Regardless of what talent the top performer in the Lineage assessment possesses, achieving such a ranking will undoubtedly make them a member of the main branch.
In other words, to rise to the top in one step.
The thought of this possibility made Fang Zhenyu and the others' expressions turn grim.
Once, because Fang Yun'er was from a collateral branch of the family, they could bully her without restraint.
But if she were to rise up and enter the main lineage, and if the other party harbored thoughts of revenge, then it is conceivable that none of those who had bullied her would escape.
Not only them, but Fang Hong in the stands was so shocked that he stood up immediately, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He originally thought that Fang Yun'er was just a pretty face who couldn't escape his control, but he never expected that she would have such formidable strength.
'This is troublesome...'
He wasn't afraid, but a hint of annoyance still flashed through his mind.
It was a kind of anger that one could only suppress, even if one coveted it.
Judging from the current situation, Fang Yun'er will most likely be the first in this Lineage assessment.
Once she becomes number one...
No.
It doesn't even have to be number one.
If she can make it into the top ten, she will be a sure-fire key talent for the Lineage's main branch.
Even if he were a direct descendant, he couldn't get close to such a member unless the other party was willing.
But Fang Yun'er's attitude was very clear: she was simply unwilling!
The thought that such a beauty was about to be out of his reach made Fang Hong's face turn extremely ugly and gloomy.
Tong Xin's expression was almost identical to his.
That is, his fiancée.
But in Tong Xin's eyes, there was also a hint of fear and panic.
Fang Yun'er...
'Are we really going to let her rise to the top?'
'Damn it! No way! I absolutely cannot allow this to happen!'
Tong Xin lowered her eyes, concealing the ruthlessness that flashed within them.
Their peers might have shown surprise or their expressions turned sour, but in the hearts of the higher-ups, only astonishment and...
A slight sense of regret.
They never imagined that Fang Yun'er would actually get to this point.
The information about Fang Yun'er had already been presented to them, filling them with an absurd sense of bewilderment.
"A girl born mute with impaired Divine Sense, yet she managed to defeat Fang Xing; that's truly remarkable."
"Such strength and Sword Intent... are truly impressive."
"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she's the top performer among the younger generation in our Fang Household's annual Lineage assessment."
A group of elders whispered among themselves, their words revealing their admiration for Fang Yun'er.
only...
"Three Divine Mark..."
Someone let out a soft sigh, causing many people to fall silent.
yes.
Three Divine Mark.
This is a hurdle they cannot ignore, and one that is difficult to overcome.
Such talent is truly terrible.
So badly, before Fang Yun'er defeated Fang Xing, there wasn't a single discussion between them about her, let alone any expectation of her.
Moreover, this is not the most important thing.
"If the information you provided is correct, before this girl came to participate in the main branch's assessment, she was only at the Venerable Realm in Jinglan City, and she had no understanding of Sword Intent whatsoever. In just a few months, how did she raise her Sword Intent to the third level and advance her strength to the Heavenly Venerable?"
A majestic voice rang out, and everyone immediately turned to look in the direction of the speaker, a hint of awe flashing in their eyes.
The speaker was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Fang Household.
He once thought Fang Xing.
In terms of bloodline, Fang Xing is his great-grandson.
Now, the Supreme Elder looked at Fang Yun'er's information in his hand with a calm expression, showing no disgust in his eyes, as if he were simply stating the facts in a low voice.
"Even the most outstanding geniuses I've ever seen in the Heaven-Gazing Domain haven't gone this far."
"Not to mention, she's just a being with three Divine Mark..."
Although he was the supreme elder of the Fang Household, he had mastered the art of preserving his youth, and his appearance was no different from that of a young man. However, the profound aura he exuded made it difficult for people to truly regard him as a member of the younger generation.
Those pale lips parted slightly, uttering a few words.
"This first-place ranking is well-deserved, but..."
He raised his eyes and looked at Fang Yun'er, who had already stepped down from the stage. He casually glanced at Fang Xing below and placed the Jade Slip containing the Divine Sense he had just read aside. It contained information about Fang Yun'er.
The Supreme Elder didn't say anything more, only pondered for a moment, and then fell silent.
But almost everyone else listened to what he said.
Complex thoughts surfaced in everyone's minds.
Fang Yun'er's demonstrated strength is indeed quite impressive.
But how did she become so strong?
Could a single, serendipitous encounter be enough to change her life in such a short time?
If that talent wasn't just inherited, but also something that caused her to mortgage her future, how could she have reached her current level with such mediocre talent to begin with?
If that's the case...
Everyone fell silent.
Beside him, the elder of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect seemed to have completely ignored the words of the Fang Household's Supreme Elder. He lowered his eyes and looked at the arena, his gaze seemingly drifting over Fang Yun'er, lost in thought.
The subsequent Lineage assessment seemed to confirm something.
In every performance that Fang Yun'er was scheduled to perform, there was absolutely no suspense.
She swept through the competition, with no rivals in sight.
certainly...
She could never truly become number one.
The Lineage assessment is based on a comprehensive evaluation of two tests.
Even though Fang Yun'er ultimately came in first place in the second round of assessments, her performance in the first round was simply too poor.
Ultimately, her ranking was set at tenth.
Tenth place may seem low, but it's actually quite good for her.
This was only because the elders of the Fang Household gave her a slight boost, considering how hard she worked in the second round; otherwise, she would have only made it into the top twenty.
Even though she was the strongest, the Lineage's assessment never solely considered who was the strongest.
After a brief rest, the arena suddenly disappeared, replaced by a divine platform. The two stood on the platform, looking down at all the Fang Household disciples around them.
When their gazes fell upon them, almost all the Fang Household members stiffened and immediately lowered their heads.
These two were none other than the head of the Fang Household family and Elder Gong of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect.
At the same time, a sense of anticipation arose in everyone's hearts.
This is the announcement of the final competition rewards!
and...
The presence of elders from the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect here means that one of them has been selected to join the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect.
I don't know who it is...
Fang Yun'er also held her breath slightly, her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at the head of the Fang Household.
She didn't look forward to going to the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect.
After all, everything she possessed was a gift from her master.
However, she was really looking forward to the final reward.
However, to those around her, her expectant look made it seem as if she was looking forward to going to the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect.
This is understandable.
Who wouldn't want to be a member of the Sword Sect?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two on the altar exchanged polite words before Elder Gong finally stepped forward and spoke slowly.
