Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 1906 - 1905: Dark Night Divine Son, Guang Qingye!
"Whoosh!"
Just as Lin Jian and the people of the Giant Spirit Sect were mocking the Immortal King Sect, in the distance, a torrent of light erupted from the top of the Stele.
It was red light!
However, the instant the red light burst forth, it directly broke through a thousand zhang, followed by a thousand zhang of blue, a thousand zhang of purple...
Black, five hundred zhang!!!
"Sect of the Heavenly River, Lul Yu, Black Aptitude, five hundred zhang!"
The enormous voice could be heard by everyone, echoing in all directions.
No one made a sound.
Black Aptitude at five hundred zhang was indeed the mark of a genius, far stronger than ordinary Cultivators.
However, in a Heavenly Talent Battle like this, such an aptitude really wasn’t enough to make others cheer.
Su Han no longer paid attention to Jiang Li, Lin Jian, and the others; his gaze fell on Supreme Ling Tian, Fann Tianling, Han Tengfei, and Han Junjie.
Without a doubt, among the hundred people who had gone up this round, these four Young Masters were the most eye-catching.
They didn’t hesitate either; all of them placed their palms on the Stele.
That astonishing radiance erupted immediately, racing past red, blue, purple...
Until it reached nine hundred zhang of black, then stopped at the same time!
However, this halt wasn’t a true stop; it only meant that terrifying speed of surpassing layers had stopped.
The black light was still surging, not yet ceasing.
They seemed to be competing with each other, and also seemed truly to be going all out for that first place in the individual rankings—either way, the light continued straining with all its might.
Nine hundred and ten zhang, nine hundred and twenty zhang, nine hundred and thirty zhang...
Nine hundred and ninety zhang, one thousand zhang!!!
"Boom!"
After one thousand zhang, the golden Stele flashed with a bang, and beams of light, each a zhang tall, erupted once more.
This golden brilliance overshadowed all the other Steles; it really looked like four blazing suns, dazzling and blinding.
The majority of gazes were gathered on them.
When it finally stopped, the result was at last announced by that booming voice.
"Sect of the Supreme Void, Fire God Young Master Han Tengfei, Golden Aptitude, one hundred and twenty-six zhang!"
"Divine Dao Religion, Young Master Yun Chong Han Junjie, Golden Aptitude, one hundred and twenty-six zhang!"
"Pure Spirit Sect, Prince Fantianling of the Sea Suppression, Golden Aptitude, one hundred and twenty-eight zhang!"
"Qing Emperor Sect, Young Master Xuantian Supreme Ling Tian, Golden Aptitude, one hundred and thirty zhang!"
Whoosh!
Noise instantly surged up, and a torrent of discussion spread out.
"As expected of the Top Ten Young Masters, all of them reached Golden Aptitude, and even beyond a hundred zhang!"
"They really are strong. For me, breaking through Purple Qualification to reach Black Aptitude is already extremely difficult, but for them, it’s as easy as breathing."
"I didn’t expect Fire God Young Master and Young Master Yun Chong to have exactly the same aptitude. Prince of the Sea Suppression and Young Master Xuantian are a bit stronger, but only slightly. Looks like the Top Ten Young Masters are all about the same level."
"When will I be able to stand there too, the focus of all, have them call out some ’So-and-So Young Master’ title for me, and make the whole world tremble at my name?"
Envy, jealousy...
All kinds of emotions spilled out from the mouths of Disciples of the various Sects.
On that Stele, a light-screen was projected, displaying everyone’s ranking.
Young Master Xuantian Supreme Ling Tian was ranked First!
And even the last person had Black Aptitude at one hundred and ten zhang, fully qualified to participate in the second phase of the assessment.
After Supreme Ling Tian and the others stepped down, another hundred people came before the Stele and began testing.
As the tests continued, Su Han finally learned the identities of those Heavenly Talents.
Nine of the Top Ten Divine Sons had arrived.
The entire Top Ten Fairies were present.
The Top Ten Demon Sons, likewise, had nine present.
These Demon Children were all Mages, but that testing Stele could also test their Magic Aptitude and then convert it into the corresponding Martial Path Aptitude.
Of course, when displayed on the Stele, it was all shown as light representing Martial Path Aptitude.
Without question, every one of them had reached Golden Aptitude.
The three strongest among them were:
Guang Qingye, Dark Night Divine Son, Golden Aptitude, three hundred and twenty-six zhang!
Ziwei Fairy Yingg Caiyi, Golden Aptitude, three hundred and twenty-four zhang!
Haoxuan Demon Child Zhanh Penghui, Golden Aptitude, three hundred and thirteen zhang!
On the big light-screen, the names of these three were clearly ranked in the top three, making everyone who saw them feel a sense of awe.
At their level, their aptitudes were almost the same; if there was any difference in strength, it would definitely come down to personal fortune and understanding.
"Ziwei Fairy is so beautiful... If I could marry her, it’d be worth it even if I died on the spot!"
"Relax, even if you died ten times over, she still wouldn’t marry you."
"They say the Dark Night Divine Son is handsome, dashing, and captivating—seeing him today, it’s really true!"
"Haoxuan Demon Child is even more shocking. It’s said his Magic Cultivation has already reached the level of a Fifth Order Grand Magus and that he can fight head-on with the Divine Sea Realm—terrifyingly strong!"
"Alas, there are so many Heavenly Talents, so why is there no place for me..."
Sighs and envious murmurs rose all around. Su Han listened and secretly shook his head.
Aptitude was something that really couldn’t be forced. It was inborn, and everyone was helpless before it.
Of course, there were some Rare Treasures that could improve one’s aptitude, but such things could only be encountered by chance. Let alone ordinary powers—even the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects would find them hard to obtain.
Unless one’s fortune defied the heavens, it was better not even to think about it.
...
The rankings shown on the big light-screen only went up to two hundred names.
And the top fifty were almost entirely monopolized by the Top Ten Demon Sons, Top Ten Young Masters, Top Ten Fairies, and even members of the Top Ten Young Masters’ circle.
Only a very few others occupied a handful of spots.
Su Han could see clearly that over on the Divine Dao Religion’s side, the one who possessed a Phantom Spirit Body was named "Song Que," and he was one of them!
Ranked thirteenth, Golden Aptitude, two hundred and ninety-eight zhang!
As for Supreme Ling Tian and the others, who had once ranked First, they had already been pushed down to beyond thirtieth.
Of course, they wouldn’t feel angry over that. At this level, what mattered most was personal fortune and comprehension; rankings no longer determined strength.
By the end of the first phase of assessment, it was still Guang Qingye, Dark Night Divine Son, who ranked First.
No one could shake the top three spots.
"Fengjie, how about the two of us brothers go up together?"
When only the last few dozen remained, Lin Jian finally stepped out from within the Qing Emperor Sect, and his gaze instantly fell on Lin Fengjie.
His words put Lin Fengjie in an impossible position.
Many people knew of the matters between the two brothers.
If Lin Fengjie refused at this moment, it would clearly show he feared Lin Jian.
But if Lin Fengjie agreed, then without a doubt, his aptitude definitely wouldn’t be stronger than Lin Jian’s—otherwise Lin Jian would never have become one of the Top Ten Young Masters.
When that time came, he would inevitably suffer Lin Jian’s ridicule again.
He couldn’t go, but he couldn’t not go either!
