Chapter 21

Ling Yuefeng ignored the gaze of all the participants, his eyes were focused entirely on Itachi.

"Child, you are really special. I wonder if you would come with me." Ling Yuefeng said with a smile on his face matching his gentle voice.

Looking at Ling Yuefeng, Itachi realized that the man in front of him seemed to have strength comparable to that of his mother.

"Then he must be the leader of this sect." He thought.

Nodding his head Itachi approached the man.

"Good, good, my name is Ling Yuefeng, I am the leader of the Heavenly Sword Villa, I wonder what your name is?" Seeing that the boy approached him made Ling Yuefeng's smile widen today was definitely the best day of his life.

Not even in his best dreams did he imagine that such talent would one day join his sect. Even his son was no match for this genius.

"Uchiha Itachi..." Itachi said in his quiet way.

"Uchiha Itachi?! Haha, only a unique person like you can have such a name." Ling Yuefeng said with a smile on his face, he was almost unable to hold back his happiness.

All the participants listening to the two's conversation had bitter smiles on their faces, some were even looking at Itachi with more envy.

Ling Yuefeng didn't want to continue in this testing ground so he decided to leave with Itachi but just as he was about to do so, one of the participants stepped forward and shouted.

"WAIT! This boy cheated, there's no way he can climb up to step number one hundred without possessing any kind of cultivation! He definitely possesses some hidden treasure in his body, he might even be an enemy." The boy who had the arrogant look on his face said in a desperate manner.

He couldn't believe that someone only four years old could have a greater talent than him, or rather, a four year old boy had surpassed him when he didn't even have cultivation.

Not only Ling Yuefeng but also the elder in charge of the test frowned.

"Are you saying that my judgment is wrong?" Ling Yuefeng asked with a deep voice.

The elder also stepped forward pressing the young man. The fact that the young man questioned the test was already a slap in the face enough, but now to question the person the sect leader himself chose to nurture. This kind of crime is punishable by death.

The young man who shouted had a horrified look on his face as he felt the elder's pressure, but gritting his teeth he continued to say, "It's impossible for someone without cultivation to make it to floor number one hundred, when even we with cultivation cannot. Even if he has a discomfiting talent, it's still impossible."

Every time the young man said a word, the elder frowned even more. Ling Yuefeng also began to become increasingly displeased.

"Well? What do you want?" Ling Yuefeng asked.

Even though he knew Itachi was a real talent, he still wanted to see what this arrogant young man would propose.

"I want to challenge this boy! If he really is this peerless genius, then he can easily beat me in a fight." The arrogant young man said with a confident smile on his face.

The young man thought that with this challenge he could easily sweep the floor with Itachi. He was seventeen years old and already at the ninth level of the Profound Elementary Realm, he knew that he could never lose to someone as young as Itachi and who did not possess any cultivation.

"Are you an idiot? Why would we allow you to fight against someone four years old? Have you no shame?"

This time it was the elder who questioned, the anger present on his face was not possible to hide. He felt that he could kill this young man at any moment.

Ling Yuefeng hearing what the young man proposed frowned. He would never allow a genius like Itachi to get hurt.

"Take care of this young man, I don't want to see him anymore." Ling Yuefeng said calmly to the elder as he turned with Itachi.

The elder nodded and decided to deal with arrogant young man right here. How could he challenge to a battle someone personally chosen by the sect leader? Not only that, he even questioned the sect leader's choice. This young man is really arrogant.

The arrogant young man had a desperate look on his face. He was used since childhood to being praised as a genius, for this reason he decided to try the test to enter the most powerful sect in the Empire. But upon realizing that his talent was nothing compared to that of a four-year-old boy, he completely lost his mind.

"No! I can't accept this! Let's fight! DON'T BE A COWARD! AS A FUTURE CULTIVATOR HOW CAN YOU HIDE BEHIND SOMEONE MORE POWERFUL?!" The arrogant young man shouted in despair.

His shouts were heard by all the test participants. Everyone was thinking the same thing.

"This young man is retarded!"

Ling Yuefeng began to lose his patience, how could anyone question him? He thought that the young man was lucky that Itachi was by his side, otherwise he would personally kill him.

Itachi hearing the young man's screams, turned his gaze and seeing the young man's desperate look he shook his head as he said, "Do you really want to fight?"

His words made the arrogant young man look at him with a surprised look. He didn't expect Itachi to answer him back, in fact, he thought Itachi would just hide behind Ling Yuefeng.

"Itachi, you don't need to do this, you are only four years old, while this young man is seventeen. Besides, you just started in the cultivation world, in the future this young man won't even be able to clean his shoes." Ling Yuefeng said with a gentle smile on his face. He didn't want to see such a genius get hurt while he hasn't yet fully blossomed.

His gaze at the arrogant young man was already decreeing him dead.

"It's all right. I've made some advances in my cultivation, so it might be a good idea to have a fight." Itachi said calmly.

Hearing Itachi's response Ling Yuefeng's smile grew.

"Good, good!" those were the two words that came out of his mouth.

Ling Yuefeng felt that this was the disposition that a cultivator should have. He felt that Itachi was someone who could easily reach the top of this world. Ling Yuefeng was even wondering if his father could perfectly nurture someone like Itachi.

"Not backing down even if your opponent is stronger! This boy will definitely reach the peak of cultivation." The elder thought as he looked at Itachi.

Maybe they didn't know it, but Itachi has 100% confidence in defeating the young man, he just wanted to fight because he realized that the sect leader intended to nurture him. So if he stood out he could ask him to allow him to cultivate on these stairs.
