Yes, I do!

[OnearmedImmortal's enlightenment]

I was in a time-accelerated domain, experiencing the profundities of reality and I was forced to put off my writing a little bit but now that I have finished my fruitful seclusion, I feel that I could create whatever I want.

This immortal's lifespan was in no way near its end since I am this close at grasping the secrets of eternal life.

I no longer need Lifespan Gu.

It's good to be back at Literary Heaven.

As someone who had scouted both Zhao Wei and Zhao Yufei back at the Zhao Clan, specifically the Zhao Clan, Ye Lingyun was the most curious of all about the rising star that devastatingly overpowered Bei Moi.

Ever since he had brought the two into the Sky Guards Battalion, Ye Lingyun had shifted his attention to his own matters and it had only been recently that Third Guard passed on some hot news to him.

Ye Lingyun had been astonished at first, unbelieving of the fact that a super genius like Bei Moi could be defeated by someone in the Sky Guards Battalion.

And to add salt to injury, he was defeated by someone weaker than him in terms of cultivation by a whole realm.

'Zhao Wei' was the name of the usurper of the super genius title.

Ye Lingyun wondered what kind of talent Zhao Wei was going to show to the world.

Could his potential surpass Bei Moi's?

Ye Lingyun wasn't alone in this speculation.

Lord Guanjun, Third Guard, and Bei Moi himself were the most curious of all.

'Knowing him, the bastard might try to show off or mess around when he is the center of attention.' Zhao Yufei was already proud of herself for being capable of predicting Zhao Wei's antics.

'Anyway, if his talent isn't the most ridiculous thing in existence then I will be damned.' Zhao Yufei gave the crystal ball a mirthful gaze.

Zhao Wei looked at the three circles that had already formed on the crystal ball in concentration.

If there was something he had taught himself well, then it had to be anything to do with control.

He was adept at controlling his inner strength and body.

To control his potential - an aspect of himself -seemed almost impossible but Zhao Wei could do it if he put his mind to it.

As far as he was concerned, the [Myriad Constellation Physique] had already rewritten his initial talent that was probably within the limits of a mortal to something immeasurable.

It was the feeling he had gotten after being reborn.

Zhao Wei compared it to the effect of the Essence of Blank, but geared towards innate talent and cultivation progression instead of mastery over different disciplines.

After being bestowed with such a perk, it was inevitable that he could control what others saw from him.

Zhao Feng's talent had evolved as a result of the Ancestral Eye of Dream's gradual boost. Well, it was more like the God Eye itself was his sole talent.

But the fact still remained that Zhao Feng could also alter his own results shown on a talent-measuring artifact.

Anyway, Zhao Wei didn't need to show that he was the only living being with the most potential or try to prove that he was better.

He planned to show something that was within the limits of acceptance - something that didn't deviate from the norm.

He was a meticulous person and there was no way he was going to shatter the artifact due to an inflated ego or portray himself as an underdog.

Under his deliberate control, the fourth circle formed weakly, giving those spectating a horrible scare.

'How can his talent be so weak?' They probably asked themselves such a question.

Zhao Wei showed extreme disappointment on his handsome face after seeing how his talent was lingering in the mortal limit.

He was the showsman and he had his part to play. A ruse.

The Dao of Subterfuge had to be put to fruition.

The play was his to manipulate.

Zhao Wei found amusement in the different reactions that those in the room displayed.

Then as if Lady Luck was smiling upon Zhao Wei, the weak fourth circle gave out distracting lights before the fifth circle was filled to the brim.

The fifth circle?!

What had just happened?

Feng Hanyue was surprised and didn't believe for once that Zhao Wei had the same level of talent as him. He expected… more!

Lord Guanjun carefully studied the crystal ball's reaction in surprise while looking at Zhao Wei.

A certain thought passed through his mind before he sighed in disappointment.

Bei Moi also found the result unbelievable.

Just as he was about to take the crystal ball from Zhao Wei's hands, the sixth circle lit up almost immediately.

Lord Guanjun rose from his futon and looked at how the situation was unfolding in bewilderment.

'I-It can't be a true changeable body?' Lord Guanjun started having doubts of his own about Zhao Wei's true talent.

He didn't want to believe whatever was unfolding in front of him as a true changeable body had a one-in-a-million chance of manifesting in an individual.

The probability of someone having a true changeable body was extremely low!

It was simply that rare in the vast universe.

Apart from Lord Guanjun, all the others in the room weren't privy to that knowledge. They were only captivated by the peculiarity of Zhao Wei's talent.

Bei Moi withdrew his hand and continued watching with rapt attention. Deep inside, he believed that someone capable of shattering his pride and subverting his worldview would probably have a talent that was superior to his.

Zhao Wei was younger than him by about two years, mind you.

Bei Moi wished Zhao Wei to be more than just skill or else… he was going to surpass him and make Zhao Wei relive what he had put him through.

You know, the usual tit-for-tat. He didn't hold it against him as there was already a saying that states, "Anything that goes around, comes around."

Meanwhile, Zhao Wei had a face of confusion as the light hovered between the sixth circle and seventh circle as if once again undecided.

SHIIIII!

The Seventh Circle finally lit up!

WAAH!

Thump! Everyone's heart shook in anticipatory excitement.

Just as everyone was thinking that it was the end.

Zhao Wei laughed in his mind and gave them another scare.

Eight circles.

After a full minute, nothing changed and this allowed the audience to take a breather.

And that was his cue to leave things at that and Zhao Wei decided to put an end to his little performance.

Zhao Wei gave a dejected smile after a full minute of looking at the crystal ball with much expectation for more.

"Brother Bei, it seems this is my limit."

"I didn't know that I had such little talent. I have disappointed everyone." Zhao Wei spoke with great sadness in his voice as he returned the crystal ball to frozen Bei Moi.

Bei Moi was like a program that had stopped responding and was awaiting a crash report to be formulated.

Your father! Your whole family! Your whole extended ancestry is untalented!

Who do you think you are?!

If you are untalented, then I am just the lowest piece of trash to ever exist!

F*ck!

Lord Guanjun couldn't retain his calm and almost lost his footing due to Zhao Wei's utter nonsense.

This core disciple of his was utterly brutal!

Yes, from that moment on, Zhao Wei had already become his core disciple despite his troublemaking tendency.

A bright, genuine smile formed on his lips as he witnessed the emergence of another Bei Moi but better.

Lord Guanjun could already foresee the completion of his ardent wish.

"Zhao Wei, do you accept me as your master?" Lord Guanjun rushed toward Zhao Wei and gleefully stood in front of him.

Everyone couldn't believe how things were proceeding so fast without a break!

'Here goes nothing!' Zhao Wei's eyes twinkled before he bowed elegantly.

"Yes, I do." He internally cringed at his own words.

It felt so wrong in so many different languages!
