All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Just as the second round of testing began, a sudden burst of light shone on the stage.

A golden beam of light shot into the sky.

All eyes were fixed on the person who had caused the testing stone to shine so brightly.

Departments are not distinguished by good or bad, but by strength or weakness.

However, the level of talent can be directly identified.

Levels one through ten.

Levels one, two, and three are considered low-grade talents; levels four, five, and six are considered medium-grade talents; and levels seven, eight, and nine are considered high-grade talents.

Level 10 is considered top-tier talent.

Most people were found to have below-average or medium talent.

If even one person with exceptional talent emerges, they will already be considered a genius.

Such exceptional talents are extremely rare, with only a handful appearing in the entire Holy Feather Kingdom; they are practically legendary.

At this moment, the person on the stage is displaying superior talent.

Not only were others surprised, but even the head of the Liu family himself was extremely astonished.

If he remembered correctly, this person seemed to be one of his grandsons.

He has five sons, a huge number of grandchildren, and several great-grandchildren. How could he possibly remember them all?

This person looks somewhat familiar.

There is a trace of their family members.

This child may not have received much attention before, but now he can't be ignored.

He immediately burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, good! Good! You didn't disgrace the Liu family."

Everyone looked at the person on the stage with envy.

This person has the best talent to date.

That light shot straight up to level seven, making him a rare genius.

Despite his small and thin appearance and young age, his future achievements will only get better and better.

He seemed somewhat surprised and flustered as he looked at the testing stone in front of him, but he was mostly delighted.

He had worked hard to get this opportunity, but he never expected it to turn out like this.

That's great.

He will never have to be bullied again. With such great talent, he will surely be noticed by the head of the family.

He stared intently at the head of the Liu family, who also happened to turn his gaze to him, gave him a kind smile, and nodded.

He immediately smiled back.

The person taking the test next to him looked much better and asked with a smile, "Little one, what's your name?"

The man was a little nervous and said in a low voice, "My name is... Liu Yuanxiu."

The man immediately registered his name and talent level, then waved him off, saying, "Go back now, you're all set."

He returned the smile and skipped away.

This was the happiest day he had had in over a decade.

In the next three rounds, two more people with superior talents emerged.

In total, there are three superior talents, twenty-six medium talents, and twenty-one inferior talents.

This result is quite good.

Patriarch Liu nodded in satisfaction.

Patriarch Kou nodded at Patriarch Liu, "It seems that the Liu family has indeed produced some remarkable disciples this year."

Patriarch Liu replied with a smile, "It's alright, it's alright. My younger generation's talent is average, still not as good as the Kou and Hai families. I suppose your two families will have more young geniuses this year."

The head of the Kou family turned to look at Old Master Hai on the other side.

"What does Patriarch Hai think?"

Grandpa Hai said calmly, "The three of us are about the same level, so there's no need to compare who's better."

Then, turning to those behind him, he said, "Go and tell them to get ready to go up."

Then he turned to his two granddaughters sitting next to him and said, "You two go together."

Hai Lingruo raised her head and walked down with an arrogant expression.

She truly exuded the air of the eldest daughter of the Hai family, drawing everyone's attention.

Then, seeing the grotesque clown following behind her, everyone felt it was a bit of an eyesore.

"Look who's that person following Miss Hai? Why is he so ugly?"

"Yeah, she's ugly and doesn't even bother to cover up all those scars on her face. They're just showing, it's kind of scary."

"Exactly! Isn't this just deliberately designed to scare people?"

"Is that the new maid Miss Hai mentioned? Miss Hai never even bothers to find someone good-looking."

If Hai Xingruo happened to hear this, her smile would widen even more.

Look!

Feng Ning, that bastard, is not worthy of being compared to her.

The two of them walked together, one in heaven, the other on earth.

One is a proud daughter of heaven, the other is an ugly beggar!

She doesn't deserve to be the Hai family's daughter!

Feng Ning didn't care at all and didn't take their words to heart at all.

Anyway, she can't see her own face, so she doesn't care what she looks like.

It might be offensive to other people, but she doesn't mind.

Moreover, if this alone could frighten a group of cultivators, then they must be incredibly cowardly.

Cultivating immortality, my foot! You're more like a piece of trash!

She walked calmly into the group of fifty people.

People lined up at a distance.

She didn't want to argue with these people here; it was rather boring.

Others only whispered their criticisms, but dared not say them openly.

After all, this is the second young lady acknowledged by the head of the family. If they say anything unpleasant to her face, she might not let them off the hook.

If they were to complain to the head of the family, they would be in real trouble.

Most people didn't care and didn't ostracize her. They spontaneously lined up and walked forward in groups of ten, while she ended up at the back.

With such a great opportunity to stand out, Hai Lingruo naturally wanted to be the first to step forward.

Talent is assessed every five years.

In fact, Hai Ling had her talent tested early on, partly for her family's sake and partly out of her own curiosity.

Most people choose to have their children take the test when they are fifteen years old, mainly because they are afraid that if the children are too young and know about their talents, it will affect their character.

Those with exceptional talent will lose interest in cultivation, while those with less talent will give up on cultivation altogether.

These are all bad.

But people from large families don't have this worry. Even if someone lacks talent, they can use resources to help them improve.

So it's not a big deal to know in advance.

Feng Ning had long been aware of her talent, and after much deliberation, she decided to test it using ice magic.

In comparison, ice-type is a mutated talent. Firstly, it allows her to stand out, and secondly, with such a talent ahead of her, even if she cultivates faster, others can understand.

Currently, she's relying on the Hai family; if she releases too many, it might attract unwanted attention.

Just release one ice-type, that's enough.

Moreover, the Frost Technique she cultivates is exactly what ice-based techniques require.

Hai Lingruo went up in the first round and still shone brightly during the test.

A seventh-tier superior water-type talent.

Although it's not an offensive talent, it's still top-grade. Even for healing talents, it's extremely rare.
