The seven colors—amber, orange, yellow, green, cyan, and purple—flashed wildly without stopping. Although Huo Shui’s talent reached the purple rank, it was still just a light shade of purple. She even tried to push herself in the hopes of forcing the stone to go from blue to purple. Ye Tianyi’s talent, on the other hand, turned purple immediately! The brightness of the purple rays was no different from Ye Xian’er’s.

Everybody was stunned! Huo Shui was shocked, unable to move. Ye Xian’er was also taken aback, and Shi Jiayi watched the scene unfold in surprise!

She could see Ye Tianyi’s Realm, but for someone who was only in the Body Forging stage: level one would not be considered as a genius, right? Why did it turn purple?

Ye Xian’er pretty eyes were filled with disbelief.

How… How was this possible?

At that moment, something even more shocking happened…

Bang—

The Astral Stone exploded into ashes under Ye Tianyi’s palm, and the purple light disappeared.

Everybody, “???”

“F*ck me! What’s going on? It…exploded?”

“It doesn’t matter if the stone exploded. What just happened? The purple color is the highest talent… Ye Tianyi? Purple? The stone must be crazy.”

“It must be fake! How can this useless piece of trash have the highest ranking talent? I’d rather believe that my female pig at home got pregnant because of my brother.”

“…”

The crowd started muttering.

The academy was stunned. They had never encountered such a situation before! Even Li Boren was startled.

“Hey.” Ye Tianyi retracted his hand, looked up at the teachers by Li Boren’s side, and said, “Tensui Academy is the top academy in the Tensui Sacred City. How could you buy a fake stone that’s so poor in quality? Were you planning on compensating me if my fair and delicate hand had gotten hurt in the explosion?”

The corners of everybody’s mouths could not help but twitch when they heard Ye Tianyi’s words.

Ye Tianyi himself was also stunned. Why did the stone explode? His luck was terrible. After all, he wanted to see if he could make the stone flash blue.

The Astral Stone identified a person’s talents based on their current status. He knew it was impossible for the stone to flash purple for him since he was only 19 years old and was just at the Body Forging stage: level five. Hence, Ye Tianyi thought that the stone was faulty.

“Spoiled?” Shi Jiayi pondered lightly. All these years, she had never seen the Astral Stone malfunction.

Lin Changtian also relaxed.

“That gave me a fright. I thought Ye Tianyi’s talent was of the highest level. It turns out it was the stone’s mistake, hahaha,” Lin Changtian laughed lightly.

“And here I thought the sun rose from the West.” Huo Shui also relaxed.

Why were they so nervous? Ye Tianyi couldn’t have possessed such a high level of talent.

“Everybody, please wait for a moment. The Astral Stone’s quality must have deteriorated from being used too many times. A new Astral Stone will be brought forward soon!” Qin Chao said.

Soon, a tutor walked over with a new Astral Stone and placed it on the table.

“Alright, Ye Tianyi, you can try again,” Qin Chao said, looking at Ye Tianyi.

Ye Tianyi nodded and placed his hand on the Astral Stone once again.

Amber, orange, yellow, green, cyan, and purple…

Bang—

The Astral Stone exploded again.

Everybody, “???”

What was happening? Was it coincidental? Both stones with quality issues? If that were the case, why was the first stone unaffected when the other students used it earlier?

“What the f*ck? How can Tensui Academy be so cruel? Although I have a bad reputation, I’ve never done anything to harm the academy. Why are you trying to kill me with a bomb?” Ye Tianyi said, unhappy with the situation.

Some people among the crowd started feeling suspicious.

“That’s nothing. Wait a moment. Bring over a new Astral Stone!” Li Boren said.

Soon, another Astral Stone was placed on the table.

“Qin Chao, come test this Astral Stone and see if it has any problem,” Li Boren looked at Qin Chao and said.

“Yes, Dean.” Qin Chao walked over.

Amber, orange, yellow, green, cyan, and purple… The light stopped at a dazzling purple.

“Okay, we’ve confirmed that there’s nothing wrong with this Astral Stone. Ye Tianyi, try again!” Li Boren looked at Ye Tianyi and said.

“If you dare bomb me again, I’ll get my revenge by seducing your granddaughter!” Ye Tianyi’s face darkened as he swung his right hand which was slightly numb.

Li Boren, “…”

Everybody, “…”

Ye Tianyi placed his hand on top of the Astral Stone again.

Amber, orange, yellow, green, cyan, and purple…

Bang—

Everybody, “???”

“F*ck me! What’s going on? Why did it explode again?”

“No, what kind of catastrophic god is he? Why did nothing happen when the others touched it, but exploded once he touched it?”

“Could it be possible Ye Tianyi destroyed the Astral Stone on purpose? That’s not right. Not even the power of the Profound Heaven stage can destroy an Astral Stone. So why does it keep exploding under Ye Tianyi’s hands?”

“…”

Even Ye Tianyi felt that something was wrong after three consecutive incidents…

Everybody could not understand what was going on.

“I get it!” Li Bang suddenly yelled, causing everybody to look over at him, baffled.

“It’s because Brother Ye… Brother Ye’s talent is incredibly strong! He must’ve broken the identification limit of the Astral Stone, causing it to explode! I knew it! I knew Brother Ye was hiding his actual strength. He’s actually better than all of you, a genius compared to all of you!”

Ye Xian’er, “???”

How did we not know that?

Ye Tianyi, “???”

‘I was f*cking hiding?

‘I’m f*cking useless! Big brother, how can you be so stupid?’

However…

Wait!

Divine cultivation talent!

Ye Tianyi suddenly realized something. His Realm might not be high for someone his age, but the system had previously awarded him the divine cultivation talent. The highest appraising level for the Astral Stone was the purple level talent. The only explanation that the Astral Stone— a stone that could not be destroyed even by someone of the Profound Heaven Stage—exploded was because…his talent was so strong that he had exceeded the stone’s highest appraising level…

Li Bang’s words might have very well been the truth.

Although Li Bang’s casual statement attracted a fair bit of hisses and laughter from many students, it provoked the thoughts of the powerful people there.

Shi Jiayi’s pretty eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes! She remembered a record about the Continent. The Astral Stone could not be destroyed, not even by the power of the Profound Heaven stage. However, should one’s talent be higher than the level of what the stone could appraise, the Astral Stone would explode! Ye Tianyi’s talent…

Was it possible that he was hiding it all these years? She could clearly see his Realm, though.

“Brother Ye, you used to be a young master from one of the four great families of the Tensui Empire, but the Ye family was destroyed by an unknown power. Hence, although you have the highest talent in training, you’ve purposely hidden your talent all these years so that you wouldn’t attract the attention of the enemies who are hiding in the dark. You made yourself look like a useless person in everybody’s eyes, but in fact, you’re actually waiting for yourself to grow stronger. Today, Brother Ye plans to reveal everything, knowing that you’re now strong enough. The world’s changing so fast, and it’s always beyond our expectations. We shouldn’t look down on poor young people. I made my guess a long time ago.”

Li Bang looked at Ye Xian’er before continuing, “Senior Ye Xian’er, you’re Brother Ye’s sister. You must’ve known everything, right? You’re here today so that you can witness Brother Ye’s strong return together with everybody, right?

Ye Tianyi, “???”

Ye Xian’er, “???”

Everybody, “???”
