《The Legend of The Grandmaster》Chapter 16

" Cough! "
Sun Tao, who had not yet calmed down from the excitement of finding an " Innate Full Spirit Power, " genius stopped daydreaming after hearing a light cough. He looked in the direction from where the sound came and happened to see Yu Xiaogang staring back at him.
He felt slightly embarrassed for losing his composure in front of him and quickly yet politely gestured Di Chun to go and sit in the corner. He thought of the bonus and promotion even before getting confirmation from the boy and his parents. Sun Tao did not even think about the possibility of rejection but envied the kid because he was certain that Di Chun would become a disciple of an Elder in the Spirit Hall.
" Come on, girl. "
Sun Tao spoke with a smile; he looked happier than before. Yu Yan stepped into the hexagon made of six black stones and stood nervously. Sun Tao again made hand seals, and his light blue spirit energy entered the black stones and began to spray hazy golden light.
As the golden light approached near Yu Yan's body, it got swallowed. Her body did not tremble as it absorbed the hazy golden light. She felt very comfortable as her body devoured the energy.
Sun Tao, on the other hand, was excited as he saw the little girl absorbing all the golden specks formed from his spirit power. This surprise turned into shock as she continued to swallow more energy. Usually, a child absorbs the golden light for a few seconds before the martial spirit awakens.
Sun Tao's body started to tremble as time passed and, he felt his spirit-power draining, and his already pale face became even paler. Yu Xiaogang noticed his situation and hurriedly stood up and walked behind him.
As Yu Xiaogang mobilized his spirit power, a black dragon phantom appeared behind him, and three black spirit rings appeared underfoot. He copied Sun Tao's actions and made the same hand signs before he poured his spirit power. Six wisps of thick black spirit energy began to flow into the six black round stones. It resulted in shinier golden energy being sprayed by the stones.

" Thanks! "
Sun Tao saw this and said in a weak voice as he stepped away from the center and sat down in the corner and began to restore his spirit energy.
Yu Yan, who was standing with her eyes closed in the formation, had no idea of the severity of the situation; instead, she had a happy smile on her face and swallowed Yu Xiaogang's spirit energy. It lasted for two more minutes before she stopped.
Yu Yan was shocked to see her father standing in front of her instead of Sun Tao after she opened her eyes.
Yu Yan spoke, " Father... "
Yu Xiaogang did not give her the time to speak and said, " Little Yan, lift your right hand. " Yu Yan obeyed her father and lifted her right hand, and the golden light surged out of her hand before the temperature in the shelter began to decrease, and everything around Yu Yan began to freeze. Everyone except Yu Xiaogang and Yu Yan in the hall began to shiver.
Yu Xiaogang was stunned after seeing a women's illusion behind Little Yan. It looked similar to Yu Yan except, her hair and eyes were light blue, and she had a pattern on her forehead. He hurriedly spoke, " Little Yan, quickly withdraw your martial spirit. " She nodded and with a single thought took her martial spirit back.
Yu Xiaogang told everyone, including Sun Tao, to step out of the shelter.
" A Variant Heavenly Snow Woman. " Yu Xiaogang muttered to himself in shock. There were many thoughts in his mind, which he needed to verify afterward. He picked up the blue crystal ball and told Little Yan to place her hand on it. Yu Yan obediently placed her hand on the crystal.
The moment she placed her hand on the blue crystal, it started attracting the spirit energy from her body and began to shine. The pearl became more and more bright, and it started giving off a blue flare before cracks appeared all over the blue crystal, and it shattered.
" ... " Yu Yan got nervous and blankly stared at the shattered, blue crystal ball and stared back at her father, with the hope that he would explain the situation to her.

Yu Xiaogang also stared at the shattered blue sphere and tried to remember. This was the first time he saw such a scene, and as he prepared to console his daughter, Yu Xiaogang remembered a legend. He had heard that there are some people born with spirit-power of rank 20. They are called freaks and get very strong in the future, but none of them have a good ending.
Yu Xiaogang complicatedly looked at his daughter before regaining his composure and spoke with a smile, " Yan'er, you are a genius even among the other geniuses. " Yu Yan smiled happily after hearing him and jumped forward to hug him. He rubbed her head lovingly and continued, " Don't tell anyone what happened here, okay? "
Sun Tao had already restored most of his spirit energy and was impatiently waiting for them to come out. He saw them coming out of the shelter after a few moments.
Sun Tao hurriedly asked, " Mister, what is her martial spirit and spirit-power? " It was natural for him to be impatient because of the commotion caused by Yu Yan's martial spirit awakening.
Yu Xiaogang responded in a plain voice, " An ice variation spirit and " Innate Full Spirit Power. " " Sun Tao was stupified because he couldn't detect any emotions while Yu Xiaogang spoke, but it did not decrease the joy in his heart.
" Ah! The ceremony has finished. Xiaogang, did any of the children got the qualifications to become a spirit-master? " before anyone could speak, Old Jack's voice came from behind. Everyone turned around and saw Old Jack coming with two people behind him, holding a lot of food and some medicine for Sun Tao.
Old Jack asked Sun Tao, " Esteemed Sir, I have brought food and medicine for you. " Sun Tao politely rejected him, and Old jack didn't seem to mind it.
Sun Tao told him, " Senior, there are two children from your village with powerful martial spirit and possess " Innate Full Spirit Power, " I want to invite both of them to study in Spirit Hall academy. " Old Jack was shocked and paused his movements. He pointed at Di Chun and Yu Yan.
" Cough! "
As the excited Old Jack was going to agree, Yu Xiaogang coughed lightly, gaining the attention of the two, and said, " Old Jack, it is better to ask Di Chun's parents first. " he stopped for a moment before continuing politely because Old Jack had taken care of him in the past, " As for Little Yan, I won't allow her to go to the Spirit Hall. "
Yu Xiaogang turned around and looked at Di Chun and said, " Little Chun, It is your decision. If you want to study further with me, you can come to my house tomorrow morning. I will leave the village tomorrow. "
He gestured Yu Yan to follow him and started walking away. Sun Tao, who was immersed in happiness, suddenly felt like cold water being poured over him. He got angry and stepped forward to stop Yu Xiaogang.
Sun Tao released his martial spirit, and a white sword appeared in his hand, but before he could use his spirit skill, his face paled, and he felt tremendous pressure all over his body and fell on the ground.
He looked up and saw Yu Xiaogang was staring at him indifferently, and Sun tao felt like he was being stared at by a black dragon. Sun Tao felt if he even moved an inch of his body, he would die.
" Ahh! "
Sun Tao screamed as blood dripped from his mouth when Yu Xiaogang released all of his spirit energy. He spoke in a very calm manner, " Sun Tao, there will be no " Next Time." " This caused everyone except the children present to feel a chill and their backs soaked in sweat.
Yu Xiaogang turned around and walked back with Yu Yan.
