Chapter 187 A Battle of Wits: Steward Xu Endures the Great Wind Song

Deacon Xu's impatient demeanor made the several servants who hadn't yet taken the exam exchange bewildered glances.

Some of the menial workers were even at a loss.

When they heard that Deacon Xu had chosen Su Yang instead of them, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yang was taken aback for a moment, but didn't think anything of it and stepped forward calmly.

Deacon Xu glanced at Su Yang casually and noticed that Su Yang's aura was only about the fourth level of Qi Refining, and it seemed that he had just broken through, so he didn't have much hope.

He didn't say anything more, and with a wave of his hand, a firebird appeared, rushing straight towards Su Yang.

This attack, though not delivered with the full power of a sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator, was still not something an ordinary fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator could withstand.

In Deacon Xu's opinion, dealing with Su Yang was more than enough; Su Yang was unlikely to withstand his attack.

The firebird, carrying a scorching heat wave, swooped straight towards Su Yang's face at great speed.

If it were an ordinary servant at the fourth level of Qi Refining, they would probably only be able to react in time, and even if they could block it, they would still be defeated.

But for Su Yang, such magic was nothing special.

With his current physical strength, he didn't even need to block it. The firebird's attack on him would at most leave a red mark, but it wouldn't hurt him at all.

However, he wanted to project the image of a magical genius at the fourth level of Qi Refining, so he naturally wouldn't reveal his true strength.

With a flick of his hand, Su Yang conjured a thick earthen wall that rose in front of him, blocking the firebird.

The bird crashed into the thick earthen wall, instantly shattering it.

However, Su Yang had already erected the second and third thick earthen walls.

The bird smashed through the second thick earthen wall, and finally smashed a large crater into the third thick earthen wall before disappearing without a trace.

Deacon Xu paused, a look of surprise on his face.

He didn't expect Su Yang to be able to use three Earth Walls in such a short time, which is rare among cultivators at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

A hint of interest flashed in Deacon Xu's eyes:

"No wonder you dared to participate in the assessment at the fourth level of Qi Refining. It seems you are quite confident in your magical talent. Well then, I'll give you a try."

The words fell.

Deacon Xu's expression turned serious, and he unleashed two spells in succession.

One was still the same firebird, but the other was a towering wave of water.

Water and fire combined, attacking Su Yang from two directions.

This time, the firebird was much larger, and the heat wave made the surrounding servants retreat. Not to mention the water waves, which swept down from the sky.

Su Yang also showed a serious expression.

First, he used the Feather Transformation Lightness Technique to dodge a wave of water, and then several vines sprouted out and blocked his way.

The vine technique was originally a spell used to bind and whip people, but Su Yang used it as a vine wall to defend against Deacon Xu's spells.

This poem made Deacon Xu's eyes light up, and he nodded in admiration:

"This child's magical talent is indeed remarkable; the spells he uses are already masterful."

Su Yang was unaware of Deacon Xu's thoughts. He appeared solemn, but was actually quite relaxed.

He freely manipulated his magic, combining several spells and using them in turn, not only blocking the towering waves but also extinguishing the firebirds.

Just as Steward Xu was about to say something...

Su Yang immediately switched from defense to offense, unleashing a series of spells including Blazing Fire, Sharp Metal Spike, and Frostfire.

They watched as the spell came towards them.

Instead of being angry, Deacon Xu laughed:

"That's interesting."

He extended his hand forward, and spiritual light condensed in his palm, then transformed into a blue spiritual light shield.

Su Yang's spells struck the aura shield and were annihilated one by one. However, the aura shield was not completely unharmed; it trembled slightly.

Deacon Xu's expression of admiration deepened:

"Its power is also stronger. Your magical talent is among the best of the geniuses I've ever seen."

"I should have let you pass the test directly at this point, but I can't let you lose like this."

"Take one more of my moves. If you are still unharmed, I will stop."

Su Yang remained silent, only staring at him warily.

Upon seeing this, Deacon Xu's lips curled up, and with a wave of his hand, a gust of wind instantly filled the training ground.

And the eye of the storm is where Su Yang is located.

Many outer disciples in the arena recognized this spell.

"It's the Song of the Great Wind! Deacon Xu actually used the Song of the Great Wind. This spell is known as one of the most powerful spells in the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Those who are taking the test are going to have a tough time."

"What a pity. With that person's magical talent, he should have had no problem passing the test normally. But Deacon Xu used the Great Wind Song. It seems that he will not be able to be promoted to outer disciple this time."

"That's not necessarily true. I think Deacon Xu admires him quite a bit. Even if he loses, Deacon Xu will probably still let him pass the test. After all, the combat test never requires the examinee to win; as long as they can demonstrate combat talent that the deacon approves of, that's enough."

Su Yang paid no attention to the discussions of the crowd; he was now also feeling a sense of pressure.

After all, he could only use the spiritual power of the fourth level of Qi Refining, so dealing with Da Fengge would be quite difficult for him.

But he showed no sign of giving up.

As the strong winds gathered, Su Yang was already frantically unleashing his magic.

Thick earth wall, vine technique, golden shield technique.

Three defensive spells took turns blocking his way.

It's not just one layer.

He was enveloped by three layers of defensive spells, like a giant earthen ball.

Just then, a fierce wind howled, and the Song of the Great Wind was fully formed.

A massive tornado swept towards the earthen ball.

The tornado slammed into the clay ball.

The clay ball broke apart, revealing a ball made of vines inside.

The ball of vines was scraped to pieces.

Then the golden iron shield inside was revealed.

The golden shield shattered, and one layer of defense was completely scraped away.

The tornado swept away everything in its path.

However, it only shattered two layers of defense.

When they reached the last level, they barely managed to break the clay ball, but were blocked outside by the wooden ball.

However, even if the tornado could shatter the third layer of defense, it wouldn't matter.

Su Yang was now sitting cross-legged on the ground, forming another defensive barrier.

Upon seeing this, Deacon Xu lowered his hand, a look of disbelief on his face.

"They even managed to block the Great Wind Song. Although they used a clever method, it's still quite remarkable."

"Alright, stop the spell. You've passed the test."

At this moment, the look in Deacon Xu's eyes towards Su Yang no longer held the impatience he had shown at the beginning; it was now filled with only admiration.

Su Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then feigned that his spiritual energy was almost exhausted and he could barely continue. He stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Deacon."

to be frank.

With his spiritual power at the fourth level of Qi Refining, he could only set up one more layer of defense at most; anything more would be abnormal.

Deacon Xu clearly did not use his full strength at the sixth level of Qi Refining; he merely activated the Great Wind Song spell.

After all, with his strength, it would be truly bullying to unleash the full power of the Great Wind Song.

Su Yang had heard of the Great Wind Song's reputation before and remarked:

"As expected of one of the most powerful first-tier spells, it's even comparable to some weaker mid-tier spells."
