During the first and second stages of the assessment, Ye Wushuang had been closely observing Xiao Yuan. Although he had not been at the Ye Mansion for the past month, Ye Wushuang was well aware of Xiao Yuan’s true capabilities. Given Xiao Yuan’s talent, he should have easily achieved a “world-shaking genius” rating in both the first and second stages. However, Xiao Yuan only received a “genius” rating in the first stage and a “world-shaking genius” rating in the second. This was far from what Ye Wushuang expected, considering Xiao Yuan’s awakened potential as a descendant of the Xiao Clan’s Heaven-Shaking Magic Ape bloodline. Even if he was not quite on par with Qin Hao, the difference should have been minimal.
Ye Wushuang understood that Xiao Yuan was being cautious. If Xiao Yuan revealed his full potential, the Xiao Clan might discover he was still alive, which could bring trouble. However, as Ye Wushuang had said, he was not afraid of trouble. In fact, he had played a clever trick this time.
After performing the Kai Shan Palm technique, a flash of light appeared before the Jiu Tian Yuan Yang Mirror.
“Unparalleled genius.”
At this moment, Bai Yi’s voice rang out, tinged with astonishment. The onlookers were also stunned, and exclamations of shock filled the air. Xiao Yuan stood in front of the mirror, dazed and bewildered.
Seeing Xiao Yuan’s stunned expression, Bai Yi chuckled and said, “What? Are you so pleased with your performance that you don’t want to leave?”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan quickly bowed and walked over to Ye Wushuang. “You tricked me!” he said with a hint of reproach. Ye Wushuang had clearly told him that following his instructions would likely earn him a “genius” rating and pass the third stage. That was why Xiao Yuan had exerted himself fully. But the result was far beyond his expectations—an “unparalleled genius” rating. This was too high!
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “With me, you have nothing to fear. You are under my protection. If anyone dares to harm you, I will eliminate them. Sometimes you need to be low-key, but when the time comes to be high-profile, you must seize the moment.”
Xiao Yuan looked at Ye Wushuang helplessly. He was such a schemer.
At this moment, Wei Zixuan stood not far from the two, his face flushed with embarrassment, unable to utter a word. Xiao Yuan, an “unparalleled genius”? How could that be possible? So far, only Qing Chentian and Shi Yan had passed the third stage, and they had only achieved “genius” ratings, not even reaching “world-shaking genius.” Yet Xiao Yuan had directly received an “unparalleled genius” rating.
On the main platform, Murong Ying chuckled and said, “This young man was quite good in the first two stages, but his performance in the third stage is… truly terrifying.”
Elder Tang Chuyi also nodded and said, “He is a promising talent. We should keep an eye on him.”
Now, only four people remained: Wang Xueqi, Yun Qingyue, Qin Hao, and Ye Wushuang. Out of the more than twelve hundred participants, only three had passed so far. But these last four were undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
“Next, Wang Xueqi,” Bai Yi’s voice rang out again.
Wang Xueqi stepped forward. “I choose the Mingyuan Fist,” she announced. She then approached the Jiu Tian Yuan Yang Mirror and began her performance.
As Wang Xueqi executed the Mingyuan Fist, the onlookers were once again captivated. Her performance was as impressive as Xiao Yuan’s Kai Shan Palm, with each punch accompanied by a howling wind and a formidable presence.
After completing the entire set of boxing techniques, Wang Xueqi stood still with her fists clenched.
“Unparalleled genius,” the mirror declared.
At this moment, even Bai Yi, the mentor, was taken aback by the four characters displayed on the Jiu Tian Yuan Yang Mirror. Another “unparalleled genius.” This time, the assessment in Liuyue City was truly full of surprises.
“Congratulations, Wang Xueqi, you have passed the Qingyun Academy assessment,” Bai Yi said with a smile.
“Thank you, mentor,” Wang Xueqi replied before turning and leaving.
At that moment, in the pavilion on the Wang family’s main platform, Wang Hongsheng laughed heartily, “My daughter is truly a heavenly talent, hahaha…”
A “world-shaking genius” in the first stage, and the same in the second stage, followed by an “unparalleled genius” in the third. With such results, Wang Xueqi would undoubtedly excel once she entered Qingyun Academy.
However, Wang Xueqi’s beautiful eyes glanced at Ye Wushuang with a hint of gratitude. She knew that without Ye Wushuang’s guidance, she might have only achieved a “genius” rating in this stage. Ye Wushuang’s profound understanding of the Mingyuan Fist had been of immense help to her.
“Next, Yun Qingyue,” the voice rang out again, and the crowd was immediately captivated by the graceful figure that stepped forward.
