Chapter 21 Is he almost finished?
Qiu Xuankuang, standing in front of the screen, gazed at the room with the character "Medicine" (醫) on it for a while before pointing at it regretfully: "Huo Erdan, look, yet another disciple of our sect has failed while trying a new combination of the character 'divine'!"
"Creating a new combination of divine runes is incredibly difficult these days. Many disciples come to our Divine Rune Hall every day to try and combine divine runes, but most experience repeated failures. Moreover, ranking among the top ten of our sect's other combat techniques is even harder!"
"Xiao Huo, if you really are Wang Yan's good brother, don't put too much pressure on him. With his abilities, it's already quite an achievement that he was able to combine new divine-level combat techniques and surpass Di Nan and Young Master Zhao Mingtong in the competition. Even if he didn't make it into the top ten in his category, you should still comfort him."
These words revealed concern. Huo Erdan was taken aback for a moment, then understood. He forced a smile and said, "Yes, disciple understands! Disciple will not insist."
Although he said he wouldn't force it, the radiance on Huo Erdan's face was clearly gone, and his once robust body was no longer as upright.
At this moment, the door to the room with the character "Medicine" opened, and a young girl with snow-white skin, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, dressed in the robes of an inner disciple, walked out wearily.
Her large almond-shaped eyes were bloodshot with worry and resentment, and her once jet-black hair was now askew to one side.
As soon as Qiao Bendu saw her, he rushed over immediately: "Junior Sister Jiang, you've finally come out! Come back to the peak with me, Grandmaster misses you."
The girl paused for a moment, then stubbornly shook her head: "I haven't succeeded yet, I'm not going back..."
She looked again at the light screen on the wall of the room with the character "速" (speed), and then her bright eyes suddenly narrowed, and she exclaimed in astonishment, "It was him? He succeeded?"
Qiao Bendu stared in surprise: "Junior Sister Jiang, you know Wang Yan?"
"I...he..." The girl suddenly stammered, an unnatural blush rising on her pink face. "Uh...I've seen him before."
Di Nan, who was standing to the side, suddenly answered very decisively: "Wang Yan successfully combined a new speed-type divine combat skill a few days ago. Now let's see if this combat skill can be ranked in the top ten of the speed category."
The girl, momentarily lost in thought, murmured, "Was it a few days ago?"
At this moment, Zhao Mingtong, his eyes filled with affection, gently approached the girl: "Junior Sister Jiang, you still prefer coming to the Divine Script Hall!"
"Oh, it's Senior Brother Zhao!" The girl suddenly snapped out of her daze, recognized him, and immediately took a slightly distant step back, returned the greeting, and then asked in confusion, "Why didn't Senior Brother Zhao write the character 'God' in the Temple of Divine Practice, but came here instead..."
She suddenly realized: "You came with Senior Brother Qiao and Junior Brother Di?"
"Senior Sister Jiang!" Di Nan suddenly spoke up before Zhao Mingtong could, briefly recounting what had happened, and then added, "Now, we are all waiting for the ranking of this combat skill."
Seeing the girl's eyes grow brighter and brighter, finally gazing joyfully at the screen, the previously ignored Zhao Mingtong immediately spoke up confidently, "Junior Sister Jiang, Wang Yan is just an ordinary country boy who hasn't read many books. How could he possibly have the talent to combine divine characters? His success this time is at most a fluke, and he definitely won't make it into the top ten in the category!"
"Of course, as he learns more of the word 'god' in the future, perhaps that will be possible."
"That's hard to say!" Huo Erdan immediately retorted loudly, "I think Yanzi has talent."
The girl looked at Huo Erdan in surprise, then at the light screen on the wall, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on her pink face: "He was able to apply successfully on his first try, so he must have talent."
Seeing her smile, as radiant as spring flowers, filled with anticipation and seemingly very optimistic about Wang Yan, Zhao Mingtong's face immediately darkened.
Huo Erdan grinned happily, "Senior Sister Jiang, you support Yanzi too? You have good taste! Much better than some people's!"
"Ahem!" Qiao Bendu suddenly coughed softly from the side. "Junior Sister Jiang often goes out on missions and meets a lot of people, so she naturally has a good eye... Hmm? Is he... almost finished?"
As Qiao Bendu exclaimed in surprise, everyone suddenly saw several colorful rays of light appear between Wang Yan's eyebrows.
It looks dazzling, soft, and bright, bringing joy to people at first sight.
"A superior blessing from the God of Literature!" Qiu Xuankuang murmured in surprise, then glanced strangely at the astonished young man in a magic robe and Hu Jingfa beside him before quietly shutting his mouth.
……
At this moment, Wang Yan, inside the "Speed" God Room, had completely absorbed the surging tide of profound energy.
With all twelve regular meridians open, and the eight extraordinary meridians, which originally only had two open, now had one more open, making cultivation faster than usual.
When one observes internally, the profound energy within the body surges and is abundant, and can be mobilized at any time to unleash several times the effect.
His muscles are also thicker and stronger than before.
The number of divine characters that can be mobilized at the same time in the sea of consciousness has reached more than forty, and the five-character inlay column has also been unlocked. The divine characters placed in it can quadruple their power and energy!
It felt like the constraints within my body had loosened, making me feel lighter.
"This has further increased my speed!"
Wang Yan first added the two divine characters "Zeng Xuan" to the empty space in the inlaid column.
Feeling the speed at which his profound energy increased fourfold in an instant, Wang Yan's lips curled up slightly in pleasure.
At this moment, the four divine characters that were still dancing gracefully beside Wang Yan rearranged themselves again, slowly falling onto the supporting stone, disappearing from sight.
Immediately afterwards, a relieved sound came from inside the room.
"Congratulations to Wang Yan, a Level 2 Spirit Sprout, for creating a new speed-type evasion divine combat skill. Disciples at the mid-stage of the Profound Movement realm can use it. It ranks third among speed-type combat skills at the Condensation Realm and below. A special reward of 36000 points is given."
Wang Yan's gaze instantly intensified.
"How could these four characters even make it into the top three of the category? Could it be that they have some wonderful uses that I haven't discovered yet?"
Wang Yan had a general idea of how the points were calculated. For those at the Profound Breaking Realm, the points were 1000 for each rank improvement from tenth to sixth, and 2000 for each rank improvement from fifth to first.
For those at the Condensation Realm, the points are doubled for the same tier.
At the same time, outside the house with the character "速" (speed) in its name, Huo Erdan and the others heard the broadcast.
Huo Erdan, who was clenching his fists, was taken aback for a moment, then excitedly hugged the surprised Di Nan: "Haha...it's third! Third!"
Di Nan smiled with delight: "I told you he could do it!"
Equally surprised, Qiu Xuankuang sighed from a short distance away.
"I didn't expect this kid to actually have some luck!"
Zhong Jinghuo heard it clearly, and his face quickly darkened.
Zhu Siniu clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and was filled with envy.
The other level two and level three spirit sprouts present began to stir.
"That was really Wang Yan's idea!"
"Speed ranks third in the category, no wonder Zhao Mingtong couldn't catch him!!"
After the initial surprise, Qiao Bendu immediately walked to the stone table in front of the screen, took out the metal identity badge from his waist, and flashed it on the "Divine Script Exchange" divine character pattern on the side of the stone table.
With a soft "hum," the runes quickly lit up, forming a pillar of light between him and his nameplate, followed by a light screen with text.
