This talent crystal is clearly of a higher grade than what Kang Sitong had previously showcased in Zhongzhou City. Radiant light blossomed above it, and on the four crystals, dazzling numbers actually appeared.
Qin Ying: Fifty!
Leng Wushuang: Sixty-one!
Di Tianyi: Sixty-three!
Wang Qiming: Seventy-two!
The four of them surprisingly all surpassed fifty! Even Xuanying Martial God felt an immense shock in his heart; it was too terrifying that all four were above fifty, with three even exceeding sixty, and one reaching an astonishing seventy-two.
It’s important to note that back then, his own talent value was only sixty-two.
Typically, geniuses with talent values exceeding fifty had already been collected by major powers, especially in the Alchemy Pavilion. Whenever any genius appeared, they would be taken by the elders within the Alchemy Pavilion. Moreover, many of these geniuses came from the various powers of the martial realm, with complicated connections behind them.
The reason Xuanying Martial God was willing to serve merely as a high-ranking worshiper in the Alchemy Pavilion, rather than a powerful elder, was because he preferred a carefree life, independent from the system of the Alchemy Pavilion. However, this made it incredibly difficult for him to recruit disciples with talent values exceeding fifty.
Furthermore, Xuanying Martial God did not only look at talent when accepting disciples; he also considered character and compatibility. Thus far, he had yet to find a satisfactory apprentice.
Now, with Kang Sitong suddenly bringing four people, how could he not be shocked? Although Wang Qiming and the others had not even reached the Martial Emperor realm, and their foundations were somewhat weak, having walked down many incorrect paths in their cultivation, for Xuanying Martial God, helping them correct their cultivation and martial arts was exceptionally easy.
Their low cultivation and mixed auras were not pure, which further confirmed their identities as Commoners from the Four-Domains, indicating that they had not yet been branded by other powers.
"Good, you four, each demonstrate your martial spirits and techniques to let me see. Kang Sitong, you did well in this matter. Regardless of the outcome, I will not blame you for this incident," Xuanying Martial God said, revealing a hint of appreciation in his tone.
Kang Sitong's face showed joy as he said, "You guys, don't you hurry to perform in front of Xuanying Martial God?"
At the same time, he was immensely shocked. He remembered that in Zhongzhou City, Qin Ying's talent value was forty-five, while Leng Wushuang was fifty-seven, Di Tianyi was fifty-nine, and Wang Qiming was seventy-one.
Yet now, their values had significantly increased, and even Qin Ying had broken through fifty. What on earth was going on?
Was it that his initial testing was incorrect, or had their talents improved after entering the martial realm?
This wasn’t impossible. It was rumored that in the lower four domains of the Tianwu Continent, the natural qi was thin, and thus martial artists had many impurities within their bodies, often resulting in a mixed state and their talent not being fully awakened.
So, some martial artists from the lower four domains, after entering the martial realm and receiving the cleansing of the purest natural qi, would naturally see their talents improve. This had happened in the past as well.
"Yes." The four of them began to display their bloodlines.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, four streams of vital energy soared into the sky, with Wang Qiming's being the most formidable. His terrifying sword intent surged upward, forming a black heavenly sword, seemingly containing the supreme path.
Leng Wushuang and Di Tianyi followed suit, but Leng Wushuang was surrounded by countless snowflakes, clad in white, appearing exceptionally elegant and ethereal.
Although Qin Ying was slightly behind, she was also proud and exuded deep restraint.
"Haha, good, very good." Amidst his laughter, a middle-aged man in white had appeared above them without them noticing. He floated above the Ice Palace like a deity, radiating divine light, with countless snowflakes swirling around him, as if he were a god ruling this world.
