Chapter 88 - How Could That Be Me? (1/2)
The geniuses on the Darkness Altar all had black fog—which seeped into their bodies—rising from beneath their feet.
Meanwhile, Ji Yuantong regained consciousness. Ji Yuantong’s gaze swept around him. Only nine people have been eliminated? His heart sank. I’m ranked 92nd out of a hundred people?
How proud was he?
He had been supercilious towards his peers since he was young. He couldn’t care less about his siblings. His family clan also nurtured him with all their might, hoping that the Ji family would produce another powerful G.o.dfiend.
He had regarded Meng Chuan as his only compet.i.tor in Archean Mountain’s entrance examination. However, he was ranked near the bottom for the final a.s.sessment.
Their wills are all stronger than mine? Ji Yuantong looked at the geniuses above him. Many of them had never consumed natural treasures before. He had thought nothing of them in the past, but these geniuses were slowly advancing step by step. As for him, he had already been eliminated.
…
Ji Yuantong’s potential needs to be greatly reconsidered. I hope there won’t be any accidents with the others that have strong G.o.dfiend foundations. This was a common thought shared by many G.o.dfiends.
Archean Mountain valued G.o.dfiends with strong foundations, high cultivation realms, and good combat talent. They hoped that the geniuses wouldn’t be lacking when it came to willpower.
One after another, geniuses collapsed as they ascended the altar.
“Hahaha…”
The G.o.dfiends suddenly laughed. This was because among these geniuses, the youngest genius—Yan Chitong—had stopped at the 22nd step. His eyes had also turned pitch-black. King East River smiled as he moved Yan Chitong down.
“Marquis West Sea, your son is not bad.”
“That’s right. To be able to reach the 22nd step of the Darkness Altar at the age of thirteen is already very impressive.”
“His mind is still maturing. He’s very outstanding for reaching the 22nd step,” commented the G.o.dfiends while smiling.
Yan Chitong was still a teenager. However, Ji Yuantong was already an adult. An adult’s mind was typically mature, but he only reached the seventeenth step. This truly broke the hearts of many G.o.dfiends.
I actually lost. Yan Chitong returned to his senses as well. He couldn’t help but clench his fists indignantly as he stared at the geniuses still on the Darkness Altar. However, when his gaze landed on Ji Yuantong, he grinned.
…
The 30th step was Archean Mountain’s minimum requirement for their future G.o.dfiends. Fortunately, the other geniuses—who they thought highly of—with strong G.o.dfiend foundations had all achieved the minimum requirement. Among 100 geniuses, 26 had failed to reach the 30th step.
“Huh?”
“Chu Yong also stopped?”
The G.o.dfiends frowned slightly.
The former number one genius of the capital, Chu Yong, stopped at the 38th step. His eyes turned pitch-black, and he stood still like a statue. Although he had pa.s.sed the demarcating line, his result of 38 steps was very mediocre. It was below average amongst the 100 geniuses.
But following that, Princess Li Ying and Jin Huan—whose speed was second only to Meng Chuan—stopped at the 39th step.
“What?”
“The three of them stopped in succession.”
King East River and the others frowned slightly. Other than Yan Chitong, those with robust G.o.dfiend foundations numbered ten. They were none other than Chu Yong, Yan Feng, Meng Chuan, Yan Jin, Zong Sha, Li Ying, Jin Huan, Ning Yibo, Dong Fang, and Ji Yuantong. Apart from Yan Feng having a fortuitous encounter, the rest were specially nurtured by their family clans.
Their cultivation realms and G.o.dfiend foundations were extremely profound. Ji Yuantong had broken many people’s hearts after halting on the 17th step. Chu Yon had stopped at the 37th, while Li Ying and Jin Huan had stopped at the 39th step. Their results were below average. Soon, the brawny Dong Fang stopped at the 43rd step. He was considered average, ranking fiftieth.
