Chapter 78 - Test for ChampionHundred Feet Gate, peak of trials, summit!
"tarin, what"s going on?" Seeing that he represented the increase in potential and talent, Yu Haoran had doubts in his heart and could only ask the tarin in his sea of consciousness for confirmation.
"Yu Haoran, I know what"s going on to increase your potential and talent, but this involves a legendary secret, once you are completely safe, I will tell you this secret in detail."
Hearing tarin"s explanation, Yu Haoran"s depressed mood immediately eased up.
Ever since he met the tarin, as long as it was a secret, he would never tell him about it due to his lack of cultivation and strength.
It was a good thing that he didn"t do so this time. Otherwise, the joy of returning to his previous life would have been greatly reduced.
Once the colors representing talent and potential also reach a deep red, the four colors would gradually become lighter. This meant that Yu Haoran"s comprehensive test was about to end.
When the four colours on Yu Haoran"s body completely disappeared, other than waves of amazement and discussion, not a single person in the upper echelons of the Hundred Feet Gate made any sort of attempt to rope in or make any promises like how they did with the peerless young lady just now.
In regards to this, not only was Yu Haoran not angry, he was actually extremely happy.
He didn"t want to face a bunch of selfish people with a forced smile because of the predicament he was in. He wanted to be an enemy in the future.
"Junior Yu, although I know that your comprehension and perseverance will definitely be very outstanding, I didn"t expect your talent and potential to increase by two small ranks in a short three days."
Looking at Yu Haoran who loosened his hands, allowed his Inherent Stone to turn into dust, and let it slide from his fingers, Huang Zonghua sighed.
"During the sect selection compet.i.tion, I had a mental knot in my heart. Now that the knot in my heart has been resolved, it"s normal for my talent and potential to increase."
Regarding the explanation of how his Inherent Skill and potential color had increased, Yu Haoran had already thought of a countermeasure long ago, so he said with a calm expression.
"So that"s what happened!" After hearing Yu Haoran"s explanation, Huang Zonghua had a look of realization on his face.
Following that, he glanced at his surroundings, then quietly pointed to Feng Qingyun who was standing by himself and said.
"Junior brother Yu, that expert with a refined aura is the teacher of Senior Brother Chu and I. He is none other than Sword King Feng Qingyun!"
Although Huang Zonghua did not say it explicitly, Yu Haoran knew what he meant, so he smiled.
"Senior Brother Huang, I once told Senior Brother Chu that the reason I chose to enter the Hundred Feet Gate was because I had a dream before the sect"s selection compet.i.tion."
"In my dream, not only have I joined the Hundred Feet Gate, I have also been fortunate enough to enter the tutelage of Feng Qingyun, the Unparalleled Sword King. That"s why I have followed my dreams."
"That"s good, that"s good!" After obtaining Yu Haoran"s promise, Huang Zonghua praised with a face full of smiles.
As for Wu Zhengjun, Huang Zonghua did not try to persuade him. This was because he knew that even if he didn"t say anything, he would still choose to become his teacher"s disciple.
Since Yu Haoran had chosen to join their side, then Wu Zhengjun definitely would not vote for him.
Following that, he took out a new talent stone, pa.s.sed it in front of Wu Zhengjun, and reminded him.
"Junior Martial Brother Wu, squeeze a drop of your blood onto the Talent Stone!"
After walking for a bit, Yu Haoran carefully observed the change in Wu Zhengjun"s Inherent Stone.
Because he also wanted to know the level of talent, potential, comprehension and perseverance Wu Zhengjun, who had activated the bloodthirsty physique, had reached.
Of the four colors that Wu Zhengjun"s body displayed, the two colors that represented talent and potential had the fastest change in color, and the two colors that represented comprehension and perseverance were very average.
It was only when the color of her talent and potential turned a light red that the color of her perception and perseverance began to gradually turn green.
At this point, the four colors were powerless and finally froze at light red, light red, light green, and light green.
Seeing that the bloodthirsty physique was not as strong as he had imagined, Yu Haoran was a little disappointed.
Just as the tarin had said, after his rebirth, he would be in a lot of trouble, and the friends and subordinates by his side would be in danger at any time. If he wanted to save his life, he would need to continuously raise his cultivation and increase his strength.
Fortunately, tarin noticed his disappointment and explained it to him in time.
"Yu Haoran, the bloodthirsty physique that Wu Zhengjun possesses is ranked 9999th in the millions of special physiques, how can it only have the potential to be at the early stages of Martial Saint? The reason why his current performance is so ordinary is entirely because his bloodthirsty physique has only been opened by one tenth."
"Once his bloodthirsty physique has been fully awakened, the potential that he possesses far surpa.s.ses the current you. He"ll be at least at the peak of the Martial Saint."
"So that"s how it is!" Hearing tarin"s explanation, Yu Haoran suddenly realized.
Although the four indicators that Wu Zhengjun had revealed caused Yu Haoran to be slightly disappointed, out of the nearly six hundred new disciples who had entered the sect, the results of the four indicators were enough for them to enter the top five.
Therefore, his previous performance had also attracted the attention of many of the higher ups in the Hundred Feet Gate.
Different from Yu Haoran, the potential, talent, comprehension and perseverance Yu Haoran displayed was too outstanding. The higher ups of the Hundred Feet Gate were afraid that they would not be able to control Yu Haoran in the future, so they did not wish to win him over.
However, in the face of a variety of targets that were inferior to Yu Haoran and in a range that could be controlled, Wu Zhengjun was very much in line with their goals of winning his over and making his promise.
Therefore, after Wu Zhengjun had just finished his examination, the higher ups of the Hundred Feet Gate, who were represented by Lie Yan, had continuously promised various benefits in order to win Wu Zhengjun over.
Unfortunately, Wu Zhengjun"s response made them feel extremely disappointed.
"I come from the same city as Senior Brother Yu and we are as close as brothers. Whom he worships, then I will pay my respects to!"
Wu Zhengjun"s answer disappointed the higher ups of the Hundred Feet Gate. However, it made Chu Zhongyu and Huang Zonghua feel extremely gratified, and it was not in vain for them to waste their efforts to help Wu Zhengjun.
Using the Talent Stone to test on was a waste of time, but there were many people who were in charge of the test. Thus, after one and a half hour, nearly six hundred new disciples had already finished their test.
Amongst them, the one who ranked first in terms of talent, potential, perception, and perseverance was Yu Haoran, who had once again improved in various tests.
After hearing Lie Yan announce the results of the examination, Yu Haoran stood there calmly with not a single ripple in his heart. However, the disciples who were in charge of taking the examination all looked at him with faces full of envy and jealousy.
After announcing the winner, Lie Yan paused for a moment to give everyone on scene time to accept.
Following that, he continued to announce the disciples who ranked second in the test results.
It was the peerless young lady who had moved the hearts of countless of young boys at the scene, and the commotion she caused, was not one bit inferior to the Yu Haoran who had won the championship.
The one who was ranked third was a youth wearing a black robe and his aura was too cold and proud.
As for Wu Zhengjun, he was ranked fourth.
According to Hundred Feet Gate"s request, no matter what results you get in the first round of the examination, you must enter the second round"s Ranking Compet.i.tion s. Then, based on the overall results of the two tests, you can finally enjoy the benefits.
Therefore, after Lie Yan announced the names of the the top ten disciples, Yu Haoran stretched his arms and legs, preparing to partic.i.p.ate in the second round of Ranking Compet.i.tion s.
