Chapter 11 – The Nine-colored Halo (2)
“Why are you so excited? I bet the color will change to orange at most. If it becomes yellow, it’ll be a miracle.” One of the spectators interrupted. After all, the phenomenon he described was not unfamiliar for them, as it had happened many times throughout this ceremony. Whenever they had raised their expectations, they tended to end up disappointed
“Oh, you might be right. Now it changes to yellow.” The discussion went on. While Qingyu was engrossed with the halo, as two lines of warm tears streamed down her face. She was so thrilled to see the changes that were going on in the halo of her brother’s altar. Now, she was in a world of her own, disregarding the negative predictions of the others.
“My brother has finally made it!” Qingyu couldn’t conceal her happiness.
The four elders in the front row seemed rather calm, as they were chatting absent-mindedly, while sometimes they would take a sip of their tea. They were experienced elders, who controlled their expectations wisely.
“Oh? The color keeps changing. Now, it’s green. Who is in the middle altar? Hmmm, he must have some potential...”
As the halo changed its color from yellow to green, the spectators were once again reignited. Some of them started to inquire about the name of the descendant in the altar. After all, the green color represented a fourth-grade battle beast, which was already above average.
“What?! It’s still changing? Now it’s cyan! How is this possible?”
The middle altar grabbed most of the attention from the spectators, as some slight cyan beams were now shining within the halo. This time, the elders also widened their eyes, as they momentarily stopped sipping their tea.
“Let me check who is in the middle altar. He seems rather promising. Er… His name is Ye Qinghan. He is already fifteen years old! For this age, it’s really rare to have a cyan halo to appear. It seems he is probably a late bloomer.” Elder Tianqing thumbed through the manual and smiled in a delighted manner.
The moment when Elder Tianqing was about to pick up his cup of tea, the whole crowd suddenly bursted into a loud clamor.
“Ah, look, it’s still changing…”
“Oh, my God! Blue! Oh, no… Now it’s purple! It’s the same color young lord Qingfeng had.”
“Congratulations! Tonight we should hold a banquet to celebrate…”
Elder Tianqing could no longer stand quietly; he put aside his cup of tea and stood up. The other elders quickly followed suit. They all attentively stared at the middle altar, so as not to miss a single of the ongoing changes.
The green color gradually faded away, before a purple color took over. Looking from afar, the altar was like a purple egg that stood vertically in the middle of the hall.
“Gosh! It doesn’t stop…”
The spectators were on the verge of madness. They exclaimed and cheered.
“Be quiet, all of you! Otherwise, you’ll be punished by the family rules!”
A terrifying voice suddenly pierced through the air. The crowd abruptly shut their mouth out of fear.
The voice was Elder Tianqing’s, as he conveyed his voice with his mouth closed. Obviously, he had used an extraordinary technique.
Realizing that the middle altar might break the record of this ceremony, the four elders went closer to the “egg” and stood around it.
Now, the purple color disappeared bit by bit, as a black color emerged. At last, the halo turned out to be utterly black, as if there was black water floating around the surface of the altar.
The black halo! It was highly likely that the candidate in this altar would summon an eighth-grade battle beast, which would fall in the same ranking as that of the leader of the Ye Family!
Nevertheless!
To everyone’s astonishment, the halo kept on changing color after turning black!
