The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 2228 - 2217: Perfect Talent

Zhao Feiyu, unable to accept this reality.

He immediately pressed the second stone brick on the left side of the stone wall beside him.

Suppressing the gloom in his heart, he said, "A thirty-year-old Peak Second Heavenly God Realm expert? Stop kidding, he must have boosted his strength through some crooked, evil means. He only appears to have reached the Peak Second Heavenly God Realm, but his actual combat prowess is far below that realm, and his level must be extremely shallow."

The other young members of the Nine Nether Ice Lion lineage in the room recovered their senses. Upon hearing Zhao Feiyu’s words, they too found it reasonable. Ye Chenfeng only appears to have the aura of a Peak Second Heavenly God Realm expert. How could there truly be a thirty-year-old Peak Second Heavenly God Realm expert in this world?

Meanwhile, Ye Chenfeng on the vast snowy plain.

He was bewildered by this sudden scene. The blue light shrouding him quickly vanished. As he was about to continue forward, a white energy barrier appeared before him, almost spanning the entire snowy field, which he must pass through to proceed.

Ye Chenfeng placed his palm against the energy barrier. Remarkably, this white energy barrier had elasticity, much like a special membrane. Now he somewhat understood; it seemed this Nine Nether Ice Lion lineage was deliberately probing his depths.

Bai Xiaorou could throw herself into danger for him. Naturally, Ye Chenfeng must respond well. He wanted the entire Nine Nether Ice Lion lineage to know Bai Xiaorou’s judgment wasn’t poor.

After retracting his palm, Ye Chenfeng’s aura of a Peak Second Heavenly God Realm expert surged rapidly. He unleashed his power to its full potential, violently charging towards the energy barrier ahead.

A sharp "Whoa!"

Ye Chenfeng unexpectedly passed through the white energy barrier instantly, arriving on the other side.

And at this moment.

In the grand hall, seeing this scene, Zhao Shenghong, Zhao Jinpeng, and Zhao Wenyu were once again taken aback. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

It was known that this white energy barrier was specifically used to test the stability of a cultivator’s realm.

If one’s realm wasn’t stable, upon striking the energy barrier, their body would be directly bounced away.

Even for those with a stable realm, when they strike the energy barrier, at best, they can avoid being bounced off.

Only those whose realm is as solid as a rock, unbreakable, can pass through the energy barrier instantly upon striking it.

Ye Chenfeng could pass through the energy barrier instantly, meaning not only was his Peak Second Heavenly God Realm realm stable, he was stronger than those who’ve reached Peak Second Heavenly God Realm for decades or even hundreds of years!

This left Zhao Shenghong, Zhao Jinpeng, and Zhao Wenyu in disbelief. Achieving such an unyielding realm proved Ye Chenfeng hadn’t relied on roundabout methods to enhance his power; his body had no trace of side effects. In other words, Ye Chenfeng was a genuine thirty-year-old Peak Second Heavenly God Realm expert.

Zhao Wenyu laughed, "Interesting, truly interesting. A thirty-year-old Peak Second Heavenly God Realm expert, he’s qualified to be my son-in-law. Our Nine Nether Ice Lion lineage has been in decline for a while; we need a powerful clan leader to lead us to resurgence. Given sufficient time, this young man might lead our Nine Nether Ice Lion to glory."

Zhao Shenghong had felt indebted to Ye Chenfeng before. Coming to his senses, he was naturally quite excited, saying, "Indeed, I’ve always said this young man matches well with our Lion King lineage’s girl. Many are focused on him now; once they see his performance, they’ll probably all shut their mouths."

Zhao Jinpeng, who never favored Ye Chenfeng, also sighed repeatedly. He said, "Zhao Shenghong, seems your old eyes are still sharp. This young man truly is remarkable. Let’s continue watching his talent demonstration!"

As for the room where the younger generation was.

When everyone present saw Ye Chenfeng pass through the white energy barrier instantly, their hearts were indescribably shocked. Generally, people can only achieve a stable level, aiming for a rock-solid level is nearly impossible, unless one intentionally avoids breaking through, constantly honing and accumulating, to eventually achieve rock-solid stability.

Who usually pursues rock-solid stability? Just reaching a stable level is enough. Even Zhao Feiyu, Zhao Chengming, and Zhao Huaqing, when they were at Peak Second Heavenly God Realm, couldn’t pass through the energy barrier instantly, merely avoiding being bounced away.

Zhao Feiyu could no longer stay calm; the gloom inside him gradually appeared on his face. Ye Chenfeng’s performance repeatedly exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Zhao Chengming and Zhao Huaqing were quite satisfied with Ye Chenfeng. A genuine thirty-year-old Peak Second Heavenly God Realm expert couldn’t be found even in the Initial Stage of the Ancient Era. What could possibly make him unworthy of Bai Xiaorou?

Zhao Chengming and Zhao Huaqing wanted to see Ye Chenfeng’s subsequent performance. Seeing Zhao Feiyu inactive, they helped him press the third stone brick on the left, their eyes glued to the image in the giant crystal.

In the image, after passing through the energy barrier, a set of huge gongs appeared to the left of Ye Chenfeng’s body.

Extending continuously from Ye Chenfeng’s left, a total of ten enormous gongs appeared, and the snow layer on the ground in front of Ye Chenfeng vanished, replaced by footprints, each matching a gong.

This was designed to test a cultivator’s talent.

Cultivators must step into the footprints on the ground to move forward; with each footprint stepped on, the matching enormous gong would ring.

The greater one’s talent, the more gongs would ring. If one can’t move forward any longer, it signifies one’s talent has reached its limit.

Seeing Zhao Chengming begin the talent test, Zhao Feiyu calmed down. He had rung seven gongs back then, even attracting attention from the clan leader and ancestors! Zhao Chengming and Zhao Huaqing only rang six.

In Zhao Feiyu’s view, given how Ye Chenfeng reached Peak Second Heavenly God Realm so young, talent might not account for much. Even with exceptional talent, one couldn’t reach Peak Second Heavenly God Realm at thirty typically, surely Ye Chenfeng had some massive advantage. As long as Ye Chenfeng was less talented than him, he still hoped to prevent anything between Ye Chenfeng and Bai Xiaorou.

At this moment.

Ye Chenfeng observed the new change before him and cautiously stepped forward, trying to step outside the footprint, yet an immediate force prevented him from moving. It seemed only by stepping into the footprints could he proceed.

After understanding initially.

Ye Chenfeng exhaled slowly, directly stepping into the first footprint.

Feeling incredibly light.

Accompanying stepping into the first footprint, with a "Dong!" sound, the first enormous gong was struck.

But he felt nothing.

Consequently, Ye Chenfeng stepped immediately into the second footprint, third footprint, fourth footprint, fifth footprint, sixth footprint, seventh footprint, eighth footprint, ninth footprint, and tenth footprint.

With each footprint stepped into, a series of "Dong Dong Dong——" gong sounds resonated.

Ye Chenfeng felt no resistance whatsoever, breezing over these ten footprints with surprising ease, taking only a few seconds altogether, leaving him puzzled at how simple this test was.

If the Nine Nether Ice Lion lineage knew Ye Chenfeng’s thoughts, they’d likely die of anger. A person’s talent ringing all ten gongs occurred only in the Nine Nether Ice Lion lineage during the Ancient Era, and talents ringing all ten gongs were deemed as perfect talent, esteemed within the Nine Nether Ice Lion lineage.

Even the current clan leader and ancestors rang only eight gongs. Going higher becomes increasingly difficult, not as effortless as Ye Chenfeng found it, almost like drinking water.
