181: Chapter 181 A Sixteen-Year-Old Top-Grade Appraiser! A Sensation Throughout!
"Steward Wang! Have I passed the assessment?"
It wasn't until Jiang Yun's calm voice rang out again.
That it acted like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.
Breaking the suffocating silence that had lasted for half a minute.
The voice wasn't loud.
Yet it was like a key.
Instantly unlocking everyone's throats and thoughts that had been frozen by shock!
Boom!!!
A massive sensation and unbelievable discussions.
Like a volcano that had been building up for a long time.
Exploded violently.
Instantly sweeping through the entire seventh floor!
"He... passed! He really did it!"
The young apprentice who had favored Jiang Yun before was flushed with excitement, waving his fists, his voice hoarse.
"How is this possible?! One hundred percent accuracy! Passing the High Grade assessment with a perfect score?! He's only sixteen years old!"
The sneer on that sharp-faced Appraiser's face had long since vanished, replaced by a ghost-like horror.
"A sixteen-year-old High-Grade Appraiser! My god! In the Starfall District... no! In the entire S Province, such a Prodigy has never appeared in history?! This is even more Heaven-Defying than the Qian Family's Young Miss!"
Someone cried out in shock.
Involuntarily casting their gaze toward Qian Rongrong inside the examination hall.
"With such a Prodigy-level talent for appraisal, passing the High Grade assessment is like child's play. Surely he won't... he won't really go and challenge that Legendary Grand Tutor Level, will he?!"
Once this thought arose.
It grew wildly in everyone's hearts like weeds.
Having witnessed Jiang Yun's successive Heaven-Defying breakthroughs as easily as eating or drinking, no one thought it was arrogance anymore. Instead, a more fanatical and excited expectation surged!
In the crowd.
The eldest young master of the Qian Family.
Qian Rongrong's brother, Qian Luoyun.
His gaze suddenly sharpened.
He took a deep breath.
And whispered to Elder Hai beside him:
"Elder Hai, send a message to my father and report the situation here in detail! Tell him he must closely monitor the movements of the Appraisers Guild! This boy... is definitely not an ordinary person. If we can befriend him before he completely takes flight, it will be of great significance to our Qian Family!"
He realized.
If this Dong Xuan could truly charge up to the Grand Tutor Level in one go.
The sensation it would cause would be far beyond imagination!
He had to monitor Dong Xuan's movements in advance for the Family.
Elder Hai nodded with a grave expression.
His figure quietly retreated as he quickly went to make arrangements.
On the other side.
The group of stewards from various floors who had previously been dismissive of Jiang Yun's behavior.
Were now collectively speechless.
The expressions on their faces were a sight to behold.
"He... he really succeeded?!"
One steward muttered to himself.
As if he were still in a dream.
"High-Grade Appraiser... sixteen years old... this..."
Another steward stood with his mouth agape.
Unable to say another word.
The resentment and doubt from just now.
Had all turned into endless shock and a hint of indescribable shame.
The object of their ridicule.
Was actually a peerless Genius enough to be recorded in the annals of the Appraisers Guild!
Steward Li, on the other hand, laughed loudly.
He slapped the shoulder of the colleague beside him hard.
His face was glowing with pride.
As if sharing in the glory.
"Hahaha! Did you see that? Old Zhang! I told you Mister Dong Xuan would achieve great things! When has my, Old Li's, judgment ever been wrong!"
His proud look.
Was as if the one who passed the assessment was his own son.
At the stairwell.
The group of candidates who had just rushed up from the first floor happened to witness the announcement of this final result and the scene of the entire venue boiling with excitement; they all stood there dazed, as if struck by lightning.
"The... High Grade assessment... he, he passed that too??!"
The old man who had passed his own assessment spoke with a dry voice, his face burning. The previous thought of competing with Jiang Yun now seemed incredibly laughable and insignificant.
And the young man who had repeatedly mocked Jiang Yun.
His face was as pale as paper.
His eyes were filled with fear and panic.
He didn't dare stay any longer. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to a small character like him, he fled like a stray dog, frantically pushing through the crowd and escaping in a pathetic state.
He was terrified that Jiang Yun would remember his face and settle scores with him later, not knowing that a person like him had never even entered Jiang Yun's eyes.
Inside the hall.
Elders Mo Yuan and Qing Xuan.
The astonishment on their faces slowly receded, replaced by immense gravity and uncontrollable excitement!
"He... he actually passed!"
Elder Mo Yuan took a deep breath.
A sharp light exploded in his eyes.
He still seemed somewhat unable to believe it.
"Good lad! A sixteen-year-old High-Grade Appraiser! Since our Starfall District branch was established, this is unheard of! No! To be precise, it's never happened in the history of the Human Federation's path of appraisal."
Elder Qing Xuan's hand stroking his beard trembled slightly.
His tone carried excitement.
"Not just the Starfall District! Looking at the entire S Province, you probably couldn't find a second person! And look at how easily and naturally he passed, as if this High Grade assessment was no different from the assessments downstairs to him! With this kind of talent... in time, the Grand Tutor Level will definitely not be difficult for him!"
The two looked at each other.
Both saw an unprecedented light in each other's eyes.
"Perhaps... in our lifetime, we really can witness the birth of an appraisal Grandmaster, or even a higher existence!"
"When that time comes, with him representing our S Province Appraisers Guild to compete in the Human Federation Appraisal Competition... our S Province Guild's fame throughout the Federation will be just around the corner!"
Thinking of that glorious future.
The two Elders, who were nearly a hundred years old.
Were actually so excited they could hardly contain themselves.
"No! Such an unpolished gem must be made known to the President and Vice President immediately!"
Elder Mo Yuan said decisively.
"That's right! You and I will personally take him there later! Our Appraisers Guild is about to produce a True Dragon!"
Elder Qing Xuan nodded repeatedly... inside the examination hall.
The other three candidates.
Including Qian Rongrong.
The expressions on their faces had completely frozen.
Qian Rongrong's beautiful eyes were wide with shock.
She stared in disbelief at the dazzling 100/100 on the light screen, then looked at the black-robed figure standing calmly in the center of the hall.
He... actually did it!
And in such a crushing manner!
She asked herself.
Even if she were given two days to fully prepare, it would be absolutely impossible to do it so smoothly, let alone with one hundred percent accuracy!
The gap here was no longer something that could be made up for with effort; it was a despairing chasm in terms of appraisal talent!
An unprecedented pressure.
Accompanied by an indescribable shock.
Surged into her heart.
But at the same time.
A curiosity and admiration for an absolute powerhouse also irrepressibly grew.
With such brilliant appraisal talent and being about the same age as me... under that mask.
What kind of confident and dazzling face would there be?
It must... be extremely handsome and extraordinary... a faint blush.
Quietly crept onto her fair cheeks. When her gaze fell on Jiang Yun, it softened unconsciously, carrying an inquisitiveness and a subtle fondness she hadn't fully realized herself.
Just as Qian Rongrong's thoughts were fluctuating.
Steward Wang finally came back to his senses from the extreme shock.
The shock on his face was quickly replaced by an extremely respectful expression, and he even unconsciously bowed his waist a bit lower.
The person before him.
Was a High-Grade Appraiser of the same rank as himself!
The key was.
The other party was only sixteen years old!
His future achievements were simply limitless!
How could he dare to be even slightly neglectful?
"Of course! Of course you passed!"
Steward Wang's voice carried a slight tremor after the excitement.
He replied with absolute certainty: "Great Master Dong Xuan, from this moment on, you are a bona fide High-Grade Appraiser! Congratulations!"
He hurriedly added: "Please wait a moment, I will go and get your High-Grade Appraiser credentials and the rewards for this assessment right away!"
Jiang Yun nodded slightly.
He wasn't surprised by this result.
However.
At that moment.
Elders Mo Yuan and Qing Xuan had already personally walked over quickly.
Elder Mo Yuan spoke directly.
His voice carried an unquestionable authority.
"Steward Wang, there's no need."
His gaze swept over Steward Wang and the surrounding staff, and he commanded: "Take your people immediately, along with the stewards of each floor, to disperse the onlookers. You must maintain the order and stability of the assessment building!"
Then.
He turned to Jiang Yun.
His face showed an unprecedented kind and serious expression, and his tone even became a bit polite.
"Little friend Dong Xuan, your identification credentials and assessment rewards will be personally handled by Elder Qing Xuan and me. Now, would you be willing to follow us to meet the President and Vice President?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
The staff members who hadn't completely dispersed and the few people who could hear this were shaken in their hearts once again!
The two Elders.
Were actually going to personally handle the procedures for him.
And directly take him to see the guild's top leaders?!
This treatment... was simply unprecedented!
