Chapter 614 Superb Talent
The old man's words on the stage caused an uproar among the people present. They were the pride of their respective countries, enjoying extremely generous treatment, but here they were being subjected to a test.
"We will not accept this kind of test!"
"Yes, we are here to learn knowledge, so why do we need to take tests of different levels?"
"If that's the case, it's better not to come at all."
Many people spoke up in discussion, clearly dissatisfied with the dean's words.
"Hehe, why did you come here? It's because this is the place that everyone in the entire Confucian and Taoist continent aspires to be. Your literary rank is of no use here."
"On the contrary, we can teach you knowledge and skills, and also help you to fully realize your potential."
The dean wasn't angry; on the contrary, he just smiled and said...
Ye Ru looked at this scene, but unlike the other scholars, he simply looked at the old man. Since it was the Mountain of Saints, they must have their own methods.
"How would you gentlemen like to conduct this test?"
After everyone quieted down, Ye Ru raised his head and spoke slowly.
"That's simple. All you need to do is stand on this testing platform to take the test."
The old man spoke slowly, a smile appearing on his face.
"Now, according to the order of the numbers, whoever we call can come here to participate in the test."
A gentleman stepped forward, holding a roster in his hand, and then said, "The first one is Liu Shaogong."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young scholar stepped forward and stood on the stage. Then the test began.
As his palm touched the text-testing stone, a powerful force suddenly shot up into the sky, eventually stopping after traveling three zhang (approximately 10 meters).
"Three zhang of talent?"
Many people who saw this scene started discussing it, their eyes filled with surprise.
"Talent at three zhang, intermediate level."
The gentleman spoke slowly.
"Three zhang of talent and only intermediate level? Are you kidding me?"
A man who seemed to have a connection with the scholar stared wide-eyed and said in disbelief.
"What? Three zhang of talent means nothing here."
The man shrugged and said dismissively.
"Next up, Du Chong."
This time, an old man came up. He held a cane, and when his withered hand touched the testing stone, an extremely powerful light immediately emerged.
This time, he brought with him a talent that was four zhang tall.
"Talent at four zhang, intermediate level."
The gentleman nodded in satisfaction.
"Next up, Wu Ding."
After speaking, a young man with a somewhat arrogant expression walked up and touched the testing platform with his palm. After a brief pause, a beam of light suddenly burst out.
The light was extremely dazzling, reaching a height of five zhang!
"A talent of five zhang (approximately 10 meters) is of a high level."
Wu Ding withdrew his hand, glanced at the people below with a hint of disdain on his face, and then slowly walked down.
"It's actually high-level, that's amazing."
"Yes, such high-level talent, simply amazing."
Many people felt uncomfortable seeing the disdain on Wu Ding's face, but others clicked their tongues in admiration, and the deans exchanged glances, all seeing amusement in each other's eyes.
After all, the more talented people there are, the greater the benefits to their human race.
Moreover, they knew that this matter was of great importance, since the start of the holy war required the consolidation of strength.
……
After many people tested it, it was finally Ye Ru's turn.
"Ye Ru".
Upon hearing the man call his name, Ye Ru walked step by step onto the stage.
The name sounded familiar to many people present, but they couldn't quite place who it was.
"Could this Ye Ru be the same Ye Ru, the chief scholar from the Yanhuang Kingdom?"
One of them looked at Ye Ru and guessed.
"No way, shouldn't Ye Ru be in Yanhuang Kingdom right now?"
"It might really be him. I wonder what kind of talent he can detect. It's something to look forward to."
"If the test result is low-level, it will be a huge embarrassment. At the very least, when we get back, our reputation will plummet."
Many people watched with schadenfreude.
Ye Ru ignored those words and walked onto the stage on his own, finally gently touching the testing table with his palm.
However, the testing stone did not exhibit any unusual behavior.
This scene left everyone puzzled and confused.
"What's going on? Is the testing station broken?"
A gentleman looked at the dean and said.
"It can't possibly break."
The dean shook his head:
"If there is no light, then it only means one problem..."
"wrong!"
Before the dean could finish speaking, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the testing platform. This light was even more dazzling than the light emitted by the scholars who had been tested before, and it even shot straight into the sky as soon as it appeared!
"This...this is immeasurable."
The man looked at the light soaring into the sky and panicked for a moment.
"This is actually..."
The deans also stood up in surprise; in their view, the sheer power of this talent had exceeded their expectations.
"Yes, this is a top-tier talent..."
Another dean swallowed hard, a look of shock on his face.
"A superior talent? It seems that such a talent has never appeared in our Holy Mountain before."
The gentleman was also shocked by what the deans had said, and then asked a question.
"Never has ever existed, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Confucius founded the Mountain of Sages, and he possessed a superior talent."
Taking a deep breath, the dean spoke with a solemn expression.
"Wouldn't this young man have the potential to become the second Sage Confucius?"
The tester's pupils constricted instantly, his face filled with utter shock.
Since Confucius, no one has been able to become the Supreme Sage and Teacher, which has led to the repeated weakening of the human race's power. Now, there is someone who has the potential to become the second Supreme Sage and Teacher, which is a very happy thing for them.
"Yes, if one studies diligently and comprehends the sacred way, perhaps that method can be used to recreate a supreme sage teacher."
After letting out a long sigh, the deans exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of caution in the other's eyes.
"May I leave now?"
At this moment, Ye Ru suddenly spoke up.
"That's good, Ye Ru, top-grade talent!"
The tester read aloud with great excitement, and what he said caused another uproar.
"Superior talent? Even more powerful than advanced talent? How is that possible!"
"This really is Ye Ru from the Yanhuang Kingdom. I saw him at the literary gathering in Jin Kingdom. I never imagined that he was just a Xiucai back then, but now he has become a Juren."
"So it really is him. No wonder he is so talented. I am so ashamed."
"Haha, don't underestimate yourself. If you study hard, even if you don't achieve the same level of success as Ye Anshou, you can probably still gain a foothold in this Confucian continent. So study hard."
Many scholars sighed with envy on their faces.
After Ye Ru finished his test, although many talented individuals came after him, none of them were able to surpass Ye Ru's achievements.
Therefore, although it was lively, it wasn't as bustling as before after the testing was completed.
"Alright, now there are fifty-two people with basic talent, seventy-eight people with intermediate talent, and thirty-nine people with advanced talent."
"And there is one person with exceptional talent, and that is Ye Ru."
After the test was completed, the tester summarized all the test results and reports, and read them aloud from the high platform.
"Let those with basic talent enter the academy first. Their foundation is not solid, so they need to study more classic texts."
The dean whispered something to the testing man.
"Yes."
The inspector nodded and then let the person with the rudimentary talent leave. They were then transported away through a teleportation portal.
"Now we will proceed with the second test, the talent test. Each person will write a poem, and we will rank them according to the quality of the poems."
With a wave of his sleeve, the inspector conjured up countless tables in front of everyone.
"The topic is up to you, as long as it is a poem. After you finish writing, put the Xuan paper in front of the stone table. The stone table will judge the quality of your poem and give you a verdict."
The dean, who was in charge, continued to speak with a smile.
"Whatever..."
Ye Ru pondered for a moment, then began to write. Wu Ding looked at Ye Ru, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes.
Without Ye Ru, he would probably be one of the few shining stars, but once Ye Ru appeared, he was like the sun, completely overshadowing the brilliance of everyone else.
"I must beat you in this talent test!"
With a hint of resentment in his heart, Wu Ding also began to write.
Ye Ru took up his pen and wrote a poem on the paper:
"The Golden Robe"
"I advise you not to cherish your golden clothes, but to cherish your youth."
“Flowers are ready to be broken when they bloom, but don’t wait to break branches when there are no flowers left.”
After a brief period of writing, everyone put down their pens and placed them on the stone table.
After a brief silence, the stone table suddenly erupted, transforming into countless beams of light that shot towards the sky.
Among all these lights, the brilliance of Ye Ru's poem shone like the moon surrounded by stars, making it exceptionally dazzling. Even Wu Ding's and the others' poems paled in comparison.
This scene caused everyone to look up at the sky, their faces filled with awe.
"They are both top-tier talents."
The deans were even more shocked; if they hadn't been in public, they probably would have burst out laughing.
After all, this is the person with the best chance of becoming the Sage Confucius.
Once someone in the human race reaches the level of a Supreme Sage, the overall strength of the human race will once again reach a terrifying height.
It's even possible that there will be a second Hundred Schools of Thought!
