The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal-Chapter 1055: Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Bottleneck
The sect entry examination was in full swing.
Millions of outstanding cultivators squeezed into the Scroll World, each displaying their Divine Skills, all prepared to reach the endpoint as quickly as possible.
"The Misty Sect’s entry examination is quite interesting," said an elder in the Void Break Realm who was observing, drawing attention from the crowd.
"How so?"
A cultivator asked.
The elder in the Void Break Realm explained:
"Haven’t you noticed? The eighteen challenges in the Scroll World cover all aspects of assessment. Some are illusionary formations that test the cultivator’s resolve."
"Some test speed."
"Some test endurance."
"Some challenges even test combat experience and the ability to handle situations on the fly."
"Those who can pass these comprehensive challenges are truly the elites among the young generation."
"And Misty Sect selects only a thousand from them, the best of the best."
"Isn’t such an examination really interesting?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into contemplation.
"Indeed, not to mention being able to rank at the top, just being able to pass all the challenges is a matter of pride. Such cultivators generally have no obvious weaknesses in any aspect."
"Yes!"
"Sect Master Ye designed such an examination with great care."
"If only I weren’t so old, I would also like to participate in the examination."
Many cultivators soon agreed with the interpretation of the elder in the Void Break Realm and started discussing it on the spot.
At the Sect Main Plaza,
Ye Feng stood still, his form ethereal, giving the impression of a Divine Sense projection from another world, exuding a profound, imposing, and unshakeable aura.
He was observing these outstanding cultivators.
Some among them performed exceptionally well and caught Ye Feng’s attention.
...
At the summit of Misty Peak.
Hu Feifei sat under the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, eyes gleaming as she looked at the dozen or so Origin Source Crystals in front of her.
"Amazing!"
"There are five Heavenly Saint Level Origin Source Crystals and the rest are at the Saint Manifestation Level. Devouring all of these could almost allow me to transform into a top-tier cultivator at the Heavenly Saint Level."
Hu Feifei was extremely excited.
These Origin Source Crystals were given to her by Ye Feng.
Recently, Ye Feng had gone through several battles, wiped out many saints of the Wind-Fire Holy Sect, and even killed eight Heavenly Saints who ambushed him, along with several others afterward.
As a result, his gains were incredibly substantial.
Although most of the powers from the saints had been absorbed by the Misty Boundary and transformed into the Power of the World, many Origin Source Crystals were left behind.
With a "crack",
Hu Feifei crushed these Origin Source Crystals and, like eating crackling ice, swallowed them all.
"Wow, delicious!"
As the vast energy disseminated within her body, Hu Feifei relished the moment and continued munching.
At the Sect Main Plaza,
Ye Feng heard a notification sound near his ear.
[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 45%]
[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 51%]
As the notifications continued to sound, Ye Feng noticed that Hu Feifei’s upgrade energy was steadily increasing. As the sect entry examination drew to a close, her upgrade progress had reached 98%.
Then, Hu Feifei’s progress stalled.
"It seems she has hit a bottleneck," Ye Feng murmured.
Whoosh!
A pink silhouette appeared next to Ye Feng, it was Hu Feifei.
At this moment, she was pouting.
Her enchanting face was filled with discontent.
"Sect Leader, I’ve hit another bottleneck," Hu Feifei said, clutching Ye Feng’s arm and shaking it.
"I know," Ye Feng nodded and responded, "To break through the bottleneck, you need to absorb Heaven and Earth Phenomena, the Power of the World, and a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Laws."
"That should be easy, right?" Hu Feifei’s eyes lit up, "I know you possess these powers, give them to me, all of them, I want them!"
Hearing this, the people around the plaza turned to look.
"Cough cough!"
Ye Feng looked into the eyes filled with shocked and bashful expressions of the crowd; his face immediately reddened, and, seizing Hu Feifei’s shoulder, he led her away from the Sect Main Plaza.
Misty Peak summit.
"Ouch! Sect Leader, please be gentler!"
Hu Feifei was casually thrown onto the grass by Ye Feng, immediately pouting and rolling onto her side, giving Ye Feng a flirtatious look.
"Seductress, truly a seductress!" Ye Feng, lost for words, commented.
"I act this way only towards you, Sect Leader. I’m very aloof with anyone else!" Hu Feifei said with a laugh.
"Enough of this," Ye Feng interjected, stretching out his hand. He stirred the Misty Boundary within him, releasing a formidable Power of the World, which he channeled into Hu Feifei’s body.
[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 98.6%]
When the progress reached 98.6%, no matter how much more Power of the World Ye Feng infused, Hu Feifei’s progress stalled.
He knew it was time to switch to a different element.
"Next comes the Power of Laws." Ye Feng extended his hand and directed the Power of Laws from his body into the center of Hu Feifei’s forehead.
[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 99.5%]
This time, her progress stalled there.
"Next comes the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon," Ye Feng said.
He stretched out his hand, and a world phenomenon appeared in his palm.
If one were to closely observe Ye Feng’s palm, they would be astounded to see it contained countless worlds, encompassing vast plains, fertile hills, lush grasslands, a deep blue sky, and numerous flourishing trees.
This was the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, encompassing everything!
"What a miraculous power!"
Hu Feifei gaped in awe at Ye Feng’s palm, pressing her forehead against it to absorb the power of the world phenomenon.
[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 99.6%]
…
[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 100%]
Shortly after, Hu Feifei’s energy reached full level, her body trembled, and a significant transformation occurred within her.
"I... I’m so sleepy!"
Hu Feifei’s eyes closed, and she just lay there on the ground, falling into a deep sleep.
"She’s going to transform for fifty years!"
Ye Feng, eyes wide with amazement, watched Hu Feifei.
He raised his hand and cast a spell, enveloping Hu Feifei with a Time Array that accelerated time by a hundredfold; the outside world aged half a year, while inside it aged a hundred years.
Then, Hu Feifei rose up and floated down beneath the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, lying beside the Spirit Pool, undergoing her transformation.
"I’ve finally sorted it out!"
Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief.
To be honest, infusing Hu Feifei with the necessary World Power, Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, and Power of Laws had nearly exhausted him, almost to the point of collapse.
"If I had not achieved Saint Manifestation, I simply wouldn’t have had enough energy to facilitate Hu Feifei’s upgrade," Ye Feng muttered to himself.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating his Cultivation Technique to recover his strength.
Sect Main Plaza.
The beginner entrance exam finally reached its conclusion.
The top one thousand talents crossed the finish line one after another, returning to the Sect Main Plaza, and saw their rankings on the list announced by Gong Qingqiu, their hearts bursting with joy.
"I made it through!"
"I made it through too!"
The one thousand talents jumped up in excitement.
"Those who didn’t pass the exam may leave; those who passed, stay behind. Follow me shortly to the summit of Misty Peak to register your discipleship with the Sect Leader and for the subsequent sermon," Gong Qingqiu said loudly, walking alongside Xia Wenwen.
"Ah!"
"We didn’t pass again."
"Don’t worry, there’s another chance next month."
"That’s true."
The talents who failed the exam looked dejected, some leaving immediately, others kneeling on the ground, reluctant to accept their fate.
Yet, within an hour, they all had to leave.
"Follow me."
Gong Qingqiu led the thousand disciples who passed the exam up the winding stone steps of Misty Peak towards the summit.
Hours later.
Ye Feng opened his eyes, saw Gong Qingqiu, Xia Wenwen, and the new Outer Sect Disciples approaching, and revealed a gentle smile.
"Please, have a seat!"
Ye Feng’s tranquil voice resounded, reaching the ears of the audience and gradually calming their nervous hearts.
