Bound to the Multiverse Restaurant, I'm now the darling of my staff.

The spiritual root test proceeded in an orderly manner. The disciples who had finished their tests stood below the stage, waiting for the sect selection process to follow, and also watching the other disciples take their tests.

Suddenly, a dazzling aquamarine light emanated from the testing platform, causing everyone who saw it to show expressions of surprise.

"This light... is brighter than the light from the people who were tested before."

"This means that the person who took the test is also very talented, and has a single spiritual root."

On the high platform, the sect elders who saw the light all stood up.

"This is... a top-grade water elemental root! Who is it? How could someone have such high talent?"

Xuan Zhongzi, the sect master of Qingyun Sword Sect, glanced at the people below the stage and said, "It is Lin Wanrou, the eldest daughter of the Lin family. This child is not only highly talented, but also has a good cultivation level. She has already reached the Golden Core stage."

Although the Golden Core stage is not as valuable as in previous years...

The other sect elders were envious of Lin Wanrou. It had been many years since they had produced a disciple with such high talent, and they were determined to have her join their sects.

Offstage, Lin Wanrou, enjoying the attention from all sides, wore a faint smile, but inwardly felt a surge of pride.

That's it, she is the true heroine of this world, and all the attention should belong to her.

The frustration I've felt over this period of time, stemming from my encounter with that woman named Wen Nuan, has finally subsided at this moment.

The other disciples below were looking at her with envy and whispering among themselves.

"As expected of the Fairy of Lingxiao, not only is her appearance the best in the cultivation world, but her talent is also the best in the cultivation world."

"After today, I'm afraid the number of admirers of Fairy Lingxiao will increase dramatically again."

"Look at those elders on the stage, their eyes are shining as they look at Fairy Lingxiao. When the sects are decided later, Fairy Lingxiao will definitely be fiercely contested by the nine major sects!"

Some people also commented on Lin Wanrou's appearance.

"But I think the woman behind Fairy Lingxiao is more beautiful."

The person who had just praised Lin Wan's beauty turned his gaze to Wen Nuan, scrutinized her for a few seconds, and found that this woman was indeed much more beautiful than Fairy Lingxiao.

But he refused to admit it, stubbornly saying, "So what? Can this woman's talent compare to that of the Fairy of the Heavenly Firmament?"

After saying that, he even put on a righteous expression.

"We cultivators should not pay too much attention to appearances; we should prioritize spiritual practice."

These words made the monk who said warmth was more beautiful blush with embarrassment, and he deeply reflected on his own actions.

Soon, Lin Wanrou came down, and it was Wen Nuan and Chu Ze's turn.

As someone walked past her, Warmth heard a voice beside her.

"I'm waiting to see your talent."

Looking at Lin Wanrou's smug face, Wen Nuan gave a fake laugh.

"Hehe, then Miss Lin had better open her eyes wide and take a good look."

Wen Nuan has always been known as the queen of stubbornness. After Lin Wanrou left, she looked at the steps in front of her and nervously swallowed.

Are you still going to go on or not?

Chu Ze crossed his arms and looked at her, seemingly noticing her nervousness, and kindly suggested, "Why don't I go first?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Nuan immediately took a step back. "Please, please. How can His Majesty be seated behind me?"

Too lazy to pay attention to her, Chu Ze walked around her and onto the stage, decisively raising his hand to present the huge spirit-testing stone.

Just then, the spirit-testing stone suddenly burst out with a dazzling red light, which was much more eye-catching than the previous light that was light blue.

Everyone stared wide-eyed until the red light disappeared.

"Another top-grade spiritual root? No way?"

"This color... it must be a fire elemental root, right? And it's a top-grade one at that."

"Two top-grade spiritual roots have appeared in succession? That's truly a rare sight!"

The elders from various sects who had just sat down on the high platform immediately stood up again, their spirits high.

"This year, two disciples with top-grade spiritual roots have actually emerged! That's wonderful!"

"This child looks unfamiliar; I wonder whose child he is?"

"Compared to water elemental roots, fire elemental roots are more aggressive, which is very suitable for my Incense Valley."

"Heh, you wish! Do you think my Purgatory Sect is unsuitable? When it comes to playing with fire, our Purgatory Sect is no less capable than your Incense Valley."

As soon as the test results came out, the elders of various sects rushed to get their hands on them.

Finally, Xuan Zhongzi stepped forward and said, "Elders, don't be impatient, this isn't over yet. There might be more disciples with such high talent later on."

These words made the elders who heard them shake their heads inwardly.

The cultivation world has now entered the Dharma-ending Age, and the number of disciples with high talent is decreasing year by year. The fact that two disciples have emerged this year is already beyond their expectations.

Could it be that a third disciple with a top-grade spiritual root will emerge?

Absolutely impossible!

Lin Wanrou, sitting in the audience, looked at Chu Ze with a somewhat stiff expression.

Although she also possesses a top-grade spiritual root, compared to a fire spiritual root, her water spiritual root has a lower upper limit, making her seem slightly inferior in comparison.

But she was also somewhat relieved that the person who discovered this top-grade spiritual root wasn't that woman, Wen Nuan; otherwise, she probably would have been furious.

Although this man named Chu Ze seems to be in cahoots with that woman, well, all men are like that.

With just a little trickery, given her looks and skills, winning over a man would be a piece of cake.

She'll see how smug that woman can be then!

Thinking this, Lin Wanrou's face broke into a smug smile, and her gaze towards Chu Ze was full of satisfaction, as if he were already hers.

His gaze fell on warmth, then instantly turned to disdain.

I thought this woman was so powerful, but it turns out she just relies on men too, she's the same kind of person as me.

However, she also has the system's assistance, something that Wen Nuan can't match.

When the time comes, she will bring all the men around this woman over. Only a woman of destiny like herself is worthy of those outstanding men!

Knowing his own attributes, Chu Ze finally felt relieved, as if the mountain weighing on him had suddenly become much lighter.

As he walked down from the stage, Wen Nuan, who was standing below, saw him and immediately started clapping.

"Chu Ze, that's great! I knew your talent would be amazing!"

The girl had a bright smile on her face, like a spring flower in full bloom, breathtakingly beautiful. Everyone around her was attracted by her beauty and couldn't help but steal glances at her.

Seeing the warmth of genuine happiness for him, Chu Ze felt a strange sensation welling up inside him.

He unconsciously reached out and touched her head, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Don't be nervous, you can do it too."

He paused, then added, "At worst, I'll protect you from now on!"

This was the first time Wen Nuan had ever seen this man smile. His cold and stern face softened considerably because of this smile, which made her pause for a moment.

"So you can smile? That's great! You look so handsome when you smile!"

Chu Ze's lips immediately froze. He coughed twice to cover it up and gave her a push.

"Hurry up and go, there are people waiting behind you."

Stumbling from the push, Wen Nuan turned her head and saw the familiar red on the man's ear. She lowered her head, chuckled, and quickly went up to him.

While sitting in the audience, Wen Nuan suddenly remembered that she seemed to have won something yesterday with the golden raffle ticket she had received earlier.

But she was too tired yesterday and fell asleep before she could look at it closely. However, judging from the name of that thing, it seems to be...

While thinking, Wen Nuan walked up to the stage and stood in front of the testing spirit stone.

She didn't know what to do, so she could only imitate what others did and tentatively place her palm on it.

In an instant, a blinding cyan-green light burst forth from the entire spirit platform centered on the testing spirit stone, and rapidly spread outwards.

In an instant, the entire sky was dyed green, and many people had to close their eyes to block out the blinding green light.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, one can vaguely see the shadow of a tiny sapling at the center of that bluish-green light.

The sect elders, who had finally managed to sit down, sprang up like springs, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"This, this is..."
