951 Second Round 4 (2/2)

Wasting time? The tests took a split second at most. He wasted more time stalling Dyon than Dyon would have taking the test. There should probably be a limit to bias, shouldn't there?

However, the elder didn't see it this way. As he saw it, before this, he had to be careful in case Dyon was an outstanding talent. He was a mere outer sect elder, if he offended a future inner or core elder, he wouldn't be able to raise his head ever again. But, now that he saw Dyon's talent was only of the 7th grade, what did he have to fear? Such a talent wouldn't even be able to become an elder at all, at most they would be become a pavilion caretaker. He could treat people like that however he wanted.

Even better, considering Dyon age and cultivation, he might not even make it into the sect at all. What did he had to worry about?

The 'boos' of the crowd grew, as though the words of the elder only fueled them further.

The only ones who said nothing were those of the Unseen Peak. After seeing Dyon so easily destroy Donari, and seeing the fact he was only 29, they understood something clearly. Even if Dyon had poor talent in energy cultivation, his body cultivation talent was so outstanding that he could already stand near the top of the younger generation at the tender age of 29. They weren't so stupid as to ride the wave the golden robed elder and the crowd was on.

In the cultivation world, as long as one had talent in one path, it could easily make up for the others. For example, if Dyon had body cultivation far exceeding those of his age, then he entered the tower, the rewards he received would be able to boost his energy cultivation to the level he was at now. The same would be true if he was talented in energy cultivation, but not body cultivation.

Dyon's eyes met the golden robed elder's. ”I'm far too bored to deal with you. I just hope you can justify yourself to your superiors.”

”My superiors? Why would they care for such a talentless youth with eyes placed on top of his head?” The elder sneered. ”As your elder, it is my duty to inform you that one must know when to lower themselves and show respect. Even if you were talented, that would be necessary, let alone the fact that you aren't.”

Dyon smiled. ”And when I need the advice of a mere outer sect elder, I'll be sure to let you know.”

The golden robed elder's features twisted and contorted, his muscles bulging as he weighed the pros and cons of slapping this youth to death right now.

However, in the time he was thinking, Dyon's hand landed on the crystal and a radiant light erupted and covered the coliseum in such a strong Presence that many felt their knees go weak…

In the moment, the 98th quadrant had witnessed something for the first time… The Presence of a King!
