Chapter 13: First Test
Zao Tian stood facing the 'Blue Crystal of spiritual energy', he concentrated his spiritual power on the palm of his right hand and touched the Crystal.
When the other candidates touched the 'Blue Crystal of spiritual energy', sometimes the center of the crystal emitted a blue glow, sometimes green, or red, or brown, or white. However, unlike the other times, the center of the crystal went crazy, an intense golden glow appeared.
The elders of the 'Star of War School' looked at each other with a look of confusion. The only one who was staring at the 'Blue Crystal of spiritual energy' was Ye Zuo. After several years of testing, he never saw the 'Blue Crystal of Spiritual Energy' behave that way.
_ Age 15 years; 1st level of the Spiritual realm ...
"Hahahahaha ... What the fuck! I thought something interesting was going to happen, but it's just another crap. "Someone scoffed.
The laughter and mockery echoed throughout the square. People pointed their fingers at Zao Tian and laughed uncontrollably. Even Ye Zuo who was intrigued by the behavior of the 'Blue Crystal of spiritual energy' showed a certain disappointment.
"Elder Ye Zuo must apologize for saying that, but that's why I told all the junk to leave. Hahahahaha ... "Lin Bei laughed so hard that it looked like he would never stop.
Zao Tian was impressively calm, he was already accustomed to this kind of ridicule from other people. He stood while the result was uttered.
_ Elementary Affinity: Incalculable ...
"Hmm…"
"What does that mean?"
The laughter stopped immediately, everyone became curious about it.
Again the elders looked at each other. Even they did not know what that meant.
"Maybe he has no elemental affinity, so it could not be calculated." Someone shouted in the crowd.
"Yeah, that must be it."
What the crowd did not know was that when a person did not have elemental affinity, the crystal would simply say that it does not have, so that had a different meaning.
_ Concentration of spiritual energy: Absolute.
"Damn ... Who's that bastard?" Lin Bei was almost crazy.
The whole crowd was wide-eyed, they tried to understand what was happening before their eyes.
That kid that everyone scorned and claimed to be complete trash surprised everyone in an unimaginable way.
The Elders of the 'Star of War School' were astonished, their bodies did not move, and not even a word was possible. Elder Ye Zuo stared at Zao Tian with wide eyes, he wanted to know where that boy came from.
"Waaahhh ... What the fuck is that?"
"Does this kid have the same potential as the founder of 'Star of War School?'
After recovering from the shock, the crowd exploded in an uproar, everyone was discussing where Zao Tian came from and even at what level his cultivation would one day come.
More shocked than the crowd was Zao Tian. Though he kept a serious, calm expression on his face, a single thought came into his head: "Holy shit! What the fuck was that just happened? "
"Humph ... You have inherited my Spiritual Veins, do you really think they are simple?" Gold said with a tone of anger in his voice.
Even after Gold said that, Zao Tian had not imagined that he would have such potential. He looked at the palms of his hands and finally understood that he was not a simple cultivator like other people, he was destined to accomplish much greater deeds.
Elder Ye Zuo used all his willpower to regain his composure. He struggled to the utmost, but still stammered as he pronounced, "O ... O ... Young proved to have the necessary degree of ... concentration of spiritual energy and ... also ... it also has no common Spiritual Veins. Despite being on the 1st level of the Spiritual realm, he is ... Approved. "
"Wooooowwww"
"So it's true, that kid is really special."
"What's his name? I have to know."
"I also want to know his name. What he will achieve in the future ... Just to participate in the same exam as he ... I already feel lucky. "
Before the confirmation of Ye Zuo, the crowd went crazy, most still did not believe that Zao Tian was someone special. Many admired him and wanted to see even his growth.
However, others like Lin Bei, harbored envy and fear of Zao Tian, they would definitely do everything possible to stop him growing.
Watching that divided audience about Zao Tian, Ye Zuo understood that he should take action at that moment. Despite some possible allies, he realized that Zao Tian attracted the attention of complicated and dangerous enemies.
Ye Zuo kept a rather friendly countenance on his face as he walked toward Zao Tian.
"I'd like to ask ... What is the name of the junior who just surprised me?" Ye Zuo spoke to Zao Tian.
Zao Tian: "I pay my respects to the honorable Elder. The name of this Junior is Zao Tian. "
Ye Zuo: "Zao Tian ... I've never heard of your family. Where you are from?"
"This Junior is from the 'Golden Province', but ... My family has no background or influence. That is why the Elder never heard of his. "Zao Tian replied with deep respect.
Ye Zuo: "Oh? No great background or influence? Did you still produce these kinds of Spiritual Veins? "
Zao Tian: "This Junior was fortunate and born different from the others."
Ye Zuo: "If that's really true ... You just put yourself in a difficult situation. Do you understand that you have just attracted the attention of people who will want to harm you at all costs? "
Zao Tian: "Until now this Junior also did not know that he had different Spiritual Veins and could not anticipate it. However, if I attract the attention of likely enemies ... That ... may be even good for me. With enemies pressing me, I will have even more motivation to increase my cultivation. "
Ye Zuo, who was already 93 years old, was surprised by the calm and coolness that Zao Tian kept on his face as he uttered those words.
Ye Zuo: "Do not let arrogance prevail in your personality. If you can pass the other tests, you will have the protection of my 'Star of War School'. But ... I fear that your possible enemies might even rival us. "
Zao Tian: "I understand the teaching of the honorable Elder, I Zao Tian, I do not possess an arrogant personality and I will be policing so that I do not acquire such a defect in the future. As for the rest ... I can only promise to work hard to pass the tests and accept what fate holds. "
Ye Zuo: "Right. You can wait for the beginning of the next step in my tent. I believe that being in the midst of this crowd will not be beneficial to you or to the progress of the tests. "
"This Junior is grateful for the understanding of the honorable Elder." Zao Tian replied with extreme respect in his words.
He was extremely happy because in addition to being able to pass the first test, he felt that he had earned the respect and attention of Elder Ye Zuo.
Zao Tian stayed in Ye Zuo's tent until the end of the first test. Staying away from the crowd was really beneficial to him, as Zao Tian was the only subject he could hear among all, if he was there, he would not have a moment of quiet.
With the end of the first test, Ye Zuo and the other three Elders announced the start of the next test.
