Chapter 11: The system malfunctions again, unleashing a massive fart.

"You have a single wood elemental root, you can take your hand away now."

Chong Cang watched with satisfaction as Shi Liuying shifted her attention.

Shi Liuying was somewhat puzzled as to why this strange Shen Hanzhou would show her such unusual goodwill, but she still politely replied, "The sect's quota is very generous, more than enough, and the roof is not damaged. Thank you for your kindness."

The person who had just spoken up for Yun Zhishui was now completely captivated by the changes in the Five Elements Tree.

Everyone present understands the value of a single-elemental wood spiritual root.

"That's amazing!"

"It seems that it won't be long before Junior Sister can enter the inner sect."

"What junior sister? Call me senior sister. We'll have to rely on you in the upcoming competition."

"I'm so envious, I want to have that too."

Amidst the praises of the crowd, the usually composed and elegant young master Yun Zhishui completely lost his composure.

No! That's not right at all!

These praises are rightfully his! He's been like this since he was little; every stroke of luck he encounters seems to automatically go into his pocket. Everyone's eyes are on him; he's the lucky chosen one, the center of attention in every crowd!

For the first time in her life, Yun Zhishui felt the humiliation of being ignored.

The energy of heaven and earth surrounding him seemed to have left him.

Having confirmed Shi Liuying's spiritual root, Chong Cang was not very interested in the spiritual roots of others.

He had everyone line up, then walked over one by one and placed their hands on his.

Thus, something unprecedented in the history of Wanxiang Sect's enrollment, which could be described as a celestial phenomenon, occurred.

The Five Elements Tree began to glow in a regular pattern.

Some glow red, some glow yellow, some are yellowish-green, and some are greenish-blue.

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.

"Oh my god, how did my three spiritual roots suddenly become two spiritual roots!"

"I actually have a single spiritual root! I actually have a single fire-type spiritual root! Am I a genius too?"

"Ahh, who knows the value of dual lightning and earth elemental skills? I have both offensive and defensive power, who can beat me! Hehehehehe!"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell, and even Chongcang was shocked to see so many geniuses emerge.

Is there inflation? Is genius something worthless?

He thought for a moment, and finally calmly stabilized the situation: "You are the worst class I have ever led."

Everyone: ? ? ?

Chong Cang: "Don't be arrogant and complacent. There are countless geniuses in the inner sect. You still have a lot to learn and cultivate."

With their faces flushed, the group steadied themselves and declared in loud voices, "We will!"

Shen Hanzhou is also among the geniuses. He is a dual-elemental cultivator of water and ice, a rare and precious spiritual root.

But he had previously tested his talent with Yun Zhishui.

As long as Yun Zhishui is present, his ice spirit root is as if it were dead, unable to hide, turning into a melted, colorful chocolate bean, mottled and ugly.

Everyone who saw him shook their heads and said the child was ruined, while praising the genius Yun Zhishui.

But this time, in front of the elder, his talent, which had been hidden under the protagonist's halo, resurfaced.

Shen Hanzhou was so excited he wanted to cry. He looked at Chong Cang as if he were a savior. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have even knelt down on one knee and shouted: You are my god!

After more than twenty years of torment, is he finally about to see the light at the end of the tunnel?

Shen Hanzhou's condition improved, but Yun Zhishui's condition deteriorated.

He watched as one genius after another was born, shaking his head like Ke Yun: "No, no!"

He cannot accept a world where everyone is the same as him, where everyone can have a spotlight.

All the heavenly treasures and earthly treasures are his, and all the opportunities are his!

The good fortune that had accompanied him for so many years couldn't just disappear into thin air.

Yun Zhishui, utterly lacking in manners, glared resentfully at Chen Hanzhou.

Being number two is being number two forever; you can never be number one, and you'll always be relegated to being below him!

Like Sister Zhuang smashing a bowl, Yun Zhishui tried her best to gracefully leave all the "geniuses" in front of her behind.

None of the people who had been surrounding him were now standing with him.

"Hey, why did you push me?"

"What's the rush? It's not like you're in a hurry to be reincarnated."

"Ah, it seems he's the only one left who hasn't had his spiritual root tested."

Yes, he was the only one who didn't get tested, which means he still has a chance!

Yun Zhishui stood in front of the Five Elements Tree, panting heavily. After a few deep breaths, he solemnly placed his hand on the soil.

The Five Elements Tree, which had been glowing so brightly that it caused visual fatigue for those around it, was now just like an ordinary spiritual plant, completely still.

Yun Zhishui's forehead was covered in sweat.

"Move..." he urged softly.

The fact that there are more geniuses now is unacceptable to him; if he were to become a complete failure as well…

Yun Zhishui felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, as if he were about to become the laughingstock of the entire sect.

"Please, please give me some response! I'll accept any consequences!"

Just when Yun Zhishui was almost in despair, the Five Elements Tree moved.

It first emitted a burst of green light.

"It's long?"

It should grow so big and thick it could lift the roof off; it should attract the attention of everyone in the entire sect; it should alarm the sect elders who are in seclusion and personally take him as their disciple…

The Five Elements Tree has moved.

"It's blooming! It's actually blooming!"

What does "flowering" mean?

"Some are frozen, some are dripping water, and some even have tiny flames, but I've never seen any that are blooming?"

Nobody else had it, but he did!

Yun Zhishui gradually regained his confidence.

Doesn't this prove his extraordinary nature?

The multicolored flower grew larger and larger, brimming with Yun Zhishui's anticipation. Yun Zhishui could even feel himself resonating with the flower; he felt light as a feather, and his body was expanding...

he,

he……

Yun Zhishui's expression gradually changed.

"puff--"

Amidst the intense attention of everyone, accompanied by a loud fart, the face-sized flower, unable to withstand the pressure, burst.

In an instant, the people of the Transmission Hall scattered like birds and beasts.

No one understood what was wrong with the Five Elements Tree.

Only Shen Hanzhou, lurking in the corner, heard the system's voice.

[Error! Error! A system error has occurred! Updating tasks for the host!]

[You stride in with an arrogant, crab-like gait, twirling your fan with one hand, and suddenly, "smack!"—slap Yun Zhishui on the back of the head.]

[Say the classic cannon fodder line: "Hey, isn't this the genius Yun? I heard you had some earth-shattering insight when you farted yesterday?" (crossed out)]

[Say the classic cannon fodder line: "Hey, isn't this the genius Yun? I heard you let out a spectacular fart during your enlightenment yesterday?"]
