"I never thought that the martial skills displayed by my nephew Long Feng would be so eye-opener. Hehe." However, isn't it too narrow-minded to only imitate other people's methods! " Ye Hailong didn't even have a smile on his face and didn't have the slightest intention of congratulating him.

"However, martial arts cultivation emphasizes on the tempering of origin energy. Outer martial skills are only a way to enhance their support. No matter how powerful a martial skill is, in front of absolute origin energy and spirit energy, it can't withstand a single blow!"

"En, what the Ye Clan Head said is very true. This tempering of Yuan Qi within the body is the goal of our Profound Moon Sect." The white robed dragon, Leng Hua and Xu Tuo Huang were all in favor of Ye Hao's reasoning.

"I, Zhang Feng, had only opened my Qi a month ago, and in less than a month, I have already advanced to Rank 4 and reached the Soul Transformation stage. This cultivation speed is truly amazing."

"What, this kid just opened his meridians a month ago?" Leng Hua and Xu Tuo Huang were stunned at the same time, and then laughed: "White robed dragon, this time you are wrong, hehe..."

In fact, the most important stage of martial arts cultivation was the golden decade from the age of six to sixteen, which was called martial arts cultivation. This stage was not only in the golden age of physical development, but also the golden period when the meridians in the body were reconstructed.

The depth of one's cultivation base would determine how far one could go in the future. If one missed this golden decade, then their achievements in the future would be very limited. One could even predict that this person wouldn't have much to do with martial arts in the future.

Therefore, even though Lu Changfeng had displayed extremely powerful martial talent, in the eyes of Leng Hua and Xu Tuo Huang, Lu Changfeng would eventually disappear without a trace. It was unknown whether he would even be able to break through to the next realm as a King.

"Ahh, what a shame. He has such strong martial skills, but at the end, he can only become a low-level cultivator." Some of the people in the crowd could not help but shake their heads and sigh when they heard Ye Good Dragon's words.

"The cultivation of the martial path lies in the dantian. The cultivation of the spirit energy is the core of the martial path, and the foundation is the foundation."

"Therefore, I advise the men of Cyan Cloud Town to not waste their energy tempering and spiritual power upgrading in order to pursue visual shock and to immerse themselves in martial arts training."

"Not only will this act of reversing the truth harm oneself, it will also make others laugh at him, making him extremely foolish!"

Ye Tianlong said to everyone with a smile on his face, but it was obvious that anyone could say that he was humiliating Lu Changfeng!

"Nephew Changfeng, don't take it to heart. These are the words from Uncle Ye and from your grandfather. We are all doing this for your own good."

"Uncle Ye is right. I am the one who wanted to say it." Lu Changfeng was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Then, let's begin the second round of the true strength competition. The Spiritual Energy Competition shall be carried out by the Spiritual Shapeshift Pillar!"

As soon as Ye Wen and Long Zhaofeng finished talking, five people brought a two meter tall and three meter wide stone pillar up to the stage.

This spirit revealing pillar was completely transparent. There were seven black lines carved on the surface of the pillar. From the bottom up, each layer represented each of the Earth Stage realms.

The seventh level represented the peak of the earth realm, as well as the highest level of the earth realm. Martial dao practitioners at this level could almost crush all earth realm cultivators.

"According to the order in which the lots were drawn, the first one to come up and take a look is still Lu Jue!"

Lu Jue nodded and squatted down. Then, he stretched out his palms and pressed them against the Spiritual Illumination Pillar.

Suddenly, Lu Jue let out a loud roar and poured all the Essence Qi in his dantian into his arms. A pale white spiritual energy lingered around his arms.

At the same time, under the bombardment of his spiritual energy, the Spiritual Illumination Pillar started to burst out with dazzling light.

The first, second, third and fourth layers simultaneously emitted a white light, indicating that Lu Jue had at least reached the Soul Transformation realm.

Following the bombardment of Lu Jue's spiritual power, the white light on the fourth layer of the Spiritual Illumination Pillar started to turn green. This meant that Lu Jue's spiritual power was still in the Soul Transformation realm.

It was just that after one month, he had reached the peak of the Soul Transformation stage!

Not everyone was a genius like Ye Qiudi. To be able to cultivate from the early stage of Soul Transformation to the peak of Soul Transformation in just one month was already an amazing achievement.

"Lu Jue has improved again. He is indeed one of the best younger generation in the Lu Family. He is at the peak of the Soul Transformation stage. Isn't this enough to crush Lu Changfeng?"

"Lu Changfeng's martial skills are good, but his spiritual power cultivation is far from good. One month ago, he was only at the Transcending Mortality Stage. No matter how powerful he was, he was only at the Soul Transformation Stage. It would be difficult for him to reach the peak of the Soul Transformation Stage!"

The people below the stage all gave Lu Jue a thumbs up. He was seventeen years old and at the peak of the Soul Transformation stage, his cultivation speed was only below Ye Qiudi's.

"Trash, you're going to reveal your true colors now!" This time, Lu Jue passed by Lu Changfeng and laughed proudly: "You can scare people using martial skills? He's simply an idiot! "

..................................................................

Following that, one martial artist after another came up to the platform to be tested on the Spiritual Illumination Pillar. However, apart from Lu Jue, Lu Jun, Lu Fei, Lu Sheng, Xiang Yang, and Lin Qing, no one else had reached the Soul Transformation stage.

The best results were only from Lu Jue, Lu Jun, and Xiangyang, who were at the peak of the Soul Transformation stage.

Of course, the person who made Lu Changfeng the most gratified was Lu Jing. He had reached the early stage of Soul Transformation at the age of fourteen, which was comparable to Ye Qiudi.

However, when Ye Qiudi was fourteen, she had already reached the peak of the Soul Transformation stage. In another two years, she had reached the Earth King stage, and in just one month, she had advanced to the Earth King stage.

This cultivation speed was truly astonishing. It was far behind the others by more than one level. It was an existence that could completely crush others!

"It looks like only Ye Qiudi can shock us with this spiritual energy test!"

"An Earthly Sovereign Stage expert. It's been a long time since I've seen an Earthly Sovereign Stage expert exploding the Spiritual Illumination Stone."

"According to the historical records of our Greencloud Town, the legendary figure who managed to blow up the Show Spirit Pillar was called Bing Ji. Later on, she became the overlord of the Nine Prefectures, and her might shook the entire Nine Prefectures!"

"There is a heaven's will in this world. It seems like Ye Qiudi is definitely the next ice queen!"

"Next, Ye Qiudi!" Ye Tianlong finally shouted out the name that countless people were looking forward to.

If the first round of the martial arts demonstration hadn't revealed Lu Changfeng, Ye Qiudi would have performed perfectly and won the cheers and praise of the crowd.

But also because of Lu Changfeng's disturbance, Ye Qiudi was looking forward to the second round of the spiritual power test, eager to completely display her spiritual power level.

This was because she wanted everyone to know once again that she, Ye Qiudi, was a true genius in the cultivation of the martial arts in Greencloud Town. She was not a clown who relied on dazzling martial skills to trick the crowd!

Everyone held their breath, hoping to witness the shocking scene of the Icy-Age Rising Spirit Pillars exploding once again.
