The crowd in the hall burst into commotion.
"Can you imagine having both a heaven-grade talent and a starry spirit constitution?"
"yeah I know right that means her talent is on the same level as the legendary divine daughter, who is said to be a great talent in the cultivation world"
"to think such a figure was born in our generation"
Different people reacted differently to the birth of a new genius some were happy some were envious, but nonetheless the testing continued, and the next name was called. Looking at the excited fatty beside him Seth inquired "Brother what so great about her talent that causes such a comm-".
The fatty froze in shock his hands clamped around Seth's mouth lest he completed his statement his eyes looked around nervously, and seeing no one paying attention to them he sighed relieved.
"Brother you shouldn't ask such a question aloud, its offensive," seeing the confusion still visible in Seth's eyes he continued "To answer your question there are different grades of talents, with black grade talents being the lowest grade, then earth grade being geniuses and the legendary heaven grade the peak, these geniuses of legends are said to progress in cultivation as easily as breathing, as for constitutions these are special bodies that few people are born with that gives them certain advantages when cultivating".
Then putting on an infatuated look he continued "The Starry Sky sect divine daughter is said to have the phoenix star constitution, making her unrivaled in flame-type cultivation arts".
Seth nodded finally understanding why such a talent was held in such high regard, looking at his pale white arms he knew that this wasn't his real body, he was transported into a body that already existed at this time, but still he hoped that he would still have a high-grade talent, that way he'll be able to complete his mission quickly.
Then Seth noticed something once more the crowd was silent, and as another talent was announced it was a heaven-grade talent with a devil star constitution.
Seeing everyone's weird expression, he gazed at the fatty. The fatty with a resigned expression accepted his place as Seth's dictionary then he whispered explaining "The thing is brother the world of cultivation is divided between the orthodox path and the demonic path, both parties never agree to anything and both sides cultivation art and live styles are entirely different. And that young man up there has a demonic path constitution, so plainly speaking such a talent can't be groomed by the orthodox path, and they can't release such a talent to the demonic path either this is what led to such a weird atmosphere."
Seth now understood why everyone had such a weird expression, such a talent on the same level as the divine daughter only to be born in the wrong place, it was a tragedy indeed, this disciple would most likely be suppressed and killed silently, in other to guarantee that such talent never fell into the hands of the demonic path.
Finally, a name was called "Wang Lin!". The fatty's eyes lit up "Brother it's my turn wish me luck" he said before making his way to the platform at the front. Finally arriving at the platform he stood in front of the large silver-blue veined board.
And it pulsed and strokes formed on them showing his talent. As it turned out the fatty was a genius after all he had a heaven-grade talent though he didn't have any special constitution, he was a genius nonetheless.
Seeing his talent his chest puffed up with pride as he made his way back to his position standing beside Seth once more. Envious eyes glanced at him as he walked to think such a fat fellow had such a talent they all wondered.
"Congratulations brother, I'll be in your care from now on" Seth greeted congratulating him.
"Hahaha! No worries brother, once a brother forever a brother" the fatty laughed with pride. After the two final names were called the elder with the scroll spoke "Where is the young one brought by the divine daughter?".
Immediately he asked the crowd burst into a commotion.
"huh? Who is that could pick the divine daughter's fancy" someone whispered.
Then another responded " I actually heard about it but from what I heard the divine daughter found him unconscious on her way back from her expedition, and she took pity on him and brought him back, it is not like he's a talent or anything"
Then a voice added "The divine daughter is really a lady worthy of admiration to think she even bothered bringing a commoner, granting him an opportunity to be part of one the Starry Sky sect! Admirable indeed" Amid the commotion Seth though nervous walked forward towards the platform.
Reaching the platform the elder with the scroll asked "What's your name young one" Seth called out his name though because of the strange dialect he was speaking it sounded wrong "Sen" was the name that left his mouth.
Though he was perplexed he hid it and followed the elder's direction moving to the front of the large veined silver board. The board was silent for a second then started undulating fiercely as bold strokes appeared on the board.
Talent grade:--
Constitution: Phantom spirit
Since the beginning of the test if one had no talent the board stated 'none', never had there been a case where there was an empty dash not indicating the level of his talent.
So perplexed Seth turned to the elders for answers, and unsurprisingly they were also confused, all of a sudden he had a feeling of deja vu, and then he sighed it seemed his fate was the same no matter where and when he was. And immediately after a resounding bang rang out, shaking the very foundation of the entire sect.
A loud sound of bells rang out as someone announced, "The demonic path is invading the sect, I repeat the demonic path is invading the sect" Seth at the corner had a weird expression,' wasn't this oddly similar to how my seed awakening played out?' he wondered.
