Thinking of his little brother, Wei Liao, he grew annoyed. If only that boy was still alive and well, he could have just replaced the Wei Family. Now that he was the only male left, his father wouldn't let him off just like that. His eyes flashed with ruthlessness for a split second at the thought that he wouldn't be able to get away from his father.

He sneered internally. He wouldn't return back to that kingdom. There was nothing else that could benefit him in that place.

Ye Jiao walked to the middle of the crowd. She could see a lot of other people have gathered already. Neither one of them wanted to be late for this important event. Naturally, she would be included.

"Oh, you're already here, Ye Jiao!" Han Fu waved his hand as he walked closer. He smiled brightly. "Did you have a good rest yesterday? You still look sleepy."

"I did," Ye Jiao replied. "How about you, Han Fu?"

"I'm well," Han Fun puffed his chest. "They should reconsider building a better inn, though. Everything there is quite monotone. It feels as if there's no difference from one inn to another."

Ye Jiao blinked when she heard his words. "Han Fu, did you visit numerous inns?"

"Why? Of course! I have to make sure that they prepare the best place for us. However, I can't seem to find any difference in the places. It makes me waste a good amount of time just to wander around."

"…" in the first place, who would try to find an inn for an entire day?

Han Fu stretched his body. "I heard that in this test, we're going to be tested on our future specialization. I'm curious as to how they'll be able to find them out."

"Couldn't they just use the pillars?"

"It does not apply to everyone," Han Fu shrugged. "Besides, how many hours do you want to spend just to test one person by asking them to stay in front of the pillar? It might take a long time for one to enter a meditative state if it's just a little affinity in the said field. That's why they can't really use it if they want to pick."

Ye Jiao tilted her head. "I thought that those who could enter the top 100 will mostly have great talent."

"MOSTLY. Pay attention to that word," Han Fu smirked. "There are a lot of older youngsters in this place. Do you really think that all of us have great talent that could make them pay interest to us?"

There were indeed dozens of older participants around her. Ye Jiao didn't pay much attention to them before because she had just arrived. Seeing their age and talent, one could say that they might not have that much innate talent. They only have slightly better talent and could reach this place by relying on their heart and experience.

"I see."

It was indeed the truth that not all geniuses would be able to reach the peak. The journey to reach that position would be filled with the arduous challenge all the time. They have to make sure that they could pass them all if they wished to achieve their goal.

"I'll be going for a light run. There's still a few minutes left, and I haven't finished my warm-up."

"Alright."

Ye Jiao stayed in her place as Han Fu started to jog. From the corner of her eyes, she could see many people have come to the location. Gao Yun also has arrived and walked to her in large strides. With his build, one might guess that he was already 15 years old rather than the 13 years old he truly was.

 "Good morning, Ye Jiao."

"Good morning, Gao Yun," Ye Jiao replied with a smile. "Are you ready for the examination?"

"Yes."

Compared to Han Fu, Gao Yun was a man of little words. He would only speak when it was necessary, so Ye Jiao didn't try to force him to speak again. She silently circulated her Eon Energy in her body.

TENG!

The sudden sound of the bell alarmed everyone. They quickly turned towards the gate, where Qin Zheng was standing with a smile on his face. There was a bell in his hand that he lifted up.

Everyone's mind: 'Why is it him again?'

"You should step back," Qin Zheng said to the people who were standing near the gate. His tone was flat and cold. "If you don't wish to get harm, you shouldn't stand there."

"Y-yes!"

"Excuse us!"

As they moved to the back, Qin Zheng placed the bell on the gate. He poured his Eon Energy, and a large door appeared on the place where the gate was located. Its size perfectly suited the gate, but it was white in color and seemed to be filled with boundless energy.

"Come in, you'll be tested in another location."

They didn't immediately move as they still remembered how this man cheated on them yesterday. Thanks to him, many of their friends were careless and unable to become part of the top 100 even though their strength was sufficient.

Seeing that, Ye Jiao's lips curled up slightly. It was funny to see them unable to trust Qin Zheng.

If only she hadn't met him before, she would surely be unable to trust him too.

"We only have to walk through this door, right?" Ye Jiao asked as she stepped forward. Her small finger was pointing at the white door that seemed to come into life.

Qin Zheng's eyes flashed for a moment. He nodded his head. "Yes, you just have to walk through this door."

"It won't suddenly place me in a dangerous situation, right?"

"No, it won't."

"Alright then," Ye Jiao walked closer. The moment she got close, she sensed Eon Energy movements, and Qin Zheng's voice reverberated in her ear. Her eyes widened as she turned to look at Qin Zheng, but he had turned around to look at the other participant.

"Don't make them wait for long," Qin Zheng spoke out while the other people started to crowd that location.

Ye Jiao no longer hesitated and stepped into the door. She could feel a strong force pulling her inside. Even though she tried to resist, it was for naught. In the next moment, she found herself in an unfamiliar rocky land. There was a man who was speaking in the building before, standing before her.

He was wearing a dark grey robe with a sphere right beside him.

"You're Ye Jiao, right? Place your hand on this sphere."

"Ah, ok," Ye Jiao quickened her pace and stopped right before the man. She was curious about the man's appearance because he looked a bit mysterious, but she didn't try to take a peek. Her hand was placed on top of the sphere, and she felt the movements of Eon Energy from inside.

It was warm.

"Eon Energy Rank 3 Early Stage. Stand on the right."

"Ok."

After her, Han Fu got out of the gate. His eyes showed astonishment. "Wow, I didn't expect that a Teleportation Array can be in the shape of a door. It's amazing!"

"Han Fu, come here and place your hand on this sphere."

"What are-," Han Fu was about to yell, but he soon realized that the one speaking to him was one of the elders. He quickly shut his mouth and changed his words. "Alright, Teacher."

On the right side, Ye Jiao was trying her best to hold back her laughter. This young man seemed to be the type that talked too much and didn't think at all. However, she could sense the hidden danger from the young man's gaze when she spoke to him before. From the short time he took to finish the last part yesterday, she could guess that this young man must be extremely dangerous.

"Eon Energy Master Rank 3 Early Stage, stand on the right."

"Ok."

Han Fu took a large stride and stood beside Ye Jiao. He sighed deeply. "Man, that scares me. I didn't expect to see a teacher as soon as I came here. I thought that that senior is going to play a prank on us again."

"Aaa!"

Just then, they could see a young man who appeared slightly midair. He lost his balance and fell face first on the ground. The others couldn't help but pass him a look for they understood that it should be impossible for them to fall down like that unless he was unable to use his Eon Energy to stabilize himself.

"That must be embarrassing," Han Fu grinned. "He's truly playful."

"Right."

Afterwards, that man was not the only one to arrive in such a manner. Ye Jiao could see the teacher's lips twitching as he continued to test them, but he didn't say anything. Internally, she hoped that he could give Qin Zheng a good bashing. That way, the arrogant man could learn a little lesson.

However, her mind also recalled Qin Zheng's words when she was about to get inside.

'There's no ranking in the first examination after you get tested for your rank. Rather than standing at the peak, it'll be better if you try to understand your innate talent better and try to not stand out too much. Sense the Eon Energy in your surroundings and take the chance to find out your specialization by yourself.'

Because she had gotten first place in the previous stage, Ye Jiao knew that many people were looking at her. They wanted to know more about her performance in this stage and naturally would try to pay attention to her.

'It might be safer if I didn't rank first again,' Ye Jiao's mind thought about it. She honestly wanted to do her best and achieved the best rank. However, she also didn't want to make them target her because she would be too bright.

Uh, what a dilemma.
