Wang Shouchuan grew even more pleased at the sight of Old Tao’s stupefied expression.
Both were clear on the terror of the Thousand Prajna. In fact, like Old Tao, Wang Shouchuan used to think nobody would be able to endure its effects.
This had left Old Wang feeling a bit disgruntled. No matter how magnificent or unique the design, without any practical value, it was only an elaborate toy.
But with the truth revealed that the Thousand Prajna was indeed of use, how could he possibly contain his joy? Even more satisfying was that his disciple was the one to pull through the test.
After a while, Old Tao regained his senses and sighed. “You hit the jackpot!”
Able to bear the Thousand Prajna—who wouldn’t want such an admirable disciple with a strong-as-steel willpower? Old Tao’s eyes became slightly red.
“Isn’t my disciple your disciple?” Old Wang sensed his friend’s disappointment and deliberately pointed out, “I’ve come all the way here. Are you still going to keep this up?”
Old Tao laughed and pointed at Old Wang. “It’s time to let your disciple take advantage of me!”
Old Wang chortled together with his friend. “Of course, it would be a waste not to!”
“No problem,” Old Tao readily promised, “Find me if you have any problems. As long as your disciple is here, I won’t mistreat him.”
“Then perfect timing—there’s something I need your advice on.” Old Wang’s expression took a serious turn as he handed over the test results to Old Tao. “Take a look at this test results for me.”
With some curiosity, Old Tao received it and glanced over the contents before he burst out in a shriek, “Now you’re just bragging, aren’t you? Seven strong palaces out of eight—what a big gain!”
“But he almost never made it into the Induction Ground due to his weak aptitude.” Old Wang feigned modesty, but inside, he was secretly delighted.
“Aptitude? That’s all those guys care about.” Old Tao smirked disapprovingly. He and Old Wang agreed that the Induction Ground’s testing methods were overly simplistic and lacking.
Old Wang added, “Look at the test results for his sky palace.”
“Sky palace?” Old Tao’s gaze swept across the record before questioning softly, “It doesn’t seem quite right. Is there something wrong with your Thousand Prajna? How could there be a sky palace that fluctuates in strength?”
Vexed, Old Wang replied, “Yeah, I found it strange, too. If only his sky palace was strong—he’d be the hegemon of the palaces.”
Old Tao understood Wang’s underlying thoughts and attempted to console him. “Don’t let your ambition get the better of you. It’s already rare to see seven, strong palaces after all. If you can’t stop worrying, why not try testing it again? Your Thousand Prajna is spoilt, that’s for sure. Or else, how is that even after teaching training basics for so long, we’ve never heard of a fluctuating sky palace?”
“Again?” Old Tao asked helplessly. “You should’ve seen that fellow’s expression when I made that suggestion. He was ready to flee!”
“Hahaha!” Old Tao burst into laughter at the thought. “I would do the same! You yourself started crying like a chrysanthemum after three minutes.”
Old Wang joined in the laughter. “Don’t even mention it—I’m afraid I’ll destroy him. There’s a lot of time for a retest, but I only have one disciple, so I’ll have to take it easy.”
