Murong Ying paused for a moment, then smiled and said, “That would be considered the level of a **natural sage**. To watch just three times and perform all the moves with perfect proficiency, calling someone a natural sage is not an exaggeration.”
Bai Yi, hearing this, curiously asked, “Elder Murong, what about the so-called **Son of Destiny** rating?”
Murong Ying’s face was beaming with a smile as he replied, “The tenfold proficiency I mentioned earlier refers to the **mastery of the moves**. However, the **Son of Destiny** rating is something else entirely. It means that after watching someone else perform the technique three times, one not only memorizes the moves but also unleashes the technique’s **perfect power** without any incantations or mental methods. In other words, after watching three times, one completely **masters** the technique.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi let out a trembling smile. “Such a person… probably doesn’t exist, right?”
To watch someone else perform three times and then **master** the technique without any mental methods or incantations—this was the ability to see a glimpse and understand the whole! But did such a person truly exist? Perhaps only in legends!
Murong Ying smiled faintly and said, “As far as I know, there really hasn’t been one…”
“But I remember, a couple of years ago, during the academy’s recruitment assessment in the capital, Qin Wuxin of the Qin family, Chu Qingcheng of the Chu clan, Xiao Jiutian of the Xiao clan, and that Lady Qing Shihua, as well as Zhou Xuan, the son of our Qingyun Academy’s Dean Zhou, all achieved the **natural sage** rating in the three stages of the assessment!”
Natural sage?
That meant they had learned the moves and achieved **perfect proficiency** after watching just three times in the third stage. Even now, those individuals were still unmatched geniuses within Qingyun Academy.
Bai Yi let out a bitter smile. He, a young outer-court instructor, probably didn’t have the strength of those geniuses. They were all cultivated with all the resources of their respective families and had terrifying natural talents.
Tang Chuyi, who had been squinting his eyes, spoke up at this moment: “As far as I know, there really was someone who achieved the **Son of Destiny** rating.”
There was?
Who?
Both Murong Ying and Bai Yi looked at Tang Chuyi in astonishment. Could there really be such a person who only existed in legends?
“The former head of the Ye clan, Ye Wentian,” Tang Chuyi said, his gaze falling on Ye Wushuang in the crowd. “In his youth, Ye Wentian joined Qingyun Academy.”
“In the three stages of the assessment, he achieved the **natural sage** rating in the first stage by hitting the limit of eighteen rings. In the second stage, he sat still for five hours in the Four Spirits’ Heart-Asking Formation, astonishing dozens of elders in the academy and earning the **natural sage** rating again!”
“And in the third stage, he achieved the **Son of Destiny** rating, perfectly performing the spiritual technique he had only watched three times. He was truly… a **Son of Destiny**.”
Tang Chuyi sighed, “At that time, Ye Wentian in Qingyun Academy almost single-handedly overshadowed all the geniuses.”
“After leaving the academy, Ye Wentian established the Ye clan within the Qingyun Empire. In less than fifty years, he propelled the Ye clan into the ranks of the top families in the empire.”
“It has been five hundred years now, and neither our Qingyun Academy nor the Qingyun Empire has seen another figure who could shine as brightly as he did in his era!”
“Unfortunately, the Ye clan has now vanished without a trace…”
Hearing this, both Murong Ying and Bai Yi looked wistful. Such legendary figures were only heard of in stories. How thrilling it would be to witness such a person in person!
Tang Chuyi then smiled and said, “However, today, this Ye Wushuang… might just have the potential to match that Ye Wentian of the past.”
Tang Chuyi’s gaze lingered on Ye Wushuang in the crowd. In the first stage, Ye Wushuang achieved eighteen rings, just like Ye Wentian in the past. In the second stage, he sat still for two hours and fifteen minutes, but the assessment was terminated when they removed the spiritual formation.
If Ye Wushuang could achieve the **Son of Destiny** rating in this third stage, he would truly be as remarkable as Ye Wentian of old. Could he do it?
