Chapter 109: Genius Su Chen, Shocking the Entire Audience_2
Su Chen focused his gaze and saw the broad-shouldered Elder White-haired Spirit Master holding a young boy's right palm, deftly touching several acupoints on the boy's palm with his finger. Soon, he announced the boy's name and beast cultivation level!
"Treven, One-star Beast Warrior."
His voice was flat and unremarkable. From the data card, it was clear this boy was already fifteen years old. Fifteen years, a One-star Beast Warrior, a very ordinary qualification. A nearby official quickly noted down the boy's beast cultivation information.
Next was the second boy. Su Chen noticed he carried a cold weapon resembling a steel ruler on his back. The Elder Spirit Master seemed to glance at the weapon on the boy's back, then extended his calloused right hand.
The boy's expression was indifferent, showing no hint of nervousness. He calmly extended his left palm, letting the Elder Spirit Master hold it.
Everyone watched the Elder Spirit Master with wide eyes. A subtle and consistent atmosphere called expectation permeated the air.
"Three-star Beast Warrior..."
The Elder Spirit Master seemed momentarily surprised, then frowned a little. He looked down again at the data card in his left hand, which clearly recorded the boy's details: Trebo, thirteen years old!
A faint smile quickly appeared on his aged and authoritative face, "Trebo, Three-star Beast Warrior."
"Three-star Beast Warrior?"
Someone in the crowd couldn't resist expressing their surprise out loud! But as soon as they did, they immediately covered their mouth, afraid they'd lose their special training qualification. Instantly, dozens of eyes in the crowd filled with astonishment looked at each other, shaking their heads while making sounds of amazement. Even Siger Meiruo and Xige Zhuxue were slightly surprised.
A Three-star Beast Warrior, especially such a young beast cultivator, appearing in the Trey Clan of Nadas City? It was truly surprising news. Because they knew that the Trey Clan was merely a third-rate small family, who wouldn't even be invited to the City Lord's birthday banquet. But now, such a genius appeared, everyone knew the future prospects of the Trey Clan.
The Elder Spirit Master quickly finished assessing the first team, reviewing the beast cultivation levels of the five members of the Trey Clan. After the official beside him recorded it, they read the Trey Clan's data aloud again to show fairness. Then, two slightly younger Spirit Masters also began their assessments according to the Elder Spirit Master's method, one by one.
The assessments for one hundred and fifty people, under the scrutiny of the three experienced Spirit Masters, were almost complete. Finally, it was Su Chen's team's turn. He followed behind Siger Meiruo, slowly approaching the Elder Spirit Master.
"Miss Siger."
The Elder Spirit Master's face revealed a smile. As a celebrity in Nadas City, he recognized Siger Meiruo, a daughter of heaven.
Siger Meiruo smiled slightly at him, extending her fair, jade-like hand. The Elder Spirit Master gently held her jade-like hand and quickly stated the assessment result, "Siger Meiruo, One-star Beast Master!"
Su Chen's expression changed!
After hearing the sound of intakes of breath, he slowly came back to himself, but his gaze at Siger Meiruo was already filled with surprise. He never expected that this delicate-looking woman would possess such impressive beast cultivation strength.
Siger Meiruo seemed to anticipate his reaction, smiling with a look that said, how about it, my beast cultivation talent isn't bad, right?
"Xige Zhuxue, Three-star Beast Warrior."
Before Su Chen could finish being surprised, the Elder Spirit Master threw out a second bombshell!
Su Chen's mouth twitched hard, his gaze shifting from Siger Meiruo to the proud face of Xige Zhuxue, thinking to himself, she seems to be only fourteen, too. It seems neither of these women from the Siger family should be underestimated.
Next, the Elder Spirit Master quickly confirmed the beast cultivation levels of Xige Yun and Sigeru, both fourteen years old, and coincidentally, both were Two-star Beast Warriors. When the two walked past Su Chen, they even snorted disdainfully.
Su Chen ignored their provocation entirely, heading straight for the Elder Spirit Master. He seemed to feel many gazes focusing on him simultaneously. Since when did he draw so much attention? he wondered silently.
The Elder Spirit Master looked at his appearance, frowning slightly. He could tell that Su Chen was an Easterner. But in the end, he still extended his right hand, though his expression was far from friendly as before. To him, even if the Easterner Su Chen was Miss Siger's good friend, he could never match the beast cultivation talent of Westerners. But soon, he regretted his assumption.
Su Chen extended his left hand, letting the Elder Spirit Master hold it. At that moment, he seemed to feel a strange power transmit to his heart, causing a shiver!
"Hmm?"
The Elder Spirit Master's brow quickly furrowed, while the official responsible for recording stopped as well.
"You're Su Chen?"
The Elder Spirit Master seemed to be confirming something. Instantly, more boys and girls, whether awaiting assessment or already assessed, looked towards Su Chen.
Su Chen only nodded slightly. He was filled with confidence.
The Elder Spirit Master, unsure, conducted the assessment again, his expression still carrying a hint of doubt. This reaction was unprecedented.
"Impossible, at barely over ten years old, to have reached the Four-star Beast Warrior level, and even at the peak of Four-star?"
The Elder Spirit Master finally felt ashamed, speaking words that shocked everyone!
"A Four-star Beast Warrior at barely over ten years old?"
Someone in the crowd couldn't hold back, blurting out!
It was like a stone causing a thousand ripples. These youths, who were usually deemed the pride of their families, all looked at Su Chen with faces filled with shock. They shook their heads, marveled, widened their eyes, or clicked their tongues, all filled with disbelief.
"A twelve-year-old Four-star Beast Warrior, I can only say one word, incredible!"
A red-haired, handsome young man gave a thumbs up.
"I never thought a lad from the East could be so powerful. I, Harris, am impressed."
Another red-haired, burly boy nodded frequently at Su Chen's back.
All this time, the Golden Wind Empire stood proudly as the number one nation in the West. Not only were its military and economy far ahead of those of other countries, but even the number of beast cultivation experts vastly surpassed any other nation.
In the vast sea of humanity, there were many so-called genius youths. Just step into any big city, and you could find a trove of so-called genius youths. But when there are too many geniuses, they're no longer considered geniuses but ordinary people. At such times, someone extraordinarily brilliant needs to step up to break the stalemate. And Su Chen seemed surprisingly to be that person.
Hearing the exclamations around him, he slowly turned his head back, his handsome and exceptional face showing a calm expression incongruent with his age.
At this moment, more than a hundred gazes focused on him, but he suddenly remembered the bitterness of his childhood. His mother, holding him while out walking, was ridiculed and mocked by many along their path. They were either Su Family kin or the lowest of servants and maids, yet all felt ashamed of him as a child. Because he was born with an ominous sign, a jinx!
For years, he grew up amid such ridicule and mockery. His father and mother bore all external pressure, leaving the best things for him, just to witness his rise.
Yes, honor, status, and strength, these are the best gifts he could return to his parents!
A glint of determination flashed in Su Chen's eyes. This determination left everyone watching him astounded.
"Did you see the light in his eyes? That's scary!"
"Does he have enemies here? Hopefully, we won't encounter him in the Forest of Death!"...
Su Chen slowly rejoined his group. Thinking she had gained a slight advantage, Xige Zhuxue threw him a flirtatious glance, teasing with a smile, "Wow, I didn't expect it, you look so gentle and weak, yet your strength is so formidable?"
"Hehe, I told you all, Su Chen's brother's talent far surpasses everyone else's."
Siger Meiruo looked at Su Chen with admiration.
While she considered her beast cultivation talent not inferior to anyone in her family, a comparison with Su Chen clearly showed the difference. When she was first promoted to a Four-star Beast Warrior, she was already fifteen. And now, at nineteen, she barely reached a One-star Beast Warrior, with her progress slowing, and her talent value naturally declining.
"Alright, let's get in line, or we'll end up at the back of the line."
Siger Meiruo said with a smile.
