Caroline slightly moved her body and reached the Talent Stela instantly.
She stretched out her slender hand, and it gave out a great amount of evil energy that whistled and swirled around her body.
Bang!
Her evil energy created a massive palm and hit the stela in full force.
"She ranked first!"
Austin was overjoyed with the result.
Everyone in the square was amazed. They did not expect that the woman from the evil shadow race was very talented.
The selection was about to end as most of the participants had finished taking the test.
Caroline was now considered as an exceptional genius in cultivation since she ranked first in the test.
The four old men who stood beside the Talent Stela looked at each other and slightly nodded as they acknowledged Caroline's
talent.
Caroline immediately went back to Austin's side.
Many young male cultivators in the square were very jealous of Austin as they looked at Caroline standing on his side.
Caroline was a very stunning woman. Her great talent in cultivation that she showed a while ago added to her charms. It was not
surprising that a lot of young male cultivators would be attracted to her.
However, they knew that they didn't stand a chance with Caroline because she was already in a relationship with Austin.
"Ha-ha! Good job! Caroline. You're incredible,"
Austin said to Caroline.
"Oh, no! So now I only ranked second,"
Violet said with a pout.
"But since you are now my master's wife to be, | will not get mad at you,"
Violet naughtily whispered to Caroline.
"What are you talking about, Missy?"
Caroline playfully stretched out her hand and tried to pinch Violet's soft waist.
Violet giggled and dodged it immediately.
There was another good-looking girl that made her way to the stela.
"I'm Belle Xiao," she said in front of the Talent Stela.
The woman was Belle.
'l think she will have a high rank since she is very talented and has the Crystal Moonlight Body, *
Austin speculated.
Belle immediately hit the stela with her palm.

"She ranked second!"
Austin said in a low voice.
‘Belle is talented. She also has the rare Crystal Moonlight Body, so it's no wonder that she ranked second, ' he thought.
The rest of the young cultivators went to the stela and took their test.
Finally, the selection was about to end. There were only a few remaining cultivators who still hadn't taken their test.
Caroline remained first in the ranking, while Violet dropped to the fifth place, and the gndropped to seventh place.
Stacy ranked tenth and the Peacock Princess ranked thirteenth.
Bray, Rahul and Zoe ranked twentieth or lower.
Since they all ranked in the top 400, they would surely be admitted to the four martial arts schools.
Austin felt happy for them.
‘They will have a more promising future once they enter any of the four martial arts school.
Aside from that, we could often see each other while we are in the Middle Pilgrim Land, ' he thought.
"Master, what are you waiting for?
Go and take the test now.
Hurry! The selection is about to end,"
Violet urged Austin.
"She is right. Why don't you give it a try? Go ahead and take the test,"
Caroline said to Austin.
"Okay, | will go and give it a try."
Austin nodded and started to walk slowly towards the stela.
The whole square suddenly turned quiet.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Austin.
All the people in the square knew him.
In the past few years, Austin had been the focus of everyone's attention in the East Mainland.
The incident at the headquarters of the FlHoly that happened not long ago made Austin even more famous.
He defeated the Holy Son of the Unworldly Sect in the Middle Pilgrim Land and Henry—a first-level student of the White Tiger
School. This made him the most powerful young cultivator in the East Mainland.
There was no young cultivator in the whole East Mainland who would dare to claim that he could match Austin.
Now that a powerful young man was about to take the test, it was not surprising that he attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone in the square, including Austin's enemies, friends, and even those who had nothing to do with him, were all curious to
know on how talented he was since he was known for his power in the East Mainland.
The four old men who stood beside the stela narrowed their eyes as they watched Austin approaching.
"Is this young man Austin Lin who is also a candidate for the Protector?"
one of the old men asked the three other elders through his spiritual sense.
"I guess it's him.
They said that Master Kevin personally appointed him,"
another old man answered.
"Let's check his talent.
He still needs to prove himself even though Master Kevin personally appointed him.
For him to qualify as a Protector, he must be a talented and strong cultivator.
Otherwise, he will just be killed,"
the third old man said.
"You have a good point. Let's just check his talent first."
The other three elders nodded in agreement.
Austin went to the Talent Stela and stated his name.
After his introduction, he directly swung at the stela without using any of his skills.
Bang!
Austin's fist hit the stela.
A deafening sound surrounded the square, and the stela that was a thousand meters high shook tically.
Then the whole area becsilent.
Austin's ndidn't appear in the ranking on the stela.
"What's going on?"
"Why is his ranking didn't show in the stela?"
"Austin should rank first because he is the most powerful young man in the East Mainland. How chis ndidn't show up in
the stela?"
The cultivators in the square were all very curious. They couldn't help but whisper about the unexpected result.
"l see.
| think the Talent Stela was designed to rank a cultivator by his talent and potential and not by his current strength.
The fact that his ndidn't appear on the stela means that he is not a talented cultivator. His future in martial arts is quite bleak.
That's why the Talent Stela didn't show his ranking.
Just because the cultivator's current combat power is very strong doesn't mean that he is talented or he will make great
achievements in the future,"
someone said in a low voice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You have a point.
It's just normal for the Talent Stela not to show Austin's ranking if he is less talented and promising compared to other cultivators."
Everyone now understood why Austin's ndidn't appear on the stela.
"Austin is so powerful. Who would have thought that his talent and future development potential in martial arts will be this poor?
It's unbelievable."
Someone immediately shook his head.
"Ha-ha!
| can't believe it."
"I'm so happy today."
"So it turns out that he is not talented in martial arts at all. Even though he is a bit stronger now, it still doesn't mean anything.
His future in martial arts is doomed.
He is now nothing but a trash!"
All those members of the three holy lands, the three noble clans, and other sects that had issues with Austin burst into laughter.
The group of people that stood next to Austin couldn't believe what they saw. They were all dumbfounded with the result of the
stela.
"No way!
Over the years, | have witnessed how my master becstronger through his hard work. I'm very sure that my master is
absolutely a genius in martial arts. There must be something wrong with that Talent Stela,"
Violet shouted.
Caroline, the gnome, and the other people who were close to Austin also found the result of the Talent Stela unbelievable.
At this point, there was an invisible old man above the square who had a shocked look all over his face.
"Did | see things clearly?
| can't believe that this young man is such a talent.
Will he be another exceptional genius in our Divine Continent?"
The old man's gaze pierced through the void and fixed on Austin. He was amazed by Austin's talent, and his heart was jumping
with joy.
