No talent!

Many people turned around to look at Ye Jiao. Some of their gazes were filled with mockery, while others were filled with pity. However, the person in question was awfully calm as if she couldn't see them.

Even before that young man exclaimed that they couldn't find her name, she had seen it before. After all, she had been searching for her name among the rows of names in front of her. Seeing that she couldn't find her name, she didn't feel disappointed.

She has no talent?

Then what?

This was not the first time she encountered this scene because she had seen them in the past. When she was just six years old, she was also tested and found out that she didn't have any talent whatsoever. At that time, she believed that talent was everything, so she tried to beg the tester.

However, she came to understand that there was no use crying, begging, or hoping for the nonexistent result.

At that time, it would affect her badly because only with talent could one learn how to control Eon Energy and absorb them. But this time, it was completely different. These talents would only help them pick their path in the future, and even without it, one could be successful.

She would be slower than the others.

That's fine! She would just work harder.

Her path would be filled with hardship.

She would welcome it with open arms. Only by overcoming hardship would she be able to grow stronger.

The path of a genius is not a path filled with petal flowers and having everything ready, but it is the path filed with hardship where they have to work hard if they want to achieve their goal.

"Ye Jiao?" Han Fu narrowed his eyes. As someone with S talent, he had a keener sense of Eon Energy movements. For a moment, he felt as if there were Eon Energy movements around Ye Jiao, surrounding her body with brilliant lights. There was an illusion in his eyes that the one standing in front of him was not just ordinary youngsters, but someone with brilliant light.

It was amazing.

Ye Jiao lifted her head. Her eyes looked as if they were shining despite the fact that she was awfully calm. "Is there anything wrong, Han Fu?"

"Are y-," are you alright?

He wanted to ask that, but he could feel the emotion of this girl was calm. There was not a single ripple in her eyes as if she had long known about this and accepted it. However, she was also determined to not let it be the one to decide her fate.

By the side, Qin Zheng watched as all eyes fell on Ye Jiao and gave her that gaze filled with pity and even maliciousness. He paid no heed to them all as his eyes only landed on the young girl. Her emotion stirred for a moment before it calmed down again as if what they saw was nothing but an illusion.

'Her eyes… as I thought, she's not ordinary.'

"Geez, that's why she shouldn't have pulled so much attention," Elder Cai snorted. "Look at what happens, they all will just give her jeers because of her 'remarkable talent.'"

It was known that these talents would determine their path once they reached rank 4 because their previous talent mattered only a little bit. If they didn't have enough talent in specific specialization, it would take them much longer to advance from rank 4 to rank 5.

After all, all of it required specialization.

"She's just a little genius who thinks too much of herself," Elder Yi also added. He didn't really like those geniuses who were born with great talent, yet it turned out that they didn't have much worth in the end.

Elder Xin shook her head. "All in all, she's still someone with S talent. Even if her path is slower, she will be able to reach the stage at a much faster rate compared with those with B or even A talent."

"And if she slacks off, those with A talent can easily surpass her," Elder Cai grunted. "Anyway, I'm not interested in those kinds of disciples. My Bing Gong Academy is not suitable for any enhancement or control specialization too, so I'll let her go."

"Oh, it's rare for you to give up so early," Elder Qian arched his eyebrows.

"I'm only interested in the water element and also the ice element. Too bad I can't find any with the ice element among the top 100, but maybe I'll be lucky enough to find in that large batch of people who qualify."

"I wish you good luck, Elder Cai."

"I'll give up on her too," Elder Yi added. "I'll still give her the offer because of her talent, but I don't really have much interest in her. I'm more inclined to take Han Fu or Gao Yun."

"I want that young man too."

"Heh, we shall see whose offer is better."

Elder Qian shook his head. The examination was not over yet, but these people have already started to pick the disciple they wanted. His eyes landed on Ye Jiao as he could see the tranquility and calm that was not suitable to her age on her youthful face. It was as if she could ignore those stares and accusing glance without batting an eyelid, something extremely remarkable for a young girl.

"She reminds me of Qin Zheng," Elder Xin suddenly remarked. "A young girl who matures too fast for her age. It's truly a wonder that those youngsters can become mature even though their age suggests that they're still young brats."

"There are many youngsters like that because of their childhood condition," Elder Qian chuckled. "However, I have to agree that this girl must have her own special condition. Even if the others are unwilling to take her, I want her to be part of the Hua Shan Academy."

"Then you have to make sure you give her a good offer," Elder Xin propped her chin with an alluring smile on her face. "Because if you don't, I'll be the one to take her away along with that young man."

"I see that you also take an interest in her, but I'm not going to back down."

"May the best win."



Ye Jiao didn't know that she was the topic of conversation between the elders. She was just looking at the result calmly. Even though she herself knew that she must have some kind of talent because she only absorbed the specified color of Eon Energy, it might not be included in them.

Probably, she had a special condition that was unknown.

Whatever it would be, she would not give up so easily.

At that moment, a burst of laughter suddenly filled the area, which attracted the attention of many. "See, as I thought, a trash like her will always be trash!"

They all turned their head around as they could see a young girl around the same age as Ye Jiao was laughing loudly. There were a lot of people in that place that were not participants of the examination, so it was not weird to see people come out of the city to see the result.

However, this was the first time they saw someone so brazen as to mock Ye Jiao directly.

Even though some of them also felt elated, they would not show it on their face. All in all, she was still a respectable Eon Energy Master Rank 3 with S talent. Even though she might not be able to advance too fast in the future, it would still be much faster compared to some of them. After all, the difference between S talent and other talents was awfully large.

"How dare she…!" Han Fu was about to threaten that girl when he saw a small hand blocking his way. His face was filled with bewilderment as he looked at Ye Jiao, who was calmly facing them all. "Ye Jiao, she…?"

"There's no need to be so angry." Ye Jiao chuckled. Her eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness. "Why should you waste your time with a random ordinary stranger?"

Hearing her words, Han Fu came to realize that the young girl that mocked her was not even Eon Energy Master. She was just a lowly kid with nothing on her back but empty authority. Mocking her like that, shouldn't she feel shameful?

"Right, even without you doing anything, the others won't just let her off."

"Even if they didn't do anything, I don't believe that she won't be the hot potatoes," Qi Huan chuckled on the side. His eyes clearly held a hint of maliciousness for a split second.

"Wei Mi, what are you talking about?" Wei Cheng hurriedly tried to stop his sister from making things worse. If words came out that they mocked someone with S talent, it wouldn't reflect well on their side.

Wei Mi turned to look at her brother disapprovingly. "Brother, that's the truth! She's always been a trash and will…"

Slap!
