Chapter 28

~~

Lin Ziyuan had never seen Master Yi give such high praise to anyone before. After a brief moment of shock, a delighted smile bloomed on her face, and she quickly walked over to Master Yi’s side.

"Master Yi, how did Ye Wei do?" Lin Ziyuan’s beautiful face was filled with joy, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as she asked.

"His answers were nearly perfect! It seems I underestimated Ye Wei. At just thirteen years old, he has such a profound understanding of divine patterns!" Master Yi couldn’t help but marvel. When he was thirteen, he had only just begun to understand divine patterns!

This test was part of Master Yi’s disciple selection process. Generally, young people in their twenties who could answer 60% of the questions were considered very good, and those who could answer 70% were considered geniuses among geniuses.

Last year, a total of thirty-eight people from the entire Qingyue City took the test, but only four managed to answer 60% correctly, and none answered more than 70%.

Those four who answered 60% correctly ultimately failed the soul perception and divine pattern compatibility tests and thus did not become noble divine pattern masters.

Ye Wei not only answered all the questions correctly but did so at an incredibly fast speed!

"Ye Wei, next we will test your divine pattern compatibility. Given your soul perception and understanding of divine patterns, as long as your compatibility isn’t too poor, you will definitely become a divine pattern master in the future!" Master Yi smiled slightly, and even he, who was usually calm, was eager to test Ye Wei’s divine pattern compatibility.

After all, to become an outstanding divine pattern master, one must have soul perception, knowledge of divine patterns, and divine pattern compatibility—none of which can be missing!

"Okay!" Ye Wei nodded, his heart heavy with the affairs of the Ye family. He also wanted to get the results as soon as possible. Seeing Master Yi’s approving expression, Ye Wei felt a weight lifted from his heart.

"Ye Wei, you can do it!" Lin Ziyuan clenched her small fists, encouraging Ye Wei.

With outstanding soul perception and astonishing knowledge of divine patterns, as long as Ye Wei’s divine pattern compatibility isn’t too poor, he will definitely become a divine pattern master!

"Okay!"

Ye Wei smiled and nodded, his eyes shining with firm confidence.

"I know your mental sea talent is the lowest red level, but you don’t need to worry about this minor issue. For a divine pattern master, even the weakest mental sea talent is not a problem!" Master Yi looked at Ye Wei, his eyes gleaming with divine light. In his dark pupils, it seemed as if divine patterns were being annihilated and reborn, emitting a powerful and overwhelming aura that enveloped the entire room.

Ye Wei and Lin Ziyuan felt as if they were standing in a vast sea of divine patterns, drifting like a small boat.

What an astonishing power, far stronger than the Du family head, who was at the Seventh Rank of the Condensation Phase!

Is this Master Yi’s true strength? It’s too terrifying!

At this moment, in the room above, golden lotuses continuously bloomed and vanished, mysterious and indescribable. Faintly, it seemed as if grand structures stood atop the golden lotuses, with the sound of great bells resonating, exuding a sacred aura.

Could this be the legendary Holy Academy? It’s said that some exceptionally talented divine pattern masters possess the power to communicate with the Holy Academy!

"This is the ‘Crimson Flame Golden Lotus’ technique passed down from the Holy Academy, specifically used to test divine pattern compatibility. This technique has no rank; it is purely for testing divine pattern compatibility!"

"In the divine pattern master examination, using mental power, forming three Crimson Flame Golden Lotuses is considered passing, four is considered excellent, and five or more is extremely rare!" Master Yi looked at Ye Wei, his fingers moving slightly, using mental power as a pen and primordial energy as ink, drawing divine patterns in the air.

In an instant, Master Yi drew eighty-one divine patterns. The eighty-one divine patterns, glowing with a faint golden light, floated quietly in the air. Primordial energy flowed between the divine patterns, faintly forming four beautiful golden lotuses, each enveloped in fierce flames, emitting a powerful force!

Master Yi used the Crimson Flame Golden Lotus technique to form four golden lotuses, indicating that his divine pattern compatibility was excellent. Divine pattern compatibility does not improve with increasing strength; it is fixed for everyone. Master Yi’s talent was already considered very good!

"Ye Wei, now it’s your turn to use the Crimson Flame Golden Lotus technique!" Master Yi placed his hand on Ye Wei’s shoulder, and immediately, a vast and thick primordial energy surged into Ye Wei.

Lending primordial energy to others is a unique skill of divine pattern masters!

Ye Wei had not yet reached the Seventh Rank of the Apprentice level, so he could not use techniques on his own and had to rely on Master Yi’s primordial energy!

"Okay!" Ye Wei nodded again, this time more heavily, his brows furrowed with intense seriousness, his eyes fixed on the eighty-one divine patterns floating in the air.

Inhale—exhale—in—out!

Ye Wei’s chest rose and fell slightly, his breathing quick and tense. He couldn’t help but be nervous. Whether it was the soul perception test or the divine pattern knowledge test, Ye Wei had performed very well, even impressively. The divine pattern compatibility test was the final step. As long as he didn’t perform too poorly, Master Yi should take him as a disciple.

If he could become Master Yi’s disciple, Master Yi would likely help the Ye family, and the Ye family would no longer fear the Du family. The crisis would naturally be averted!

Ye Wei had always been the worst among the younger generation of the Ye family. He wanted to prove himself, to tell his grandfather, his seemingly strict but deeply caring uncle, and his parents that he, Ye Wei, could also support the Ye family!

This desire had deeply rooted itself in his bones and soul. Now, he finally had the opportunity. As long as he could become Master Yi’s disciple, he would be no worse than anyone else!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Ye Wei stared intently at the eighty-one divine patterns floating in the air, glowing with a faint golden light. He focused all his attention, only starting to act once he was sure he could replicate them. Using Master Yi’s primordial energy, Ye Wei carefully drew each divine pattern.

Ye Wei wrote very slowly and very carefully, his mental power surging. After a long time, he finally completed the eighty-one divine patterns!

The moment Ye Wei finished drawing the eighty-one divine patterns and activated the Crimson Flame Golden Lotus technique, Ye Wei, Lin Ziyuan, and Master Yi all held their breath involuntarily.

How many?

How many golden lotuses would Ye Wei’s Crimson Flame Golden Lotus technique produce? What level would his divine pattern compatibility reach? Given his previous impressive performance, Master Yi and Lin Ziyuan had high expectations for Ye Wei.

Thump, thump, thump!

Ye Wei’s heart was pounding, his eyes fixed on the eighty-one divine patterns. He was so nervous that he could hear the sound of his own blood flowing.

Time seemed to freeze for Ye Wei. He clenched his hands tightly, staring intently at the divine patterns he had drawn.
