Chapter 521 My Su family's golden son-in-law! Possesses the qualities of a Saint King!

At the moment the crimson light shot into the sky.

The crowd, who had just been immersed in the shocking news about Grand Tutor Dongxuan, was instantly yanked back to reality, only to plunge into an even deeper collective stupor!

Time in the entire square seemed to have been put on pause.

That pillar of light, scarlet as blood and blazing like molten lava, erupted from the core of the Testing Stone, tearing through the air with unstoppable force, piercing straight into the firmament.

The originally azure sky,

as if smeared by a giant brush,

was instantly stained with an intense and sacred crimson.

Thousands of pairs of eyes,

still carrying the lingering fervor from Grand Tutor Dongxuan, gazed up in bewilderment at this sudden red spectacle, their minds completely crashing.

What... is happening?

Why has the sky changed color!

Holy shit!

What the hell is that red light pillar?!

Everyone was dumbfounded!

As for the nearest testing teacher,

who had been thinking that once this youth from C City finished his test,

he would quickly record today's continuous stream of surprises.

However,

his thoughts were utterly drowned by the red light that erupted without warning.

The intense light was blinding.

He instinctively closed his eyes, then snapped them open again.

Wondering why a C or B-Rank talent was so dazzling?

He wanted to see what was going on!

However, once his vision was filled with red, he froze completely on the spot!

Not orange... not purple... not blue... it's... it's... "It's!!!! R... red!!!"

His throat seemed to be choked by an invisible hand.

Only able to emit a horrified, muffled gasp.

His fingers holding the Jade Slip suddenly went limp.

The precious recording Jade Slip clattered to the ground.

Rolled a few times.

He didn't even glance at it.

All his senses, all his thoughts, were occupied by that pure, violent, cognition-defying red at the center of his vision.

His mouth hung open unconsciously.

His eyes bulged slightly from extreme shock, staring fixedly at the light pillar as if to confirm this wasn't an illusion.

A full three breaths later.

His blocked vocal cords finally broke free from their restraints.

A distorted, hoarse, and cracked shout, like the wail of a wounded beast, exploded in the deathly silent square.

"Red!!! Red!!! Red!! Ah!!!"

"It's red!!! It's the red of an SSS-Rank!!!!"

This screech,

like a spark igniting a powder keg,

caused the frozen time to abruptly start flowing again!

The crowd with crashed minds immediately snapped out of it

One by one, their expressions turned to utter shock!!!

"Holy shit! Red?!!!! Damn it damn it!!! It's really fucking red!!!"

"SSS! The Legendary SSS! The legend from the textbooks has come to life!! I can't believe it!"

"Someone pinch me! Did the news about Grand Tutor Dongxuan give me a Heart Demon illusion?!"

"Son-in-Law Jiang Yun!!! His test actually erupted with red light!! The color of an SSS-Rank light!!!"

The Su Family disciples closest to the scene were the first to react.

The expressions on their faces changed from bewilderment to shock, then to extreme ecstasy.

As if flipping pages in a book.

Someone slapped themselves hard across the face.

After confirming it wasn't a dream,

They let out cheers so sharp they almost tore their vocal cords.

Within the Su Family formation.

Fox Immortal's perpetually ice-cold, indifferent face,

Now cracked with an expression of disbelief.

Her golden pupils abruptly contracted.

Reflecting the red light that connected heaven and earth.

"Red... the highest talent level defined by humans?"

A storm of shock surged within her heart.

All her previous doubts about Jiang Yun's Beast Taming Space and appraisal ability.

Now seemed to have found their most fundamental explanation.

"No wonder... this guy is shrouded in so much mystery... he actually carries such a terrifying level of talent..."

Seeing this dazzling red light pillar.

Fox Immortal's heart was already clear.

On the square.

Order had already collapsed into shared resonance.

Everyone began to exclaim and scream!

"Red light! It's a red light pillar! A sight you're lucky to see once in a lifetime!"

"Am I dreaming! Is this real or fake, damn it!"

"The testing teacher shouted SSS! How can that be fake?!"

"Too exaggerated! The entire sky has turned red!"

"A hundred years! No! Three hundred! No! This must be the first SSS-Rank since the founding of Sky Dome Academy! We are witnessing the birth of history with our own eyes!!!"

"Who is it? What kind of Prodigy is it?!!! To actually possess the Legendary SSS-Rank Talent!"

Everyone looked toward the youthful figure within the red light pillar.

But because the light was too dazzling.

They could only see a red silhouette.

Unable to make out the face clearly.

The scene was now also in complete chaos!

The entire square had exploded!

All Testing Channels instantly halted.

Whether it was students in the middle of testing or teachers responsible for recording, all turned their heads as if drawn by a magnet, staring fixedly at that red light pillar and the faint humanoid outline within it.

Exclamations, strange cries, and sharp intakes of breath converged into a chaotic wave of sound, growing louder and louder. The previous commotion caused by Grand Tutor Dongxuan paled in comparison, becoming a mere gentle breeze and drizzle.

On the High Platform.

Elder Mo Chen, as if a spring had been installed under his seat, shot to his feet. The table before him was knocked over with a crash, cups, documents, and papers scattering messily across the floor.

But how could he possibly care about that now?

He leaned forward.

His hands gripping the platform railing tightly.

His old eyes were wide open.

The depths of his pupils wildly trembling with that searing red.

This usually steady Reception Elder,

who had seen many Geniuses.

Even an S-Rank rarely made him lose composure!

But this was red light!

This is goddamn SSS-Rank!

His entire body was trembling now.

He stared fixedly at that red light pillar.

His eyes erupting with a terrifying, intense light.

His mouth slightly agape in shock.

For a moment, he actually didn't know what to say.

Only subconsciously uttering two words in his shock.

"Silence!!!"

However, this time.

His authority failed.

No one paid any heed to his command.

Everyone was immersed in extreme astonishment.

Elder Mo Chen took a deep breath.

Forcing down the storm of shock in his heart.

He turned his head to look at the red light pillar below.

At the youthful figure standing calmly beneath the light pillar.

His eyes filled with disbelief.

His heart was even more extremely excited and agitated!

"SSS-Rank! My Sky Dome Academy has actually welcomed a Prodigy with SSS-Rank Talent! And I am the Reception Elder for this event!"

"Hahaha! Today will undoubtedly be the most glorious moment in Sky Dome Academy's history. An SSS-Rank is enough to be recorded in the academy's annals! No! Enough to be recorded in human history! I'm afraid my name, Mo Chen, will also leave a significant mark in human history!"

"The Reception Elder for an SSS-Rank Talent Prodigy! Hahaha!"

Elder Mo Chen muttered excitedly to himself.

Just as he was immersed in shock, excitement, and agitation.

In the Viewing Area.

The Elders from various Family factions had also long gone completely crazy!

"Heavens! What color is this? What kind of spectacle is this? Are my old eyes failing me? Red? Is that red light? Is it an SSS-Rank Talent?"

"Who is it? Which Family's Genius offspring is this!"

"Could it be a descendant of the Qian or Feng Families? Or perhaps a Prodigy from one of those Hidden Families has emerged?"

Everyone looked toward the source of the erupting light.

Wanting to see exactly which Family's offspring it was!

Who possessed such Prodigy-level talent yet remained so silent, hidden so deeply.

However, when they roughly identified the source.

Everyone couldn't help but cry out in shock!

"No! No! That location! Isn't that... the Su Family direction just pointed out by the Lin Family Patriarch?"

"What Su Family?"

Many people, hearing this, scrutinized the area carefully again.

Earlier, they had all been distracted by Qian Rongrong's appearance and had ignored that Su Family matrilocal son-in-law!

Now, looking closely!

It was indeed the Su Family formation!

Someone exclaimed again!

"It's actually the Su Family! I remember the person about to test was that Su Family matrilocal son-in-law... the one from C City... that sixteen-year-old Gold Rank youth..."

"What?!!"

"Could it be... this SSS-Rank red light... it's not that matrilocal son-in-law, is it..."

The various Family personnel in the Viewing Area were filled with speculation and exclamations!

A premonition was already stirring in their hearts!

Clearly, if it was truly the Su Family formation.

The person testing was undoubtedly that matrilocal son-in-law!

"The Su Family... what kind of Heaven-Defying treasure have they stumbled upon?!"

"sixteen years old! Gold Rank! SSS-Rank Talent! This... this is going to defy the heavens!"

One Family Patriarch's voice was hoarse.

Carrying undisguised envy and shock.

The Elders from the Qian and Feng Families, who each boasted a double S-Rank,

Now had their earlier smugness and delight frozen stiff on their faces.

Transforming into solemnity and disbelief.

The top-tier Geniuses their Families were so proud of,

With their S-Rank talents,

Under the illumination of this red light,

Seemed... truly somewhat dimmed.

That sense of having just reached the summit only to be looked down upon by a higher Peak filled their hearts with mixed emotions.

And at the center of the storm,

The one bearing the most piercing chill was undoubtedly Lin Hong.

He stood there dumbly.

Like a clay statue that had its Soul instantly sucked out.

The color drained from his face, leaving only pallor.

The previous smirk of mockery and malice at the corner of his mouth, before it could fully fade, froze, twisted, and ultimately turned into lifeless gray.

Red... SSS-Rank... matrilocal son-in-law... these words crashed and echoed madly in his mind, each one like a heavy hammer smashing his dignity, his schemes, all his sense of superiority.

"No... impossible... fake... the Testing Stone must be malfunctioning..."

His lips moved.

Emitting a faint, mosquito-like denial.

But he couldn't even convince himself.

That red light was so real.

So overbearing.

The red-stained sky was the most merciless mockery.

"Hahaha!"

The Elder from the Zhao Family, who had some grievances with the Lin Family, wouldn't miss this opportunity. He deliberately raised his voice so the entire area could hear, filled with glee and sarcasm.

"Patriarch Lin! Didn't you just say with your golden mouth that this Su Family matrilocal son-in-law was a useless waste from C City, all reputation and no substance? This waste sure makes a big commotion, turning the whole sky red!"

Another Elder from the Sun Family stroked his beard.

Adding in a mocking tone.

"Indeed, Patriarch Lin's standards are high, he looks down on SSS-Rank Talent. Not like us, we have to treasure those useless A and B-Rank offspring of ours. Compared to this waste, we might as well throw ours away!"

"Tsk tsk! Sixteen! Gold Rank! SSS-Rank Talent... Patriarch Su, you didn't just take in a matrilocal son-in-law, you've invited a future Saint King home! You hid this so well!"

These words.

Sharper than blades, louder than slaps.

Scraped across Lin Hong's face one by one.

Stabbing into his heart.

His body swayed slightly, his face turning from pale to green, then from green to black. Turbulent Qi and blood churned in his chest, a metallic sweetness rising in his throat, which he forcefully swallowed back.

His teeth ground together audibly.

But he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

The more arrogantly he had earlier heaped praise on Su Yuntian, the more miserably he was now being backlashed by reality.

At the Su Family seating area.

Su Yuntian slowly stood up.

His movements were not fast.

But carried a sense of weight as heavy as a mountain, a power ready to erupt.

His hands trembled slightly at his sides, not from fear, but the natural reaction of his body being assaulted by extreme excitement and joy.

His gaze, traversing the Void Realm, locked firmly onto the figure within the red light pillar. His eyes shone with disbelief, ecstasy, gratification, and a trace of relieved emotion.

"Red... SSS-Rank..."

He murmured to himself.

His voice carrying unrestrained wild joy.

Clearly.

Even Su Yuntian himself had not anticipated Jiang Yun's talent would be so terrifying!

So astonishing!

SSS-Rank Talent!

Even looking across the entire Human Federation.

That was an extremely rare existence.

He had bet right!

He had gone all-in correctly!

This was no golden son-in-law.

This was clearly a Radiant Sun illuminating the Su Family's future for a hundred, a thousand years!

Thinking of his previous all-or-nothing investment and protection.

It now transformed into unparalleled relief and pride.

His heart surged with emotion, impossible to suppress.

He took a deep breath.

That breath seemed to draw in the red light filling the sky.

Turning into infinite confidence and heroic spirit.

He no longer suppressed himself, no longer remained low-key. Facing the gazes of the entire crowd focused on him—mixed with shock, envy, jealousy—he laughed heartily.

"Hahaha!!"

His laughter was like a dragon's roar.

Cleansing the world, instantly suppressing all the noise.

He took a step forward, his posture straight as a pine tree. His voice, like a great bell, resounded through the clouds with unwavering certainty and supreme glory.

"This youth's name is Jiang Yun!!"

"He is my Su Family's son-in-law!!"

"sixteen years old, at the Gold Rank!"

"Today, he has manifested an SSS-Rank Talent unprecedented in antiquity!!"

His gaze swept like lightning.

Over the crowd with their varied expressions.

Especially over Lin Hong, whose face was ashen.

He couldn't help but reveal a bit of smugness and disdain.

Word by word, firm and resounding.

"My Su Family's son-in-law! Possesses the potential of a Saint King!!!"

The four words 'potential of a Saint King'.

Like four bolts of thunder from the Nine Heavens.

Smashed down onto everyone's hearts!

Saint King!

That was a Realm surpassing the Radiant Sun, above the eclipsing moon, existing at the pinnacle of legends!

A Peak that countless Beast Tamers could hardly even hope to glimpse in their entire lives!

Su Yuntian.

A Patriarch of a second-rate Family.

Dared to make such a declaration.

For a sixteen-year-old youth!

If it were a moment ago.

It would have invited endless ridicule.

But now... looking at the still-lingering, sky-staining SSS-Rank light pillar, sensing the heart-palpitating potential and future contained within that light... no one laughed.

Only deeper shock.

And an ineffable sense of dread toward the Su Family's immense Luck.

The Su Family's son-in-law! Possesses the potential of a Saint King!

These words,

Along with the imprint of the red light,

Were deeply engraved into the minds of everyone in the Viewing Area.
