Murong Ying paused for a moment and said with a smile, “That would be considered the level of a born sage. To watch just three times and perfectly replicate all the moves with one hundred percent proficiency, calling such a person a born sage is not an exaggeration.”
Baiyi, hearing this, asked curiously, “Senior Murong, what about the so-called Son of Destiny rating?”
Murong Ying’s face was filled with a warm smile as he replied, “The hundred percent I mentioned earlier refers to the proficiency of the moves. The so-called Son of Destiny rating, however, means that after watching someone else perform the technique just three times, one not only memorizes the moves but also unleashes the perfect power of the martial technique without any incantations or mental methods. In other words, after watching it being performed three times, one completely masters every aspect of the technique.”
Upon hearing this, Baiyi let out a trembling smile. “A person like that… probably doesn’t exist, right?”
To master a technique after watching it being performed just three times, without any mental methods or incantations—such an ability would be like seeing a glimpse and understanding the whole picture. But could such a person truly exist? They must only be found in legends!
Murong Ying gave a faint smile 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 from the Qin family, Chu Qingcheng from the Chu clan, Xiao Jiutian from the Xiao clan, and that Lady Qing Shihua, as well as Zhou Xuan, the son of Dean Zhou from our Qingyun Academy—those few individuals all achieved the born sage rating in all three stages of the assessment!”
Born sage? That means they learned the moves just by watching three times and achieved a hundred percent proficiency in the third stage. Even now, those few are still unmatched heavenly骄子 in Qingyun Academy.
Baiyi gave a bitter smile. As a young outer court mentor, he feared that he might not be as powerful as those few heavenly骄子. Those individuals were cultivated with all the resources of their respective families and possessed terrifyingly strong natural talents.
Tang Chuyi, who had been squinting his eyes, spoke up at this moment, “As far as I know, there really has been someone who achieved the Son of Destiny rating.”
There is?
Who is it?
Murong Ying and Baiyi both looked at Tang Chuyi with astonishment. Could there truly be such a legendary figure?
“Ye Wentian, the former head of the Ye clan,” 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 born sage rating in the first stage by hitting the limit of eighteen rings. In the second stage… he sat calmly in the Four Spirits Inquiry Array for five hours without moving, astonishing dozens of elders in the academy and achieving the born sage rating!”
“And in the third stage, he even achieved the Son of Destiny rating, perfectly interpreting the spiritual technique he had only watched three times. He was truly… a genuine Son of Destiny.”
Tang Chuyi sighed, “Back then, Ye Wentian in Qingyun Academy almost single-handedly overshadowed all the heavenly骄子, making it hard for them to catch their breath. Later, 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 an era!”
“Unfortunately, the Ye clan has now vanished without a trace…”
Hearing this, both Murong Ying and Baiyi looked wistful. Such legendary figures were only known to them through stories. How thrilling it would be to witness the风采 of such a person!
Speaking of this, Tang Chuyi smiled and said, “However, today, this Ye Wushuang… might actually have the potential to match that Ye Wentian!”
Tang Chuyi’s gaze lingered on Ye Wushuang in the crowd. In the first stage, eighteen rings, just like Ye Wentian of old. In the second stage, sitting still for two hours and a quarter, only to have the spiritual array removed and the assessment terminated by them.
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?
