398 Genius or Average Joe?

There were thousands of disciples, therefore, it was inevitable that it would take a long time to finish testing everyone.

However, Yang Song did not want to waste so much time on this. So, before the second day of the talent assessment came, Yang Song asked Xu Hailong to get three more sets of aptitude testers.

Of course, he gave the latter a large amount of money to operate this, after all, the aptitude testers were not cheap and not so easy to buy. At the same time, he also ordered Xu Hailong to find three more helpers in advance.

But even with enough resources, it still could not ensure that he would be able to buy the aptitude testers. Fortunately, there was Yang Song behind him to act as his background, so even if some people were reluctant, they still had to squeeze out a smile and offer to sell their aptitude testers to Xu Hailong with both hands.

By the time the sun of the second day rose up, the additional three sets of aptitude testers were already placed on the platform of the secret space.

Yang Song couldn't help feeling satisfied with Xu Hailong's work efficiency. With this, the speed of the assessment today was bound to be many times faster than previously.

As expected, in just half a day, at least around 400 disciples were tested. If nothing happened, the assessment would end by the third day.

At this time, Xu Zhihua put down a jade slip and called out a name, "Qing Sui."

Yang Song was most impressed by this name. His attention was immediately caught and he glanced over.

Qing Sui, whose true name was Qin Hao and true identity was the bullied 16th prince of the Great Qin Kingdom, took a deep breath and walked onto the platform, and entered Xu Zhihua's assessment line.

Qin Hao placed his hand on the familiar Soul Tester and secretly bit his own lips. As a child born in the royal family, even if he was looked down upon everywhere he went, his identity as a prince was still there. Hence, the general things that other royal family members could do could also be done by him.

For example, testing one's own aptitudes often, was a typical activity of the royal children. The royal family was very rich, it was not a problem to get the aptitude testers operated every day for a long period of time.

Qin Hao was not prevented from testing his own aptitude, it was just that every time he went to test, he would be ridiculed by other princes and princesses for being so talentless, so with this, he was discouraged from going to test his own aptitude often.

Over time, testing aptitude became a rare activity that he would pick up voluntarily, but what really made him scared of testing his own attitude was that his talents stayed on the same level all the time.

Just like this, while everyone else was rising, he, the 16th prince, increasingly became weaker and finally became someone whom even some people with ordinary identity dared to look down on him.

Actually, his situation was not uncommon inside the royal palace. In fact, as long as a royal child could not absorb Spiritual Energy, he would certainly be abandoned by the emperor and everyone else.

The reason why he ran away from the royal palace was related to his father the emperor.

Qin Hao was actually once a child favored by the emperor, however, that was when his mother was alive and when he had not reached the age of 10.

He once thought that his father really loved him genuinely, but who knew that he only loved his talent? When he was five, his talent was the best among all the royal children around his age. But after five years, his talent was still the same, and other children had long surpassed him.

Gradually, he realized that the love his father showed to him was just a show, a show to trap him in case he had a great talent.

It could be said that this was the last straw that really made Qin Hao run away from the royal palace. The royal palace was like a big golden cage where every single person regarded each other as enemies, where conspiracies were all over the place, even the blood-related ones couldn't wait to show each other's fangs and bite each other to death.

Compared to that, the outside world was much better. Even if he lost the status as the prince, even if he became so poor, he at least would not have to confront the scornful eyes and the hypocrisy of those people anymore.

Now, facing the aptitude testers again, Qin Hao was no longer scared, at most, he was just nervous. This was his greatest opportunity.

'The Sky Decree Sect…'

Not long ago, after he escaped to the northern region, he was spotted by chance of a strong man. Soon after that, that strong man wanted to recruit him into his sect. For Qin Hao, it was like "he found a bucket of fish while he was only finding materials to made a fishing rod".

At first, he was very excited, but a little while later, he became suspicious. After all, the requirements of the strong man were too great to be true. But his suspicions disappeared when he found out the true identity of the strong man.

The strong man was the patriarch of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect, a second-rate sect whose power was quite strong, and they even got the attention of the royal palace. There was even a rumor that the young master of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect would be recruited by the royal force soon.

Qin Hao was a nobody, but that did not mean that he was so simple and clueless regarding the affairs inside the palace.

But what he found strange was that Xu Hailong recruited so many talentless people not for his own sect, but for another force called the Sky Decree Sect. This was told by Xu Hailong to everyone when he recruited them.

Qin Hao had some guesses hearing this unfamiliar name. Later, when he arrived at Sunflower City and witnessed so many magical methods, he finally confirmed his guesses.

This Sky Decree Sect was a new force and a force that belonged to a super powerhouse that had just appeared recently!

His guess was further confirmed on the first day he arrived at this magical place. Xu Hailong was so respectful to that person, and above all else, he called that person "patriarch".

Now, Qin Hao was determined to join to new force at any cost. So, everything above was the reason for his nervousness.

If Yang Song could hear the thoughts of Qin Hao, it was not known how he would react. This child was so young, yet his mind was no worse than that of an adult. Perhaps he was born in a place full of tricks and conspiracies, thus making him extremely flexible with his thinking.

Qin Hao could feel a slightly warm sensation through his palm on the Soul Tester. Quickly, the first star on the Soul Tester glowed up in white. When the first star was fully lit up, it was the second star's turn. And this occurrence continued on the third star too.

The beating sound inside Qin Hao's heart was the loudest at this moment. His soul talent was exactly 3-star.

Just as he was about to retract his palm from the Soul Tester, the fourth star unexpectedly brightened up, and it was right away followed by the fifth, the sixth, and the seventh star!

Qin Hao rubbed his eyes with his left hand with disbelief to confirm that he was not having a hallucination or illusion.

This was simply unscientific!

Xu Zhihua not far from here also could not believe his own eyes. There was such a strong talent among this group of people?

Xu Hailong also noticed the abnormality and looked over. When he saw the six white stars on the Soul Tester, he hurriedly came over to confirm it.

This situation was also spotted by everyone under the platform. Exclamations and so on appeared on the scene. This was simply a rare sight for them.

A 7-star soul talent? This was simply the level of genius!

On the other side, Yang Song was not surprised by this and just waited for everyone to calm down.

Xu Hailong calmed down quickly and made decisions. He looked at Qin Hao slightly and said deeply, "You continue with the test."

The 7-star soul talent was really not bad; however, this still could not make this boy a genius. Only if his other talents went past 5-star could he be called a genius.

Qin Hao took a deep breath and swiftly went to the next tester, the Element Tester.

Quickly, three different colors of light bloomed. A second later, water, wind, and fire materialized inside the hole of the Element Tester.

Qin Hao was not surprised by this, after all, he had three-element talent since young, and these three elements were one of the reasons why his father favored him in the past.

In this world, a person with three types of elements was simply very rare. But if that person could not absorb Spiritual Energy, then he was no different from an ordinary person.

People were shocked by him once again and discussion was everywhere.

Qin Hao did not care and walked to the Strength Tester.

In truth, the Strength Tester was not used to test the strength of a person at all, but what was tested was the quality and potential of a person's physical body.

For martial artists, the physical body was also extremely essential. The stronger one's body was, the greater his chance of advancing would be.

"Crack…"

Qin Hao tightened his fist and threw a punch at the Strength Tester violently.

There was no pain, it was like hitting a piece of soft but abnormally durable cotton to Qin Hao.

Instantly, two stars were lit up without a pause, but from the look of it, there was still more to it.

All the people held their breath and looked forward to which star Qin Hao would be able to light up.

Was this going to be the birth of a great genius or just another average joe?
