The King of the Gods
Chapter 83: Future Potential
In the hall, the youths were on tiptoes.
Zhao Feng furrowed his brows, he refused to believe that none of the Ten Sky Guards had been seen by Lord Guanjun in just one glance.
“Nine ranks of the Martial Path are just a foundation. In this place, strength, cultivation, and skills are not important if you are unable to reach the next realm. ” Lord Guanjun's voice sounded in the hall.
Those words seemed half understood and half strange in the young man's ears. Few were able to understand the meaning of Lord Guanjun's words.
"According to him, the nine tiers of the Martial Path were just a foundation... At this stage, even if your strength is stronger than others, it is useless if you are unable to reach the next realm." Zhao Feng understood something.
He remembered one month ago when he spoke to Master Ye.
Master Ye had said: "The nine ranks of the Martial Path train the body and bones and form the foundation."
Now, Zhao Feng had remembered this deeply and he realized that the true purpose of the nine ranked Martial Path was not about killing or skill.
"This young man dared to ask, if cultivation and strength are not important in the nine ranks of the Martial Path, then what is it?" Feng Hanyue stood up and asked respectfully. As he did so, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.
The other Nine Sky Guards could not help but sweat as well and admire his courage.
Lord Guanjun seemed to have a good impression of Feng Hanyue: “Power is second at this stage because the future is the most important. A path that can take you further!”
Future tense.
A path that can take you further!
Zhao Feng immediately understood. When one had reached the level of Lord Guanjun, they had a different view.
Giving an example: A martial artist might be the strongest in his entire rank, but if he did not have the potential and could not break through to the seventh rank to become a martial master, then he would be a martial artist, then there was no point in him being the strongest in the world. And as such, they would not be raised by these factions.
It also meant that Lord Guanjun's gaze had seen the potential of the Ten Sky Guards and that he had not paid much attention to their current strength.
Clearly, those with better potential usually had higher cultivation, which was why he would choose disciples from the Ten Celestial Guardians.
"Even though I say this, you still need to be tested." As Lord Guanjun said this, he took out a transparent ball-sized crystal the size of a fist.
This ball is made of a unique material. Under his signal, Bei Moi took out a crystal ball and gave it to the Ten Sky Guards.
"That's that thing!" Nan Gongfan felt his heart jump.
That year he came with Bei Moi to the Spiritual Martial Hall, Lord Guanjun also took out this.
Lord Guanjun said: “This is a special item in the world because it can measure one's future potential. It can estimate your future potential by around ninety-nine percent. ”
Hearing this, the youths could not help but feel nervous.
"An item can even measure one's potential!" Zhao Feng was interested.
At this moment, Bei Moi handed the crystal ball to Feng Hanyue.
"Close your eyes and put your Inner Consciousness and Strength into them." Mr. Guanjun told him.
"Yes sir."
Feng Hanyue took a deep breath and calmed himself. He then focused his energy onto the crystal ball in his hand.
Weng~
A white circle of light appeared within the sphere.
One circle, two circles, three circles.. five circles!”.
The fifth circle has turned green but unlike the first four circles it is white.
“You have surpassed the fourth circle, which means your potential exceeds that of a mortal body. Although it's okay, it's still not good enough to be my core disciple. ” Mr Guanjun says.
Hearing this, Feng Hanyue's eyes dimmed. He had the highest cultivation in the Ten Sky Guards, but in the eyes of Lord Guanjun he was simply mediocre.
Looking at Feng Hanyue's appearance, the other geniuses felt even more nervous.
Soon, it's Lei Cong's turn. Lei Cong took out the crystal ball with trembling hands and he ended up drowning his consciousness into it.
A white circle of light appeared on the inside of the sphere.
One circle, two circles, three circles, four circles!
The white circle stopped at the fourth and the fifth did not appear at all.
“Your potential has reached human limits, but it is still too far from my target.” Master Guanjun shook his head.
How can it be like this!?
Lei Cong's face was as black as charcoal, as if he had lost his soul.
The evaluation he received was much worse than Feng Hanyue's. Feng Hanyue had at least received an average evaluation.
Next, it was Lu Xiaoyu's turn.
"My turn."
Lu Xiaoyu stared in seriousness as she stuffed her consciousness into the ball. Inside the ball, three white circles appeared then they spat out another half circle. The third circle and a half were slightly worse than Lei Cong.
"A genius in humans, but that's not enough on the real world stage." Master Guanjun shook his head.
Other than Feng Hanyue, the other two did not even reach Lord Guanjun's limit.
He also thought about what Lord Guanjun meant by the real world stage. After Lu Xiaoyu, Zhao Yufei's turn.
Zhao Yufei closed his eyes and held the crystal with his jade-like hand.
Weng~
A circle is released on the inside of the crystal, but three circles appear then five and then four, very unstable and not white or green in color.
“Hm?”
Lord Guanjun thought hard. Zhao Yufei's situation was different from that of the other youths.
"Could it be that Yufei's potential is unique?" Zhao Feng thought.
Lord Guanjun opened his mouth after some thought: "Your potential is special, but it shouldn't surpass Feng Hanyue."
Receiving such an evaluation, Zhao Yufei sighed.
After Zhao Yufei finished, it was the fifth turn, then the sixth, then the seventh ...
The young men after him did not even reach the bottom line of Lord Guanjun.
"My turn." Huang Qi took over the crystal from Bei Moi with trembling hands.
Immediately, three semicircles appeared within the crystal. His potential was on par with Lu Xiaoyu and he was still top level in the Ten Sky Guards, but he was not good enough for Lord Guanjun.
It failed!
Huang Qi was depressed, he was the top genius of Pearl Tree City and he wanted to show off his skills in Provincial City, but he did not even reach the minimum standard of Lord Guanjun.
Li Ziwen's turn after Huang Qi.
Li Ziwen was the young man who was on Lu Xiaoyu's team during the mission.
"MY… "
Li Ziwen was very nervous and she could not calm down.
Pa!
Bei Moi slapped his back and Li Ziwen felt his blood cool down. Li Ziwen's testing was useless, he only had three circles.
"Next." Lord Guanjun said expressionlessly.
The continuation?
Zhao Fengs heart surged. Finally it was her turn.
The last of the Ten Sky Guards was Zhao Feng.
At this moment, the gazes of everyone present turned to him. At this moment, Zhao Feng could feel Zhao Yufei's hope and confidence. He could feel the smile of the Third Guard and Ye Linyun.
They had high hopes for Zhao Feng's potential because Zhao Feng had reached the seventh rank and he was one of the youngest among the Ten Sky Guards.
Before that, Zhao Feng had been the first in the assassination mission and he had memories that even exceeded Bei Moi.
Bei Moi handed the crystal ball to Zhao Feng with interest in his eyes. He had a deep impression of Zhao Feng because he was the only person who could defeat him in terms of memorization.
He was a little depressed after losing to Zhao Feng that day. Now he would see how strong Zhao Fengs potential was.
“Master, this is the young man whose memory is better than Bei Moi and the one who got first in the bandit cleaning mission. Not only that, he was also the youngest among the Ten Sky Guards.” The Third Guard said in a low voice.
"Oh?"
Curiosity and interest flashed in Lord Guanjun's eyes.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhao Feng took the crystal and put his consciousness as well as his Inner Strength into it.
Weng~
The first circle immediately appeared.
What the hell is going on!?
Zhao Fengs heart surged as he discovered that after one circle appeared, the next one formed very slowly. Even when he fully incorporated his consciousness into it, only one half circle was formed.
Hm?
The people watching became stiff. Zhao Fengs potential should not be weaker than Feng Hanyue's.
Lord Guanjun was disappointed and he was about to say something.
Peh Peh's! Peh…
Zhao Feng suddenly heard a jumping sound from within his left eye which sent a hot hiss all over his body.
Weng~
The white circle that had stopped moving suddenly moved forward again and reached two circles.
Once two circles are reached, a white circle continues to form. Two circles. three circles…
