ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

Chapter 21: Your talent is almost frightening!



The inheritance was hidden within a cave in a small mountain.

They both entered the cave, which was dark and eerily quiet. Not even the sound of the wind could be heard.

When they stepped in, the light from Wuji's Ethereal Qi Sanctuary, aka the transparent light barrier, illuminated the dark cave.

"Light profound energy, to think I could see it after such a long time, sigh." Suddenly, an ancient voice echoed from above. The voice carried a nostalgic tone, ending with a sad sigh.

"Dragon God?" Yuechan, leaning against Wuji's chest, asked softly.

"You are correct, but also not. I am merely a wisp of a residual soul left behind by the Primordial Azure Dragon to watch over this trial ground."

Suddenly, a pair of mysterious eyes opened in the pitch-black space above them. These eyes were enormous, yet long and narrow, resembling the shape of human eyes.

"Lord Azure Dragon, I am here to accept the trial," Yun Wuji said, gently releasing Yuechan as he stepped forward.

"Very good. It has been a very long time since a new challenger came," the Primordial Azure Dragon's voice echoed, resonating through the cave.

"Very long time? Why?" Yuechan asked, her curiosity piqued.

"A thousand years ago, one hundred twenty-nine challengers came here," the Primordial Azure Dragon explained. "But since then, two Flood Dragons, drawn by my aura, have remained here and kept anyone else from approaching. This has continued for a thousand years."

"You are indeed qualified to undergo the trial I left behind. If you can pass it, I will grant you three drops of Azure Dragon blood and allow you to possess the Dragon God's bloodline," the Primordial Azure Dragon's eyes fixed on Wuji as it spoke.

"However, despite your strength, the trial I left behind does not test merely the challenger's strength. It assesses innate talent, willpower, and determination. The difficulty of the trial will adapt to the challenger's strength. Once you enter the trial grounds, there are only two possible outcomes: either you pass and obtain the Dragon God's bloodline, or you face death."

"Even so, do you still wish to enter the trial grounds?" the Primordial Azure Dragon asked, his voice echoing with a slow, deliberate tone.

"Obviously I will," Yun Wuji simply nodded.

"Your answer is not reluctant. Your courage is quite remarkable," the Primordial Azure Dragon said. "Before you enter the gate of the trial ground, you have time to prepare, especially mentally. The trial is harsh and may drive you into despair, so make sure you are fully prepared before you begin."

"No need for preparation I am ready," He was ready from the moment he decided to come to this place.

"I admire your determination and courage. Since you are ready, step into the gate of the trial grounds." As the Primordial Azure Dragon's voice faded, a blue light flickered on the rock wall before Yun Wuji. Soon, a teleportation formation, over two men in height, materialized.

The teleportation formation leads toward the trial grounds.

"Wait for me. I'll be back soon," he said, turning to Little Fairy and gently patting her head before walking toward the formation.

"Hmm~ Stay safe," she nodded with a sweet smile. Her strong faith in his abilities made her confident he would pass the trial.

Yun Wuji stepped into the formation, and as soon as he did, it disappeared with him.

He was teleported to a desolate highland. The landscape was dominated by steep mountains that rose sharply into the sea of clouds. This mountain range encircled the area, creating an inescapable and isolated land where only a fraction of the light managed to reach.

In the skies above, the Primordial Azure Dragon's voice echoed, "Welcome to the Dragon God's trial grounds. This trial consists of three stages. You are currently in the first stage. The only entrance to the second stage lies ahead. Defeat all the Stone Dragon Warriors here, and the entrance will open. I wish you the best of luck."

As the Primordial Azure Dragon's voice faded, two balls of dirt-yellow light flashed. When the light scattered, two figures appeared before Yun Wuji. They resembled ordinary humans but seemed to be carved from stone, their bodies unbelievably solid. Their heads were a mix of human and dragon features. Each held a stone spear in one hand and a stone shield in the other, their expressionless eyes fixed firmly on him.

The aura they possessed was at the third level of the Sky Profound Realm.

Yun Wuji raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Why are they so weak?" he wondered. He clearly remembered that in the novel, the monsters Yun Che faced during the Dragon God's trial were of equal strength to him.

He quickly slapped his forehead in realization. "Oh, right, I forgot," he muttered. Yun Che had struggled with the trial because he brought Yuechan along, which had doubled the difficulty.

"Well, it doesn't matter," he shrugged and muttered, "Domain Expansion."

He was on a small, isolated platform, less than a quarter of a kilometer long and barely a hundred meters wide. As his domain expanded, it quickly engulfed the space in a blaze of crimson fire!

The stone warriors had no time to react before they were incinerated, reduced to mere ashes. After the Stone Dragon Warriors were reduced to ashes, Yun Wuji kept his domain active and waited.

Two breaths later, four yellow orbs of light began to flash. As they faded, four more Stone Dragon Warriors appeared, identical in appearance and strength to the previous ones. The newly appeared Stone Dragon Warriors met the same fate as their predecessors. The instant they fully materialized, they were reduced to ashes by the crimson fire.

Right after, yellow rays of light flashed again, and this time, eight Stone Dragon Warriors appeared. Once again, the moment they materialized, they were instantly reduced to ashes by Yun Wuji's domain.

Next, the yellow light once again flashed in front of him, and sixteen new Stone Dragon Warriors appeared. However, they met the same fate as the previous ones, turning to ashes the moment they materialized.

"Young man, your domain is very powerful, but be mindful of its consumption," the Primordial Azure Dragon's voice echoed.

"..." Yun Wuji.

The fifth wave brought thirty-two Stone Dragon Warriors, and they met the same fate, incinerated instantly.

The sixth wave followed with sixty-four Stone Dragon Warriors, who were also reduced to ashes upon appearing.

The seventh wave brought forth one hundred and twenty-eight Stone Dragon Warriors. Just like the previous waves, they materialized only to be swiftly turned to ashes by Yun Wuji's

domain.

The eighth wave brought forth two hundred and fifty-six Stone Dragon Warriors.

For most, facing such a vast number of warriors, especially after enduring seven previous waves, would be a nightmare. But for Yun Wuji, it was akin to squashing ants. The moment they materialized, they were incinerated into ashes!

The ninth wave brought forth double the previous number, a staggering five hundred and twelve Stone Dragon Warriors. Amongst these Stone Dragon Warriors, the ones in front held broadswords, swords, and spears, while those at the back carried massive longbows. However, like their predecessors, they turned to ashes the moment they appeared.

"..." The Primordial Azure Dragon was speechless as he watched Yun Wuji pass nine waves in less than a minute. Shouldn't he fight until he bled his last, gathering his determination and willpower to stand tall and continue? Why did it feel like he was on a stroll in the park instead? After the ninth wave, a rumbling sound came from the mountain cliffs ahead. A ten-meter- tall gate opened, and a towering silhouette emerged with heavy steps. The gate closed behind

it with a rumble.

The figure stood over three meters tall, clad in thick, golden armor. It wielded a heavy sword with a twisted shape, resembling a dragon bone, and the tip of the sword was shaped like a ferocious roaring dragon.

The tenth and final wave featured a single warrior: the Stone Dragon General. With an aura of the first Level Emperor Profound Realm, this formidable general was a true final boss, capable of effortlessly defeating common Sky Profound Realm opponents with a single slap.

However, just like his little brothers, the Stone Dragon General was incinerated the moment he stepped into the fire domain.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

With the death of the Stone Dragon General, the enormous stone gate slowly opened. The Primordial Azure Dragon's shaken voice echoed from above, "Young human, your talent is

almost frightening!"
