Chapter 255: Chapter 252: First-class Talent_1

He said this, not targeting Elder Hui, but Yang Chen.
When he heard Yang Chen’s name and verified it with the portrait he had obtained, even if he was a fool, he would know that Yang Chen was the young man he wanted to kill. Thinking of the grudges between them, Elder Qian was furious.
How dare a mere ant in the Spirit Martial Realm take his Dazzling Mind Bell? In fact, Yang Chen had already met the minimum requirements for his sect to recruit geniuses and even exceeded them by a lot. However, considering the enmity between him and Yang Chen, how could he possibly let Yang Chen join the Ming Emperor Sect? If he did, who would he ask for his precious Dazzling Mind Bell?
Realizing this, Elder Qian, with no intention to recruit himself, naturally didn’t mind mocking Elder Hui! He made Elder Hui’s position more resolute.
Elder Hui of the Taotu Sect naturally didn’t know what Elder Qian was thinking. He scratched his chin and chuckled, “If Elder Qian doesn’t want such a genius, we of the Taotu Sect won’t be polite.”
“I hope you will still think so later. Many geniuses, in order to participate in the Genius Selection Competition, recklessly take elixirs for cultivation without caring about their foundation. Such geniuses may seem dazzling for a moment, but they will naturally be exposed during the talent assessment!” Elder Qian sneered.
Elder Hui squinted slightly. Although Elder Qian’s words made him somewhat displeased, what he said wasn’t completely wrong.
Yang Chen’s martial arts cultivation reaching the Fourth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm at fifteen was indeed astonishing. Perhaps the other party had really disregarded their foundation and forcefully advanced? This kind of genius often had only one outcome – a moment of brilliance, but never progressing beyond the Spirit Martial Realm in their lifetime.
Such geniuses were naturally not what the Taotu Sect desired.
However, he was not in a hurry, maintaining his composure and observing cautiously.
On the other hand, an elder from the Huangshan Sect, one of the Six Sects, yawned and said, “Heh heh, I think this kid is decent enough.”
“Aren’t you guys of the Huangshan Sect mainly focused on alchemy? Elder Yu, how come you’re also here scouting martial artists? According to the usual practice, you should be scouting for alchemists at their assessment.” Elder Hui asked curiously.
“Heh heh, we have enough people there. What, is it only allowed for you to scout for martial arts talents, and not for our Huangshan Sect to get involved?” Elder Yu rolled his eyes.
“I’m just afraid that your alchemy-focused sect won’t be attractive enough to martial arts geniuses.” Elder Hui laughed.
“Bullshit, our sect has a countless number of elixirs, which martial arts genius wouldn’t want to join our Huangshan Sect?” Elder Yu, being poked at his sore spot, clenched his teeth and shouted angrily.
For a moment, the two began to quarrel verbally, and no one could stop them.
At the same time, the first assessment round ended.
Although there were some impressive talents afterwards, they were still inferior compared to Yang Chen’s Fourth Level of Spirit Martial Realm cultivation. Being only fifteen years old and having reached the Fourth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm naturally received everyone’s attention. Some sects that didn’t belong to the Three Hegemons and Six Sects had already started to order investigations on Yang Chen.
For the forces of the ‘Six Sects’ level, Yang Chen’s performance was not enough to attract their attention, but it was not the case for those smaller sects.
Besides the Three Hegemons and Six Sects, there were many other powerful sects in North Mountain County, but their strength was still somewhat inferior compared to the Six Sects.
Just like that, the first assessment ended, and after a brief rest, they entered the second round – Physique Assessment.
The examiner plainly said, “See this small room? It is a room specially designed to test your physique. Once you enter it, the room’s prohibitions will conduct a comprehensive examination of your body. The room will give the most accurate judgment on your physique!”
“At that time, I will divide the results determined by the room into nine levels of physique talents, with the ninth level being the worst and the first level being the best. As for special talents, heh, that represents unparalleled and incomparable gifts!” The examiner chuckled, clearly not expecting anyone among these youngsters to possess special talents.
Reaching second-grade talent would already be considered a special physique, while first-class talent would be that rare Divine Body Talent. As for special talents, they would be even more outstanding among Divine Body talents, something that could be seen only once in a hundred years. In several North Mountain County Selection Competitions, there might not even be one!
If it did appear, it would be a treasure that everyone would scramble for, and the entire Beishan Main City might not be able to remain calm.
Yang Chen looked at the small room, touched his chin, and pondered.
Such rooms for testing the physique were quite common, and facilities like this exam site were rather crude compared to what he had seen in his previous life. However, they were still capable of testing the Physique Talent, which was much better than being completely unable to test Physique Talent in places like the Great Wilderness.
And so, the examinees began to enter the room one by one.
“Ma Hongrui, fourth-class talent.” “Liu Haixing, fifth-class talent.”
“Third-tier talent.”
“Second-tier talent! ”
When this second-class talent appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Upon closer inspection, wasn’t this person Long Yun, the young man who was ridiculed at the beginning for only having the first level of the Spirit Martial Realm?
Long Yun originally had only the first level of the Spirit Martial Realm cultivation, which was despised by everyone. After all, at his age, having only the first level of the Spirit Martial Realm cultivation was indeed too low. Nobody thought much of his talent.
But who knew that his talent turned out to be a second -grade talent?
“This Long Yun, not bad!” Elder Hui of the Taotu Sect muttered, “With only the first level of the Spirit Martial Realm cultivation, it seems that his background is not very good. Otherwise, how could a talent like this be overlooked? This kid has potential and is worth fostering!”
Elder Hui’s eyes lit up with interest, apparently impressed by his talent!
Just when everyone thought that the second-grade talent would mark the end, within a cup of tea’s time, suddenly, the examiner’s eyes widened, followed by an announcement, “Wang Wu, first-class talent!”
When this statement fell, it caused an uproar.
“What!”
“First-class talent!”
Hearing the announcement of Wang Wu’s first-class talent, everyone was shocked.
Even in a Genius Selection Competition, there would be only a dozen first-class talents at most. It was unexpected that there would be one in this examination venue. This made many elders from sects who came to this examination venue to find geniuses smile happily, thinking that their choice to come here was correct!
Elder Qian of the Ming Emperor Sect’s eyes were almost popping out, “First-class talent, hahaha, good! This is a real genius, not like those trash who rely on means to forcefully raise their cultivation..”
