I Am Overlord

Chapter 562: Natural Phenomenon

When Xiang Shaoyun triggered the nine-star phenomenon, everyone in the Dragon Phoenix Academy sensed it. This was an extremely rare phenomenon, and the pressure it exuded caused everyone to shudder.

Numerous dreadful auras surged out from various spots in the academy. At the same time, several figures appeared midair as they gazed at the nine-star phenomenon with excitement in their eyes.

"How many years has it been? It has been so long since I last saw a physique so excellent! The heavens have blessed our Dragon Phoenix Academy!" said an old man whose face couldn\'t be seen clearly.

"Yeah, the last time a high-grade nine-star physique appeared was during the ancient times. Now, one has actually appeared here at our Dragon Phoenix Academy? Looks like old folks like us will need to get busy personally this time," said a different man whose face similarly couldn\'t be seen clearly.

A woman with an hourglass figure said, "Who\'s the recruiter of this child? Why had he not confirmed the child\'s physique before the assessment? By revealing the child\'s physique, he will only attract the attention of the other disciples. Those ancient factions would also try their best to recruit him. If they fail, they would rather kill him. After all, someone this talented can also be extremely threatening."

"No, I have to stop that from happening. I\'ll just take him as a hidden disciple and release him to the world 1,000 years later," said an old man as he suddenly flew toward Xiang Shaoyun. But before he could go far, he was stopped by a few figures.

"Dream on. Charging out like this will only scare the child. In any case, you don\'t even know what power he cultivates. How can you take him as a disciple so casually?" said someone unhappily.

"That\'s right. We should continue observing and determine what power he cultivates before making a decision," said a middle-aged man.

"No. With our strength, we will be able to guide him in whatever power he cultivates. He is still a tiny Skysoar Realm cultivator!" said the person who tried flying toward Xiang Shaoyun earlier.

"There\'s no hurry. In any case, the child has already joined our Dragon Phoenix Academy. He won\'t be able to escape us," said the woman calmly.

"That\'s right. Keep observing. I think he definitely cultivates the power of water," said someone.

The entire Dragon Phoenix Academy seemed to have transformed into a boiling pot. Liu Xutian, Xiao Wei, and the other elders were filled with excitement. They had never imagined that Xiang Shaoyun would create such a commotion. They knew very well that a disciple of this caliber was not someone they could take as a disciple. Even so, they were still filled with a desire to have him as a disciple.

As for Feng Huosuo, he had an extremely unsightly expression. With his fists clenched tightly, he thought, How is this possible? A high-grade nine-star physique? Damn it! This must be a dream!

Xiang Shaoyun felt like it was time to stop showing off, but his nine stars suddenly erupted with a massive suction force, absorbing a certain power hidden within the assessment stone. To be precise, his stars were absorbing the power of the nine stars in the sky. The stone was merely serving as a medium.

The rays of light shining from the sky started undergoing some changes. One of the nine pure and unblemished rays suddenly turned purple, as if it had turned into a bolt of lightning. One of the hidden old fellows cried out in excitement as if he had won a lottery, "He cultivates the power of lightning! Splendid!"

He had barely celebrated when a different ray of light turned into a golden ray.

"He cultivates the power of gold as well? Excellent!" the middle-aged man exclaimed in joy.

It was understandable that someone with such a freakish talent would cultivate two powers. But soon they saw red, gray, green, blue, yellow, white, and black rays appearing one after another. The rays of light looked incredibly wondrous, presenting an exceedingly enchanting sight. The other eight stones in the area were affected as well. A resonance formed between them as they started shining brightly, accepting the incoming rays of light.

Immediately, a power that greatly resembled both the natural spiritual energy in the air and the astral energy of the stars started spreading out. The surroundings became flooded with energy. The old trees in the area grew new leaves, the spiritual herbs advanced into the next tier, the flowers instantly bloomed, and the numerous demonic beasts all stopped everything they were doing. They released their demonic cores, allowing their cores to be nourished.

Even the young geniuses in the area could sense their cultivation growing rapidly. Those who were near breakthrough were suddenly hit with a sudden bout of inspiration, as if they were going to break through at any moment. As for Xiang Shaoyun, he sank into a unique state. He felt incredibly comfortable, as if he was soaking in a hot spring or bathing under the first ray of the sun in the morning.

His nine stars started growing at an inconceivable speed. Even more unbelievable was the nine-colored energy in his astral cosmos sea. It started growing rapidly, and Money started devouring it hungrily. Under this process, Money started undergoing some changes as well.

The vicious tiger gold lotus, blaze flower, ghostbloom, and the other plants in his astral cosmos sea started shining with a glistening radiance. Not only had new buds sprouted out of them, they had even advanced to a higher tier. Everyone was stunned, and nobody could explain everything that was happening.

None noticed that beyond the sky, an additional star had appeared, its appearance vaguely discernible. The new star was completely covered by the nine colors, and it seemed like it was absorbing the power contained in the nine colors in a completely concealed state. Not even the experts at the Dragon Phoenix Academy could detect that star.

At the same time that star appeared, the powers shining upon the world below turned berserk. The nine stones suddenly exploded, and Xiang Shaoyun who was caught by surprise was sent flying. Everyone panicked, thinking that they were under attack. They started scattering everywhere in panic.

As for the nine overseers and the disciples standing near the stones, they suffered the brunt of the impact. It was unknown if they were still alive or not. With the explosion of the nine assessment stones, the nine stars in the sky vanished noiselessly. The nine colors vanished, and peace returned, as if nothing had happened.
