...Trash. Complete and utter trash. The crowd of people grew silent, and Ye BaiCai looked in complete disbelief and shock, realizing his talent wasn't able to be even called a level 1, more like a level 0.5. Even ordinary plants like a cabbage would have better cultivation results than him.
He was trash among the trashiest of trash. Even Wang XiaoTou who was know for his mental fortitude broke composure and hung his mouth and shock. In his 50 yeas of presiding over the talent test he had never seen such a bad aptitude, it wouldn't even go far to say that Ye BaiCai was one in a trillion.
All of a sudden, the silent city square burst into laughs of ridicule, some of them jeering about how unique of a person Ye BaiCai was, others sympathizing about how much had luck he had, and wondered who Ye BaiCai had offended in his past lives.
Wang XiaoTou quickly regained his composure, and said with disdain, "bugger off trash, you don't deserve to be on this stage, let alone touching our precious testing monolith".
"But, but... this can't be possible!" Ye BaiCai stammered, "please senior, let me try again, there's no way I'm so trash!"
"Humph"Wang XiaoTou snorted, " you dare say that my monolith is inaccurate?! You're lucky I don't smite you where you stand!" Wang XiaoTou proceeded to wave his hand, causing Ye BaiCai to go flying into the city square, in which everyone parted away to form a aisle in which Ye BaiCai skidded down from the impact.
As Ye BaiCai slowly got up from where he lied, groaning in pain from what seemed to be a couple broken bones, and swore to get revenge on Wang XiaoTou, "when I get stronger, you better hope that you can hide"
To promptly which Wang XiaoTou viscously said, "fat dream trash, even a cabbage head would stand a better chance fighting against me". Everyone in the city quite promptly began to snicker, muttering under their breaths how dumb Ye BaiCai was, staring at his departing back, bloodied and dirtied.
After 30 minutes of hobbling in pain, enduring the stares of disdain of surrounding people, as the news of what happened had already spread, Ye BaiCai arrived at his cabbage field outside of the city. He decided that from now on he'll reside outside the city, within the safe confides of his cabbages.
As Ye BaiCai went to sleep, outside of his small cabin, if one looked closely they could see all the cabbages in the field sway side to side, releasing a energy that suspiciously seemed made out of cabbage shaped particles.
The energy slowly gathered above the sleeping Ye BaiCai's house, and formed a large vortex, spanning around 99 meters in diameter. As the vortex reached speeds around 1000 meters per second, it started to funnel into the house through the roof, and into Ye BaiCai's sleeping body.
Ye BaiCai was in a dream, suspiciously filled with cabbages for everything, cabbage trees, cabbage mountains, and even the sun was a cabbage. As he climbed the tallest cabbage mountain, a scroll descended from out of nowhere, radiating an holy cabbage aura.
Ye BaiCai grabbed the scroll in his dreams, when all a sudden, an aged voice asked him random questions about cabbages, "what is the average size of a non-spiritual cabbage? How many different elemental cabbages are there? Who was the first Cabbage holy son? What was the name of the first cabbage?"
Ye BaiCai, being the cabbage sage he was at the tender age of 5 confidentially replied, "the average size of a non-spiritual cabbage is 20-25 centimeters, as for the second question it is a trick question, as there are unlimited elemental cabbage types, as you can constantly fuse them, however there are 5 main elemental cabbages." "The first cabbage holy son was named Holy Son Cabbage, and the first cabbage was called senior cabbage." He said reverently, remembering these legendary cabbage names he read in a book titled "The History of Cabbage"
A moment of silence followed what Ye BaiCai said, it was obvious the voice was in shock, most likely because no one had ever answered his questions right, as even he didn't know the answer. They were made up figures for gods sake. "Ahem, very well junior, you have answered my questions correctly", he shamelessly stated, "you are worthy of receiving my inheritance."
Ye BaiCai jumped in joy, realizing that this would be a turning point in his life. He quickly opened the scroll in his dream and read its domineering title, {Cabbage Dominates All}. It was a cultivation technique racked above anything that Ye BaiCai had ever heard of! It seemed oddly targeted at cabbages though, Ye BaiCai mused, "it must be a coincidence!"
Ye BaiCai quickly read the first section of the technique, as it was split into 5 sections, each of which would last him 20 levels on the cultivation ladder. When he finished reading the first section, he all of a sudden woke up, gasping for breath.
"Was it real? Do I really have an technique now?!" Ye BaiCai quickly remembered what he had read on the first section, and ran outside to the cabbage field. In order to start cultivating the technique, he needed to be surrounded by cabbages.
Upon reaching the center of the field, Ye BaiCai sat cross legged and started to cultivate according to the instructions of the technique, "close your eyes, feel the cabbages surrounding you, and ask for their energy."
All of a sudden the weird cabbage energy flowed into Ye BaiCai's body, and started to circulate according to a diagram shown in the scroll. When Ye BaiCai finished one whole circulation, exhausting all of his mental power and the cabbage energy, he felt as if he had gained a sudden strength, almost doubling his physical prowess. Around 100 jin worth if he had to guess, which was a telling sign of becoming a level 1 Martial Disciple.
Ye BaiCai jumped for joy in what seemed to be the third time in a short period, and yelled out to the heavens " I'm coming for you my enemies! You can never escape my cabbages!!"
