Reversing the Milky Way

So, Bai Cheng asked Yang Zhi, who was standing next to him, with a suspicious look.

"Brother Yang, what level is your Spirit Guiding skill? Why have I never heard of it before?"

"Bai Cheng, you don't know this, but the so-called Spirit Induction is actually the name for the stage from the Great Perfection of Body Refinement Realm to Qi Condensation Realm. It is also called the Spirit Induction Stage. There are ten levels in this stage, and the completion of the tenth level is the mark of officially stepping into the Qi Condensation Realm. Because some people with mediocre talent need to go through several years or even longer in this stage, some cultivation forces have specially given this stage a name called the Spirit Induction Stage."

"So that's how it is. No wonder I haven't seen it in the classification of realms."

As people stepped forward to take the test, Hongyun's voice could be heard from time to time.

"Earth and Wood attributes, dual spiritual power constitution, next; Fire and Metal attributes, next... Water attribute, single constitution... next..."

It wasn't until it was the turn of the three members of the Si Nan family that Elder Hongyun's voice became excited.

"Si Nanxuan possesses a spiritual constitution with the three attributes of metal, wood, and water, and is at the second level of Spirit Attraction."

Upon hearing this, the people present began to discuss it heatedly. At this moment, Hongyun's voice rang out again.

"Si Nan Anran, with a three-attribute spiritual power constitution (fire, earth, and wood), and a third-level Spirit Attraction level."

After speaking, Hongyun nodded in satisfaction. Next, Si Nanchen stepped forward to test it. As he placed his hand on the stone tablet, red patterns quickly appeared on its surface. Soon, the red patterns extended upwards, turning into gold, then blue, and then green.

Then Hong Yun excitedly said, "Si Nanchen, with the four elements of water, metal, fire, and wood, possesses a spiritual energy physique and has reached the fourth level of Spirit Attraction."

These words drew gasps of surprise from many onlookers.

"As expected of the Si Nan family, their talent is almost at the level of a complete physique."

"Yes, truly a prodigy,"

The five elders exchanged glances and nodded.

Lu Xuzi: "Indeed, it seems this young man's future achievements will likely rival ours."

Si Nanyue: "Hehe, having a cultivation physique with four attributes means that you will definitely be able to open your soul meridians and reach the late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm in the future. Not bad, not bad."

Si Nanyue nodded repeatedly to show his approval of Si Nanchen.

However, Chu Xiaohe, who was observing from the side, remained unmoved. His expression did not change even after seeing Si Nanchen's talent.

Si Nanchen also looked somewhat annoyed at this moment.

'Damn it, it's not a complete spiritual power attribute physique. Oh well, I'll see if I can find a secret method to complete it later.'

Thinking of this, Si Nanchen looked at Bai Cheng and saw that Bai Cheng was indifferent and did not seem to care about his talent, which made him very unhappy.

Soon, more people began to take the test, and then two more girls stepped forward.

"The Sun family: Sun Huilin, dual-attribute spiritual power physique of water and wood, level two of Spirit Attraction; Sun Lingyan, tri-attribute spiritual power physique of fire, wood, and earth, level two of Spirit Attraction; Jia Yue, single-attribute spiritual power physique of wood, level one of Spirit Attraction; Jia Guan, single-attribute wood..."

As more and more people took the test, it was soon Bai Cheng's team's turn.

Yang Jinxuan stepped onto the stage to begin the test. As she placed her hand on the stone tablet, five colors of spiritual energy rapidly filled it. A collective gasp of amazement rippled through the crowd.

"What? This is actually a complete spiritual energy physique attribute!"

Hong Yun stared at the stone tablet in surprise. At this moment, the other four elders also exclaimed in amazement. Chu Xiaohe also showed a joyful expression. He stroked his slightly graying beard and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Not bad, not bad. Finally, we have a student who is worthy of our attention."

However, just as everyone was in shock, the color of the Spirit Path Boundary Stele changed again. The five colors of the stele, which had been intersecting, changed once more. The five colors slowly merged together and emitted bursts of cold mist. Then, to everyone's astonishment, the entire stele began to become more and more transparent and began to form transparent frost, looking like a giant ice pillar from a distance.

At the same time, a chilling coldness relentlessly swept over everyone's senses. Then, the words "Level 5 Spirit Guiding" slowly appeared on the stone tablet, which resembled an icicle.

Hong Yun's eyes widened, and he said excitedly, "My God! This is actually an ice-attribute physique, which is rare. Moreover, this girl has already cultivated to the fifth level of Spirit Guiding. If I'm not mistaken, she will definitely become a powerful expert who reaches the Tonghai Realm in the future."

As Yang Jinxuan removed her hand from the stone tablet, the tablet's color slowly returned to normal, and the ice crystals on it quickly disappeared.

Chu Xiaohe approached Yang Jinxuan with an excited expression.

"As expected of a descendant of the Crimson King, I wonder what he would think if he knew that a genius with a rare cultivation physique had appeared in your family. This is truly a blessing for your Yang family!"

After hearing this, Yang Jinxuan showed no smugness, but remained calm and composed.

"Thank you for your kind words, Dean Chu. Although I am exceptionally talented, I have never slackened in my cultivation. I always keep my mother's teachings in mind and have never forgotten them."

Chu Xiaohe: "Good, as expected of the daughter of the royal family, you have such talent. Today you will be promoted directly to a formal student."

These words immediately provoked a strong reaction from those around them; some questioned them, while others were astonished.

Yang Zhi patted Bai Cheng on the shoulder with a face full of excitement.

"See that? This is my sister! Haha! My Yang family can finally rise again."

Feeling the pressure on his shoulder, Bai Cheng was somewhat puzzled. He didn't care about other people's aptitude, but after seeing the expressions of the others, he felt a little smug.

"I do have a special cultivation physique, after all. The test later will surely shock you all."

As Bai Cheng thought this, he felt somewhat excited.

Soon, it was Yang Zhi's turn to be tested. He also had four types of spiritual energy physiques. Although he was not as talented as his sister, he was still one of the best among his peers.

Finally, it was Bai Cheng's turn to take the test, and his figure attracted everyone's attention because he was the first person to reach the top of the ladder in the ladder-climbing trial.

Bai Cheng stared at the dark stone tablet, a strange emotion welling up inside him—excitement, fear, and most of all, curiosity. As Elder Hongyun's voice rang in his ears, Bai Cheng gathered spiritual energy in his hand and placed it on the Spirit Dao Boundary Tablet.

At this moment, thunder rumbled in the dark clouds, and drizzle, accompanied by a gentle breeze, rolled down onto Bai Cheng's arm. Upon seeing this, Elder Mo Rui immediately took to the air. As he formed hand seals, a huge semi-circular barrier unfolded above everyone, and rainwater slid down the edges of the barrier, a scene that drew gasps of amazement from all present.

"As expected of Elder Mo Rui, who is proficient in formations, he can create this isolation formation that is a thousand meters long with ease."

"My God, when did we have such methods?"

Amidst the commotion, Elder Mo Rui smiled slightly.

"Haha, everyone, my formation may seem grand, but it's really just for keeping out some rain. I don't deserve such praise."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was drawn to Bai Cheng, who was having his physique tested.

At this moment, Bai Cheng stood solemnly in front of the stone tablet, which had long been dyed gold and was flashing rhythmically.

'What's going on?! Aren't people with rare constitutions supposed to have all five basic elemental constitutions? But why is mine only showing one color?! Is it really because I'm not from this world that I'm different?'

At this moment, everyone also saw the stone tablet's reaction. However, after seeing that Bai Cheng's physique was only tested and only one type was detected, they all began to whisper among themselves.

Upon seeing Bai Cheng's condition, Si Nanchen loudly mocked, "Hahaha, what kind of person did I have?! Turns out, he only has a single type of spiritual energy physique and yet he's so arrogant!"

Not far from the crowd, Bai Fengze and Bai Muwan were also watching Bai Cheng's test results.

Bai Fengze: "What! What's going on?! Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. We've all witnessed Bai Cheng's cultivation speed, so why is it only listed as having one type of spiritual power attribute?

Bai Muwan: "How could this be? Could it be that we misjudged him? But at the banquet, we all witnessed Bai Cheng's talent. How could he only display one type of spiritual power?"

At this moment, Bai Tianhao, who was standing next to him, also shook his head in great disappointment.

"Sigh! What a disappointment. I thought Bai Cheng would be something special, but it turns out he's just this level. Cousin, it seems we need to let Second Uncle know about this. Otherwise, having such a person infiltrated into the Bai family is really embarrassing for the Bai family."

After saying that, he left with a swaying head, secretly mocking himself for caring so much about a good-for-nothing.

Not only the Bai family, but other powerful families in the academy who were watching the commotion also saw Bai Cheng's situation.

Lin Tianyu: "It seems that the so-called rumors are just rumors and not credible."

Shangguan Zhi: "I had heard before that Bai Cheng displayed some talent at the banquet, but now that I see it, it must have been a fluke."

On the other side of the crowd, several members of the Xue family were also observing Bai Cheng.

"Damn it, Xue Min actually lost to someone like this. This is a disgrace to the Xue family." The speaker was Xue Zhen, the eldest son of the Xue family.

“That’s right, the spot at Tianhuo Academy that we got from the Qin family was actually given to my uncle’s family. I really don’t know what Grandpa was thinking. Any one of us three is much more talented than those two guys from my uncle’s family, and yet the spot was given to that guy named Xue Min. Sister, what do you think?” The person who said this was Xue Qingmu, the third son of the Xue family.

"What do you think? Although Bai Cheng's aptitude isn't great, he's incredibly handsome. He should be a decent son-in-law." The woman who spoke was named Xue Yao, the second daughter of the Xue family. These three were the disciples of the Xue family head in Baifeng City.

At this moment, Bai Cheng's hand was still on the testing stone tablet, and in front of him was the Spirit Dao Boundary Tablet, which was flashing with golden light, and the flashing frequency seemed to be getting faster and faster.

At this moment, Elder Hongyun, who was standing to the side, also looked at the stone tablet with a puzzled expression.

"What's going on?! This has never happened before in our physical fitness tests!"

Vice Dean Chu Xiaohe also quickly arrived in front of the stone tablet. He first looked at Bai Cheng's face, and then at the shimmering stone tablet.

'Strange, I clearly sensed this child possessed a special constitution before. The White Jade Spirit Dragon is extremely sensitive to spiritual energy attributes; it shouldn't be wrong.'

Thinking of this, Chu Xiaohe slowly placed his hand on the stone tablet, and a tingling sensation instantly surged into his heart.

'Hmm? This is it, I knew it! But why is it this color?'

Just then, the thunder above grew louder and louder, and the clouds formed a vortex that stretched downwards from high above, with the eye of the vortex pointing directly at the Spirit Path Boundary Stele below.

As the vortex continued to press downwards, the lightning at its center became increasingly dense.

At this moment, everyone noticed the situation and began to discuss it.

"Seriously? What kind of weather is this?!"

"Yes, with such a thunderstorm, the rain is probably going to get even heavier."

At this moment, the five elders exchanged glances, unsure of the cause of the thunderclouds' unusual shape. Chu Xiaohe, meanwhile, gazed intently at the approaching thunderclouds.

'This is a celestial lightning phenomenon, just as I thought. But I still don't understand why this kid only has a special physique and not a basic Five Elements spiritual body. It's really strange.'

At this moment, Bai Cheng also looked at Chu Xiaohe beside him with a solemn expression.

"Dean Chu, do you think there might be something wrong with this stone tablet?"

Chu Xiaohe lowered his head and looked at Bai Cheng.

"This stone tablet has existed for hundreds of years. Although it has been damaged in the past, it has been repaired in recent years and is now absolutely accurate for testing physical constitution."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, striking the shield that Mo Rui had conjured above the group. Mo Rui immediately sensed something was amiss. After all, the power of this lightning was extraordinary, and there were so many people present. If it were to accidentally kill someone, even he couldn't bear the responsibility, since everyone who could enter the academy was a person of importance.

"Dean Chu, the weather is strange. We should arrange for our disciples to disperse first."

Chu Xiao remained unmoved by Mo Rui's words.

"Elder Mo, it must have been several years since we've seen this scene, right?"

"What does Dean Chu mean? Could this be a celestial phenomenon?"

At this moment, in the academy's cultivation technique pavilion, Gu Wanru stood by the window, gazing at the situation in the distant square.

"Miss Gu, today is the physical fitness test for the new students. Wouldn't you be interested in watching?"

The speaker was Shangguan Yu from the Shangguan family, who was at the early stage of the Opening Meridian Realm. His sons were Shangguan Zhi and Shangguan Rongze. Because they were related to the Bai family by marriage, they were arranged to work as elders in the Baigong Academy. He had been trying to arrange a marriage between his two sons and Gu Wanru, since Gu Wanru's father was Gu Xinglan.
