The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1608 - 1609: Potential Assessment

Ling Shan’s appearance caused quite a stir at the venue. Whether it was her identity as a special recruit or her looks, she was destined to become the center of attention.

"It seems Ling Shan also wants to see which geniuses appear this year, but with Xuanyuan Ze, Lin Yonghao, and Long Tianxiao might have to step aside."

"That’s right, both Lin Yonghao and Long Tianxiao are pursuing Ling Shan, naturally wanting to show off in front of her, but now with Xuanyuan Ze, their brilliance is overshadowed."

"I heard that Xuanyuan Ze has already proposed to Ling Shan, and she has agreed."

"I have heard about this as well. Although Ling Shan is the City Lord’s daughter, Immortal Spirit City is considered an insignificant city in the Fengling Dynasty. Being able to connect with Xuanyuan Ze will surely boost their status rapidly."

"But Xuanyuan Ze may not easily possess Ling Shan. Once they enter the Immortal Martial Academy, being the Second Prince won’t help him much. In the Earth Tier, some top-tier genius students have explicitly said they would pursue Ling Shan. Even if she is Xuanyuan’s fiancee, with their tactics, they may take Ling Shan away."

The crowd began whispering among themselves, especially Xuanyuan Ze, who cast a playful look at Ling Shan.

Once the venue quieted again, the white-bearded elder spoke once more, "Being able to enter the Immortal Martial Academy, your future prospects are unlimited, and later you will become the dynasty’s strong force. However, in the Earth Tier, there are countless students like you, more than you can imagine, and at the Tianwu Academy, countless students are eliminated every year."

"Therefore, in the Immortal Martial Academy, strength is not the most important. Even if you are an Immortal Class Realm martial artist, without any improvement at the Immortal Martial Academy, you will still be eliminated."

All the martial artists around listened carefully to the white-bearded elder, focusing intently, because they were about to enter the Immortal Martial Academy. Surviving in such a brutal environment to make a name for oneself was crucial. No one wanted to be anonymous after entering the academy."

"So, strength is not the most important in the Immortal Martial Academy. Talent and diligence are what the academy values the most. Only with enough talent can you go further on the martial arts path."

Upon hearing this, many martial artists realized that talent is essential in the Immortal Martial Academy. With talent, you can go further. Without it, no matter how diligent you are, you may stop at the Immortal Class Realm or Immortal Profound Realm.

In the crowd, two men smiled; they were the two great geniuses of Immortal Spirit City, Lin Yonghao and Long Tianxiao.

Ling Shan, standing aside, frowned her willow-leaf eyebrows into a line. Her gaze fell on Ye Mo. Seeing his expression remain steady, she let out a sigh of relief, thinking Ye Mo must have some confidence in his talent.

"This registration assessment has four thousand five hundred and ten individuals reaching Immortal Position Realm, all under a thousand years old. This potential assessment will test your Martial Dao Realm, Will Index, and age, scored by credits to evaluate your results. The total score for Martial Dao Realm is 50 points, total Will Index is 50 points, and age is the potential coefficient. Adding the scores for Martial Dao Realm and Will Index multiplied by the potential coefficient is your total score for this potential test."

This is easily understood, like if someone scores 50 in Martial Dao Realm and 50 in Will Index, with a potential coefficient of 1, the total score would be 100.

Age is the most crucial factor in determining talent this time.

For example, if you cultivated to Immortal Position Realm in 500 years, while someone else did it in just 100 years, their cultivation speed is five times yours, and their potential is naturally more terrifying.

"I am not sure about their specific scoring standard."

Ye Mo also pondered silently. Once the scoring standard is confirmed, everyone would pretty much know their score without measuring.

"As that’s the case, let’s begin the assessment according to the registration order, one by one."

The white-bearded elder refrained from further words, announcing the start of the potential test.

As soon as the white-bearded elder finished speaking, the martial artist in the first position slowly walked to the plaza, reported his name, and placed his arm on the Crystal Ball.

Instantly, the array within the Crystal Ball began to operate, wrapping streams of energy around his body. Instantly, three sets of data appeared on the Crystal Ball.

Martial Arts Cultivation: Lower-Ranked Immortal, mastered Water Law.

Will Index: 130.

Age: 890 years.

The Crystal Ball was indeed peculiar, or rather, the array arranged with Immortal Talismans was miraculous. Once enveloped by the array, it could accurately analyze all of your strengths.

However, this was only when the martial artists had not restrained their aura. If the aura was restrained, it might affect the Crystal Ball’s test data.

"Attaining Immortal Class Realm is a full score of 50 points, Lower-Ranked Immortal is 10 points, a Will Index of 200 is a full score of 50, Will Index of 130 is 15 points, the age potential coefficient is at a maximum of 10, minimum of 1. From 0 to 100 years the potential coefficient is 10, and from 900 to 1000 years it is 1. At 890 years, it is 2, so your total score is 50 points."

After the white-bearded elder spoke, the martial artist’s face trembled and asked, "Master, what level is this total potential score of 50 points?"

"It’s barely passing. To be considered a true genius, you must reach 500 points. In past years, many geniuses have achieved a Potential Composite Score of even 700 points."

The white-bearded elder replied.

"500?"

The martial artist’s face also trembled, then he retreated dejectedly. This gap was indeed too vast.

"This guy’s talent is not low, yet he only scored 50 points. I wonder how many points Lin Yonghao and Long Tianxiao can get."

Everyone eagerly awaited the performance of these two.

"Next!"

As the white-bearded elder spoke, another martial artist stepped forward to begin the test.

Martial Dao Realm: Middle-Ranked Immortal, mastered Wood Law.

Will Index: 180.

Age: 930 years.

"Middle-Ranked Immortal, scored 20 points, Will Index 180, scored 40 points, aged 930, scored 1 point, total score is 60 points."

The white-bearded elder announced the result again.

The strength and cultivation of this martial artist were clearly stronger than the previous one, but due to age, the composite score was nearly halved to only 60 points.

The following tests did not produce any astounding scores, and those who could break the hundred mark were quite astonishing. Most people hovered between 50 and 100 points, and reaching above 100 barely counted as outstanding, while over 200 was considered impressive.

"Lin Yonghao is about to be tested. I wonder what his score will be."

Seeing Lin Yonghao approaching the Crystal Ball, all the martial artists from Immortal Spirit City held their breath, eagerly anticipating the test result. They were very curious about what the top genius in Immortal Spirit City could score as a Potential Composite Score.
