Chapter 152: Battle of Wits (Father vs Daughter)



[Chapter 151 Comments]

[Xinhuan: Merry Christmas!]

"Hmm?!" One of the disciples in charge of the testing couldn't help but notice the jumping Mia. She didn't shout or say anything as if she couldn't speak, but it was clear that she wanted to do it.

The elders were still excited about the previous talented disciple.

The person who had the so-called Ice Phoenix Spiritual Root couldn't help but look at Mia, not thinking there was another person smaller than her.

Their gazes intertwined with each other as if they were seeing a new rival.

Mia observed this person carefully. As expected from a talent related to ice, her expression was cold and her gaze had no emotion. She had long light blue hair tied into pigtails. It seemed that her status was quite special since her dress was fancier than most people in this place.

On the other hand, the other party didn't think Mia was very special. She thought Mia was just a kid who reached the 1-Star Qi Gathering Stage and wanted to enjoy the recruitment test when she was supposed to wait for another few years to get strong enough to be accepted.

"This person… come to the stage if you want to test your aptitude." A disciple from the Snow Blossom Sect approached Mia from the stage, trying to help her come up.

Mia could jump onto the platform without any problem, which caused the elders to pay attention to her. They had a rather low expectation after finding the previous genius, so they tried to measure her ability, only to find nothing.

"Hmm? She doesn't have any cultivation."

"What?"

"Is she—"

The elders looked annoyed, thinking this platform wasn't a place for kids to play. But their mouths were shut the moment Mia took out a silver token from her pocket.

"Huh? She has a silver token?!"

"Are you serious? But we can't sense her cultivation."

"Does she have an artifact that can hide her cultivation?"

"A silver token is supposed to be given only to extremely talented individuals. Shouldn't Qing Yuan oversee the first process?"

"Qing Yuan is a fair person. If she gave this token, it meant that kid had the skill to do it."

While the elders were discussing Mia, the disciple took the token from Mia and used her Spiritual Qi to read the trace left behind in the first process.

At that time, she dropped the token and fell on her butt. "Huh… What? 7 years old with 9-Star Qi Gathering Strength?"

Those words rang in the elders and all the participants' ears.

"What did you say?!" The elders couldn't help but stand up, not believing what they had just heard.

One of the elders couldn't help but come to the stage to inspect the token personally.

"She didn't lie? This kid is only 7 years old and her cultivation is 9-Star. Qing Yuan's Spiritual Qi is the one recording it." She gasped, looking at Mia in shock.

"What? There is someone that talented?!"

"Who is she?"

Both the elders and the future disciples dropped their jaws to the ground. Even the genius next to her looked shocked as if she couldn't believe someone more talented than her.

Mia had the urge to say something, but it would give away the fact that she came from another world. So, it was kind of hard to play like this. If not for Theo using his illusion to trick everyone, these elders would have realized it.

The elder even grabbed Mia's wrist to recheck the age of her bone, saying, "She's truly 7 years old."

"This…"

"What about her talent?"

The elders were panicking. On the one hand, they believed that such a girl would have a Heaven Grade talent. On the other hand, they thought they might see the birth of a talent higher than the Heaven Grade.

The elder said with a smile, "Little girl, how about placing your hand on the crystal?"

Mia didn't follow the instructions immediately. Instead, she wondered what kind of talent she was planning to show.

'What should I show? I mean, the highest talent should be Heaven Grade, right? Because I'm not from this world, there is no way I have a spiritual root. However, I think I can make a Spiritual Root for a moment through my Deception ability.

'But what kind of talent should I have? Maybe I will make it bigger, like a talent higher than Heaven Grade? It seems that talent is differentiated by the brightness of the light.

'But just showing off doesn't really suit my style. Should I make them have a heart attack?'

Mia had thought of a plan.

"What's wrong? You just have to place your hand on the crystal. Or do you not understand me?" The elder tilted her head in confusion, not knowing why this kid suddenly fell silent.

She could force Mia to place her hand on the crystal, but if she was as talented as the report, it wouldn't be wise to make her hate this sect by forcing her.

Fortunately, before she had to resort to force, Mia walked toward the crystal and placed her hand on the crystal.

She closed her eyes for a moment.

The elders couldn't help but squint their eyes, wanting to know her talent.

'First. I'm going to show ordinary talent.' Mia thought while setting up her deception.

A pink light soon appeared inside the crystal, forming a teddy bear. However, the brightness couldn't be compared to what the previous kid had shown. In fact, this light might only be as bright as a street lamp.

"Hmmm? Human Grade Talent?" The elder furrowed her eyebrows as she couldn't believe such a talented kid only had a Human Grade Talent. "Is her cultivation the work of an elixir?"

"Is there something wrong?"

The elders on the platform also watched in disbelief.

"I thought that she was a talented person. She might have consumed a large amount of pills, meaning she had damaged her foundation and made her unable to progress much in the future."

"That's right. She might use that method to become a disciple here. Even if she couldn't progress anymore, she could still live leisurely inside the sect."

"That little brat was sneaky, but that's not enough to fool the Snow Blossom Sect."

The candidates were sneering, thinking Mia had actually cheated her way in. Luckily, they found out about their talent so soon before the elders took her as a disciple.

To the elders' surprise, the light suddenly vanished.

"Huh?!" The elder next to her was the first to notice. She understood how the crystal worked perfectly. As long as someone touched it, it would scan the energy from within that person and show its talent.

The light shouldn't disappear when Mia still places her hand on the crystal. So, what actually happened?

Mia smirked, thinking, 'Look at them. They are sneering right away. Even if we go to a sect filled with young misses, I guess you can't escape from their arrogance. In that case, it's time to shut them up.'

As soon as Mia opened her eyes, the pink light appeared again. The form it created expanded multiple times and the light it produced was so bright that even the elders had to cover their eyes with their hands.

"What is this light?"

"The light from the Heaven Grade Talent isn't even this bright!"

"What's happening?"

Mia chuckled inwardly. 'Come, come. Let me shut you all up! And after this, they will deny everything that I've shown and we can start the face-slapping time!'

The potential of beating her father in the mind game had filled her heart with happiness, albeit Theo had a backup plan.

"Where is the kid?" Li Shuye's voice suddenly echoed across the entire area, startling everyone. A few small petals suddenly rained down to the ground, causing the people to raise their heads finding Li Shuye standing on top of a translucent blue lotus together with Qing Yuan.

"Sect Master!" All the elders dropped to one knee while cupping their hands.

The others were shocked, but they ended up doing the same thing after regaining their composure.

The sect master of the Snow Blossom Sect actually made her appearance.

Even though they were all female, they couldn't help but get mesmerized by her beauty and temperament.

"!!!" Mia's body shook, noticing what had just happened. She couldn't help but turn her head to her father, finding him sticking his tongue out as if he had outsmarted her once again. 'He got me. He knew I would do this and used that elder to bring out the sect master to shut these people up. And with this, I can't face-slap these people?!'

As soon as Li Shuye saw the blue-haired kid who was standing with an elder, she hurriedly landed in front of her, examining this mysterious kid.

"So, you are the one." Li Shuye wondered if her face resembled that of anyone she knew. After all, someone as talented as her should come from a powerful figure.

Mia bit her lips as if she were frustrated by the result. She had lost to her father.

'Fine, fine. Since I lost, I will play along with your plan.' Mia clicked her tongue before looking Li Shuye in the eye.

Li Shuye was amused that a kid dared to look at her directly, but Mia actually formed a teddy bear on her hand before handing it to her.

"Oh my? What a cute kid! Is it for me—!!" Li Shuye abruptly stopped when she saw the teddy bear. At first, it looked like a gift. But if she took another look at the teddy bear, it resembled the power a certain brat used. "Eh?!"

Everything was clear as soon as she recalled that brat's identity.

And if the person before her was truly Mia Griffith, it meant the one who planned all this was her father. In other words, she panicked over nothing.

She hurriedly raised her head and tried to find that person, who actually leaned on the wall while crossing his arms. He had even removed his disguise to confirm her suspicion.

A few minutes ago.

Bang!

"Sect Master. We have an emergency situation." Elder Qing Yuan slammed the doors open, finding the sect master and other elders discussing sect matters.

"What's wrong? Aren't you supposed to be at the gate to recruit some disciples?"

"Yes, but…" Qing Yuan took a deep breath to regain her composure. "One of the candidates seemed to be 7 years old with a cultivation of 9-Star."

Click!

Click!

Bamboo scrolls fell down, producing a series of clicking sounds when hitting the wooden floor.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes. I personally checked the bones and the Spiritual Crystal measured her strength."

"Is she still in the test area? Who is her name?"

"She is moving to the aptitude test. She came with her father, who actually made me sense death. While I didn't get the name of the senior, I learned her name. She was called Zhao Jia."

"Surname Zhao?" Li Shuye furrowed her eyebrows. "Which Zhao? Is it Zhao from the Sacred Ground?"

"I don't know."

Li Shuye gritted her teeth before shouting, "We'll stop the discussion for today!"

The elders seemed to be curious as they had never heard of someone this talented, but if the sect master personally came, it would be impossible to get her.

"Let's go!" Li Shuye waved her hand to Qing Yuan as she immediately soared into the sky. A giant blue petal appeared beneath his foot and flew into the sky, heading straight to the test area.

When Li Shuye recalled the previous moment, she couldn't help but cough a few times, realizing that everything turned out to be what Theo had planned. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire

Cough!

Cough!

"Sect Master? What's wrong?" Qing Yuan asked, panicking. She thought the sect master was too upset with this person's identity.

But Li Shuye's next action dispelled all forms of hostility. Their sect master actually straightened her back and cupped her hands politely. "Snow Blossom Sect's Sect Master, Li Shuye, greets the World Union Academy's Teacher, Theodore Griffith."

"World Union Academy?" Qing Yuan widened her eyes in shock, looking at Theo.

"A Teacher?" The elder next to Mia trembled.

"Theodore Griffith…" Xiao Xue dropped her jaw to the ground. She had been ordered to report everything she knew about this person to the sect master, but it turned out she had been talking to him the whole time.

All their eyes turned to Theo, who actually disappeared for a second like he had been erased. But with a blink of an eye, he soon reassembled right in front of Li Shuye while taking out the platinum token Li Shuye gave him back then. "I've come."

"EEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHH?"
