The Dragon's Magic Code

Chapter 21 A Strange Talent

Ye Eryi took out a palm-sized transparent crystal ball from his storage ring.

He held it in front of Lin Yan and said, "Put your hand on the crystal ball. If your talent is good enough, the crystal ball will react."

Lin Yan was startled for a moment. His heart pounded nonstop, and he trembled as he placed his hand on it.

All he felt was a cold sensation. He held his breath and stared at the crystal ball.

A few air currents formed in the initially empty crystal ball, slowly flowing before condensing in the air.

Gradually, the air in all directions began to converge, forming a dark cloud. Finally, a downpour emerged from the dark cloud.

Lin Yan was a little puzzled. He did not know what the scene within the crystal ball meant.

His eyes fell on Ye Eryi.

At that moment, Ye Eryi's expression was not the best. His eyebrows were subconsciously wrinkled together as if he had something on his mind. He looked at Huang Suqiu.

Next to him, Huang Suqiu was also stunned.

She murmured, "Impossible. Lin Yan's talent in swordsmanship is so shocking. Not to mention, he's an alchemist. Why is it that..."

Her voice was so soft that no one could hear her.

Lin Yan's heart instantly froze when he saw their terrible expressions.

Feeling uneasy, he probed, "Senior, may I ask if... this is enough for me to join the Five-Spirits Sect?"

However, in the face of Lin Yan's question, Ye Eryi shut his eyes slightly. He shook his head somewhat regretfully.

"No. Your talent is much too ordinary. You're only a bit better than ordinary martial artists. This kind of talent is far from enough to enter the Five Spirit-Sect."

"As I see it, let's call it a day."

Ye Eryi's words were like a hammer landing on Lin Yan's head.

His mind went blank, and a buzzing noise filled his head, making him unable to think.

Was his talent ordinary? Was he only a little stronger than an ordinary person? Was he not strong enough to enter the Five-Spirits Sect?

How could that be?

Lin Yan's face was instantly filled with disappointment. He deflated right away.

Not only was Lin Yan filled with doubt in his heart, but Huang Suqiu was unable to understand as well.

"You saw the phantom that surfaced behind Grandmaster Lin just now, Uncle Eryi. It's a sign that only a High-grade Spiritual Body could have."

"How could his talent be mediocre? Did you mess up the test?"

Her words woke Lin Yan up. He hurriedly looked at Ye Eryi. His eyes suddenly lit up as though he was looking forward to something.

However, what he received was extreme dismay.

Ye Eryi just shook his head and sighed with disappointment.

"I thought I could take in a talented disciple, but it turns out that I made a mistake."

"A phantom that looks like that isn't necessarily an indicator of a High-grade Spiritual Body. The martial arts techniques that a person cultivates might also cause such a strange phenomenon."

"I know how you feel, Suqiu. After all, the Azure Dragon Academy is not the same as it was back in the day. However, bringing back a person like him would be a burden to us."

"Let's go back to Burial Mountain. Your godfather has been waiting for you for a long time."

However, just as Ye Eryi was about to leave with Huang Suqiu, Luo Donghe suddenly spoke to him.

"Would you let me take the test, senior? In my humble opinion, my talent is not bad. Maybe I'll be your candidate."

Ye Eryi glanced at him. At first, he did not want to waste any time.

However, Luo Donghe was from the royal family, so he had some connections with the Five-Spirits Sect. It would only take a short while anyway, so Ye Eryi figured he would give Luo Donghe a try.

"Put your hand here."

Luo Donghe was overjoyed and hurriedly put his hand on the crystal ball.

The crystal ball immediately emitted a burst of astonishing black light. There was a roaring fire, which looked as if it was going to spurt out from inside.

Within the lava were flames soaring up to the sky, and a giant sword was standing upright with sword will spreading from it.

Behind the giant sword, there was a burst of light, followed by six bright stars.

"A Six-Star talent! It's a Six-Star talent!"

Ye Eryi was shocked as he shouted in surprise. He couldn't help but get excited.

"Amazing! I never expected to encounter someone with a Six-star talent here."

"Hahaha! It seems that the Azura Dragon Academy has struck gold."

"Luo Donghe, right? Come with me to the Azure Dragon Academy of the Five-Spirits Sect to train. With your talent, I can guarantee that you will achieve great things."

Seeing this, Huang Suqiu was also very surprised. She was very clear about what a Six-star talent meant.

She looked at the disappointed Lin Yan with a myriad of emotions. Her emotions were complicated as she sighed somewhat sorrowfully. All she could say was that fate truly loved to play tricks.

Who would refuse to join a legendary sect?

Not to mention, if Luo Donghe joined the Five-Spirits Sect, he would soar to brand new heights with his Six-star talent for sure.

Luo Donghe agreed with joy in his heart. Then, he gave Lin Yan an evil laugh.

Judging from Huang Suqiu's reaction just now, she seemed to have an unusual connection to Lin Yan. Thus, Luo Donghe would naturally take caution not to provoke her directly.

However, once he left with her and Ye Eryi, it would be a snap to get his subordinates to deal with Lin Yan.

Lin Yan's face was ashen. Although that was the reality of it, he was not willing to accept it.

That was the closest he had gotten to the disappearance of Lin Yue. If he missed that opportunity, he would probably never have another chance in the future.

"Senior, will I be able to join the Five-Spirits Sect as long as I have enough talent? Can you give me two hours? I will pass the test."

He made another request with determination written on his face.

"Talent is not something you can force, but... Forget it. For the sake of Suqiu, I'll give you another two hours. Two hours and you'll have to give up."

Ye Eryi gave his regretful answer. He had seen the same scene countless times.

However, every test result was the same as before, without any change.

Lin Yan, who had received his answer, waved his hand. Three bottles appeared in front of him. They were filled with Marrow-Purifying Pills.

He raised his head and gulped them all down at once. His eyes shut then his brows knitted together. He tried his best to let his mind and body go, ignoring his surroundings.

His body frantically began to employ the Dragon-Devouring Emperor Technique.

If Ye Eryi could see through Lin Yan's body, he would find the Yuan Qi within his body circulating strangely.

Lin Yan's blood was constantly emitting astonishing heat.

In an instant, Lin Yan's face turned completely red. His breathing had become hurried.

After half an hour, his body did not change at all, but the fluctuation of his Yuan Qi was a little stronger than it was at the beginning.

An hour later, Huang Suqiu sighed. Her heart ached, but the qualifications to enter the Five-Spirits Sect were right there.

Two hours later, Ye Eryi looked a little impatient.

He already knew what the result would be, so he found no reason to waste time.

"Alright, stop messing around. There's no way you could..."

While he was saying these words, a drastic change occurred within Lin Yan's body.

The Dragon-Devouring Emperor Technique had suddenly entered the Second Level, causing the aura of his entire body to change completely.

Engulf, annihilate, and destroy!

An earth-shattering momentum came from the inside of his body, which channeled in all directions.

Above their heads, countless dark clouds had already gathered, covering the sun. The whole world darkened.

All one could feel was the strong wind blowing in the void and their hearts pounding in fear.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!
