484: Chapter 487 Yang Xiu

"Senior Brother, almost everyone is here. Can we begin?"

The woman spoke.

"Yes, it is time."

The man looked around at the crowd and said loudly:

"My name is Yang Xiu, and I am an Inner Sect Disciple of the Divine Sword Sect from the Central Continent."

As his voice fell,

the entire place instantly fell silent.

Everyone had originally thought that those coming to recruit Disciples were just from a local sword Sect in Rock City.

But who could have imagined...

the visitors were actually envoys from the Divine Sword Sect.

That was the most powerful Sect in the distant Central Continent!

Everyone was stunned.

Why would such a top-tier great Sect condescend to come to such a remote small town to recruit Disciples?

"I suspect most of you here know very little about cultivation. So, I will briefly explain our Sect's requirements for taking in Disciples."

"Talents in this world are divided into seven color Ranks: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Purple."

"However, our Sect only recruits those with talent in the Sword Dao."

"I have a batch of Spirit-Testing Stones here. Each of you may take one and hold it in your palm. I will personally trigger your talents. If anyone can awaken a Sword Dao talent of Blue Rank or higher, I will exceptionally recruit them directly as an Inner Sect Disciple."

"Now, let us begin."

He took out ten thousand Spirit-Testing Stones from his Storage Ring and distributed them.

"Revered Master, I hope your divination was not wrong. We are in urgent need of a peerless genius with Purple talent or even higher; we can no longer afford any delay."

Yang Xiu thought to himself.

Lu Chen and Luon.

Each also received a Spirit-Testing Stone.

Luon's heart was filled with both nervousness and excitement.

"Begin!"

Following Yang Xiu's command,

the Spirit-Testing Stones in everyone's hands erupted with a dazzling white light.

The light merged into their bodies.

Yang Xiu observed intently,

waiting for the spiritual light representing talent to emerge from someone's body.

But the result left him greatly disappointed.

Not a single person in the crowd triggered any talent light.

Just as he was about to give up hope,

a brilliant, dazzling purple beam of light suddenly soared into the sky.

Its source was a boy in the crowd... it was Luon!

Overjoyed, Yang Xiu's figure blurred.

In an instant, he appeared before Luon.

He reached out to touch the purple light, sensing the talent Rank contained within.

"Sword Dao Saint!"

A hot tear fell from Yang Xiu's eye.

"Revered Master, your divination was correct! We found him!"

But just then,

a deep purple beam of light, a hundred times more dazzling than the purple light, suddenly erupted from the boy beside Luon and shot straight into the clouds!

Yang Xiu's eyes instantly widened.

Deep purple talent!

He had never seen anyone capable of Awakening such a Heaven-Defying talent!

He had only heard his Revered Master mention that the founding Ancestral Master of the Divine Sword Sect had awakened a deep purple talent.

That was the supreme talent known as the "Sword God"!

It was for this very reason that the Sect was named the "Divine Sword Sect."

Excitedly, he reached out to touch the deep purple beam of light.

But in the next second, his expression darkened at a visible rate.

His heart full of ecstasy instantly turned into extreme disappointment.

"Healing."

That's right. What Lu Chen had awakened was indeed a top-tier deep purple talent.

But it was a Healing talent.

A purely supportive type of talent.

Yang Xiu was filled with disappointment.

To have a top-tier deep purple talent but be a support with zero combat ability...

And the Divine Sword Sect only recruited combat-oriented talents related to the Sword Dao.

Left with no choice,

he could only turn his gaze back to Luon.

"Young man, you have qualified to enter the Inner Sect of the Divine Sword Sect."

At this moment, Luon was still immersed in the state of talent Awakening.

Hearing this, he suddenly snapped his eyes open.

He wanted to see who the lucky one was that could be chosen by the most powerful Sect in the world.

The voice was right in his ear. Could it be... Lu Chen?

For some reason, he was genuinely happy for Lu Chen from the bottom of his heart.

But when he clearly saw the face of the person in front of him,

he found Yang Xiu looking at him with a smile.

Luon was instantly dazed.

He didn't even know yet what kind of talent he had awakened.

The surrounding youths also opened their eyes one after another.

Their gazes were all cast toward Luon with envy.

Luon's clothes were dirty and tattered.

Anyone could see that he was a poor boy from the slums.

"Are... are you speaking to me, My Lord?"

Luon's voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Yes, it is you. You have awakened a purple Sword Dao talent. In the future, it is highly likely you will become a Core Disciple of the Sect."

Yang Xiu himself was actually a Personal Disciple of the Divine Sword Sect's Sect Master and a designated Core Disciple of the Sect.

However, while traveling abroad, he did not reveal this identity.

Luon's legs gave way, and he slumped directly onto the ground.

He could hardly believe his ears.

He, a slum boy who couldn't even afford three meals a day, was actually going to become a Disciple of the most powerful Sect in the world?

This was like something that only happened in fairy tales!

But then he remembered something and turned to look at Lu Chen.

He saw Lu Chen looking at him with a smile, his eyes filled with sincere blessings.

"Congratulations, Luon. Your parents will finally be able to live a good life from now on and won't have to work so hard anymore."
