This question voiced what everyone was eager to know!
If nine rings signify a genius, then what does twelve rings mean?
At this moment, Bai Yi smiled gently, his voice echoing throughout the venue as he said, “According to the regulations of our Qingyun Academy, anyone who exceeds nine rings is deemed to possess the talent of a peerless prodigy. This applies to ten, eleven, and twelve rings alike.”
A peerless prodigy!
Many people were left in utter astonishment.
The Qin family had truly given birth to a peerless prodigy this time.
Liuyue City, it seemed, was on the brink of a seismic shift.
With the emergence of Qin Hao from the Qin family, how could the Wang, Wei, and Yun families still claim equality with the Qin family?
Upon hearing this, Qin Yongda burst into laughter and declared, “Today, my Qin family will host a grand banquet. Anyone in Liuyue City who wishes to attend will be warmly welcomed.”
Upon hearing this, many people offered their congratulations with clasped hands.
However, Qin Yansong, who had come from the Qin clan, snorted coldly and said, “It’s just the first round. What’s there to be so pleased about?”
Qin Yongda, somewhat intimidated by this powerful figure from the Qin clan, forced a smile and said, “Yes, yes, you’re right. I was being presumptuous…”
Yet, in his heart, he didn’t really care.
Once his son, Qin Hao, became a strong cultivator of the Qin clan, reaching the Yuanfu or even the Tiangang realm, someone like Qin Yansong wouldn’t even be qualified to tie his shoes.
On the main platform, Mentor Murong Ying chuckled and said, “It seems the Qin clan’s decision to open a special examination venue in Liuyue City for Qin Hao was far-sighted.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Tang Chuyi let out a cold snort, his expression turning quite sour.
As Qin Hao walked down, Yun Qingyue immediately approached and said with a smile, “Brother Hao, you’re truly amazing.”
Qin Hao replied gently, “Qingyue, as long as you work hard in your cultivation, you can achieve it too.”
“Okay,” Yun Qingyue nodded.
Then, glancing at Ye Wushuang, who was standing in line not far away, she said coldly, “This Ye Wushuang probably won’t even pass the first round.”
“Him?” Qin Hao scoffed, “Even if he does pass the first round, it will be with all his might, which is nothing to be proud of.”
“Exactly,” Yun Qingyue added, “Compared to Brother Hao, he’s like a firefly trying to compete with the bright moon.”
The examination continued.
Shi Yan from Shanyin City and Yue Tianzong from Yuechi City both hit nine rings, earning them the rating of genius and passing the first round of the test.
However, because Qin Hao had hit twelve rings and been rated as a peerless prodigy, it was hard to feel any surprise or interest towards these geniuses anymore.
“Wang Xueqi!”
With a shout, Wang Xueqi took a deep breath and stepped forward.
“Don’t worry, you can do it,” Ye Wushuang said with a smile.
“Okay,” Wang Xueqi replied.
She walked step by step to the strength-testing drum, took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and then slapped the drum with her palm.
*Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud…*
Nine rings echoed.
At this moment, Wang Xueqi let out a sigh of relief.
But just at this moment,
*Thud…*
The tenth ring sounded again.
Ten rings!
Even Wang Xueqi was stunned for a moment.
Ten rings?
How could that be?
The disciple in charge of recording the results exclaimed in surprise, “Wang Xueqi, ten rings, rated as a peerless prodigy.”
At this moment, many eyes were drawn to her.
After Qin Hao, there was another genius who had exceeded nine rings.
From the Wang family of the City Lord’s residence!
At this moment, Murong Ying chuckled and said, “I didn’t expect that Liuyue City truly harbors hidden dragons and crouching tigers.”
Wang Hongsheng, the head of the Wang family, was also extremely excited.
Ten rings!
His daughter had actually hit ten rings.
Although she couldn’t compare with Qin Hao, who possessed bloodline power, his daughter did not have such an advantage.
Moreover, ten rings and twelve rings were only two rings apart!
Not a big difference!
Not a problem.
Wang Hongsheng laughed heartily and declared, “My daughter is also a peerless prodigy. Today, my Wang family will host a grand banquet and welcome everyone to visit us!”
“Anyone who visits my Wang family will be gifted a Qi-Refining Pill!”
Upon hearing this, everyone could sense the subtle rivalry between the Wang family and the Qin family…
