“Nonsense, your eyes are sparkling!”
“Yeah!”
“My eyes always look like this!” Mo Hua asserted.
“…”
“But…” a disciple wondered, “Mo Hua, why do you draw formations so well?”
Mo Hua shyly said, “Do I? It’s just okay…”
Some envied and gritted their teeth,
“Modesty can help one progress, but too much modesty, can lead to a beating!”
Mo Hua then said, “I’m only a little better at Formation, which is why I was admitted with a Mid-Lower Grade Spiritual Root…”
“Mid-Lower Grade?!”
All the present disciples were shocked.
“You have a Mid-Lower Grade Spiritual Root?!”
“No wonder, your Spiritual Power, it’s so weak…”
“And your Blood Qi is a bit deficient…”
“Your Taoist Foundation isn’t solid…”
“You’re not tall either…”
Mo Hua became unhappy, “That’s enough…”
Blood Qi and Spiritual Power are fine to mention, but being not tall, is that something you can say?
The other disciples quickly offered apologetic smiles.
Someone curiously asked, “But that doesn’t make sense, no matter how well you learn Formation, a Mid-Lower Grade Spiritual Root shouldn’t be allowed entrance, right?”
“Yeah, my family’s elder tried to get a direct lineage member with a Low to Superior-Grade Spiritual Root into Taixu Gate, even with many connections, it wasn’t successful…”
“If Low to Superior is not possible, much less Mid-Lower Grade…”
“Mid-Lower Grade, entering the Eight Great Gates…”
A group of people looked at Mo Hua with strange eyes…
After a while, a few disciples came over and stood in front of Mo Hua, their gaze intense as they bowed their fists and said,
“Qianzhou Cheng Family, Cheng Mo, I’d like to become friends!”
“Li State Situ Family, my name is Situ Jian, I will surely be the number one Sword Cultivator in the Nine State in the future, greetings!”
“Qian State Wen Clan…”
“Gen State…”
…
Mo Hua was stunned.
He had thought they were coming over in a menacing manner to start a conflict.
But they were actually coming to… befriend him?
What did it mean?
If he remembered correctly, he had said “Mid-Lower Grade” Spiritual Root, not “Superior-Grade”…
Could it be that Taixu Gate rated Spiritual Roots in reverse?
Was a Mid-Lower Grade better than a Superior-Grade?
Mo Hua was very confused.
In the distance, some disciples whispered among themselves. Though their voices were low, they still reached Mo Hua’s ears.
