The moment the young lady, place her hands on the orb, the orb let out a blinding blue light, when compared to the other female participant, Lan Ruoyin, the light was noticeably brighter. A moment later, her results were revealed for all to see.
"Li Xiaoyun, Aptitude 7."
Everyone was shocked by this aptitude, but no one dared to make a noise yet as the test was still ongoing.
Shortly After, the female participant made her way to the orb on the left, and she took a deep breath before placing her hand gently on the orb. A sharp pain assaulted her body as currents of violent energy made its way throughout her body even reaching her spirit core on her chest before the orb eventually stopped sending the energy and displayed her results. Throughout this ordeal she gritted her teeth and bear the pain. After the pain subsided her results resounded in her ears.
"Li Xiaoyun, Elemental Affinity: Water."
The young lady was instantly surprised that she succeeded on her first try. She was even happy that the element that she had awoken to was water. As it fits with her nature greatly than any other type of element. This young lady like Lin Hao also came from a common family but unlike Lin Hao, she came here on her own volition since she had no family member currently alive.
…
On the big platform, all the other participants were suddenly in an uproar from this result. Some were shocked, others were approving of the results and the ones who had already went and took their tests were jealous of this female participant because of her high aptitude.
"Another seventh-grade talent! This is the Genius Talent, how can two appear at the same time, on the same year."
"I know right, things are getting interesting this year. I hope I would be that lucky when I take my test."
"Hmph, I hope you get trash aptitude."
"What?! What's wrong with you? Do we have enmity against each other? Why are you jinxing my results?"
"Do you not know? His results were terrible, he got 2 in aptitude and didn't even awaken his element, Hahaha!"
"So that's why."
After understanding the other participant's plight, this person only shook his head and did not bother to argue with the other participant.
…
Meanwhile, standing on a certain location the big platform, Lan Ruoyin was staring daggers at the female participant who was currently undergoing her test on testing platform and upon hearing her results, she was shocked.
She found out that this female participant, not only was more popular amongst the male participants than she was, but she also surpassed her in terms of talent. She felt an inexplicable hatred toward this female participant who took her limelight away from her.
Young master Zhang, who was not far away from Lan Ruoyin's location, stood up after seeing that Li Xiaoyun came down from the testing platform. It was finally his turn to take the test. Before he took a step though, he subconsciously glance at the direction of where Lan Ruoyin was standing only to see an unsightly look on Lan Ruoyin's face.
He was confused at first and thought that something had happened to her, but then he quickly realized that she was staring at the female participant just now as she made that face. Upon seeing this, he immediately understood the situation and he only shook his head as he proceeded to make his way toward the testing platform.
Young master Zhang arrived on the top of the testing platform and did not waste any time before placing his hand on the testing orb. As usual, the orb let out blinding blue light and shortly after his results were shown.
"Zhang Yan, Aptitude 8."
The white-beard Dean said it calmly despite it being the highest aptitude that was received during this examination— almost as if he was unfazed by this occurrence or perhaps there is a reason why he acted like so.
Unlike the white-beard Dean, the participants on the big platform held their breath as they waited for the test to continue.
A few moments later, Zhang Yan stood in front of the orb on the left as he immediately placed his hand on it arrogantly, he seemed to be unfazed by the pain going through body as he waited patiently for his result. There was an intense heat followed by the ground shaking in the surrounding. Shortly after the results were displayed for all to see.
"Zhang Yan, Elemental Affinity: Fire and Earth."
This cause all the other participants on the big platform to be dumbfounded. Even the white-beard Dean was a little surprised, but he still acted unfazed by this result as he announced it for all to hear.
…
"Holy Fuck!"
Someone cursed out loudly immediately upon hearing the results from the Dean. Everyone else was momentarily stunned from this result, not knowing how to act until they heard that this participant cursing out loud snapping them back to reality, then they immediately engaged in discussion.
"Fuck, who is this Zhang Yan, how can he have two elemental affinities when others can't even awaken one?!" Someone said loudly.
"You don't know, that is the Young master from the Capital City's Zhang family." Someone answered.
"What?! You mean that Zhang family, no wonder, no wonder."
"Still, this Zhang Yan not only got the highest aptitude thus far, but he even awakened two elements achieving the legendary— [Dual Awakening]."
"That's right, how can he be that lucky. It is said that only after reaching the Spirit Enlightened Grandmaster Realm can one attempt to awaken another element, yet this Zhang Yan had achieved it this early on."
"That may be true but from what I heard, having two elements doesn't necessarily mean a good thing as one needed to spend more time to practice both elements at the same time. There is also the resources needed to cultivate to worry about."
"What are you talking about? This is the Zhang family we are talking about; How could they be lacking in cultivation resources— they are the richest family in the Capital City excluding the Leng family of course."
"Uh…I forgot about that."
While the participants were engaged in their own discussion about the Zhang family and Zhang Yan's result. Zhang Yan proceeded to stand there and look at the other participants with a cold and smug look on his face as if he were above everyone else and they were not worth mentioning in front of him. Not even that Lin Hao or that female participant just now can compare to him in terms of talent.
A few moments of indulging in the reactions from the other participants, Zhang Yan made his way down and proceeded to sit down with his eyes closed as he could not be bothered to pay attention to the rest of the examination anymore. He believed that no one could topple his results from just now.
…
Meanwhile on the other side of the big platform, where Shenyan and Wang Lei were currently standing. Wang Lei looked at the number on his identity token and it was finally his turn, and he turned his head to look at Shenyan before saying.
"Shenyan, it's finally my turn now. I will be back." Wang Lei said to him.
"Hm. Good luck." Shenyan nodded before briefly replying.
With a solemn look on his face, Wang Lei then made his way towards the testing platform that was about a few meters away from where they were standing currently— his heart beating faster in anticipation and anxiousness.
