Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

Ye Yue and Ye Hu looked excited. Although this talent test was no different from the previous ones, they were indeed considered quite good among so many people.

After finishing the test, Ye Qing came to Ye Wuxi's side and said with a smile, "Wuxi, aren't you going?"

Ye Wuxi smiled and said, "No rush, let's take another look."

She mainly wanted to see if Qin Hao had talent before making any plans, and soon there were only a few people left in the arena.

Not far away, Qin Hao, dressed in a white brocade robe, glanced at Ye Wuxi and was about to step forward to test her.

Lin Qianrou smiled and said, "Go, Brother Hao..."

Qin Hao smiled and stepped forward, placing his palm on the stone tablet.

The six sections beneath the test pillar suddenly lit up with a red light, indicating a mid-sixth rank of fire attribute.

The disciples in the training ground narrowed their eyes; the difference between each rank was enormous. Qin Hao was indeed not someone to be underestimated.

Qin Hao withdrew his hand, smiling with satisfaction. So far, his talent was the highest; even Ye Wuxi had only been at his level before.

Lin Qianrou had a hint of pride in her eyes. She quickly stepped forward and took his arm, saying obediently, "Rou'er knew it! Brother Hao is the strongest!"

Lin Dongxu, standing on the high platform, turned his head and asked, "Elder, what do you think of Qin Hao?"

Elder Sun nodded. "Sixth-grade talent, not bad."

Yan Jingyao said with a half-smile, "With just a sixth-rank qualification, Elder Sun probably won't be able to specially recruit this boy into the Heavenly Sword Sect."

The Heavenly Sword Sect primarily cultivates swordsmanship, and its recruitment of disciples has always been strict; talent, combat prowess, willpower, and swordsmanship are all indispensable.

Lin Dongxu's eyes darkened, while Elder Sun said calmly, "Let's wait and see. His talent is up to par, isn't it?"

Yan Jingyao snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that Qin Hao had finished his test, Ye Wuxi pondered for a moment before heading towards the testing monument. She didn't want to reveal her Five Elements Physique, but without some decent talent, she feared she wouldn't catch the eye of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

She now understood that Qin Hao must have established connections with the Heavenly Sword Sect through the royal family. If he had found a powerful backer within the Heavenly Sword Sect, dealing with him would be much more difficult.

Ye Wuxi was previously recognized as a genius in Tianfeng Kingdom, and seeing her go for the test aroused everyone's curiosity.

Qin Hao, his face grim, stared intently at the testing monument. Nothing should go wrong, Lin Qianrou snorted coldly.

Ye Wuxi slowly placed her palm on the testing pillar and immediately felt a strange power emanating from the stone tablet, probing her entire body.

Just as that force was about to touch his dantian, he suddenly hesitated and dared not move forward.

To outsiders, the stone tablet, which should have responded instantly, failed to light up for a long time.

Even Yan Jingyao and Sun Sheng on the high platform were somewhat puzzled. This kind of talent testing monument was a must-have for almost every sect, so this situation was rather unusual...

Elder Wang's face also showed confusion. Could there be something wrong with the stone tablet?

Ye Wuxi also noticed the abnormality. This situation was either caused by her master or by that sapling...

After a moment's thought, Ye Wuxi actively activated the power of his water and fire dantian.

The test marker, which had previously shown no response, immediately lit up.

Everyone stared intently at the stone tablet.

The test monument was illuminated by intertwined blue and red light, quickly surpassing Qin Hao's six sections, and continued until the eighth section.

Ye Wuxi quickly withdrew her hand and continued testing. The result was definitely far beyond the eighth rank, but the eighth rank was enough; anything higher would be too conspicuous.

She originally only wanted to maintain the water attribute as before, but according to legend, if a person with a fire attribute has a certain level of soul power, they can become an alchemist. To avoid future trouble, she thought it best to reveal her fire attribute in advance...

Water and Fire Dual Attributes, Rank 8

"How can this be……"

The disciples in the training ground were all somewhat incredulous. Eighth grade? That was already a top-grade talent, and it was even dual-attribute! Most people could only cultivate a single attribute. Only when two attributes of the same grade were balanced could it be called dual-attribute…

Qin Hao and Lin Qianrou were both stunned. "How could this be...?" Ye Wuxi was clearly a sixth-grade water attribute cultivator before.

Lin Dongxu, who was on the high platform, also suddenly stood up. He himself only had the talent of the seventh rank, so how could Ye Wuxi suddenly become the eighth rank, even surpassing him?

Yan Jingyao's face showed a hint of surprise, "It's rare for Tianfeng Kingdom to produce someone with an eighth-grade talent..."

After his initial surprise, Elder Sun was somewhat puzzled, "This little girl has an eighth-grade talent, how come she's only at the ninth level of the Spirit Martial Realm..."

Yan Jingyao also frowned, "This is strange... Even if the cultivation resources are poor, the cultivation level shouldn't be this low..."

Elder Sun turned his head and asked, "Dongxu, do you know this girl?"

Compared to Ye Wuxi, Qin Hao's sixth-grade talent is nothing special now, after all, the gap between high-grade and mid-grade talent is huge.

Lin Dongxu's expression was not good. He was probably just making a wedding dress for the Ye family today; damn it.

However, he could only tell the truth, "This is a member of the Ye family, named Ye Wuxi..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xicheng, who was not far away, quickly stood up and respectfully said, "Reporting to the Elder, Wuxi is my daughter..."

If my daughter could gain the favor of the Heavenly Sword Sect, that would be extraordinary.

Yan Jingyao became somewhat interested, "Oh, why is this girl only at the Spirit Martial Realm..."

Ye Xicheng said helplessly, "Elder, my daughter had already broken through to the Xuanwu Realm, but unfortunately her dantian was destroyed by a villain a few months ago. She only woke up three months ago and was only able to recover thanks to the help of a master, and started cultivating again..."

Yan Jingyao and Elder Sun were even more astonished, "You mean she broke through from the first level of the Spirit Martial Realm to the ninth level in just three months..."

Ye Xicheng nodded, "That's right, everyone in the capital knows about this..."

Lin Dongxu's expression was not good. He had originally thought that the Qin family's kid was better and wanted to win him over, but he didn't expect to have bet on the wrong horse. He knew perfectly well how Ye Wuxi's cultivation had been crippled...

Yan Jingyao and Sun Sheng exchanged a knowing smile, never expecting that they had actually struck gold today...

Seeing that Elder Sun also seemed quite satisfied, Lin Dongxu quickly said, "Elder, what about Qin Hao..."

Elder Sun, however, seemed somewhat uninterested and said, "Let's take another look."

A look of wild joy flashed across Wang Yan's face as he stood beside the testing monument. If he could bring back the dual-attribute eighth-grade talent to the sect, he would also receive a reward.

However, thinking of the two people on the high platform, he couldn't help but frown. Could it be that the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect knew about this and came here on purpose?

After carefully examining Ye Wuxi, Wang Yan frowned and asked the same question as Sun Sheng.

Ye Wuxi explained with a faint smile, and Wang Yan nodded. With so many people around, it was absolutely impossible to fake it; this woman was truly extraordinary…

Suppressing his thoughts and retrieving the stone tablet, Wang Yan returned to the platform and announced loudly, "The first round of testing is over. All participants whose jade tokens have lit up, please remain on the field. Those who remain are eliminated and must withdraw immediately..."

Most of the people left dejectedly. They were considered among the better disciples from their respective cities, yet they couldn't even pass the first test.

When only five hundred people remained on the field, the surrounding area erupted in cheers. Martial arts battles are always more exciting; good talent doesn't necessarily mean strong combat power.

However, the aloof woman in the sky-blue dress on the stage was deeply imprinted in their hearts. No wonder, she possessed an eighth-grade talent, the first of its kind in the Tianfeng Kingdom. This generation had truly witnessed a genius...

Wang Yan turned his head to look at the two people from the Heavenly Sword Sect and asked cautiously, "Elders, did you only say you were passing by..."
