Facing the gazes of the crowd, Fang Linlin took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage.
With a death-defying attitude, she closed her eyes tightly, pressed her palms against the divine stone, and infused them with Spiritual Power.
Divine Mark appeared, reflecting Fang Linlin's nervous little face.
The elder casually raised his eyes and glanced at the scene. After witnessing Fang Zhenyu's terrifying talent, he became unusually excited, hoping that another similar prodigy would emerge.
However, upon seeing Fang Linlin's talent, his face remained indifferent.
" Pingze City, Fang Linlin, three demigod Divine Mark, qualified."
"Call!"
Fang Linlin let out a heavy sigh of relief, her face beaming with joy.
It's approved!
Although it was only a barely passing grade, it passed nonetheless.
This was already the best ending she could think of; it had three and a half paths to it!
"Very good!"
She clenched her fist, her face filled with ecstatic joy. She turned around abruptly and headed off the Fang Yu's side, she almost uncontrollably jumped up and pounced on him, cheering softly.
"I passed! I passed! Xiao Yu, Yun'er, I'm so happy!"
Fang Yu's expression softened, and he gently patted her head.
"Congratulations."
Fang Yun'er also broke into a bright smile and gestured with her hand.
'Congratulations.'
However, this joy seemed somewhat jarring to others.
Fang Zhenyu watched coldly, her disdain growing ever more pronounced.
She did not speak.
The group she led had already been eager to speak on her behalf.
"Three demigod Divine Mark are something to be happy about; he really is a piece of trash."
"If I only had this kind of talent, I'd probably find a place to kill myself right now, so as not to bury the resources my Lineage has invested in nurturing me for so many years."
"Some people actually have the nerve to be happy? Even our Zhenyu, with seven Divine Mark, wasn't that happy. They're truly unworthy of respect."
"As expected, you're from a small town... tsk tsk."
"..."
Each sound reached Fang Linlin's ears.
It also reached the ears of others.
However, the Fang Household's collateral descendants around them all remained calm, not finding anything wrong with what these people were saying.
That's just how it is.
They certainly have the right to say that.
After all, these people all belonged to Jinglan City and came out with Fang Zhenyu. The fact that Fang Zhenyu took notice of them and kept them by his side meant that their strength and talent were naturally not bad.
There are at least four Divine Mark.
Fang Linlin's three and a half rounds were indeed no match for them.
She knew this all too well, and being subjected to such sarcastic remarks made her grit her teeth in anger, yet she was helpless.
Only Fang Yu glanced at them coldly and gave a smirk.
"What a bunch of insects."
"You!"
The others were shocked that she would say such a thing, and they were furious and wide-eyed. They immediately tried to come forward, but before they could get there, Fang Yu had already stepped onto the stage.
The group of people watching gritted their teeth in fury.
"How dare you call us insects!"
"Damn it, she's just a piece of trash wearing a Black Robe Lane waist tag. I'd like to see how many Divine Mark she actually possesses."
Some maliciously speculated. "What if you end up with neither of the last two dishes!"
Fang Yu turned a deaf ear to all of this.
She casually raised her eyes and lightly placed her palm on the ground.
The next moment.
"...?!"
The elder stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and took a step forward in excitement.
Not only him, but almost the entire assessment site was completely silent.
A bright halo shone on everyone's face, reflecting their astonishment, confusion, surprise, and the joy in the eyes of many elders.
Only because of the Seven Paths.
Seven more Divine Mark!
At that moment, divine light soared into the sky!
Everyone was shocked once again, staring blankly at Fang Yu calmly turned around, feeling as if it were all too real.
In a short period of time, and after just one assessment, two prodigies have emerged from a collateral branch of the Fang Household!
This is absolutely stunning!
Is the Fang Household about to experience a surge in fortune...?
Many elders were overjoyed, chanting fervently.
"Such promising talents are rare; it would be remarkable if even one emerged from a normal family, but now two have appeared from a collateral branch!"
"Excellent, excellent, excellent! Absolutely wonderful!"
"I felt an instant connection with this little girl. If she were to join the main lineage, I would personally mentor her."
Fang Zhenyu stared wide-eyed, not even noticing that her fingernails were digging deeply into her palms.
Although she had expected it, when she saw that Fang Yu's talent was really the same as hers, she still felt a deep sense of injustice.
How unjust is the Heavenly Dao!
With her already, why add Fang Yu to compete for her glory?
hateful!
Just then, Fang Yu glanced coldly in Fang Zhenyu's direction and spoke casually.
"Seven Divine Mark, are they very powerful?"
"That's all there is to it."
"They're just easy to pick."
These few words made Fang Zhenyu's face turn even uglier.
What she treasured so dearly was merely "casually" given to others. How could someone as proud as her accept Fang Yu's dismissive attitude?
Fang Linlin jumped up with joy and kept making funny faces in that direction.
She hugged Fang Yun'er and said loudly, "Don't be afraid, Yun'er, we're not without people who can make decisions for us!"
"Snort!"
Fang Yu slightly raised her eyes, meeting Fang Yun'er's tearful expression. She felt a little uncomfortable, but still nodded.
I will stand behind you.
She and Fang Linlin could have avoided their conflict with Fang Zhenyu.
But for Fang Yun'er's sake, neither of them hesitated for a moment.
How could Fang Yun'er not be moved by such decisiveness?
Seeing the three of them acting like they were inseparable, Fang Zhenyu felt even more furious.
She spoke coldly, her face dark.
"Talent, that's really nothing... Fang Yu, I'll remember you. We'll settle this one day!"
As she spoke, her aura emanated outwards.
That overwhelming pressure caused many people to raise their eyebrows involuntarily.
Many members of the collateral branches were secretly astonished.
As expected of a prodigy with seven Divine Mark...
His skill level is indeed remarkable.
They couldn't see through her exact cultivation level!
Amidst the constant scrutiny of everyone around Fang Zhenyu and Fang Yu, Fang Yun'er finally heard her own name called.
She was a little nervous, she pinched the jade pendant belonging to the Sword Pavilion at her waist, took a deep breath, and stepped onto the stage.
" Yun'er! You can do it!! You can definitely do it!"
From below the stage, Fang Linlin jumped up and shouted.
Beside her, Fang Yu, though looking disgusted, still waved to Fang Yun'er.
Fang Yun'er's eyes welled up with tears, and she couldn't help but bite her lip. A surge of warmth welled up in her heart, and her gaze became even more resolute.
Dressed in pristine white, she stood on the arena, her beauty extraordinary, her delicate features pitiful, like a goddess descended to earth.
This face was seen by countless people, and even among the direct descendants in the stands, one man's breath hitched.
"She..."
"I want it!"
