"It's none of your business. Get out of the way."
Northgate Xuande scolded.
Qin Hao didn't say anything.
Whoosh!
Zhou Wudao, Sea Sand, Tsiogua, Shou Wuque, Qin Yun, and the others stepped out from behind Qin Hao at the same time, blocking Northgate Xuande in the middle.
Even though Northgate Xuande was from the Dongzhou Pharmaceutical Academy, he was still shocked by this momentum.
"Sister, how should we deal with him?"
Qin Hao said to Yun Yingshang, who was beside him. She only needed to answer him, and any one of them would be able to beat Northgate Xuande to a pulp.
Of course, Qin Hao couldn't kill him. The consequences of doing so during the assessment of the Divine Palace were unpredictable. This was also the reason why the Golden Bell Platform didn't deal with Changhe Lo.
But if Northgate Xuande was beaten to a pulp, the punishment from the Divine Palace wouldn't be too severe. After all, there was bound to be friction within the Sect.
Northgate Xuande was surprised to hear Qin Hao call his sister. It turned out that Qin Hao was Yun Ying Chang's younger brother. If he had known about Qin Hao's identity, he wouldn't have acted so coldly just now.
However, he was more surprised by the surrounding martial artists. Head Wu Que, Zhou Wu Dao, Hai Sha, and Qi Xiao Gua, any one of them had a terrifyingly strong aura. Although he could not see through the cultivation of these people, the geniuses all had a dangerous aura that made people's hearts palpitate.
The higher the cultivation, the clearer this feeling was. Obviously, Northgate Xuande wasn't a mediocre person. He felt a suffocating pressure from Shou Wuque and the others.
This proved that these people were all talented and ruthless.
"Tell me, how do you want to discuss this?"
Zhou Wudao stepped out and stood in front of Northgate Xuande. He was wearing a golden robe and was about the same height as Qin Hao. He looked down at Northgate Xuande, their faces almost touching. His royal aura was so oppressive that Northgate Xuande didn't dare to breathe.
"It … it's a misunderstanding …" Beads of cold sweat dripped down Northgate Xuande's forehead.
"Forget it."
Yun Ying Chang said.
Qin Hao waved his hand and the crowd dispersed.
Northgate Xuande heaved a sigh of relief. His underwear was completely soaked, and he felt like he had just survived a disaster.
"It's not up to you to criticize my sister's medicinal skills. I'll teach her and help her if she's lacking. Understand?"
Qin Hao's voice was calm, yet it revealed a strand of domineering courage.
"Understood."
Northgate Xuande hurriedly nodded. In the next second, he seemed to have thought of something. His eyes widened as he pointed at Qin Hao and asked, "You taught her?"
Northgate Xuande couldn't help but want to laugh at the questioning tone in his voice.
A younger brother teaching an older sister?
Yun Ying Chang's grades were so bad that she was at the bottom. How high could her younger brother, Qin Hao's alchemy skills be?
Of course, he didn't dare to say this out loud. After all, there were so many people in Shou Wuque present. But everyone could feel the faint contempt at the corner of his mouth.
"Tan Geng, make him understand."
Zhou Wudao ordered.
Tan Geng was already on the Divine Herb Platform. His source spirit lit up, and the Soul Pot flew to the flower bed. The Soul Pot tilted down, and a clear stream of medicinal power poured out of the pot, flowing through the soil and into the roots of the flower bed.
Buzz!
A strong brilliance enveloped the flower bed. Under the light of the flower, the weak flower bed grew quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it grew into a tree that was ten feet tall, and its growth speed didn't slow down.
"What a strong medicine soul power."
A martial artist exclaimed.
Northgate Xuande saw this scene and his heart was moved.
So far, the highest result of the Divine Herb Test was only four feet tall. Tan Geng made a move, and the Divine Herb grew to ten feet tall. Obviously, he was very talented.
The soul power from the Soul Pot nourished the tree in the flower bed, and it continued to grow. It didn't slow down until it was six feet tall.
At this time, Tan Geng's cheeks were covered in sweat.
"Rise."
Golden flames spun from his feet like a whirlwind. Tan Geng's depleted soul power was quickly replenished, and his body's condition was better than before.
After going through the test of the Ten Emperors, he had also stepped into the first level of the Emperor Realm.
The moment he released his cultivation, the Divine Herb in the flower bed continued to grow. It went from seven feet to eight feet, shocking many martial artists. Even Yun Ying Chang was dumbfounded. She knew how difficult it was. She was also a first-level Emperor Realm cultivator, but she had only made the Divine Herb grow two feet tall after using all her strength.
However, Tan Geng had made the Divine Herb grow eight feet tall. The difference was huge.
His innate source spirit was indeed the standard to measure a genius.
However, eight feet was Tan Geng's limit. It had almost exhausted his energy in an instant, so he could only give up.
"It's a little embarrassing."
Tan Geng kept his source spirit and shook his head with a sigh. The other martial artists on the Divine Herb Platform couldn't help but want to beat him up.
Eight feet tall.
He was only ten feet away from a perfect result. How could this be considered embarrassing?
"It's indeed embarrassing. You've embarrassed me. Look at Shou Wuque. On the Battle Drum Platform, he struck nine times with his sword.
On the Golden Bell Platform, he rose 12 feet.
If you were half as outstanding as him, the cultivation resources the Great Zhou Imperial Family spent on you wouldn't have been in vain. "
Zhou Wudao was exasperated when he compared Tan Geng to Shou Wuque, who was born with the laws of the sword.
However, this really scared the martial artists on the Divine Herb Platform.
Nine strikes of the Battle Drum Platform, a perfect result.
On the Golden Bell Platform, Zhong Sheng rose 12 feet, breaking the perfect record and creating a new limit.
Was this something a human could do?
Even Northgate Xuande couldn't help but want to curse.
"You have the cheek to criticize me?
He stepped on the Emperor Road and went through three tests of the Emperor Statue. You didn't even pass one. Why don't you compare yourself to Shou Wuque? "
Tan Geng said unhappily.
Clang!
Someone fainted on the ground. Northgate Xuande felt his head bleed and his eyes rolled back.
"It's a little embarrassing. I've embarrassed myself."
Shou Wuque smiled modestly.
"Being overly humble is being hypocritical."
Even Qin Hao couldn't stand it anymore. He looked at Northgate Xuande and asked, "Do you understand?"
"Yes."
Northgate Xuande was very honest this time. "However, the test on the Divine Herb Platform is different from the other four platforms. This swordsman may not be able to perform well here."
"You don't agree?"
Qin Hao asked.
"Haha."
Northgate Xuande turned to face the divine herb. His gaze fell on the sprout that had returned to its original form. "I admit that I'm inferior when it comes to swordsmanship. However, when it comes to the art of medicine, I'm second. No one in the Bay of Fallen Emperors dares to claim to be first. Even Tan Geng isn't qualified."
After he finished speaking, a fierce soul light flashed, and a medicine staff appeared in Northgate Xuande's hand. At this moment, he became extremely confident, as if he was a medicine god. He waved the medicine staff in his hand, and beams of light fell on the divine herb on the flower platform. With each beam, the divine herb grew 10 feet taller. Its growth speed was not inferior to Tan Geng's.
