The black stele was covered in rosy light, and a beam of light shot up into the sky. The crowd stared in utter shock, their hearts trembling with the scene before them.
Jiang Lichun was equally astounded. He had thought that, with Li Xiaoyao's talent for cultivation, possessing a Fifth or Sixth Rank Spirit Root should be normal. But now, the reaction of the stele clearly surpassed that grade.
He had tested hundreds of disciples before, and the ones with the best Spirit Roots were only Seventh Rank. He had never encountered such a situation.
After a moment of silence, the crowd began to murmur,
"What Rank is that Spirit Root?"
"I think it must be at least Eighth Rank."
"Good heavens, an Eighth Rank Spirit Root? How terrifying is that kid!"
"I remember the strongest Spirit Root in the Xuan Sect belongs to Sister Ye Yisheng, right? When the Sect Leader tested her Spirit Root, it reached the Seventh Rank."
