Chapter 61 - Chapter 61

Nine days of testing had gone by, and the last day had arrived. The nine powers had all recruited some members, of which the Zither palace had only taken three musician cultivators who had scored six points.

The Heaven empire was the next power in line with only having chosen sixteen people.

Of the 900 participants, there were only twenty people who had a score of five points while five had a score of six, with one person having two scores of six for both the Devil sect and the Sword Palace. It was a man with a sword on his back, and he always radiated strong killing intent, and his name was Ye Feng. He eventually chose the devil sect as the Sword palace was now as extremely strict. There was also one female who scored eight points for the Sun empire. Her name was Song Yangxin, and the elder coming from the Sun empire invited her personally. It was known to the nine powers that a score of eight indicated that she would become a core disciple at the minimum and had the potential of becoming a holy daughter if she didn't die.

It was now time to test the top hundred. The first group entered the test, and after an hour, they had finished the test. There was one rare sapling among them, who had scored five points for the Beast empire. The second group entered next, and one person managed to score seven points for the Sword Palace. She was a female who had a metal attributed light sword as her profound spirit. She was a genius who ranked thirtieth on the genius ranking, and her name was Hong Meiling.

The third group had produced two people with scores of six for both the Zither palace and the Heaven empire. The person, who joined the Zither palace was a female with a normal zither profound spirit, while the person who joined the Heaven empire was a bulky male with giant as his profound spirit.

All the people who had joined the zither palace until now were females, of which three had the zither as their profound spirit, and one had a flute profound spirit.

The fourth group produced, another talent with a score of eight points for the Heaven empire. It was the biggest participant among the thousand. His name is Di Tian, and he has an earth golem as his profound spirit. He is also a person ranked on the genius rankings, and he ranked sixteenth despite only being eighteen years old. He was known for his powerful body that allowed him to battle a saint beast with his physical strength alone. Di Tian had also scored six points for the Five elements palace, due to his affinity for the earth element.

The fifth group was next, but they only managed to produce one person with a score of six for the Five elements palace. It was then time for the sixth group, which consisted of Feng Xue, Chu Lingxin, and Hua Ye.

Jiang Mang wished them good luck before they entered the test. When the group entered the first test, they had to absorb spiritual energy that came from the sun. This energy was off the yang type and leaned towards the fire element. Hua Ye could hardly absorb the energy, while Chu Lingxin and Feng Xue both absorbed a substantial amount. Feng Xue absorbed about fifty percent more than Chu Lingxin.

Hua Ye scored one point, while Chu Lingxin scored five points, and Feng Xue scored six. These results pleased the Sun empire, who already started discussing the two girls. The next test consisted of a painting of a snowy landscape, a huge tree, and a full moon. Test participants who could comprehend the hidden meaning behind the painting could score five points, while those grasped pieces of a technique scored six or seven points, while those who could comprehend a part of the dao left inside the painting would score eight or more points.

Hua Ye managed to comprehend the hidden meaning behind the painting and scored five points, Feng Xue only grasped some points of its hidden meaning and scored three points. Chu Lingxin comprehended an incomplete sword technique which used the soft intent. She scored seven points, which made the female elder of the Moon empire pleasantly surprised.

During the third test had Chu Lingxin been unable to connect to any beast and scored zero pints while Hua Ye and Feng Xue both connected with the beast that corresponded with their profound spirits. Hua Ye scored six points, while Feng Xue scored a total of nine points, which threw the crowd and elders in disarray as people who scored nine points would almost always become holy children of their powers.

Hua Ye scored well during the fourth test with five points, while the girls scored one and two points. He scored the most points during the evaluation of the devil sect by scoring seven points and the two girls scored zero points.

During the sixth test, Hua Ye scored zero points, while the two girls scored equally six points.

During the seventh test, Chu Lingxin shined as her talent with swords was monstrous. She scored a whopping nine points, which could rival Feng Xue. This threw the crowd again in disarray, but Jiang Mang stayed calm as he couldn't see the scoreboard.

The three managed to score six points for the Five elements palace, while the two girls scored four points for the Zither palace, while Hua Ye scored zero for the Zither Palace. The elder of the zither palace looked at Hua Ye peculiarly because she managed to see that he was charmed and was in love due to a love seed that had fused inside his soul. The elder from the Holy maiden sect noticed this too but didn't show it on her face.

Hua Ye eventually joined the devil sect, while Feng Xue joined the Beast empire and Chu Lingxin joined the Sword Palace. This group was the most talented group until now, with two girls who scored nine points and multiple other scores above five while one person scored seven points and also had other scores worth six points.

The elders of the Beast empire and the Sword Palace both treated the two girls with extreme attention as they would probably become holy children. Jiang Mang was also happy for his friends, and could now test himself without worries.
