Chapter 12: Unparalleled Genius

Colorless.

A talent that only exists in legends.

How many years has it been? How many years have passed without anyone possessing a colorless talent? It has likely been thousands of years. But now, a person with a colorless talent had been discovered by him.

The elder's breathing became rapid, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins. His gaze towards Mu Ruyue was like that of a hungry wolf seeing a long-lost delicacy, eager to pounce.

Mu Ruyue withdrew her hand and was startled by the scene she saw.

"I've already finished testing. I'll be leaving now."

Through the memories of her predecessor, Mu Ruyue knew that a purple talent was considered top-notch. Since she had obtained the desired result, there was no need for her to stay here.

"Wait!"

The elder hurriedly called out. It was a joke; how could he possibly let such a peerless genius leave so easily?

"Hehe," he chuckled, rubbing his palms together. The elder smiled and said, "Little girl, I am an elder of the Qingyun Sect. You can just call me Elder Zhao. Do you know your test results?"

Mu Ruyue raised her eyebrows and said, "Isn't it purple?"

"Purple?" Elder Zhao's lips curled into a bitter smile, "It would be great if you were purple."

Mu Ruyue's heart skipped a beat, and her face gradually darkened. Could it be that her test results were truly disappointing?

Suddenly, she recalled the abruptly vanished purple light, her heart becoming colder and heavier.

"Colorless, do you know what colorless means?" Elder Zhao, knowing her thoughts, gave her a stern look, "The Peak of Martial Arts emphasizes the concept of 'nothingness,' and the colorless talent is more than twice as strong as the purple talent. For thousands of years, no one has achieved this level, but the strong ones from thousands of years ago who had the colorless talent—weren't they all individuals who ascended to the pinnacle? Can purple even compare to colorless?"

This colorless talent was indeed something Mu Ruyue was hearing about for the first time, and she couldn't help but frown.

"By the way, girl, you should also test your spiritual power. We generally don't help people test their spiritual power, but you're an exception today."

As he said this, Elder Zhao hurriedly took out the stone for testing spiritual power and placed it beside the martial test stone.

"Testing spiritual power is very simple. You only need to channel your spiritual power into the stone as much as possible. This stone can absorb spiritual power; the more it swells, the stronger your spiritual power is."

Elder Zhao looked excited. He was eager to see how much this girl could astonish him.

"Boom!"

Powerful spiritual energy spread throughout the room, even making Elder Zhao feel this fierce force. His expression froze slightly, his eyes fixed on the stone in front of Mu Ruyue.

The spiritual power smashed into the stone, and in that instant, the stone absorbed the spiritual power and began to swell rapidly, without any sign of stopping, as if it could never be filled.

Elder Zhao's expression froze, looking as though he had seen a ghost. How much spiritual power was required to achieve this?

Of course, Elder Zhao did not know that Mu Ruyue's dense spiritual power was connected to her contract with the Dan Book.

And he would never know.

As the light grew intense, Elder Zhao's mouth gaped in astonishment, but before he could recover from the shock, there was a loud bang, and the stone exploded into powder.

The Testing Hall returned to its usual calm.

But the hearts of the people were far from calm...

Others might not know how hard the test stone was, but Elder Zhao certainly did. Even an Innate Strong Person's full blow would only break a corner.

Now, it was shattered before his eyes.

This meant her boundless spiritual power was beyond the test stone's capacity.

How much of a genius was this girl!

Elder Zhao's face stiffened, clearly still recovering from the shock.

Given her test results today, besides being an unparalleled genius in martial cultivation, there was no one more suited to becoming an Alchemy Master!

A Heavenly Stage Alchemist, a rank that stood at the peak of the continent looking down upon all beings; for her, it might not be impossible...
