C16 Bai Zhan Was Shocked the Golden Legend!

Blue!

A new hue emerged on the pitch-black stone.

The unexpected change momentarily caught Bai Zhan off guard.

Bai Zhan's expression turned peculiar.

It's important to note that as an instructor at the God's Favored Camp, he had assessed innumerable prodigies.

Yet, this was the first instance Bai Zhan had encountered someone who could alter the Testing Stone's color.

Taking a deep breath and narrowing his eyes, Bai Zhan fixed his gaze on Su Yu and spoke with a hint of detachment.

"Blue signifies that, at a minimum, he'll become a warrior of the Golden Body Stage. Su Yu is indeed fit for the God's Favored Camp!"

His brief proclamation instantly filled Lau Kuang, who stood nearby, with immense joy.

It had been years since a talent of such caliber had joined the God's Favored Camp.

With Su Yu's entry, the Hengcheng Martial Cultivator Association would surely gain access to greater resources. In time, this could lead to the emergence of additional prodigies!

Such is the plight of a small city.

Even with a genius in their midst, without ample resources, they remain overshadowed by the prodigies from larger cities.

This was precisely why Lau Kuang was so thrilled about Su Yu's potential entry into the God's Favored Camp.

Moreover, the blue indicated that Su Yu was destined to reach at least the Golden Body Stage. It's worth mentioning that even in Jiangnan Province, a Golden Body Stage warrior is considered formidable.

And the instructors at the God's Favored Camp? They too are merely at the Golden Body Stage.

As for Hengcheng, not a single Golden Body Stage warrior exists!

This means that, barring any misfortune, Su Yu is poised to become Hengcheng's very first Golden Body Stage powerhouse!

What an extraordinary honor that would be!

Lau Kuang wasn't the only one elated; Bai Zhan's gaze softened considerably as he looked at Su Yu.

The potential of the Golden Body Stage... was far from meager!

Yet, in that moment, the Testing Stone trembled once more.

Bai Zhan's pupils contracted sharply, his eyes locked onto the stone.

"Could it be..."

A bold hypothesis took shape in Bai Zhan's mind.

And just as he began to entertain the thought, a burst of purple brilliance enveloped the stone, overshadowing the other colors.

The instant the purple glow erupted, Bai Zhan couldn't contain himself; he stood up abruptly, exclaiming, "Purple talent!"

Shock was etched deeply in Bai Zhan's eyes.

Beside him, Lau Kuang looked on, puzzled by Bai Zhan's reaction.

Taking a deep breath to steady his overwhelming astonishment, Bai Zhan began to explain, "The Testing Stone gauges a person's potential, indicated by colors: green, blue, purple, orange, red, and gold."

"Green signifies the Viscera Refining Stage potential, blue the Golden Body Stage, purple the Heaven Flying Stage, and orange... that's the potential of a Grandmaster!"

"Red and gold are even more formidable," he continued.

"This year, Jiangnan Province has seen only one genius of the orange rank. In the God's Favored Camp, purple ranks are scarce, with just seven or eight in existence."

As he spoke, a gleam of excitement sparked in Bai Zhan's eyes. "Who would have thought that Hengcheng, a small city on the fringe, could birth a purple rank genius? Lau Kuang, you've made a significant contribution."

Bai Zhan, now gazing at the purple brilliance of the Testing Stone, was in high spirits. He had assumed his trip to Hengcheng would be a simple affair; after all, what caliber of genius could emerge from such a place?

Yet, to Bai Zhan's surprise, Hengcheng had nurtured a prodigy.

Lau Kuang, barely containing his elation, responded with due respect, "It's my duty."

Bai Zhan burst into hearty laughter, his mind already weaving plans for Su Yu's future.

But then, the Testing Stone began to quiver anew.

Bai Zhan froze.

"Damn, it's not over?" he blurted out, despite himself.

Who else could cause the Testing Stone to shift like this? Su Yu was unprecedented.

Despite his outburst, Bai Zhan's excitement was palpable. Already at the purple rank, if the potential evolved further...

Could it reach the orange rank?

That's the potential of a Grandmaster!

It's worth noting that the whole of Jiangnan Province only boasts one acknowledged Grandmaster Stage Expert!

And whether there are others lurking in the shadows is beyond Bai Zhan's ken.

Even so, it served as a testament to the unparalleled might of a Grandmaster Stage Expert.

It highlighted the extreme rarity of a genius with orange potential.

Bai Zhan and Lau Kuang were fixated on the Testing Stone in Su Yu's hands, not even blinking.

They watched as the stone vibrated incessantly, seemingly harboring a formidable energy within that was growing stronger by the moment.

Suddenly, a brilliant scarlet radiance shot up into the sky, transforming into a crimson tornado.

It shattered through the roof of the Martial Artist Association's building, revealing itself between heaven and earth.

Upon witnessing this, Bai Zhan's face contorted with shock.

A torrent of Spiritual Qi burst forth from him.

"Damn it, red potential!"

Sweat poured down Bai Zhan's forehead in large droplets.

A rumor surfaced in his mind, one that claimed a God's Favored with red potential, when identified, would trigger a celestial phenomenon.

He never imagined he would encounter one himself.

If it were merely a celestial oddity, it might be manageable.

But the human race was in dire straits!

Outside, the Myriad Clan waged war against humanity, while traitors sowed discord from within.

And their favorite prey? The God's Favored of the human race.

If they learned of a God's Favored with red potential, they would stop at nothing to snuff out that life before it could flourish.

Thus, a God's Favored destined for red potential was typically guarded by a host of powerful experts who would suppress any heavenly anomalies to safeguard them.

Yet, Bai Zhan had never imagined that such a prodigy would emerge from a backwater like Hengcheng!

While he felt a surge of joy, it was overwhelmed by the crushing weight of responsibility.

A red genius could provoke the intervention of an Evil Cult member from the Heaven Flying Stage.

And that was beyond Bai Zhan's ability to contend with.

As he worked to quell the celestial disturbances, a wry smile played on his lips.

"Let's just hope the headquarters catches on quickly."

But as Bai Zhan struggled to contain the red tornado of light, the Testing Stone in Su Yu's grasp was about to unleash another horrifying transformation.

"This is..." Bai Zhan's pupils dilated abruptly, his gaze fixed intently on the testing stone. Golden lines emerged one after another on its surface, growing increasingly visible. Then, with a resounding boom, the stone crumbled to dust in an instant. Above, the heavens showered down golden light, while mysterious ripples unfurled across the expanse of the sky and earth. Ethereal silhouettes of exotic and mythical creatures soared between them. "A divine omen!" Bai Zhan cried out in awe. "Could it be... that this child possesses the golden potential!"
