473: Let me show you the difference between us.
One by one, they stepped forward; some were incredibly excited, while others were utterly disappointed. However, among the first thirty people, not a single one lit up the third Rune.
The Fifth Elder couldn't help but shake his head. He felt that the quality of this batch was quite mediocre.
It had been many years since the Su Family had produced a Genius with extraordinary Comprehension Ability.
In many cases, Comprehension Ability is even more important than talent. This is because in the Late Stage of a Realm, the Realm is almost entirely related to the strength of one's power over the Law of the Dao.
The Dao must be comprehended; it cannot be achieved simply by relying on Cultivation. It is an extreme test of one's Comprehension Ability.
From the fact that the Su Family Old Ancestor established this Spirit Testing Stone, it can be seen that the Su Family values Comprehension Ability more than innate talent.
Of course, if your talent is exceptional, the Family will still value you, but this Spirit Testing Stone also serves as a standard for measuring talent.
“Su Ao!”
A group of young men and women immediately turned to look, their gazes all converging on Su Ao.
Not just them, but even many Elders of the Su Family turned their attention toward Su Ao.
Among this generation, Su Ao's performance was indeed very prominent, only slightly inferior to Su Lan.
Currently, Su Lan is at the Earth Immortal Realm, while Su Ao is already at the Human Immortal Realm. Furthermore, he possesses the Purgatory Immortal Physique, ranked twelfth among all Immortal Physiques.
In terms of Physique strength alone, he is already more terrifying than their Su Family Old Ancestor. If he can achieve good results on this Spirit Testing Stone, it means that as long as no accidents occur in the future, Su Ao can surpass their Su Family Old Ancestor.
Of course.
Given the strength of the Purgatory Immortal Physique, even if the Spirit Testing Stone doesn't yield great results, his future cultivation cannot possibly be lower than the Profound Immortal Realm; at the very least, he will reach the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm.
In the Elder's seating area not far away, many people had looks of anticipation on their Faces.
“This Su Ao has the Purgatory Immortal Physique; he is simply the future of our Su Family.”
“To have such a Prodigy is truly a blessing for our Su Family.”
Among them...
The Second Elder had a smile on his Face. Su Ao was his grandson, so he naturally placed great importance on him.
Sensing everyone's eyes on him, Su Ao tilted his head slightly with a look of pride. He seemed certain that Su Lan wouldn't dare hit him at this moment, so he looked directly at her.
“Violence Girl, watch closely. In a moment, this young master will show you what true comprehension power is, what it means to be a once-in-ten-thousand-years talent, and what a Prodigy's bearing looks like.”
“I will let you know what a real gap is. We... are simply not the same kind of people.”
“Good!”
As soon as Su Ao finished speaking, a group of lackeys around him immediately echoed their support.
“Exactly! Isn't Su Lan only able to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm at such a young age because she relies on the Old Ancestor? If Brother Su Ao had also been nurtured by the Old Ancestor, how could he only be a Human Immortal? He probably would have broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm long ago.”
“More than just Heavenly Immortal, I reckon he'd be a True Immortal directly.”
Hearing this, Su Ao immediately kicked that person.
Damn it!
Don't drag me into your excessive bragging!
However, he did have a bit of arrogance and resentment. Su Lan lived on the back mountain and had surely been meticulously nurtured by the Old Ancestor since childhood. If he had been given that same treatment, his cultivation would definitely be at least at the Earth Immortal Realm.
When Su Lan heard someone call her 'Violence Girl', she felt terrible. she really wanted to rush up and give Su Ao a violent thrashing, beating him into a pig's head.
But she couldn't!
At least not right now.
With so many people watching, Su Lan was still a girl after all, so she naturally had to maintain her ladylike image.
Su Lan cleared her throat, a smile of feigned confusion on her Face, though the coldness in her eyes was unconcealed: “Su Ao, what on earth are you talking about? I don't quite understand.”
“And 'Violence Girl'... it's not good to give people such nicknames.”
“For a gentle and virtuous person like me to be slandered like this, if word gets out, how will I Face others?”
Huh?
As soon as these words came out, the group of people around Su Ao looked at Su Lan with incredulous eyes.
You can actually say that?
Have you become this shameless?
They had all been brutally beaten by Su Lan. That girl fought with lethal intent; they still felt a bit fearful just thinking about it now.
Su Ao looked at the slightly shy and confused expression on Su Lan's Face and fell silent. After a good while, he slowly spoke:
“Do you know? Su Lan, you acting like this truly makes me feel extremely alienated and disgusted.”
Dammit!
Su Lan immediately flew into a rage. Without another word, she rushed forward, intending to give Su Ao a beating.
This kid was just asking for it!
Su Ao ran directly toward the platform, shouting as he went: “Look, everyone! This is the Violence Girl! She's too violent!”
In the distant Elder's seats, the Second Elder had a look of slight embarrassment on his Face.
“Elder Su Hao, the child's words were unintentional.”
Su Hao waved his hand, a smile on his Face: “It's no matter.”
Compared to the previously lifeless Su Family, he preferred it this way.
In the past, when the juniors of the Su Family met, they would exchange formal greetings with great courtesy and distance. Although they were bickering and fighting now, their relationship might actually be closer.
Su Lan looked at Su Ao, who was acting smug on the platform, and trembled with rage, but she did not continue to make a scene.
Everything has a limit; it would be impolite to keep causing a disturbance.
Su Lan said coldly: “Su Ao, you just wait.”
Hearing that incredibly cold voice, Su Ao suddenly felt a chill down his spine. But a man must always maintain Face, even if he was just a young man.
Su Ao sneered and said with full arrogance: “Once you understand the gap between us, I believe you won't even have the courage to appear before me.”
After saying that, he walked toward the Spirit Testing Stone.
Then, he directly raised his hand to touch the Spirit Testing Stone.
Outside the arena...
The Second Elder's heart also grew nervous. The Spirit Testing Stone represented many things. If Su Ao could light up more Runes, it would prove that Su Ao's comprehension was better and that he could go further in the future.
Su Ao closed his eyes, and the entire Spirit Testing Stone gradually began to glow.
Immediately after...
One by one, Runes danced around Su Ao, and his entire body was suffused with a faint radiance.
Everyone present watched with bated breath. Such a scene indicated that Su Ao could at least light up one Rune.
Of course, for a Prodigy like Su Ao, lighting up one Rune was normal and presented no difficulty at all.
If Su Ao couldn't even light up a single Rune, then there would be a major problem.
As time passed, a Rune suddenly lit up at the top of the Spirit Testing Stone. In just a few breaths, the second one lit up, and then the third.
However, after the third one lit up, the speed began to slow down, and the fourth Rune was slow to appear.
The Second Elder's breathing became somewhat rapid. Three Runes were already very good, but he felt that Su Ao's comprehension power was more than just three Runes.
He had raised this grandson since childhood and knew his capabilities well; he was definitely capable of rivaling the Old Ancestor.
It should be at least around five Runes.
After a while, the Spirit Testing Stone vibrated again, and a powerful force of the Law of the Dao spread out. Su Ao's figure was filled with divinity, and his entire being was shrouded in light.
“The fourth Rune has lit up.”
