The first group to be tested ca from Starheaven Prefecture, the strongest prefecture under the Heavenly Sword Sect’s control. Their results were indeed impressive. Among their ten geniuses, three reached more than eight rings, while the remaining seven all surpassed seven rings.
Such a result could already be considered quite outstanding.
Next ca Moonveil Prefecture, which ranked second among the fifty prefectures. This prefecture was undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching groups present, because Princess Yuehan was among them.
Princess Yuehan’s aptitude did not disappoint anyone.
When she placed her palm on the Spirit Talent Pillar, the light climbed rapidly and finally reached nine rings.
It was only half a ring lower than Xue Wuyan’s superior result.
Everyone present was shocked by Princess Yuehan’s aptitude. She possessed a noble background, breathtaking beauty, graceful temperant, and extraordinary talent. With so many advantages gathered in one person, she truly made others feel both admiration and awe.
Han Mingxuan, who had confessed to Princess Yuehan earlier, flushed red with sha and humiliation.
How laughable.
He had rely obtained an aptitude of a little more than eight rings, yet he had already beco so inflated that he dared to confess to Princess Yuehan in front of everyone. In reality, no matter whether one compared background, talent, temperant, or future prospects, he and Princess Yuehan were not on the sa level at all.
"Princess Yuehan, nine rings. Grade, excellent."
The silver-haired elder’s face revealed a rare smile, and his gaze toward Princess Yuehan beca noticeably warr.
The Moonveil Ancient Kingdom behind Princess Yuehan was already a major force under the Heavenly Sword Sect’s control, and it was not an ordinary one either. It was a power that even the Heavenly Sword Sect had to treat with so courtesy and draw closer through various ans. Now that Princess Yuehan herself had displayed such outstanding aptitude, it was easy to imagine that once she entered the Heavenly Sword Sect, she would quickly beco an important figure.
Even soone like the silver-haired elder had to show her a certain degree of politeness.
Afterward, the test continued.
Among the fifty prefectures, many talented individuals appeared one after another. This was especially true for the top ten major prefectures, where geniuses were far more nurous. Several participants with aptitudes exceeding eight rings appeared, causing the atmosphere in the plaza to rise again and again.
"Next, Su Fengyan."
Finally, the aptitude test gradually neared its end, and it was the turn of Li Yun and the others from the Southern Martial Domain.
The mont the silver-haired elder’s voice rang out, everyone’s attention imdiately shifted toward Li Yun’s group.
"Hm? What is going on with the Southern Martial Domain? Aside from one person at the 1st level of the Mortal Core Realm, the rest are all still in the Essence Qi Realm. There is even soone at the 1st level of the Essence Qi Realm."
"Even though the Southern Martial Domain has always been one of the weakest domains, it is still a domain in na. Being this weak is truly outrageous. They actually brought a 1st level Essence Qi Realm cultivator here just to fill the numbers. This is really embarrassing."
"The Southern Martial Domain, Mistcloud Prefecture, and Cloudriver Prefecture have always competed for the position of weakest every assessnt. From the looks of it, the weakest this ti will definitely be the Southern Martial Domain."
After sensing the cultivation levels of Li Yun and the others, especially Li Yun’s cultivation at only the 1st level of the Essence Qi Realm, the crowd first froze in surprise, then burst into loud mocking laughter.
Those who could participate in this assessnt were basically geniuses who had reached the Mortal Core Realm. People like Huang Chen and Li Hao, who were at the peak of the Essence Qi Realm, were already considered barely acceptable. However, for soone like Li Yun, who was only at the 1st level of the Essence Qi Realm, to appear in this assessnt was simply a joke in their eyes.
Although cultivation level did not absolutely represent talent, in most cases, those with higher cultivation possessed stronger aptitude, while those with lower cultivation usually did not have much potential.
Even many cultivators at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd levels of the Mortal Core Realm had only managed to obtain results slightly above six rings. In that case, what kind of result could a 1st level Essence Qi Realm cultivator like Li Yun possibly achieve?
Most likely, he would fail on the spot and be eliminated imdiately.
The surrounding mockery did not cause the slightest change in Li Yun’s expression. He stood calmly in place, as if the strange gazes and mocking voices around him had nothing to do with him.
He even looked toward Su Fengyan and said with a faint smile, "Brother Su, good luck."
"Mm."
Su Fengyan nodded solemnly. He took a deep breath, steadied his mind, then stepped forward and placed his palm on the Spirit Talent Pillar.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Layers of light quickly lit up on the Spirit Talent Pillar. The radiance climbed upward at a steady speed, soon surpassing the seventh ring before finally stopping at seven and a half rings.
"Seven and a half rings. This guy is actually not bad."
"He is the only one worth looking at. Among the five people from the Southern Martial Domain, he is the only one who has reached the 1st level of the Mortal Core Realm, so he is clearly the most talented one among them. In the entire Southern Martial Domain, he is probably the only person who can barely be presented. The rest are all worthless."
"That makes sense. I am more curious to see what kind of aptitude those Essence Qi Realm fellows will have."
Su Fengyan’s result surprised the crowd for a brief mont, but that surprise did not last long. Soon, their gazes shifted back toward Li Yun, Huang Chen, Li Hao, Qin Baoluo, and the others.
In their eyes, the results of these Essence Qi Realm cultivators were the real spectacle they were waiting for.
