These three individuals have a youthful appearance, seemingly not yet ten years old, but their aura is entirely different from that of the other disciples.

Their realm is also clearly in the Late Stage Life Force, but that kind of demeanor and pressure is only seen in the Innate.

The semi-transparent Master Wu, with his high forehead and large head, walks out of the Flying Moon Hall with a hunched back, supported by a cane.

"Master Wu!"

All the children bow in unison to pay respect.

In the corner, a disciple with a square head looks vacant, appearing extremely clumsy, even bowing and rising half a beat slower than others.

Zhou Leng cast a glance at that child.

Master Wu looked up at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng was startled for a moment, then immediately clasped his fists in salute.

Master Wu scanned the crowd, focusing on those three children.

"Today, we initiate the Long River Flying Moon trial."

"The Long River Flying Moon consists of three stages; the first stage, Flying Moon Broken Tree, tests True Qi strength."

"The second stage, Flying Moon River Flow, tests True Qi manipulation."

"The third stage, Flying Moon Mountain, assesses the overall skill."

"Those who pass the trial may enter the Innate Pavilion."

"Guan Canglong, you are the senior apprentice brother, begin the trial."

"Understood."

The refined senior apprentice brother, Guan Canglong, steps forward.

His body shrinks, turns into light, and flies into the Flying Moon Map.

He finds himself at the source of the Long River, beneath him rises a small hill over ten meters tall.

Ahead appear nine equally tall hills, each planted with a pine tree that one person can wrap their arms around.

Nine large trees stand in a straight line, forming a single line with the people.

The misty white moon is half his height, descending in front of him, he raises his right hand, channels True Qi, and the moon starts to spin, getting faster and faster.

Guan Canglong takes a deep breath, pushes his arms forward, and surging True Qi bursts forth.

On the surface of his arms appear faint starlight and broken shadows.

On his back, a translucent dragon claw appears.

Zhou Leng's gaze sharpened.

Guan Canglong presses his palms against the spinning moon, its destructive force crashing towards the trees ahead.

Boom...

The moon flies over, the tree trunk explodes.

The large tree topples, its stump covered in cracks.

The moon's momentum isn't exhausted, breaking the second tree and continues flying forward, breaking tree after tree.

Until the ninth tree is shattered, the remaining force carries it far away, and the moon returns.

Disciples of the Ancient River Sect exclaimed in awe, Zhou Leng fell into contemplation.

Li Shenkong, the strongest genius on Blue Star, at Late Stage Life Force, can only surpass True Liquid Innate, not anything higher.

Guan Canglong's True Qi strength was clearly at the level of Great Innate, infinitely close to Grandmaster.

Even the mighty Eight-toothed Mammoth pales in comparison.

He is not even ten years old.

Worthy of being the senior apprentice brother of the Starfield Sect.

Thinking further, Zhou Leng's gaze fell on the Cyan Dragon Claw Shadow behind Guan Canglong.

Headless God.

That is a claw of the Dragon Race.

The human Headless God, at most, uses remnants from the Martial Saint Demigod level.

The Cyan Dragon Claw Shadow behind Guan Canglong is at least remnants from the Void God level.

Zhou Leng observed carefully, this Guan Canglong, not only is his talent astonishing, but his growth resources exceed mine millions of times, his treasures exceed mine millions of times, such strength is genuinely normal.

In the Flying Moon Map, peaks scattered and spread out, the white Long River wrapped around the Nine Mountains, sometimes at the foot, sometimes halfway up, some even crossing the peaks, pouring down as waterfalls.

The moon falls into the water.

Rumble...

The river emits a thunderous roar, its speed dramatically increases, impacting the moon.

Guan Canglong stands still, arms forming a moon embrace, a moon projection appears before him.

By controlling the moon projection in front of him, he influences the moon in the water.

The moon travels through the river, the water rages, whirlpools, surges, trembles, waves crashing...

Various forces emerge, trying to push the moon out of the river.

Guan Canglong resolves them with his powerful True Qi manipulation.

The moon bypasses one mountain after another, eventually calmly passing the Ninth Mountain and reaching the end of the Long River.

Many disciples cheered and praised aloud.

The round-faced senior sister claps enthusiastically, the cold-faced junior apprentice brother stands with arms crossed, watching quietly.

The moon flies back, and the scene changes again in the Flying Moon Map.

Nine peaks form a giant valley.

A river, defying logic, winds around the Nine Mountains, resembling white satin wrapping the peaks, shining brightly.

Guan Canglong stands in the center of the valley.

Above, numerous moons align in a straight line, from top to bottom, carrying whistling wind as they smash towards Guan Canglong.

The first moon, half a person's height, falls, he sweeps it aside with his right hand.

Boom...

The moon suddenly accelerates, surpassing the speed of sound, a ring of white mist appears, crashing into the mountain.

Upon contact with the mountain, it immediately rebounds, spinning, along a mysterious arc, circling half a round, smashing towards Guan Canglong from behind.

Nearing Guan Canglong, its speed slows, no longer terrifying at sonic speed.

At this moment, he has already swept away three other moons, sidestepping and waving a hand to deflect the rebounding first moon in a different direction.

A hundred moons continuously fall, Guan Canglong keeps deflecting, also manipulating the returning moons.

Initially, he stood still, but quickly began running while redirecting moons.

A hundred moons all descend, in the valley of Nine Peaks, hundred moons bounce repeatedly, silver light flashes continuously, afterimages resembling rivers.

Guan Canglong, a mere child, runs within the valley to dodge, swatting, deflecting, kicking, blocking...

The incomparably violent swarm of moons seems tamed in this child's presence, like a herd of subjugated beasts.

Throughout the endeavor, not a single one collides with Guan Canglong.

Zhou Leng watches more silently as he goes on, even the Great Innate is no match for Guan Canglong.

Only a Grandmaster can reach this level.

Monster, a true monster.

Before long, the full moon dispersed across the sky, leaving only one hanging in the air.

Guan Canglong was pushed out of the Flying Moon Map by an invisible force and landed on the ground.

Master Wu smiled and nodded, saying, "Guan Canglong, Twenty-Seventh Mountain, first place."

After Master Wu finished speaking, a list appeared on the far left of the Flying Moon Map.

The first name on it was Guan Canglong.

"Second one." Master Wu smiled at Shen Yunxian, looking at her differently, as if kindly towards his granddaughter.

Shen Yunxian smiled sweetly and said, "Here I go."

Zhou Leng looked at this Senior Sister Shen; her voice sounded somewhat familiar.

This round-faced sweet girl, during the trial, had arched eyebrows and a cheerful smile.

With one move, the full moon broke nine trees.

The second round, Flying Moon River, and the third round, Flying Moon Mountain, were all cleared.

Although slightly less than Guan Canglong, the difference wasn't far.

On the Flying Moon List, second place was Shen Yunxian's name, also Twenty-Seventh Mountain.

"Qu Xinghan." Master Wu looked at the cold-faced junior brother.

Qu Xinghan took one step in and broke through three stages in one go.

He was slightly inferior to Guan Canglong but slightly better than Shen Yunxian.

Third, Qu Xinghan, Twenty-Seventh Mountain.

Next, the other disciples joined in succession.

Also in the Late Stage of Life Force, the strongest among the rest reached only Twenty-Fourth Mountain.

More than half reached the passing Eighteenth Mountain, while the other half did not reach Eighteenth Mountain.

The gap between the other disciples and the top three was evident to the naked eye.

Zhou Leng finally understood why the top three were at the Twenty-Seventh Mountain: because this trial had only Twenty-Seventh Mountain. If there were more mountains, the three might have reached over thirty or even forty to fifty mountains.

The upper limit for the other disciples was Twenty-Seventh Mountain, and they might not even reach it.

The last translucent disciple walked out of the Mountains and Rivers Flying Moon Map; Master Wu looked at Zhou Leng.

"Zhou Leng, you are the last one."

The translucent disciples all turned to look at Zhou Leng.

These people clearly weren't real, but their expressions were lifelike.

Guan Canglong's gaze was gentle, nodding lightly. Despite his young age, he appeared mature, like a generous elder brother.

Shen Yunxian said with a smile, "Junior Brother Zhou Leng, come quickly."

Qu Xinghan looked coldly at Zhou Leng, saying nothing.

Zhou Leng copied their salute, clasping fists with his left hand over his right but with the index finger pointing slightly upward.

Walking to the Flying Moon Map, he tried to take a step, and an invisible suction force surged in.

Before him, the flowing lights were like lines, colorful and dazzling. In a blink, he was in a completely different world.

Zhou Leng looked around; blue sky, light clouds, white water winding around mountains, completely different from what was seen outside.

It was a completely real world.

He glanced at the round moon above, maneuvered True Qi.

At the first touch, the round moon felt as light as nothing.

As True Qi continued to infuse, the round moon became heavier.

Zhou Leng observed everyone's trial process and emulated their methods, slowly maneuvering True Qi.

The round moon, like a large stone ball, constantly rotated in front of Zhou Leng, growing ever heavier.

Zhou Leng pushed True Qi to its limit.

Before long, the round moon no longer increased in weight, having reached its current maximum limit.

Taking a deep breath, he pushed both arms forward suddenly.

Without using any moves, he pushed forward with all his True Qi.

Endless True Qi surged like the Yangtze River, sweeping like a tsunami, striking the round moon.

Bang...

The round moon shot out, emitting a slight whooshing sound, hitting the first tree.

The tree collapsed, and the round moon barreled into the second tree, the third...

After crashing through the fifth tree, the round moon's momentum plummeted, finally rolling under the sixth tree.

"Five Mountains," Master Wu announced.

Zhou Leng's brow slightly furrowed; he had originally expected to clear six mountains.

It seemed there was still a huge gap when compared to the outstanding disciples of the Ancient River Sect.

Nine Mountains changed, rivers circled, and the round moon returned to the front.

The second stage was Flying Moon River, keeping the round moon in the water. Touching the riverbank meant failure.

Zhou Leng had been observing other disciples passing through the Flying Moon River and had accumulated a lot of experience.

He injected True Qi into the round moon with both hands. When it fell into the water, a transparent round moon projection appeared in front of him.

Zhou Leng found controlling the round moon far more difficult than imagined using True Qi.

It felt slippery, like a large loach slipping around in his hands.

Those disciples could control it so quickly; they must have practiced countless times.

The round moon wobbled on the river's surface.

The waves came; the round moon tilted sideways.

A whirlpool suddenly appeared; the round moon hurriedly shifted sideways.

The reef protruded; the round moon slowly avoided it...

This round moon seemed ready to be washed ashore by the river at any time, resulting in failure.

White Moon floated on the river, uninterrupted, traversing mountain after mountain.

Upon reaching the fourth mountain, the previously shaky round moon gradually stabilized.

After bypassing the sixth mountain, the river began to stir, and the obstructive force suddenly increased.

Many small fish leaped from the water, hitting the round moon, altering its direction.

Zhou Leng steadily controlled True Qi and successfully reached the Seventh Mountain.

Beyond the Seventh Mountain, the current sped up fivefold in the latter half.

This was Zhou Leng's first experience with Flying Moon River. Despite being prepared, he couldn't adapt to the rapid current, and the round moon was washed ashore.

"Seventh Mountain."

The scenery shifted, with Nine Mountains encircling the valley, and a hundred moons descending from the sky.

Flying Moon Mountain, the most challenging among the three trial stages.
