”Bloodline Purity & Grade: Five. Primordial Bloodline POTENTIAL - Eight. Projected MAXIMUM Potential in Bloodline: Demigod-Class.”
”27.”
Regardless of whether they were human or beast, they all had intense reactions bordering on insanity. As for Yan Zaizen, his understanding of the bestial path wasn't too detailed, but his understanding of the number '27' gave many, many clues regarding the significance of his results. In comparison to the lord-class, Bajie earned fourteen more points and was labeled with the potential of a Demigod!
Yan Zaizen felt that the demigod-class was similar to the potential to become a Heavenly Monarch. If that's true, then this Bajie truly was outstanding. However, potential was potential. It was a unit of measurement of one's possible achievements under a pristine and trouble-free path. Oftentimes, a cultivator would experience potential setbacks or even premature death.
The commotion brought about by Bajie's results was not minor. It actually empowered others, particularly the other male geniuses, to see their results in comparison. As Yan Zaizen saw them saunter up to the monolith with boundless momentum, even his own heart raced.
”The youthful…” he commented like an old man who lived countless years. He was observing as if he wasn't even a participating himself. From beginning to end, Yan Zaizen never considered taking this trial seriously. The determining of one's future further his indifference. He didn't need or desire anyone telling him how far his path was.
His path was his own, not for some trial spirit's or an object to decide.
Unfortunately, despite stepping up with youthful vigor and boundless momentum, everyone who took the exam was left disappointed. Not a single one of them had a Commander-class, Lord-class, or Demigod-class rating, only reaching the General-class or Noble-class - a class just shy of Lord-class.
The only three who have yet to take their test was Yan Zaizen, Ma Xiuren, and the humanoid boy that Yan Zaizen suspected was the hero of this trial.
”He's quite calm.” The young man with black hair, black eyes, slim physique, and handsome appearance while radiating a once-in-a-lifetime genius aura simply stood in observation. For some odd reason, Yan Zaizen felt his heart throbbing in anticipation.
”According to the stories, the hero will awe the crowd and obtain the eye of the beauty,” looking at Ma Xiuren, his brows furrowed lightly. It couldn't be so stereotypical, right?
However, the young man only calmly observed the area, sweeping his gaze on Ma Xiuren and him, obviously having no intention of going.
”Haaa...I guess I'm supposed to be the stepping stone for the hero?” As he sighed in helplessness, a flash of dark-amber light shot through his amber-gold pupils, ”isn't this a bad mindset?” Recalling this distinctive sensation of inferiority, he furrowed his brows even further now.
This young man was instilling a sense of inferiority. It wasn't like being before a king or sovereign, but more so an innate feeling of inferiority. Pondering more, ”it's not a dao...after all, my dao is at the peak of the upper-tier. A dao's influence can be fought by another dao and typically sensed easily, but it's more like my soul flame was affected. As if, deep within, my instincts relegated me as inferior.”
After deducing this much, his eyes revealed a rare vigilance. He wasn't affected by soul strikes, but what if it's an aura-based soul art that affected one's subconscious?
Before he could ponder further, Ma Xiuren stepped up. She arrived before the monolith amidst the eyes of all, including the male who swore a heavenly oath earlier. One could see a deep nervousness in his gaze, but also unwillingness and desire. After all, this is only one of the monoliths and thus can't decide the winner of their wager.
Placing her jade-like hands on the monolith, she calmly closed her eyes and felt the surging of unknown energy surround her. After a while, it receded.
”...” Ma Xiuren seems to be slightly special. Yan Zaizen recalled their kiss and how her body felt. It was an astonishing feeling but it also made him curious. He felt Zhou Xiuhei's aura within her. This was distinct, very much so.
”Could it be?' As he thought of this, he furrowed his brows sooner. If Ma Xiuren was Zhou Xiuhei's daughter, it's unlikely he would simply allow them to act so recklessly earlier. It must be something more special than just that.
”Physique Grade - Five, Physique POTENTIAL - Eight, Energy Compatibility - SUPERIOR, Essence Compatibility - SUPERIOR. Projected MAXIMUM Potential in Energy & Essence Path: Commander-Class!”
”23.”
”...” The crowd here didn't have such an intense reaction, as if they expected this.
As for Yan Zaizen, he was calm. The moment he saw the results, he realized Ma Xiuren's circumstance.
Ma Xiuren turned to Yan Zaizen, glancing at his area to see his response. She received a slight smile and a thumbs up. To her, Yan Zaizen was likely the person she trusted the most here. Not because of that kiss, but because she trusted no one else.
”So, there could be such a thing?” Yan Zaizen muttered slightly, turning his gaze towards the black-haired young man. The sensation of inferiority hadn't erupted, but he still felt a subtle force attempting to influence his soul.
