He hadn't expected that Fu Xuelai, this delicate and frail girl, could pass the first test. Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.
Soon, the mysterious voice continued to ring out.
[The second test – the Talent Stone. Warriors, please step forward one by one and place your hand on the Talent Stone. The Talent Stones come in nine colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, white, and gold, arranged from lowest to highest. Those whose talent reaches cyan or higher have passed the second test.]
Talent Stones? So such things really exist in this world.
Jiang Wuyuan stared at the black stone that had suddenly appeared in the center of the hall, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"[This is a very ancient spiritual object.]" the sword spirit suddenly said.
[Teacher, have you ever seen this?]
"Of course I've seen it. In the era I was born, the cultivation world was extremely prosperous. Many sects and factions relied on it for talent testing," the sword spirit said leisurely. "It's just that it's been lost now."
Jiang Wuyuan nodded to himself.
Having a Blade Spirit is like having a walking encyclopedia.
"Since it's a talent test, I'll go first!" Huo Ling strode out with high spirits. "Ice, watch carefully! I'm here to show off!"
Huo Ling took a step forward and darted directly to the talent stone, then placed his hand on it.
The talent stone suddenly burst out with a blinding white light.
A beam of light shot into the sky, extremely dazzling.
[White, passed.]
"Hahahaha!" Huo Ling laughed happily, walked to Jiang Wuyuan's side, and put his arm around his shoulder. "How was it, Ice Cube? Did I embarrass you?"
Jiang Wuyuan glanced at him: "Whose brother are you?"
"You're wrong, you're wrong! You're my brother, you're my brother!"
The two members of the adventurer guild couldn't resist stepping forward as well.
[Green, not approved.]
[Orange, not approved.]
Two beams of light appeared first, and the two people were teleported away with disappointment on their faces.
Huo Ling clicked his tongue, not surprised by the result.
After all, he's middle-aged and still only at the martial arts master level. Anyone with a brain knows his talent can't be that great.
The mysterious female assassin followed closely behind.
[Blue, passed.]
Fu Xuelai walked up shyly.
[Blue, passed.]
Xiao Cheng glanced at Qiu Shaoqing and Jiang Wuyuan, then went over to take the test as well.
[Purple, passed.]
Looking at the stone, which glowed with an intense purple light interspersed with barely perceptible white, Jiang Wuyuan finally gave Xiao Cheng a serious look.
Qiu Shaoqing followed behind Xiao Cheng.
[Purple, passed.]
Jiang Wuyuan raised an eyebrow. With his spatial talent, this result was well-deserved.
Finally, Jiang Wuyuan walked up to the talent stone and placed his hand on it.
The talent stone felt cool to the touch and extremely comfortable, like a piece of jade.
Suddenly, a golden light, like that of the sun, appeared.
Jiang Wuyuan was enveloped in golden light, his upright figure resembling a god about to be born.
"Wow, that's amazing! No wonder it's called Ice Cube!" Huo Ling exclaimed excitedly.
Fu Xuelai's eyes widened as well.
The boy's face was already extremely handsome, but at this moment he looked even more captivating.
Xiao Cheng was shocked, but he managed to keep a straight face.
Only Qiu Shaoqing's eyes flashed with jealousy and resentment.
Jiang Wuyuan slowly turned his head, and the moment he met Qiu Shaoqing's gaze, a flash of golden light appeared in his eyes.
The next second, cracks appeared on the talent stone under Jiang Wuyuan's palm.
"[Quickly step back.]" the sword spirit suddenly said.
Without much hesitation, Jiang Wuyuan stepped back and retreated directly to Huo Ling's side.
[Teacher?] It seems like nothing happened.
[I just didn't want you to break the talent stone you finally found.]
Jiang Wuyuan lowered his eyes and stared intently, speechless. Sure enough, he saw the crack on the talent stone.
[...] He shouldn't need to pay compensation, right?
