951 Second Round 4 (1/2)

The crowd was stunned for a bit, as though they must have heard incorrectly. This didn't make any sense!

At that point, everyone remembered Dyon's Jade Queen Bee honey… If he was only at the 7th grade now, didn't that mean he was only at the 8th grade before? Maybe even worse, maybe he was only born as a 9th grade talent?!

”To think he would waste heaven's treasures on such poor talent…” Someone in the crowd lamented.

”Even if he had only taken a single drop of that honey, that could have been used to create another 3rd grade warrior!”

”Ridiculously selfish.” Someone else agreed. ”If he wasn't so greedy, our quadrant could have finally risen up from the dregs of the rankings. Even a single extra drop could have created another heaven defying genius!”

The crowd inadvertently began to boo. To them, it was as though the things Dyon worked for, the things he earned, should be owned by them as a collective. Since his last name was Jafari, this was his home quadrant, how could he not have more thoughtfulness?

Truthfully speaking, Dyon didn't hide anything. His meridians were still a step away from entering the 6th grade, but he was currently still at the 7th grade. Faking this was just as hard as faking his age. Even if his energy cultivation was sealed, meridians weren't like the soul. They were a tangible part of the body. Although they were being used as the foundation for his inner world, they were, fundamentally, still a part of his body.

Dyon didn't mind the words and only casually stepped toward the title test.

”To think that you'd make such a bet with me while only being a mere 7th grade talent.” Donari's elder brother laughed as though he was seeing the funniest thing in the world. ”Truly a waste of heaven's treasures. Aren't you scared of being struck down for your overblown arrogance?”

As a member of the Caedes family, he had been tested to have 5th grade meridians, while Donari himself had 4th grade meridians. It was no wonder he was so arrogant.

If he won this bet, he would finally be at the same stage as his younger brother, and if he monopolized all 100 drops, there was even a chance he could step into the legendary 3rd grade stage and lead their quadrant to untold glory.

”Is there a need for this?” The golden robed elder spoke blandly. ”No title. Move on to the soul talent test and show some thought for those around you for once and stop wasting our time.”

Dyon's hand paused over the Presence test before he looked up at the elder standing before him.
