"There are four primary colors here, which represent four basic elements that an Eon Energy Elemental path has. The other pillars are white, transparent like glass, and also black, respectively. Each of them represents the other paths."

"You know a lot, Senior Brother."

"I have my own means to gather information," Qi Huan chuckled.

"So, there are four paths once you become Eon Energy Master Rank 4?" Ye Jiao asked.

Qi Huan nodded. "Four primary paths with Elemental being the most common one. Well, I don't know the details too, but each of them has its own perks. I'm sure we'll learn more about them once we enter the academy in the future.

"I see. Shall we try?"

"Sure."

The two of them picked an empty spot and sat down on the ground before entering a meditative state. Ye Jiao could faintly sense the movements of Eon Energy around her body. At that moment, she felt as if she could see each of their colors clearly. The light surrounding her was no longer just bright, but they have their own distinctive color.

'Red, pink, orange, white, blue, light blue, brown, light brown, cream color, grey, silver, green, yellow, black….'

They all looked so beautiful. Even though Ye Jiao didn't open her eyes, she could 'see' them all surrounding her body through her senses. At that moment, she understood that each color must have represented every element that existed. However, they were not only four basic elements, even those that should be an intermediate element was there.

'Which one that I usually absorb?'

Ye Jiao tried to pull them into her body. She could see two colors were drawn into her body rapidly as if they were impatient. Soon, warmth filled her body, and Ye Jiao no longer paid any attention to them.

She focused her entire attention on the Eon Energy that she absorbed.

Besides Ye Jiao, Qi Huan also began his practice. Different from Ye Jiao, he couldn't see all of the colors. He could only see one that has a unique color for him. That was the one that got pulled into his body as he trained.

Just like that, time passed without them knowing.

Time passed swiftly.

By the time Qi Huan finished his own training because he felt full, he noticed his surroundings had changed. He casually turned around to the nearby man.

"Do you know how much time left before the beginning of the examination starts?"

The man pointed to the highest building in that city. There were numbers written on top of it. "You can actually see it from there.'

"I see. Thank you."

'This treasure helps us to focus and provide Eon Energy.'

It was a beneficial treasure for someone who is still an Eon Energy Master Rank 3. He himself knew that it usually would take him a long time to gain this much. Seeing how he managed to absorb a lot, it just showed how much this path suited him.

However, he still needed to check the other places too.

'Right, Ye Jiao?'

He turned his head to the side and saw the young girl still sitting peacefully. She was calm and entirely focused on her own training without caring for anything else around her. There was a faint movement of Eon Energy around her body, pouring inside like an endless pool of water.

Qi Huan was surprised to see that Ye Jiao could stay here for that long. After all, he himself had to finish his training because he was unable to stay here any longer.

'She must have great aptitude… or is it because of her talent?'

He was not sure.

"Your Highness!"

The sudden call caused his body to turn stiff. Upon seeing his guard, the one named Min, standing not far from him with a frown on his face, Qi Huan could only smile. He guessed that his appearance must have returned back to normal because his guard could notice him immediately.

"Yes, Min?"

"I can see that you sure take your time. You're attracting attention by staying here for 2 days!" the guard named Min protested.

Qi Huan's eyebrows arched. It sounded as if staying here for a long time meant something. "Is it really attracting attention?"

"Yes, that's because only those who have innate talent can possibly stay for over a day," the guard wiped his sweat. "This meant that you have a great talent, Your Highness."

Innate talent?'

Qi Huan had heard about this in the past from his master. Those from the Four Kingdoms were not clear about what this was, but if one should say, it was the specialization talent. This talent didn't worth anything before they reached Eon Energy Master Rank 4. Before that time, it would only help them to absorb Eon Energy quicker.

This was the reason some people could be much faster than what their talent suggests them to be.

Looking at the pillar before him, he knew that his talent must be a water element. From the story he heard when he visited the Spring Island before, he knew that the Qi Family was the descendant of the Water Emperor. That meant, he should have water specialization.

'But If I attract attention, what about Ye Jiao? Oh right, I just attract attention because of my hair.'

"Isn't that good news?" Qi Huan tried to gloss over the matter swiftly.

The guard felt helpless. "The others are waiting for you to return, Your Highness. Please return back with me."

"Fine, fine," Qi Huan shrugged and walked away from his position. His eyes landed on Ye Jiao for a split second, but he didn't try to disturb the young girl.



Ye Jiao opened her eyes when she had felt enough. Her body felt full, and she could see that her rank has stabilized ever further. It wouldn't take that long for her to reach the middle stage.

'This treasure is really amazing.'

She didn't expect to see her surroundings changed completely. There was no one from the time when she had just started training. Even Qi Huan had disappeared. Looking around, she noticed the tallest building and the number written there.

18 hours left.

Eh?

Ye Jiao looked at the time with a silly expression. She knew that it meant there was less than one day left but did it mean she spent her time here for five to six days? Just how much that she had absorbed from her surroundings?

Even though she didn't direct them all to her core, most of them still entered there. It was the reason she could feel that her rank had strengthened. As for the rest of the Eon Energy, she directed them all to every part of her body to nourish them.

"Eh, she's so small."

The exclamation caused her to turn her head to the direction of the voice. Her eyes narrowed as she recognized them almost instantly as Chen Zi Quan, Wei Yin, Wei Cheng, Wei Mi, and Wei Xie. This would be the first time in her life she met with Wei Xie directly, but she knew that it must be her.

The young girl has a delicate appearance with innocent—like eyes that would attract men with just a glance. She was dressed in humble clothes, which Ye Jiao guessed was because of her low status. As someone born from a lowly concubine, it was to be expected that she wouldn't be able to wear precious things like the other two.

However, her expression was calm. There was even a hint of a smile on the corner of her lips, making her look charming. It was as if there was nothing wrong with the treatment she got in the Wei Family.

"Ye Jiao," Wei Cheng muttered out her name when he saw her face. After meeting with her again almost a week ago, he could never forget her anymore. She was the one who knew about his secret and had a compelling martial art.

"Wei Cheng, Wei Mi, and Miss Wei Xie," Ye Jiao greeted them back.

Wei Xie's eyes flickered when she heard how Ye Jiao greeted her. This would be their first time meeting, so Ye Jiao treated her politely. However, comparing her with her brother and sister, she didn't have that much worth.

She raised her head to look at Ye Jiao. "Miss Ye Jiao, I don't deserve that much praise."

"It's just a greeting," Ye Jiao smiled back.

Wei Xie looked at Ye Jiao for a split second before retreating her gaze again. She acted as if she was nothing more than a servant in that family. Even though she was actually born as Wei Shang's daughter, her status was so low.

Wei Cheng didn't seem to care for how she greeted them, but Wei Mi looked like she would explode anytime. Her eyes were red as she looked at Ye Jiao with a displeased expression. Right now, she wished for nothing more than to tear down this girl just like what she did in the past.

How dare she call her by her name directly!

"You don't have the right to call my name!" Wei Mi roared.

Hearing the young girl's words, Ye Jiao just pursed her lips.
