Chapter 387 - Unofficial Disciple and Official Disciple
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Wenren Tianyi was qualified given his fifth grade talent, but it was not enough for him to become an unofficial disciple of the Firmament Palace.
He then went on to test his property talents.
His Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder property talents were either low enough to not be qualified, or completely absent.
However, the Light property stele burst into a dazzling light of an astounding seven white halos.
Light property talent of the seventh grade!
After a short silence, the crowd burst into an uproar.
"My god! A seventh grade Light property talent allows him to be an official disciple!"
"Impressive! He would receive a powerful martial arts Legacy for becoming an official disciple!"
"With his overnight success, Wenren Tianyi's future is bright!"
"..."
Everyone chatted over each other and felt more envious than shocked.
In the history of the East Continent, there were few who became an official disciple of the Firmament Palace. In fact, less than five people have done so in the past few hundred years. However, everyone that became an official disciple would become one of the strongest experts in the entire world, provided that they did not perish during their growth.
It was said that an expert in East Continent at the Martial Emperor Realm was an official disciple of the Firmament Palace that received its Legacy over 200 years ago.
Apparently, the genius that topped the List of Top 1,000 Talents in East Continent was also an official disciple.
In other words, becoming an official disciple of the Firmament Palace would make one's future limitless!
Lei Xiao, Chu Zhantian, Jiang Taixu, and Xue Mo were all tensing up due to the immense pressure from Wenren Tianyi's results.
Su Mo was confident in his talent, but he had never tested his property talent before.
"Haha! Great! Seems like my Firmament Palace will be welcoming another official disciple!" The middle-aged puppet laughed and shot Wenri Tianyi a look of approval.
Although the puppet was built from an unknown metal, its expression was identical to that of a real human.
Wenren Tianyi smiled confidently with pride beaming in his eyes. Since he was now an official disciple, he did not continue to test his Dark property talent.
"What's your name?" The puppet looked at Wenren Tianyi and asked.
"Wenren Tianyi!" He bowed respectfully to the puppet and replied.
"Good! From this moment onward, you'll be the disciple to the Illuminious Palace, one of the nine palaces of my Firmament Place!" The puppet continued, "You have no need to continue with the trials anymore. Of course, you can choose to do it too, and there will be special rewards if you can perform well."
"I'll continue with the trials!" Wenren Tianyi replied after a brief moment. There was no way he would miss out on any rewards.
The puppet nodded.
The trial continued. Just as Wenren Tianyi stepped down, Xue Mo confidently strode into the center of the square.
Xue Mo did not believe that his talent was worse than Wenren Tianyi, so he would not let him steal the spotlight.
He went before the Testing Pillar and pressed his bloody palm violently onto it.
Buzz...
The Testing Pillar quaked, before radiance burst out to form six milk white halos.
Sixth grade talent!
The crowd burst into an uproar again. Xue Mo's sixth grade talent placed him even above Wenren Tianyi and made him an unofficial disciple directly.
Wenren Tianyi furrowed his brows and turned grim.
"Qualified!" The puppet's voice was heard again.
Xue Mo smiled evilly and continued to test his property talents.
However, his property talent lost to Wenren Tianyi. Apart from his Water and Dark property that reached the fourth grade, the highest of his remaining property talents was only at the third grade.
This put a shade on Xue Mo's face again. Although his talent was above Wenren Tianyi, his property talent had failed to qualify himself as an official disciple.
"Qualified! You can become an unofficial disciple directly! I will leave the decision of continuing the trial to you." The puppet said with a smile.
He was in a good mood since it was rare to even get a single unofficial disciple in the past few batches. The trial had only just begun and there was already an unofficial disciple, and even an official one.
"I'll continue too!" Xue Mo said as he glanced at Wenren Tianyi. If he could perform well in the following trials, there was still hope for him to become an official disciple.
Chu Zhantian, Jiang Taixu, and Lei Xiao were the next few to take the test.
They had already tested their talents three years ago, so they were only doing it for the sake of doing it.
Their talents were all at the fifth grade and this qualified them for the following trials, but not enough to make them unofficial disciples. Property talent wise, only Lei Xiao's Thunder property had reached the fifth grade, while the other two had one or two talents of fourth grade.
Despite failing to become unofficial disciples, they could continue with the trials.
The remaining geniuses took the test one after another. A minority of them passed the test, but no one was qualified to become an unofficial disciple, much less an official disciple.
Li Hai, Fang Qingyun, and Yuwen Jun had barely qualified to continue the trials.
Su Mo was not in a hurry to take the test since he was pondering the purpose behind the property talent test.
Property talent probably included both a person's body property and their Martial Soul's property. A common person would have talent in all of the properties and only a few would lack the talent for one or more types of properties, but these individuals would be stronger in other properties.
Without a doubt, those who were talented in one property would have a much easier time cultivating martial arts of that system.
For example, Lei Xiao's Thunder property talent was outstanding which meant that he could cultivate martial arts of the Thunder System more quickly to achieve more powerful results.
Su Mo was slightly excited because his Devouring Martial Soul had devoured large numbers of Martial Souls of all properties. This should likely strengthen his property talent!
While Su Mo was deep in thought, Chu Yunfeng took the test.
His talent was decent as he had reached the fourth grade, but his property talents were all normal and none had exceeded the third grade.
After he was done, it was the ninth princess', Hong Qingxuan, turn.
As soon as she went forward, her peerless beauty attracted the attention of everyone and some were even ogling her.
Su Mo was similarly interested in the grade of her talent as it was obviously astounding.
Hong Qingxuan proceeded to the Test Pillar and placed her jade-like palm on it.
Buzz...
The Test Pillar trembled before radiance burst out to form six glaring, milk-white halos.
The crowd was startled and then their eyes opened wide with astonishment.
"God! Sixth grade talent. She's equivalent to Xue Mo!"
"Who... who's this girl? She has such a great talent despite being only at Lv 6 True Spirit Realm!"
"She looks only about 16 years old and with her talent, her strength will be unimaginable in a few years!"
Everyone was overwhelmed with surprise as her talent of sixth grade was enough to make her an unofficial disciple. So far, only Xue Mo had reached sixth grade and even Wenren Tianyi's talent was only at the fifth grade.
Hong Qingxuan was not famous so hardly anyone recognized her. Even before coming to the Firmament Divine Realm, she was a nobody in the Dark Domain.
Although her talent was extremely good, her age limited her cultivation, so she had no chance of entering the List of Top 100 Talents in the Dark Domain.
Hence, she took part in the Hong Domain's Top-100-talent Competition in order to enter the Firmament Divine Realm from the Hong Domain.
