Unfortunately, the post was quickly drowned out.

No one believed him, and the only two replies were from two students from the third high school. They were upset about the defeat of Qiao Xingwen, the seed player. Seeing this post, they didn’t care whether it was true or not, they just vented their anger.

Chen Mobai didn’t bother to argue with them. At this time, Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling also arrived.

“Most of those who advanced have arrived. Those who haven’t come probably failed and are too embarrassed to show up.”

Mo Simin counted the number of people and found that six were missing.

She sat next to Chen Mobai and quietly shared her judgment.

“Since everyone is here, let’s start eating.”

Chen Mobai was a bit hungry. Seeing the table full of dishes, he couldn’t help but pick up his chopsticks.

“But what about Yan Bingxuan? Her match is the last one.”

“Wasn’t she given a bye, so she doesn’t have to fight?”

“It seems that the representative from the Natural Learning Palace added her name, saying that it’s a rare opportunity to practice fighting and shouldn’t be missed.”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai could only marvel.

Before long, Yan Bingxuan arrived.

She brought two unfamiliar faces. One was always squinting and smiling at everyone, seeming very cheerful.

The other was a gloomy woman dressed in black long-sleeved shirt and pants, showing her slender limbs and curvy figure. She also wore a large round hat, hiding half of her face in the shadow.

Just looking at her gave off an eerie feeling, making people want to keep their distance.

“Who are these two?”

Before Chen Mobai could ask, Mo Simin pulled Yan Bingxuan to her side and casually asked.

“The one who’s always smiling is Kong Feichen, and the one who’s always frowning is Yang Jing.”

After Yan Bingxuan finished speaking, not only Mo Simin, but also the other students who were about to eat, all turned their heads to look at the two.

Even Chan Si, was slightly surprised and looked at the two who had ordered two bowls of noodles at the noodle shop at the entrance of the snack street and sat down casually.

“I feel like I’ve heard their names somewhere.”

Song Zheng murmured to himself, and Chen Mobai also frowned.

“They are the two special spiritual root holders from the second high school, Kong Feichen with the wind spiritual root, and Yang Jing with the dark spiritual root, both at the ninth level of Qi Refining.”

“They, along with Gong Xiangyu from the first high school and Yan Feng from the private Jade Heng High School, are the only four at the ninth level of Qi Refining in our grade.”

“Because they have special spiritual roots, they were admitted to the Natural Learning Palace when they were in their first year of high school. But given the opportunity to enter the Four Taoist Academies, they certainly wouldn’t miss it. Moreover, special spiritual roots can double the effectiveness when practicing compatible spells, which might be even more terrifying than Gong Xiangyu and Yan Feng.”

Shi Jingjing, who was well-informed, immediately found out all the details about these two.

“So they are special spiritual root holders, no wonder.”

Chen Mobai showed a look of realization.

In the Immortal Gate, more than half of the special spiritual root holders choose to study at the Natural Learning Palace.

Yan Bingxuan is already an ice spiritual root holder. If it weren’t for the fighting test for admission, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing might have joined the Natural Learning Palace with her.

“Recently, they have been studying with me under my great-aunt.”

Yan Bingxuan said while eating.

The one who came from the Natural Learning Palace this time was her great-aunt, who was at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. It seemed that she planned to resolve all her worldly concerns before reaching the Golden Core stage, so she personally took Yan Bingxuan as her disciple.

Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, as rare special spiritual root holders, were also wanted by the Natural Learning Palace. After Yan Qiongzhi arrived in Danxia City, she simply called them over and taught them along with Yan Bingxuan.

If it weren’t for the opportunity to enter the Four Taoist Academies through this fight, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, who were treated so well, would have agreed to join the Natural Learning Palace long ago.

“Let them come and eat with us.”

Chan Si ordered two big tables of food, and it would be a waste if they couldn’t finish it. So she let Yan Bingxuan call Kong Feichen and Yang Jing to eat together.

As a result, the former immediately put down his noodles and sat down to eat the feast with a smile.

But Yang Jing shook her head in refusal.

“Don’t mind her, she likes to be alone. The more people there are, the more uncomfortable she feels.”

As someone who also came from the second high school, Kong Feichen was very familiar with Yang Jing. Seeing that Chan Si was going to personally invite her, he immediately stood up to stop her.

“What kind of special spiritual root is the dark spiritual root?”

Although Chen Mobai knew that there was such a type among the special spiritual roots, this kind of spiritual root was said to be rare in a hundred years, and those who achieved something were extremely rare.

The highest realm was just a Golden Core Taoist master.

“It seems to be for cultivating Yin spirit power. In ancient times, such spiritual roots were considered supreme talents sought after by the evil path.”

Shi Jingjing leaned over and answered his question.

The evil path had been extinct for five thousand years, completely wiped out by the Immortal Gate’s righteous law.

Chen Mobai muttered in his heart and gave up on probing Yang Jing.

From the beginning, when he saw these two people who came with Yan Bingxuan, he instinctively felt their strength.

It’s no wonder they are special spiritual root holders and at the ninth level of Qi Refining. If he were to face them, he should be able to put up a fight.

He originally thought that this fight would be boring.

Especially after easily defeating Qiao Xingwen, who was hyped up by Xu Yuan and others but turned out to be a pushover.

But after seeing Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, Chen Mobai felt that he might not be able to breeze through this fight.

After all, he was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, facing opponents two levels higher.

He needed to carefully plan his tactics.

During the meal, Chen Mobai was thinking about how to deal with Kong Feichen and Yang Jing if he encountered them.

Kong Feichen was fine, the wind spiritual root was the most common among the special spiritual roots, and there were many references.

But for the dark spiritual root, even the auxiliary cultivation software didn’t have any posts about it.”Brother Chen, I’ve long admired your reputation.”

Just as Chen Mobai was contemplating how to defeat them, Kong Feichen came over with a smile, greeting him.

“Do we know each other?”

“We didn’t before, but I’ve seen the video of you defeating your opponent cleanly and efficiently. To be honest, even if I were to go up, I could do no more than that.”

Kong Feichen’s words were full of confidence. Chen Mobai looked him up and down, then nodded slightly.

“Yes, you could also defeat Qiao Xingwen within a minute.”

Upon hearing this, Kong Feichen was taken aback, the smile that had been on his face disappeared.

“Brother Chen, I hope you won’t be defeated before you encounter me.”

In the end, Kong Feichen extended his right hand to Chen Mobai, saying these words with a sincere face.

Under the gaze of more than twenty students from the fifth high school, Chen Mobai also extended his hand, nodded in agreement, and replied.

“Yes, I’ll wait for you in the finals.”
