Hearing what the mushroom said, the protector coughed, feeling a little awkward.
It was true that he didn't want Ling Xian to pass the test. After all, the Oceanic Kind's rules were there. He had to force Ling Xian to back off.
"It's okay. If you want something, you have to give something."
Ling Xian brandished his hand. His physique has always been at the peak of his level. Lifting up the stone was easy.
Therefore, to him, this wasn't even a test. It was more like a formality. He was rushing him to accept the baptism.
"But …"
The mushroom frowned. Before he could finish, Ling Xian interrupted him.
"You don't believe in my capabilities?"
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips. He was calm and collected.
"Of course I believe you. But, he is clearly giving me a hard time." The mushroom wasn't happy.
"It's okay. Only then will he be willing to let me accept the baptism." Ling Xian grinned.
"That's right."
The elder stared at Ling Xian, "If you can lift up this stone, then I will willingly let you accept the baptism."
"Okay."
Ling Xian smiled and walked towards the special stone.
His casual demeanor made the elder frown, "I sure want to see if you are faking it or if you are truly capable."
"Of course it's the latter."
Ling Xian faintly grinned. He had lifted the special Meteorite Stone once before. What was difficult in other people's eyes was nothing to him.
"Hmmph, let the truth speak for itself." The elder hissed, not believing Ling Xian could do it.
The mushroom was a little worried as well.
Though he knew Ling Xian was outstanding and powerful, it was a special stone after all. Only those with undefeatable physiques could move it.
Even in the ancient times, those with undefeatable physiques were few and far between, let alone now.
"I will show you the truth." Ling Xian had a smile on his lips and no longer paid attention to the elder.
His right hand softly rested on top of the special stone that was half the height of a person. More accurately speaking, he rested on a protrusion.
Then, he used all his strength and before the mushroom and the elder's shocked stare, he lifted it up!
Notice, he lifted it up, not lifted it up!
Compared to lifting it up, lifting it up was much more tiring. However, Ling Xian lifted it as if it was light. He didn't even pant.
This caused the mushroom and the old man to be dumbstruck, and their jaws were about to touch the ground.
Lifting up the special Meteorite Stone was already an unbelievable feat. But Ling Xian did it by lifting it up. His face wasn't red, and he wasn't out of breath. This was heaven-defying!
Therefore, the two of them were experiencing waves of emotions. They stared at Ling Xian, who was holding onto the Fallen Star, and were speechless.
"I've passed the test, right?"
Ling Xian softly chuckled. He was at ease and at ease.
It was as if what he held in his hand wasn't the legendary special Meteor Stone, but a gust of wind.
Damn you!
Did he have to be so perverted?
The elder's eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets as he stared at Ling Xian, unsure of what to say.
The mushroom was the same.
She knew Ling Xian was strong, but she didn't expect him to be this insane!
That was a special Meteor Stone. Even lifting it was strenuous, so how could he lift it? How could he not blush or gasp for breath?
If news of this were to spread, the entire Big Dipper would be shaken!
"Do you pass or not? Give me an answer." Ling Xian spoke softly and let go.
Bang!
The Meteor Stone fell like a falling star. The ground cracked open and the Heaven and Earth shook.
The elder recollected himself and couldn't help but to reveal a bitter smile.
The reality was right before his eyes. Ling Xian lifted it and perfectly passed the test. It also gave him a loud slap in the face.
"You win."
The elder exhaled a mouthful of murky air as if he wanted to puff out all the shock in his chest.
Sadly, no matter what, he couldn't forget.
Ling Xian's heaven-defying actions were destined to be imprinted in his heart and will never be erased.
"You knew a long time ago that you could lift the special Meteor Stone?" The elder stared at Ling Xian. He remembered how calm and collected Ling Xian was.
"I lifted it once." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he said something that almost made the elder puke blood.
"So, you used the special Meteor Stone to test me. It was like you were just going through the motions to ensure that I passed."
Hearing this, the elder was first startled. Then, his entire body shook from anger and he almost puked out blood.
This was far too ironic. He thought this was a difficult test, but in Ling Xian's eyes, it was just a formality. How ironic!
"You!"
The elder wanted to be angry, but he didn't know where to start.
He was the one who suggested using the Meteor Stone to test Ling Xian. Who could he blame?
"Ling Xian, you sure made me worry for nothing." Mushroom's smile bloomed like a flower as she relaxed.
At the same time, she admired him.
The special Meteor Stone was something she couldn't even lift, let alone lift it. Yet Ling Xian did it. He did it so effortlessly. Why wouldn't she admire him?
"Aye, I sure am stupid."
The elder sighed deeply, feeling like he had become a joke.
Just like Ling Xian said, this really wasn't a test. It was a formality to ensure that he passed.
"The first test, you passed."
The elder's expression turned serious, "But, there is a second test."
"Give me your test." Ling Xian wiped off his smile.
"I've seen how strong you are. Not to mention this era where the path of the body has declined, even in the ancient times, you're still one of the best."
"However, strength alone isn't enough. You also need to have control."
"The second test is to test your control."
The elder flapped around his sleeve and a palm-sized piece of white paper appeared.
This wasn't a treasure, nor was it a heavenly treasure. It was merely a piece of white paper used by mortals. It was weightless. When the wind blew, it fluttered in the air.
"What does the Protector mean?" Ling Xian frowned, having a bad feeling.
"Break it with one punch."
The elder's expression was serious as he said in a low voice, "Remember, use your fists and you can only use your physique."
Hearing this, Ling Xian was first startled, then he smiled.
Not even in his dreams did he think that the second test would be one he was good at.
"You are making things difficult for me!"
Mushroom was panicking. If he used his finger or his Qi, he could easily crush the white paper. But using his physique, using his fists, he couldn't do that.
Remember that the white paper fluttered in the wind. Without any support points, fists cannot break it!
Therefore, Mushroom stared at the elder, "How is it possible to crush the white paper with your fists?"
"Why is it not possible?"
The elder asked back, "When your control reaches a certain level, you can even do it with your fists."
Hearing this, Mushroom panicked and wanted to argue.
However, Ling Xian stopped him.
He softly grinned, "The guardian is right. It is possible."
"But that is far too difficult. How is it possible?"
Mushroom shifted his gaze towards the elder and said angrily, "You just don't want Ling Xian to pass!"
"That, I don't deny."
The elder said softly, "But, the test was set by the first God of Seas. I didn't change it."
Hearing this, Mushroom silenced and didn't know what to say.
"If you want to accept the baptism, then you have to pass the second test."
The elder looked at Ling Xian in a serious manner and said in a low voice, "If you know you can't pass, then stop thinking about it."
"It wasn't easy for me to come here. How can I give up so easily? I have to at least try. "
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, warm and bright.
