Being doubted

Listening to those mocking words, Xiao Yun hadn't said anything yet. Lin Xiaoya, who was beside him, immediately became unhappy and stepped forward, exclaiming, "All of you, shut your mouths! My senior brother voluntarily gave up his status as the God's Chosen One. He didn't cheat."

"Little girl, do you know how good the treatment of the God's Chosen One is? No sane person would give up that status. Are you saying your senior brother is a fool?" someone jeered.

Lin Xiaoya glared at him and said, "Of course, my senior brother is not a fool."

"If that's the case, why did he give up his position as the God's Chosen One? In my opinion, he definitely cheated to ring the Chaos Bell, and that's why he was expelled by the Holy Lord," the person sneered.

Xiao Yun stared coldly at the person. While others were merely reveling in his misfortune, this person continuously mocked him. It was evident that he was deliberately targeting him.

"Young Master, this person was once a follower of our Master. However, due to his misconduct, he was expelled by our Master. That's why he harbors deep hatred towards our Master. He even joined forces with one of our Master's enemies," suddenly, the voice of Fu Bo resonated in Xiao Yun's mind.

Xiao Yun suddenly realized the situation. It turns out that the person was an enemy of his master. No wonder he was targeting him so specifically.

At that moment, Fu Bo, who was standing beside him, stepped forward. He looked coldly at the person in front and shouted, "Zhu Ping, the Holy Lord has issued a decree. Young Master Dao Ming voluntarily gave up his position as the God's Chosen One. By slandering the Young Master like this, are you questioning the decree of the Holy Lord?"

Zhu Ping snorted and said, "What a big accusation. I can't afford to wear that hat. But I can't be bothered with a cheater like him. Unlike our Young Master, he is truly a peerless genius. He rang the Chaos Bell five times and reached the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment stage. He is now on the path to become a Holy Son."

As he spoke, Zhu Ping stepped aside, and a young man in luxurious attire walked forward. He appeared young but had deep and profound eyes that flickered like lightning, exuding an extraordinary aura.

"It's Chu Jingxiao, the only super genius who rang the Chaos Bell five times apart from Xiao Yun yesterday."

"I heard that he has become a disciple of Elder Tianyi, the second-ranked elder within the sect, and he is about to step into the Heavenly Realm."

"I didn't expect Chu Jingxiao to have already reached the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment stage. It seems that in a few months, he will reach the extreme stage of the Foundation Establishment and will definitely become a Holy Son in the future."

...

The surrounding people were amazed and exclaimed one after another.

Xiao Yun glanced lightly at Chu Jingxiao. He didn't recognize this person, and there was no genius who rang the Chaos Bell five times before him yesterday. Obviously, this person took the test after him.

Chu Jingxiao also looked at Xiao Yun, and a hint of envy and resentment flashed in his eyes. He had rung the Chaos Bell five times yesterday, and he should have been ranked first among everyone, gaining fame and attention from all. However, because of Xiao Yun's nine rings before him, all the focus was on Xiao Yun, and even he, a super genius with five rings, was completely ignored.

Therefore, Chu Jingxiao held some resentment towards Xiao Yun, but more importantly, he felt jealous.

After staring at Xiao Yun for a while, Chu Jingxiao suddenly had an idea. He smiled slightly at Zhu Ping next to him and said, "Manager Zhu, you overpraised. Our Master said that Xiao Senior Brother has extraordinary talent. If he hadn't cultivated the 'Chaos Scripture,' he would have surely reached the extreme stage in a day. I still have a long way to go."

Though he said so, Chu Jingxiao, after finishing his words, walked towards the stone monument in front.

Everyone knew that he was going to test his combat power, so they all focused their gaze.

Chu Jingxiao walked confidently and swiftly to the front of the stone monument, then fiercely struck it with a punch.

"Boom..." With a loud explosion, a brilliant silver light burst forth, like the Milky Way pouring down from the sky, shining dazzlingly.

Everyone was shocked at the sight. They knew that with such a brilliant silver light, Chu Jingxiao's combat power must be astonishing, far surpassing the 'Fifty Thousand' stage.

As expected!

As the silver light dissipated, the number "90,000" appeared on the stone tablet.

Immediately, there was a wave of exclamations around.

"It's 90,000 battle power!"

"He has reached the peak of the Body Refining Realm!"

"To achieve perfection in the Body Refining Realm in just one day, what extraordinary talent!"

...

The onlookers were amazed and wore expressions of disbelief.

Chu Jingxiao stood under the stone tablet, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. After all, he was still a young man, and despite his composure, he couldn't help but feel a sense of showmanship.

However, Chu Jingxiao clearly had deep scheming. He listened to the praises of the crowd, waved his hand, and modestly shook his head, saying, "You all overpraise me. I merely struck the Chaos Bell five times, far from the nine strikes of Senior Xiao that made the bell resonate. Let's focus on Senior Xiao's performance."

After speaking, Chu Jingxiao left the vicinity of the stone tablet and returned to Zhu Ping's side, looking at Xiao Yun on the opposite side with a smile on his face.

With Chu Jingxiao's words preceding, everyone present also shifted their gaze towards Xiao Yun.

Fubo transmitted a voice message to Xiao Yun, saying, "Young Master, this young man is quite cunning, manipulating the opinions of the crowd. He has a deep scheme. You should be cautious of him in the future."

Fubo had lived for hundreds of years and had experienced more than Chu Jingxiao had eaten rice. He saw through Chu Jingxiao's intentions at a glance.

He was pressuring Xiao Yun to test his battle power.

If Xiao Yun dared not test his battle power, it would leave an impression of timidity and weakness in the hearts of the people.

However, Fubo wasn't worried because he had great confidence in Xiao Yun. After all, Xiao Yun had reached the Ninth Level in one day, reaching the Heavenly Assist Extremity. Who could compare?

Chu Jingxiao and Zhu Ping thought that Xiao Yun had cultivated the "Chaos Scripture" and wouldn't be able to comprehend it in just one day, so naturally, he couldn't have much battle power.

But unfortunately, they greatly underestimated Xiao Yun's talent.

"Senior brother, go and let these ignorant people see!" Lin Xiaoya urged from the side, feeling frustrated. Her senior brother was clearly powerful, yet these people dared to question his talent. They were truly ignorant.

Xiao Yun smiled faintly and was about to step forward to test his battle power when he suddenly heard a mechanical voice in his mind, like that of the system: "Latest mission: Make the surrounding people exclaim and create a sensation. Reward: Insight three times. Note: This mission can be stacked without limit!"

"Finally, a mission!"

Upon hearing the system's voice, Xiao Yun immediately felt excited. He didn't have many insights left, so the timing of the system issuing a mission was perfect.

Moreover, this mission could be stacked without limit. Didn't that mean he could brush many insights at once?

Xiao Yun couldn't help but look at the latest mission from the system once again: Make the surrounding people exclaim? Create a sensation?

Wasn't this forcing him to show off?

In short, it was acting cool!

Testing his battle power right now was a great opportunity, wasn't it?

Xiao Yun smiled in his heart and couldn't help but thank the system for its "thoughtfulness." This was picking up insight opportunities!

Immediately, under the gaze of the crowd, Xiao Yun walked towards the stone tablet in front of him.

"Heh, the 'Chaos Scripture' is universally recognized as the most difficult cultivation technique. In just one day, he hasn't even comprehended the first level. I'm afraid he won't even have 10,000 jin of strength," Zhu Ping sneered from a distance.

Chu Jingxiao smiled slightly and said, "Zhu Butler, your words are wrong. While others may not be able to comprehend the 'Chaos Scripture' in a day, Senior Xiao is an unparalleled genius who made the Chaos Bell resonate nine times. I believe he can certainly do it."

Fubo coldly glanced at the two of them. One belittled, the other praised, their cooperation was quite tacit. Unfortunately, they greatly underestimated the young master's talent. This time, they would be amazed.

"Boom!"

At this moment, Xiao Yun had already struck the stone tablet with a powerful punch.

"Ouch, my hand hurts!" Xiao Yun suddenly pretended to rub his fist and exclaimed.

"Hahaha!" The crowd burst into laughter immediately. Chu Jingxiao and Zhu Ping also wore mocking smiles, but their smiles soon froze.

Because a dazzling golden light erupted from the stone tablet, as if a sun had risen, its brilliance fierce and dazzling, illuminating the entire sky.

"It's a golden light!"

"Only when one reaches the extreme of the Body Refining Realm will there be a golden light."

"How is this possible? He actually reached the extreme of the Body Refining Realm in just one day!"

"Oh my God, what kind of peerless talent is this? Is he the reincarnation of an ancient saint?"

...

On the square, exclamations and commotion filled the air.
