Asbolute!

The test resumed after Thomas's announcement.

The elders and head village who were initially discouraged by the talent of the younger generation were joyful after Adam's appearance.

If they were told now that only Adam had talent in this entire year, they wouldn't mind it much.

Adam was already a candidate to become another elder of Stream Village, that was more than enough for them, the elders knew their place and weren't greedy to ask for more.

Plus, every two years this test will be held, so more talents of the younger generation will surely show themselves sooner or later.

They had nothing to worry about!

One hour later, almost all the children took the third test. There were some low-grade talent, while the rest were merely bottom-grade with no talent at all.

"This is to be expected. Don't forget that all of us are basically weaklings trying to survive in this world," The head village, Daniel, glanced at Yone and Tom before he shamelessly continued," The results are already more than satisfactory elders, it's time for the main event now!"

After he uttered those words, the adventure association door opened and a woman entered the spacious room of the test. She had short grey hair with a pair of piercing silver moon eyes, and her face was gorgeous, with soft-looking pink lips and a button nose.

Her expression was nonchalant and her gaze was cold as ice, everyone in the room felt her eyes scanning them as if they were some mere objects on the side of a stall market whose worth was being measured at the moment.

A chill ran down everyone's spine as they awaited the woman to speak, they didn't know why but everyone felt her eyes become colder and colder with each passing second.

Yone's eyes flashed with a demonic glee the moment he looked at the woman that just entered, he was inwardly laughing.

He knew that the woman's next words would change his current life, but at the moment, he did not think much of it.

So what if his life changed...

As long as he is breathing he would soon overcome all difficulties and rise with the help of the system. All he currently needs is a way to start cultivating martial arts and increase his strength.

Yone was confident that everything beyond that would be an open path for him, he couldn't wait to start his new journey in this interesting world.

He then heard the woman saying, a cold monotone voice was all that sounded in the room as she expressionlessly commented.

"That one is useless, I'll take the other with me!"

Yone's heart beat faster after listening to her words, he was excited that he was deemed useless.

Indeed!

The person she deemed useless was none other than him. As for the person she said she was about to take, it was obviously his dear brother...

Even though everyone would feel angry and humiliated if faced with such a situation, Yone felt no such feelings at all. 

In fact, he was rather glad, joyful, and happy that he was deemed useless by this supposedly strong woman who just entered the room.

All sorts of scenarios and different thoughts were hovering in his brain right now.

' Will he be killed? Will his parents intervene and kill off this woman who arrogantly walked in to take their child from them while humiliating the other one.'

Yone had many many questions that would soon be answered, he couldn't wait to see this unfold.

As for his safety?

He wasn't delusional... He knew that he had no strength whatsoever as of this moment, if his life was taken right now, then so be it.

However, if he walked out of this room alive, then this woman in front of him would for sure be k...

'Argh, what am I thinking, let's see first,' Yone scratched his head in annoyance, he truly felt that the years he spent as a kid in this clan made his imagination go a bit wild,' It is most likely caused of the stories those servants and Lilia keep telling me about on every night.'

Daniel at the end of the room stood up upon hearing her words, he respectfully bowed cupping his fists toward her direction.

"Speak."

The gray-haired woman commanded, her tone authoritative, leaving no room for any opposing reactions.

"Madam Charlotte, As promised I have informed you of the whereabouts of the Danci clan, I hope that you don't forget our deal."

Daniel's tone was respectful as he uttered these words, even though it sounded a bit out of place right now, he was still a head village and needed to secure his share.

"One of them is useless so you will only take half the promised spirit stones and resources I promised." Her gaze was solely fixated on Tom as she said those words.

Daniel sat down like an obedient servant, his face solemn but didn't dare to utter any word against her.

"As you wish Madam Charlotte." With that, he looked at Tom and Yone pitifully before giving a side look at David.

The woman's words were absolute and Daniel obeyed her like a dog guarding her courtyard.

Witnessing this scene, Tom felt his heart clenching. He was once told that someone might brutally kidnap him from them in the future years.

His parents had told him that it was the nobles who forbade them from practicing martial arts and banished them to this faraway place where peasants lived. At first, he refused to believe it, thinking that his parents were merely telling him dark stories to make him fear nobles and be more cautious in the future.

Unfortunately, he now came to understand that all of those stories were genuine, and he was indeed about to be taken away from his family.

He looked at his brother who had a cold indifferent face to all of this situation with a complicated gaze,' Even though he was deemed useless by this mysterious woman, he still acted as all of this was none of his business. Is he not afraid that he might be killed?'

Tom's heart clenched every time he thought of that, tears uncontrollably flowing down his cheeks all the way to the tip of his chin before falling to the floor.

Lilia at the end of the room noticed her son's feelings going turmoil at the side, instantly, countless veins popped on her forehead. In the next moment, she threw a punch in Charlotte's direction. Multiple phantom fists meters in size Immediately appeared out of thin air and converged on Charlotte.

Each phantom fist carried power at the qi condensation realm 1st layer, their fusion causing the room to shake. Although the attack Lilia just executed would threaten Daniel and even kill him in the spot if not prepared, the elders and even the head village himself slightly shook their heads.

All futile attempts to resist the inevitable outcome will only lead to unnecessary casualties.

Charlotte's power, the woman who is known as the ice witch could only be described with one word.

Absolute!
