Chapter 258 Which Hospital to Choose?

Zhan Qiong personally confirmed it.

It was like an official final verdict.

It thoroughly brought a shockingly grand conclusion to this turbulent Aptitude test.

SSS-Rank!

That youth from City C.

The one named Jiang Yun.

Indeed!

He possessed the Legendary SSS-Rank Aptitude that stood at the pinnacle of human talent!

Furthermore...

Judging by the tragic sight of the testing stones exploding one after another, the terrifying extent of his talent might far exceed the definition of this Rank itself!

After experiencing wave after wave of shock, doubt, more shock, and more doubt until they were completely numb, the entire audience finally broke out into a released, mountain-shaking torrent of exclamations and discussion!

"SSS-Rank! The Dean certified it himself!"

"My god! We really witnessed history! A living SSS-Rank!"

"Three testing stones were sacrificed... this level of prestige is unprecedented!"

"What kind of monstrous luck has the Su Family stumbled upon! To actually recruit such a prize son-in-law!"

"From now on, the landscape of the provincial capital's younger generation is likely to be completely rewritten! No, the power structure of the entire provincial capital will be shaken!"

"With such talent coming to light, it will surely stir the provincial capital. Under the cultivation of Sky Dome Academy, he'll likely soon surpass the Feng Family Prodigy Feng Xingyun and the Qian Family's Qian Luoyun!"

"That's a certainty! Feng Xingyun and Qian Luoyun are merely S-Rank Talents, while this Jiang Yun has a genuine SSS-Rank Talent! Although S-Rank is also for prodigies... there's simply no comparison!"

"I'm afraid it won't be long before the top spot on the provincial capital's Heaven Ranking changes hands..."

...The crowd discussed fervently.

Witnessing this historic moment.

They were practically more excited than Jiang Yun himself.

At the same time.

The Su Family's formation had long since erupted into an ocean of joy. Every Su Family disciple's face beamed with immense pride, their gazes toward Jiang Yun filled with fervent admiration.

"Hahaha! Our Su Family is going to rise!"

"With Son-in-Law Jiang Yun here, my Su Family will surely soar to the heavens!"

"Son-in-Law Jiang Yun is too badass! SSS-Rank Talent! He's leagues ahead of those so-called geniuses from the Feng and Qian families!"

...The Su Family disciples were incredibly excited.

Fox Immortal stood quietly among them.

Her golden pupils reflected the figure of the youth under the spotlight. Waves stirred in her heart, yet she maintained her cold exterior.

She had sensed Jiang Yun's uniqueness earlier than anyone else present, but today's feat of exploding three testing stones still caused her evaluation of this temporary contractor to rise once again.

"A talent surpassing SSS-Rank... this has already touched upon some ancient Legendary boundaries. His Beast Taming Space and his appraisal ability might all be related to this. It's becoming more and more interesting..."

She thought to herself.

Regarding this human youth's future growth trajectory, she actually felt a hint of anticipation that even she hadn't noticed.

To the side.

Su Mingxuan now looked as if all his bones had been removed, leaning limply against a companion behind him, his face deathly pale and his eyes hollow.

SSS-Rank Talent... this matrilocal son-in-law he had always tried to belittle, suppress, and treat as a stumbling block actually possessed a Legendary talent that even his eldest brother Su Gumu... or even the top of the provincial Heaven Ranking could not hope to match!

The massive disparity and fear submerged him like a cold tide.

He didn't even have the strength left to be jealous.

Only endless panic remained.

How ridiculous and dangerous his previous foolish provocations and schemes were in the face of an existence destined to stand above the clouds!

Lin Tao was even more scared out of his wits.

Taking advantage of the excited and chaotic crowd around him.

Like a frightened rat.

He desperately shrunk back into the depths of the crowd.

Wishing he could become invisible immediately.

His face was pale, and he was drenched in cold sweat.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

"Leave quickly! Go find Big Brother! This monster absolutely cannot be left alive! If he holds a grudge... our Lin Family is finished!"

He now deeply regretted his arrogance on the Earth-Walking Camel Beast and his malicious words just now; it was simply courting an unimaginable and terrifying enemy for himself and his entire Family.

Now, only fear remained in his heart.

On the other side.

In the viewing area.

The status had flipped; he was now the center of attention.

The atmosphere was already completely different from before the test, or even when the first red light appeared.

After a brief silence.

There was a wave of congratulations and conversation even more fervent and urgent than on the square.

The representatives of various Family forces.

Their faces had long since been replaced with the most sincere, enthusiastic, and even somewhat fawning smiles as they swarmed toward the Su Family's seats.

"Congratulations, Patriarch Su! My sincerest congratulations!"

A Patriarch who had been speaking sarcastically earlier.

Now had a face full of smiles.

"The Su Family has a Wisdom Eye for pearls, gaining such a Qilin son-in-law. It is truly Heaven's blessing on the Su Family! The Su Family's rise is just around the corner! In the future provincial capital, we shall follow the Su Family's lead!"

The attendant behind him.

Immediately presented a congratulatory gift several times more valuable than the previous apology gift.

"Patriarch Su, if there were any verbal offenses before, it was truly due to my lack of insight. I hope you can be magnanimous!"

Another Family Elder lowered his posture extremely low.

"From now on, my Zhao Family is willing to follow the Su Family's orders, strengthen cooperation, and seek common development!"

Those Family representatives who previously had old grudges with the Su Family and had only offered forced apologies were now eager to show their loyalty, swearing to let bygones be bygones and willing to cede interests to stabilize the relationship.

And the most eye-catching of all.

Was undoubtedly the change in attitude of the Elders from the Qian and Feng families, the top families in the provincial capital.

The leading Elder of the Qian Family.

The old man who had previously carried a transcendent aura while enjoying everyone's congratulations for his Young Miss's S-Rank Talent, now walked solemnly before Su Yuntian.

He cupped his hands in greeting, his tone calm and respectful.

"Patriarch Su, congratulations. Your son-in-law, young friend Jiang Yun, has world-startling talent. This is a blessing for the Su Family and for the Human Race. My Qian Family has always respected heroes. If the Su Family has any needs in the future, or if young friend Jiang Yun has any requirements at the academy, my Qian Family is willing to offer our humble assistance. I look forward to more opportunities for exchange and cooperation with the Su Family in the future."

He was no longer congratulating from a superior position, but truly treating the Su Family as a potential partner that required equal dialogue, or perhaps even one they might need to rely on in the future.

The Feng Family Elder likewise retracted the slight arrogance he had felt earlier due to his own disciple's A-Rank Talent.

He took a deep look at Jiang Yun on the square.

And said to Su Yuntian.

"Patriarch Su, good eye, good fortune. I, Feng, have truly had my eyes opened today. The future of the Su Family's golden son-in-law is limitless. It is our luck that such a figure has appeared in the provincial capital. The Feng Family is willing to befriend the Su Family and jointly maintain the stability and prosperity of the provincial capital."

In his words.

He had already raised the Su Family to a height where they could discuss matters jointly with the Feng Family.

The change in attitude of these first-rate forces.

Was undoubtedly the most powerful indicator.

Everyone understood.

An SSS-Rank Talent.

Coupled with the background of Sky Dome Academy's certain full-scale cultivation.

Jiang Yun's future.

Was already more than just being a rising star of the provincial capital.

He was highly likely to enter the vision of those true giants in the Central State and become an existence that influenced a larger landscape.

And for the Su Family, as his in-laws.

The momentum of their rise was already unstoppable.

If they didn't build a connection now, when would they?

Facing this wave of compliments and gestures of goodwill, the sense of gratification and vindication among the Su Family members was simply beyond words.

Su Qingshan slapped an Elder beside him hard on the shoulder and laughed loudly, his voice booming through the area.

"How about it! I told you my eyes were sharp! From the first moment I saw this kid, I knew he was no ordinary person! The Patriarch's decision to keep him despite all opposition was simply a stroke of Genius!"

Several core Elders were also beaming with joy.

Stroking their beards, they nodded repeatedly.

In their hearts, they admired Patriarch Su Yuntian's foresight and decisiveness to the point of total submission.

An Elder sighed in a low voice.

"Going all-in is an art! Looking at it now, it's simply the most worthwhile investment of the century! No, this isn't an investment anymore; this is inviting a future guardian deity for my Su Family!"

Su Yuntian himself.

Appeared the most composed at this moment.

He wore a smile.

Responding to the congratulations from various forces one by one, neither appearing overly proud nor feigning humility. That steady demeanor earned him the respect of many.

He knew.

All this glory and change.

Stemmed from that youth in the square.

Meanwhile.

Under the focus of the entire audience's gaze.

Zhan Qiong spoke again.

His voice was sonorous.

"Young friend Jiang Yun, you have passed the test. Your talent Rank... is confirmed as the highest Rank."

He paused.

He didn't directly mention the possibility of it surpassing SSS-Rank again. After all, that was too world-shaking and required the academy's higher-ups or even a report to carefully study and define it.

"Now, you have the right to choose which main institute of the Sky Dome Academy's Inner Academy you wish to enter for further study. This concerns the core direction of your future Dao of Beast Taming. I hope you consider it carefully."

He looked around at the other deans in the air, whose eyes had reignited with fervent flames.

He added.

"Of course, no matter which institute you choose, the academy will provide you with the highest specification of cultivation treatment. Now, tell us your choice."

As his voice fell.

The entire square fell silent once more.

Only the sound of the wind blowing could be heard.

Medicine Dust Son of the Pill Institute, Tie Kuang of the Artifact Institute, Dean of Array Department Xuan Jizi of the Formation Institute, Wen Yuan of the Rune Institute, Vice Dean Yan Song of the Appraisal Institute, Vice Dean Yan Lie of the Beast Taming Institute, along with Zhan Qiong and Vice Dean Ming Jing.

Everyone's gaze was tightly locked on Jiang Yun.

Although they said they respected his choice.

The expectation in their eyes was almost tangible.

Everyone pricked up their ears.

Tensely waiting for Jiang Yun's answer.

This SSS-Rank peerless Prodigy.

Which inner institute would he actually choose?

Which Great Dao of Beast Taming?

After all, each of these choices.

Meant a completely different yet equally glorious future.

Jiang Yun stood in the center of the square.

Feeling the gaze of countless eyes.

Thoughts raced through his mind...
