" Close your eyes, place your palms over it"s surface, and let your mana flow through it. "Resounding the words exclaimed by the old Arlong within his brains. Mark placed his plams over the mysterious object and let his mana flow through its surface, waiting excitedly to see the results.
Unlike his expectations, mark had received a " ding! " immediately from the system, as a regular warning.
" Ding! A serious warning to host. Never show your true potential, if host could not guarantee his safety after reveling it! "
It was true that exhibiting a potential that could threaten others, will result in jealousy and would only bring more harm to him than good.
Since the spectators had already been eyeing on marks relic. They already had a strong resolve to begin with, to obtain the invaluable weapon from his hands.
Things like artifacts and relics are unique. Once binded to a master, they may never be able to bind to the other users, unless it"s previous contract with its master had been terminated.
I.e. the previous master had either voluntarily gave up his bond with it, or his bond with it had been separated after its masters death.
Since a thing like relic was not a thing to be forsaken easily, and what if they were not able to force mark in giving up his relics owners.h.i.+p.
Killing mark would only be the suitable alternative, for them to make the relic owner less, and also for it to come under their hold.
Convincing the relic to bind with them though was nearly impossible under normal measures, but that a thing of future to worry about.
Had the potential exhibited by mark threatened their status, the onset of the disaster befalling mark would only be intensified.
As the major forces are always compet.i.tive and would never keep their hands still and allow a threat like mark to grow under their noses, and be nurtured further by flame glory family, and who knows if he could become the next farthur for flame glory, standing at its supporting pillar, that could very well alter the power structure on this floor again.
" Though I could understand about your reasoning, aren"t these spectators bound by a restriction, which prevented from leaking the information out. And I also want to know the potential of the body I am reincarnated with.
I believe that the mysterious power that erupted within my body, for a short while, during the fight against selvira had to do some thing with my bloodline instead! "
It was true that the spectators were restricted by their vow, and couldn"t exclaim the things happened on the inside, to their respective forces on the outside.
But still, it didn"t leave the possibility of upper management"s playing underhanded tricks in their place. As there were many other holes for them to use, to suck out the information from the souls of the very spectators.
Yes, there was a thing called soul search. Though it could let a person read the memories of others, it would adversely unstabilize the abused person"s foundation and also r.e.t.a.r.d his future progress in cultivation.
The case of a relic was sensitive and who knows that these major forces would not just stop at sacrificing a hundred of their kin, if necessary the number could very well increase to thousands or even more.
Mark had even guessed the possibility of hidden recording objects, similar to the ones old arlong had been using before.
Since the matter of rankers and chosen twenty were always managed by the authorities of upper management. This masters test which was a shortcut to that list of rankers hadn"t to be an exception either.
Who knows whether it had been secretly monitored by them, the third party behind the scenes.
The sensation, which mark had felt few days before in his battle against selvira was an unforgettable one.
He felt that each cells in his body were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with life, bursting out vitality from it. Each of his muscle fibers burning with tons of energy made him stronger by a multiple number of times. His perception had increased sharply, which made his reaction speed incredibly faster.
The advantages brought about by the slayers t.i.tle had paled in comparison to it. Mark had guessed that it had to do with something, related to the bloodline he had inherited from his parents.
If the true potential of his body was really greater than his expectations, that sensation could very well be related to it, if not he was just blindly making a.s.sumptions.
" Ding! Since host wishes to measure his potential, let the system a.n.a.lyze the object at close, and see weather system may alter it"s functions, if possible! "
Mark had placed his palms over the object, he had been standing on the very same position for more than a dozen of seconds. Yet there wasn"t a response from the device, visible to the spectators viewing from a distance.
Since the object had been working perfectly for many millennium to begin with, there hasn"t been a case where it had malfunctioned before.
Since the possibility of it being malfunctioned is less and if there wasn"t a response immediately after injecting ones mana, then the only possible outcome were two extreme cases.
One being a worthless trash that didn"t even had a proper potential to begin with, while the other was a case of peerless genius, whose potential was so high that the device had been taking a long time measuring it.
" Ding! Responding to host, the systems a.n.a.lyze had been completed. After a.n.a.lysing the object at close, some of it"s features resembles similar to awakening apparatus, host had seen in the main land before!
The potential meter had displaced the crystal stones arrangement, and a strange object, restricted to systems access had been found next to it. "
" Awakening apparatus! " Mark clearly remembered that process as if it had just happened yesterday.
That was the very moment he obtained both his laws, the trump cards which had qualitatively boosted his strength to a new realm.
" System! What would be the measure of my potential according to your a.n.a.lysis? If it"s low, then do not even bother yourself by exclaiming it out in my brains. "
Mark had exclaimed internally, he was both exited and nervous at this very moment. But his eyes brimmed with anxiety shortly, when he heard the words rang out by systems.
" Ding! According to the systems a.n.a.lysis the hosts potential comes around at the upper peak of dark phase of black grade potential. Which is an a grade lower than highest, the colourless prism grade potential! "
Since he was the first person to test his potential, mark doesn"t know the exact grade of the potential an average person would get.
After the systems warning, mark couldn"t sigh that his body"s potential was high, since it was second next to the highest. But still he couldn"t reveal it out, proudly to the spectators before him.
If his shown potential was too less, he may not even he able to clear this masters test to begin with, nevertheless getting on chosen twenty list, within the short time quested out by the system.
By simply looking at the strange object before him, mark could say that, this device had many components that appeared extremely foreign to his eyes.
But of the many such components present on it, three such parts were intricately combined with others, to let him measure his potential.
A flat inclined surface at the front, where he had to place his palm was present, and it was black and glossy in external appearance.
Two amber coloured and rod shaped conductors that were originating from one corner of the inclined plane, and it was also an eye catching piece, as it had directly made its connection deep into a graded tubular structure. Which had different colors at different sections of it. Presumably the potential meter itself.
Mark could very well see seven distinct colors on the potential meter. White, green, blue, yellow, red, black and lastly colourless one whose appearance is that of a gla.s.sy prism.
With the potential of white at the rock bottom, and the colourless one placed at the top, they correspond to the grades of potentials a person could have.
" According to the system, my present body had a potential of dark phase of black grade, I.e. highest even among my own grade of black itself.
Since every person had to be born with a potential, the category of the white naturally may be the grade for wastes, the ones who who barely managed to unlock their cores, and become an aura master at best through their own efforts.
Then the potential green, blue and yellow had to correspond with grand master, lord and king cla.s.ses respectively. The category of red had to be for the geniuses with emperor grade potential.
Since I have a black grade potential I may very well reach the realm, that surpa.s.ses the emperor cla.s.s itself through my own efforts.
But with the existence of system, taking about such trivial matter of potential is worthless, at least before her.
If sufficient amount of decent targets were to be killed, leaving behind the valuable experience points in return. Forget about the black grade potential even colourless prism grade may pale in comparison to me.
Since the potential of an emperor cla.s.s is uncommon yet not a rare one for the young masters of major forces, showing out the potential of red should suffice me in pa.s.sing this test. "
" System! Let the potential of red grade be displayed! " Mark exclaimed internally, there was an expression of satisfaction on his face, " Since my potential is naturally a black order, that mysterious energy had to be originated originally from my bloodline itself. Though I am not entirely sure about it, my instincts still say that the system had made me reincarnate, but it was not free of cost, this trouble and burden of carrying that name of white is still not known, but I am sure that it isn"t a small one to begin with.

After mark had chosen to display the potential of red, to the spectators. The potential meter started vibrating gently at first, but later it turned vigorous and came to halt at once, like nothing major had happened to begin with.
The tubular structure which had been dull, without a light to be emitted, had erupted into a dazzling light of red. Which had almost illuminated the entire surroundings and overthrown the artificial light created by a great array it the platform itself.
The eyes of the spectators had almost turned blind from its intensity, followed by an expression of terror over their face, they were looking at mark as if they had see a ghost, that looked extremely terrifying.
The rest of the token holders who had earlierly made a disdained face to mark, cursing at him for getting the chance easily, which they had worked hard and striven for months months to get.
They had judged him completely unworthy for it before, but as of now they felt ashamed for their shortsightedness earlier. If mark was still considered to be ineligible for getting this chance, then who else could say that he"s probably eligible any more.
It was as if a tight slap had been slapped over their face repeatedly, the each time the red light dazzles over their face.
The eyes of the poor looking saber girl, who had a positive intent over mark from the beginning had turned bright.
She expected him to turn great but never expected to exceed her expectations itself.
Old Arlong had dropped the book within his hands under shock, he had a sense of disbelief ran his eyes. " R... r... red grade! "
During his days as a high manager, he had tested the potential of many prodigies to begin with. But never had he expected that, before his soul left his mortal body, he could one day witness the light of red from the mysterious object in his eyes, he muttered " How long had it been, since a person was able to lit... Red as his potential.
If yellow is the potential of a person who could transcend the emperor realm, what does the red grade symbolizes?
Is this the reason why the prideful relic had forgo it"s pride and submitted itself to a young kid, and accepted him as its master!
If he is allowed to grow what sort of ripples could he create in this floor. May be, its effect may very well reach the floors present above us. But ironically the old b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from upper management would never let him grow! "
Arlong sighed at last thinking. " Young man let"s see weather you could create miracles in this floor, or will be buried under the ugly schemes of those old b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from upper management. This old man would very well wish for the former come true, but still he is help less before them. "
