Top Factions' Prodigies Take the Field

Finally.

As time went by, powerful successors entered the fray.

"Wu Qun, there should be hope that he can display the golden color."

Seeing someone step onto the stage, he spoke to the person beside him.

Who is that?

Another person looked on curiously.

"A very strong prodigy, said to be comparable to the prodigies of those top-tier powers," the Human Dao.

"That's certainly worth watching." The person who asked the question nodded, then immediately turned their attention back to the arena.

Bang!

The familiar process has begun, and the smoke has cleared.

The next moment.

Golden light emerged from the Desolate Ancient Emperor Stele, enveloping the young man named Wu Qun.

"Hiss, the golden light has appeared again!"

Exclamations of surprise immediately arose from the crowd.

Not far from the stone tablet, Luo Zhen looked at Wu Qun's figure in the golden light, his brows furrowing slightly.

"This golden light, is it really that easy?"

The prodigies of the four major powers haven't even finished their matches yet, and someone just like me, who deserves the same evaluation as Jin Guang, has already appeared?

Is my talent really that low?

At this moment, everyone's attention began to focus on the four major forces.

"Although Wu Qun can be considered a prodigy, the overall strength and level of the Wu Clan still cannot compare with these top forces."

"If these top talents from these elite forces meet their end, wouldn't we then know what kind of evaluation they will receive above the golden light?"

"These powerful forces have enough resources to nurture people; even someone completely useless could probably earn a respectable reputation!"

Everyone had their own opinions, but they were all quite united in their curiosity.

"Go."

At the forefront, the Emperor of the Great Qian Kingdom turned to look at a young man not far away and said:

"Now, all the world's geniuses have gathered here, making it quite a lively occasion. Jiu'er, go and see what makes this Desolate Ancient Emperor Stele so unique."

"Yes, Father."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man whom the Great Qian Emperor called Jiu'er turned around, stepped on his sword, and arrived at the Desolate Ancient Emperor Stele.

"It still has to be the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom."

Someone sighed:

"Now we really don't have to keep everyone in suspense."

"The Ninth Prince, hailed as the most talented among all the princes of the Great Qian Dynasty, and the one on whom the Great Qian Emperor places the greatest hopes, is far superior to Wu Qun in every aspect. Therefore, he certainly couldn't possibly be a gold-level prince."

"If the Ninth Prince's stone tablet is also gold, then it can only mean that the highest level of this Desolate Ancient Emperor Stele is gold."

"We still have some time, fellow Daoists. Would you like to join me for a game and bet on what color the Ninth Prince is?"

Everyone had their own things to say, but they were all very focused, paying close attention to the Ninth Prince and the Desolate Ancient Emperor Stele.

Bang!

As the smoke cleared, light appeared almost instantly.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, a golden light first appeared, then it took on a purple hue, presenting a unique purple-gold color that, at first glance, seemed to possess an even greater sense of nobility than pure gold.

"As expected, it couldn't just be gold."

Someone immediately spoke up:

"Purple gold, it seems to be another level above gold."

"They really are top-tier forces; they made the Desolate Ancient Emperor Stele change color right from the start," someone remarked, shaking their head.

Some people turned their gaze to the Emperor of the Great Qian Kingdom, and then their faces showed a puzzled expression:

"Judging from this, the Emperor of the Great Qian Kingdom doesn't seem very satisfied."

Upon hearing this, someone nearby laughed:

"Since the Great Qian Emperor is willing to let the Ninth Prince go up, he must be confident. Although this purple-gold light is unique, it still feels a bit lacking."

"Too,"

Someone nearby nodded and said:

"It is indeed better than gold, but compared to the four characters on this Desolate Ancient Emperor Stele, it's hard to say that this purple-gold light is a very high evaluation."

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the front of the crowd:

"I have long heard of the extraordinary talent of the Ninth Prince of the Great Qian Imperial Kingdom."

"Now that it shines with a purple-gold radiance, it truly lives up to its name."

Following the sound, everyone looked and saw a figure walking out from the direction of the Northern Nether Pavilion.

Judging from his age, he was about the same age as the Ninth Prince, and quite handsome. However, he seemed to be forcing a smile, which made his words sound mocking and sarcastic.

The Ninth Prince glanced at the other party and said calmly:

"I've long heard of the future young master of the Northern Nether Pavilion. Now that I've met you, I imagine the Desolate Ancient Emperor Stele will give you a higher evaluation than I would have."

After speaking, the Ninth Prince stepped aside, gesturing for the other party to come forward.

The young man from the Northern Nether Pavilion gave the Ninth Prince a deep look:

"As expected of royalty, they're quite adept at using flattery to their advantage."

After saying that, he arrived in front of the Desolate Ancient Emperor Stele.

All eyes turned to that direction.

The familiar process began again.

When the fog dissipated, everyone saw the familiar light again.

It was none other than the purple-gold light that was identical to that of the Ninth Prince.

Many eyes turned to the Ninth Prince.

His expression remained as calm as ever, as if he had expected this outcome long ago.

Everyone understood.

Clearly, the Ninth Prince had the upper hand in this contest.

"It seems that the evaluation given by this so-called Desolate Ancient Emperor Stele is nothing more than a generalization."

Upon hearing these remarks, many people immediately looked toward the source of the sound.

When they saw that it was the Pavilion Master of the Northern Nether Pavilion who said these words, they were no longer surprised.

After all, whoever's child it is, they'll protect them.

"But is this purple-gold light the limit?"

All eyes turned back to the four major powers.

Whether it's the Ninth Prince or the Young Master, they can both be considered the best of their generation.

Even so, it was merely a purple-gold radiance.

The purple-gold light, after a while, did indeed lack some of its awe-inspiring quality.

"The Sword Hall is not lacking in talented young people. Why not come down and join in the fun while it's lively?"

The young master of the Northern Nether Pavilion spoke up.

"Both of you are rated Purple Gold. I imagine that if it were us juniors from my Sword Hall, we'd be about the same."

The Sword Hall smiled and shook his head, then turned his gaze to the Li Clan.

"On the contrary, the Li Clan has been developing well in recent years, so the evaluation of this Desolate Ancient Emperor Stele cannot be limited to just Purple Gold."

Li Baimei smiled and said:

"You've learned this art of flattery to kill very quickly."

How could that be?

The Sword Hall shook his head:

"Our Sword Hall doesn't play those games."

"Your Li Clan, stop hiding your true colors."

Having said all that, Li Baimei didn't say anything more.

He turned to look at a young junior not far away:

"Since the Sword Hall is so insistent, why don't you go and take a look? I'm curious too."

"Yes."

The boy nodded, then leaped to the front of the Desolate Ancient Emperor Stele.
