this little genius that his son commented on.

Arriving at the grandstand that all the elders were sitting on, he realized that it was not a waste of time to come here, especially when his gaze landed on the boy who was in the testing ground.

"He's not a genius, but a monster in genius form." Ling Tianni thought.

The elders around only realized after a few minutes that there was another person in the stands and when they turned their gazes, they shivered.

The Old Leader of the Heavenly Sword Villa was drawn to this place because of that boy's talent. This shows how important an individual's talent is.

Quickly all the elders started greeting Ling Tianni who just ignored these elders while focusing his gaze on Itachi.

"This talent, definitely doesn't belong to this little Empire..." Ling Tianni thought.

His gaze turned to his son and with a deep voice he said, "Good! Good."

Hearing these words from his father a rare smile appeared on Ling Yuefeng's face. He knew that his father was definitely excited about the future of Heavenly Sword Villa.

"This boy can definitely take Heavenly Sword Villa to new heights."

These were the shared thoughts of everyone in the stands.

...

A few hours had passed since Itachi was on the same step, and realizing that it was about time, he went back up step by step.

Above him there were no longer any participants, most had been stuck between floor number thirty-five. This was due to the fact that there was a bottleneck on this floor that blocked people from continuing up without a strong enough body.

Itachi as he had an extremely powerful body easily managed to break through this floor. Even floor number forty was somewhat easy for someone like him.

"I wonder how strong is the pressure of the highest step?" He thought.

In one breath he was already at step number fifty. This made all the test participants look at him with eyes full of envy. Everyone began to feel inferior to a four-year-old boy who didn't even have cultivation.

"I can't believe that a four-year-old boy can surpass me." Said one of the youngsters who had an arrogant look on his face earlier.

"He's definitely cheating!" Another boy said.

"Where is that elder? Why doesn't he kick this cheater out!" Said one of the few girls participating in this test.

But no matter how much they complained, no elders showed up to kick Itachi out. In fact, the elders watching the test began to think about expelling these participants just so that Itachi would participate by himself.

"Hmph! I feel like only one participant will pass this year." One of the elders commented earning a nod from the rest.

Ling Tianni also nodded, he felt that all the other participants were just trash when compared to Itachi.

...

Itachi continued to climb step by step.

Soon he reached step number one hundred, he began to feel that this was his current limit. So without much thought, he sat down and began to cultivate again.

The Profound Energy he was absorbing was at least fifty times denser than on the previous steps. He felt that if he could cultivate here for two years, he would definitely be able to create the world inside his body.

Gathering Profound Energy, he began to refine his body again. This Profound Energy was comparable to the one he absorbed at night, at least in terms of density they were almost equal.

"I wonder, where did this treasure come from?" He thought.

...

Ten hours had already passed since the test began. The elder in charge of this test knew that he would have to appear to tell the results. But looking at the sect leader, he hesitated whether to stop the test.

Ling Yuefeng sensing the gaze of the elder in charge of the test, nodded and said, "It's okay, he doesn't look like he will be climbing any more steps for a while. Then it's good to announce the result."

Ling Tianni also agreed with his son. He felt that Itachi could continue climbing the steps to the top if given the necessary time, but that was unnecessary. The boy had already proven his talent.

The elder who received the confirmation from the sect leader, quickly disappeared from the bleachers as he appeared in the sky of the testing ground.

"Very well, the test is over."

With a wave of his hand, a strong wind swept all the test participants back to the green ground. The only one who was launched flying gently was Itachi who was at the top.

"So, the test is over...too bad." Itachi thought.

All the participants noticed the difference in treatment, but did not dare to question the elder's actions. They knew the consequences of questioning such a person.

"Those who have passed the step number twenty will be accepted as outer disciples. If you have drawn the attention of any elder, he will personally meet you and take you as a disciple." The Elder said calmly.

Every year there were at least five inner disciples joining, but it seems that this year only one would join.

"Anyway, this one disciple joining the inner sect is at least a million times better than any inner disciple." The elder thought.

The participants who did not pass the test all had sad expressions, some were even crying. In contrast those who passed were all excited and with big smiles on their faces.

Itachi seemed to be the only one keeping his cool in this situation, and this was seen by the elders watching the test field.

"Incredible! That's the disposition a cultivator should have." Ling Yuefeng commented.

The elders agreed with his comment.

"Very well, I will welcome you, if any of you have someone you are interested in just go." Ling Yuefeng said calmly as he disappeared.

Ling Tianni also disappeared from the stands, he knew that his son would take the boy to the sect leader's peak, so there was no point in him making an appearance.

Soon, Ling Yuefeng appeared on the testing ground, and everyone present was surprised by the Heavenly Sword Villa leader's appearance.

"What is he doing here?" One of the participants commented softly.

"Did any of us interest the strongest sect leader?" Another participant commented.

Even if they said these things, they knew that there was only one participant capable of making the sect leader personally appear.

"Damn! I can't believe that a four year old boy has surpassed me!" The arrogant looking young man thought as he stared at Itachi with a venomous stare.
