Chapter 180: Endless Sword Sect Disciple Recruitment Assessment (Part 8)

Meanwhile…

At this moment, amidst the occasional sighs and sparse gasps coming from beneath the talent testing monument…

A few breaths later…

Zhang Dansan watched the person in front of him walk away dejectedly with their grade-three talent.

Zhang Dansan took a deep breath and stepped forward amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd!

Seeing that it was Zhang Dansan's turn to test his talent, the Elders on the viewing platform leaned in one after another, wanting to see what the talent of this Heaven-Defying Cultivator from the first trial was truly like.

At this moment, some Elders watched as Zhang Dansan stepped onto the talent testing platform and arrived before the talent testing monument.

One of them guessed, "Based on this kid's performance in the first trial, in my opinion, his talent should be grade eight or above!

Even grade nine is not impossible!"

"I think so too!

Perhaps if this kid puts in a little effort, he will directly hit us with a grade nine!

No, maybe even grade ten!"

"Hahaha!

Never mind grade ten!

If this kid can reach grade-nine talent, we won't even need to fight for the Core Disciple quotas!

We can just give it directly to this kid!

With grade-nine talent, what is there to fight for?

Without a doubt, a Core Disciple!

Hahaha!"

"I hope so!

If this kid really can have grade-nine talent, maybe we can even rely on this to be promoted to inner court Elders!"

As they spoke, the Elders became excited one after another, staring fixedly at Zhang Dansan without blinking. After all, Zhang Dansan was tied to whether they could be promoted to the inner court!

At this moment, feeling the gazes staring closely at him from all around, Zhang Dansan took a slightly nervous, long breath…

Afterwards, Zhang Dansan looked at the talent testing monument before him and slowly placed his hand on it!

As a ray of light emanated from Zhang Dansan's hand…

In an instant, ripples spread across the talent testing monument…

Then the talent testing monument became completely calm…

Seeing this scene, the crowd froze, and suspicious voices rang out from the surroundings, "What is going on?

Could it be that the talent testing monument is broken?"

"What kind of joke are you making? How many years has the talent testing monument been here!

We've never heard of the talent testing monument ever breaking down!"

"Then what is going on right now?"

"I suspect…

Could it be because that person actually has no talent at all?

The commotion that happened in the first trial was just him using a blinding trick!"

"Hiss~"

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Zhang Dansan couldn't help thinking to himself, "No way! I clearly have talent!

Is this talent testing monument fake?!"

Just as the Elders on the platform also began to doubt Zhang Dansan…

Suddenly!!!

Boom!!!!

Accompanied by a loud crash, blinding light lit up on the talent testing monument!

Waves of golden light shrouded the entire talent testing monument!

The golden light turned into flowing light, replacing the ordinary white light!

The golden light continuously lit up on the talent testing monument!

A few breaths later…

Five streaks of golden light abruptly appeared on the talent testing monument!

At this moment, the Elders on the platform froze!

Even with all their years in the Endless Sword Sect, when had they ever seen such a scene?

The Elders looked at each other, staring at the five streaks of golden light on the talent testing monument, unable to make head or tail of it…

Just when the Elders didn't know what kind of situation this was…

A figure appeared behind them, and upon seeing this, the Elders cupped their fists and said, "Greetings, Fifth Elder!"

At this moment, the Fifth Elder of the Endless Sword Sect ignored the surrounding outer court Elders.

He looked at the five streaks of golden light on the talent testing monument and said with slightly trembling hands, "Sure enough!

It is indeed this aura!

King Rank!

King Rank talent!

And it's even grade-five King Rank!

The Sect Master is only at grade-two King Rank!

This kid… this kid… this kid's talent is even stronger than the Sect Master's!"

Looking at Zhang Dansan below, before anyone could react, the Daoist flew down.

He flew in front of Zhang Dansan.

Looking at the Daoist before him, Zhang Dansan swallowed hard and said faintly, "Wh… what's wrong?

Is… is this grade-five talent of mine?

I have already passed the second trial!

Didn't the second trial say that as long as it's grade-three talent or above, it's fine?

I passed!

Could it be that you want to chase me away?"

Looking at Zhang Dansan before him, the Daoist grabbed Zhang Dansan's hand excitedly and said, "Little friend!

Don't be anxious!

This is not ordinary grade-five talent!

You are grade-five King Rank!"

"King Rank? Grade five?

Is there any difference?"

Zhang Dansan listened to the Daoist's words and asked doubtfully.

The Daoist explained patiently with an excited tone, "Huge!

The difference is huge!

This is grade-five King Rank!

Although talent normally ranges from grade one to grade ten…

But above that, there is still King Rank, Saint Rank, and Immortal Rank!

There's no need to ask about Saint Rank and Immortal Rank; they are simply not existences that can appear in our Lingxian Realm.

And King Rank is already the limit of the Lingxian Realm!

I'll mention one person and you'll understand!

The Sect Master of our Endless Sword Sect, the Endless Sword Immortal!

The Sect Master's talent is only grade-two King Rank!

Do you understand?

Do you understand what your grade-five King Rank represents?"

Listening to the Daoist's words, Zhang Dansan nodded thoughtfully before asking, "So with my grade-five King Rank talent, I should count as having passed the second trial, right!"
