Chapter 447
by fanqienovelChapter 447: Is there a possibility… that they are all trash?
Except for the two figures sitting at the center, resembling princesses.
At the very end.
There was a special chair that resembled a throne more than any other chair. A woman dressed in a blood-red gown wore a crown and held a royal scepter as she sat in the main seat. A glaring red line mark on her left cheek gave her an otherworldly appearance.
She was the head of the sacred department, Shui Suqing, and also the mother of Shui Qingya.
She conversed with a little girl.
It was Shui Wuge.
At just six years old, Shui Wuge had a rapid growth due to her lineage, but she still looked like a girl in her early teens. She wore a pure white long dress, and her shoulder-length black hair flowed freely without any constraints. With a gentle smile, she radiated an immense brightness.
Compared to her several older sisters, she was indeed very young, but her talent was extraordinary. No one could underestimate her, as she was recognized as someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the twins, destined to become a new generation legend in Dongwang City.
As Yun Ye stepped into the banquet hall,
Countless gazes gathered.
"Shui Changdong, is this the head of the family’s eldest son? Is he the one making such a big show for us to celebrate him?"
"Show some respect for the son of Wang Shi; this is the treatment of the upper class."
"I wonder what Shui Changdong’s abilities are like. Can he compare to the other candidates for head of the family?"
"This is irrelevant to us spiritual clans."
"How many years do you think it will take him to reach the level of Vice Captain?"
"At least three years; without a team for him to command, even the Four Departments would find it difficult."
Countless conversations flashed by.
Among those gazes was also Shui Wuge. Seeing Yun Ye’s pale face, she couldn’t help but sigh, "Brother is too strong-willed, even coming to the sacred department while injured… But at least the outcome is good."
She wasn’t the captain and didn’t know the details, thinking Yun Ye had been injured by her.
"Is he strong-willed? This is the right of the strong; your brother certainly has this qualification, but to compete with Qingya, it might be too late."
Shui Suqing stood up, and at Shui Wuge’s slightly surprised gaze, her voice echoed across the fiftieth floor. "Shui Changdong, the only member of the family to pass the Third trial in nearly a hundred years, has earned the privilege to become the captain of the sacred department. I have gathered you all here to facilitate the transfer of duties!"
Boom!
Those words felt explosive, directly causing the minds of all present Foreign Warriors to roar!
"Become the captain directly? Is that real?!"
"Are you sure this isn’t a joke?! This is the captain of the sacred department! An eight-year-old rookie, what right does he have to skyrocket!"
"The point is he passed the Third trial. If I remember correctly, the Third trial involves spiritual zombies close to the Vice Captain’s level. Does that mean he conquered a field usually requiring experience in hunting disaster beasts at just eight years old? Third-level Foreign Warrior?!"
"Magical, too magical!"
All non-captain level Foreign Warriors erupted in disbelief, struggling to accept the appearance of yet another prodigy, more astonishing than any before!
However, the minister clearly couldn’t be joking with them; they could only be shocked, with no one daring to openly question.
Beside Shui Suqing, Shui Wuge opened her mouth, utterly stunned by the situation.
Did my brother pass the Third trial?
It’s actually the Third trial?
In an instant, Shui Wuge’s little face flushed red, and she couldn’t help but turn her head away, unable to look at Yun Ye. She just wanted to find a corner to crouch down and draw circles.
*The clown is actually me.jpg*
Li Xiaoxian and You Guanglin, standing next to Yun Ye, were also taken aback by the situation. When they finally reacted, they suddenly realized that they had boarded a big ship!
The captain’s position was already the highest regular rank next to Wang Shi, the minister, and the vice minister. Even in the Holy Lineage, only a very few could hold this position; the spiritual clans were even rarer, so rare that it could be counted on one hand in the past two hundred years!
It could be said that their ultimate goal of following Yun Ye had already been achieved before it even began!
Is this the world of super geniuses?
"Introduce your brother, Wuge."
"Yes!"
Shui Wuge controlled herself and forcefully suppressed her unusual expression. She released a gentle light from her hands, dimming all the sunlight on the fiftieth floor.
Whoosh!
The entire banquet hall darkened, and beams of light fell, spotlighting specific individuals.
The most dazzling was Shui Qingya.
"Captain of Team One, Shui Qingya, and her teammates."
The girl in the blood-red dress glanced over, accompanied by fifteen teammates with fierce energies, causing Yun Ye to frown slightly.
The light soon dimmed again, shifting to another group.
This time, standing at the main position was a woman with long white hair, leaning against the floor-length window, with the fierce sun behind her, blending with the clear sky.
"Captain of Team Two, Shui Weibai, and her teammates."
Yun Ye knew this woman, Shui Weibai, the mother of Shui Riyue, who was said to possess a powerful innate spiritual body and could use the top-level Physical Law.
Her team also had fifteen members; this was the rule. Weaker opponents would be eliminated, and of course, here, teammates referred to elite members, excluding the Vice Captain and ordinary members.
"Captain of Team Three, Shui Riyue, and her teammates."
The girl captain appeared too dazzling, flawless from head to toe, her eyes seemingly crafted by the heavens.
Yun Ye stared for a long time.
Beyond her beauty, he was more focused on the rumors… It was said that Shui Riyue, at birth, had taken a part of her mother’s Yang spiritual body and combined it with her own Yin spiritual body, naturally gaining the Yin and Yang Spiritual Law.
This was something worth noting.
Even though the Yin and Yang Spiritual Law had been completed during the Tomorrow Nation era, no one had ever succeeded in forming a spiritual body, let alone inherited it.
If Shui Riyue truly possessed the Yin and Yang Spiritual Law, she would be considered a favored existence by the heavens.
"Captain of Team Four, Shui Zhenjing… Captain Zhenjing has other matters and cannot attend, but this does not affect the transfer of the captaincy."
The beams of light illuminated the remaining individuals.
They appeared at ease, lacking the overwhelming presence of the first three teams, showing a nonchalant attitude toward Yun Ye.
"Very well, that concludes the status of all four teams. Shui Changdong, choose the team you prefer."
Shui Suqing spoke.
Everyone in the hall focused their attention on Yun Ye, an indescribable pressure enveloping him and his three companions.
Li Jianbing and the others started to sweat profusely, struggling to bear the weight of this pressure.
They wanted to speak but hesitated.
After all, weren’t the captains present all super geniuses?
There were even super geniuses from the previous generation. What kind of talent would it take to bridge such a gap of years?
"Brother, Team Four is the weakest; choose Team Four so that you can fully become the captain!"
Shui Wuge also advised.
Although even the weakest Team Four captain would still be vastly different from the Vice Captain, it was ultimately a more rational choice, wasn’t it?
"Does the team’s ranking carry any special meaning? Is Team One the strongest?"
Yun Ye smiled, not responding to Shui Wuge but instead asking.
"It’s just corresponding to the four major external regions: East, South, West, and North."
"I see. It just feels a bit inaccurate. Minister, could you tell me which team is the strongest?"
"Are you sure? December will be the transfer battle for captains. Choosing the strongest team means you will have to compete for the captaincy against the strongest. Aren’t you afraid of failure?"
Shui Suqing said lightly.
"Minister, you might still be unaware of my character. I always act according to my abilities."
Yun Ye replied seriously, scanning everyone present with a smile. "I fear failure, which is why I won’t take risks. But among everyone here, I’m sorry, I mean is there a possibility…"
"That they are all trash?"
