Su Mo did not take Duan Jingtian’s words to heart because he was also stunned by the result!
Rank 1 Yellow Class talent!
“This got to be a joke. How could his talent be so low?”
Nine levels of talent: red, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, purple, gold and rainbow. As a Rank 1 Yellow Class talent, his talent would be considered on the lowest end!
He looked at the jade tournament badge in his hand, and indeed the words that appeared on it were “Rank 1 Yellow Class”!
This was the final result.
Su Mo was worried, with a Rank 1 Yellow Class talent, it was almost certain that he would be eliminated from the first round.
“This doesn’t make sense!” Su Mo was very confused.
With his Martial Soul currently at Rank 3 Earth Class, it was impossible that he would have Rank 1 Yellow Class talent!
“Could this testing pillar assess based on the earliest form of my Devouring Martial Soul? The nature of my Martial Soul? The initial level it took?” Su Mo thought. After running through all the possibilities, this was the only reason that made sense.
Should the testing pillar assess his talent based on his Martial Soul, then his Devouring Martial Soul was Rank 1 Human Class Martial Soul at the very beginning.
With a Rank 1 Human Class Martial Soul, even if he ultimately exhibited talents in other areas, such as having great willpower, or an excellent physique, it would not help in his ranking one bit.
The testing pillar was engineered to assess your talent based on a combination of factors. With a Martial Soul of the lowest level at Rank 1 Human Class, his overall talent ranking would instantly be dragged down by it.
“Yes, this must be it!” The more Su Mo thought about it, the more it made sense.
“You may step down. Next!” The middle-aged examiner representing Sky-sea Pavillion commanded, upon seeing Su Mo remained standing in front of the testing pillar and refused to leave.
Su Mo pondered, bit his teeth and said, “Can I test again?”
Su Mo decided to undergo the test again with a plan in mind. He knew that if he did not test again, he would be eliminated immediately and lose his chance to compete.
“What? You want to test again?” The middle-aged man was first stunned, then his face sank.
If every contestant requested to be re-assessed due to their dissatisfaction with their results, the test would go on forever!
“You are just a Rank 1 Yellow Class talent, no matter how many times you test, its considered trash talent anyway. No need to re-test!” The middle-aged man rejected his request coldly, without hesitation.
At the spectators stand, many people started to laugh at the sight of Su Mo shamelessly requesting for another test.
“My goodness! Has this guy not embarrassed himself enough? He actually wants to be humiliated all over again!”
“Ha Ha! A trash talent will always be a trash talent. Even if you test one thousand times, will still not change that fact!”
“Now I’m curious. How did a guy with such trash talent reach the True Spirit Realm?”
Su Mo’s actions caused an uproar in the spectators stand, but most of them dismissed him in contempt for his lack of self-awareness.
Elder Wei, the Second Elder and the rest could not help but shudder. “This was too embarrassing! How could Su Mo want to go through this again?”
Duan Jingtian shook his head in the stands, with his lips curling into a sneer.
The white veiled ninth princess seated with the Great Hong Empire’s representatives, appraised Su Mo curiously. She was also doubting in her mind.
If Su Mo’s talent was truly Rank 1 Yellow Class talent, it would be impossible for him to reach his current cultivation of Lv 3 True Spirit Realm.
Su Mo frowned at the middle-aged man’s words and said “There’s a mistake in the earlier test. My talent is way above that of a Rank 1 Yellow Class!”
“A mistake?” Irritation flickered across the middle-aged man’s face, as he sneered and said, “There’s no problem with the testing pillar. How would you explain that no one but yourself has an issue with the test?”
“Leave now, and stop wasting time!” The middle-aged man shouted as he waved Su Mo away.
Su Mo’s temper sparked, as he said coldly, “I would already be done with the test from the time you spent talking!”
“I’m requesting to do the test again. My talent is definitely not a Rank 1 Yellow Class!” Su Mo said confidently.
The middle-aged man’s face stiffened, as he scoffed, saying “Fine, since you are so determined to prove how useless you are, go ahead and do the test!”
The middle-aged man did not bother to hide his contempt as Su Mo’s obstinate attitude infuriated him. He was planning to humiliate Su Mo again when the test was over.
Su Mo took a deep breath, and stepped forward, pressing his palm against the white testing pillar for the second time.
Most people in the stands looked on with interest, waiting for Su Mo to make a fool of himself.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
Once again, that bizarre force entered Su Mo’s body, assessing all aspects.
Su Mo remained unfazed. The moment that bizarre force assessed his Devouring Martial Soul, he instantly activated his Martial Soul.
This time, Su Mo did not activate his Devouring Martial Soul, but all the other Martial Souls that had been devoured by him.
Instantly, he secretly activated the golden saber Martial Soul, the small beast Martial Soul, and the countless other Martial Souls devoured by him.
Su Mo was hit by a wave of giddiness, as a large amount of willpower was required to activate so many Martial Souls at once. Although Su Mo had a stronger willpower than most, even he was beginning to struggle with effort in activating all these Martial Souls at the same time.
The moment that bizarre force assessed his dozens of Martial Souls, the light shining on the testing pillar started to change, instantly turning into rainbow color.
The rainbow-colored light was dazzling, filling all ten sections of the testing pillar, illuminating the entire Archean Fighting Ring.
The crowd fell into a dead silence as everyone was stunned by the result.
The middle-aged examiner, who stood by the pillar, stared in disbelief.
On the eastern side of the stands, Duan Jingtian’s smile froze on his face, with his mouth gaping wide open.
“Rainbow color? The highest rank?”
“Color Class Rank 10 talent?”
CRASH!
The crowd rose to their feet, gazing intently at the Test Pillar for Talent as if they were bearing witness to the most incredible phenomenon.
After a short while, everyone in the Archean Fighting Ring went into an uproar.
“Damn it! What did I just see?”
“How could this be? This is definitely impossible!”
“Color Class Rank 10? Is this a joke? How could his talent be so high?”
“… ”
All hell broke loose in the spectators stand, with the crowd going wild at the result. This was a hundred times more shocking than when the ninth princess of the Great Hong Empire tested as a Rank 1 Golden Class talent.
Su Mo was also struck dumb by the result.
He guessed that the testing pillar assessed the nature of his Devouring Martial Soul, hence, he activated the other Martial Souls in his possession for the testing pillar to assess. However, he did not expect these Martial Souls to push his talent ranking to the highest level.
Yet, since the result was so bewildering, it would cast doubt on the reliability of this test pillar.
Su Mo quickly de-activated at least half of the Martial Souls he was harnessing.
Su Mo decided to lower the result of this test, otherwise, a rainbow color talent would cause too much attention.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
Under Su Mo’s control, the light shining on the testing pillar started to change from rainbow to teal.
Su Mo was rendered speechless at the sight.
Teal Class talent would be considered too low. Thus, Su Mo started to activate a dozen more Martial Souls.
Shortly after, the teal light started to change again and turned purple.
“Purple Class talent?”
Su Mo felt that it was still a little too high. He did not want to be too high profile, so he de-activated a few more Martial Souls.
Once again, the colors of the light from the testing pillar started to change again, turning blue.
In everyone’s perspective, the testing pillar was always changing the colors of the light, fluctuating from high rank to low rank.
At the spectators stand, everyone was stunned, frozen at the ever-changing colors on the testing pillar.
