"Yang Honglie's aptitude is indeed extraordinary."
In the crowd, Tang Miaoyin murmured with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Not only her, but the Vice Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect, Zhou Wenzhi, as well as Xiao Ningyue and Zong Yuzhe, all showed expressions of astonishment.
The entrance examination of the Celestial Sword Sect, although it also tests aptitude, the Inquiry Sword Stone can only assess Swordsmanship Talent, and at most, it can only detect a Nine-star Swordsmanship Talent.
According to their knowledge, Yang Honglie's initial test result was a Seven-star Swordsmanship Talent, and his bloodline was only of Profound Level Ninth Grade.
They did not expect Yang Honglie's Martial Arts Talent to reach Ten-Star.
Swordsmanship Talent determines a person's potential in the Sword Dao, the higher the talent, the easier it is to comprehend the realms of Swordsmanship, and even the prowess of executing Swordsmanship can be stronger.
Martial Arts Talent, on the other hand, determines a person's potential in Martial Arts, the higher the talent, the faster the cultivation speed, and the higher the future achievements.
Furthermore, his bloodline has transformed from Profound Level Ninth Grade to Earth Level First Grade.
It should be known that generally, bloodline is innate and almost impossible to change, unless there is an extraordinary opportunity to alter it.
Moreover, the difference between Profound Level Ninth Grade and Earth Level First Grade is not just a simple difference in grades, but rather a qualitative change.
For instance, an ordinary Profound Level bloodline can increase power by at least twenty percent with each grade ascent.
However, the prowess of an Earth Level First Grade is ten times that of a Profound Level Ninth Grade, and each subsequent grade increase can further enhance power by thirty percent.
It can be said that if both are Profound Level bloodlines, the gap between different grades might be remedied. But if the bloodlines are of different levels, there will be at least a tenfold gap, which is irreparable.
Obviously, Yang Honglie must have encountered a great opportunity to transform his bloodline from Profound Level Ninth Grade to Earth Level First Grade.
"With such aptitude, it's merely decent. If placed in the entire Eastern Domain, it might not even rank in the top fifty."
Hearing Tang Miaoyin's words, Tang Liren curled his lips and said.
"My aptitude is ordinary, naturally far from being comparable to the world-shaking talents of His Highness, the Second Prince."
Back in the crowd, Yang Honglie heard these words and not only did not get angry, but instead smiled with compliments.
Everyone looked at Yang Honglie with disdain. This guy belittled himself so much just to please Tang Liren.
Though Yang Honglie's aptitude is not the best, it's comparable to the Ten Great Young Masters. How could it be ordinary? He is even considered a rare genius encountered once in a century.
"However, with your aptitude, you might just be the first among the Celestial Sword Sect."
Yang Honglie's flattery made Tang Liren quite comfortable; he smiled with satisfaction and spoke again.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, flatters me."
Yang Honglie said with a smile and then cast a provocative glance at Wang Ruoxie.
Although his words seemed modest, his proud smile revealed that he gladly accepted Tang Liren's praise.
"Ignorant."
Zong Yuzhe's eyes flashed with disdain.
Tang Miaoyin and Xiao Ningyue knitted their brows slightly but said nothing more.
Wang Ruoxie stood there expressionlessly, seeming not to be affected in the slightest.
At this time, Tang Miaoyin walked to the Jade Mirror and placed her palm on it.
"Talent: Nine-Star-and-a-half, Bloodline: Earth Level First Grade."
Tang Miaoyin's test result also drew a lot of astonishment, but everyone was not too surprised either.
After all, Tang Miaoyin is the Seventh Princess of the Royal Family, her bloodline is naturally not poor, and her Martial Arts Talent, although surpassing most people, still has some gap compared to Qin Heng and Yang Honglie.
Next, it was Zong Yuzhe's turn.
He walked arrogantly to the Jade Mirror and slowly raised his palm, pressing it onto the mirror.
"Buzz..."
A brilliant radiance burst forth instantly, and a line of text soon emerged.
"Talent: Eleven-Star-and-a-half, Bloodline: Earth Level Seventh Grade."
The instant this line of text appeared, the whole square fell silent, followed by a wave of exclamations echoing through the air.
"My God... Am I seeing this right, Eleven-Star-and-a-half Martial Arts Talent, Earth Level Seventh Grade Bloodline."
"His aptitude actually surpasses that of the Second Prince."
"Unbelievable, with such aptitude, one might be considered a top-tier genius even in the entire Eastern Domain."
...
Discussion and exclamations arose one after another, and many martial cultivators in the crowd showed envy.
With such aptitude, breaking through to the Innate Realm poses no problem, and there is a significant possibility of advancing to the Meridian Passage Realm, or even higher levels.
"Congratulations, with your aptitude, future achievements will surely be extremely glorious."
Nie Cang said with a big smile to Zong Yuzhe.
"Thank you, Elder Nie."
Zong Yuzhe cupped his fists to Nie Cang and said.
Then, amidst the gasps of admiration from the crowd, Zong Yuzhe walked off the battle platform proudly, and then looked with a smug gaze at Tang Liren and Yang Honglie, whose faces were rather gloomy.
Just now Tang Liren claimed Yang Honglie's aptitude was enough to be the first in the Celestial Sword Sect, now Zong Yuzhe had smashed their faces with his world-shaking aptitude.
Especially the words of Tang Liren earlier now seemed extremely ironic.
"Strong aptitude doesn't necessarily mean strong strength."
Yang Honglie said to comfort himself, with a gloomy face.
Although Tang Liren didn't say anything, his expression was livid, proving that his heart must be in turmoil at the moment.
Qin Heng, Qiu Yao, Ruan Junhao, and others also looked at Zong Yuzhe with complicated expressions.
"Zong Yuzhe, you have given us such a big surprise."
Zhou Wenzhi said with a smile to Zong Yuzhe, "Upon returning to the sect, I will propose to the Sect Leader to directly promote you to a True Disciple, and I will fully support you in vying for the position of Sect Leader."
"Thank you, Vice Sect Leader Zhou."
Zong Yuzhe's face lit up with joy upon hearing Zhou Wenzhi's words.
If supported by a Vice Sect Leader in vying for the Sect Leader position, his chances of becoming the next Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect would far exceed those of other True Disciples.
Nearby, Yang Honglie's face naturally grew even darker.
At this moment, Xiao Ningyue also stepped onto the battle platform, stood in front of the Jade Mirror, and gently placed her fair hand on it.
"Talent: Twelve-Star, Bloodline: Earth Level Ninth Grade."
As soon as this line of text appeared, the entire square fell into dead silence, and all eyes were firmly fixed on her.
Even the high-ranking figures from various forces were shocked.
Even the Sovereign Tang Xuanyi, seated stably on the dragon throne, showed a flash of shock in his eyes.
Those young talents who had tested their aptitude earlier and were quite self-satisfied, were all completely stunned.
Tang Liren, Yang Honglie, and Zong Yuzhe were all staring at Xiao Ningyue, dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.
"A monstrous genius."
Finally, after a long while, everyone slowly returned to their senses, all having a term pop into their minds simultaneously.
Twelve-Star Martial Arts Talent, Earth Level Ninth Grade Bloodline, with such monstrous aptitude, it's feared that even in the entire Eastern Domain, another one like this cannot be found.
