Qin Keqin smiled gently to Lu Qingyun, "Protégé Qingyun, you won't disappoint me. Right?"
Lu Qingyun inhaled softly as he stood in front of the Great Origin Golden Bell.
Behind him, Tang Bufan was mocking him. "He is only a first realm expert. I doubt that he can even make the Great Origin Golden Bell to echo even once!"
Even though Tang Bufan was hateful but many of the protégés had to agree with this conclusion.
Ouyang Xue was gasping softly as she held her hands to her bosoms as she quietly prayed for Lu Qingyun…
Lu Qingyun mustered all his profound strength as he began to strike the True Origin Golden Bell with his palm.
Many of the protégés were shaking their heads as Lu Qingyun's profound force that was being displayed was just too weak.
However, an ordinary protégé Xiao Che was looking intently at Lu Qingyun with great interest; it was because just a few days ago he had secretly attacked Lu Qingyun and he had even been severely wounded by Lu Qingyun. He had noticed that Lu Qingyun was using more profound strength than when he was attacking him and he was curious how such a weak profound force would be able to become a devastating profound force that would actually injure him.
The Great Origin Golden Bell had suddenly echoed and a flash of light had enveloped it and shot upward after Lu Qingyun had struck it with his palm.
This startled many of the ordinary protégés and even core protégés who had not expected for Lu Qingyun to have succeeded in sounding the Great Origin Golden Bell!
Ouyang Xue and Lie Xingyuan were both looking quite relieved when they saw that the Great Origin Golden Bell had sounded. As long as the Great Origin Golden Bell could sound, this was enough for them as Lu Qingyun would be able to have a little foothold in the Heavens Ridge Villa and he would not be mocked by the others.
Tang Bufan was stunned that Lu Qingyun could actually make the Great Origin Golden Bell to echo and he immediately said coldly, "If he can make the Great Origin Golden Bell to sound twice, then I will lick his boot!"
All of a sudden, the Great Origin Golden Bell had echoed thrice and its golden light began to shoot upward once again.
Tang Bufan was stunned and so were many others.
Ouyang Xue and Lie Xingyuan were gasping softly.
Even Leng Qiuyue was suddenly looking at Lu Qingyun with interest...
This time round, even Grand Elder Yun Xing was moved into a flustered smile. "He has the Golden Roc Flame so it isn't surprising that Protégé Lu Qingyun can make the Great Origin Golden Bell to sound 2 times."
When she had said that, the other 5 grand elders were forced to agree with her.
Tang Bufan stammered, "This is only because he has the Golden Roc Flame. If he can make the Great Origin Golden Bell to echo 3 times then I shall call him my grand daddy whenever I see him…"
But barely had he finished, the Great Origin Golden Bell began to echo again, sounding 3 times!
Grand Elder Celestial Kong Guxin gasped, "His talent is equaled to Leng Qiuyue and Tang Bufan now."
Many of the protégés were shocked that Lu Qingyun was able to make the Great Origin Golden Bell to sound 3 times and they began to wonder if they would be able to do so as well.
Dong!!!
All of a sudden, the Great Origin Golden Bell had echoed 4 times!
This startled all the grand elders as Grand Elder Mu Han gasped, "What a monstrous genius. He has actually made the Great Origin Golden Bell to sound 4 times! This Protégé Lu Qingyun is the number one genius in the Heavens Ridge Villa!"
Even Lu Qingyun was startled by his results as he stared blankly at the Great Origin Golden Bell: What is going on here?
Tang Bufan said with great disbelief, "This Great Origin Golden Bell must be defective! This cannot be! He is merely a first realm expert!"
Dong!!!
Barely had Tang Bufan finished speaking, the Great Origin Golden Bell had echoed another time, for the fifth time!
This time sound, even Celestial Shi Guanyin could not help but to gasp with shock. "What a monstrous genius. He can be a core protégé even in the most powerful cultivation holy land. I was so blind as not to pick him as my protégé back then."
Grand Yun Xing was also saying weakly, "By making it sound 5 times, he can be an assistant grand elder now."
The Heavens Martial Hall had exploded into incessant mutterings as many of the protégés could not believe what they were seeing and hearing.
Just as everyone had thought that the True Origin Golden Bell was not going to sound again, it had echoed once again!
Dong!!!
"Sixth time!?"
"This Protégé Lu Qingyun has made the Great Origin Golden Bell to sound 6 times?!!!"
"Did our acting sect leader says that whoever can sound the Great Origin Golden Bell 6 times will be made into an honorable grand elder?"
Dong!!!
The Great Origin Golden Bell had suddenly sounded a seventh time!
Many of the protégés and elders were all dumbfounded.
Even Tang Bufan was so dumbfounded that he could not speak anymore; this was supposed to be him that was supposed to be sounding the Great Origin Golden Bell 9 times and not Lu Qingyun. Did this Lu Qingyun stole all his destiny?!
Grand Elder Yun Xing gasped, "If he can make this Great Origin Golden Bell to sound 7 times then he is our Shengzi (Holy Son) and a future successor to the leadership of the Heavens Ridge Villa."
Lie Xingyuan almost wanted to faint as she could not believe what a monstrous genius Lu Qingyun really was.
Qin Keqin however was smiling coolly, "It seems that we have a Holy Son in our Heavens Ridge Villa now."
Dong!!!
The True Origin Golden Bell had echoed an eighth time!
This stunned almost everyone, including Lu Qingyun; it was because by making the Great Origin Golden Bell to sound 8 times mean that Lu Qingyun can be a dao cultivation partner to Qin Keqin!
Qin Keqin pretended to be greatly startled as she gasped softly, "This is… unbelievable. Guess I have to make Protégé Lu Qingyun as my dao cultivation partner for now onward then."
Just as everyone was envying Lu Qingyun for being able to obtain such an extremely beautiful maiden like Qin Keqin to be his dao cultivation partner, the Great Origin Golden Bell had sounded again, for the ninth time!
Dong!!!
Qin Keqin gasped softly as she displayed a wry smile, "I guess that I have to call my Protégé Lu Qingyun as my senior brother now."
Outside and hidden in the dense covering of a tall tree, were Feng Minyue and Xuan Danfeng.
The two of them were shaking their heads weakly at the scheme that Qin Keqin was cooking.
Xuan Danfeng chuckled softly, "Lu Qingyun has the annihilating seed within him and he is the reincarnation of a true god. So it isn't surprising that he can make the Great Origin Golden Bell to echo 9 times."
Feng Minyue sighed softly, "This is a little too ridiculous. I can't even find an example in the cultivation stories for this. She is forcing this Lu Qingyun to obtain her. She has failed to obtain him in his last life so she is now cooking such a scheme to obtain him."
All of a sudden Xuan Danfeng was saying, "Shhh. Someone is coming and we are going to have another big show soon…"
