The crowd gasped consecutively at the sight of the ten-foot-tall azure light.
"This... this light is even more dazzling and purer than all the previous ones!"
"As expected of the Xuan Tian Sect's chief prodigy; their talent is truly incomparable!"
"Judging by this display, it should reach sixty points in speed potential, right?"
"Naturally! If it can't reach that, then everyone else can just go home!"
"Makes sense!"
"..."
Under the fervent gazes of the crowd, the azure light gradually receded, condensing within the pearl and forming a number.
At this, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats.
Seventy-one!
The Xuan Tian Sect's top prodigy's speed potential reached seventy-one points.
Upon seeing this result, the Xuan Tian Sect disciples instantly erupted in cheers. They gazed at their Senior Brother Shao Yu with fervent admiration.
As for Shao Yu himself, though there was a hint of disappointment in his expression upon seeing the number, it was negligible.
Subsequently, he tested his potential in the other three attributes.
Strength sixty-one!
Defense fifty-nine!
Comprehension sixty-eight!
The final conclusion was that in the path of speed, his talent was...
Optimal!
This outcome stunned everyone: a true prodigy indeed, with astonishing potential in all other three aspects.
Following this, the crowd was focused on a single question.
That was... the opportunity!
Since the testing began, Shao Yu was the first ancient martial artist to achieve a potential of sixty points or higher. Therefore, he was now qualified to receive an opportunity.
Everyone eagerly awaited what he would receive.
At this moment, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly announced:
"Speed potential, seventy-one points. Awarded one White Legacy Token, a bottle of Immaculate Marrow Washing Pill, and a pair of Gale-Stepping Boots!"
As the voice faded, the aforementioned opportunities materialized before Shao Yu through the convergence of array runes and were delivered into his hands.
"These are..."
Shao Yu's face beamed with surprise and excitement as he looked at the treasures in his hands.
"Excellent! Excellent, Yu'er!"
Just then, an elder from the Xuan Tian Sect, accompanied by his disciples, approached Shao Yu and exclaimed, "As expected of our sect's prodigy, truly extraordinary! Upon our return to the sect, we shall certainly celebrate you!"
"Yes!"
Shao Yu bowed respectfully and then returned to the original encampment with the other Xuan Tian Sect disciples.
Observing the Xuan Tian Sect members, the surrounding crowd's expressions shifted subtly, their thoughts unreadable.
However, some ancient martial artists with keen perception clearly sensed a somberness permeating the atmosphere. Their gazes toward Shao Yu held a peculiar depth.
The Xuan Tian Sect members understood the reason for this.
Precisely because they understood, they did not rush to leave. Otherwise, they might have been preyed upon before even reaching their sect.
With the threshold of sixty potential points broken, numerous ancient martial artists rekindled their hopes.
The testing resumed.
In the distance, a young man and woman observed the direction of the Xuan Tian Sect. The woman spoke, "Young Master! Can the Xuan Tian Sect protect those opportunities?"
Some matters did not require explicit mention.
The undercurrents beneath the surface were already beginning to churn.
"Who can say?" Ye Ming chuckled, looking at the testing platform. "If more monstrous talents appear later, the Xuan Tian Sect's situation will be relatively safer! Otherwise, it will be difficult!"
"More monstrous talents appear?"
Du Yuemian carefully considered, understanding Ye Ming's implication.
"However, before that, perhaps something else interesting will happen!"
At this moment, Ye Ming's eyes flickered, his gaze penetrating the chaotic crowd.
No one knew what he was looking at.
"Other interesting things?"
Du Yuemian did not understand.
"Don't worry about it! These are not matters we should concern ourselves with!" Ye Ming patted the back of her hand and smiled, "Once the excitement here dies down, I will have gathered most of the information I need. It will be time to return!"
"Mm!"
Du Yuemian also looked towards the testing platform, a hint of curiosity in her expression.
"You wish to test yourself as well?" Ye Ming perceptibly detected this.
"I'm a little curious!" she did not deny.
She certainly wanted to know more about her own talent.
"Go ahead!" Ye Ming said softly. "I'll be watching you here!"
"Okay!"
...
Half an hour later, following Shao Yu, nearly ten more ancient martial artists achieved a potential of over sixty points.
The majority of them were prodigies from the ten great first-rate forces. Only a few hailed from other factions or were lone cultivators.
Relatively speaking, these few individuals would face greater "danger" than Shao Yu and the others.
Furthermore, among these ancient martial artists who received opportunities, everyone noticed a peculiar phenomenon.
That was that all their received opportunities included the same item.
A Legacy Token!
Everyone received one.
The only difference was the color of the Legacy Token.
For those with sixty potential points or higher, it was a Yellow Legacy Token.
For those with seventy potential points or higher, it was a White Legacy Token.
Since no ancient martial artist had yet achieved a potential of eighty points or above, the crowd was unaware of the colors of the subsequent Legacy Tokens.
However, judging by the phenomenon of receiving opportunities, everyone realized that perhaps the Legacy Token was the most important among the myriad of opportunities.
It was just that with the current information, they still did not understand the purpose of the Legacy Token.
"Heavens! The prodigies of the... the Four Great Superforces have appeared simultaneously!"
"My goodness! The Dragon and Phoenix Twins of the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion, the Forgetful Mountain's Wu Le Fairy, the Unrivaled Island's Young Island Master Fu Zhantian, and... hmm? Who is that person?"
"Is that young man from the Dead Spirit Valley? Why have I never seen him before?"
"I heard earlier that the Young Valley Master of the Dead Spirit Valley was killed by someone, and this person who has just appeared is likely the one who arrived!"
"What! Who dared to kill the Young Valley Master of the Dead Spirit Valley? Do they not wish to live?"
"I previously heard my sect elders mention that the one who killed You Chuan seemed to be a young man, incredibly powerful! Even Valley Master You Li..."
"Hush! Fellow Daoist, speak with caution!"
"Yes! Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist!"
"..."
In front of the testing platform, many ancient martial artists who were preparing to test had all parted ways, making room for the five figures behind them.
No one dared to raise any objections.
This was the authority of the Four Great Superforces.
"Fairy Yao! Please!"
Among the five, Fu Zhantian, the Young Island Master of Unrivaled Island, bowed respectfully to Xi Yao, smiling and gesturing, "With Fairy Yao's talent, it is likely you will easily reach the threshold of eighty points. I imagine ninety points is also possible!"
"Young Island Master Fu is too kind! Xi Yao only seeks the qualification to obtain the Legacy Token. I shall not strive for more!" Xi Yao smiled faintly.
"Hmph! Somewhat self-aware!"
The moment Xi Yao finished speaking, a youth on the extreme edge of the five suddenly sneered sarcastically.
