316 Who’s the Genius? 5

The man before her also looked surprised. However, his reaction was not as bad as the others.

"Excuse me, is your surname Ye?"

"Yes."

The man frowned. From what he knew, there shouldn't be any family with the Ye surname in the Four Kingdoms. Perhaps, it was the time for him to check it out with the higher ups once again.

"May I ask where your parents are?"

Her parents?

Ye Jiao's eyes flashed with ruthlessness for a split second. "They're dead, murdered by people who're envious for their talent."

At this moment, Cao Ren and Qi Huan turned their heads to look at Chen Zi Quan. Even though other people found the Ye surname to be strange, they didn't have the same thought. After all, they still remembered the name of the most famous genius from the Chen Kingdom that their parents often mentioned.

Ye Xiao!

No one would be able to forget the name of the genius who shook the Four Kingdoms back then. They might be only a brat or even not yet born at that time, but their parents often told them the story of Ye Xiao's mightiness.

"I don't know anything," Chen Zi Quan said coldly.

Neither one of them believed it, but they also didn't try to pry deeper. Qi Huan pursed his lips as he knew how stubborn Ye Jiao could be. She must have inherited that trait from her father since Ye Xiao was known to be extremely stubborn.

The man looked at Ye Jiao with a little anticipation. There would only be one of those talents like Ye Jiao in the examination each year or even none. Those who have the same talent as this little girl were so rare that even finding 1 among 1 million of people across the numerous areas would be a great thing.

"P-please extend your hand."

Ye Jiao put her hand in front of her and the man slowly grabbed her wrist. She could sense Eon Energy coming from the man's palm. It was warm yet at the same time, she knew that it was inspecting her.

Astonishment appeared on the man's face. He could sense that the girl in front of him is indeed Eon Energy Master Rank 3. Not only that, the age was truly 11 years old 8 months. In that moment, he could feel that there was a sense of excitement boiling in his heart.

Talent S!

She must have that talent in order to reach Eon Energy Master Rank 3 so early. This was the first time in his life that he encountered a genius like this.

"How long do you plan to grab my wrist?" Ye Jiao asked in confusion. She no longer felt any Eon Energy, so it should have been finished, no?

The people who were crowding gasped when they saw the plate.

"Black token!"

"What?"

"Are you serious?"

"T-that's impossible!"

"How can it be?"

"Who's she?"

As the crowd exploded in surprise, Qi Huan's eyes widened in surprise. He had guessed that Ye Jiao's talent must be big, but didn't expect that she would get that token. Those who knew its true value would know how much that one token would worth.

'She's even better than me.'

Internally, Qi Huan chuckled a bit as fire of competitiveness flashed within his eyes. After he had gained the inheritance from the Emperor of Water, he came to understand that his position was far higher than many ordinary people. It would be impossible for them to compare to those from the emperor's lineage.

They were destined to reach the peak because of the inheritance they got.

Qi Huan's fingers clenched into a fist. He knew that his talent was still a bit away from the best talent. However, he also wanted to be the best and eventually reached the peak. But now, his talent was only slightly better than average.

After all, the academies prioritized those who were only at an early stage. They couldn't determine the exact time when he reached rank 3, so they couldn't give him the black token.

Lu Wan frowned. He didn't understand much about the difference between the tokens. "What's black token?"

"It's the token that can allow you to have the possibility to be accepted as an Elite Disciple immediately. Elite Disciple is a special ranked of disciples above Core Disciple who received special treatment with more freedom," Cao Ren replied. "This token is known to be given only to those who have talent above purple color."

Above purple color?

Both Qi Huan and Lu Wan knew that Ye Jiao had talent above purple color because their master had told them in the past. Who would have thought that this talent would receive the envy of so many people?

"Those who have talent above purple color shouldn't be able to be detected, right?" Chen Zi Quan's eyes narrowed dangerously. Damn it! His father told him that Ye Xiao's daughter was nothing but trash. But now, the one who stood in front of them was in no way a trash. She's a true genius!

If she is a trash, every single one of them would be worse than trash!

Far worse than trash!

"Yes," Cao Ren nodded. "I don't know the details, but it seems that they need some special device to be measured."

"Four Kingdoms didn't have the device. At least, as far as the Chi Kingdom concerned, there's no way we can measure that talent."

"Neither do Cao Kingdom."

Chen Zi Quan gritted his teeth. "Neither does Chen Kingdom."

As for Barbarian Kingdom, they didn't care in the slightest bit. Those who were from the Barbarian Kingdom usually had lower talent, so they didn't really care about it.

Qi Huan looked at Ye Jiao as he shook his head lightly. Other people might not know about it now, but he had heard about how the device was broken when Ye Jiao tested herself. That broken stone was the one that marked the birth of an outstanding genius who would distinguish herself from the mass.

How fortunate it was that no one in Chen Kingdom knew her value.

"Thank you," Ye Jiao accepted the token. It was light and as she poured her Eon Energy, she could sense deep connection with the plate. It was as if the plate had become part of herself.

The man smiled brightly. "It's my honor to be able to meet with you, Miss Ye Jiao."

Ye Jiao just pursed her lips. She herself knew that she was not the only one with this kind of talent. Her master had told her that even if it was extremely rare in this kingdom for someone at her talent to appear, there were numerous in the kingdom where Bao Fu Organization main headquarters was located. She must not feel that it was enough for her as her future is still long.

"May I know what your talent was when you got tested back then?"

"I got none," Ye Jiao replied. "The stone didn't light up."

The man nodded in understanding. Now he had confirmed that this little lass was truly someone who has S talent. People from these secluded locations would never understand their true value, thus many of these talented people were late to be born.

"That's not none. Your talent is S, the highest talent there is. It's even above A talent," the man chuckled. "Good luck, Miss Ye Jiao."

"Thank you."

Ye Jiao kept her token as she walked to the gate. Numerous pairs of eyes were looking in her direction, wanting to know her more. However, she ignored them directly. Upon arriving near the gate, she could see Chen Zi Quan and the Wei Family were looking at her with hatred and concealed regret.

She sneered internally.

"Congratulations," Cao Ren congratulated Ye Jiao. He smiled warmly. "I never know there's someone with this much potential among the people who came."

"Thank you, Prince Cao Ren," Ye Jiao replied politely but still kept her distance. She looked over to Chen Zi Quan, who seemed to be smiling yet not.

"Congratulations."

"Thank you."

Wei Cheng also looked at Ye Jiao, but he didn't say anything. Right now, his mind was in chaos. He just couldn't connect the image of the useless girl that they always bullied with the one standing in front of them. She was basked in a brilliant light, the envy of so many people.

Ye Jiao noticed his gaze. She spoke up, "Do you regret not killing me back then?"
