One!
When everyone saw this number, they were completely stunned. Some even rubbed their eyes frantically, suspecting they had misread.
But no matter how unbelievable it was to them, it was the truth.
The young man's talent value in terms of strength was indeed only one point.
"No… impossible! How could this be?"
The young man roared madly, his eyes even bloodshot. How could he accept such a result?
He had mocked others for having eight points before, and now he only had… one point!
"This testing instrument must be faulty, it must be!"
The young man's eyes turned red, and he instantly condensed a surge of true energy in his hand, smashing it fiercely at the orb.
But the next second!
Whoosh!
A red light shot out from the center of the magic array, directly piercing his heart.
"No…"
A mournful roar came from his mouth, but it was too late.
Bang!
Dead!
Easily annihilated by the magic array just like that!
"Ah! Feng'er!"
At the Xuan Tian Sect's encampment, an old man strode out, exuding a terrifying aura, rushing towards the place where the young man fell.
He was actually a Martial Emperor!
And also an elder of the Xuan Tian Sect.
"Damn it! A mere magic array dares to take my grandson's life, I'll break you!"
The old man's anger surged, and just as he was about to attack the magic array, another red light carrying the intent of destruction streaked across the sky. Its speed had already surpassed the naked eye.
"Ah!"
A scream!
A bloody hole!
The old man's brow was directly pierced.
Martial Emperor!
He too had no power to resist and was mercilessly annihilated.
Hiss!
Seeing this scene, everyone felt a chill down their spines, and the magic array before them instantly felt eerie, ferocious, and terrifying.
With the old man dead, even the mighty Xuan Tian Sect had no one who dared to provoke it further. Instead, they even retreated dozens of meters from the magic array.
For fear of being affected.
In the distance, on a flat stone surface, a man and a woman stood side by side.
"Young Master! Isn't this talent test a bit too strict?" Du Yuemian asked after witnessing the events.
"No! If we only look at the talent values of these two, it's not considered strict!" Ye Ming smiled.
"This…"
This wasn't considered strict?
Du Yuemian simply couldn't understand.
After all, a Martial Ancestor only had eight points.
And the young man before him only had one point.
From any perspective, the standard for the test seemed to be exceeding the norm.
Ye Ming turned sideways and explained with a smile, "These two are exceptions!"
"Exceptions?"
This made Du Yuemian even more confused.
"That's right!" Ye Ming nodded, pointing to the man who had only eight talent points before, and said, "This person's talent is indeed not very good! The reason he was able to reach the Martial Ancestor realm was not due to talent, but his own perseverance and hard work. Therefore…"
Therefore, his talent value would naturally not be high.
"So that's how it is!"
After hearing the explanation, Du Yuemian finally understood what was going on, and finally sighed, "Then it's truly a pity for him, there's no test for perseverance!"
Ye Ming did not comment much on this.
For some things, while perseverance is important, the talent one possesses is the necessary standard for their upper limit of ability.
"What about that young man?" Du Yuemian asked.
In her opinion, no matter how poor his talent was, it shouldn't have been only one point!
Putting aside his character, such a result, she believed, would be unacceptable to anyone.
"Him!"
Speaking of the young man, Ye Ming's tone clearly softened, saying, "Actually, his talent was not bad, but… he just didn't cherish it properly!"
"Didn't cherish it properly?"
What was going on, Du Yuemian was very curious.
"Let me put it this way, the reason that young man was able to possess the cultivation of a Martial King was entirely piled up with pills! And his originally decent talent was gradually eroded away by taking too many pills!" Ye Ming shook his head repeatedly and continued, "That's why he was finally measured to have a talent value of only one point!"
"This…"
After hearing this, Du Yuemian fell silent.
Good talent was not cherished, but destroyed by his own hands.
Such a thing was truly lamentable.
…
Dragon Phoenix Pavilion Encampment.
"Yao'er! Gu'er! You two go!"
Luo Xia looked at Xi Yao and Jiang Gu and said in a low voice.
"Uncle-Master! I…"
At this moment, even Jiang Gu, as the Dragon Son of the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion, had lost some of his confidence after witnessing what happened before.
One needed sixty points to obtain the opportunity.
What kind of talent was required to achieve this!
"Gu'er! As the Dragon Son of our Dragon Phoenix Pavilion, do you lack even this little bit of confidence?" Seeing the expression on Jiang Gu's face, Luo Xia felt slightly disappointed.
"No! I…"
"Alright! Go!"
Luo Xia waved her hand, not allowing him to continue.
"Yes!"
With a heavy heart, Jiang Gu retreated.
When Xi Yao was also about to leave, Luo Xia spoke again, "Yao'er! Don't forget what I told you before!"
"Yes! Master!"
Hearing this, Xi Yao's delicate body trembled, and then she also left.
At the same time, the other three super forces also dispatched their people. And among the Ten Great First-Class Sects, the true prodigies also made their appearance.
Among them, the most noteworthy was the Death Spirit Valley.
Because the disciples of the Death Spirit Valley in the inner region, including their young valley master, had all died before, the young generation's prodigies there were basically wiped out.
Therefore, the people dispatched by the Death Spirit Valley at this moment were not many.
However, before that, their Valley Master seemed to have sent an order back to the valley. It was expected that the gap in the younger generation would be filled before long.
As Du Yuemian said at the beginning, You Li did not have only one son.
…
Back inside the magic array, after the two bloody incidents, everyone became quiet. When undergoing the talent test, they were extremely respectful and composed.
Now, to ensure that the testing order would not be chaotic again, everyone began to queue up voluntarily, achieving maximum efficiency.
Half an hour later.
Nearly a hundred more ancient martial artists underwent testing, but the results were all disappointing, or even despairing.
Because among those hundred ancient martial artists, not a single one had a talent value that reached sixty points.
"Can anyone really reach sixty points?"
"Yeah! So far, the highest is just over fifty, it's really too difficult!"
"Alas! The opportunities here are not meant for us!"
"Look! The disciples of the Xuan Tian Sect are here again! This time it seems to be their chief disciple, Shao Yu!"
"Shao Yu! Is that the genius who achieved Martial King at fourteen and entered Martial Ancestor at twenty?"
"That's right, it's him!"
"…"
Before the speed testing orb, a young man holding a feather fan, with a distinguished demeanor, smiled faintly and placed his left hand on the orb.
Whoosh!
The next second, a dazzling green light shot up into the sky.
