Chapter 263 - End Of The First Test

"This crystal ball looks the same as the one used to check our cultivation when we registered for the annual martial arts contest. The only difference is that this one can measure our talent, but is that really possible?" Zhu Ren whispered softly.

"Come on, Brother Zhu! Sect Master Jiu Shen is even capable of defeating Alliance Head Situ. It should not be a surprise if he has these kinds of items." Liu Mengdi patted Zhu Ren’s back forcefully as he uttered those words.

Princess Sylvia nodded her head in agreement and she even wore a proud look as if she was the one who was being complimented.

"We will know soon if this item is really capable of doing such a thing... It’s now my turn. You guys can wait for me here." Beiming Chu said before walked towards Xia Xinyue.

Prince Dante and the others glanced at him closely. They were eager to know if the Brilliant Star was truly capable of measuring one’s talent. After all, they haven’t heard of anything capable of doing that...

Beiming Chu paused in front of Xia Xinyue and stared at the crystal ball she was holding.

"Place your right hand on top of it." Xia Xinyue said in a calm tone.

Beiming Chu no longer hesitated. He slowly placed his hand on the crystal ball and when his skin touched the surface of the crystal, he felt a warm sensation spreading through his palm.

The dim Brilliant Star emitted a faint white light that glowed briefly.

"Beiming Chu. Twenty years old. Seven stars. You passed the first test." Xia Xinyue announced with an unchanging expression.

Beiming Chu was absentminded and he only recovered himself when he heard Xia Xinyue’s words.

He was glad that he passed the first test, but he was bewildered about the meaning of his seven-star talent.

He walked back towards Prince Dante and the others with a calm look, but the curiosity in his heart intensified the more he thought about the result.

"Just what does it mean..." He muttered under his breath.

"Congratulations, Brother Beiming! So far, you have the highest talent among all those that had themselves tested!" Prince Dante said with a warm smile. He was genuinely happy that his friend passed the first test without any problem.

"Alright! Now, it’s my turn! I’ll be back right away! Hehe!" Princess Sylvia grinned as she walked away.

After less than a few minutes, she came back with a stiff smile.

"Why do you look unhappy when you passed the test?" Liu Mengdi asked, feeling quite confused at her expression.

Princess Sylvia pouted as she replied. "I thought I had a higher talent, but it seems like I’m just a seven-star talent like Brother Beiming."

Prince Dante chuckled and the others chuckled secretly when they saw her distressed look, but they were also surprised when they heard that she was only a seven-star talent.

Cough! Cough!

"Ehem!" A faked cough suddenly interrupted their train of thoughts and they immediately turned their heads to glance at the newcomer.

"You... You... You... Yang Zenke?!" Liu Mengdi pointed at Yang Zenke with a look of shock.

"So it’s Brother Yang! What brings you here?" Prince Dante pulled the shocked Liu Mengdi and stared at Yang Zenke with interest. He was truly curious about this young man who managed to awe everyone with his savage way of fighting.

Yang Zenke nodded his head at Prince Dante and replied in an indifferent tone. "I’m here under the orders of Sect Master Jiu Shen. I have something to give to Liu Mengdi."

He sounded rude and arrogant, but none dared to voice out their displeasure. Not even the little demoness dared to show a hint of hostility on her face.

"To me?" Liu Mengdi pointed at himself with a perplexed look.

Yang Zenke nodded and said. "Take this space ring. Sect Master Jiu mentioned that you are now a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Tower. You don’t have to join the assessment anymore and you can go inside the tower with me."

Liu Mengdi’s eyes widened.

"Hahaha! To think that Sect Master Jiu was not joking with me at that time! How foolish of me to doubt him! Hahaha! Let’s go!" Liu Mengdi burst into peals of laughter as he thought about it.

Yang Zenke then glanced at Prince Dante and the rest and said. "I know all of you will be accepted as disciples of the Heavenly Sword Tower, so I won’t offer you guys any words of encouragement. You can go look for me after the assessment is over."

After saying those words, he did not even wait for any reply before walking inside the sword tower.

"Good luck, all of you! I’ll wait for you guys inside!" Liu Mengdi chuckled before following Yang Zenke.

Beiming Chu and the others stared at their figures speechlessly.

"That Yang Zenke guy still looks unapproachable as always." Prince Dante muttered.

Everyone else nodded their heads at his words.

"His confidence in us is pressuring me. I just hope that all of us can truly pass all three tests." Zhu Ren added with a somber tone.

"I don’t like that guy! Hmph! I’ll smack his face after I get inside the sword tower!" Princess Sylvia harrumphed.

Beiming Chu and the others merely smiled at her words. They knew that she was just spouting nonsense, but none of them said anything about it lest they incur this little demoness’ rage...

The first assessment continued for a few more hours.

There were thousands of applicants, but only several hundred remained after everyone was tested.

Xia Xinyue surveyed the crowd with her cold eyes and announced. "All of you passed the first round of the assessment and I congratulate you for that. Now, please go inside the sword tower and take a rest. We have already prepared your accommodations, so you have nothing to worry about. As for the second test, it will be held tomorrow morning, and latecomers are immediately disqualified!"

The words ’immediately disqualified’ resounded inside everyone’s head like an eruption of a volcano. They silently told themselves to never be late for the second test tomorrow...
