“Oh, everyone has gathered.” The City Lord nodded his head. The incident with Mr. Wu had led him to become startled at every single small thing, until the people from Honorable Martial Group came. Only then could he sleep smoothly .

His face expressed a smile: “I’ve invited Mr. Kong to test their talents.”

A middle aged man wearing a white martial robe smiled and nodded his head. His martial robe had a beautiful and delicate golden thread flower embroidery on it. With a graceful manner, he instructed: “Then let us begin.”

“Yes.” An elder immediately replied, he stood in front of the students, a bright halo suddenly lit up in his hand. With a count on his fingers, the halo scattered into many halos, like an angel’s halo, towards the students.

Seeing some students with the intention to dodge, the elder shouted deeply: “Do not move!”

His volume was not loud, but it was like thunder exploding in the ears of everybody, and all of the students dared not move.

The halos flew up into the sky, rapidly becoming big, after that dropping downwards, every halo dropping and trapping every student within by the feet.

After a moment, the colors of the halos started to change into many different colors.

Tang Tian curiously stared at the halo on his feet, the ball of light flashing into a black color aura.

Hearing the elder shout: “All the martial artists with golden halos, step forward ten steps.”

Only five people, Sima Xiang Shan, Liang Qiu, Han Bing Ning, Ah Mo Li, as well as one more unknown student, and his face was at a loss. If Zhou Peng was still alive, he would definitely recognize him, as he was the one who was always being bullied by Zhou Peng; Gu Xiaoyu.

When the Principal of Andrew Academy saw Gu Xiaoyu being chose, his face held an expression of ecstasy.

“Silver halos, step forward seven steps.”

This time the number of students who walked out was higher, Wang Zhen was one of the more popular ones in the numerous population. The rest were scarcely left behind, only seven people.

“Bronze Halos, step forward three steps.”

Six of them walked out, only Tang Tian was left in his original position.

Tang Tian looked around to realise suddenly it seemed like he was the only one whose halo was black.

The elder turned and reported to the middle man in a low voice: “Master, there are five with outstanding qualities, forty-two with excellent qualities, and six who just passed. There was one who failed.”

Everybody’s expressions turned odd. The one that the elder mentioned who failed could only be Tang Tian, because Tang Tian stood all alone on one side.

Everyone felt an indescribable joy in their hearts.

Tang Tian’s talent was bad?

Was this a joke…? It had to be… or was it mockery…?

Tang Tian paid no attention and continued to look around curiously. This halo was amusing, it had all sorts of colours. To the Honorable Martial Group, Tang Tian did not mind. If he did not hear that the Heaven Road was dangerous, he had planned to perfect his other martial techniques. Now he could find Qian Hui at the Immortal Constellation Mountain.

Ah Mo Li looked with his eyes and shouted: “This must be wrong! How can Fundamental Tang be a failure? It is impossible! Impossible!”

The elder’s face turned dull: “I have been analyzing the qualifications for over twenty years and I have never been wrong.”

Han Bing Ning’s cold voice rang: “Can Old Mister test him again?”

Liang Qiu’s injuries on the shoulder were better, with a calm voice like a stream of water he smiled: “Old Mister is using a treasure yeah? Sometimes, treasures can be easily moved.”

Sima Xiang Shan was beaming with smiles yet his voice seemed to float from a gloomy floor: “If young lad Tang’s talents are considered bad, then how can this be endured!”

The elder had a bitter expression. This was the first time he had such a situation, and it was right in front of Master Kong. he was embarrassed. If it were his students, he would have lost his temper, but these people, they were all talented, and they might have a chance to enter the Honorable Martial Group.

Tang Tian heard what they said, and out came an ‘Ah’, and a face of curiousity: “Old Mister did not predict wrongly. My talent is really bad!”

Tang Tian was very clear that his talent was not good. He was well-balanced in all aspects, and he had no outstanding aspects. As for his body features, he benefitted from his five years of fundamental cultivation, but compared to Ah Mo Li’s tough body, he was no match.

After hearing what he said, they all blushed red, and not one of them did not want to puke.

Please, I could let it go if you acted like a gigolo, but if you wanted to fake your talents too, what do you take all of us for? Idiots…?

Ah Mo Li opened his eyes wide: “Fundamental Tang, you’re a godlike young lad. How can your talent be poor?”

“What has talent got to do with being a godlike young lad?” Tang Tian disapproved.

Everybody tilted their heads in confusion one after another, they could not look straight, this, this, this….was basically openly challenging everybody’s intellect…..

You thought we would believe such a… believe such a thing… if we believed you, we would be idiots!

If it were another person who said that, everyone would have run forward and trampled him to death. But it was Tang Tian, the one whose reputation was on the rise, who said it. Everyone else could only just tolerate it but this feeling… it was not pleasant!

The elder looked at their reactions and seemed to hesitate for a bit. Could there really be a problem?

He did not say a second word. With a flick of his fingers, a ray of bedazzling halo emerged and engulfed Tang Tian.

All eyes were on that halo.

It was shiny black!
