Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 996: Wasted Talent



"Kid, you'd better not randomly give yourself titles."

The personnel of the academy stared seriously at Xiao Yi and said.

"You should be aware that lying during the entrance examination of the Heavenly Hidden Academy has severe consequences."

Xiao Yi nodded, naturally, he knew this.

If you deceive before even getting in, the academy won't be willing to let such a Heavenly Talent enter.

Additionally, here in the Central Region, the merits and task points required to advance titles in the Ancient Eight Halls are extraordinarily high.

Therefore, even those above the rank of Deacon are not something ordinary people can possess.

No wonder the academy personnel didn't believe it.

At this time, the academy personnel said in a deep voice, "Do you have any tokens with you?"

Xiao Yi nodded, taking out two tokens.

The academy personnel took one of them, and their expression changed, "It really is an Asura Hall Token, and it carries the Sub Hall Master title."

Speaking, the academy personnel took the other one and walked to the table beside, "Junior Brother Sunx, can you recognize if this is the token of your Wind Shattering Hall?"

The academy personnel with the surname Sun looked at the token, their expression changed, "Yes, it is a Wind Shattering Hall Token, and it carries the Chief Steward title."

"Really?" the academy personnel asked.

"Yes."

"Greetings, Sub Hall Master." The academy personnel slightly bowed to Xiao Yi, "I am Liuo Yun, a Deacon of Asura Hall in the Cloud Mountain Region."

"Greetings, Chief Steward." The person surnamed Sun also bowed, "I am Sunx Long, a Wind Master of the Wind Shattering Hall in the Shouhua Region."

"Uh," Xiao Yi nodded slightly, "No need for too much formality."

These two regions were unfamiliar to him.

However, in such a vast Central Region, it's normal not to recognize them.

In front of the table, Liuo Yun returned the two tokens to Xiao Yi, saying, "Sub Hall Master Xiao Yi, since both your titles are real, I can now give an evaluation."

Saying this, Liuo Yun glanced at the academy token, and the next second, inhaled sharply.

"Sub Hall Master Xiao Yi, you're only 23? No, not even that."

"Such a young Sub Hall Master..."

"The evaluation I give is Top-grade First Class."

Xiao Yi nodded, taking back the academy token.

Liuo Yun said, "Sub Hall Master Xiao Yi, you've participated in all six exams."

"Next, go directly to the foot of the mountain where other academy personnel will receive you."

"Alright." Xiao Yi nodded, going past the table, and continued forward.

Although he had seen the majestic mountain from a distance before, he had not yet reached its foot.

The six exams he had participated in, he roughly understood them.

The six exams were Martial Soul, Martial Arts, Cultivation, Age, Taoist Body, and Influence.

And those sitting at the table responsible for giving evaluations were surely experts in each respective field.

The so-called specialization in the industry means that nobody can be proficient in everything.

But surely each person is proficient in the area they are responsible for.

At least, the Heavenly Talents coming to participate couldn't deceive them.

In the first exam, the nearly a hundred academy personnel were all well-versed and could accurately identify various Martial Souls.

In the second exam, it was the martial artists specializing in multiple Daos, or those with mixed cultivation, who could accurately differentiate various Martial Arts.

The third exam... the fourth... the fifth...

In the sixth exam, those nearly a hundred academy personnel were definitely martial artists from the Ancient Eight Halls and some significant powers.

Therefore, the martial artists coming for the examination could not deceive them by merely showing their force's token.

Additionally, the evaluations of the six exams were divided into Low Grade, Mid-grade, High Grade, and Top-grade, each grade further divided into three classes.

Low Grade Third Class being the lowest and Top-grade First Class being the highest.

Just the entrance exam with such detailed and strict evaluation standards.

The Heavenly Hidden Academy truly lives up to its name.

However, Xiao Yi understood the first five exams were factors in judging a martial artist's talent.

But the sixth exam, Influence, was still puzzling for him.

Xiao Yi didn't quite understand, but he didn't bother to care much.

By this time, he had completely reached the foot of the majestic mountain.

Just approaching, one could feel the massive presence of the mountain imposing pressure on them.

And below, there were currently ten elders.

In front of the ten elders were the Heavenly Talents who had passed the previous six exams.

Each Heavenly Talent respectfully handed their token to one elder in front.

The elder took the token, sensed it for a while, but the words varied greatly.

"Based on your evaluation from the 6 exams, my comprehensive assessment is, Unqualified."

"Go back the way you came; you have no destiny with the Heavenly Hidden Academy."

"Based on your evaluation from the 6 exams, my comprehensive assessment is, Excellent."

"The six exams, temporarily passed, stand behind me."

"..."

The ten elders quickly accepted each Heavenly Talent's token and rapidly gave evaluations.

Some Heavenly Talents passed luckily, standing happily behind one of the elders.

Some Heavenly Talents, lacking aptitude, were deemed unqualified and left dejectedly.

However, before leaving, they all gave their best strike to the elder who evaluated them.

Only after the elder shook their head did they leave disappointedly.

Each Heavenly Talent received a rapid evaluation.

Not long after, it was Xiao Yi's turn.

Xiao Yi casually walked up to one elder and handed over his token.

The elder accepted it but didn't rush to evaluate, instead furrowing his brows, "Why is this so strange?"

"First exam, Martial Soul, Fire Control Beast, Low Grade First Class."

"Second exam, Martial Arts, Ice Sword Dao, Top-grade First Class."

"Third exam, Cultivation, Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer, Mid-grade First Class."

"Fourth exam, Age, under 23, High Grade Third Class."

"Fifth exam, Taoist Body, None."

"Sixth exam, Influence, Top-grade First Class."

"Kid, what's going on?" The elder frowned at Xiao Yi, "Why such a large discrepancy in evaluations?"

"Evaluations above High Grade are only possible for Heavenly Talents that are one in ten thousand."

"Above Top-grade, especially Top-grade First Class, is the highest evaluation only Supreme Geniuses can get."

"Top-grade First Class, you have two, while the rest are either Mid-grade or Low Grade, or directly None."

"This..." Xiao Yi felt a bit helpless.

The evaluations were given by the academy personnel; what could he reply?

At this time, another elder with measured steps came by and sensed Xiao Yi's academy token.

"Ha, is this a weirdo?" The elder laughed.

"Other Heavenly Talents, even with certain evaluation discrepancies, maintain within three levels."

"This kid, how come there's cross-grade denomination everywhere?"

The elder in front of Xiao Yi smirked, "How am I supposed to give a comprehensive evaluation?"

"Just follow the rules and standards." The slowly approaching elder said.

The elder in front nodded, "Alright then."

"According to the rules, my comprehensive evaluation is Mid-grade Second Class, only barely passing."

"Mainly because of this first exam Martial Soul, Fire Control Beast, what a terrible Martial Soul."

"Alas, such exceptional talent wasted on this kid."

...

Second update.
