This question voiced what everyone was curious about!
If nine beats signify a genius level, then what about twelve beats?
At this moment, Baiyi smiled gently, and his voice echoed throughout the venue as he said, “According to the regulations of the Qingyun Academy, surpassing nine beats indicates the caliber of a peerless talent. This applies to ten, eleven, and twelve beats alike.”
Peerless talent!
Many people were utterly astonished.
The Qin family had truly produced a peerless talent this time.
With this development, Liuyue City was likely to experience a significant shift in power dynamics.
Given that the Qin family had given rise to Qin Hao, how could the Wang, Wei, and Yun families still consider themselves on equal footing with the Qin family?
Upon hearing this, Qin Yongda burst into laughter and announced, “Today, my Qin family will hold a grand feast. Anyone in Liuyue City who wishes to attend will be warmly welcomed by us.”
Upon hearing this, many people congratulated him with clasped hands.
However, Qin Yansong, who had come from the Qin clan, snorted coldly and said, “This is just the first round. What’s there to be so complacent 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…”
But inwardly, he didn’t take it to heart.
Once his son Qin Hao became a Yuanfu Realm warrior within the Qin clan, or even a Tiangang Realm warrior, 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 has far-reaching implications.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Tang Chuyi coldly snorted, his expression turning quite unpleasant.
As Qin Hao stepped down, Yun Qingyue immediately approached him 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 the same.”
“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 said with disdain, “Even if he does pass the first round, it would be with all his might, which doesn’t count for much.”
“Of course not. Compared to Brother Hao, he’s like a firefly trying to compete with the bright moon,” Yun Qingyue added.
The assessment continued.
Shi Yan from Shanyin City and Yue Tianzong from Yuechi City both struck nine beats, earning a genius rating and passing the first round of testing.
However, because Qin Hao had struck twelve beats and been rated as a peerless talent, it was hard to feel much surprise or interest in these other geniuses.
“Wang Xueqi!”
As a voice called out, 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 nodded.
She walked step by step to the strength-measuring drum, took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and then struck out with a palm.
Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud…
Nine beats resounded.
At this moment, Wang Xueqi let out a sigh of relief.
But just then…
Thud…
The tenth beat sounded again.
Ten beats!
Even Wang Xueqi was stunned for a moment.
Ten beats?
How could this be?
The disciple recording the results looked surprised and announced, “Wang Xueqi, ten beats, rated as a peerless talent.”
At this moment, many eyes turned towards her.
After Qin Hao, another genius had surpassed nine beats.
And she was from the city lord’s Wang family!
At this moment, Murong Ying chuckled and said, “I didn’t expect that Liuyue City truly has some hidden dragons and crouching tigers.”
Wang Hongsheng, the head of the Wang family, was also extremely excited.
Ten beats!
His daughter had struck ten beats.
Although she couldn’t compare with Qin Hao, who had the power of his bloodline, she had achieved this without any such advantage.
Moreover, the difference between ten and twelve beats wasn’t that significant!
Not a problem.
Wang Hongsheng laughed heartily and announced, “My daughter is also a peerless talent. Today, my Wang family will hold a grand feast, and we welcome everyone to visit us!”
“Anyone who visits my Wang family will be gifted a Qi-Refining Pill by us!”
With these words, everyone could sense an undercurrent of competition between the Wang and Qin families…
