Chapter 70

The资质测灵碑 was now shining with a dazzling white light, illuminating the changing expressions of everyone present. The four large characters "Upper Class" floated above the资质测灵碑, heralding a certain glory!

The faces of many officials were quite colorful, their expressions changing rapidly, turning them into chameleons for a moment.

Even Ye Qianqiu, seated on the dragon throne, let out a light exclamation, seemingly not expecting that Murong Kexin would be a genius of upper-class资质!

In fact, although there were测灵碑s in the palace, many people had not undergone the test.

Some did not have the qualifications, while others... did not wish to let others know. After all, a hidden genius could, at certain times, demonstrate more value than one who was widely known!

But things were different now.

Yun Lao had personally come to recruit disciples for the Supreme Heaven. It was no longer possible to hide or conceal. The only way to enter the Holy Sect was to shine and catch everyone's attention!

After a while.

A chorus of congratulations immediately echoed through the hall, with some officials looking at Murong Kexin's father with envious eyes.

"Lord Murong, congratulations, congratulations!"

"Old Murong, you've been hiding deep! I'm Kexin's godfather, and you even kept it from me!" someone feigned anger.

Some people had less pleasant expressions, clearly not on good terms with the Murong family.

"Thank you, thank you!" Murong Qi smiled like a blooming flower, his eyes squinting with delight. One could easily imagine his satisfaction at this moment.

Murong Kexin was also flushed with excitement, her whole body bathed in a milky white light, as if she had undergone a transformation, exuding a unique aura that drew attention.

She had long known that her资质 was quite good, or she wouldn't have dared to step forward. However, she had only tested at home, and the测灵碑 there could only measure up to the middle class.

It was only now that Murong Kexin realized she was of upper-class资质!

Although it was only upper-class初级, it was far superior to middle class, not even in the same league!

"Very good," Yun Lao stroked his beard, his face full of smiles.

"Damn, she's of upper-class资质, which means she's stronger than me," Jiang Han muttered.

"What did you say?" Yan Yumo caught a few words, curious.

Jiang Han's expression turned serious, and he immediately put on a profound smile, saying, "Not bad, not bad! Although she's not as good as me, it's still quite impressive!"

"..." Yan Yumo was certain that Jiang Han had said something different just now, but since she didn't hear clearly, she didn't know how to refute him and could only hum softly.

"Congratulations, Kexin, you've passed... the first test."

"The first test?" Everyone was taken aback, looking at Yun Lao with uncertainty.

"Then... what about the second test?" Murong Kexin asked timidly.

"The second test... won't be conducted here," Yun Lao smiled. "I will take those who pass to the Holy Sect, and someone will arrange it then."

This made everyone uneasy. Even upper-class资质 was just a stepping stone, and they could imagine how difficult the second test would be!

"What if someone fails the second test?" someone asked hesitantly.

"Fail?" Yun Lao smiled faintly. "If you fail, someone will send you back! You don't need to worry about that!"

"What if someone makes a mistake, and you miss out on a genius?" another person asked.

"Genius?" Yun Lao glanced coldly at everyone. "A genius is not determined by资质 alone!"

Everyone was stunned, and many furrowed their brows, some confused, others thoughtful.

Jiang Han was also shaken to the core. Yun Lao's words echoed in his mind, like a thunderclap, his eyes filled with confusion.

A genius is not determined by资质 alone... Jiang Han murmured, and gradually, the confusion in his eyes faded, becoming clearer.

Indeed!

In fact, a genius is multifaceted. The continent has a long history, and there are certainly many people with strong资质, but only a few are recorded in history books!

On the path to the peak of martial arts, many will fall. Only those who survive are the winners, the true "geniuses"!

Yun Lao glanced at Jiang Han, and seeing the change in his expression, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Kexin, come here."

Yun Lao's voice rang out again. He gently waved his hand, indicating that Murong Kexin should stand beside him, then looked up. "Next, who will come?"

There was another moment of silence, and suddenly, a young man stepped forward confidently, declaring loudly, "I will!"

Jiang Han's eyebrows raised. This young man was the son of the One-Word Shoulder King, the first to arrive at the hall for the examination today.

His gaze flicked to the One-Word Shoulder King's face, which was calm and focused, showing no doubt about his son.

"Seems this young man is not simple," Jiang Han thought to himself.

"Um, what's your name?" Yun Lao's eyes suddenly lit up, then he spoke calmly.

"Meeting you, Elder Yun, my name is Ye Ruhong," the young man said clearly and loudly.

Indeed!

Jiang Han nodded inwardly, confirming his suspicions. The One-Word Shoulder King was indeed a member of the royal family. In that case, Ye Ruhong was somewhat related to him!

At the same time, Jiang Han noticed that almost everyone's gaze had changed, with some of the young men looking at Ye Ruhong with a hint of wariness.

"Interesting," Jiang Han thought, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

It seems Ye Ruhong is not an easy opponent!

Even the honest appearance he was showing now was probably deliberate, aiming to leave a good impression on Yun Lao.

"But, you're too confident. With Yun Lao's discernment... how could you hide anything from him..." Jiang Han muttered to himself.

"Ye Ruhong, um, go ahead," Yun Lao nodded.

Ye Ruhong did not hesitate, walking straight to the stone tablet. His eyes shone with determination, and without a moment's hesitation, he placed his hand on it.

Boom!

Almost instantly, the资质测灵碑 erupted with an even more dazzling white light than before, turning the entire hall milky white!

Everyone's eyes narrowed almost simultaneously. This was too much of a reaction! They all looked up, staring at the top of the资质测灵碑, waiting for the specific grade to appear.

The milky white light slowly condensed in the air, gradually forming.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the light, not blinking, as if afraid to miss the moment when the four characters appeared!

Jiang Han was no exception. The light that had erupted from the测灵碑 earlier had startled him. After all, even Murong Kexin's upper-class初级资质 had only produced a white light that enveloped her!

This made him even more nervous, his eyes fixed on the top of the测灵碑, fully focused.

The milky white light in the air traced out, capturing everyone's attention.

Boom!

Four large characters suddenly appeared above the stone tablet. Everyone's eyes widened in shock, their expressions filled with disbelief.

"Actually..."

Jiang Han also swallowed hard, the huge floating characters in the air impacting his mind.

Although Jiang Han didn't care much about资质, seeing these four characters still made his heart tremble uncontrollably!
