Chapter 5 - Test Results

Each of the ten different groups in the crowd of people gathered in and around the Star Plain had chosen three people to take the test. The young men in the group from Meteor City looked at them with contempt when the people across them finished their choices and then spoke: "Now listen carefully to what I have to say. Because I'm going to tell you how to do the test and what the lowest test result should be."

The young man stroked his Green Spatial Ring again and pulled a small knife out of the ring. Then, using the knife, he slightly cut the middle of his Palm, allowing his blood to flow out slightly. The young man looked back at the crowd after cutting off his hand and spoke proudly, saying: "All those who take part in the Test have to do is cut their palms slightly and let their blood flow out. Then touch this sphere in front of me with their palm cut off. When they have done this, the Profound Imaging Sphere will show their potential. I'll take the test first to show you." After speaking, the young man touched the sphere with his bleeding hand.

When he touched it, the sphere began to glow softly. Then the brightness decreased and small colored stars began to appear inside the sphere.

One Green Star, two Green Stars, three Green Stars...

Soon, exactly ten green stars appeared inside the sphere. However, the changes that occurred in the sphere did not end there. After the tenth Green Star formed, all of the stars vibrated and merged to form a larger blue-colored star. As happened before the Blue Star appeared, other stars were formed but this time the stars were blue.

Two Blue Stars, three Blue Stars, four Blue Stars...

The changes had ceased after the eighth Blue Star appeared. The people from Meteor City nodded as if they were pleased with the eight Blue Stars that appeared from the sphere. Seeing their delighted reactions, the young man turned towards the crowd trying to understand what was going on and spoke in a proud tone: "You all just saw the star shapes that appeared in the sphere. These shapes are called the Stars of potential. After you take the test, different colors and the number of star shapes will appear in the sphere according to your potential. The star shapes that will form are divided into different colors and according to their degrees, up to ten stars could be formed in each color. After the tenth star is formed, if you have enough potential, star shapes in a higher degree begin to appear. The attendees must be able to form at least nine Green Stars to be able to come with us to the Meteor City and join the Burning Meteor Sect."

After a brief moment of silence, one of the leaders in the crowd of people gathered in and around the Star Plain spoke timidly: "Well, Young Master, can you tell us how many different degrees there are on this test and the average result of the attendees?"

The young man looked arrogantly at the person who asked to question and spoke: "In this Profound Potential Test, there are ten Green Stars, after them, the stars would form in blue. After ten Blue Stars, Red Stars would form. These star colors have their respective names. Green Stars are the lowest level and they are called Human Stars. Human Stars show the potential of ordinary people. In Meteor City, people with Green Stars in their Potential Tests are considered rubbish. Blue Stars that come after the Green Stars are called the Saint Stars. These stars show the potential of geniuses. In the Burning Meteor Sect, even the weakest student have one Blue Star. If you were from our mighty Meteor City, you would have to have at least one Blue Star in your test result to be able to join our sect. But to expect something like this from the weak people who live in a place like this is just a dream. Therefore, our sect has granted a privilege to you and decided to accept people with at least nine Green Stars and more to join us."

The young man clearly despised the people in front of him, but no one could say anything. After all, this was the world of mighty. He was the son of the leader of the Burning Meteor Sect, one of the three greatest powers of Meteor City. Defying him was the same as defying the Burning Meteor Sect. He was so young and powerful that no matter what he told them, all they could do was shut up and accept what he said.

The young man looked at the crowd, overwhelmed, and spoke indifferently: "I don't want to stay here too long. So hurry up and send out the attendees now!"

For a moment after the young man's speech, everyone thought of who should be the first to take the test. Because it was a pretty big deal. If the first person to take the test was weak and the test result was low, it would cause the Star Plain to lose more. But if the result of the first person to take the test is high, it could at least be able to change the perception of the people of the Meteor City against the people of the Star Plain.

As people waited for the first person to come forward to take the test, one of the ten leaders looked at the teenager next to him and spoke proudly: Son, you go first and show everyone that we are not weak."

The son of one of the leaders, aged 20-22 and appearing about 190cm tall with molded, short brown hair, brown eyes, thick and bushy lashes, and eyebrows, the youngster narrowed his raucous eyes more and answered his father's words "Dad, don't worry! Your son will prove that we are not weak!"

The young man stepped forward after speaking and walked slowly towards the front of the sphere. People were pretty hopeful of the outcome of the test as he walked. Because this young man was considered to be a genius in and around the Star Plain since He was in the fifth level of the Elementary Profound Realm.

After arriving in front of the Sphere, the young man started talking to introduce himself: "I am the Star Plain's..."

"I don't care who you are or where you come from! No need for the unnecessary talk! Hurry up and take the test!" The young master of the Burning Meteor Sect seriously interrupted the young man in front of him and spoke.

The youngster, who will be put to the test, clenched his teeth and soon calmed himself down. He then cut the middle of his Palm, allowing his blood to flow out, and placed his hand on the Sphere. Soon after, the sphere began to shine again, and then the brightness decreased and Green Stars started to form.

One Green Star, Two Green Stars...

After about ten seconds, the emergence of the stars had ended, the result had quite surprised the people in and around the Star Plain. Because of the test result of the young man who they perceive as a genius, who was in the fifth level of the Elementary Profound Realm... It was exactly six Green Stars!

The young man who took the test, who had been regarded and indulged as a genius since he was born, naturally failed to digest this result and spoke up, raising his voice: "This is nonsense! There must be a mistake! There's definitely a mistake! This cant be my result!"

The young master of the Burning Meteor Sect looked at him with contempt and spoke casually: "There is no mistake in the Test. This is your own potential. Hurry up and get back where you were. I can't waste any more time on you. There are twenty-nine people still to take the test."

The young man ignored the words of the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect and cut off his other palm, allowing the blood to flow out, extended his palm to the Sphere to touch it.

However, this move made the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect very angry. Enraged, the Young Master grabbed the young man by the wrist and gripped it tightly. Then, with a crackling sound, the teenager's wrist was crushed, followed by the agonizing outcry the young man threw.

This incident suddenly changed the expressions of the people around. But against this terrible and painful sight, the father of the young man who took the test took a step forward to his son who was crying excruciatingly. At that very moment, an aura spread fear in people's hearts. The source of this aura was the middle-aged man named Toraman who came from Meteor City with the group.

The middle-aged man, named Toraman, looked at the crowd and spoke slowly, with a solemn expression: "there is a limit to our sympathy, too. If there is any further disrespect towards our Young Master, don't blame us for being rude!"

After the words of the middle-aged man named Toraman, Young Master of the Burning Meteor Clan furiously looked at the people of the Star Plain and spoke: "Who do you think you are to make me repeat my words!? We came here to grant you a chance of joining our Sect. But you have the audacity to say without shame that our test was wrong. That was a simple warning. If any of you disrespect me in any way again, I will kill whoever it is!" Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect looked at the young man with a humiliating look, who had just been put to the test, was now writhing bitterly on the ground, kicked him back to the crowd of Star Plain' people and continued to speak. "Now hurry up and send the rest of you to take the test!"

All of the people of the Star Plain felt the fear in their hearts as all the events unfolded. There were two reasons for this. The first reason was that when the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect kicked the young man, his Profound Power was clearly evident. His Profound Power level was exactly In the 8th level of Elementary Profound Realm! It was unimaginable for the people in and around the Star Plain for someone so young to have such a high level of Profound Power. Naturally, people were afraid of this young man whose power was unexplainable even when called super-geniuses. But the real reason for his fears was not the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect, but the middle-aged man named Toraman! Because as he spread his fearsome aura around, the profound power he had hidden was revealed. While the strongest person in the Star Plain was in the third level of the Nascent Profound Realm, The middle-aged man named Toraman was in the sixth level of Nascent Profound Realm! After learning about this fact, the hearts of the whole crowd were filled with dread, and at the same time, it once again made them realize the difference between them and the people of the Meteor City. As a result of this, all the people in and around the Star Plain thought the same things in their hearts.

"If this middle-aged man named Toraman is that powerful, then what is the level of the Profound Power of the other middle-aged man who has been waiting all this time and does not interfere or say anything.

But fear wasn't the only emotion generated as a result of this incident. Because there was someone very happy with the result of these events.

That was Yekta Mirza!!

The reason Yekta Mirza rejoiced after the words of the Burning Meteor Sect's young master's words was the possibility that the Young Master would perceive Asil Mirza's attempt to take the test without any Profound Power as disrespect to him. If this possibility were to come true, he would be able to get rid of his stepbrother Asil Mirza he had long wanted to get rid of without any problems, forever.

After a short time, people calmed down and the second person to take the test came forward. The person to take the test this time was the young girl, aged 19-20, about 170 tall, had slightly slanted green eyes and crescent eyebrows and pink lips.

When the young girl came to the front of the sphere without saying anything, she immediately cut off her palm and touched the sphere. Then the sphere began to shine softly again, immediately after that, star shapes began to form inside the sphere.

One Green Star, two Green Stars...

When the stars stopped forming, the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect first looked at the test result and then the young girl who took the test and spoke: " Even though I kept the requirements to join or sect so low, I did not think that people like you could actually achieve it. Since you could form nine Green Stars, you will come to Meteor City with us and become a part of our Sect. Hurry up and get back where you were." The young master of the Burning Meteor Sect was quite insouciant when he was talking to the young girl. Because nine Green Stars was very bad for him. To find favor in his eyes, one should be able to form at least one Blue Star. The Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect reminded the ones to take the test to be quick and the test went on after the young girl returned where she was.

Four Green Stars...

Three Green Stars...

Three Green Stars...

Six Green Stars...

Eight Green Stars...

...

The test went on quickly and a total of seven people took the test within a short period. Among the people that took the test, 15 were formed three Green Stars, 4 formed four Green Stars, 2 formed six Green Stars 1 formed seven Green Stars and 1 formed nine Green Stars. Although the number of people who took the test was large enough, after 27 people took the test, it was the young girl who managed to form nine Green Stars and pass the test.

Now there were only three people left to take the test, and they were the three chosen by the Mirza Clan. When it was time for the Mirza clan, they talked for about ten seconds, and after that, Ugur Mirza stepped forward and stood in front of the sphere, and after doing what was necessary, the test began.

One Green Star, Two Green Stars...

The stars continued to form and after ten Green Stars formed, something that had never happened before in the test happened.

Ten Green Stars merged into one Blue Star. After this Blue Star, no other star formed and the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect who confirmed looked at the Ugur Mirza and spoke: "Interesting! It's really interesting to have someone capable of forming a Blue Star in such a weak place. The fact that you can form a Blue Star means you will be able to gain a position in the future. Although you can only create one blue star, you can call yourself a genius for being born and raised in such a weak place, considering that the real requirement for our Sect to accept students is to be able to create a Blue Star."

As the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect spoke as if he was praising him, Ugur Mirza got proud and spoke politely: "Young master, this humble servant of yours does not deserve your beautiful words. I will do my best and will not disappoint you when I join the Burning Meteor Sect.

The Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect approved with a nod.

After Ugur Mirza's shocking test result, everyone was jealous and at the same time had great anticipation. The reason they were jealous was because of Ugur Mirza's test result. But their anticipation had nothing to do with it. The reason for this expectation was Yekta Mirza, who is now moving towards the sphere to take the test. Because to them, Ugur Mirza was a genius, and if a genius like him could produce a Blue Star in the test, what would the super genius of the Mirza Clan and the most powerful among the younger generation, Yekta Mirza's result be?

Yekta Mirza did what was necessary after coming to the front of the sphere and the test began.

One Green Star, two Green Stars, three Green Stars...

Just after the tenth star appeared, a Blue Star was formed, as was the case with Ugur Mirza's test, but this time the test did not end here.

One Blue Star, two Blue Stars...

When the stars stopped appearing, no one around, including The Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect could believe what they saw. Even the old man, who had been silent all this time without reacting, opened his eyes and looked at the sphere in a bewildered manner.

While The Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect could not believe what he saw, he looked at Yekta Mirza with a strange expression and spoke strangely "You.... were you really born here? You... You will directly be my right-hand man when you join the Burning Meteor Sect. Understood? You will only do as I say, and if you value your life, you will not abandon our Sect and do nothing to betray us."

Yekta Mirza smiled and answered the words of the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect: "It is not in my place to disobey you. You can be sure that I will not do anything to betray the Burning Meteor Sect and I will serve you well.

The test result of Yekta Mirza, which shocked everyone and caused even the old man, who had been unresponsive all this time, to open his eyes, was exactly seven Blue Stars!!

The Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect soon quelled his bewilderment, and after told Yekta Mirza to return where he was, he began to wait for the last person to take the test.

not only him but everyone was waiting for the Mirza Clan's last attendee which had grown two geniuses. While everyone's eyes were on the members of the Mirza Clan, Asil Mirza clenched his fist and stepped forward and started walking towards the sphere.

As soon as Asil Mirza stepped forward, the faces of the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect and people from the Meteor city had changed instantly. None of them knew what was going on. They weren't the only ones who didn't understand. And the people in and around Star Plain couldn't understand what was going on. They clearly knew who Asil Mirza was. He was the garbage of the Mirza Clan. Why did the Mirza Clan send him to take such an important test?

As Asil Mirza approach in front of the sphere and prepare to cut off his palm to begin the test, Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect looked at him furiously and made Asil Mirza stop then spoke: "Why is someone like you here? You don't know what this test is for? How dare you stand before me and attempt to take the test, when you are not even in the first level of the Elementary Profound Realm?"

Asil Mirza took a solemn look at the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect and answered fearlessly: "I thought this test measured people's potentials. The reason I do not have any Profound Power is that there is some kind of damage in my Profound Veins. But that does not mean that I have no potential. Am I wrong?"

The Young Master could not hide his astonishment at the response he received. What the boy before him said was true. It was a test of potential and it did not have much to do with Profound Power. But even so, it was a great humiliation for him to have a trash without any Profound Power to take the test of his own making.

Young Master's expression changed swiftly and he continued to speak fretfully: "What you say is true, but that doesn't mean you're capable of taking my test! And who do you think you are that you dare talk to me like that? You live in a dumpster. And I am The Young Master of the mighty Meteor City's glorious Burning Meteor Sect! If you had the nerve to take my test and talk to me like that, then I will set a condition for you. Your test requirement will be different from everyone else's. You need to be able to form at least seven, no you need to be able to form at least five Green Stars. But if you don't pass the test, I'll kill you! Killing you won't make much difference. A trash like you doesn't even deserve to live in the same world as me. Now, choose whatever you want! Are you going to accept my terms and take the test, or are you going to go back to where you came from and never show up again?"

The words of the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect surprised everyone. His words gave Asil Mirza quite an advantage, but no one saw it that way. After all, the Asil Mirza was nothing to them.

Cem Mirza and Yekta Mirza were the ones whose expressions changed the most because of the words of the young Master of the order of the Burning Meteor Sect! Because they could both predict the answer of Asil Mirza.

Asil Mirza was a man who tried to live without tarnishing his father's reputation. He certainly wasn't the kind of man who would run away in a situation like this. Because his fear and escape would humiliate his father, Cem Mirza, among so many people. He would risk his life not to do so, choosing the possibility of making his father a little proud.

And that was exactly what Yekta Mirza wanted. In fact, he didn't think that the events would unfold so perfectly. If Asil Mirza hose to flee, he would embarrass his father and increase the pressure of clan members on his father to get rid of him. As a result, the Asil would at least likely be expelled from the Mirza Clan. If he chose to take the test, he would surely have got rid of Asil Mirza as he thought it impossible for him to pass the test. Although he thought Asil Mirza would take the test, it didn't matter to him. Because right now, no matter what option Asil Mirza chose, it would be what he wanted, and he would get rid of Asil Mirza.

Asil Mirza clenched his fist and, after considering the possibilities, replied with a determined enunciation: "I choose to take the test."

His words surprised everyone except Cem Mirza and Yekta Mirza. After all, no one thought that the young man they saw as rubbish in their eyes would really want to take the test in these circumstances. To them, it was just suicide.

The Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect laughed arrogantly and spoke: "Hahaha, so you will take the test. Well, then let the test begin. But remember, if you don't meet my condition, you will die!"

After the Young Master spoke, Asil Mirza cut off his palm decisively and touched the sphere in front of him with his bleeding palm.

And the potential test of Asil Mirza, the last of the thirty to take the test, has begun.

About five seconds after the Test began, everyone's expression changed again. No one could hide their astonishment at what they saw. Five more seconds passed, and the bewilderment on people's faces reached an unexplainable state. If by comparison, the astonishment of Yekta Mirza's test result was a great hill, the astonishment of Asil Mirza's test result was like a mountain with a length that would pierce the sky.

The Young Master looked once again to the test result with a shocked expression, spoke strangely: "Wh... Wha... What is this!? Something like this has never been seen in the history of our Sect! No! Not only in our Sect but even in the history of Crimson Lightning Empire, no one that took the test of potential has ever got a result like this!! You agreed to my condition when you took the test, and since you agreed to it, after the results of this test, it became clear that you really had no right to live. Now die!!!"

What unfolded in the sphere when Asil Mirza took the test was truly shocking. What appeared in the sphere was exactly a quarter of a Green Star!! He was not even able to form a single Green Star and his potential was only enough to form a quarter of it. This was really the lowest result that anyone has ever taken this test!!

After speaking, Young Master reached out and grabbed Asil Mirza's throat and threw him about ten meters away.

When Asil Mirza hit the ground hard, every point in his body was hurt. He was completely vulnerable to any attack involving Profound Power as he had none. For this reason, let alone an attack by the Young Master, Even someone at the first level of the Elementary Profound realm would be able to hurt him severely.

"ASILLLL!!!" When Cem Mirza saw his son being thrown away, he shouted and desperately ran towards Asil Mirza. His heart was filled with pain after he checked Asil's condition. His son was in a serious condition now. About ten bones were fractured as a result of this simple launch motion involving Profound Power, and it would take at least half a month for them to recover.

After checking on his son's condition, Cem Mirza turned to The Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect and began to move furiously towards him.

As he advanced, all the members of the Mirza clan, including Yekta Mirza, and all the people around him were looking at him in disorientated fashion. Cem Mirza was the leader of the Mirza clan, which was quite famous in and around the Star Plain, and was known for being quite calm. But he was now in a state of complete desperation, and even though he was the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect, he was walking towards him in anger. And what caused this was the injury to his adopted son, which everyone considered rubbish!

"Dad, why are you going so far for a garbage! This could lead to the destruction of our clan!!" Yekta Mirza looked and shouted at Cem Mirza, who was moving towards the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Clan in a disorientated way.:

"Who you call garbage is your brother and no one can touch him as long as I am alive! If it were you, I would do the same thing! Because I'm not just the leader of the Mirza Clan. I am also the father of Yekta Mirza and Asil Mirza!!!" Cem Mirza answered by shouting as he moved forward in anger.

You could tell from his words what he was thinking of doing. He was planning to attack The Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect and make him pay for putting his son in this position!

When they realized this situation, the middle-aged man named Toraman and the other middle-aged man in the group from Meteor City immediately moved on and came to Cem Mirza in the blink of an eye. They hold down the Profound Power of Cem Mirza using their own and one grabbed him by the left, the other from the right wrist, then kicked the area behind his kneecaps to make Cem Mirza kneel.

It all happened so fast, and Cem Mirza didn't even have a chance to react to it. If he had not walked slowly and attacked the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect with a sudden attack, he would have killed him. But seeing his son in such condition, his ability to think was blinded for a moment and he could not think clearly. So he walked towards the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect and thought to maim him as he held him by the neck and threw him with his Profound Power as he had done to his son.

Of course, two middle-aged men who were members of the Burning Heaven clan couldn't ignore an attack on their Young Master. That's why when they found out, they intervened quickly. Since their Profound Power was higher than Cem Mirza, it was not too difficult for them to contain the situation.

On his knees, Cem Mirza shouted angrily as he struggled to get away from the hands of two middle-aged men holding him; "Let me go! You little bastard, I'll kill you! LET GO OF ME!"

The young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect looked furiously at the events in front of him and then spoke with contempt; "Who do you think you are that you can talk to me like that? And you didn't just talk, you thought you'd hurt me! You even tried it!! Good, good!! This weak place is filled with inferior and impertinent people! Looks like I'm gonna have to teach you a good lesson!!!"

After speaking, the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect looked at the middle-aged man named Toraman and spoke solemnly: "Uncle Toraman, put this despicable man down and make him look at this piece of trash I just threw. Don't let him look away or close his eyes. I'm gonna kill this garbage right in front of him. Then I will kill the clan members before his eyes. I'll teach him what it's like to defy me!!"

The words of the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect had caused everyone, especially members of the Mirza clan, to feel a tightness in their chests.

Members of the Mirza clan immediately began begging for their lives. But these futile supplications were interrupted by the words of the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect "Shut up and wait your turn!" Some of them tried to run. But after a few steps, they were stopped by the Profound Power aura emanating from two middle-aged men. Now they had no choice but to accept their fate and wait to die obediently.

"Young Master, that is my father. Please forgive this servant's father for what he did to you. Please don't kill my father." Fearing that his father might die, Yekta Mirza began to beg the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect. Although he did not like Asil Mirza and resented his father for adopting him, he really loved Cem Mirza. That is why he did not want his father to die. I was completely true.

The Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect looked at him and smiled ominously: "Don't worry I won't kill your father. I'll make him worse than dead. I am gonna kill all his loved ones in front of him and make him watch all this. Then I will leave him to live like this, I will give him a taste of hell! Simply killing him will only ease his pain, and I will not kill him because I want him to suffer as much as possible!" The words of The Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect had caused Yekta Mirza to be both relieved and even more terrified. In the end, even if his father were saved, he would have to live the rest of his life in pain. Living with that kind of pain could not be considered living. Although he was glad his father wouldn't die, he couldn't take away the pain in his heart when he thought that the people he grew up with were about to die.

After speaking with Yekta Mirza The Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect smiled ominously and proceeded towards Asil Mirza. As he advanced, the people holding Cem Mirza laid him down. Although Cem Mirza struggled to get up, he failed to do so.

When the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect came near Asil Mirza, he looked at him insolently and spoke: "It seems that you have a father that loves you foolishly, you piece of trash. So I'm gonna give you a chance to say your last words to him!"

Asil Mirza looked at the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect with a painful expression. Then he looked towards his father, who was not far away and tried to help him even in such a situation and smiled bitterly: "Dad, I'm sorry. I have never been a son worthy of you and I have never made you proud. Even if I will die now, don't blame yourself for that. You're the best father anyone could have in the world. Farewell, father!"

Asil Mirza could not look at his father, whose eyes began to bleed with sorrow after he spoke, and waited for the moment when he would close his eyes and die at the hands of the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect.

"I wish I could be born strong...I wish I could be a son who could make my father proud...I wish I had another chance... ''

As Asil Mirza closed his eyes and spoke to himself in his hear the Young Master of the Burning Meteor Sect looked at him with his ominous and despicable expression and prepared to crush Asil Mirza's head with his fist which he clenched and filled with Profound Power. But just as he was about to drop his fist, a rather strange sound was heard in the distance...

"What a lovely weather... The sky is beautiful... Beautiful seas... The roads are beautiful... But I am the best... I'm like a bee going from flower to flower... I'm like a tiger waiting for its prey... I am like a shooting star... who am I... I am an insignificant person... I am nobody... Hahahaha, I am walking, I am running... I am going where I want to go... Hahahaha."

When these words were heard, no one could make sense of it, and everyone who heard, without exception, looked towards the place where the sound was coming from. After a short time, someone appeared in the distance, walking towards the crowd of people gathered around. This person was a skinny and weak looking who wore shabby brown dresses, had messy hair, looked 40 to 50 years old.

That was the mysterious Skinny Man that Asil Mirza met at the Lake of Life!
