Fu Ji Wei stepped forward slowly, placing her palm upon the jade tablet.
A faint hum echoed through the hall as the tablet came to life, its surface glowing.
All eyes instantly fixed on the shifting colors.
It began with a soft yellow…
then deepened into dark, inky black.
Just when everyone expected that to be it, the glow shifted again.
The darkness lifted into earthy brown, and then, suddenly the entire tablet flared with a pristine, luminous white.
Gasps erupted around the assessment grounds.
"Heavenly Root. Bone age: twenty-one," the examiner announced, stunned.
Even his stern voice cracked with excitement. "Exceptional talent! A perfect foundation, one in millions. With proper guidance, this girl could shake the cultivation world."
Jealousy and admiration rippled through the examinees expression. They could only stare, powerless to hide the envy burning in their eyes.
From behind Hua Shen merely nodded, as though this result was no surprise to him at all.
