Chapter 74: Red Emerges, Shocking Ten Thousand!

For a moment, everyone's gaze converged on Su Yu.

Su Yu was seen slowly stepping forward, leisurely walking toward the square.

At this moment, only Su Yu remained who had not yet undergone the talent test.

"What talent could a modest Blood Refining Realm possibly have? Though he has surpassed the Holy Spear Marquis in some records, that doesn't guarantee his talent!"

"Indeed, in the era of the Holy Spear Marquis resources were extremely scarce, but now, as the Human Race steadily secures its footing among the myriad races, modern humans— even with the same talent—are far stronger than before."

"If I recall correctly, the original Holy Spear Marquis was tested to have a red talent; as long as that red talent doesn't fall, it can challenge the King‑Sealing tier."

"What does Su Yu have to compare with?"

Song Yun stood among the crowd from the Western Province, continuously mocking.

Wu Jie also said with a smile.

"Exactly. Even across all of Daxia, being tested with a red talent marks one as top‑tier; aside from the legendary golden talent, no Heavenly Pride has ever surpassed a red talent!"

"This Su Yu has reached the pinnacle, only a purple talent, and Senior Brother Yang Qi will inevitably vie for first place in this round!"

In their minds, Su Yu's previous performance, however it was, could not match Yang Qi's.

After all, they are from the Western Province.

Previously, Su Yu's golden talent detected in Hengcheng had been completely sealed off by Wang Long.

Except for that fleeing member of the Heavenly God Sect, no one knew.

And members of the Heavenly God Sect, of course, could not leak the news.

After all, once the upper echelons of the Human Race learn of a golden talent, acting against Su Yu becomes even more difficult.

Wang Long did report Su Yu's matter, but with the Slay Dragon King's interference, it was cut off directly.

Although he didn't know what the Slay Dragon King meant, Wang Long still complied.

After all, that person could even wrestle with the ceiling itself.

One person wiping out a whole clan— even the ceiling hasn't achieved that!

Thus, Su Yu's talent remains unknown to anyone up to now.

The only ones who know are Wang Long and a few Instructors of the Heavenly Pride Battalion.

Otherwise, Su Yu would have already been taken by the Martial Artists Association headquarters to Jingdu.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Su Yu slowly approached the stone.

Looking at the stone before him, Su Yu's mouth curled into a faint smile.

Previously in Hengcheng, the test also used this kind of stone, but the testing stone on the square was vastly larger than the one Bai Zhan brought back then.

Su Yu took a deep breath and slowly placed his palm onto the stone.

Immediately, a familiar suction rippled from within the stone.

Then Su Yu felt something inside his body being drawn into the testing stone.

The next moment, the testing stone erupted with green radiance!

The halo was so intense it illuminated the entire square.

Beside him, Song Yun sneered.

"What good is the brightness? In the end, it's still about the test color."

"At this level, blue shouldn't be a problem, but reaching purple is another matter!"

Song Yun showed no concealment of his jealousy.

He should know that Song Yun was only tested with a blue talent.

He was eliminated outright.

Naturally, he hoped Su Yu wouldn't reach the purple talent and would be eliminated.

However, barely half a minute after Song Yun finished speaking, the color on the stone changed again.

The brightness remained obvious, lighting the whole square, and faintly a subtle tremor could be felt.

Blue!

The blue halo spread out like an ocean.

Its intensity even surpassed everyone's.

When the testing stone burst with such intense blue light, Song Yun's complexion turned slightly sour.

He knew well that such a strong blue flash meant there was more to come!

And the next stage after blue is, of course, purple.

Once purple is reached, it means Su Yu can stay, and he must be eliminated.

Song Yun's face turned extremely sour, yet he forced a stubborn grin and sneered.

"Reaching purple only shows you've just crossed the passing line; if we talk about first place, it's still Senior Brother Yang Qi!"

Those around them nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, we all know the Heavenly Pride of Jiangnan Sheng; among this batch of newcomers, only Yang Xiao is an orange Heavenly Pride, and no one else has ever reached orange!"

"Su Yu's talent is probably just purple, merely the passing level!"

While the Western Province crowd debated, the testing stone suddenly erupted with intense purple radiance.

"Sure enough it's purple, but having reached purple, this stage is essentially over for Su Yu; after all, becoming an orange Heavenly Pride isn't that easy."

The Heavenly Pride of the Western Province continued their discussion.

Du Nian Guan quietly observed the testing stone; though uncertain whether Su Yu is an orange Heavenly Pride, reaching purple already says a lot.

Amid the discussion, the purple radiance on the stone gradually faded.

Song Yun's eyes lit up, "Is it over?"

Yet the next moment, an orange brilliance shot upward like a small sun, instantly flashing before everyone's eyes.

"How could it be! How could Su Yu have an orange talent!"

Song Yun let out a resentful roar.

His eyes widened enormously; it was truly hard to believe that Su Yu's talent had actually reached orange!

One must know that in Jiangnan Sheng, a province such as Xi Sheng, attaining an orange talent is extremely difficult.

Each year, the number of college entrance exam takers in a province exceeds several hundred thousand, even up to a million.

And those who can reach an orange talent number only one or two.

However, Su Yu's newly detected orange talent directly flashed and blinded their eyes.

"Impossible! It must be fake; how could he have an orange talent, how could he be like senior brother Yang Qi!"

Song Yun babbled incessantly as if gone mad.

Yet, just as Song Yun was debating, a faint glimmer entered everyone's sight.

Even Yang Qi was drawn by that faint glimmer.

Because within that testing stone, a vague red radiance suddenly appeared!

For a moment, everyone's pupils jolted, staring fixedly at the testing stone.

Red talent!
