In The Dragon Fountain Forest , Chen Jianhong was currently jumping from one bamboo stalk to the next avoiding the wet earth below him. “Where are you my prey !” Chen Jianhong thought excitedly. He was from a normal clan and thus his chances of achieving a high position within a sect was extremely low as compared to those prodigies who had been nurtured by the Clans since birth. The only thing special about Chen Jianhong was his oddly strong body as compared to others his age. Yet this was enough for him to soar up like a dragon from the carp that were the common folk. Even though he was only in the Low Adept rank, he was quite confident in being able to be classified as an intermediate Adept if a situation were to arise. “If I can stay clear from those Clan prodigies and only hunt down the other commoners,it’ll undoubtedly be my win !” Chen Jianhong’s eyes gleamed with ferociousness. As long as he could complete the test, his life would be set, all he had to do after that was only pledge his allegiance to a member of a Clan. “Aha ! Found one.” As Chen Jianghong was travelling through the bamboo stalks he suddenly noticed someone on the ground,probably unconscious after falling from the bamboo. He propelled himself towards the person using the bamboo stalk as support and prepared to land a blow to fully incapacitate them. Yet as he got closer, he felt goosebumps all over his body. “What the !” Chen Jianghong inwardly exclaimed as he saw that the previously unconscious person suddenly made a move. WOOSH ! They moved their body lying face flat on the ground 360 degrees and landed a kick on Chen Jianghong’s face. BAM ! Chen Jianghong was sent flying and landed with a splat on the muddy ground. “What an arrogant fool you are.” The person spoke with a feminine voice. “You ! It’s actually you !” Chen Jianghong’s face went pale as he stared at his attacker. Among the prodigies who had participated for the selections this year, Chen Jianghong had classified them into three levels. Normies would account for the absolute average of the group with no special abilities and only luck on their side, next would be the gifted ones who had in one way or another a special gift that significantly boosted their combat prowess, Chen Jianghong could be classified as one of them and then finally the freaks who were youths raised since their birth, most of them didn’t possess any special abilities yet even so these prodigies could easily dwarf the talents of gifted ones and the one in front of him was actually one of them. Darling of the Regal Peacock Li Meiyu ! Chen Jianghong was feeling the contradictory mix of emotions of fear and joy. Fear was obvious yet joy was due to another reason. “If I can become a follower of such a talent, my position is going to be at least the level equivalent of an officer in the army !” “Spare me Senior Sister !” Chen Jianghong quickly kowtowed. Li Meiyu looked at him with coldness enough to freeze a lake. “Why should I spare you ?” She asked with the tone of a statement. "I, Chen Jianghong, possess a body of unparalleled strength. Spare me, and I shall become your loyal follower and unwavering shield, protecting you against all adversaries!" Chen Jianghonhg used his entire talent in acting to deliver his best line ever. “This very powerful body of yours was the same one that was flung away by my kick no ?” Li Meiyu asked. Chen Jianghong realised he had been caught afterall what type of powerful body couldn't even withstand a single kick ? Realising she had struck correctly, Li Meiyu prepared to attack. BAM ! Suddenly Chen Jianghong fell on the ground unconscious, surprising Li Meiyu. “Who was that ?!” She thought and looked around yet couldn’t find anyone. Suddenly she felt her body screaming at her to roll to the side which she followed without hesitation. CLACK ! A figure landed on the place where Li Meiyu previously stood. It was a youth that was the same height as Chen Jianghong and his age was probably similar b
