Chapter 507: Chapter 454: Puppet Man_2
Lin Feng was slightly surprised as well; if only a Level Two talent could elicit this response, how monstrous would a Level Seven talent be.
This test pillar was similar to the ones in the Hundred Extremes Tournament, but obviously, the grading standards were much higher.
"Level Two?"
The youth in blue was also shocked by his own test result, his face a picture of stunned disbelief.
Originally, he had guessed that his talent would be no problem at Level Four or above, but now it was completely different. The grading standards of this test pillar were simply too terrifying! For a moment, the youth in blue looked incredibly disheartened.
"Continue testing for attributes," the voice of the middle-aged puppet sounded.
Immediately after, the youth in blue approached the nine tablets, beginning to test each one.
The nine stone tablets represented: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Light, and Dark. After testing, the first five tablets lit up with radiance, while the last four showed no response.
Among the first five stone tablets, apart from the Earth Element tablet which lit up with three rings of light, the others only manifested two rings, indicating that the youth in blue’s highest Earth Attribute was merely Level Three.
"Attribute talent, not qualified!"
The middle-aged puppet’s icy voice rang out, and with a wave of his arm, the youth in blue was immediately ejected from Heavenly Vault Divine Palace and then teleported away.
Everyone fell silent; once unqualified, one would be immediately eliminated!
"I’ll give it a try too!"
Another genius stepped up to test.
"Talent Level Three, unqualified! Attribute talent Level Two, unqualified!" The middle-aged puppet’s cold voice sounded once again.
"I’ll go!"
"Talent Level Two, unqualified! Attribute talent Level Two, unqualified!"
"Talent Level Two, unqualified! Attribute talent Level Four, qualified!"
"...Unqualified!"
After the youth in blue finished his test, one genius after another went up to test, but most of them, whether it was for talent or attribute talent, were only Level Four or below, and were ruthlessly eliminated.
One by one, the geniuses went to test full of hope but ultimately left with faces full of disappointment.
The Test Tablet tested for talent, and the Attribute Tablets for attributes. As long as one reached Level Four in either, they were considered qualified. Yet even so, only one in ten people passed.
"Lin Feng, I’ll go test it out first!" Wu Sheng stepped forward with large strides and began his test.
His palm touched the Test Pillar, and three pale-white lights appeared: Talent Level Three.
"Talent Level Three, unqualified!" announced the middle-aged puppet, causing Wu Sheng’s eyebrows to furrow slightly.
Then Wu Sheng began to test his attributes, and when his hand touched the Gold Element tablet, it immediately erupted with four rings of light: Gold Attribute Level Four!
A thrill went through Wu Sheng’s heart; reaching Level Four in Gold Attribute meant he was qualified!
Next, Wu Sheng tested the remaining eight attributes; only the Water Element and Wood Element tablets lit up with a single ring, while the other tablets remained unresponsive.
"Gold Attribute Level Four, qualified!" The middle-aged puppet nodded.
Wu Sheng was elated to finally be qualified.
After that, people continually stepped up to test, but most were eliminated, with only a few qualifying.
Then, it was Wenren Tianyi’s turn to test.
Wenren Tianyi, coming to the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace for the first time, made everyone very curious about what level his talent would be.
Wenren Tianyi’s palm pressed against the Test Pillar, and immediately, it released five rings of light.
"Talent Level Five, qualified!" said the middle-aged puppet.
Everyone was astounded; Wenren Tianyi’s talent was actually as high as Level Five – the highest seen so far.
Wenren Tianyi’s Level Five talent qualified him, but it was still insufficient to be regarded as an Official Disciple of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace.
Subsequently, Wenren Tianyi began testing his attribute talents.
Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder – seven attributes – Wenren Tianyi was pretty average, either Level Two or Three, or he had no attribute at all.
However, when Wenren Tianyi tested for Light Attribute, the Light Attribute Tablet suddenly dazzled with brilliance, astonishingly unleashing seven bright white rings.
Light Attribute talent, Level Seven!
The entire place went suddenly quiet, followed by an uproar.
"My God! A Level Seven Light Attribute Talent, he can become an Official Disciple now!"
"Amazing! Becoming an Official Disciple, he will gain a powerful Martial Arts inheritance!"
"He’s skyrocketing to fame; Wenren Tianyi’s future is boundless!"
"..."
There was a buzz of discussion among the crowd, a mix of shock, envy, and most of all, jealousy.
In the history of the East Continent, the number of people who had become Official Disciples of Heavenly Vault Divine Palace could be counted on one hand, and in the past few hundred years, it hasn’t exceeded the number that can be counted on one hand. However, every single person who had become an Official Disciple, provided they do not die an untimely death, was bound to become one of the Peak powerhouses of the entire Mainland.
It is said that there is a Martial Arts Emperor of the East Continent who is an Official Disciple of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, having received its inheritance over two hundred years ago.
Moreover, it is rumored that the number one prodigy on the Thousand Pride List of the East Continent is also an Official Disciple of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace.
In short, becoming an Official Disciple of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace means a future without limits!
Lei Xiao, Chu Zhantian, Jiang Taixu, and Xue Mo, each of them had a glint in their eyes and clenched their fists tightly, as Wenren Tianyi put enormous pressure on them.
Lin Feng’s eyes slightly narrowed; he had a bit of confidence in his own Talent, but he had never tested his Attribute Talent before.
"Haha! Great! I never expected that my Heavenly Vault Divine Palace would once again have an Official Disciple!"
The middle-aged puppet laughed out loud, looking at Wenren Tianyi, with eyes full of admiration.
This puppet, though it was made of some unknown metal, its expressions were no different from those of a real person.
Wenren Tianyi, with a confident smile on his face and a proud look in his eyes, had become an Official Disciple, so he did not continue to test for the Dark Attribute.
"What is your name?" the puppet middle-aged man looked at Wenren Tianyi and asked.
"Wenren Tianyi!" Wenren Tianyi gave a respectful bow to the middle-aged puppet and said.
"Good! From this moment on, you shall become a Disciple of one of the Nine Palaces of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, the ’Radiant Palace’!"
The middle-aged puppet said: "You no longer need to undergo the following tests, of course, you can choose to continue taking the tests, and if you perform well, there could be special rewards."
"I will continue the tests!"
Wenren Tianyi pondered for a moment and then spoke; since there were rewards, how could he possibly miss out on them.
The middle-aged puppet nodded.
Then, the testing continued, and just as Wenren Tianyi stepped down, Xue Mo, also unwilling to show any weakness, strode to the center.
Xue Mo did not believe his Talent was less than Wenren Tianyi’s and was certainly not willing to let him steal the spotlight.
In front of the Test Pillar, Xue Mo stretched out his blood-colored palm and pressed it down fiercely.
Buzz~~
The Test Pillar vibrated, and immediately light burst forth, forming six milky white rings of light.
A Level Six Talent!
The crowd was once again stirred, buzzing with discussions; a Level Six Talent, even higher than Wenren Tianyi, meant he could directly become a Registered Disciple.
Even Wenren Tianyi couldn’t help raising his eyebrows, showing a serious expression.
"Qualified!" the middle-aged puppet’s voice echoed again.
Xue Mo’s mouth curved into a sinister smile, and then he began testing his Attributes.
However, Xue Mo’s Attribute Talent was not as good as Wenren Tianyi’s, with only his Water Attribute and Dark Attribute reaching Level Four, and his highest in other Attributes was only Level Three.
This caused Xue Mo’s expression to darken once more. Although his Talent test was higher than Wenren Tianyi’s, his Attribute Talent was inadequate, not reaching the standard to become an Official Disciple.
"Qualified! You may directly become a Registered Disciple! Whether you continue the tests or not is up to you."
The middle-aged puppet said with a smile.
The puppet was in a good mood, as it was already a feat if a Registered Disciple appeared in the previous tests! This batch had just begun, and not only was there a Registered Disciple, but there was also an Official Disciple.
"I’ll continue too!" Xue Mo glanced at Wenren Tianyi – if he performed excellently in the upcoming tests, there would still be hope to become an Official Disciple.
Next came Chu Zhantian, Jiang Taixu, and Lei Xiao, each stepping forward to test.
The three of them had already tested in the previous batch, and a retest now was merely a formality.
All three had a Level Five Talent and were all qualified, but none of them reached the criteria to become a Registered Disciple. As for Attribute Talent, other than Lei Xiao’s Thunder Attribute Talent reaching Level Five, the other two had one or two Attributes at Level Four.
