Talent Determines Fate!

Throughout his trip to Haotian City to recruit disciples, Chu Xinghe had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the three thousand prodigies.

Given the current state of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, everyone who appears in Haotian City has been carefully selected countless times. Do you know how difficult it is to pick out a weakling from among these people?

Moreover, a situation similar to that of the Muyue Kingdom could easily occur...

You thought you'd picked a noob, but it turns out you're a genius with a knife who'll stab you without warning. What are you going to do about it?

So let's leave the selection of geniuses to Ma Liang. Anyway, no matter how we choose, these guys are all geniuses among geniuses!

As for the remaining seven thousand... Chu Xinghe absolutely will not entrust this to anyone else! All the Body Cultivation have chosen Chu Xinghe to show that he wants to do it personally!

At first, Chu Xinghe's idea was simple: with so many Body Cultivation coming, he could just pick seven thousand of them, take them back, and slaughter them all.

But Chu Xinghe quickly realized something was wrong!

If someone else chooses randomly, the results could be all sorts of monsters and demons.

But if I just randomly pick, who knows what kind of trash I'll end up with!

So Chu Xinghe spent the whole night reading through all sorts of ancient books.

Ancient books don't lie; Chu Xinghe found the concept of the Spiritless Physique in these ancient texts.

So Chu Xinghe waved his hand and said, "This one will be made according to the standards of the Spiritless Physique. The closer it is to this standard, the more it meets our requirements."

Body Cultivation... why would we need Spirit Power? Spirit Power would only hinder our speed of Body Cultivation.

Since we're talking about Body Cultivation, let's see this path through to the end!

And most importantly, not only can the Spiritless Physique not use Spiritless Physique Spirit Power, it can also devour all the resources used for Body Tempering. With seven thousand Spiritless Physique, wouldn't they take off on the spot?

With Chu Xinghe's announcement... everyone was completely baffled by Chu Xinghe's standards for recruiting disciples!

No way... is this really Chu Xinghe?

Isn't Spiritless Physique" just another way of saying "useless"?

So, this time, the Vast Heaven Holy Land is recruiting Body Cultivation who are as useless as possible? Isn't that a bit too outrageous?

Soon, the recruitment examination for disciples of the Body Cultivation Sect began.

Chu Xinghe personally supervised the entire assessment process, and the assessment method was very simple and brutal.

Pillars of Spirit Power were erected in the training ground in the center of Haotian City. All the disciples who came to participate in this Body Cultivation assessment took turns touching the pillars of Spirit Power.

The Spirit Power pillar will immediately detect the Spirit Power talent of the person who touches it!

This testing method is generally the most basic method used by the Vast Heaven Holy Land in the first round of assessments of its disciples.

However, the requirements for this assessment are somewhat different...

In the past, examinees could roughly judge their Spirit Power talent by touching the Spirit Power pillar and observing the light emitted from it.

Gold is the most beautiful, followed by silver, while white light is relatively weak.

But today... with the start of the test at the Haotian City Martial Arts Arena, things have become somewhat chaotic!

Chu Xinghe watched as an examinee walked nervously to the Spirit Power pillar. When the examinee placed his hands on the Spirit Power pillar, the Spirit Power immediately emitted a dazzling golden light!

Seeing the dazzling gold, a gasp of surprise erupted from those around them. After all, gold represents exceptional Spirit Power talent, and with such a dazzling gold, this young man definitely deserved the title of genius.

But just as everyone was marveling at the dazzling gold, Chu Xinghe spoke up, "Too good a talent... Eliminated!"

The genius then left the stage looking completely bewildered...

"Why is it gold again? Eliminated!"

"Still gold! Eliminate it, eliminate it!"

"To all those examinees with golden Spirit Power talents, I advise you not to harbor any illusions. If you have good aptitude, you must accept the reality of your talent. The Vast Heaven Holy Land's examination is extremely strict, and it will absolutely not allow any slip-throughs! So, you'd better take care of yourselves!"

Chu Xinghe stood in front of the Spirit Power pillar, slamming his fist on the table and angrily pointing at the numerous golden-talented individuals who were trying to take advantage of the situation!

"You examinee, have you no shame? With your talent, you think you can enter my Vast Heaven Holy Land? That's wishful thinking! Leave immediately!"

"The assessment of our Vast Heaven Holy Land emphasizes fairness, impartiality, and transparency! We will never allow any talented individual to slip through the cracks and gain entry into our Vast Heaven Holy Land!"

"And I advise those who come to me, Chu Xinghe, to use connections and backdoors to get in to think twice. I don't even want to talk to you anymore. Look at the people you've sent, each one with extraordinary talent! Even if you pull strings and use backdoors, there's absolutely no way you'll get into my Vast Heaven Holy Land!"

"What the hell? You're telling me you can work harder in the future? Young man! Do you even know what it means for talent to determine destiny? With your talent, tell me how you're going to work hard to catch up with those who have less talent?"

That day, the first round of assessments ended, and all the gold-talented individuals were persuaded to withdraw by Chu Xinghe!

Countless people who came to Haotian City to see Chu Xinghe of the Vast Heaven Holy Land recruit disciples were moved to tears!

Look at those little guys with golden talents... Chu Xinghe gave them all a thorough dressing-down!

This is somewhat contrary to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches...

This scene left Zheng Yu completely dumbfounded...

Senior Brother Xinghe, look at what you're saying! Is that something a human could say?

How did you manage to make all the geniuses lose their confidence in just one day?

Look at the scene... those little ones who found out they have golden talent are all crying their eyes out, so cute...

Those who didn't test out their golden talent were screaming with excitement!

You've heard of someone being happy because of their talent, but have you ever heard of someone being agitated because they lack talent?

In another test, you were called a failure because you lacked talent... and left in tears...

In Haotian City, you were called a waste because of your exceptional talent... and left in tears...

This wave of reverse recruitment of disciples has completely baffled everyone involved...

Soon after the first round of assessments ended, the tense and exciting second round began... In this round, Chu Xinghe once again put forward the concept that talent determines destiny.

The more talented you are, the faster you get eliminated!

After all the gold-talented individuals were eliminated, it was the turn of the silver-talented examinees... One by one, geniuses were advised to withdraw on the spot because their talents were too outstanding...

And these past two days, if you're ever in Haotian City, you might even start to wonder if you've traveled through time...

Just look at the topics the examinees in Haotian City are discussing in private.

In the past... whether it was the Vast Heaven Holy Land or other sects, when assessing disciples, most of the time it was groups of three or five talented people who would gather together to laugh at someone for having such poor talent... and they would even verbally attack those disciples with poor talent if they disagreed!

But these past two days, the topics of discussion in Haotian City have been somewhat inhuman!

"Brother... how did you do on your assessment?"

"Sigh... I'm sorry to make you laugh... I actually have a gold talent... and I was eliminated in the first round... Waaah... What about you, brother...?"

"I'm a bit better off than you; I have silver talent... I passed the first round, but I'm afraid I won't make it to the second..."

"Brother, your talent is actually white? What a twist of fate! I never imagined you had such a clumsy talent... It truly puts us to shame!"

"What? This brother actually has Spiritless Physique? He didn't even emit a white light when he touched the Spirit Power pillar... Congratulations, brother... You're definitely going to be a disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land this time!"

"So be it... We people with gold and silver talents... we're destined not to enter the Vast Heaven Holy Land... we can only join the number one sect in the world, Martial Emperor City..."

Countless people with golden, silver, and even white Spirit Power talents were discouraged... and with each round of Spirit Power tests, the number of test takers in Haotian City is decreasing.

The eliminated geniuses from all sides lamented... "Talent determines destiny... I only regret that my talent is too great, and I'm not qualified to join the Vast Heaven Holy Land!"

With the conclusion of the three rounds of Spirit Power talent tests, the remaining examinees now stand out in one area: their Spirit Power talent is extremely poor.

According to Chu Xinghe's requirements, anyone who touches a Spirit Power pillar and causes it to react will be eliminated!

During this time, Chu Xinghe also caught several people cheating on the test pillars.

These guys actually secretly carried a magical artifact that could conceal their own Spirit Power... Enraged, Chu Xinghe immediately announced that they would be permanently disqualified from entering Haotian City!

Chu Xinghe said, "People have to accept their fate! If you're talented, you have to accept the reality of being talented. It's one thing to be talented, but to try to take such crooked paths? You might fool others, but can you fool your own conscience?"

You can hide your talent today... but what about later? One day, the fact that you're talented will be revealed. How will you hide it then?

As round after round of assessments concluded, a bewildered Ma Liang presented the list of assessed disciples to Senior Brother Xinghe.

To be honest... even Ma Liang couldn't figure out what Senior Brother Xinghe was up to this time...

Look at this roster of those who passed the assessment...

Their so-called talent... what the hell is talent? It's like God was drunk when creating humans and forgot to give them the process of innate talent!

However, since Senior Brother Xinghe Body Cultivation, he must have his own ideas...

Ma Liang delivered the remaining list of examinees from the previous rounds of assessments to Senior Brother Xinghe, who then began to look through the list and speak.

"Among these disciples, are many of them following the path of Body Cultivation? In the past, did they use some Body Tempering techniques to make their physiques extraordinary?"

Upon hearing Senior Brother Xinghe speak, Ma Liang's eyes lit up!

I see!

So this was Senior Brother Xinghe's real purpose! Since Senior Brother Xinghe was going to choose Body Cultivation, then he was definitely going to be a pure Body Cultivation, and he would never accept those fake Body Cultivation with extraordinary talent... Senior Brother Xinghe's real purpose was to find those who had extremely poor Spirit Power talent, but who made themselves extraordinary through Body Arts. This was Senior Brother Xinghe's ultimate goal!

So Ma Liang quickly nodded. "Senior Brother Xinghe is right, there are indeed quite a few like that! So Senior Brother Xinghe means to select them all?"

"Yes! Pick them all out, and eliminate them in the next batch!"

Ma Liang: "???????"
