“Elder Qian, what’s the hurry? This first-class talent may not necessarily belong to your Ming Emperor Sect.” Elder Hui said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
“Hehe, then let’s have a fair competition and see who can snatch this genius with first-class talent.” Elder Qian raised the corner of his mouth, clearly having a certain amount of confidence.
This made Elder Hui frown secretly, feeling a bad premonition.
In the past Genius Selection Competitions, when it came to competing for geniuses, their Taotu Sect would often be slightly inferior to the Ming Emperor Sect. There was no way around it, the Ming Emperor Sect often had many advantages in attracting geniuses, giving them more initiative.
With the appearance of Wang Wu, who had first-class talent, almost the entire venue was ignited, and many sects had already begun to spend a great deal of effort inviting Wang Wu to join them. After all, a first-class martial arts cultivation talent was truly astounding, ranking only below the once-in-a-century special talent.
No one would not want to win him over.
Even Yang Chen was somewhat surprised, as this first-class talent surely meant that Wang Wu had a Divine Body Talent.
However, he didn’t take it to heart. What did other people’s talents have to do with him?
Just when he thought so, suddenly…
“Huh?” Yang Chen smiled.
After Wang Wu tested to have first-class talent, he stood in place, ecstatic like a toad who had finally tasted swan meat. Then, he looked at Yang Chen with a provocative look, seeming to tell him that he, Wang Wu, was the protagonist of this examination, not Yang Chen!
Yang Chen chuckled in response, he hadn’t felt any hostility from Wang Wu before, but who would have thought that Wang Wu would start showing off to him right after his astounding performance.
This must be what happens when someone gains fame.
Yang Chen stretched lazily, thinking to himself that he hoped Wang Wu wouldn’t provoke him, otherwise, he wouldn’t mind making him pay a price. Soon after Wang Wu’s turn ended, it was time for Yang Chen’s assessment in the Physique Test.
“Yang Chen, it’s your turn!” The examiner, who was curious about Yang Chen’s talent, said with a smile.
He had already seen one first-class talent. If another one appeared, it would be interesting.
Yang Chen respectfully bowed to the examiner and then stepped into the small room in front.
As he entered the room, Yang Chen looked around.
There were layers of prohibitions surrounding the room, and these prohibitions were specifically designed to test physique talent.
As expected, as soon as he entered, he activated the prohibition mechanism, and the spiritual energy stored in these prohibitions penetrated into his body. He didn’t resist and let the prohibition’s True Qi flow through his body to test his physique.
In a short while, the test was over, and Yang Chen felt a force pushing him out of the small room.
Immediately after, he heard the examiner announce loudly, “Yang Chen, third -class talent!”
“Sigh!”
This made many people shake their heads in disappointment.
Even the examiner frowned, apparently very disappointed in Yang Chen’s talent.
Especially Elder Qian from the Ming Emperor Sect, who sneered when he saw that Yang Chen merely had third-class talent, “What did I say? This kid was just using a special means to forcibly increase his cultivation level. He is foolish. He could have had a chance to enter the Origin Martial Realm in this life with his third-class talent, but this kid stubbornly raised his cultivation level through unsanctioned means and severed his future potential. What’s the point? In the end, he’s just useless.”
The Taotu Sect’s Elder Hui, who originally held a high opinion of Yang Chen, also frowned and couldn’t argue with Elder Qian’s words.
Indeed, third-class talent could be considered quite good, at least already first-rate. If one could enter the Spirit Martial Realm before thirteen years old, these sects would welcome such geniuses with open arms.
However, although third-class talent was excellent, it was not enough to support Yang Chen in reaching the Fourth Level of Spirit Martial Realm at such a young age.
The only explanation was that Yang Chen forcibly raised his martial arts cultivation level through means such as giving up the opportunity to enter the Origin Martial Realm in the future.
Such cases were not uncommon. Many geniuses thought they were clever and wanted to shine in the Selection Competition, so they deliberately improved their martial arts cultivation level, causing instability in their foundation, and a worrisome future. But they didn’t know that these major sects weren’t foolish and wouldn’t be deceived.
However, where would they know that Yang Chen’s means were beyond their imagination? He would not do such foolish things as forcibly breaking through his cultivation level and severing his future potential.
“I’ve seen lots of these kinds of wastes, just wait. When the Display of Strength Assessment starts, his true colors will be revealed. The cultivation level that has been forcibly raised might seem like it’s at the Fourth Level of Spirit Martial Realm, but it would be good if he could display the strength of the Second Level of Spirit Martial Realm.” Elder Qian stroked his chin, looking very knowledgeable.
Yang Chen came out of the room at this moment and was somewhat surprised.
Just third-class talent?
As he thought about it, when he came back into the crowd, he suddenly heard that Wang Wu, who had scored a first-class talent, sneered, “It turns out to be just a waste who has raised his martial arts cultivation level through unscrupulous means. With such poor talent, what’s the use of raising your cultivation level? Being a genius means being more favored by the heavens!”
Thinking about this, Wang Wu was ecstatic, as he could foresee the various sects fighting for him, even including huge sects like the Canghai Sect and
Yuanshan Sect.
He was destined to soar high, and even though Yang Chen had seemed impressive earlier and stolen his limelight, it all amounted to nothing in the end.
Upon hearing Wang Wu’s provocation, Yang Chen laughed and said, “Oh, then I am curious to know how you obtained heaven’s favor.”
“Brother Wu, don’t mind him. This kid will reveal his true colors in the Display of Strength Assessment later. I heard my father say that the appearance of martial arts cultivation alone doesn’t mean anything. Since he has forcibly raised his cultivation through unsanctioned means, there must be endless problems with it, and his martial arts cultivation is just an empty shell!” A young genius flattered Wang Wu with a smile.
Wang Wu was very receptive and nodded, ‘Your name is Luo Zhen, right? Don’t worry, when I join the major sects, I will put in a good word for you.”
“Ah!” Luo Zhen’s eyes turned red with excitement upon hearing this, “Thank you, Brother Wu!”
Yang Chen watched this scene and couldn’t help but chuckle at how quickly people changed their minds.
However, he didn’t have time to think about it and instead pondered the talent assessment in his mind.
“It seems that the talent assessment in Beishan Main City is a bit worse than what I experienced in my previous life. I have Innate True Qi, which, although refined, should be enough for a very special talent, or at least a first-class talent. I didn’t expect it to be just third-class talent.” Yang Chen couldn’t help but be amazed..
