As for the others, naturally, they all regarded Wang Ruoxie as an ordinary person.
In their eyes, a sixteen-year-old with only the cultivation of the Fourth Layer of Energy-Introducing Realm must have extrely diocre aptitude and bloodline, and his Swordsmanship talent was probably not much better.
However, Ouyang Ling’s gaze towards Wang Ruoxie seed to have a hint of peculiarity.
Because he vaguely sensed an extrely special aura from Wang Ruoxie, though he couldn’t articulate what kind of aura it was.
This made him sowhat expectant, keen to see what kind of results this boy with the special aura would achieve.
At this mont, Wang Ruoxie had already arrived in front of the Inquiry Sword Stone.
"This Inquiry Sword Stone is indeed peculiar; it can detect a person’s Swordsmanship Talent. Could it differentiate everyone’s Swordsmanship Talent based on their Sword Sense?"
Wang Ruoxie pondered secretly, Sword Sense, indescribable yet truly existent.
For instance, whether soone excels at sword cultivation depends on their Sword Sense. If they have it, they’ll feel very adept when holding a sword, making it easier to cultivate Swordsmanship and comprehend sword techniques.
If one lacks Sword Sense, holding a sword will feel uncomfortable, making cultivation twice as difficult with half the results, sotis even impossible to progress.
Only those with Sword Sense are suitable for sword cultivation; otherwise, it would hinder one’s advancent in Martial Arts.
Of course, lacking Sword Sense doesn’t an one can’t cultivate Martial Arts.
So people, while lacking Sword Sense, may possess senses for blades or spears, and can definitely choose another path.
Different approaches, sa destination; no matter which path is taken, ultimately, they all lead to the peak of Martial Arts.
Since the detection standards of this Inquiry Sword Stone were unknown, Wang Ruoxie dared not hold back at all. After all, he only had one chance, and if his score was too poor and he got eliminated in the first round, it would be too late for regrets.
Imdiately, Wang Ruoxie raised his palm and gently pressed it against the Inquiry Sword Stone.
Yet, the Inquiry Sword Stone showed no change, not even a glimr of light.
"No way, not even one star can be lit?"
Seeing this, there was an uproar among the crowd.
"This is impossible."
Song Qing looked doubtful, confident in his own judgnt, believing that even if Wang Ruoxie wasn’t a Sword Cultivation genius, he certainly could light up at least one star.
Even Leng Ao, who hoped for Wang Ruoxie’s embarrassnt, showed a puzzled expression at the mont.
He was well aware that Wang Ruoxie’s sword skills even surpassed his own.
With the cultivation of the Fourth Layer of Energy-Introducing Realm, he comprehended the sword technique level of Following the Heart’s Great Success, entirely qualifying as a top Sword Cultivation genius.
"A diocre talent that can’t even light up one star."
Ouyang Ling shook his head sowhat disappointedly.
He initially thought this youth exuding a special aura might not be a Five-Star or Six-Star Sword Cultivation genius, but at the very least, he should light up three or even four stars, not expecting him to be a re nobody without even One-Star Swordsmanship Talent.
"How absurd, with such pitiful aptitude, he dares to participate in the assessnt."
From the crowd, Yang Hongwu laughed scornfully: "Trash is trash, yet he dreams of joining the Celestial Sword Sect, utterly laughable."
Many showed faces of contempt.
But just then, the Inquiry Sword Stone began to tremble violently, increasingly stronger.
In the next mont, a brilliant silver beam burst from the Inquiry Sword Stone, shooting into the sky.
At this mont, all nine star patterns on the Inquiry Sword Stone were lit up, shining with radiant silver light.
Witnessing this surreal scene, everyone froze where they stood, silence engulfing all.
"My heavens, nine stars."
"Am I seeing this right? He actually lit up nine stars."
...
After a long while, the crowd regained their composure, gasping in astonishnt.
"Haha, I knew it, how could Brother Wang not even light up one star? Nine-Star Swordsmanship Talent, perhaps never before seen in the history of the Celestial Sword Sect, right?"
Song Qing laughed excitedly.
Even he didn’t expect Wang Ruoxie’s achievent to be so stunning.
He even speculated that if there were a Ten-Star or Eleven-Star on the Inquiry Sword Stone, Wang Ruoxie might light them all as well, for that light beam was simply too astonishing, breaking through the heavens.
Leng Ao’s expression at this mont was extrely ugly; although he knew Wang Ruoxie’s Swordsmanship Talent couldn’t be weak, he didn’t expect the other to light up nine stars.
Initially, his Five-Star Swordsmanship Talent, while not the strongest compared to everyone, was still a rare Sword Cultivating genius. At least from his perspective, his Swordsmanship Talent should not be lesser than Wang Ruoxie’s.
Yet now, he’d realized the vast gap between himself and Wang Ruoxie.
As for Yang Hongwu, he was left stunned, recalling his mocking words monts ago made him feel as if he’d been slapped hard, his face burning with a sting.
"Good... good... good..."
Ouyang Ling finally snapped out of shock, his face brimming with excitent, uncontrollably exclaiming good thrice.
As far as he knew, throughout history, the Celestial Sword Sect had only had three peerless geniuses with Nine-Star Swordsmanship Talent.
The first was the founding ancestor of the Celestial Sword Sect.
The second was an ancestor from two hundred years ago, who elevated the Celestial Sword Sect to the number one sect in East Victory Kingdom.
And the third was naturally the sixteen-year-old boy in front of them.
"What is your na, and where are you from?"
Ouyang Ling strove to keep his tone gentle as he addressed Wang Ruoxie.
"Wang Ruoxie from Wuyi County."
Wang Ruoxie smiled calmly and replied.
In fact, even he didn’t expect to light up nine stars directly.
Of course, he wasn’t too surprised, for his Swordsmanship Talent was enough to rank within the top ten even in the past Celestial Realm.
"What, he is that rumored wastrel Wang Ruoxie?"
"No way, I heard that although Wang Ruoxie is the seventh son of Marquis Qingyun in Wuyi County, he can’t awaken his Bloodline Power, nor cultivate Martial Arts, his cultivation stuck at the First Layer of the Body Tempering Realm for years without breaking through."
"What a joke, wastrel? diocre? This is clearly a once-in-a-century peerless genius!"
The crowd exclaid one after another.
anwhile, those also from Wuyi County or neighboring counties, showed doubtful looks one by one.
Though they hadn’t t Wang Ruoxie before, they heard rumors about him, with many secretly mocking Wang Ruoxie.
Yet many others internally admitted that rumors were indeed deceitful; this Wang Ruoxie was nowhere near a wastrel but a peerless genius with Swordsmanship Talent breaking through the skies.
"Wang Ruoxie, with your Nine-Star Swordsmanship Talent, I can authorize you to directly join the Celestial Sword Sect without needing to undergo any further examinations, what do you say?"
Ouyang Ling wore a gentle smile as he spoke to Wang Ruoxie.
The crowd wasn’t surprised at Ouyang Ling’s offer; Nine-Star Swordsmanship Talent was proof enough, making further assessnts unnecessary.
"It’s not necessary, I wish to continue with the examinations."
Wang Ruoxie replied with a light smile, shaking his head.
