Good News, I Transmigrated, But What the Heck is a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character? - Chapter 12

The line slowly moved forward, and Yu Wanwan advanced a considerable distance with the crowd. She looked up at the majestic Spirit Testing Stele. The stele’s surface was covered with ancient runes, and at its top, seven differently colored light pillars floated, representing different spirit root aptitudes.

“Sister Wanwan, look at that scale!” Meng Ke’er suddenly tugged her sleeve and whispered, “I heard that if even one spirit root reaches 75, you can receive key cultivation from the sect.”

Yu Wanwan nodded slightly, her gaze, however, fell on the two deacons beside the stele. The two were one fat and one thin. The fat deacon was holding a roster, while the thin deacon was responsible for guiding the testers. They seemed amiable, but their eyes held a hint of arrogance—having seen too many so-called “geniuses” in the past few days, they were already numb.

“Next one, Yu Wange!”

As the thin deacon’s announcement rang out, the entire square suddenly quieted down a bit. Everyone’s eyes focused on that graceful figure. Yu Wange had specifically changed into a moon-white wide-sleeved flowing immortal dress today. The jade pendant at her waist gently swayed with her steps, reflecting a warm luster in the sunlight.

“Is that the Eldest Young Lady of the Yu family?”

“I heard she has innate fire and wood dual spirit roots. She even alarmed the elders during the family test…”

“Shh, look!”

Yu Wange gracefully raised her jade hand and gently pressed it into the indentation on the Spirit Testing Stele. As spiritual energy was injected, the stele suddenly trembled violently!

“Buzz—”

Two beams of crimson and green light shot into the sky, like two flood dragons entwined, soaring straight into the clouds! The corresponding scales began to climb frantically. The wood attribute instantly broke past the 70 mark, and the fire attribute surged to 75 with irresistible force!

“Both dual spirit roots passed 75 simultaneously!” The fat deacon suddenly stood up, his roster falling to the ground.

The numbers were still soaring!

80!

The wood attribute also closely followed, breaking through 80!

The entire square erupted!

“Oh my god, both dual spirit roots are over 80!”

“This aptitude… Golden Core is within reach!”

“The Yu family is about to produce a true phoenix!”

“It’s so enviable. If Yu Wange doesn’t perish, she will definitely form a Golden Core.”

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Yu Wange wore a faint smile on her lips, and a hint of unexpected pride flashed in her eyes. Her left hand, hidden in her sleeve, gently caressed the ancient ring. The mysterious senior inside had long predicted this result.

85!

The fire attribute finally settled at an astonishing 85!

“Whoa—”

The entire place was in an uproar!

Even the elder, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.

What did 85 points mean?

In the entire Plum-Winged Sect, only the Sect Master’s direct grandson, Chu Lingyun, who possessed a variant wind spirit root, had surpassed 85…

“This junior sister, please follow me!” The thin deacon, shedding his former arrogance, almost ran forward, his waist practically bent into a ninety-degree angle. “The inner hall has prepared spiritual tea. Please rest there for a moment.”

Yu Wange nodded primly, her gaze unintentionally sweeping over Yu Wanwan in the crowd.

That look seemed to say: See clearly, this is the gap between you and me.

“Bah! What’s there to be proud of!” Meng Ke’er grumbled softly, “Sister Wanwan, your younger sister is too unlikable.”

Yu Wanwan, however, simply gazed calmly at Yu Wange’s retreating figure.

In the inner hall, several talented disciples who had tested earlier rose to greet her.

“Senior Sister Yu is indeed extraordinarily gifted!” “Please enlighten us more in the future, Senior Sister!”

“Senior Sister Yu, I’m the Third Young Master of Zhao Kingdom. Let’s be friends.”

“………”

Yu Wange responded with a shallow smile, but her mind was entirely on that phoenix jade pendant.

She caressed the ring and transmitted a message with her divine sense: “Senior, that drop of true blood…”

“Don’t worry,” the old woman’s voice came from the ring, “Good things are worth waiting for. Refine it slowly in the future, and you’ll amaze everyone during the sect assessment!”

Thinking of this, a fervent gleam flashed in Yu Wange’s eyes.

If she could refine that drop of Phoenix True Blood, her fire spirit root would definitely break through the 90 mark! At that time…

Darn it. If it weren’t for the Golden-Scaled Flood Dragon’s tribulation, and if True Monarch Yumeng hadn’t urged her so quickly, she would have definitely become a single spirit root or even a Heavenly Spirit Root after refining the Phoenix essence blood!

“Next one, Meng Ke’er!”

The testing on the square continued. Meng Ke’er skipped forward and placed her hand on the stele.

Yellow-brown and light green lights lit up, and the values rapidly climbed.

“Earth spirit root 78, wood spirit root 65! Dual spirit roots, inner disciple!” The fat deacon announced loudly.

“Sister Wanwan! I got into the inner sect! 78 points, I’ll be重点培养 (specially cultivated) by the sect.” Meng Ke’er cheered, running back and hugging Yu Wanwan tightly. “I’ll protect you from now on!”

Yu Wanwan, with an expression of a lecherous pervert, enjoyed the girl’s scent and laughed, pinching her cheek: “Congratulations.”

“Next one, Yu Wanwan!”

At the mention of this name, the originally noisy square suddenly fell silent for a moment.

Everyone remembered that the extraordinarily talented Yu Wange, who had just tested, seemed particularly interested in this girl with the same surname?

Yu Wanwan took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the Spirit Testing Stele.

She could feel countless gazes piercing her back—curious, mocking, and that cold stare from the inner hall.

“Please place your hand in the indentation and inject spiritual energy,” the thin deacon said in a businesslike manner, yet his eyes held a hint of scrutiny towards this girl who came with the genius earlier.

He, however, did not know Yu Wanwan’s identity or background.

Yu Wanwan gently pressed her palm against the cold stele. In an instant, a sudden change occurred!

“Boom!”

A blinding golden light shot into the sky, followed by a scorching red light! The two lights shone intertwined, actually several times brighter than when Yu Wange tested!

“It’s dual spirit roots?”

“Another dual spirit root? Is it another genius?” The pen in the fat deacon’s hand clattered to the floor.

The numbers soared wildly! Metal spirit root: 30…40…44…. Fire spirit root: 25…35…45……

The numbers were still slowly climbing.

The entire place was dead silent!

In the inner hall, Yu Wange abruptly stood up, completely oblivious to the overturned teacup.

She stared intently at the stele, her fingernails digging deep into her palm: “Impossible… She was clearly just…”

Just when everyone thought they were about to witness the birth of another genius, a third, yellowish-brown light suddenly lit up!

“Three spirit roots?!”

Someone gasped out loud, breaking the frozen atmosphere.

The earth spirit root’s value also began to climb, finally stopping at 55 points along with the metal and fire spirit roots.

“Metal spirit root 55, fire spirit root 48, earth spirit root 55…” When the fat deacon read out this strange combination, he himself was somewhat unsure.

The entire place was in an uproar!

“Three spirit roots?”

“I thought it was dual spirit roots.”

Yu Wanwan herself was stunned. She was clearly metal-fire dual spirit roots, so why was there an extra earth spirit root?

“Sister Wanwan…” Meng Ke’er’s mouth hung open. “What a pity.”

In the inner hall, Yu Wange slowly sat back down, a cold smile playing on her lips: “You scared me to death. Thankfully, it’s three spirit roots; she can only enter the outer sect…”

On the square, the two deacons announced: “Metal spirit root 55, fire spirit root 48, earth spirit root 55. Outer disciple!”

Yu Wanwan calmly withdrew her hand and turned to walk towards the waiting area.

She could feel Yu Wange’s mocking gaze, and she could hear the whispers around her.

But her heart was surprisingly calm. Having lived two lives, her mind was already as still as water.

Just then, a playful childish voice suddenly echoed in her Sea of Consciousness: “How was it? Grandpa’s disguise technique isn’t bad, is it?”

She looked down at her sleeve. A golden thread-like small snake was triumphantly wiggling: “If Grandpa hadn’t used a secret technique to cover for you, your Phoenix True Fire would have already blown up the stele!”

Yu Wanwan responded with her divine sense, “Why did you help me?”

“Nonsense!” The small snake rolled a non-existent eye. “If you die now, Grandpa will also be unlucky. I still need to rely on your Phoenix True Fire’s Nirvana power to recover.”

“The human heart is unpredictable, and intentions are hard to fathom. Your cultivation is low, your strength is weak, and you have no backing. If someone detects that you have dual spirit roots, and also the existence of Phoenix True Fire, you will definitely be envied, and you won’t even know how you died.”

“Before you have enough self-preservation ability, it’s better not to be too high-profile.”

Yu Wanwan: “…”

“Got it.”

“You’re a small snake, but you’re quite manipulative. Thank you.”

“Sister Wanwan…” Meng Ke’er happily bounced over. “Congratulations, three spirit roots are much stronger than five spirit roots…”

“Yes, you’re right.” Yu Wanwan smiled slightly, a hint of slyness flashing in her eyes.

She looked towards the inner hall, meeting Yu Wange’s cold gaze.

The two looked at each other across the distance, one with a face full of triumph, the other smiling without speaking.
